I am in the world of immortal cultivation, I am taming beasts and ascending

Chapter 40 Acquaintance
"It seems that the tongue problem is not serious!"

The young man joked, applying the ointment to the wounds on his arms and calves.

"You asked three questions at once, which one should I answer first?"

"Uh, the first one!"

"Jiang Mubai, courtesy name Changsheng!"

"Well, Jiang Mubai, thank you for saving me!"

Although I couldn't see the man's face clearly, the name sounded very elegant. I couldn't help but repeat it again, and then I said gratefully,
"Who hurt you like this?"

His voice sounded gentle and calm, but his tone seemed to be seeking justice for her.

Liuyun thought that he must have been poisoned and was hallucinating. After all, they were just casual acquaintances.
"It's a Taoist priest! I'm unlucky and my enemy has come to my house. I'd rather not tell you!"

She had fought with that Taoist priest before, and he was at the peak of the second level of the Heavenly Spirit Realm! If she wasn't careful, she would die at his hands!
It’s better not to involve other people!
"A Taoist priest." Jiang Mubai muttered softly.

Suddenly I remembered something.

"Huh? I've seen a Taoist priest quite often these past two days. He often comes to the deep pool under the waterfall to check. Occasionally he even dives underwater. It turns out he's looking for you!"

He wanted to see the person alive and the body dead. This Taoist was quite cautious! Liuyun forced a bleak smile.

"Not really. He may have other ideas. My weapons are still underwater!"

That day, she used the Soul-Breaking Technique to whittle his whisk into a bald donkey. The Taoist must have truly realized how powerful it was and must have been worried about her. How could he let her go so easily!

"He has been less frequent these past two days. Wait a few days until your injury heals, and I'll get it for you!"

"Thank you very much. But now that you have rescued me, I have already troubled you a lot. How dare I bother you again? I'll do it myself!"

Liuyun thought about it again and again, and finally declined politely.

She can't dive. On the one hand, she has to avoid the Taoist's pursuit, and on the other hand, she has to take out her weapon. It's really not easy!
But I just met him and we are not familiar with each other, so how can I bother him again and again?

Moreover, I don’t want to owe too many favors to others. It’s a very troublesome thing!

"Well, whatever! I'll listen to you! Just listen to others' advice and have a full meal!"

Jiang Mubai heard this, and although hesitant, he still agreed.

After a pause, he hesitated to speak.
"You don't have to be so reserved. Diving to retrieve something is just a small matter to me. You don't have to feel uneasy and think you owe me something. Just relax and heal your wounds and retrieve the item. We'll talk about it after you recover!"

Liuyun felt a little embarrassed when her inner thoughts were exposed. If she didn't appreciate what was said, it would seem that she was arrogant and indifferent, looking down on others!
Besides, in the current situation, I really need his help!
The cave fell into silence for a while. After a while, Liuyun said in a soft voice,

"Actually, um, I do want to ask you for something. I wonder if you can help me."

"Since you have something to ask for your help," Jiang Mubai interrupted her and whispered tentatively, "I don't know what to call you. Can you tell me..."

"I was negligent!" Liuyun laughed dumbly, "Yun Liuye!"

"Yun Liuye" he repeated silently several times, put away the medicine bottles, and put them neatly in order. Then he remembered what he had just said and asked, "What do you want?"

"I just heard what you said, are you good at diving? Please teach me!"

"Diving?"

Jiang Mubai looked back at her doubtfully. This question was beyond his expectations, and he suddenly understood something.
"Is it because of those weapons? You can't get fat in one bite, let's talk about these after your wounds are healed! You still have the mind to swim, and now you are covered with wounds! Do you know what you look like now?"

"Haha!" Liuyun laughed at himself.

"Just half dead!"

"Not only that! The poison spread throughout your body and almost took your life, and also your appearance..."

He was halfway through his words when he regretted saying too much. Girls value appearance the most, and he shouldn't have mentioned this.

"It's okay! I know what's going on! I sensed it when I opened my eyes just now. It must be the toxin that spread throughout the body, causing it to swell up like a pig's head!"

"Pighead?" Jiang Mubai was stunned when he heard it. A girl actually described herself as a pighead? That's all?

Looking at her image, well, how should I put it? Yes, her metaphor is very vivid! It really looks like a pig's head!
I couldn't help but feel happy, my eyes and eyebrows were full of smiles, and my shoulders were shaking with joy.
"Hahaha! Indeed." Jiang Mubai tried hard to hold back his laughter, but he couldn't suppress the upward curve of his lips. "Sorry. Haha!"

"You're the first person I know who calls himself a pighead! Haha!"

"Laugh, laugh! It's not like you can't recover!"

"Thank you for trusting my medical skills. In fact, I randomly mixed those medicines. Are you afraid?"

"Don't be afraid! I'm still alive, which means the medicine is effective! Let's give it a try! Being alive is better than being dead!"

"You are quite open-minded!" Jiang Mubai's voice gradually became lower and he sounded a little worried.

"But I'm a little afraid. I'm afraid the drugs will conflict with each other and damage your appearance."

"Um"

Liuyun hesitated for a moment. It was impossible to say that he didn't care at all. But when living in this world, no one can have everything go as planned. It was just a matter of weighing the pros and cons!

"In life, eight out of ten things are not satisfactory. How can we expect perfection in everything? No matter what, it's good to be alive! So, I don't care, and my family won't care either. You can take the medicine without worry! I don't blame you!"

He raised his calm eyes and looked at the person in front of him with a distant and inquiring look.

This person is different from all the women he has met. Women in ancient times have valued their appearance as much as their life, but she is so open-minded. At the same time, she encourages him to use the medicine boldly and does not care about her appearance at all. It is really incomprehensible!

I remember that his cousin was bitten by a mosquito and didn't go out for a month.
How does she stay so calm?!

"Speaking of poisoning, it was you that day. You weren't poisoned, right?"

Liuyun knew what was going on. The old Taoist's hidden weapon had penetrated deep into the flesh, and the poison was spreading very quickly. It would not be enough to just break the skin and flesh to let the blood out. That day, in a daze, she seemed to see him leaning over to treat her. It must have been him who sucked out the poison.

"It's okay!" Seeing her say this, Jiang Mubai knew that she had thought of everything and no longer concealed it.
"The poison in your calf is not serious, but it spreads quickly to your arm, so I'm sorry for being so abrupt. Don't worry, no one else will know."

After experiencing what Cui did, Liuyun deeply realized that people's words are terrible and can really kill people with just a drop of spit.

Jiang Mubai naturally understood her concerns, so he said it very clearly: This matter is known to heaven, earth, you and me!

"Well, thank you!"

"I can't even count how many times you thanked me!"

He smiled gently, rather helplessly.

"I can't repay you for saving my life. When I recover, I'll think about how to repay you!"

Knowing how to repay kindness is her good character, and taking revenge is also her noble virtue!
