Chapter 202: I Don’t Want to See Him at All

Myriad Laws World, Medicine King Valley.

As the highest Holy Land for Medical Cultivators, Medicine King Valley covers a vast area, even larger than the Ten Thousand Demon Sect by a significant margin.

Medicine King Valley is located in the Lingshan Mountains, where the spiritual energy of Qianye Continent is most abundant; with misty white fog and spirit deer leaping across streams, it is like a fairyland.

Medicine King Valley is divided into different areas such as “Spirit Beast Mountain,” “Spiritual Plant Garden,” “Hundred Flower Garden,” and “Medicinal Spring,” all with clear divisions.

Each area is managed by specialized Medical Cultivators.

Medical Cultivators increase their cultivation by improving their medical skills, and researching medical skills requires dedicated study.

Even when treating illnesses, after the patient arrives, they perform the four diagnostic methods—observation, listening, inquiry, and pulse-taking—and then begin treatment; they won’t chat with you about other matters.

Therefore, in Medicine King Valley, from the Sect Master down to the introductory Disciples, they are basically all homebodies.

They are not good at communication and socializing.

They haven’t even finished their own research, so where would they find time to chat with you?

However, it doesn’t matter; the Cultivators of Medicine King Valley don’t care about exchanges between Sects anyway.

Medicine King Valley is very similar to Tianji City.

Although Medicine King Valley is not as wealthy as Tianji City (most of the earned Spirit Stones are used to cultivate Spirit Beasts and Spirit Medicines), it is definitely not poor.

If one were to ask which Sect among the Myriad Laws World has the most immortal-grade Spiritual Plants and herbs, it would certainly be Medicine King Valley.

Medicine King Valley even raises many pure-blooded ancient exotic beasts.

These exotic beasts are all priceless treasures!

The problem is, in the tens of thousands of years Medicine King Valley has existed, there truly hasn’t been a single incident of Spirit Medicine or Spirit Beast disappearance.

Medicine King Valley doesn’t need to worry about anyone coveting the treasures in the valley and launching an attack.

It can’t be helped; as a neutral Sect, Medicine King Valley truly caters to both the righteous and demonic paths. After all, while Cultivators don’t get sick, they often get injured.

Minor bumps and bruises can be ignored, as Cultivators can heal themselves.

For slightly more serious sword wounds or gashes, Medical Cultivators from other Sects can handle them as well.

But once it’s a fatal wound or a great dao injury, Medicine King Valley is definitely the first choice.

Medicine King Valley even has psychological doctors who focus on the aspect of Heart Demons.

If you are severely disturbed by Heart Demons, you must also seek out Medicine King Valley.

Moreover, the psychologists in Medicine King Valley are all young and beautiful long-legged sisters, gentle and understanding, and very popular.

In addition, there are various difficult and complicated diseases, such as the sickly Physique of Sikong Wangxing from Tianji City, leaking sword bones, or the cold poison brought by the Yin-cold body of the Lesser Minister of Fate from the Yin-Yang School.

If Medicine King Valley cannot cure these, then truly no one in the Myriad Laws World would dare to take them on.

Furthermore, Medicine King Valley has saved countless people over the years, accumulating an unknown amount of favors and connections. Finally, the Cultivators of Medicine King Valley are not pushovers; a random bit of poison could leave someone unable to recover.

So Medicine King Valley has undergone several transitions, and even after the Demon Calamity ten thousand years ago, Medicine King Valley remains as stable as ever.

As for the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley, Must Not Die, he has even more personality.

When the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley acts to save someone, he first looks for fate, and then sees your current state.

Normally, if you aren’t on the verge of death, Must Not Die will not act to save you.

Of course, if Must Not Die finds you unpleasant, even if you die, he won’t save you.

So in the Cultivation World, many people don’t dare to provoke this Old Man.

But once Must Not Die acts, so far, in several thousand years, there hasn’t been anyone he couldn’t save.

So when the Demon Son Lin Xun went to kick down the doors of various major Sects, the Sect Master and Elders of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect repeatedly pleaded with Lin Xun not to go to Medicine King Valley!

They weren’t worried about something happening to Lin Xun; on the contrary, the Elders of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect were worried that Lin Xun would tear through Medicine King Valley. If anything happened to the Ten Thousand Demon Sect in the future, Medicine King Valley would not only refuse to help but also kick them while they were down—what would they do then?

After all, Medicine King Valley’s business doesn’t distinguish between factions or Sects; in their eyes, there are only patients.

Moreover, some Elders of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect had been treated by Medicine King Valley; this favor had to be repaid one way or another.

As for the Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect, he was more worried that Lin Xun would offend Medicine King Valley.

If something happened to Lin Xun in the future and he needed Must Not Die to act, would Must Not Die even give him the time of day?

Although the Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect believed his Disciple was invincible under heaven, the last invincible person was already sacrificed to the heavens in the war between humans and demons ten thousand years ago.

In fact, they were really overthinking it because Lin Xun truly never thought about looking for trouble with Medicine King Valley.

In Lin Xun’s eyes, Medicine King Valley, like Tianji City, belonged to those who dominated a professional field; they were special, not known for martial prowess, and were only average at fighting, so there was no point in going there.

Speaking of Must Not Die, most people in the Myriad Laws World only knew that the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley had an eccentric temper.

But only the Disciples of Medicine King Valley knew that over ten years ago, the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley, Must Not Die, gained a new attribute.

That is, being a granddaughter-con.

“Grandpa, you promised me, I want to go to Luo City.”

On a main peak in the center of Medicine King Valley, a young girl with a small gourd at her waist pouted, grabbing her grandfather’s arm and shaking it incessantly.

“Linger.”

Must Not Die said earnestly.

“It’s not that Grandpa won’t let you go out. You know from the Secret Realm that Sikong Wangxing’s illness from Tianji City will flare up again when she turns eighteen.

Grandpa’s pill refining is at a critical moment; I really can’t get away.

Next time, next time Grandpa will accompany you to Luo City to play.”

“Grandpa can just refine pills at home; Zhu Ling can go by herself.” Zhu Ling pouted.

“Absolutely not!”

Must Not Die immediately refused.

Since returning from the Heiwu Secret Realm, Must Not Die had learned everything that happened in the Secret Realm from his granddaughter’s mouth.

It was lucky that Lin Xun wasn’t lustful, or rather, he was somewhat of a man and didn’t lay a hand on his precious granddaughter.

Otherwise, if his granddaughter came back with a big belly, his mental state would surely collapse.

However, although his granddaughter was still pure, Must Not Die always felt something was wrong.

Whenever Lin Xun was mentioned, although this little girl would always say angrily, “That Big Bad Guy only knows how to bully me”…

…as someone who had been through it, how could the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley not see that this little girl didn’t hate Lin Xun’s bullying at all?

Fortunately, his granddaughter didn’t even know what “liking” was; her heart hadn’t been moved yet.

Otherwise, if his granddaughter fell in love with a devil, he wouldn’t be able to face her deceased parents.

“No, no! I have to quickly repay this favor to Lin Xun, or I’ll never feel at ease,” Must Not Die thought to himself.

In the Heiwu Secret Realm this time, although he didn’t know the reason why Lin Xun let Linger save Sikong Wangxing or even protected Linger…

…regardless, that Linger could walk out of the Heiwu Secret Realm safely, Lin Xun’s protection was crucial; this favor had to be repaid.

“But he can forget about touching my granddaughter!”

“Besides that Lin Xun, I must also be wary of other men.”

“His granddaughter never left the house and grew up in the greenhouse of Medicine King Valley; even if Lin Xun didn’t get his way, if she met some silver-tongued scoundrels, wouldn’t Linger still be in great danger?”

This isn’t to say Must Not Die truly wouldn’t let his granddaughter marry.

It’s normal for girls to marry; even Cultivators think about finding a Dao Companion.

But the prerequisite is that I have to vet them properly!

Otherwise, given his granddaughter’s personality, even if she were bullied by the other party, she would only wipe away her tears in secret and would never let anyone know, let alone speak ill of them.

“If Linger is to marry, she can only marry an honest man who can protect her and treat her well with all his heart!”

“Linger, listen to Grandpa.” Must Not Die looked at his granddaughter helplessly. “Actually, Grandpa has been to Luo City in the Qian Kingdom; the scenery is just so-so.”

“I don’t care, I don’t care, Linger wants to go out. Linger already promised Sister Sikong and Sister Nongqin that Linger would go to Luo City to see the snow.” Zhu Ling used her acting-spoiled skill.

“You… you silly child, why are you so stubborn?”

Must Not Die’s heart was very complicated.

But for his precious granddaughter, he couldn’t hit or scold her; holding her in his palm, he was even afraid she would find his hands too rough.

“Grandpa doesn’t keep his word.” Zhu Ling’s big eyes began to fill with mist. “Grandpa said so, you said you’d let Linger go out to play!”

Zhu Ling used the skill “Crying”.

“Little one, don’t, don’t cry…”

“I will cry! Grandpa is bullying Linger.”

“Little one.”

Seeing his granddaughter squatting on the ground holding her knees, with large tears seemingly about to slide down her cheeks, Must Not Die was heartbroken.

“Sob, sob, sob… Zhu Ling is going to hate Grandpa…”

Burying her head between her thighs, the girl’s shoulders twitched slightly, and the sound of sobbing could be faintly heard.

“‘Zhu Ling is going to hate Grandpa… hate Grandpa… Grandpa… pa…'”

Zhu Ling’s words echoed continuously in Must Not Die’s mind; his whole world lost its color, turning into a shade of gray.

“Linger, Grandpa… Grandpa was wrong…” The Old Man squatted down and gently patted his granddaughter’s back.

After a long time, Must Not Die sighed: “Grandpa will let you go, I’ll let you go, alright?”

“Really?” Zhu Ling looked at her grandfather with teary eyes.

“Really!” The Old Man nodded heavily.

“Yay! Linger knew Grandpa loves Linger the most; Grandpa is the best.”

Zhu Ling happily hugged her grandfather and then turned to run away.

“Grandpa, then Linger is setting off; Grandpa, take good care of yourself.”

“You little rascal.” Seeing his granddaughter hopping away like a white rabbit, Must Not Die was both happy and annoyed. “You’re not going alone; your Senior Sister is coming too.”

The Old Man’s voice drifted slowly through the mountain forest, but he didn’t hear a response from his granddaughter for a long time, so he didn’t know if she heard it or not.

But regardless, going to Luo City to play for a few days to let the little girl have her fun, accompanied by her Senior Sister, there shouldn’t be any problems.

Others know Zhu Ling is the Medicine King Valley Saintess; unless they’ve lost their minds, they wouldn’t dare touch a single hair on her head.

Of course, that Lin Xun might be an exception.

But that Lin Xun is probably still recovering from his injuries somewhere.

“If Linger could actually meet that guy in Luo City again, then I’ll eat a whole mountain!”

But…

Must Not Die frowned.

That’s what I say.

Why do I always feel like something is wrong?

After getting her grandfather’s permission, Zhu Ling happily returned to her courtyard to pack her things.

“Anti-Wolf Spray”

“Anti-Wolf Half-Step-Stagger”

“Anti-Wolf Mosquito Coil”

“Anti-Wolf Bomb”

After being bullied by Lin Xun in the Heiwu Secret Realm last time, Zhu Ling stuffed various anti-wolf items into her Storage Pouch.

Looking at her bulging Storage Pouch, Zhu Ling snorted and put her hands on her hips:

“Big Bad Guy, don’t let this lady see you again! Otherwise, this lady will definitely show you what’s what!”

“But…” Looking at her stuffed Storage Pouch again, Zhu Ling picked up the Anti-Wolf Spray and muttered to herself, “If I spray this on the Big Bad Guy’s face, will it hurt him a lot?”

Then she picked up the Anti-Wolf Half-Step-Stagger: “Grandpa said if you eat one pill, you’ll laugh non-stop. What if the Big Bad Guy laughs to death?”

Finally, she picked up the Anti-Wolf Bomb: “This bomb can destroy a mountain peak and release toxic gas. What if the Big Bad Guy gets seriously injured?”

Thinking about it, Zhu Ling took out all the anti-wolf items she had finally put in.

In the end, the girl sat on her bed, looking at the various anti-wolf props scattered on her fragrant bed and then at her empty Storage Pouch. She pressed her legs together and pouted angrily:

“Hmph… Big Bad Guy! I’ll let you off this time! If you bully me again next time, I’ll really… really be hard on you!”

Just as the girl’s words fell, as if realizing something, Zhu Ling lowered her head again, her small hands on her shapely thighs, gently tugging at the small string of her Storage Pouch.

“Next time… will I really meet that Big Bad Guy again?”

Lowering her eyes, the girl gently pulled out the necklace at her chest.

This was the necklace Lin Xun had forced Zhu Ling to wear.

Cradling the necklace in her palm, it carried the girl’s warmth.

Unconsciously, scenes related to that Big Bad Guy in the Heiwu Secret Realm popped up playfully in the girl’s mind like mischievous children.

Finally, when the girl recalled her Heart Demon dream, she touched her flat and smooth belly, her cheeks turning rosy.

“I won’t give birth to children for you! Big Bad Guy!”

After scolding the crystal necklace softly, the girl quickly shook off her strange thoughts and put the necklace back inside her collar, keeping it close to her body.

But for some reason, gently pressing the necklace against her chest, the girl couldn’t help but think.

If she really encountered danger, would this necklace summon that Big Bad Guy to her side?

Just like how the Big Bad Guy saved Sister Nongqin back then.

“No! I don’t want to see him! If he appears in front of me, he’ll definitely knock me on the head!”

Zhu Ling Pounce on the bed，Her little face was buried in the soft pillow.。

After a long time, the girl looked up slightly, with only her eyes blinking and exposed, her soft voice coming muffled from the pillow.

“I don’t want to see him at all… I really don’t…”
