Leng Mushi was now unconscious, so naturally she couldn't give Xiao Mian a definite answer. She just kept competing with Xiao Mian, as if she had unlimited energy.
During this time, Xiao Mian noticed that she had calmed down twice and tried to let her go and talk to her to bring her back to her senses, but all he got was two bite marks that were almost bloody.
As for Cangsheng Academy, not only Xuanzhu had not returned, but even the Second Elder, who was supposed to be concentrating on refining medicine, was nowhere to be seen. Xiao Mian had no choice but to lie on the bed holding Leng Mushi tightly.
The person in his arms has been restless. Xiao Mian's arms are numb and sore. He is also afraid of hurting Leng Mushi. After all, with his body shape, if he presses down for too long, the injuries on Leng Mushi's body will become visible after the effect of the medicine wears off and Leng Mushi regains consciousness.
Therefore, Xiao Mian had no choice but to hold Leng Mushi and turn her over, letting her lie on him with the back of her head resting on his shoulder.
This way, she couldn't be crushed. Xiao Mian was not afraid of this weight. He was sure that Leng Mushi must have taken some elixir that caused this. Xiao Mian waited for the effect of the elixir to wear off and for the people from Cangsheng Academy to come back. Since there was nothing else to do, he began to circulate his spiritual power to practice.
The spiritual power of Cangsheng Court was even purer than that of Tianxu Court where he lived. Xiao Mian repeatedly flushed his meridians inch by inch with the spiritual power.
Time passed quickly. It was still morning when he arrived, but when he opened his eyes again, it was already dark outside.
The people from Cangshengyuan haven't come back yet, and Leng Mushi, who he has been holding in his arms, seems to have fallen asleep.
He tried to roll sideways and put Leng Mushi off him. Leng Mushi did not suddenly attack him. Xiao Mian lay on the bed and breathed a sigh of relief.
He should have gotten up and left, but he couldn't help but grab Leng Mushi's wrist and probed with his spiritual power to check on her condition.
It was very calm. The two strange energies that were colliding and chasing each other all became dormant, and her meridians did not suffer any obvious damage.
Xiao Mian let out a breath slowly and placed her wrist on her waist. Leng Mushi lay flat beside him. The light of the eternal lamp in the room was very dim. Xiao Mian raised his hand and added some spiritual power into it, then looked at Leng Mushi.
She looked extremely tired, and her lips were very pale. Xiao Mian pulled the quilt closer to cover her. When it reached her neck, his fingers stopped on the purple mark on her neck.
He discovered it when he entered the house during the day. He was shocked and angry at the time, and thought she had been bullied. But it was not until now that he had the opportunity to take a closer look at the mark.
It looks like something bit me, the purple color is poison.
What in this house could bite her
Xiao Mian looked towards the eaves outside the window and saw a magic spider hanging there. He thought it was this thing.
So before Xiao Mian left, he set up another layer of barrier around Leng Mushi, specifically to block the demon spiders.
The second elder, who transformed into Xuanzhu, came back late at night. When he came back and wanted to get into bed to rest, he discovered the barrier around Leng Mushi and couldn't help but sneer.
He was too lazy to even change back, he just broke the barrier and fell asleep next to Leng Mushi.
The next morning, Leng Mushi opened her eyes and saw Xuanzhu's face. She calmly supported herself with her arms and stood up. As Xiao Mian had expected, after the effect of the medicine wore off, the impact injuries and sprains from yesterday returned to her body all at once.
Leng Mushi gritted her teeth and lifted up her clothes and trouser legs to check her bruises, then she side-glanced at her master, who this time did not grab her hair and pull her up to find medicine to heal herself.
Yesterday, she fell ill after taking the elixir. Before she completely lost her mind, her master tied her up and caused her to be bitten by the vengeful demon spider. Leng Mushi remembered clearly.
However, this old guy still had a bit of conscience. After he lost consciousness, he did not go to sleep without caring where she was like he did in the previous times. Instead, he put her on the bed and let her sleep well.
Leng Mushi looked at Hua Yanyue holding Xuanzhu's face and sighed softly, thinking, maybe her master wasn't completely stone-hearted...
"What are you looking at me for? Go and record the drug reaction. I went out yesterday. It was Xiao Mian who witnessed your reaction after taking the pill." Hua Yanyue changed back to her original appearance as she stood up. She yawned and looked at Leng Mushi. "Why, do you think I carried you up here?"
Leng Mushi wanted to betray his master and ancestors again.
But after Hua Yanyue gave her the recovery elixir, she reluctantly held back. She and Xiao Mian had agreed to meet at the cliff today, so why did he come to see her yesterday
She didn't do anything bad, right? After all, she has no memory of yesterday...
Leng Mushi took down the law stone that she had placed high up yesterday to record her reaction after taking the medicine, and then infused it with the thin spiritual power she already had, and used a self-taught tracing formation to review the footage of her reaction after taking the medicine yesterday.
Then Leng Mushi felt very disappointed.
The image was suspended above the rules, appearing in mid-air. Leng Mushi watched herself jumping up and down in the picture and biting Xiao Mian in an unruly manner. Xiao Mian was chased all over the room by her. The corners of her mouth kept rising and falling, and she didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
The one who was laughing was Xiao Mian, he was so fucking miserable.
The one crying was definitely doomed. He would definitely not meet her today, and he would definitely not fulfill his promise to help her test the medicine.
After all, she had made such exaggerated statements three days ago in order to deceive Xiao Mian, saying that the elixir would only cause people to have all kinds of strange reactions for a short period of time and would not affect their consciousness and behavior. However, when Xiao Mian came to find her, she behaved like a monkey with the head of a vicious dog.
"Master, please stop him. I managed to trick him into agreeing to let me try the medicine. Don't you also want to know what effect these pills will have on a loser like me?"
Leng Mushi said to Hua Yanyue with a cold face, and the meaning of complaint was very obvious.
The relationship between them as master and disciple was very different from that between other masters and disciples in the sect. Ever since Leng Mushi couldn't stand the torture brought by the drug for the first time and pulled Hua Yanyue's hair to betray her master and ancestors, the mask of master and disciple between them had been completely shattered.
Although she calls him Master now, they are actually just a team.
She agreed to help Hua Yanyue test medicine and take care of the monsters and beasts while she was away from the sect.
Hua Yanyue promised Leng Mushi that if Leng Mushi could not learn to make pills in the end, after she found what she was looking for and returned to the sect, she would give Leng Mushi a lot of advanced pills and put her into other elders' councils to be an inner disciple.
Changing masters midway is very difficult for others. Xiao Mian and Leng Tianyin begged Tianxuzi for so long, but Tianxuzi didn't give in. No one would provoke Hua Yanyue for a disciple with extremely poor aptitude.
But if Hua Yanyue herself doesn't want a disciple, then no matter who she gives the disciple to, even if Leng Mushi wants to become a disciple of the head master Zhengping, Hua Yanyue can do it. So again, no one will mess with Hua Yanyue for a disciple with extremely poor qualifications.
So after the master and disciple reached a friendly agreement, they got along more easily and freely. Leng Mushi was only respectful in words, and when it was time to hit someone, she had to fight even if she couldn't win. Hua Yanyue basically didn't make pills and hardly used spiritual power. Most of the time, the master and disciple would tear each other apart and fight hand-to-hand.
So Hua Yanyue listened to Leng Mushi's complaints, turned over lightly, walked around her and headed for the cellar, saying, "I couldn't stop you. Your lover came to you in a hurry, afraid that I would eat you. I transformed into Xuanzhu and asked him to leave, but he seemed to think of me as a love rival..."
Hua Yanyue said this, standing by the cellar, turned around and blinked at Leng Mushi, raised one corner of her mouth, and smiled very evilly: "I was not here yesterday, and he didn't touch you? He didn't even kiss you? You didn't even put on your coat, is this kid so strong-willed? Or is he just timid..."
Leng Mushi watched her go down to the cellar speechlessly, thinking to herself, you know shit, Xiao Mian is the male protagonist, and the male protagonist must be a gentleman. Not to mention that her clothes were in disarray yesterday, even if she was naked, he must be Xiao Xiahui in the world. After all, the male protagonist can only have physical intimacy with the female protagonist.
She had long forgotten that she had blown up Xiao Mian's belly by blowing his mouth.
After eating all the food in the lunch box that Xiao Mian brought yesterday, Leng Mushi was just full. She wiped her mouth, went into the underground medicine storehouse, and scooped up a handful of top-grade healing pills from a large water vat that was as thick as two people could hug. She ate several of them like candy beans.
"Don't eat too much," Hua Yanyue said to Leng Mushi while fiddling with the alchemy furnace without even turning her head, "I've told you so many times that the effects of that medicine don't stack up, so it's useless if you take too much."
Leng Mushi turned around and hit Hua Yanyue on the back of her head with one. Hua Yanyue grabbed it and put it in her mouth to chew. She nodded and said, "It's delicious, a bit like candy. The morning glory tastes so sweet... It's hard to imagine that it grows on bones and is called a flower, but it's actually a bone spur transformed from a maggot."
Leng Mushi had long been accustomed to Hua Yanyue's evil, which either tormented or disgusted people. Others would give her a sweet date after a slap in the face, but she would give her a slap and then a punch. She deserved to have no apprentice.
However, Leng Mushi still silently remembered what Hua Yanyue said. Even if she could not follow the path of alchemy in the end, she was still madly absorbing everything Hua Yanyue allowed her to touch.
She has even memorized thousands of herbs for making pills and their effects when used individually these days. Hua Yanyue would often say something like this from time to time. Although she never taught her, Leng Mushi had a vague feeling that she was teaching her.
The master leads the way, but it is up to the individual to practice. She has poor spiritual roots and weak spiritual power. If she rashly opens the furnace to refine medicine, she will surely be blown to death. However, she has memorized hundreds of prescriptions and is constantly developing new medicines with Hua Yanyue.
Even if she has no talent or spiritual roots, she will try her best.
Leng Mushi did not notice Hua Yanyue was secretly observing her. Hua Yanyue saw Leng Mushi moving her lips and mumbling softly, repeating what she said about the morning glory. She curled her lips in satisfaction and continued to busy herself with placing the herbs into the alchemy furnace.
"Today's medicine should try red snake blood. It's because your lover injured the red snake yesterday," Hua Yanyue said, "I hope your lover can come back soon. If you can persuade him to try the pill made from the red snake blood, I can give you a pill to cleanse your spiritual roots. It will be a bit painful, but maybe your useless spiritual roots can be saved..."
Leng Mushi paused, her heart was beating wildly, but now she had to hurry to see Xiao Mian and coax him into submission.
She took a handful of healing pills, crushed them into foam, and added water to make it into a cream. Then she nervously crawled out of the medicine store with the medicine bottle in her arms, ready to go meet Xiao Mian.
Today's journey went particularly smoothly because the red snake was injured and no one ambushed her.
Leng Mushi left Cangshengyuan and headed straight for the cliff, but she waited there for a long time and Xiao Mian didn't come.
"It's over, he must have changed his mind." Leng Mushi put the law in the grass, and released Fenlian, lying on the ground with a grass leaf in his mouth, blocking the sunlight with his elbows, and kept muttering anxiously.
"What should I do..." Should I go to Leng Tianyin and ask her for a solution
"I don't think he would break his promise. Maybe something delayed him. Just because he was bitten so badly yesterday... It's hard to find someone as stupid as that if he didn't let go or tie you up."
Leng Mushi laughed when she heard this, and the voice of the law came faintly: "You'd better hide well. When Xiao Mian finds you, he will definitely chop you in half."
Leng Mushi was still waiting for Fenlian to fight back. She liked to tinker with the rules and fight with Fenlian when she had nothing to do, and she just listened to the fun. The rules were very cold at first, and Leng Mushi once thought that he was not a human soul, but after staying with her for a long time, he talked a lot and had more emotions.
Leng Mushi now feels that he might also be a sealed human soul.
However, before Leng Mushi could wait for Fenlian to retort, the sunlight above her head was blocked by a shadow.
Feeling the light dimming, Leng Mushi opened her eyes and saw Xiao Mian standing upright beside her, looking down at her.
"Are you okay?"
"Are you okay?"
The two spoke at the same time. Leng Mushi smiled with narrowed eyes, sat up, took out the grass leaves in her mouth and threw them away, and tested Xiao Mian a little stiffly: "Brother Xiao, I'm sorry, I lost my mind yesterday... How could I do that to you? When I think back, my memory is very confused, but I accidentally hurt you and I feel like I can't breathe..."
Xiao Mian's eyebrows did not move at all, but the fingers hanging by his sides were slightly curled up.
Leng Mushi apologized with tears in her eyes and said a lot of nice things. Xiao Mian finally sat next to her, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
Very good, the person has been coaxed back.
"Brother Xiao, are you okay?" Leng Mushi moved closer to Xiao Mian and asked again, while her eyes glanced across Xiao Mian's chest inconspicuously.
"How much do you remember about yesterday?" Xiao Mian was a little embarrassed and turned slightly to avoid Leng Mushi's sight.
Leng Mushi took out a small medicine bottle and said to Xiao Mian, "Not much, it was intermittent, but I know it bit you."
Leng Mushi said, "Brother Xiao, this is the medicine I asked my master for this morning. It's very useful. Can I help you apply it?"
Xiao Mian had indeed suffered some pain. He was in pain from the morning class this morning and was too embarrassed to go to Fangcao Palace for treatment. His spiritual power could only provide relief. After all, he was not really powerful yet and was still a mortal.
But the injury was so shameful that he couldn't tell anyone, so he could only endure it himself.
Originally, he was a little embarrassed and annoyed because the bite was too painful, but after Leng Mushi spoke softly for such a long time, he was not angry at all.
"Forget it, give it to me, I can do it myself." Xiao Mian said, "I didn't come late on purpose this morning. The sect plans to hold a preliminary test among the new disciples in March to test what they have learned in the past few months and their Dao heart, so I will..."
Leng Mushi's heart sank, thinking that Xiao Mian was going to say in the next half of his sentence, "I don't have time to see you in the future," so she simply used this extremely legitimate excuse to cancel her promise to try the drug.
But Xiao Mian hesitated and said, "I will have little time during the day, why not make an appointment at night? If you are afraid..."
"I'm not afraid!" Leng Mushi hugged Xiao Mian's arm as if she was hugging a solid tree.
"I'm not afraid of anything, I'm just afraid that Brother Xiao won't want to see me," Leng Mushi rubbed her little face against Xiao Mian's arm softly, "Brother Xiao, I will wait for you at this cliff every three nights from now on."
The midday sun was a bit strong, and Xiao Mian felt inexplicably hot. He struggled a little, avoiding Leng Mushi's face, and then said reservedly: "Yeah."
Leng Mushi's happy face looked like a flower blooming, and this flower was facing Xiao Mian, emitting a faint "poisonous gas", which made him dizzy and coaxed him into eating the pills that Leng Mushi brought.
Then when the drug took effect, all the grass on the edge of the cliff was pulled out.
Fazi was conscientiously making a photo stone to record the inhumane drug testing process. After Xiao Mian fainted, Leng Mushi stripped him of his clothes. When she was applying medicine to the wound on his chest that was swollen due to friction, Fenlian came out and said "tsk tsk tsk" at the side.
"This one is so swollen that it's almost as big as me."
It is indeed a bit horrible, and it looks like the teeth marks cannot be removed without special removal.
This won’t do. We have to think of a way, otherwise it will be difficult for Xiao Mian and Leng Tianyin to explain it later.
"You were so cold just now," Fen Lian turned into a small butterfly and flew around Leng Mushi, "as if you had never loved before..."
Leng Mushi slapped her away and muttered, "I have never loved in the first place."
She applied medicine to the bite wounds on Xiao Mian's front, back, shoulders, and neck, and fed him healing medicine. Then she sat on the edge of the grass and waited for him to wake up.
The sun was gradually setting in the west, and she was drowsy. When Xiao Mian woke up, he first saw Leng Mushi curled up with her head buried in his arms, seemingly asleep.
He felt a chill in front of him, and his heart started to boil as soon as he lowered his head. His clothes were spread out and left to dry!
He quickly stood up in panic and grabbed his clothes, looking at Leng Mushi with the eyes of a virgin who married an old man and looked at the old guy beside her in despair on her wedding night, considering whether to poke him to death with a hairpin.
Leng Mushi seemed to sense something, and she sat up vaguely, rubbing her eyes, and asked Xiao Mian in a lazy voice, "Is Brother Xiao's injury better?"
Xiao Mian frowned and quickly straightened his clothes.
Then I deliberately leaned sideways to feel it, and it was indeed... much better.
But he was really embarrassed and didn't know how to face Leng Mushi. Seeing her confused look, he stood up first and ran away before she was fully awake.
Leng Mushi achieved her goal. She took the record of the reaction of Xiao Mian after taking the medicine and put it in her arms. She went to the Five Grains Hall to eat, and planned to go back after she finished eating.
Then she met Leng Tianyin in the Five Grains Palace. The heroine and the plot were truly everywhere.
Leng Tianyin was obviously doing well in the inner sect just as described in the plot, and was surrounded by a group of young ladies, including Zhu Rong.
That's your love rival, silly sister.
Leng Mushi's desire to follow the plot is getting lower and lower. To be honest, the pain of the burning soul is not unbearable. What she finds very strange is that after each pain of the burning soul, she feels physically and mentally relaxed, as if she has not had any relief for many days.
It’s hard to explain, but compared to taking those strange pills from Hua Yanyue, it’s nothing.
Therefore, she had no intention of paying any attention to Leng Tianyin's sticky eyes that seemed to want to get close to her at any time.
Just concentrate on eating.
However, if Leng Tianyin had any sympathy, she would not have dreamed of having a deep sisterly relationship with her.
While Leng Mushi was taking a bite of rice, she looked up again and saw four or five young girls gathered in front of the table.
"You are Tianyin's sister, right? I heard that you are the second elder's disciple. Are the things the second elder teaches difficult?"
There was a little female cultivator with almond-shaped eyes, who looked to be in her teens, who asked curiously.
"Sister, how have you been lately?" Leng Tianyin asked.
Leng Mushi said nothing, glanced at them and continued eating.
"Why don't you say anything? We are all very curious about what you learned from the Second Elder," Zhu Rong said, "Nianci, please tell us."
She felt that she and Leng Mushi had a good relationship, but she didn't know that her dried meat made Leng Mushi feel embarrassed to meet Yi Tu Xingzhou until now.
With so many eyes staring at her, Leng Mushi really couldn't eat anymore, so she looked up and started to scare them.
She casually mentioned the matter of the demon spider and the bone-crushing lizard, and they were all frightened. They had not yet officially gone out to gain experience, and only Zhu Rong's face looked better. She looked at everyone with disdain and continued to ask questions with great interest.
The little girl chattered non-stop, and her excessive curiosity was too much for Leng Mushi to handle. She barely ate her fill, so she looked for an opportunity to slip away.
Leng Tianyin chased her and called her sister. To Leng Mushi, this was more frightening than a red snake chasing her with its mouth wide open and trying to bite her.
Leng Mushi ran back to Cangshengyuan like a dog being chased. As soon as she entered the door, she heard a "bang" in the house.
Flowers cover the moon as the furnace is burning.
The demon spiders on the small house were all shocked and fled in all directions. Every time the medicine was ready, Hua Yanyue's routine "hehehe" terrifying laughter could be heard. Leng Mushi stood at the door, and for a moment she didn't know whether to go out and chat with Leng Tianyin about sisterhood, or go in and grit her teeth to try this new medicine that was destined to keep her awake all night.
After thinking for only two breaths, she decided to discuss sisterhood with Leng Tianyin.
But before he could step out of the door, Hua Yanyue's whip entangled his waist and dragged him back into the house.
"Bang!" the door closed.
Another wonderful night began.
The author has something to say: Xiao Mian: She is so clingy.
Law Pink Lotus Leng Mushi:…
