Swallowing nervously, Ruixue's eyes were filled with a longing to be saved.
You should know that this kleptomania...
This has been troubling her for quite some time.
She knew that stealing was wrong, and she understood that as the daughter of the Devouring Sun Demon Emperor, she could never do something that would dishonor her family.
But there was nothing she could do!
Whenever her kleptomania strikes, she feels incredibly empty inside.
Only by secretly stealing corn and crops could he fill the emptiness in his heart.
In order to avoid being discovered by her clansmen, she even traveled a long distance to a small place like Bole Mountain under the guise of gaining experience to steal.
It's no exaggeration to say that if she can't get rid of this habit, her life will be ruined.
As a result, now that an uncle who can cure this ailment has suddenly appeared, it's no wonder that Ruixue is so nervous.
“Of course it can be cured.” Maintaining his smile, Chen Yuze retrieved his Ice Soul Silver Needles from his storage space.
"Miss Ruixue, you just need to lie down and let me give you a few acupuncture needles."
193. Uncle, please take me in for now~?
"Auntie, Uncle, are you sure a few acupuncture needles will cure my thieving habit?"
Seeing the gleaming silver needles in Chen Yuze's hand, Ruixue almost instinctively hid behind Moxi, revealing a rather suspicious expression.
Chen Yuze maintained his smile and didn't rush to explain anything.
On the contrary, Moxi suddenly used joint locks to firmly lock Ruixue in place when she was completely unprepared: "Don't worry, your uncle has connections everywhere. There is no difficult disease in the world that he can't cure."
"..."
Upon hearing Moxi's words, Ruixue fell silent.
Auntie Moxi, do you really think it's convincing to say something like that while someone is locked in a joint lock?
Unfortunately, no matter how much Ruixue struggled, Moxi, who was locking her up, remained completely still.
When Chen Yuze squatted down in front of her with the Ice Soul Silver Needles, Ruixue finally couldn't hold back her emotions anymore: "Waaaaah, Uncle, I'm so afraid of pain, you have to be gentle with the needles!"
"Mmm." However, faced with Ruixue's almost pleading attitude, Chen Yuze only gave a very perfunctory "Mmm" twice.
Immediately afterwards, a silver needle went straight for Ruixue's crown.
"Ughhhhhh—"
Just like some dogs, when they are getting vaccinated, they start howling in pain even before the needle touches them.
The current snowfall is in this situation.
Only when a cool spiritual energy gradually emanated from the silver needle did Ruixue blink her eyes, which were already glistening with tears, with some curiosity.
"Huh, it really doesn't seem to hurt anymore? And, strangely enough, it even feels a little comfortable?"
"So just lie still and trust your uncle's acupuncture skills."
Seeing that Ruixue had stopped struggling, Moxi finally let go of her.
At the same time, Chen Yuze used the remaining silver needles to pierce Ruixue's head one after another.
As Chen Yuze continuously poured his spiritual power into Ruixue, the cool sensation gradually flowed through her body.
As a result, Ruixue, the person involved, even had the illusion that a pair of large hands were giving her cerebral cortex a deep massage.
After it was over, she even trembled with pleasure twice.
"Waaah, so this is what acupuncture feels like? My brain is starting to look like my uncle's."
"Don't say such strange things!"
Seeing that Ruixue seemed to be developing those unnecessary thoughts about Chen Yuze, Meixi quickly punched her on the forehead, nipping the dangerous idea in the bud.
In response, Ruixue stuck out her tongue at Moxi and said playfully, "Hehe, Aunt Moxi gets jealous so easily~"
"You brat, you even dare to joke about your elders?"
Seeing Ruixue's talkative manner, Moxi was so angry that she laughed.
She first grabbed Ruixue's ear, and then, in an adult manner, gave Ruixue a small lesson:
"You really think I wouldn't dare tell your father about all the shady things you did at Bole Mountain, don't you?"
"Don't!!!"
Although her ears were being pulled by Moxi, Ruixue immediately put her hands together in a gesture of begging for mercy:
"Auntie Meixi, please. You absolutely mustn't tell Daddy about me stealing. Otherwise, he might break my legs."
"So, are you still going to joke about your elders?"
"I was wrong, I was wrong. Aunt Meixi, you are so kind and loving, please give me a chance to make amends!"
"That's more like it!" Seeing Ruixue's sincere attitude, Meixi finally let go of her ears.
While Ruixue and Meixi were bantering, Chen Yuze also received a notification from the system.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully treating the demon beast suffering from a mental illness—the Sun-Devouring Black Mastiff! You have received 1000 Benevolence Points as a reward!]
It must be said that these 1000 points of compassion were indeed hard-earned.
It's worth noting that Chen Yuze and his group spent an entire day working on this.
Moreover, this was all thanks to good luck today, as we happened to run into Ruixue, who was having a craving for thievery, in this cornfield.
Otherwise, who knows when we'll catch this girl?
Unfortunately, Chen Yuze originally planned to take advantage of Black Whirlwind and squeeze some of his kindness out of him.
It seems there's no chance now.
"It's getting late, it's time for us to go home."
After putting away the Ice Soul Silver Needles and glancing at the late hour, Chen Yuze immediately summoned his peach wood sword, intending to use sword flight to take the girls home.
After these days of diligent practice, his sword-flying speed has improved considerably. At least he's no longer as slow as he was when he first learned to fly on a sword, slower than the donkey pulling the millstone in Sparrow's hometown.
“Ruixue, now that your illness is cured, you should go back to Erlang Mountain as soon as possible. I will find an opportunity to tell the people of Bole Mountain that I have killed the Black Whirlwind. From now on, you can just be a princess in peace.”
"Wait, Uncle!"
Seeing that her aunt and uncle were about to leave on their flying swords, Ruixue quickly seized the last opportunity, grabbing the hilt of the peach wood flying sword and climbing up: "Uncle, I told my father that I was going out to train for three months. It's only been a little over a month now, and I don't have anywhere to go for the time being. Why don't you and Aunt Moxi take me back to Tushan and take me in?"
“We’re not going back to Tushan.” Pinching Ruixue’s nose, Moxi said irritably, “Your uncle’s house is in Changqing Mountain, not far from Bole Mountain. You’re a pampered girl, so you probably won’t be used to living in such a remote mountain forest.”
"It's alright! I can make a living in Bole Mountain, why would I look down on my uncle's family?" As she said this, Ruixue patted her thin arm, which was practically skin and bones. "Apart from my habit of stealing, I'm actually very well-behaved! I can do chores like washing dishes, sweeping, and doing laundry! And now my uncle has cured that bad habit of mine, so I promise I won't cause any trouble for my aunt and uncle!"
"This……"
Since Ruixue had already put it this way, Moxi naturally couldn't refuse this junior's request.
However, in this family, she ultimately didn't have the final say.
So in the end, she could only look at Chen Yuze, who was flying on his sword, with some difficulty.
"There are several empty bedrooms in the house. Since Ruixue wants to stay for a while, let her stay for the time being."
After thinking for a short while, Chen Yuze agreed.
To be honest, Ruixue is indeed a very cute little girl.
But with her meager physique, she was truly outside Chen Yuze's XP system.
The reason I agreed to let her stay at my house was simply because I thought she was a lively girl and would bring a lot of fun to the girls in my family.
Moreover, Ruixue's father was, after all, the Sun-Devouring Demon Emperor of Erlang Mountain, whose status was no less than that of Bai Hua and Mo Xi. It wouldn't be bad to take this opportunity to build a good relationship.
When you're out and about, it's always better to make more friends than more enemies, right?
194. Senior Chen is a saint reincarnated!
Time flies when you're in the mountains; a month passes in the blink of an eye.
In the past month, apart from the addition of the lively and energetic Ruixue, nothing else has changed in the Chen family courtyard.
On the contrary, the monsters that had been causing trouble near Changqing Mountain suffered a severe blow.
To add some fun to his life and to earn some extra "kindness points," Chen Yuze would take the girls down the mountain to perform acts of chivalry whenever he had free time.
Thanks to this, Chen Yuze's fame spread like wildfire throughout the Changqing Mountain area.
Now everyone knows that there is such a master on Changqing Mountain.
He was not only a highly skilled and compassionate doctor, but he also often led his fellow practitioners to fight criminals down the mountain.
Some of Chen Yuze's admirers have even started to spread rumors that he is a saint reincarnated.
What's even more outrageous is that many of these fervent admirers of Chen Yuze are villains who have been punished by him and the girls.
Most of these demonic beasts are rogue cultivators with low cultivation levels who are not favored by major powers.
In the dog-eat-dog world of the Ten Thousand Mountains, rogue cultivators like them are basically at the very bottom of the food chain.
Let alone having your magic treasures and opportunities stolen, even if someone takes your demon core and leaves you dead in the street, probably no one will help you collect your body.
In order to avoid being bullied again, they had no choice but to unite and become the ones who would snatch people away.
Don't try to teach them any grand principles like "Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you." In this cruel world, those who are not accepted by others can only bully those who are weaker than them if they want to live better.
On the contrary, those who want to live an honest life mostly don't have a good ending.
Fortunately, these monsters haven't reached the point of being utterly depraved. In most cases, they just grab the treasure and run away, and it's rare for them to actually kill the monsters.
This is why Chen Yuze didn't kill them on the spot.
As for the principle that being merciful to the enemy is being cruel to oneself, Chen Yuze certainly knew it too.
But in his view, these weak demonic beasts really posed no threat to him or the girl beside him.
Moreover, the enormous power gap meant that these monsters had no chance to retaliate or rebel.
Generally speaking, after being dealt with like that by Chen Yuze's family, these demonic beasts would definitely not be able to continue to roam around Changqing Mountain.
After all, Chen Yuze
When he spared their lives, he warned them that if he caught them doing bad things again, the consequences would not be as simple as crippling them and then healing them.
