Chapter 08: Old Injured

Can also mean “always getting injured”

After the monster flung Li Xinmei up, it didn’t stop running and directly rammed the mountain wall.

Su Tingyun’s eyes turned red. Without thinking she directly grabbed the monster’s tail and used all the strength in her body to pull it back. When the monster fiercely turned back she had already climbed agilely onto the monster’s back. This wasn’t her idea rather a bodily instinct, the former Old Madam Wei was a vicious person in her earlier years. Due to the turmoil and chaos of war, food was scarce, so to raise her two children she went deep into the forests to hunt. It’s said she even hunted tigers and wrestled bears with amazing skill.

At this time, Su Tingyun didn’t even think and directly climbed onto the monster’s back. With both eyes burning red, she smashed a heavy fist onto the devil face design on the monster’s back. In the end that led the monster to let out a devastating roar and roughly shake its head, causing Li Xinmei who was skewered on the beast’s fangs to fall out heavily. Soon after, it turned its head to attack Su Tingyun, however Su Tingyun’s actions were surprisingly agile. Her concentration was also especially keen, she was able to avoid the frequent head shots while at the same time not forgetting to deliver blow after blow with her fists onto the devil face design on its back, until that area became a bloody smashed mess, the original design no longer visible.

The monster’s struggles got weaker and weaker, until at last it uttered an unwilling cry before falling to the ground with a boom(must be a heavy beast…wonder how many elephants it’ll take to drag it away). Only at this time did Su Tingyun get up and walk to the side. Lifting up a boulder, she heavily smashed it onto the monster’s head. After doing all this, her body was exhausted. Sweat completely drenched her clothes, making her seem as if she had been just pulled out of water.

Su Tingyun’s footsteps staggered as she stumbled to Li Xinmei’s side, only to see that her body was pierced through with a bloody coin-sized hole. The fresh blood dyed the clothes completely red, her breathing was extremely weak

The night wind causing the tree leaves to rustle, Su Tingyun’s heart was also chilled thoroughly along with it.

“Xiao Mei…”

“Mei jiejie(older sister)……” The monster was dead, so naturally there wasn’t anymore spiritual pressure. By now Zhang Zhizi could also move again. He ran lightning fast over to the two people’s sides, his eyes wrapped in tears. Big drops of tears one after another fell, dropping onto Li Xinmei’s face

Only now did Su Tingyun respond. She didn’t know much about the Cultivation World. In her world, this kind of wound would probably be fatal, but this is the xianxia world ah! Anything like death-resurrection is possible, maybe it can still be treated. Isn’t it said spirit stones and absorbing spirit energy can heal? Should she carve out that monster’s spirit crystal for Xiao Mei to absorb?

“Can she be saved?” She turned to Zhang Zhizi and asked anxiously.

“With a mid-rank Recovery Pill she can probably be saved, or at least she would still be able to cling onto life.” Zhang Zhizi also hurriedly said: “Let’s go dig that spirit crystal out and rush to Wuliang Mountain to trade. They definitely have Recovery Pills!” Having spoken to here, Zhang Zhizi immediately ran over to the dead monster. It was just that even if the monster was dead, its skin was still thick. Zhang Zhizi used all his strength before he was able to dig a hole in the heart area. But before he could move to scoop out the spirit crystal, a female voice excitedly exclaimed: “It’s here!”

“Hey, the ghost-faced pig actually died!”
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Three men and two women, three practitioners standing on their respective flying instruments landed to stand in front of Zhang Zhizi and the ghost-face pig.

“After chasing this animal for three days and three nights, I thought we were going to have to return without any achievements. Didn’t think it would actually die here.” The man in the lead had black hair and was wearing a green robe with a jade belt wrapped around the waist. There was a pendant hanging from his belt and his hand was grasping a sword a meter long: “This area is part of Wuling Mountain, let’s just get the things and leave.”
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Having said that, with a swing of his sword he directly picked out the faintly exposed spirit crystal and grasped it firmly in his hands.

“Senior Brother, the ghost-face pig’s skin, fur, and bones are also good stuff.” A girl in a fragrant pomegranate-dyed dress with plum flower designs said happily. After she finished speaking, the swordsman’s blade went “swish swish” a few more times. Silver light flashed from the sword and the corpse of the monster they called a ghost-face pig was cut into pieces, leaving behind only a piece of skinless bloody meat.

“Originally the devil face area’s natural formation is also worthy of research, unfortunately it’s been destroyed.” The girl shook her head, her mouth lightly pouting in a dissatisfied way.

Zhang Zhizi wanted to open his mouth to stop them but under the pressure of the high-level practitioners he could not even utter a complete word. Su Tingyun’s breathing was also unsteady, it was just that that corpse had significant influence on Xiao Mei’s life. Steeling herself she shouted: “We killed that thing, you guys want to steal our stuff?This area is Wuling Mountain, there’ll punishment for stealing other people ‘s belongings.”
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Wuliang Mountain’s rules state that people can not snatch other people’s spoils. Su Tingyun and them definitely did not pose any threat whatsoever to those five, so she could only bring out Wuliang Mountain to try and scare them.
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
“You were the ones that killed it?” The man in grey started laughing: “A fourth rank spirit beast, the ghost-face pig. Its strength is comparable to that of a Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator. This one is even more fierce, we were only able to inflict a heavy blow after the five of us worked together. The three of you at most couldn’t be past the second stage of Qi Condensation, yet you were able to defeat a fifth rank ghost-face pig? That’s simply a complete joke. Even if you invite out the Sect Leader of Wuliang Mountain we still wouldn’t be worried.”

Su Tingyun’s expression became ugly. It couldn’t be that they staked their lives just to make a wedding dress for someone else*?

On the surface, the saying would mean to make a wedding dress for someone else so that you could see the happy expression on that person’s face when they get married. The deeper meaning is that they used up so much effort and got nothing. Rather it was the other person that got all the benefits.

“Although you guys heavily injured it, in the end it was still us that killed it.” Su Tingyun hugged Li Xinmei’s body that was getting colder and colder. Under the green-robed man’s menacing look, she still summoned her courage and spoke.   
“An old woman bringing along two little kids……” The green robed man laughed ‘haha’ but didn’t speak. The female cultivator next to him wearing a white cheongsam(type of skirt) slowly started to speak instead: “To be able to kind the wounded ghost-face pig with such low amount of power really does make people see in a new light……”
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
The previous girl in that pomegranate dyed dress gave a cold mocking laugh: “Senior Sister Zi Yuan’s meaning is that we still should distribute something to them?”
Zi Yuan just smiled without a word. The grey-robed man beside her lifted his hand and dumped a few pieces of low-grade spirit stones out: “Here, you guys can have it. We don’t bully people.” The low-grade spirit stones’s lights were rather dim, in the moonlight it issued a weak luster, just like the currently feeble life-force of Li Xinmei.
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Seeing the five about to leave, Su Tingyun directly said: “We don’t want spirit stones. I beg you respective great celestials to help us take a look. Can she still be saved? Could you guys please save her? Saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-floor pagoda……”
She hugged Li Xinmei as she uttered words of flattery, only hoping that they would lend a hand.
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
“Hehe, hehe. Respective great celestials, is it possible that this person is a mortal?” There were only those fools of the mortal world that would address them this way.  
“If you are able to find a mid-grade Recovery Pill and can bring her to a place with ample spirit energy to rest, she’ll naturally be able to recover.” The one in the white robe, Zi Yuan replied with a furrowed brow. It was just that when she finished, another female cultivator continued: “Mid-grade Recovery Pills are high priced. They cost one hundred pieces of mid-rank spirit stones, and anyways, they can’t even go to a place with ample spirit energy. Senior Sister said all that for nothing. It’s pointless to give people hope, in reality it’ll just cause people to give up all hope.”
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Hearing the dialogue between the two, Su Tingyun’s heart sank. They didn’t even have the two mid-rank spirit stones to register, where could they go to gather a hundred pieces of mid-rank spirit stones? And right now, how much longer can Li Xinmei last?  
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
“Here are three low-grade Recovery Pills.” With a wave of Zi Yuan’s hand, a breeze from her sleeve lifted a celadon bottle to Su Tingyun: “With one pill a day, you can prolong her life for the time being……”

Having said that, the five didn’t stay any longer. Riding the artifacts they flew into the sky and in a blink’s time, disappeared. Zhang Zhizi stared blankly at the already cut up corpse, spacing out for a long time before he was able to recover. He picked up the scattered low-grade spirit stones from the ground, then with a knife cut the flesh of the ghost-face pig into small pieces. He walked to the riverside to wash it clean before wrapping it up and returning to the two’s side.

“We should go back to the safe place first.” The safe place they were speaking of was the cave they found within the Wuliang Mountain range. For the past few days they had been staying there.

After Li Xinmei took a Recovery Pill her wound stopped bleeding, but her condition also did not really improve, her breathing was still weak as gossamer. It looks like the hanging onto life the female cultivator talked about was that she could only hang on to a breath.  
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Zhang Zhizi handed the roasted ghost-face pig meat to Su Tingyun, but Su Tingyun didn’t have any appetite, she didn’t want to eat even a little bit.

“Grannie, you used up a lot of energy today, you must eat something. This is fifth-rank spirit beast flesh, it’s very good for us.” Zhang Zhizi finished speaking with red eyes and offered it to her again.
Please do not host elsewhere but MBC and Yumeabyss
Su Tingyun couldn’t argue with him and extended her hand to take it. It was only now that she discovered that her fists were both badly mutilated. Even though that ghost-face pig had an injury on it’s back, that area was still extremely hard. She doesn’t know how many punches she delivered, she even devastated her own hands.The previous her was pretty afraid of pain, even just accidentally cutting her fingers while cutting vegetables would cause her to cry “ow, ow, owww” several times. Yet now, her hands were already mutilated into a blur of flesh and blood, yet she still didn’t really have any reaction. It was probably because it hurted so much it had already turned numb.

“Grannie, later I’ll help you bandage your hands.”

Zhang Zhizi saw Su Tingyun’s hands and spoke with red eyes.

Su Tingyun nodded, eating the meat one small bite at a time. Not long after she finished eating, she felt that her entire body was way too exhausted. There had been way too many events today, after eating her fill she started to feel sleepy. Her eyelids fought between staying up and drooping down, she simply couldn’t resist it. Su Tingyun could only exhort Zhang Zhizi to look after LI Xinmei for a while. She nested in the corner, planning to take a wholesome nap. It was just that this sleep was particularly deep, by the time she woke up, it was already late in the day.
