"Mm." Qiao Ranran poked her head out of Pei Ling's arms, his face dark as a storm. "Besides the irreversible damage to her Divine Sense that you said forcibly removing the Human-Faced Gu would cause, Venerable, Fellow Daoist Jiang had already fallen into a Heart Demon before this and showed signs of demonic corruption. I used acupuncture to settle her condition and have sealed off the Human-Faced Gu's movements. But I'm worried removing it will agitate her again. Please be careful, Venerable."
Venerable Muhua nodded. "I will."
"And damage to her Divine Soul can be treated. I have a recipe for Soul-Nourishing Pills. Once you've removed the Human-Faced Gu, we can discuss it in detail."
Venerable Muhua brightened at once and readily agreed. She even had a recipe for Soul-Nourishing Pills. Qiao Ranran truly was a treasure trove.
As for Qiao Ranran, her most pressing concern was soothing Pei Ling, who was already bristling. Once she had finished explaining, she dragged him out of the cramped cabin, crowded with people, and brushed past Xiang Rongxi at the door.
Pei Ling wore an expression that said he would not be coaxed out of his mood. Qiao Ranran wanted to laugh, but she had to hold it in. If she didn't, he might pinch her cheeks until they swelled.
"Junior Brother Pei, I have an idea. Want to hear it?"
Pei Ling glanced sidelong at her and said nothing.
"What if I transfer all the remaining Toxicity in your Sea of Consciousness into the Little Wooden Puppet?"
Author's note: Little Wooden Puppet: Well, well.
