Scourge Messenger

Chapter 207 I will wait for you
"However, considering how loyal and affectionate you two little ones are..."

The Pharmacist Yue drawled out her words, carefully observing the bunny girl's eyes, but the latter remained expressionless, showing no signs of being swayed by her words, which made her feel slightly frustrated. "You can chat a little longer now, after all, unless this girl can reach the Foundation Establishment stage, this will be your final farewell."

Jin Suo dragged the bunny girl in front of them. Pharmacist Yuan suddenly noticed something, his pupils shrinking sharply, "Your things—"

“I didn’t touch her token,” Master Suolong said quietly. “It’s really strange. My Suolong Well can restrict all activities, even thoughts. How did she manage to take away her token? And she doesn’t even have a token on her body to store it.”

All of the tokens on the Bunny Girl's body disappeared: shoes, gauntlets, longsword, jade pendant, breastplate, leaving almost only the ordinary clothes that the pharmacist was willing to dress her in.

“It’s probably the power of the Thieves’ House,” Bei You said. “The Return Order, the Bingzi Pepper Forest, the Hand of Melting a Hundred Aspects—these things are all inextricably linked to the Thieves’ House and could never be her private property. Given her age, she might really be someone’s sister from the Thieves’ House. Although her brother takes care of her, he would also ruthlessly take away her tokens if he found out she had been captured.”

Master Suolong glanced at Beiyou with some surprise: "It's rare that you would speak up for others."

The pharmacist suddenly asked, "What if—"

“The Bingzi Pepper Forest and the Hand of Melting a Hundred Aspects are indeed precious, but since she can use them, it means they are not fourth-rank tokens.” Yaoshi Yue said with little interest: “If they are not fourth-rank tokens, they are meaningless to me. They are not as good as the Hunyuan Yiqi Magic Sword that the Northern Journey offered as tribute. The Return Token is somewhat interesting, but it is not enough for me to give up a successor of the Heavenly Calamity. Moreover, she does not seem to be willing to hand over the Return Token.”

"That belongs to my brother; he's keeping it to get married," said the bunny girl. "We can't give it to that old lady."

Master Suolong raised an eyebrow: "Nothing to say? Then I'll go back."

“Northward journey.” The bunny girl looked at the last great protector of Shu Road Mountain.

"I am truly flattered," Bei You said with a smile. "What advice do you have for me, Lady Xingyu?"

"Next time we meet, you have to draw me a lewd picture of Aunt Yue."

Bei You was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter, completely ignoring the sharp gaze of Master Suolong beside him, and generously promised: "Alright, if we really meet again, I'll draw whatever you want!"

Finally, now, Bunny Girl looked at Pharmacist Wish.

For the first time ever, this fearless wolf demon avoided the bunny girl's gaze, not even daring to meet her eyes.

I promised to protect you... I said we were family... I said I would live with you and braid your hair every day... I made so many promises, but I couldn't keep any of them.

Even the person who took you away was the ancestor of the pharmacist family.

How can I comfort you and soothe your anxiety? How can I explain things to calm your anger?

What should I do to get your forgiveness?
The pharmacist felt waves of darkness wash over her, as if all the accumulated fatigue and injuries had suddenly erupted. Her heart ached so much she could hardly breathe, and she felt an urge to faint and escape reality. But she wouldn't allow herself to run away. She mustered her courage and looked at her sister. Blame or tears, these were punishments she deserved... Compared to the despair her sister would face in the future, her pain was insignificant.

"I will wait for you."

The bunny girl's voice was cheerful, showing no sign of her serious injuries. "I'm so small, and you're not much bigger. We have plenty of time. Come pick me up when you advance to the Foundation Establishment stage. But you'd better hurry, because my brother might advance to the Foundation Establishment stage before you. But I still hope it's you who comes to pick me up."

"Sister, I will wait for you to pick me up, no matter how long it takes."

The pharmacist remained silent throughout, like a tombstone, slowly drying out... Only her rapid breathing gradually calmed down, and a horrifying glint appeared in her blood-stained eyes!

Snapped!
The moment the Pharmacist pounced, Master Suolong retreated into the air with the Bunny Girl. "I won't spank you for this disrespect, after all, you've lost your mind. I'm quite pleased that the Pharmacist family can still produce a wolf cub like you." Master Suolong turned and left: "I hope that next time we meet, you will have already reached the Foundation Establishment stage."

The Pharmacist lay prone on the ground, watching the departing figure of Master Suolong leap off the cliff. She let out a wild, ferocious roar, filled with savagery, ferocity, resentment, and madness, startling countless small animals in the nearby jungle into fleeing. She gripped the ground tightly with both hands, carving ten finger marks into the rock, and it took her a long time to regain her composure.

Someone helped her up, and when the pharmacist turned around, she saw that it was Wu Qiu and Shi Dong.

"You're all alright." She said with a sigh of relief, "It's good that you're alright...it's good that you're alright."

While helping her stop the bleeding and giving her medicine, Wu Qiu explained that their courtyard was on the edge of the mountain stronghold, and the transparent array just happened not to cover them. They had remembered their instructions and stayed hidden in the courtyard without going out. Needless to say, the subsequent cataclysmic event was even more unforgettable. Only now that the battle had subsided were they able to come out and check the situation. They also knew what had just happened.

"Sigh, the old woman didn't even take us down before she left." Bei You walked to the edge of the cliff, looking at the drop of more than ten zhang (approximately 33 meters) between the cliff and the mountain path below. "My leg isn't healed yet, really..."

He limped over to the pharmacist and conjured a scroll in his hand, handing it to her.

"Heroine Xingyu has always wanted to see this, and I was originally planning to give it to her anyway, so please accept it on her behalf."

The pharmacist accepted the scroll and calmly asked, "Pharmacist Beiyou, are you a spy sent to the Shu Road Mountains by the Dragon-Locking Immortal?"

“Just call me Beiyou. I have no interest in going back to that strictly rule-bound family.” Beiyou yawned. “As for spies… well, not really. I’m just interested in Si Wuxie’s legacy and confident I can get a share. If I hadn’t discovered that Banruo was in contact with the Helan family, I wouldn’t have called the old woman over.”

The pharmacist's lips moved, but she ultimately said nothing. Bei You seemed to see through her thoughts and said, "Are you thinking that if I had told you in advance, you could have avoided this calamity? But in the final analysis, this matter is because Lady Xingyu inherited Si Wuxie's power of natural disaster, and it has little to do with the Foundation Establishment inheritance. Didn't you also receive the inheritance? Did the old woman mistreat you? If I had taken the stone back then, I would be the one the old woman kidnapped now."

"If Lady Xingyu hadn't taken the Cataclysmic Stone, we might have been wiped out by the Helan family just now. No one else could do that. Only when the power of the Cataclysmic Stone is combined with the Bingzi Pepper Forest can we kill a fake Foundation Establishment cultivator. Every sip and every bite is preordained by fate. Perhaps this is what Prajna often refers to as destiny."

"Speaking of which, where did Xue Xiang go?" Bei You muttered to himself as he jumped off the cliff. "He's the only idiot in the Shu Road Mountains who's somewhat interesting..."

The pharmacist sat on the ground, silent, while Wu Qiu and Shi Dong attended to her, wiping away the blood and combing her hair. After a long while, the pharmacist placed the scroll of the Northern Journey on the ground and slowly unfurled it.

The painting depicts only two figures from behind, walking along a mountain path, gazing at the perilous mountain stronghold shrouded in dark clouds. At the stronghold's entrance stand three guardians: Prajna, Xue Xiang, and Bei You, each exuding an aura of murderous intent and arrogance. The two figures are of different sizes; the larger one wears a cloak and a bamboo hat, carrying a long spear on her shoulder, while the smaller one has a thick braid and holds a longsword almost as tall as herself. Compared to the three guardians of the stronghold, their imposing presence is in no way inferior, perhaps even more so; their confident and spirited demeanor is evident even from their backs.

With just a few strokes of ink painting, the artist captured their spirit and the imposing presence of the three guardians with remarkable realism. No wonder Bei You was qualified to be the teacher of the Dragon-Locking Immortal. Looking at this painting, Yao Shiyuan felt as if he had returned to the day he stormed the Shu Road.

They climbed the mountain side by side back then, but now they cannot return in triumph together.

*Plop.* The scroll was soaked. The pharmacist wiped her eyes, covered them, and took a deep breath. She had no right to be weak, nor time to grieve; she had to fight with all her might to establish her foundation… But foundation establishment, foundation establishment!
The pharmacist never doubted her chances of reaching the Foundation Establishment stage; the only problem was time! How long would it take her to reach the Foundation Establishment stage? How long would her sister have to wait to regain her freedom? She wasn't willing to wait even a second longer!

"I'm sorry," Shi Dong sniffled; she also really liked Bunny Girl. "It's all our fault for not being able to help..."

"Does the little rabbit's brother know about this?" Wu Qiu asked with a worried expression, sighing softly, "He loves his sister so much..."

elder brother?

The pharmacist was slightly taken aback, and his eyes suddenly shone with an unprecedented brilliance.
