The Villain Fox's Sickly Beauty Master - Chapter 8

Chapter 8: The Wound, Initially Vivid Red, Was Licked Pale.

Although their time together was brief, 007 knew that its Host had a temperament that several oxen couldn’t pull back. It hesitated but still answered honestly.

If you want to eliminate the Heart Demon, there are only the two methods I mentioned before. However, the system store has pills to suppress the Heart Demon, which costs four hundred Fortune Value.

Upon receiving this answer, Jiang Jinheng breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile returned to her face.

“It’s fine, as long as it’s enough.”

This single sentence rendered 007 speechless for quite some time. Earlier, when Jiang Jinheng was coughing badly, it suggested she take a temporary cough suppressant pill for 1 point of credit, but she refused. Now, for the sake of this little girl, she was willing to empty out her savings.

It began to process the transaction with a slight resentment toward Fu Yi but suddenly found that the account was short two hundred Fortune Value.

Wait, it’s short a hundred.

While reporting, it was also checking the reason for this deduction of Fortune Value. Soon, just as Jiang Jinheng was about to ask, it added.

Found it. That fellow named Cang Yu, who was arguing with you earlier, took Mo Tong as his disciple. Therefore, his Fortune Value increased by two hundred points again.

The occurrence of this event was within Jiang Jinheng’s expectation, but the deduction of Fortune Value was something she hadn’t anticipated.

However, upon reflection, it made sense. Her mission was to seize a certain amount of Fortune Value from Mo Tong. If losing something would reduce his Fortune Value, then gaining something would naturally increase it.

Seeing Jiang Jinheng deep in thought, 007 assumed she was upset and explained more urgently than anyone else.

I’m sorry, I was just recently transferred to this department, and this is the first time I’ve seen points getting deducted after being added.

Hearing it say that, Jiang Jinheng realized it seemed to have misunderstood her meaning, but she didn’t explain, only bringing the topic back.

“You said earlier that this Fortune Value can be bought on credit?”

That’s correct. As long as the borrowed Fortune Value deficit is filled within seven days, it’s fine. If it exceeds that, a certain percentage of Fortune Value will be deducted later.

Jiang Jinheng nodded to show she understood. She sat on the edge of the bed and gently stroked Fu Yi’s tightly furrowed brow: “Then let’s borrow a hundred first.”

007 knew it couldn’t persuade its Host and was a little guilty because of the Fortune Value deduction earlier. It immediately started filling out the credit application form for Fortune Value, preparing to submit the request.

Why did a Heart Demon suddenly appear?

Jiang Jinheng kept watching the person on the couch. For a moment, she was distracted, and the uncongealed bl00d from the cut earlier dripped onto the corner of Fu Yi’s lips, and the person even smacked her lips.

When Jiang Jinheng reacted and tried to wipe it off for her, she saw that the black Qi swirling around Fu Yi’s brow had lessened by a fraction.

This discovery startled her. She immediately halted 007, which was about to report, and asked if it knew what was happening.

007 scanned Fu Yi again from top to bottom. It was also very surprised when it detected that the influence of the Heart Demon on Fu Yi had indeed subsided slightly.

What did you do?

It had been busy writing the report just now and hadn’t paid attention to Jiang Jinheng’s actions. However, if an alternative method could be found, they wouldn’t have to waste the hard-earned Fortune Value.

Jiang Jinheng didn’t answer immediately. She remained silent, but a few moments later, she raised her hand, made another cut beneath the congealing scab on her wrist, and fed the bl00d to Fu Yi’s mouth.

What are you doing!

Seeing this scene, 007 almost screamed. However, Fu Yi, who had been in great pain, relaxed the moment she tasted the bl00d, as if drinking some immortal dew. Her brows smoothed out, and the black Qi swirling around her brow gradually faded.

But Fu Yi acted as if she couldn’t drink enough. She grabbed Jiang Jinheng’s arm, licking the wound with her tongue while her canine teeth simultaneously gnawed on it. Jiang Jinheng felt dizzy and lightheaded, and the stinging and itching sensation on her wrist made her feel breathless.

Even if 007 was dull, it should know what had alleviated Fu Yi’s Heart Demon’s influence earlier. It was somewhat frustrated with Jiang Jinheng’s tendency to act without consulting, but seeing her current state, it still couldn’t help but remind her.

Quickly take two pills to replenish Qi and bl00d! Do you want to bleed to death with that frail body of yours!

It wasn’t until 007 mentioned it that Jiang Jinheng remembered this matter. Her Divine Sense entered the storage ring, and she took out a whole bottle of Spring Revival Pills and Qi Solidification Pills. She swallowed four pills of each in succession. Only then did Fu Yi release her hand.

The wound, initially vivid red, was licked pale. Even after taking several bl00d-replenishing pills, Jiang Jinheng’s lips were still very white, but she didn’t forget to use a spell to cleanse Fu Yi’s mouth. At the same time, she curved her lips and joked with 007.

“See? This saved four hundred Fortune Value, didn’t it?”

But you almost fed her half your bl00d, and you wasted so much spiritual power!

While Jiang Jinheng was feeding Fu Yi her bl00d, 007 had specifically researched many things. Only then did it understand why Jiang Jinheng’s bl00d had an inhibitory effect on Fu Yi’s Heart Demon.

Because Jiang Jinheng possessed a congenital spiritual body, the bl00d of someone with this physique inherently contained the cultivator’s fundamental spiritual power. If cultivated along the righteous path, the bl00d would have a devastating effect on lower-level demonic cultivators. For a cultivator of her level, one drop of bl00d was enough to completely annihilate some low-level demonic cultivators. Coupled with the fact that Jiang Jinheng had an ice spiritual root, her spiritual power naturally had an excellent calming effect. The combination of these two factors was what managed to suppress Fu Yi’s Heart Demon.

But Jiang Jinheng’s smile didn’t fade despite 007’s words.

“What’s the big deal? I’ll recover in a few days.”

007 really didn’t want to talk to this heartless person anymore. Talking more would only anger the system. It immediately closed the mic and returned to its system space to binge-watch shows. As the surroundings quieted down, Jiang Jinheng found some medicinal powder and white cloth, simply bandaged her wound, and came back to stare at Fu Yi for a long while.

In fact, Jiang Jinheng didn’t know why she was doing all this. It all seemed to stem from instinct, and she would only try to figure out the reason when she calmed down. But even now, she couldn’t explain it, as if she owed her something.

Perhaps it was exhaustion, or perhaps excessive bl00d loss. Jiang Jinheng leaned against the bedside, and without realizing it, she fell asleep.

Fu Yi happened to wake up at this moment. When she opened her eyes, she saw an unfamiliar ceiling. Various memories mixed together, and the scent of medicinal herbs filling her nostrils made her instantly recall the events that took place in that small room during her childhood.

Back then, nothing had happened. And it was precisely because of the kindness from that time that she wanted to approach that woman.

But what was the result in the end?

The hatred in her heart surged up at that moment. However, for some unknown reason, it wasn’t as painful as when she thought of this matter before.

Fu Yi stared at the ceiling for a long time before she started to wonder why she was here. She sat up abruptly and found someone sleeping next to the bed. That person was wearing an elegant, light-blue dress, her eyebrows interwoven with a hint of aloofness and coldness—a look Fu Yi would recognize even if she were turned to ash.

Fu Yi’s killing intent was fully exposed at this moment. Upon raising her head again, she realized that this place wasn’t entirely unfamiliar to her. However, for an unpopular disciple like her, she truly hadn’t entered her Master’s bedchamber more than twice, so she hadn’t recognized it immediately.

Perhaps her killing intent was too obvious. The Chongxiao sword hanging by the bed began to vibrate with a buzzing sound. It seemed to still feel remorse for suddenly unsheathing earlier and injuring its master. Its current vibration was merely a warning. However, this also drew Fu Yi’s attention to it. Just one glance made her breathing quicken, and she was exceptionally terrified.

It was this very sword that had sliced open her chest and dug out her heart back then.

Fear made Fu Yi’s body turn cold. She sat there, utterly lost, which in turn reminded her of the events that had just happened. She had chosen Jiang Jinheng at the Master Selection Ceremony due to the interference of the Heart Demon. Although the process seemed a little different from the previous life, the result was the same.

This realization made her feel a little forlorn. She bit her lower lip, suddenly remembering something she had overlooked.

The Heart Demon. Her Heart Demon seemed to have gone quiet.

Before the spiritual root test and during the Master Selection Ceremony, Fu Yi had noticed that as long as she thought about Jiang Jinheng, the Heart Demon would pop out and interfere with her decisions. Yet now, she was even harboring murderous intent toward Jiang Jinheng, but she hadn’t heard a single sound.

Why was this?

While she was thinking, Jiang Jinheng seemed to awaken due to the constant commotion made by the Chongxiao sword. Her movement was small, but it caught Fu Yi’s attention. She looked at those clear and profound eyes that held a faint trace of confusion. After spotting her, that confusion turned into a slight hint of joy.

Wait, why would she be happy to see her?

Before Fu Yi could think further, Jiang Jinheng turned her head and faced the constantly buzzing Chongxiao, scolding it like a child.

“Enough. If you keep making a fuss, I’ll toss you back into the furnace.”

As soon as Jiang Jinheng’s voice fell, Fu Yi seemed to hear a muffled whine of the sword, and then Chongxiao genuinely stopped moving.

It looked exactly like it was wronged but dared not say anything.
