Chapter 70 Win Others' Support

Dugu Ziteng was lying on the bed on his side facing the wall. He was skinny and his face was pale. Though he took a healing elixir, he was still recovering very slowly because his foundation for cultivation was damaged. He opened his dull eyes and kept on thinking Dugu Muyou's words, "Where is Dugu Yaoyao?"

Where was she? Why wouldn't she come and see him even when he was wounded?

Dugu Ziteng was speculating when the door suddenly opened with a squeak. He turned over with great pain and saw the person at the door. His dull eyes suddenly lightened.

"Yaoyao." Dugu Ziteng called her with a smile.

Dugu Yaoyao didn't reply to him. She closed the door and walked to his bed slowly. Her beautiful figure was under the brightly-colored dress and she walked to Dugu Ziteng like a blossom in the spring. Dugu Ziteng stared at her.

Dugu Yaoyao didn't smile. She stood indifferently in front of the bed.

Dugu Ziteng felt stressed and pointed to the place behind her, "There's a bench."

"A bench?" Dugu Yaoyao laughed, "I won't sit on such a dirty thing."

Dugu Ziteng's face paled. He remembered last night when Dugu Yaoyao was sitting on that bench talking to him tenderly.

"If you don't want to sit there, you don't have to."

Dugu Ziteng couldn't believe his eyes though he had already thought of it. He felt strange about the person in front of him as if she hadn't been the same Dugu Yaoyao last night.

"You sent the servant to me so many times. Now that I have come over here, just say it and don't waste my time."

Dugu Ziteng was confused, "I didn't..."

"I was tired of you a long time ago." Dugu Yaoyao said suddenly, "Look at you. You are neither handsome nor rich. And now, you cannot even continue your cultivation. You are already useless to me, so why are you still chasing after me? I am here to tell you that you should never bother me again."

Dugu Ziteng listened to her, staring at her dully. After a long time, he trembled with his weak body.

"You... You..."

"Stop stammering. You deserve the result. When I met you several years ago, I didn't even want to speak to you. You kept on pestering me and I had to quiet you. Then you became as happy as an idiot."

Dugu Ziteng was deeply hurt by Dugu Yaoyao's words as if a thorn had pricked his heart. When his foundation for cultivation was damaged, he knew that he was not worthy of her. Therefore, he never sent anyone to her even when he missed her so much. But he didn't expect this...

"Have you forgotten everything you said yesterday?" Dugu Ziteng suddenly made his voice louder and yelled at Dugu Yaoyao, "It's all because of you! You gave me that spell and told me I would only be seriously wounded, which wasn't real at all. It was already lucky enough that I didn't die of the spell."

Dugu Yaoyao glanced at Dugu Ziteng indifferently and was disgusted.

"I didn't ask you to use the spell. You only have yourself to blame!"

Dugu Ziteng was speechless with rage.

Dugu Muyou listened silently on the roof while staring at a sparrow flying up and down.

"You must have lied to me about everything." Dugu Ziteng said, "As everyone knew, Miss Muyou was ignored in the family. However, you told me that she took advantage of her power to bully you, which wasn't real at all."

"You finally found it out. I would never let that fool touch me! Let alone being bullied by her, she could never take any advantage of me. I was afraid that you might find out, but I didn't expect that you would be fooled by such a simple lie."

"You are so mean and evil. I was wrong about you."

Dugu Ziteng's voice lowered and was full of sorrow.

"Am I mean and evil?" Dugu Yaoyao shouted, "What do you know about me? I have no talent and no one to rely on. I was taken here only because of my luck. I have to do something to stay in the house. If you must blame someone, you should blame Dugu Piaopiao, because she enticed me into doing it."

"Get out! I don't want to see you anymore."

"This is what I should say. A wreck like you will be thrown out before long. I don't want to see your foolish face any longer."

Dugu Yaoyao finished her words and then turned around and left.

Dugu Muyou, who was on the roof, heard Dugu Yaoyao opening the door and Dugu Ziteng bumping the bed. Now she knew everything more than clearly.

Dugu Piaopiao did everything because she was afraid. If Dugu Piaopiao had the ability to defeat her on the ring, she wouldn't do all those evil things. Dugu Piaopiao was anticipating that Muyou would lose in the contest. After that, she could win over Dugu Muyou as the third place, and the core cultivation method was bound to be hers.

Now that Dugu Piaopiao failed, she would continue to plot against her.

Dugu Muyou jumped down the roof and left the compound quietly. She wasn't going to meet Dugu Ziteng, because he would find her if he wanted her help. Otherwise, if he completely lost heart, he wouldn't deserve her help.

Dugu Muyou came back to her own court after she left the compound.

"Blood Fox, come over here." Dugu Muyou crooked her fingers to beckon the lazy fox, "Are you really a divine animal? You are as lazy as a cat."

Blood Fox despised her, "What do you want from me? Of course, you mortals cannot understand the divine world."

"Well, I wanted to cure someone before. Since you don't want my help, I don't need to bother. I'd rather consolidate my own cultivation."

Dugu Muyou finished her words, closed her eyes, and immersed herself in cultivation with the cultivation base.

Blood Fox became impatient. It jumped on Dugu Muyou's laps as fast as it could and rubbed itself on the belly of Dugu Muyou as if it hadn't been a divine animal but a lovely kitten trying to amuse its master.

"Dugu Muyou, I was kidding for fun just now, you know what I mean. Let's begin our therapy now."

"Puffed!"

Dugu Muyou laughed. The little fox was really flexible in its attitude. She squeezed its soft belly and then it squirmed on her laps. However, when it thought of the therapy, it stopped moving.

As Yuehua Diamond functioned, points of light appeared around Dugu Muyou. Most of the light points were silver as if all the stars on the sky had fallen to the ground and weaved together around Dugu Muyou.

More and more points of light gathered and formed a ribbon of gold and silver covering the small body of Blood Fox. The ribbon kept on flowing to Blood Fox. Countless spots of light merged into Blood Fox with adequate supply.

Dugu Muyou sat on her bed holding Blood Fox. The ribbon kept on shining and she didn't notice the time passing by.

After a long time, some noise came from the outside and Dugu Muyou heard it very clearly.

"Miss Muyou is cultivating and we don't know when she will finish. Please go back for now."

"We have something urgent to tell Miss Muyou. Please ask her to meet us."

"I have told you that she is not available. You are cultivators as well. You should know that one must be focused while cultivating. The worst thing is being interrupted by others. Please go back so that you won't bother her."

Dugu Muyou opened her eyes since she was also exhausted from treating Blood Fox and consumed so much spiritual qi. She wouldn't be able to bear such a large amount of consumption if she didn't have enough spiritual qi.

Dugu Muyou withdrew the gold and silver ribbon and patted Blood Fox. Blood Fox gave a stretch, came down from her laps, and coiled into a red ball.

Dugu Muyou opened the door and saw a maid and two men outside looking at her.

"Come in."

She walked into the room as she finished her words. One of the two men was Dugu Ziteng, who was wounded and moving painfully. He came here with the help of another man.

The young man supporting Dugu Ziteng was delighted and helped him in.

"Help him to the bed," said Dugu Muyou.

The young man nodded gracefully and helped him to the bed while wiping the swear off his forehead. Blood Fox opened its eyes and glanced at Dugu Ziteng, and then jumped to a corner far away from him.

"Xiaotong, please go out for now." said Dugu Ziteng, "Leave me alone with Miss Muyou. I need to talk to her."

"All right."

The young man named Xiaotong went out and closed the door.

The room became quiet. Dugu Ziteng didn't talk and Dugu Muyou didn't ask. She plucked a leaf from an herb and tasted it.

After a while, Dugu Ziteng said, "I am sorry about what happened before. I made a mistake and you can punish me if you want."

Dugu Muyou laughed and looked him up and down. He wasn't happy from the beginning and was even more embarrassed then. He put his hands on his laps and held the cloth of his pants tightly as if he had been enduring enormous pain.

"I won't be happy even after I punished you because you are so weak now. After all, I am not angry with you, for you were just a fool cheated by Dugu Yaoyao, and I wasn't hurt anyway."

"You!"

Dugu Ziteng's face suddenly turned from pale to red.

"Did I make anything wrong?"

Dugu Ziteng stared numbly at the tea table and became speechless.

"Last time... you said...you could help me."

Dugu Muyou threw the herb back into the box on the shelf and said, "Yes, I can. But I am not sure whether it works or not."

Dugu Ziteng was disappointed. He lowered his head sadly, his face pale. But the next moment, he raised his head and said in a hurry, "It's better than nothing after all. What do I need to do to make you help me?"

"What have you got?" Dugu Muyou said while smiling.

"I don't have anything, indeed. And even my body is useless now."

Dugu Ziteng said while gritting his teeth as if those words had been squeezed out of his throat one by one, each word holding tremendous importance to him. He suddenly rose from the bed and his wound hurt because of the sudden move. His face throbbed painfully, but he didn't sit back. Instead, he came to the front of Dugu Muyou and knelt on the ground suddenly.
