Chapter 345: Who Allowed You to Be So Cute?
In the early morning, a slightly cool breeze from the mountain passed through and rustled the curtains of the bamboo house at the mountain top.
As the window screen shook, it made a soft rustling sound.
The girl sitting cross-legged in the bamboo house hurriedly opened her eyes and exclaimed, "Madame Green Bamboo!"
However, when the little fox demon stood up, she realized that there was nothing in front of her - Madame Green Bamboo hadn't returned, it was just the wind rustling the window screen.
In the empty room, the little fox demon gazed stupefied at the misty morning fog in the mountains beyond the balcony, let out a melancholic sigh.
"Why hasn't Madame Green Bamboo returned yet…," she wondered aloud.
The little fox demon's face was filled with a worried and distressed expression.
Three days ago, she had a terrifying nightmare in which Madame Green Bamboo crawled on the ground, covered in blood, while above her the sky was filled with lightning and thunder, and countless wizards were roaring in anger, determined to exterminate the evil demons.
Even though three days had passed since that terrifying image and she knew it was just a nightmare, the little fox demon couldn't help but feel scared every time she thought about it.
Madame Green Bamboo said that this time would be her final journey out of the mountains, and after helping the cave master obtain the dragon soul, she would return. After that, the two of them would go far away from the Fire Pass Country and find a place where they could live in complete seclusion without anyone disturbing them.
They would never again be involved in the struggle between good and evil in this world.
However, for some reason, ever since Madame Green Bamboo left the Green Bamboo Cottage, an unshakable worry had been plaguing her.
And this inexplicable anxiety and fear reached its peak three days ago…
Madame Green Bamboo said that cultivators all experience a connection between heaven and man, and we should trust our own intuition.
But this time, Su Xiaoxiao hoped that she was just being overly anxious and paranoid, rather than something truly happening to Madame Green Bamboo…
In the room, the little fox had a bitter and sorrowful expression on her face.
She really wanted to go down the mountain and inquire about the situation, but now that the situation in the Fire Pass Country was chaotic, she would be extremely vulnerable outside of the Green Bamboo Cottage, when even her heaven door had not been opened.
Any passing evil demon could easily catch her and eat her.
She could only sit alone in the Green Bamboo Cottage, silently waiting for Madame Green Bamboo to return…
"Bang".
A strange muffled sound suddenly came from outside the Green Bamboo Cottage.
The sound was very faint, but the little fox's pointed fox ears suddenly stood up and she jumped up entirely.
With the sudden surge of indescribable emotions, the little girl rushed out of the door anxiously.
Under the morning sun, what appeared before her was a woman lying unconscious on the ground.
The familiar clothing and the friendly face…
"Madame Green Bamboo!!!"
Su Xiaoxiao was both surprised and happy. She hurried over and hugged the unconscious Madame Green Bamboo, anxiously saying, "Madame Green Bamboo, please wake up! It's Xiaoxiao, it's Xiaoxiao!"
However, the call of the little fox demon was unable to awaken the unconscious Madame Green Bamboo.
Under the bright sunshine, Madame Green Bamboo's complexion was pale like a dead person, and her body was so cold that it felt like ice.
The little fox demon had only been hugging her for over ten breaths, but she became so cold that her whole body was trembling and even the cultivator's body could not resist this strange coldness.
Her complexion became even more anxious and fearful, tightly gripping her heart and making her breath quicken.
"Madame Green Bamboo! Please wake up! Wake up quickly!"
Under the sunshine, the little fox demon cried and shook Madame Green Bamboo in her arms in despair.
However, Madame Green Bamboo who had raised her and loved her like a mother, completely stopped responding, even her breath gradually weakened.
The breath that belonged to the living was fading away inside Madame Green Bamboo's body.
The twilight breath of the deceased gradually emerged.
The little fox's cry became increasingly desperate.
"Who will come and save… who will come and save Madame Green Bamboo! Who will come and save Madame Green Bamboo!"
However, the Green Bamboo Cottage was located in a remote area, far away from the worldly bustle, and it was simply impossible for anyone to come.
Even if the little fox spirit's cry was more heartfelt, it was impossible for anyone to come and save her.
--Normally, it is like this.
A gentle breeze brushed by, and outside the gate of Green Bamboo Cottage, a silent figure appeared.
That Wu Gu, who had disappeared for several years since parting ways in the South Sea, reappeared before the fox demon Su Xiaoxiao.
Facing the bewildered eyes of the little fox spirit, Wu Gu sighed and said, "Madame Green Bamboo has been struck by one of the Fire Pass Country's divine and extreme skills, the Yanluo Palm. The meridians all over her body have been shattered, and her soul has suffered injury. It's already a miracle that she managed to escape and make it here alive."
"For ordinary people, this is an irreparable injury,"
"Of course, to me, although the injury is terrible, as long as the person is still breathing, I as one of the ten witches of Spirit Mountain can save them."
Despite the little fox's expression of immense joy, Wu Gu shook her head and said, "However, the rule of the ten witches of Spirit Mountain is not to save wicked demons. If I were to save your Madame Green Bamboo, I would suffer the pain of the blood oath. It could mean my soul scattering, or worse, being tortured before having my soul dispersed."
"So it's impossible for me to help your Madame Green Bamboo."
Wu Gu's words made the smile on the little fox spirit's face freeze.
The hope that the little girl had just lit up was instantly extinguished.
But immediately after, Wu Gu said, "Although I can't save her myself, you can… you're not one of the ten witches of Spirit Mountain. If you learn my medical skills, saving Madame Green Bamboo will be as easy as turning over your hand."
Wu Gu's words made the little fox tremble and bow her head in regret.
If only I had known… if only I had learned medicine back then…
The little fox's despair and regret were written all over her face. Wu Gu smiled and said, "How about it? Do you regret leaving now? Heh… little girl, you finally know what regret feels like, don't you?"
"If it were someone else, if you dared to abandon me and leave, you can forget about ever seeing a good expression on my face again."
"But who made you such a likable little girl… hmm, now I will give you one last chance."
"If you are willing to become my disciple and carry on my legacy, I will teach you the wonderful medical skills of healing all beings. I guarantee that you will be able to save even the life of your Madame Green Bamboo."
"How about it? Are you willing to become my disciple now?"
Wu Gu's words left the little fox demon looking bewildered. "But… even if I were to learn medicine from you now, it's already too late to save Madame Green Bamboo."
Wu Gu glared at her and scolded, "Who do you think you're looking down on? As long as you are willing to bow and become my disciple, I will immediately teach you how to refine medicine on the spot and guarantee that Madame Green Bamboo's life can be extended."
After Wu Gu finished speaking, a grotesque bird with a human face flew out and landed nearby, screeching in a shrill voice.
"Don't believe this old woman, she's just bragging."
"Madame Green Bamboo is beyond saving. Letting her die peacefully now can spare her any further pain."
"If you believe this old woman and forcibly extend her life, even if she is saved, she will undoubtedly become a disabled person with shattered tendons and bones and depleted cultivation."
"A Demon Woman at the level of Innate Realm, if turned into a waste, what's the point of living? It's better to die!"
