Starting with Fireflies, Speedrun the World

But there's no rush. They've already won over their clan leader, Cui Yuling, and the entire Leech Demon clan will be hers sooner or later.

Before that, we need to deal with some traitors to avoid jeopardizing our future medical team.

Feixiao's gaze swept over the several male leech demons not far away.

Compared to the poised and confident female leech demons, the girl saw very few male leech demons here. Even those she did see were all cautiously watching her from the shadows.

I dared not look him in the eye.

For example, right now, when Fei Xiao looked at those male leech demons, they all quickly turned their heads away and avoided Fei Xiao's gaze.

I don't know if it's shyness or something else...

Among the leech clan, due to their inherent nature, males are inherently inferior to females in certain aspects, which is why female leech demons are relatively dominant.

One of the reasons for the tragedy of Cuiyu Xiaotan and Cuiyu Mingluan in the original work was that a certain male leech demon was not satisfied with the status quo, so he betrayed the leech demon clan.

They even conspired with Jin Renfeng to harm women of their own clan...

Thinking about all this, Fei Xiao took the initiative to walk towards the male leech demons in front of him, preparing to ask them some questions.

She wasn't entirely sure which male leech demons were the culprits who harmed Cuiyu and her disciple Xiaotan; she needed to confirm that.

But when Feixiao approached, these male leech demons turned and fled as if they had seen some kind of ferocious beast.

Feixiao stopped in his tracks, lost in thought, wondering why he was so afraid of himself.

Thinking back on the past few days, she hadn't done anything special, just exercised and strolled around, right? It couldn't have been that she scared them while exercising, could it?

"..."

Influenced by Fei Xiao's habits, she got used to exercising every day, but her exercise routine might frighten ordinary people.

It’s too extreme!

Even when running, she does it at a speed that is unimaginable to ordinary people.

However, since there were no treadmills here, she could only exercise around the village...

"Feixiao, I've found something here. If you're free right now, why don't you come with me?"

Just as Fei Xiao was about to go back to her place to take a shower, Cui Yuling, who had been researching new things for the past few days, appeared beside her.

"Don't tell me you actually analyzed the components of the bud of life?"

Hearing Cui Yuling's words, Fei Xiao was a little surprised. The Sprout of Life is essentially a blessing of abundant divine power. Unless it is someone like Ruan Mei, she finds it hard to imagine that others can analyze it.

"Not really, but I did manage to get something out of your blood."

Cui Yuling smiled sweetly, like a kind older sister next door, incredibly gentle. Normal people couldn't understand what Fei Xiao was going through, so she had to ask Fei Xiao to come in person.

"?"

You actually managed to do something?

Although she knew that Cui Yuling was a highly skilled healer, and was said to be able to cure any injury or illness in the world, this was just too outrageous.

"Okay, wait a minute, I'll go back and take a shower first. It'll be quick, just five minutes."

Although she didn't know what it was, Fei Xiao was indeed interested. However, she had just finished running and was covered in sweat, so she needed to take a shower first.

At her speed, five minutes would be enough.

However, Cui Yuling grabbed her hand.

"No need, you can just come to my place to wash. I can also give you another check-up."

After saying that, Cui Yuling didn't give Fei Xiao a chance to speak and directly pulled him towards her residence.

11

Chapter 11 Perhaps... I arrived at the wrong time?!

Pulled along by Cui Yuling, Fei Xiao could only suppress his discomfort and followed her to her residence, which was the deepest part of Jianbi Lake.

Surrounded by water on all sides, with birds singing and flowers blooming, this naturally tranquil environment is like a true paradise. Various exotic flowers and rare herbs are planted all around.

Poison would be even better if it weren't for those insects.

"Since you're not afraid of these bugs, I'm relieved."

Along the way with Feixiao, Cuiyuling kept an eye on Feixiao's condition. When she saw that Feixiao remained expressionless in the face of the insects and poisonous creatures around her, she couldn't help but smile.

Although it's hard to admit, the leech demon clan, despite being called the water spirit clan and possessing naturally spiritual eyes, is, to many, a terrifying insect in its true form.

Therefore, Feixiao is not afraid of insects, and I feel much more at ease spending time with him.

It would be bad if she revealed her true form and scared Feixiao into resisting.

"Although I'm not afraid of bugs, I don't like them."

After saying that, Fei Xiao expressionlessly stomped on the poisonous insect that had crawled to his feet and killed it.

This made Cui Yuling raise an eyebrow slightly, but she quickly thought of something, grabbed Fei Xiao's hands, and brought her head close to Fei Xiao...

Looking at Fei Xiao with affectionate eyes, she whispered in his ear, "...Then...do you like me?"

Feeling the warmth of Cui Yuling's breath enter her ears, Fei Xiao's fox ears twitched instinctively. This female demon... she's so good at it, so seductive.

"I like it this way, as for the original form..."

Fei Xiao didn't push her away; instead, he looked her over carefully and then gave her this answer.

The Jade Spirit's human form is indeed very beautiful, like a friendly older sister with a touch of mischievousness; the more you look at her, the more you like her! However, her true form is still hard to conceal.

"...Miss Feixiao, if I hadn't examined you, I would have really had my doubts. Why are you like those men, only caring about...appearance?"

"?"

"Is it true that liking or pursuing beautiful things is not a matter of gender, Miss Cuiyuling?"

"..."

Cui Yuling paused for a moment, then smiled her usual smile again and pushed open the door.

"Come in. Didn't you want to take a bath? Why don't you soak in the medicinal bath I prepared, and let me give you another full-body check-up while you're at it?"

As she spoke, Cui Yuling went into the house and began tidying up the things inside. When Fei Xiao followed her in, he found that the house was filled with all kinds of medicinal herbs.

"Didn't you say you'd figured out something?"

Feixiao curiously looked around the room. The strong smell of herbs wasn't unpleasant; instead, it had a pleasant fragrance.

"This is it, but just to be safe, it should be used in conjunction with the medicinal bath..."

Cui Yuling pointed to a shelf to the side, where a bubble was floating in the air, and inside the bubble was a drop of green liquid.

In this liquid, Fei Xiao sensed a familiar smell of blood and a rich aroma.

"I forgot to tell you, our Hirudo clan is also known as Water Spirits. We are born with the power to control liquids, especially blood."

"To outsiders, the Hiru Demons are all skilled in medicine. But this is not something they are trained by heaven, but rather a natural talent. It all comes from the Water Spirit Eye on the forehead of the Hiru Demon clan."

As Fei Xiao looked at the liquid, Cui Yuling directly told him the core secret of the Leech Demon Clan.

"The Eye of Water? Is that the third eye on your forehead?"

Feixiao knew a little, but not much. He simply knew that the eyes were extraordinary, but he didn't know anything more detailed.

"good."

"In theory, it can affect the changes, composition, control, and analysis of any liquid."

Cui Yuling pointed to the eye on her forehead. To others, the leech demon's water spirit eye could only shoot out demonic light, and its gaze could affect the changes in the liquid within its range.

It can even cause the blood in the human body to explode directly. Even a leech demon that does not know medicine can separate harmful substances in human blood through its Water Spirit Eye, thereby achieving a therapeutic effect.

However, these are only the most basic applications. As the king of leeches, Jade Spirit's application of water spirits far surpasses other levels.

She can easily separate and analyze the various components of a liquid, and even combine them in unusual ways. She has experience with things that ordinary people can and cannot imagine.

This is the rich experience of a thousand-year-old demon...

Even though Feixiao's blood and the bud of life were fraught with danger, she still gained a lot in just a few days.

However, it is precisely because of the leech demon's watery eyes that it is considered quite valuable by many people and monsters.

"Amazing, no wonder she's Shui Ling..."

Even Feixiao had to offer a word of praise.

Although this world is not particularly powerful overall, many of its characters are based on the powerful gods and immortals in Journey to the West.

Therefore, their innate talents and abilities are undeniably remarkable.

"Yes! But before you appeared, I never thought that someone's blood would be so difficult for even my Water Spirit Eyes to control."

Cui Yuling simply smiled at Fei Xiao's praise and then looked at the liquid in the bubbles.

"I spent several days working on this. Although it can't cure your condition, it should make you feel more comfortable. Would you like to give it a try?"

While speaking, Cui Yuling didn't forget to add water to the bathtub next to her and heat it up, while also continuously adding medicinal herbs.

"So, you're using me as a guinea pig?"

Looking at Cui Yuling's malicious smile, Fei Xiao knew exactly what she was thinking.

"how could be."

“If we were using you as a guinea pig, we wouldn’t have let you take a bath, we would have made you drink it directly. Taking a bath is perfectly fine with your physical condition.”

Cui Yuling assured her with absolute certainty that she had never seen someone with such terrifying physical abilities as Fei Xiao before.

Therefore, only Feixiao can withstand the medicinal effects of this stuff; no one else can.

"..."

"Alright, lie down now! Everything'll be fine. If anything really happens, I'll die with you, okay?"

After adding the liquid to the bathtub, Cui Yuling quickly let Fei Xiao get in.

"No need for that, but...aren't you going out?"

Although the liquid was remarkably resilient, it was nothing to Feixiao. She had even swallowed Chiyue, so this was nothing to her.

She hesitated to move, and the leech demon in front of her stood right next to her, showing no intention of leaving.
