Chapter 38 The Wild Boar King's Revenge

Spirit Beast Garden, Rental Area.

The disciple on duty yawned as he opened the door and went inside. A moment later, he welcomed his first guest.

"It's you again," the disciple said familiarly. "Are you renting the Crimson Hoof Spirit Beast again today?"

Lou Yuqing smiled and said, "Yes, rent it for one day."

"Alright." The disciple accepted a spirit stone as usual and handed her a jade slip, which she could use to rent the Crimson Hoof spirit beast.

To be honest, in all the time he'd been working here, this was the first time he'd seen people renting spirit pigs so frequently. In comparison, people generally preferred flying spirit beasts like cranes.

However, the Scarlet Hoof Beast is cheap.

Perhaps this junior sister is short of money.

The disciple pondered that this was probably the reason.

He never expected that Lou Yuqing was simply enjoying the pleasure of traveling by pig.

The "it smells so good" principle will never go out of style.

She used to scoff at this, but after trying it once: Hmm, it's really good.

Lou Yuqing rode her chubby, scarlet-hoofed spirit boar, and two hours passed in the blink of an eye. She watched as the disciples traveled using common goods, while she alone was a unique individual.

Ling Yunxiao is right, riding a pig is indeed very cool.

Moreover, the pig feels absolutely amazing to the touch.

Lou Yuqing touched the fair and tender body of the Scarlet Hoof Spirit Pig. It was bouncy, smooth, and very chewy... Ah, no.

"Junior sister, you've arrived." Si Nidie saw the girl riding a pig from afar and curiously approached. "This spirit beast looks so appetizing."

Crimson Hoof Spirit Pig: "...Aww!"

Everyone wants to eat it, is there no justice in this world?

The spirit pig gave them a reproachful look with its two black bean eyes, then snorted through its nose, turned its head arrogantly, and wiggled its buttocks as it did so.

Lou Yuqing reassured her, "Don't worry, I won't eat you, it was just a joke."

—Can it understand?

Si Nidie was surprised and said, "This spirit beast is really intelligent. Would you mind if I joined you? I'd like to try what it's like to ride a pig."

Crimson Hoof Spirit Pig: No way!

Unfortunately, Si Nidie wasn't asking about it; the initiative was with Lou Yuqing. Upon hearing this, she laughed heartily and said, "No problem, the pig's back is quite broad and sturdy; it can easily carry three to five people."

As soon as Si Nidie climbed onto the pig's back, she exclaimed, "Wow, it's so soft! Even more comfortable than the White Cloud Technique!" She couldn't help but pat the pig's rump and shout, "Giddy up!"

"..."

The Crimson Hoof Spirit Beast rolled its eyes, carrying them around, when it suddenly stopped, panting heavily, looking like it was about to faint.

Si Nidie panicked a little: "What's wrong?"

Lou Yuqing calmly said, "It's nothing, it'll be fine after a rest."

That's how it's always been, running for a while and then stopping.

Although Lou Yuqing doubted how it could travel a thousand miles a day, she thought about it again and realized that the Crimson Hoof Spirit Beast was kept in the Spirit Beast Garden and the disciples rarely rented it out, so it was possible that it lacked patience.

No one expected that Scarlet Hoof was quite pleased with itself. Before coming here, its companions had taught it the skills of catching fish, and it used them all. The two humans were so stupid that they didn't notice anything wrong.

Great, I wasted an hour.

The Crimson Hoof Spirit Pig happily twisted its body.

Seeing this, Si Nidie exclaimed, "It has regained its vitality!"

With a somersault, he landed on the pig's back.

Scarlet Hoof: "..." Time to get back to work.

The sun is setting.

Lou Yuqing had a wonderful day and reluctantly returned the Crimson Hoof Spirit Beast.

The Crimson Hoof Spirit Beast, no longer showing signs of fatigue, took off and dashed into the forest. "It's finally over. If this human comes again, I'll recommend him to the forest."

Oh, my bed, here I come!

Halfway there, a fellow creature charged straight at it from the opposite direction. One glance revealed, "Good heavens, it's my mortal enemy! What, you want to fight?"

Let's go then!

The Crimson Hoof Spirit Beast charged forward aggressively. Just as the two beasts were about to collide, their mortal enemy bypassed them and roared as it charged toward the humans behind them.

We're not playing anymore?

Okay, you coward.

The small-brained Crimson Hoof Spirit Beast abandoned its mortal enemy and continued running towards its lair. It had been running around with people all day and desperately needed to catch up on sleep.

"roar!"

Lou Yuqing watched the Crimson Hoof Spirit Beast leave and then walked towards the door. Unexpectedly, a low growl came from behind her, the voice full of anger. She turned her head and saw an unfamiliar Crimson Hoof Spirit Beast charging towards her.

No, perhaps it's not unfamiliar.

Seeing those grief-stricken, black bean-like eyes, Lou Yuqing thought of the spirit pig whose testicles had been cut off that day; it must be that pig.

While she was pondering, the spirit pig was only three zhang away from her.

"Junior sister, get out of the way!" Si Nidie said anxiously. She had just run to the pond next to the pond to herd ducks and was now seeing this scene. It was too late to help her.

Lou Yuqing's mind raced. She needed to hide, but the question was where to hide. This was an open area with no cover whatsoever.

If someone weighed several hundred pounds and hit her, her small frame would probably be ruined.

The Crimson Hoof Spirit Pig locked onto Lou Yuqing's figure. It was this human who had witnessed him losing his male dignity a few days ago, and dared to appear in front of it, the Mountain Pig King. This was intolerable!

In order to get revenge on her, it even forgot about its mortal enemy who had been vying with it for the title of Wild Boar King, and only wanted to teach this human a lesson.

Let her know that the joke about the Wild Boar King isn't so funny!

The Crimson Hoof Spirit Pig leaped into the air and unleashed its "Mount Tai Pressing Down" technique.

At the critical moment, Lou Yuqing felt a heat on her neck. She looked down and saw that the necklace on it emitted a white light, which then enveloped her entire body.

Oh, right, she has her master's protective magic weapon.

"Awoo!"

The spirit pig cried out in pain and collapsed to the ground.

She actually deflected its attack!

As the mighty king of wild boars, it suffered a setback in its first battle. Doesn't it have any pride?

"Junior sister, how are you?" Si Nidie thought she was fine, but when she got closer, she found her face was unusually pale and asked with concern.

Lou Yuqing gasped, as if she were enduring unspeakable pain.

Si Nidie immediately became anxious: "Could it be that your lungs or internal organs have been injured? This is no small injury."

She glared at the spirit pig: "This guy dares to hurt people, he can't be allowed to live. I'll report to Captain Wei right now and have him convict him. We'll slaughter this spirit pig and give it to you as a snack!"

Spirit Pig: ? ? ?

Damn it, it's the one that got hurt!

It didn't even touch a single hair on that woman's head.

This is blatant extortion, and the Wild Boar King won't accept it!

Lou Yuqing stopped Si Nidie from stabbing him, and said through gritted teeth, "Senior sister, I'm fine. I just twisted my ankle because I was nervous."

Her reaction was understandable given that she was facing a behemoth that could crush her into a meat patty.

Si Nidie breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. I'll help you to the clinic to see a doctor. You might have injured your bones or muscles, so we should be careful."

Si Nidie had some medicine for sprains and bruises in her storage bag, but she wasn't sure about her junior sister's injuries, so she decided to make a trip to the clinic instead.

"Mmm." Lou Yuqing nodded obediently.

She glanced back, but the cunning spirit pig had vanished without a trace. She thought to herself, "It got away quickly. I'll settle the score with it another day."

Just as she was about to look away, she saw the girl with the red birthmark on her face walking down the road carrying a bucket of water, her long hair hanging down to both sides, covering her face.

"You know him?"

Si Nidie pulled Lou Yuqing up onto the white cloud. Seeing that Lou Yuqing was engrossed in watching, she casually asked a question.

Lou Yuqing shook her head: "I don't know her. I met her once by chance before. A friend of mine said she has no spiritual power. Senior sister, does our sect accept disciples without spiritual roots?"

"Won't."

After denying it, Si Nidie pondered and said, "I have never had any contact with her, but her reputation in the sect used to be very high. Everyone knew her. Then something happened that made her depressed, and I never heard her story again."

Lou Yuqing's mind raced: "Senior Sister, are you referring to the birthmark on her face?"

She originally thought the other person was ashamed because of a birthmark, so they dared not interact with people and could not even look them in the eye. She never imagined that the other person could be so spirited.

Comparing the two, it's impossible to find a match.

"That's not quite right. What hit her the hardest was that her cultivation suddenly vanished overnight, and no matter how she cultivated, her spiritual power showed no signs of increasing. It was like a leaky jar; no matter how much water went in, it would all leak out completely," Si Nidie said regretfully.

Lou Yuqing frowned: "Don't you know the reason?"

“If we had known, we would have solved it long ago. She is exceptionally talented and was discovered by an outer sect elder. He brought her back to the sect for cultivation. The sect took this matter very seriously, and it even alarmed the Medical Sage. Unfortunately, they couldn’t find the cause no matter what they tried,” Si Nidie said, spreading her hands.

The cultivation world is teeming with intractable diseases, many of which are incurable. Sometimes even the Sage of Medicine is helpless, as he is not omnipotent.

Medical Hall.

Shi Xiuxiu was helping out in the back room, appearing gentle and serene, but her eyes revealed a resolute determination.

Since being enlightened, she has undergone a complete transformation. If any acquaintance saw her, they probably wouldn't believe it was Shi Xiuxiu herself.

Just then, the apprentice doctor relayed a message: "Xiuxiu, someone is seeing patients. Doctor Qin wants you to go to the front and observe."

Shi Xiuxiu replied, "Okay."

She quickly finished processing the medicinal herbs in her hands, washed her hands, and jogged to the main hall of the clinic.

"Master, you called me." Shi Xiuxiu called out to Doctor Qin.

Dr. Qin looked up at her and said gently, "Yesterday I taught you how to recover from a sprain. You're a smart girl, you should know what I'm talking about. Today a patient came in, why don't you go and try it out?"

He was satisfied with his new apprentice. She was thoughtful, meticulous, and a promising young doctor. Given time, she would surely be able to inherit his mantle.

Not just watching, but personally treating the patient?

Shi Xiuxiu was a little nervous, but also a little excited: "Master, can I really do it?"

Knowing that she needed recognition most at this moment, Dr. Qin nodded without hesitation: "Of course you can. You are my disciple. There's nothing you can't do. Your master will back you up. Go ahead and do it."

Shi Xiuxiu felt relieved and said confidently, "This disciple will certainly not let you down."

Master said that sprains are not difficult to treat. Just do this and that, and it will be fine.

Shi Xiuxiu reviewed the process, her confidence gradually growing: "Master, where is the patient?"

Doctor Qin pointed in the direction.

Shi Xiuxiu took a deep breath, turned her head and smiled as she looked over. When she saw the patient's face, she was stunned—it was her—the savior who had awakened her.
