No More Lingshui Twin Heroes in This World

As for squatting to pee, Hua Wu could not help but wonder, "Could this be a rejection reaction?"

"It's possible," Hua Wen replied.

"Brother, should we keep practicing?"

Hua Wu was actually somewhat panicked by these changes.

Thinking back carefully, he realized that over the past ten days or so, not only had they been urinating more and unconsciously squatting to pee, they had also lost all desire in that regard.

The two brothers were in the prime of their lives. Before this, they had gone looking for women to vent themselves upon every month, yet this month, they had not reacted at all.

He had always thought it was because they had become so engrossed in training, but now that he thought about it, could this also be related to the cultivation art?

Was it also a rejection reaction?

Hua Wen's gaze was deep as he said, "Practice!"

Hua Wu nodded. "Mm."

Because having come this far, they could no longer turn back.

The Jade Sword True Qi they had painstakingly cultivated by consuming Great Medicine had been almost completely erased by the qi fused with Lunar Essence. They could only continue cultivating this stronger, more domineering Lunar Essence qi.

Besides, their situation was not good now.

If Hua Wen said they might have been targeted, then they truly might have been targeted.

His senses had always been accurate.

The next day, Hua Wu got out of bed and looked in the mirror.

It was still that face brimming with heroic spirit, yet this time Hua Wu did not feel pleased with himself as he had before. Instead, he found it somewhat strange.

Only when he saw his elder brother's face, identical to his own, did he suddenly realize. "Brother, your beard!"

That was right. Their once thick beards had become much sparser.

When Hua Wu rubbed his hand over it, strands of beard hair fell away, fragile and weak.

At once, the brothers' expressions changed.

They became exceptionally ugly.

Their beards were falling out!

After roaming the martial world for so many years, those thick, rugged beards had once been the mark of the "Lingshui Twin Heroes."

Hua Wen suddenly thought of something. He pulled it open to look, and his face instantly turned pale as paper.

Hua Wu followed suit and cried out in shock. "Why is mine so small?!"

"Brother, could this also be a rejection reaction?"

By now, Hua Wu was clearly panicking.

Hua Wen remained silent, saying nothing.

Hua Wu paced back and forth nonstop, occasionally looking at his bird as he did so. "Brother, there must be a way to save it!"

Hua Wen frowned. "Xue Divine Physician! Xue Divine Physician isn't far from us."

"Right, let's go find Xue Divine Physician!"

At Mercy Aid Hall, people came and went, and the four physicians inside were busy beyond measure.

The pharmacy's booming business was all thanks to Xue Divine Physician's reputation.

Xue Divine Physician was an old divine physician who had been famous for many years. It was said that even if you had already stepped through the gates of hell, as long as you still had one breath left, Xue Divine Physician could pull you back.

But he was not without flaws. He was expensive.

Because he was expensive, relatively fewer people came looking for him.

Now that his four disciples could each stand on their own and earn both large and small sums of money, he was happy to enjoy some leisure.

Yet this morning, he encountered two visitors who claimed to be old acquaintances of his.

Looking at these two square-faced women who appeared almost identical, Xue Divine Physician found them somewhat familiar, yet could not recall who they were.

"And you two are?"

Hua Wen and Hua Wu had traveled day and night to find Xue Divine Physician, completely unaware that the changes in their bodies had progressed another step.

Hua Wu anxiously said, "Xue Divine Physician, you truly forget favors as soon as you rise high! What kind of relationship did the Lingshui Twin Heroes have with you, yet you've forgotten us?"

Xue Divine Physician suddenly realized and excitedly said, "You're the Hua Wu brothers!"

That was right. Once he was reminded, that familiar feeling immediately became clear.

"It's us!" Hua Wu said excitedly.

A strange expression appeared on Xue Divine Physician's face. "Why are you dressed up like this? Are you going somewhere?"

"Dressed up? No!"

The two looked in a mirror and were terrified out of their wits.

Hua Wu hurriedly explained all the strange changes in his body.

Naturally, he skipped over their experiences of planting and harvesting medicine, directly saying that they had happened upon Duan Yun, learned his cultivation art, and become like this.

"Take off your pants first," Xue Divine Physician said seriously.

Hua Wen and Hua Wu hurriedly took off their pants.

At once, Xue Divine Physician's eyes lit up. His face brimming with excitement, he said, "This is Shrinking Yang into Abdomen—genuine Shrinking Yang into Abdomen!"

Whenever Xue Divine Physician saw a strange and difficult illness, he became especially excited.

Hua Wu hurriedly asked, "Then can it still be cured?"

"Give me your hand," Xue Divine Physician said.

Before Hua Wu even had time to pull up his pants, he offered his hand to Xue Divine Physician.

"Impressive!"

"Impressive!"

"Impressive!"

As Xue Divine Physician took his pulse, he could not help saying "Impressive!" three times in a row.

"What an incredibly formidable, wicked cultivation art!"

"Can it be cured or not?!" Hua Wu asked anxiously.

Xue Divine Physician carefully felt his pulse. After a moment of silence, he shook his head. "No cure! This old man has only ever seen such a wicked cultivation art once in his life. Your yin and yang have been completely reversed. Your pulse is already that of women; I fear there is no power to change it. If this old man's deduction is correct, within at most half a month, you will become women completely."

For a moment, the two brothers looked ashen.

"You two are old hands of the martial world as well. How did you fall for something like this? The person who taught you this cultivation art is no simple figure!" Xue Divine Physician sighed.

That was right. Cultivation arts of unknown origin could not be practiced in the martial world. Practicing them could lead to disaster; some might even turn you into someone else's Great Medicine, to be harvested by them. This was a principle that every seasoned veteran of the martial world understood.

Hua Wen and Hua Wu had been the "Lingshui Twin Heroes" for so many years. What had they not seen? Yet they had still fallen into the trap, which surprised Xue Divine Physician somewhat.

At this moment, Hua Wen, who had remained silent all along, could not help beating his chest and stamping his feet. "The two of us were both fooled by that bastard! That Devil Duan has ruined us!"

By this point, the two had already determined that Duan Yun was no innocent and harmless Great Medicine, but an Old Devil playing dumb.

That Old Devil had disguised himself too well. Coupled with the temptation of the Jade Sword True Canon, he had actually caused these two veterans of the martial world to stumble and fall.

That was right. That Devil Duan must have prepared this long ago. Otherwise, would he have passed such divine arts to them so easily?

The more the brothers thought about it, the more convinced they became.

Looking at their lost birds and beards, Hua Wen and Hua Wu nearly burst into tears on the spot.

Before leaving, Hua Wu reminded him, "Xue Divine Physician, you must keep our matter confidential."

Xue Divine Physician said with a solemn expression, "Naturally. This matter is no small thing. Surely you can trust this mouth of mine, sealed tighter than a bottle."

Hua Wu and Hua Wen gave him suspicious looks, then left.

That night, Hua Wen and Hua Wu lay in bed, their eyes dull and lifeless.

The past few days had been like a nightmare. Even now, they still could not accept this reality.

How had they gone from being perfectly fine great heroes to becoming women?

With grief written all over his face, Hua Wu said, "Brother, what are we supposed to do from now on?"

"There is no road back! From this day onward, there will be no more Lingshui Twin Heroes in this world."

Hua Wen said this with an unfocused gaze.

"Then what are we?" Hua Wu asked.

"The Lingshui Heroines."

As he spoke, a clear tear slid down from the corner of Hua Wu's eye, sorrow flowing backward into a river.
