SHOCKING VENOMOUS CONSORT: FRIVOLOUS MISS
9. The Reverse Attack II
...🍗🍗🍗...
“Remember this, Ling Chuxi. I will not let you live in peace! Sister Xiruo's injuries have recurred. If you have just a little bit of conscience, you will get some Purple Leaf Grass from the cave inside Purple Maple Mountain for him,” Qin Yumei bursts before leaving with her group of girls restlessly.
"How could such a young man be such a cruel Miss?" aunt Wang asked in disbelief. He was very agitated, his face turned deathly pale.
“Everyone knows the cave inside Purple Maple Mountain is very dangerous. It asks you to put death on trial by telling you to go there with your ability in the current state. Many wild animals roam there. I've even heard there are very powerful exotic animals among them.”
“No problem. They will learn their lessons in time.” Ling Chuxi's lips curled up smirking. His words should have caused quite a stir. Qin Yumei was so stupid, she never even realized that she was constantly being used as a pawn by Qin Xiruo. Of course, this was a separate matter from Qin Yumei's previous mistakes towards Ling Chuxi. Today, Qin Yumei felt a hint of Ling Chuxi's vengeance. He will soon experience his anger completely.
“You're not really going to leave, are you, Miss? There are exotic animals there!” exclaim Aunt Wang.
“Exotic animals, yes?” muttered Ling Chuxi, frowning slightly. Here, beasts were divided into several categories: there were ferocious beasts, exotic beasts, monster beasts, and spirit beasts. Within this category, there are different skill levels used to demonstrate the abilities of each animal. Animals in the wild category were the most common variants such as the wild rabbit that Ling Chuxi had hunted before.
Exotic animals are more advanced and intelligent, but they lack the ability to change shape into humans. The ferocious beasts in the monster and spirit categories were similar in that both of them had nine levels of abilities. The only difference was that monster monsters needed to have the standard ability of level eight to be able to change shape, but spirit monsters could do so only at level four.
"That's right. I heard it was so evil. So, don't ever go there, Miss.” Aunt Wang said nervously.
“No,” said Ling Chuxi with a wave of his hand.
As soon as Ling Chuxi promised not to leave, Aunt Wang felt relieved.

Meanwhile, Qin Yumei ran home with an erratic heartbeat and Ling Chuxi's words echoed in her ears. There was nothing but chaos in his mind. He knew, of course, he always knew. Outwardly, he had expressed respect and adoration for Qin Xiruo, his cousin's brother. He had listened to Qin Xiruo's advice and cared for her despite being in his shadow ever since he was young.
In fact, it was hard to see everyone praising this outstanding older cousin without envy. Upon learning the person he liked had feelings for Qin Xiruo, jealousy grew in his heart like weeds in the wild. When Qin Xiruo returned with an arm injury and announced his cultivation skill could not progress any further, Qin Yumei looked as annoyed as he thought he should be, Ling Chuxi had always been the target of his revenge.
He had ruthlessly bullied her, and for what exactly? Qin Yumei slowed down her pace, and recalled the moment when all this had begun. That was right, it was because Qin Xiruo would whisper to him from time to time that Ling Chuxi was timidly peeping at Ling Xiaoting. This caused him to subconsciously assume Ling Chuxi liked Ling Xiaoting. But, is this true?
A chill rose from the depths of Qin Yumei's heart.
'If the situation develops like this, could it be that I am only a pawn in Qin Xiruo's scheme? Could it be that Qin Xiruo had never forgiven Ling Chuxi despite acting like him, but instead planned an act of revenge in the shadows? Did he use me to take revenge on Ling Chuxi? Could this really happen?'
Qin Yumei questioned everything she thought she knew, and the more she did, the more coldness spread throughout her heart.
“Saudari Yumei, what happened? You look terrible.” One of the girls who was walking beside Qin Yumei asked with concern. Surprisingly, an expression of discomfort appeared on the girl's face as soon as the question came out of her lips. He started scratching the back of his itchy hands. However, the more he scratched the more itchy it became.
“Yeah, I'm so itchy. What's going on?"
Qi Yumei's attention jolted back to reality when she discovered that she herself was experiencing an overwhelming itchy sensation. First, his arm was a little itchy. Oh no, his itchy back. Wait, why is his face also itching? Ugh, he's itching everywhere!
...🍗🍗🍗...
Meanwhile, in the comfort of his own home, Ling Chuxi was drinking a cup of hot tea while counting down. "Three two one. Qin Yumei, please enjoy the scratching competition I have started for you and your little follower.”
"Huh? What are you talking about, Miss?” aunt Wang asked confusedly as she refilled Ling Chuxi's cup with freshly brewed hot tea.
“Ah, it's okay. You know, Aunt Wang, one day you should go and buy more stuff for the house. Also some clothes for yourself and me,” Ling Chuxi said arrogantly as she brandished some silver money. “Kakak sent some money back. No need to skimp. There's still a lot left.” Ling Chuxi closed her eyes in satisfaction. "It feels good to have money."
...🍗🍗🍗...
Qin Yumei and her gang had to be busy scratching an itch that didn't seem to be going away now. Nothing can escape the effects of this itchy powder. Ling Chuxi would know. Anyway, he succeeded. He had secretly thrown the itchy powder at all those vile girls before without any of them realizing it. Really joke. For someone formerly known as the Shocking Venomous Doctor, removing an itchy powder alone is almost an act of courtesy.
“Alright, Miss.” Aunt Wang took the silver banknotes from Ling Chuxi without protest. It didn't really matter to her, but she wanted to make sure Miss had beautiful clothes to wear. “The weather looks gloomy so I'll take the laundry first, Miss.”
“Sure, please. No need to prepare my dinner tonight. I want to go out for a while.” Ling Chuxi knew what Aunt Wang would think, so she immediately added, “Don't think too much of it, I won't go to the cave. I just want to practice my cultivation routine.”
With Ling Chuxi's assurance, Aunt Wang's worry was gone, and she went to pick up the laundry.
Ling Chuxi crossed the back peak area of Purple Maple Mountain with an incredible sense of familiarity. When he reached the side of the river, he saw Little White sitting there, waiting for him patiently.
"Little White!" Ling Chuxi rushed forward to pick up the little fox. “Let's go, I'll give you something nice to eat. If everything goes well tonight, I will be strong enough to protect you and you can come back with me!”
As if pondering over his statement, Little White blinked and raised her tiny head to look at Ling Chuxi.
“You should be considered a beast, right, Little White? Why do you seem smarter than all the other exotic beasts, beasts, and spirit beasts?” ling Chuxi said with a smile at her little, hairy friend.
Little White did not seem to understand his words this time, as there was no reaction. Instead, it quietly settled in his arms.
...🍗🍗🍗...
The slender figure stood upright against the wind above the rear peak of the Purple Maple Mountain. Not far from this figure, Little White crouched down. Ling Chuxi was guarded by foxes.
The wind howled like a thousand wolves as Ling Chuxi scanned Shi Qu City. From this great distance, the silhouettes of people walking around the city looked like ants. A great sense of pride and ambition capable of reaching the ninth heaven filled his chest.
Why is Ling Chuxi here?
To get energy of course!
After a period of cultivation and recovery, Ling Chuxi's meridian suppression problem was solved and his cultivation skills improved daily. However, that was not enough for him!
