Chapter 147: Primordial God Blood Fruit (1)

At the Wu family mansion, it is late into the night when Lady Yue steps into the main hall, her arms covered up to her elbows in blood. Behind her, Zhu Ye follows the mysterious cultivator, wearing a white facemask, his hands also stained with blood.

At their entrance, Lan Xiaohui stands up from her lounge, still holding Wu Yulans hand. The question does not need to be spoken, it is evident in my owners eyes.

Lady Yue nods, but her expression remains grim. Yun Fei will survive, Lady Yue says. Her wounds are not fatal.

Lan Xiaohui exhales sharply, her chin rising and her eyelids cycling as the relief washes over her. The ordeal of carefully carrying Yun Fei across the city to the mansion, and enduring the fear of not knowing whether Yun Fei would live or not for over twelve hours is finally coming to an end.

Wu Yulan now also stands up, and gently squeezes Lan Xiaohuis hand, smiling faintly and nodding. She is also relieved to hear the news.

This situation has proved, in many ways, that Lan Xiaohui is not ready yet. Her heart is still vulnerable and full of weaknesses; her attachment to her existence as Lan Xiaohui is, predictably, stronger than she realized.

Until she kills Yu Shun and rids herself of her past and that heart full of holes, the supreme sword will elude her grasp.

Whether my owner would remain useful to me had this weakness in her heart played out its full course is a mystery. I imagine that consumed by rage and the desire for vengeance, my owner would become an even more productive symbiote; alas, Lady Yue is, unsurprisingly, skilled at medicine too.

But it is also just as possible that Lan Xiaohui would give up the sword were Yun Fei to die.

I conclude that it is, perhaps, for the best that events have turned out the way they have.

However, there is a problem, Lady Yue says, as a servant brings a wet towel to her, and she begins to wash the blood off her arms. Her meridians are broken and her dantian is damaged. It is obvious that the intent was to break her cultivation.

Lan Xiaohui narrows her eyes at those words, very familiar with the concept and the process of having ones cultivation broken.

Will she? Lan Xiaohui begins, but she cannot bring herself to finish the sentence. Even I know that those who have had their cultivation destroyed would find no joy in life or any desire to continue existing. When Lan Xiaohui appeared before me, she was the same way.

Lady Yue nods. It is possible that she will recover you intervened quickly enough to limit the extent of the damage, but there is a different problem, Lady Yue explains, putting away the wet towel after it proves inadequate for the task. She is poisoned.The inaugural upload of this chapter took place via N0v3l-B1n.

Wu Yulan frowns. Her expression betrays her thoughts: why poison someone when you have already broken their cultivation at that point, it is simpler to just kill them.

This foolish girl values my capabilities higher than even those of someone like Lady Yue.

Lan Xiaohui looks at Lady Yue. I wish to try to create an antidote, she says.

Lady Yue sighs. Little lily, we dont have that much time.

Lan Xiaohui shakes her head, confident. We do. I know Yun Fei still has some time left."

Lady Yue stares at Lan Xiaohui, then her gaze switches to me. She stares at me for a few brief moments, before looking back up to my owner. She nods. All right, she says. Do you still have those wood essences?

Lan Xiaohui nods. I do.

We will need them, she says. They contain a vast amount of vitality, and your friend will need those.

Lan Xiaohui nods. Can we get more?

At this question, Lady Yue looks at Zhu Ye.

Zhu Ye shrugs at first but then nods after a moment of contemplation. It will be expensive, but I think I can find some.

What can we do? Wu Yulan asks.

Lady Yue glances at Wu Yulan. Since you have access to the Forbidden Lands of the Galaxy Sword sect, it is possible, but unlikely, to find some materials there. I will give you a list and description of items to look for.

Next, Lady Yue looks at Lan Xiaohui. It would also be best to bring Yun Fei to your Starsword Peak. The environment could help. We will need every advantage we can get.

Lan Xiaohui nods, and, once more, feels hope rising alongside certainty in her heart.

She does not say it; she does not think it either. But I can sense the words rising in her heart, louder and clearer than thunder.

Thank you, Yaoyue.
