Chapter 46 - The Protagonist's Third Breast
This injury could not be called in any way a minor wound, and on top, it was sprinkled with salt and \'disinfected\' by Pei Lianxue to vent her personal grudges.
Although salt did disinfect her wound and avoided the risk of infection, the result was that her swollen left shoulder was now bigger than her breasts.
So, that night, Lei Wanjun gave her by default a score of ninety points on the physical test and then asked the inner disciples to take her back to Heavenly Cloud Peak to recuperate.
After two sisters of the Black Star Sect helped to re-bandage and apply medicine, the swelling in her shoulder was reduced. It was now about the size of her breasts. That made her look as if she had three boobs that had grown crooked.
The two sisters instructed her to rest properly, but Feng Yu Die wasn\'t very eager to follow the doctor\'s advice and lay obediently on the bed to recuperate.
After they left, Feng Yu Die rested for a while, then got out of bed and went to the small bamboo grove outside the courtyard. There, using the bamboo stems, she started honing her sword technique, disregarding the wound on her shoulder.
At first, Xiao Tian tried to persuade her to go back to bed and lie down, but she ignored her, so she stopped advising her.
Anyway, with the blood of the Holy Emperor, even broken limbs could grow back, so this small injury was not too much.
The wind of the sword gusted in the bamboo forest.
The leaves and soil seemed to be sentient, following Feng Yu Die\'s sword dance, serving as a companion and swirling around her.
The last silvery ring spread out around her, and within twenty feet of her body, all the bamboo seedlings were cut off in an instant.
Sweat dripped on the gauze on her left shoulder. Although the wound hurt, she still did not stop. Gritting her teeth, she persisted until she completed the sword routine.
Xiao Tian watched her practicing so seriously with a weird expression.
"Yu Die, have you lost your marbles?"
Feng Yu Die looked at him strangely and asked, "What\'s wrong?"
"What\'s wrong? In the past, you hardly ever practiced of your own volition. I had to urge you every time. Why are you practicing so seriously this time?"
"It\'s just that..." Feng Yu Die pursed her lips and said awkwardly, "That group of people last night... I almost failed to protect Sister Pei. I reviewed yesterday\'s fight. If it weren\'t for her, I might not have been able to defeat those people by myself. If I hadn\'t deliberately allowed myself to be struck by the fourth man\'s sword to let that person expose a flaw, perhaps the girls and I would have been finished off by those four.
And then, there\'s that spell knot. At that time, I was going to look for it starting from the southwest to the northeast, and if it weren\'t for Sister Pei who saw that the main knot of the formation was in the north, we wouldn\'t be able to break that formation at all."
Hearing this, Xiao Tian nodded in understanding. Apparently, she had suffered a psychological blow?
With a doting smile, she came forward and patted Feng Yu Die\'s head, comforting her. "Oh, you also have a day when you are not confident? Ever since you were a child, I rarely saw you being so affected, hehe."
Feng Yu Die suddenly blushed, then huffing and puffing, she waved her hand to chase Xiao Tian.
"Go away!"
Seeing Feng Yu Die\'s embarrassment, Xiao Tian wanted to laugh.
But honestly, she also didn\'t understand how that Pei girl could know that the position of the main knot was in the north.
The knots of the "Big Dipper Suffocating Spirit" spell could be set up wherever the caster wanted. No matter how experienced a cultivator was, they would never be able to see where the knots of the spell were.
But at that time, that Pei girl said categorically that it was in the north, and she was also muttering something like "one short and one long, two short and one long."
Did someone send her a coded message?
But how? And who sent it?
Xiao Tian thought for a while, and somehow Ye Anping came to her mind, but she only said, "When Miss Pei comes back, you can ask her about it."
Feng Yu Die let out a long breath, then raised the sword again, wanting to continue training.
Seeing that the wound on her shoulder was starting to ooze blood again, Xiao Tian hastily advised her. "Come on, stop practicing. There\'s no rush, you can practice later. Go to your room and lie down. Doesn\'t it hurt?"
"It doesn\'t!"
\'\'You, a Qi Refining stage cultivator, killed one early and one mid-stage Foundation Building cultivators, repelled a late-stage Foundation Building cultivator, and you still think it\'s not enough. An average cultivator would be considered lucky to survive.\'\'
"But I\'m not an average cultivator with mediocre qualifications." Feng Yu Die bristled and complained, "Didn\'t you and Master say that I have the \'Mandate of Heaven\'?"
"Even if you have the \'Mandate of Heaven\', you are still a human being." With a helpless look, Xiao Tian floated over and patted her head. "Yu Die, take it easy. You don\'t have to be the best at everything. Previously..."
Feng Yu Die seemed to find Xiao Tian\'s words annoying, so she interrupted. "Stop, stop, stop. I\'m not discouraged. I just really want to vent now."
"Vent about what?"
"Letting those two get away."
Xiao Tian sighed, recalling the late-stage Foundation Building cultivator from earlier, and said, \'\'Yu Die, do you want to hear the truth?\'\'
"Tell me."
"That late-stage Foundation Building cultivator, not to mention the fact that he was a whole level higher than you and Miss Pei, was also a Dharma cultivator. None of you had your flying swords back then, so if he wanted to get serious, you wouldn\'t be able to deal with him.\'\'
"..."
\'\'That man probably chose not to confront you because he was concerned about the safety of the other Qi Refining stage cultivator. You actually have to thank that Qi Refining cultivator. If he weren\'t there, the three of you would have been seriously injured."
"That\'s even more upsetting, it\'s like being controlled by someone else..." Feng Yu Die grumbled with her cheeks puffed up, then swung the sword forcefully. "When we meet again, they won\'t be able to escape me!"
Seeing that Feng Yu Die began to train seriously again, Xiao Tian felt both distressed and relieved. She finally stopped saying anything and floated to the sky to doze off.
After a while, a flying sword suddenly appeared over the peak.
Bai Yuexin made a special trip to convey Ye Anping\'s message.
She jumped off the flying sword, frowned, and shouted. "Feng Yu Die!"
"Ah?!" Feng Yu Die turned her head to look, and seeing it was a senior sister, she thought she was here to scold her for not recuperating well and training with the sword instead. So, she hastily put her sword behind her back and said, "I\'m going back to recuperate now, I\'m going back now..."
"What?"
"Eh? Sister, aren\'t you here to scold me for not properly recuperating from my injuries?"
Looking at Feng Yu Die\'s expression, Bai Yuexin pursed her lips and raised an eyebrow as she asked, "...You don\'t remember me?"
"Huh?" Feng Yu Die was stunned for a moment, carefully observing Bai Yuexin\'s face, then shook her head slightly. "Sister, have we met before?"
"..."
Seeing that she really didn\'t recognize who she was, Bai Yuexin felt angry, helpless, and sad...
She took a deep breath and said, "I\'m here to help my... my brother to pass a message to you."
"Your... brother?"
"Well, he wants to invite you to dinner, so he asks you to meet him."
"?" A question mark appeared over Feng Yu Die\'s head. "Sister, who is your brother?"
"You don\'t know him." Bai Yuexin\'s complexion didn\'t look too good, and she asked directly. "Are you going?"
Feng Yu Die was dumbfounded. What was this?
Why did the brother of a senior sister appear out of nowhere, wanting to invite her to dinner?
Xiao Tian was also confused, but after thinking for a while, he suggested, "Yu Die, say yes and you can have a free meal. Don\'t you like free meals the most?"
Feng Yu Die glanced at him. If the girl invited her, she would definitely go, but the brother... So, she replied politely. "Thank your brother on my behalf for his kindness, but I decline..."
"Then, I\'ll tell him you\'re not coming."
Without waiting for Feng Yu Die to finish, Bai Yue Xin stepped on her flying sword and left.
After watching her leave, Feng Yu Die felt somewhat baffled but didn\'t think much about it and continued to train hard.
However, about half an hour later, Bai Yuexin returned on her flying sword.
"Feng Yu Die! My brother said he\'ll treat you to roast chicken."
"!" An exclamation mark appeared over Feng Yu Die\'s head. "How did your brother know that I like roast chicken?!"
"Also... he asked me to tell you that he is the young master of the Hundred Lotus Sect."
"!!" Another exclamation mark appeared above Feng Yu Die\'s head and the next moment they turned into two question marks. "??"
Hearing that it was Ye Anping, Xiao Tian\'s eyes instantly lit up. He was quite fond of this boy and had always felt that he might be able to correct Feng Yu Die\'s bad habit of liking women.
"Yu Die, quickly, say yes. Isn\'t roast chicken your favorite food?"
"Well then, forget it." Bai Yuexin waved and jumped onto the flying sword, ready to leave.
Feng Yu Die hurriedly stopped her and said, "Wait! I\'m coming!!"
Bai Yuexin puffed her cheeks in dissatisfaction when she heard this, thinking that she didn\'t leave fast enough. She turned to look at her, sighed helplessly, and said, "Follow me, can you fly by yourself?"
"Ah, yes."
