Chapter 308
Feixiao found a glass, put the Life Bud into it, and used the power of the Hunt to seal the life force it emitted.
That's what made it ordinary...
"Okay, that's fine now."
Are you sure?
Seeing Feixiao pack the item up and hand it back to her, Jade Spirit hesitated a little. The unbearable itching all over her body was not pleasant.
It feels like the sensation of tender flesh growing back from a wound, but much stronger, as if the body has been forcibly given a second growth spurt.
"Sure."
Feixiao's tone was certain.
"..."
Jade Spirit looked at her and finally decided to accept it. Although there had been a slight mishap, she was now even more interested in it.
This tender sprout was even more powerful than she had imagined; it could actually bring everything back to life.
"You said before that this is a tender sprout from the seed of blessing sown by the Ancestor of Ancestor of Plague and Calamity. Who is the Ancestor of Plague and Calamity?"
Taking the tender sprout again, Jade Spirit felt relieved, as the previous sensation was gone. Then, remembering Feixiao's words, she asked him about it.
"The Ancestor of Plague and Calamity... In the eyes of many, He is the nurturer of all living beings, the god of paradise, whose aim is to ensure the prosperity of life. He is also Aeon who never refuses prayers and cannot bear to see decay and disease."
After a moment of contemplation, Feixiao realized that, apart from Emperor Gongming, a large part of her power came from this Ancestor of Plague and Calamity.
"The god of paradise? The Aeon? A deity..."
Do gods really exist in this world?
Jade Spirit was very skeptical, but this thing was indeed very unusual...
"There's no need to say too much about the relevant information. If you can embark on a path of Abundance, you will understand His message."
"Now that I've given you the deposit, what about the accompanying physician?"
For Jade Spirit Yuling, ordinary wealth and power might not matter, but she couldn't possibly refuse a divine object like the Life Bud.
Even if he was refused, Feixiao had other preparations.
Winning her over isn't actually that difficult!
"I'm quite interested in it, but I don't even know how to study it..."
Jade Spirit looked at the object in her hand. This result wasn't enough for her to betray herself. She needed at least a way to access it, otherwise she could only watch...
"Didn't I say that as long as you agree to become my accompanying physician, I will naturally assist you in Step Onto the Path, and then you will be able to come into contact with it?"
After saying that Feixiao winked at her playfully.
That way, you'll have her hooked!
"... Destiny?"
Stepping onto the Path of Destiny allows one to come into contact with this divine object? What is the Path of Destiny? Jade Spirit became even more curious; Feixiao before her held so many secrets.
"The path followed by the Aeon. Those who walk with them will surely receive their blessings. This is destiny."
"..."
The path followed by the Aeon? Jade Spirit was somewhat bewildered, but looking at Feixiao's appearance, she was afraid that if she didn't accept her invitation, she wouldn't be able to help her Step Onto the Path.
To entice herself to become her personal physician with these things? Well, she admitted she was tempted.
"Now that things have come to this point, do I still have a reason to refuse? I agree to be your accompanying physician, but I have conditions. How about we agree on three conditions beforehand?"
"...you say."
Feixiao had no objection if it wasn't excessive; she and Jiao Qiu had agreed on the method from the beginning.
"It's very simple..."
Jade Spirit's request was nothing special, and Feixiao agreed without hesitation after hearing it.
Because in Feixiao's mind, these requests she made were perfectly reasonable, and there was nothing to hesitate about.
Over the next few days, Jade Spirit received the Life Bud from Feixiao and began studying its components.
Although Feixiao believed that no matter how skilled she was in medicine, it was impossible for her to research and develop anything from the Aeon's gift.
But that didn't stop her; after all, having aspirations is a good thing. Jade Spirit's medical skills had reached a bottleneck, and she needed to find a new goal.
To prevent anything from happening to her and causing harm to the beautiful doctor he had finally found, Feixiao gave him an Abundance Light Cone.
With the Light Cone in hand, the abundant Abundance Divine Power of the Life Bud would no longer pose any negative danger to her.
Regardless, Feixiao was still happy to see Jade Spirit's medical skills reach new heights.
"Miss Feixiao!"
"Good morning, Miss Feixiao!"
Walking near the Hiru Demon Village, occasionally a beautiful girl with three eyes would greet Fei Xiao warmly when she saw Feixiao. Over the past two days, they had become quite familiar with Feixiao's presence.
After all, it was Jade Spirit who gave the instructions, and the relationship between leech demons and fox demons is much closer compared to other races. At least there is no xenophobia involved.
Good morning, are you going to gather herbs?
Seeing the baskets they were carrying filled with herbs still covered in soil, Feixiao knew, even though he didn't recognize them, that they must be very good medicinal materials.
"Hmm, a good day."
A leech demon girl answered with a smile.
Because of the leech demon's talent and the renowned physician clan leader, Jade Spirit, most members of the Leech Tribe have studied medicine.
They could be considered a potential medical team.
Looking at these leech demon girls, Feixiao had the idea of bringing them all under his control.
In military campaigns, casualties are inevitable. Even with Xianzhou Cloud Cavalry, and even with a great victory, there will always be many wounded.
However, the lack of accompanying doctors is quite a problem...
But there's no rush. They've already won over their clan leader, Jade Spirit, and the entire Leech Demon clan will be hers sooner or later.
Before that, we need to deal with some traitors to avoid jeopardizing our future medical team.
Feixiao's gaze swept over the several male leech demons not far away.
Compared to the poised and confident female leech demons, the girl saw very few male leech demons here. Even those she did see were all cautiously watching her from the shadows.
I dared not look him in the eye.
For example, right now, when Feixiao looked at those male leech demons, they all quickly turned their heads away and avoided Feixiao's gaze.
I don't know if it's shyness or something else...
Among the Leech Tribe, due to their inherent nature, males are inherently inferior to females in certain aspects, which is why female leech demons are relatively dominant.
One of the reasons for the tragedy of Cuiyu Xiaotan and Jade Singing Luan in the original work was that a certain male leech demon was not satisfied with the status quo, so he betrayed the leech demon clan.
They even conspired with Jin Renfeng to harm women of their own clan...
Thinking about all this, Feixiao took the initiative to walk towards the male leech demons in front of him, preparing to ask them some questions.
She wasn't entirely sure which male leech demons were the culprits who harmed Cuiyu Xiaotan; she needed to confirm that.
But when Feixiao approached, these male leech demons turned and fled as if they had seen some kind of ferocious beast.
Feixiao stopped in his tracks, lost in thought, wondering why he was so afraid of himself.
Thinking back on the past few days, she hadn't done anything special, just exercised and strolled around, right? It couldn't have been that she scared them while exercising, could it?
"..."
Influenced by Feixiao's habits, she got used to exercising every day, but her exercise routine might frighten ordinary people.
That's too extreme!
Even when running, she does it at a speed that is unimaginable to ordinary people.
However, since there were no treadmills here, she could only exercise around the village...
"Feixiao, I've found something here. If you're free right now, why don't you come with me?"
Just as Feixiao was about to go back to her place to take a shower, Jade Spirit, who had been researching new things for the past few days, appeared beside her.
"Don't tell me you actually analyzed the components of the Life Bud?"
Hearing Jade Spirit's words, Feixiao was a little surprised. The Life Bud is essentially a blessing of Abundance Divine Power. Unless it is someone like Ruan Mei, she finds it hard to imagine that others can analyze it.
"Not really, but I did manage to get something out of your blood."
Jade Spirit smiled sweetly, like a kind older sister next door, incredibly gentle. Normal people couldn't understand what Feixiao was going through, so she had to ask Feixiao to come in person.
"?"
You actually managed to do something?
Although she knew that Jade Spirit was a highly skilled healer, and was said to be able to cure any injury or illness in the world, this was just too outrageous.
"Okay, wait a minute, I'll go back and take a shower first. It'll be quick, just five minutes."
Although she didn't know what it was, Feixiao was indeed interested. However, she had just finished running and was covered in sweat, so she needed to take a shower first.
At her speed, five minutes would be enough.
However, Jade Spirit grabbed her hand.
"No need, you can just come to my place to wash. I can also give you another check-up."
After saying that, Jade Spirit didn't give Feixiao a chance to speak and directly pulled him towards her residence.
11
Chapter 11 Perhaps... I arrived at the wrong time?!
Pulled along by Jade Spirit, Feixiao could only suppress his discomfort and followed her to her residence, which was the deepest part of Jianbi Lake.
Surrounded by water on all sides, with birds singing and flowers blooming, this naturally tranquil environment is like a true paradise. Various exotic flowers and rare herbs are planted all around.
Poison would be even better if it weren't for those insects.
"Since you're not afraid of these bugs, I'm relieved."
Along the way with Feixiao, Jade Spirit kept an eye on Feixiao's condition. When she saw that Feixiao remained expressionless in the face of the insects and poisonous creatures around her, she couldn't help but smile.
Although it's hard to admit, the leech demon clan, despite being called the water spirit clan and possessing naturally spiritual eyes, is, to many, a terrifying insect in its true form.
Therefore, Feixiao is not afraid of insects, and I feel much more at ease spending time with him.
It would be bad if she revealed her true form and scared Feixiao into resisting.
"Although I'm not afraid of bugs, I don't like them."
After saying that, Feixiao expressionlessly stomped on the poisonous insect that had crawled to his feet and killed it.
This made Jade Spirit raise an eyebrow slightly, but she quickly thought of something, grabbed Feixiao's hands, and brought her head close to Feixiao...
Looking at Feixiao with affectionate eyes, she whispered in his ear, "... Then... do you like me?"
Feeling the warmth of Jade Spirit's breath enter her ears, Feixiao's fox ears twitched instinctively. This female demon... she's so good at it, so seductive.
"I like it this way, as for the original form..."
Feixiao didn't push her away; instead, he looked her over carefully and then gave her this answer.
The Jade Spirit's human form is indeed very beautiful, like a friendly older sister with a touch of mischievousness; the more you look at her, the more you like her! However, her true form is still hard to conceal.
"... Miss Feixiao, if I hadn't examined you, I would have really had my doubts. Why are you like those men, only caring about... appearance?"
"?"
"Is it true that liking or pursuing beautiful things is not a matter of gender, Miss Jade Spirit?"
"..."
Jade Spirit paused for a moment, then smiled her usual smile again and pushed open the door.
"Come in. Didn't you want to take a bath? Why don't you soak in the medicinal bath I prepared, and let me give you another full-body check-up while you're at it?"
