Infinite Transmigration Starting from Violet

That night, Lu Ye's battle with Xiao lasted less than twenty minutes. By the time Hirata's samurai arrived, Lu Ye had already collapsed to the ground from exhaustion.

Afterwards, Lady Wolf and Lady Butterfly told the head of the Hirata family the whole story.

The latter realized that the matter of the Dragon's Blood had been exposed and decided to send Kuro back to Ashina Castle.

The group consisted of six people: Wolf, Kuro, Cho, Hanbei, Violet, and Lu Ye.

There was supposed to be an escort team, but Jiulang and Die both declined.

Having just suffered a meticulously planned attack by Owl, the Hirata family now needs troops to defend their territory, and bringing too many people along the way would also attract unnecessary attention.

Butterfly's condition is not good. Although her injuries are not life-threatening, her hidden illness requires treatment from a skilled physician.

As Jiulang's follower, the wolf naturally had to travel with him.

Needless to say, Lu Ye has already signed the "Dragon's Blood Contract" with Kuro and must also return to Ashina.

But that was his original intention.

Because everyone was injured, their progress was not very fast.

For the past three days, Violet has stayed by Lu Ye's side without leaving him for a moment.

Especially when she was sleeping, she had to hold Lu Ye in her arms to fall asleep.

These days, she experienced for the first time what a "nightmare" really is. She woke up from her dreams several times at night, and the content of her dreams was the scene of Lu Ye being killed by Xiao.

So the first thing she does every morning when she wakes up is to check if Lu Ye is still breathing and if he still has a heartbeat.

It took Lu Ye a lot of effort to calm the girl down.

While she was eating breakfast, Lu Ye opened the control panel.

Name: Lu Ye

[Level: LV14]

Physical Strength: D+

[Physiological Agility: B-]

[Physiological durability: A-]

Overall Physical Rating: B

[Charm: A] (Special Attack on Older Men)

[Ability: Vanish into the void]

[Skill: Advanced Swordsmanship - LV6]

Lu Ye was slightly taken aback, not expecting that he had grown so much in the past few days.

Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. In the battle of the last world, she only controlled the power armor to fight against the clone, and that was using Violet's physical abilities. In this world, she is improving her strength step by step on her own.

From training with Hanbei to the death battle with Owl three days ago...

With the help of the [Swordsmanship Manual], his strength has indeed improved considerably.

But that wasn't enough. Lu Ye made up his mind to become even stronger.

If it weren't for signing the Dragon's Blood Contract with Jiulang at a critical moment, Xiao's conspiracy would likely have succeeded.

And what happens after you leave this world?

The power of the Dragon's Blood will likely not remain in one's body forever; only one's own strength is truly reliable.

This strength includes not only one's own martial prowess, but also the weapons acquired from shops.

Lu Ye checked his points: 7600, but that wasn't enough.

We don't know what will be refreshed in the store next time, so we need to save up enough points in advance.

"Wolf, come down and have something to eat," Jiulang said.

The wolf leaped down from the tree: "Lady Butterfly is back."

As soon as he finished speaking, the tall, thin old woman appeared beside everyone like a shadow.

“We’re almost at Ashina Castle,” she said.

Chapter 129 Dragon Cough

About half a day later, the group finally arrived at Ashina Castle.

The city was built high in the mountains, making it appear quite majestic.

"Let's go, we should be there before tonight," Butterfly said.

Just as everyone was about to continue forward, Violet suddenly covered her mouth and coughed.

"What's wrong? Are you too cold?" Jiulang asked with concern. "There are warm clothes in your luggage."

But Lu Ye immediately sensed that something was wrong.

He helped Violet squat down and slowly removed her hand.

The girl's hand had a dark bruise.

Lu Ye's expression changed instantly.

—Dragon cough!

Damn it, how could I have forgotten that?

He died so many times inside the ancestral hall... This was an inevitable result!

Xiao mistakenly believed that the Dragon's offspring would not need to pay a price.

Why did the Sakura Dragon, who drifted from the west to Ashina, bestow immortality upon everyone?

The answer is for healing.

In fact, Sakura Dragon escaped from somewhere else.

It spreads its power to Ashina, in order to heal its wounds.

The essence of the Dragon's Blood is to absorb the life force of the surrounding environment and use it for one's own benefit.

Moreover, it starts with the people closest to you.

In this world, it's obvious who Lu Ye's closest person is.

The essence of the "Dragon's Blood" immortality lies in absorbing the life force of its surroundings and using it for its own benefit.

Those whose life force is drained will suffer from "Dragon's Cough".

This is an extremely difficult disease to cure.

Not only will the absorption of life force weaken the body, but the physical condition will also deteriorate rapidly.

The ultimate fate of those afflicted with dragon's cough is death.

Seeing the girl coughing incessantly, Lu Ye carried her on his back.

"What happened to her?" Jiulang asked cautiously.

"I'm sick," Lu Ye said. "Let's hurry, we need to find a doctor quickly."

"Let's go this way, it's shorter."

Madame Butterfly gave Violet a deep look, then led the way.

When we arrived at Ashina Castle, the sun had not yet set behind the mountains.

Castle Keep.

This is the most magnificent building in Ashina Castle and one of the symbols of ruling power.

In the prince's residence on the upper floor, candlelight illuminated the room.

Violet was lying on the floor, her face somewhat pale.

Besides Lu Ye, there was also a beautiful woman in ancient costume standing guard beside her.

She carefully fed the girl the brown medicine, her expression gentle, a strand of black hair falling from her side, exuding an elegant and intellectual beauty.

—Yongzhen.

This was the woman's name; she was a highly skilled physician in Ashina Castle.

"Is she feeling any better?" Lu Ye asked.

Although he didn't expect a little medicine to cure Long's cough, he hoped the girl would feel a little better now.

Normally, given her constitution, the dragon cough wouldn't have manifested so quickly. It's just that she exhausted herself in the battle with Xiao, and she hasn't rested much in the past few days because she's been taking care of Lu Ye, which is why the dragon cough broke out so quickly.

“The situation is somewhat stable now, but she still needs to rest.” Yongzhen frowned slightly. “Your Excellency, she is suffering from a very serious illness called ‘Dragon Cough,’ which is currently incurable.”

"I understand." Lu Ye nodded.

Yongzhen had originally developed a treatment for dragon cough, but judging from the timeline, that would probably be three years later.

“She is physically strong, but she is very weak now,” Yongzhen said. “I’m afraid… she won’t last more than seven days.”

"Seven days?" Lu Ye unconsciously clenched his fists.

“That’s right. Ashina had a dragon cough outbreak several years ago,” Yongzhen said. “Our teacher tried everything but couldn’t suppress it. Since that plague, the country has gradually declined.”

Judging from Emma's words, the reason why Ashina declined so rapidly was probably due to that widespread dragon cough.

The cause of that dragon cough... Lu Ye, having regained his memories, also knew.

"Your Excellency, Lord Isshin is still waiting for you." Yongzhen gave a slight bow.

"I see."

Looking at the girl's pale face, Lu Ye felt a pang of guilt.
