Chapter 48 Never Be Soft-hearted

Dugu Muyou held an enormous bottle gourd. Cultivator Chen came in from the outside and looked at Muyou condescendingly, waiting for her to go out.

Dugu Muyou shook the bottle gourd and handed it over to Cultivator Chen.

"There are at least 100 Pills of Qi-Enriching, ranging from rough wrought pills to refined ones. I won."

Cultivator Chen did not realize what she was saying. After a while, he came to his sense. He opened the bottle gourd and glanced at the pharmaceutical boy who was supervising on the side.

The pharmaceutical boy nodded his head with compassionate eyes. Although Cultivator Chen was a bit arrogant sometimes, he was at least nice to the pharmaceutical boy. Now that Cultivator Chen had to imitate a puppy, the pharmaceutical boy could not help but feel bad for him.

Cultivator Chen's complexion changed dramatically, which went from red to white color.

"Admit defeat for the bet. Are you trying to think of a way to get away with it?"

"That won't be the case! I am a man of my word. I will be true to it..."

Dugu Muyou began to clap, "Great. I like people who keep their words. Cultivator Chen, this way please."

They all came out of the Dan Cultivation Room. Cultivator Chen walked extremely slow, nearly as slow as a snail. Dugu Muyou did not urge him because she thought they would come to the point sooner or later. As to the pharmaceutical boy, although he was a bit expectant to what was going to happen next, he did not dare to stay or watch it. Otherwise, he would never be able to go through the terrible ordeal ahead.

"I need to dry herbs in the sun. I have to go."

Having said that, the pharmaceutical boy ran away. He swore that when he saw Miss Muyou next time, he would take a detour. He would never have any connection with her, let alone speak ill of her. For him, Cultivator Chen was a living lesson.

Although Cultivator Chen tried his best to stall for time, the last moment had come at last.

"You can begin now."

Dugu Muyou sat down on the armchair that Cultivator Chen had sat on and ate a few dim sums on the table.

Cultivator Chen's expression was twisted. He looked at the clean floor and said at last, "Okay, I admit I lost, and I won't deny it. I just simply want to give you another chance. I have a super-refined pill, which is called Nine-Herb Pill of Qi-Enriching. It is better than your pills. If you want it, I don't mind giving it to you in exchange for the puppy acting."

Blood Fox, who was inside the Yuehua Diamond, could not help laughing. Blood Fox thought Cultivator Chen wanted to make a deal but acted arrogantly, which was rather laughable. However, Cultivator Chen just had wishful thinking because Blood Fox believed Dugu Muyou would not give Cultivator Chen a break. He suddenly came out of the Yuehua Diamond and lay in Dugu Muyou's arms, stretching its body and putting on a comfortable posture to watch what was coming next. Blood Fox had a lot of herbs and was still a bit full.

"That won't be necessary. You should keep it for yourself since it is such a nice pill. I only need the Pill of Qi-Enriching. Well... Shall we begin now?"

Dugu Muyou stroked Blood Fox's fur and found the fur was a lot smoother than before, and she wondered whether it was the effect of the herbs?

Cultivator Chen's complexion went pale. He failed the negotiation and had to bite the bullet. After comforting himself for a while, he knelt down resolutely and crawled a few steps in the way a puppy would crawl. He even lifted his head and barked, "Bow-wow! Bow-wow!"

"Bow-wow! Bow-wow! Bow-wow!"

Cultivator Chen's heart was bleeding inside. Why did he ask people to tidy the house so neatly? There was nothing standing in the way, and he had to crawl a whole big circle! The evils people brought on themselves were the hardest to bear, and he understood it profoundly. From today on, he thought to himself that he would mend his ways, start anew, and be a kind person!

Blood Fox laughed hard with its eyes narrowing into a slit and stomach wavering and shaking sharply. Dugu Muyou could hardly keep herself from laughing out loud. It seemed Cultivator Chen had a unique talent in certain areas.

Suddenly, a sudden sound of footsteps came from outside the door. The sound of footsteps disappeared near the door, and someone whispered as if he had been talking to himself, "Since when did Cultivator Chen raise a dog? Didn't he hate such living creatures?"

Although he said it in a soft voice, people in the house heard it clearly. Ever since Dugu Muyou started her cultivation, her senses became even more agile than before. As to Cultivator Chen, besides being a level-four dan cultivator, he was diligent in cultivation. Speaking of Blood Fox, it was always sensitive to sounds and smells.

Cultivator Chen halted, and he had not finished the round yet. Suddenly, he felt so ashamed of himself. Besides Dugu Muyou, it seemed there would be another potential audience. Suddenly, Dugu Muyou said something softly, and Cultivator Chen's face went pale.

She said, "It seems the door is unlocked."

At that moment, the person outside the door did not leave, and he soliloquized again.

"It doesn't make sense. How would it be possible for Cultivator Chen to raise a dog? Perhaps the dog went into the house by accident. Would it be Li's dog? He always treats his dog as a treasure. If Cultivator Chen found the dog, wouldn't that be the worst case? I can't let that happen. I'm coming in."

Having said that, the man outside tried to open the door. With his hand on the door, he could easily see the inside situation if he used some force.

Cultivator Chen was rather anxious and looked at the door nervously, and sweats were dripping down from his forehead.

Dugu Muyou sat on the armchair calmly and found it amusing to watch Cultivator Chen being nervous. She did not say he could not pause during the act, so Cultivator Chen could stand up if he liked. However, she was not a good Samaritan to remind him of that.

Cultivator Chen felt his heart was about to pop out of his mouth.

In the next moment, a person with a puppy passed the house, and the man who stood outside the door saw him.

"Well, your dog...?"

"What's wrong with my dog?"

"Nothing. Nothing."

His hand was off the door, and he left with the person and the puppy. The footsteps of the two men gradually trailed off, and Cultivator Chen's heart returned to his chest.

"Bow-wow! Bow-wow! Bow-wow!"

Cultivator Chen crawled and finished the rest of the circle, and he looked like someone who was just dragged out of the water. He did not dare to look at Dugu Muyou, and his arrogance was nowhere in sight.

"We're even now."

Dugu Muyou said it and went to the Dan Cultivation Room again because she needed more pills.

Blood Fox rolled on the floor of the Dan Cultivation Room, and it narrowed its eyes and said, "You are so mean. It was a cruel way to punish people. If Lord knew about it, he would probably regret the decision to marry you."

"I never bet on things I am not sure of." Dugu Muyou prepared materials and lighted a fire, starting dan cultivation again. She continued, "Besides, your Lord is not a good person. He is even meaner than I am."

"Do you really think you can slander me behind my back?"

A dangerous voice was heard in the room. Dugu Muyou was shocked and paused her movement, looking in the direction of the voice. A vague shadow gradually became clear, and Nangong Xun appeared.

"This is..."

Dugu Muyou forgot to attend to the fire, reaching out her hand to touch "Nangong Xun". However, her hand passed through Nangong Xun's body, and it was empty.

"There is a phantom of me created via a magical weapon through the world where Blood Fox and you live. My real body is not here," explained Nangong Xun.

Dugu Muyou glared at Blood Fox and berated, "Why didn't you inform me of this?"

Blood Fox said smilingly, "A dumb move! If I had informed you, I would have missed out on the good parts."

Dugu Muyou shook her head and responded, "Both of you are meaner than I am. I'm not able to compete with you two in this regard."

Nangong Xun said coldly, "I'm here to warn you not to make such bets anymore. For you, it is okay to lose, but it will bring shame on me. Don't forget that you're my woman."

Dugu Muyou did not care about Nangong Xun's wording. Even if she protested against it, he would not listen to her.

"So you made an appearance for this? What is this magical weapon anyway? It is so special."

Blood Fox laughed out loud and jumped to the arms of Dugu Muyou while saying, "There is no extra. He specifically designed it for the convenience of keeping in touch with you. But..."

Blood Fox put its paw on Dugu Muyou's face and smiled with its eyes narrowing into a slit, "He is visible, not touchable."

Nangong Xun's cold expression nearly exploded. His dangerous vibe was delivered to this world despite he was not even being present here.

"Blood Fox, it seems that you haven't suffered enough. If you don't take off your paw, I'll beat you next time to the point you can't take an incarnation!"

His words made Blood Fox shiver. Blood Fox pulled its paw away from Dugu Muyou's face and jumped out of Dugu Muyou's arms, for it was afraid that Nangong Xun would punish it someday.

"Keep in mind what I said."

Having said that, Nangong Xun's shadow faded away gradually and disappeared at last.

Blood Fox was relieved and jumped to Dugu Muyou's arms while muttering, "Oh, my life is so miserable. I got myself attached to a devil with jealous nature!"

Dugu Muyou laughed, "If he heard of what you said, you would get a beating. Huh, what's the smell?"

Dugu Muyou suddenly smelled a burnt smell, and she looked from left to right, only to realize what had happened.

"Oh, my pills..."

The fire under the furnace, which was previously controlled by Dugu Muyou, burnt unscrupulously. The medicals in the furnace were burnt into a black paste, which was completely wasted.

She looked at Blood Fox and said reluctantly, "Your Lord has such destructive power. His bare shadow ruined my pills."

The next day, Dugu Muyou stayed in the Dan Cultivation Room to make more pills. When she came out, she had turned into a level-three dan cultivator from a level-one dan cultivator. During the period, Dugu Muyou did not stop her cultivation. She practiced whenever she was free during the dan cultivation, and she reached the middle stage of green rank. It seemed her improvement in dan cultivation was beneficial to her cultivation.

"Materials here are very limited. We have already consumed more than half of the materials within two days. The rest materials are used to make rare pills. I can't make those rare pills because of the lack of materials. Besides, my level is not high enough..."

Dugu Muyou muttered to Blood Fox, who turned around listlessly and said, "The way you cultivate pills is rarely seen in the world... Anyways, we have a lot of pills and don't need to worry about the lack of spiritual qi. I did the math, and you don't need to make Nine-Herb Pill of Qi-Enriching anymore for the next six months."

"Now I can focus on the family competition at ease. When there is enough spiritual qi, Yuehua Diamond can give full play to its strength. By the way, how's your wound?"

Dugu Muyou suddenly remembered Blood Fox's wound. After Blood Fox ate a box of herbs, she could clearly see the changes in its body. Perhaps Blood Fox could start absorbing the Magical Essence for incarnation.
