Doctor

“Sorry, Shifu, I do not know why the white ape fiend king wants to settle some grudge from four thousand years ago. I coincidentally bumped into him and wanted to seal the spirit lord’s power in Qiao Xue. I did not embroil us in more trouble, did I?”

Feng Haochen cracked a smile. “It’s fine. You didn’t do anything wrong. Qiao Xue’s matter is far more important than the grudge.”

“Shifu, what is the grudge about? You were not born yet at the time. Why is he part of it all of a sudden?”

“You’ll find out later on. Don’t worry. He can’t harm me.”

Mu Yu fought the urge to pry and left. On his way out, he bumped into Xiang Nan. Xiang Nan leaned into Mu Yu’s ear and stated, “How was Hell on Earth? Second Brother said it was quite the place.”

“Third Brother, I would’ve let you go if I knew what I was in for.”

“Yeah, yeah, I bet you found flowers to pluck there.” Lie Shang came out from a corner and gave Mu Yu an accusative stare.

“Why did you make me go if you love it so much?”

“If you can’t even handle that much, how are you going to resist the spirit lords? I was giving you a chance to train your mental fortitude. Don’t tell me you already fell.”

“I’d love to let an axe kick fall on your head!”

They enjoyed some peaceful time while waiting for the pieces to come together. Ximen Buxing dropped by to notify them Xie Bulao would visit in five days’ time.

Mu Yu learnt that he was the most notorious among his cohorts despite being the weakest. Lie Shang was practically unknown despite having been at Third Heaven for four years.

In regards to the elemental demons, Lie Shang and Cheng Yan found one of their bases nearby Mist City. Their main base’s location was still unknown. Mu Yu’s story of how he left Moyun Mountains rendered Feng Haochen speechless. He had to admit the elemental demons were intelligent and innovative.

Lying in Xiang Nan’s hammock, Mu Yu asked Ku Mu, “You sure you don’t want me to come along?”

Ku Mu hadn’t spoke for days out of spite. He said he had to go and pick up something, hence Mu Yu’s question. He kept walking and replied, “I’m not a child.” Moments later, he came running back to kick Mu Yu and scolded, “Still sleeping? Get moving!”

Mu Yu yawned. “Didn’t you say you didn’t need me to come along?”Updated from n0velb(i)n.c(o)/m

“I’ll go now!”

“Don’t waste your time. You can substitute it with green wave ice thunder herb and golden flame willow leaf,” Ku Mu remarked.

Gu Xiaomin stopped and turned. “How do you know?”

“Experiments.” Ku Mu glanced over to Mu Yu, leading to Mu Yu’s eyes flying open.

“Are you certain? I have never heard of those two herbs.”

“Try it out. Judging from the colour of his wounds, I doubt he even has an hour left. You won’t make it back in time.”

As she was nervous, Mu Yu prompted, “You can trust him because I suffered from the same poison once. An old, stuttering, youth-hating old man poisoned me. I promise he’s right.”

Ku Mu’s scary glare came again.

“Xiaomin, what did you grab those two herbs for?” fumed Ji Zitang.

“The two over there said we could neutralise the poison with these two. I know I’ve seen one of them somewhere before. I think he’s right.”

“Are they the doctors or us? We’ve never tried this before. We can’t afford to be wrong. Go and purchase a seven-year-old herb!”

“Mu Yu, go and handle it.”

Mu Yu shook his head in disbelief and walk over. “Move, move, he has no time to waste.”

“What are you doing?! Don’t get in our way!”

Mu Yu shoved Ji Zitang aside and grabbed the two herbs from Gu Xiaomin. He crushed the two to powder, then grabbed the martial bamboo root and juiced it to mix the three together. The addition of the golden flame willow leaf created a rancid stench. Mu Yu turned the golden powder to liquid and gently stirred it. He spread the golden liquid onto the wound. The liquid slowly seeped into the wound, staunching the bleeding to replenishing blood. The victim’s breathing also steadied.

“Done. He should come to in about four to six hours.” Mu Yu dusted his hands and went back to his seat.

“You two are...” Ji Zitang scanned Mu Yu and then Ku Mu. “Y-you are Owner Ku Mu?!”

Mu Yu turned his head to Ku Mu with an eyebrow tugged up.
