Chapter 2186 - 2187: She’s My Wife! (Second Update)

Evil Valley was located within the Great Wilderness Heavenly Forest outside Yuntian County in the south of the West Sword Domain.

Setting out from Yueelin City, heading all the way south and traveling through the night, by the time the sky grew slightly bright, the group was already thousands of li away from Yueelin City.

And that was only because Xiao Xiao’er had deliberately slowed down a little to accommodate this invalid Ghost Doctor and the two rookies, Ling Feng and his companion; otherwise, their speed would have been even more outrageous.

That night, Xiao Xiao’er merely led the way up front, saying little. It was Ling Feng and Ghost Doctor who spoke several times, and gradually grew familiar with each other.

Under Ling Feng’s questioning, he learned that when Ghost Doctor was young, he had accidentally consumed a Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures of extreme Han attribute, altering his Physique but also leaving him with a hidden Yin Han ailment.

After that, Ghost Doctor painstakingly studied Medical Skill and Alchemy Dao. Though his medical techniques soared, in the end he could not save himself.

Later, because Ghost Doctor refined an Immortal Elixir that stole Heaven and Earth Creation, it brought calamity upon his entire clan.

After that great catastrophe, Ghost Doctor’s temperament changed drastically. He delved into the Poison Path, and ultimately used poisonous miasma to slaughter his enemies’ entire household. After that he lost all restraint and killed countless people.

Finally, when he met Muu God Monarch, he truly awakened. His murderous heart gradually washed away, and now he was merely an old man with one foot in the grave, unwilling to kill easily unless necessary.

After hearing Ghost Doctor’s story, Ling Feng found himself admiring that Muu God Monarch a bit more.

The world only said that Muu God Monarch kept company with Evil People, walking the line between righteous and evil, acting solely on personal whim. They did not know that by his own Strength alone, he could subdue vicious Evil Men, and over time, turn these great evildoers into minor ones, and in the end convert them to goodness.

Even someone as ferocious as Xiao Xiao’er, though he still could not change his habit of killing three people a day, under normal circumstances he would only kill those who did evil, no longer slaughtering innocents indiscriminately.

"Senior Ghost Doctor, this junior is untalented, but I have also studied medical techniques. If Senior is willing, perhaps this junior can help you remove that hidden ailment."

Ling Feng glanced at Ghost Doctor. He had killed countless people in the past and could not be called a good man, but in this cruel Martial Arts World, how many could be considered purely good?

Once, he himself had been blinded by hatred; the Dead Souls beneath his hands—were all of them truly deserving of death?

The answer was no.

The Ghost Doctor of today had already come to enlightenment, so within the scope of his ability, helping him once would do no harm.

"This old man’s hidden ailment has already been around for over one hundred and fifty years. To live to this age, I can’t be considered to have died young."

Ghost Doctor smiled faintly, clearly not placing much faith in Ling Feng’s words.

He had researched Alchemy Dao, Poison Path, and Medical Skill for over a hundred years—could he really be inferior to a snot-nosed brat?

Ling Feng raised his hand and rubbed his nose, saying no more. This matter did not need to be rushed.

Yeu Junyao, however, was deeply moved after hearing Ghost Doctor’s story, feeling a bit more sympathy toward him. She gritted her teeth and said, "Senior, let this stinking brat try. His medical techniques are amazingly powerful too!"

Having followed Ling Feng for so long, Yeu Junyao had naturally witnessed Ling Feng’s miraculous "Supreme Mysterious Acupuncture Technique."

"Hehe..."

Ghost Doctor smiled faintly, then coughed violently for a while. "We’ll talk about it after we return to Evil Valley."

At this moment, Xiao Xiao’er, who was leading the way up ahead, suddenly stopped. He looked up at the red sun on the horizon and burst into loud laughter. "Hahaha, it’s a new day again!"

The next instant, he suddenly turned around. His pair of icy eyes locked onto Yeu Junyao. "A beautiful day starts with killing someone!"

In that moment, Yeu Junyao felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar; even her blood seemed to freeze solid.

Yeu Junyao hurriedly stirred her Primordial Divine Fire, barely resisting that freezing Killing Intent.

"Senior, what do you mean by this!"

Ling Feng quickly stepped in front of Yeu Junyao. As expected, this Xiao Xiao’er’s urge to kill was too heavy—once he lost his restraints, it was hard for him to suppress the desire to kill.

"Killing someone, of course!"

Xiao Xiao’er looked utterly unconcerned. "To have a target to kill first thing in the morning—looks like today’s a good day!"

"But you said yesterday that you wouldn’t kill her..." Ling Feng blurted out.

"Yesterday was yesterday, today is today!"

Xiao Xiao’er fixed his gaze on Ling Feng. "Brat, move aside. If it weren’t for Big Brother saying to bring you back alive, this lord would kill you as well!"

"Senior Ghost Doctor..."

Ling Feng clenched his Fist and looked to Ghost Doctor for help.

"Ai, this old man already said yesterday that this little girl shouldn’t follow along..."

Ghost Doctor sighed softly and turned his gaze to Xiao Xiao’er. "Xiao Xiao’er, can’t you restrain yourself a bit?"

"Restrain? Why should I restrain myself?"

The Killing Intent around Xiao Xiao’er grew thicker and thicker. "Move aside!"

In an instant, even Ling Feng was shrouded by a terrifying Killing Intent. Ling Feng, who carried Slaughter Sword Intent, was all too familiar with this kind of Strength.

Or rather, this was what could be called the true sense of Killing Intent.

A trace of enlightenment rose in Ling Feng’s heart. All along, although he had comprehended Slaughter Sword Intent, his nature was not Bloodthirst, so he had never grasped the true essence of Slaughter Sword Intent.

Only when the Shura Eye opened and he fell into Bloodthirsty Frenzy could he truly wield the Power of Slaughter.

But this Xiao Xiao’er seemed born a cold-blooded assassin; in his hands, the Power of Slaughter was the most formidable weapon.

Cold sweat seeped from Ling Feng’s forehead. He had already advised Yeu Junyao before, and now, sure enough, the very thing he worried about had happened.

"Senior, yesterday you clearly said that though you are Bloodthirst, you do not kill friends! A friend’s friend is also a friend. Now are you really going to break your word?"

Ling Feng stared at Xiao Xiao’er, practically roaring.

"Hmph, when has this lord ever broken his word?"

Xiao Xiao’er curled his lip. "Yesterday you helped Old Chang, so this lord didn’t kill you. That doesn’t mean you’re my friend! Now I’m killing your friend—that’s perfectly reasonable! Unless you and her have a closer relationship. Since you’re the one Big Brother specifically wants, naturally I can’t touch your kin!"

"Kin?"

Ling Feng gritted his teeth. "That’s right, she is my kin... she... she’s my wife!"

In his desperation, Ling Feng could only make something up, pulling Yeu Junyao into his arms. "Xiao Xiao’er, if you dare lay a hand on her, then even if you slaughter me today, I won’t go to Evil Valley!"

Yeu Junyao was suddenly wrapped in Ling Feng’s embrace, her mind going completely blank. For a moment she even forgot to struggle, just dazedly letting Ling Feng hold her, her fair cheeks flushing scarlet.

"Hahahaha!"

Xiao Xiao’er threw his head back and laughed. "Old Chang, see? I was right. These two little brats obviously look like a pair! I’ve won this bet. When we get back, don’t forget that jar of your good wine!"

Ghost Doctor shook his head with a smile. "A bet is a bet. You can go to my wine cellar and take a single jar of fine wine—but only one jar!"

Ling Feng felt utterly confused, and finally realized that Ghost Doctor and Xiao Xiao’er had teamed up to put on a show, just to figure out what kind of relationship he and Yeu Junyao had...

Yet he’d only called Yeu Junyao his woman in a moment of panic!

What a mess!

Ling Feng quickly released Yeu Junyao, sighed softly, and lowered his voice. "Sorry, Lady Yeu, just now..."

"Hmph!"

Only then did Yeu Junyao come back to her senses, shooting Ling Feng a fierce glare.

"To be safe, we can’t let our ’relationship’ be exposed. Otherwise, although Xiao Xiao’er was acting just now, there’s no guarantee he won’t really make a move on you next time!" Ling Feng said in a low, serious voice.

"Do you take this lady for an idiot?"

Yeu Junyao glared at Ling Feng coquettishly, cursing in her heart: Stinking brat, you actually dared to take advantage of me—just you wait, I’ll settle this with you later!
