My Pretty Campus Queen

Chapter 1238: Chapter 1238: Guangzu Healed

That was why Xue’Er could be so at ease. She felt that without their interference, helping Wu Guangzu treat his injuries would be relatively easier.

Xue’Er could tell that Wu Guangzu had no ill intent at all. From those clear, pure eyes of his, one could see his kindness and upright character.

A dozen minutes later, the medicine was finally decocted. To make up for Hao Shuai’s earlier misunderstanding of Wu Guangzu, Xue’Er carefully brought the medicine over to him.

Wu Guangzu was very moved and, not standing on ceremony, downed it in one go.

"Thank you, Xue’Er, I’m endlessly grateful!"

Wu Guangzu clasped his fists and bowed deeply.

The few of them had stayed in the room long enough. When the three walked out the door together, they happened to see the three outside just getting up from the ground and stretching their limbs.

"Shuai, are you alright?"

Xue’Er walked over and asked a bit sheepishly.

"I’m fine."

Hao Shuai was clearly a little angry, but he just couldn’t get mad at Xue’Er. This woman made him both love and hate her—at first because of her beauty, and now because he’d gotten used to having her.

Now, if he had to say something heartless, Hao Shuai really didn’t dare. In that moment, he suddenly wished they could go on a bit longer.

"Shuai, I’m sorry, look, they’re not bad people at all, are they? And Brother Guangzu is really a good person. If he’d wanted to hurt me, he’d have acted long ago; would he have waited until now?"

Afraid that Hao Shuai was angry, Xue’Er scrambled to find reasons to persuade him.

"Sigh, alright, Xue’Er, I’m not angry anymore."

Hao Shuai sighed. "But I don’t like being with them. As long as they’re willing to leave, I won’t pursue what happened before."

Xue’Er was a bit embarrassed, but Xiao Feng was straightforward. He walked right over and said, "Miss Wang, since Wu Guangzu’s condition has improved, we don’t need to stay. When the Medicine King returns, help me pass a message—tell him Iron Army’s Xiao Feng has been here."

"Alright, Mr. Xiao."

Xue’Er smiled and agreed. Then she suddenly remembered something, walked over, took a small packet of herbs from her pocket, handed it to Wu Guangzu, and said, "Take this back and decoct it to drink. I’ve already set the dosage—there are six servings, one small packet each meal."

Wu Guangzu thanked her again and again. He really hadn’t expected Xue’Er to be so considerate. After exchanging a sweet smile, Wu Guangzu took Xiao Qing and left Hundred Flowers Valley with Xiao Feng and the others.

After Wu Guangzu and the others left, Xue’Er walked over and threw her arms around Hao Shuai, not quite knowing what to say.

At this moment, Hao Shuai took a deep breath. Although those people had some connection to Chen Tianlong, they hadn’t actually harmed him directly.

There really wasn’t any deep blood feud. Since they had obediently left, he didn’t want to press the matter too far.

"Shuai, how did you end up learning an evil Cultivation Technique like the Star Absorption Technique?"

Xue’Er suddenly remembered and asked curiously.

"Oh, that... I just stumbled into it by chance. Someone tricked me into learning it. He said it was some kind of Supreme Divine Skill, that once I mastered it I could absorb Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi for my own use, so I foolishly believed him. Never thought it’d turn out to be such an evil skill."

As he spoke, Hao Shuai made a move as if to cripple his own Martial Arts, but Xue’Er stopped him.

"Shuai, what are you doing? Don’t do anything stupid!"

Xue’Er was shocked and hurriedly grabbed his hands.

After Hao Shuai let out a long breath, he scooped Xue’Er up in his arms. Xue’Er smiled faintly and wrapped her arms around his neck. Hao Shuai walked straight toward the room, and the two of them had breakfast together.

On the other side, Wu Guangzu had returned to normal, and everyone was very happy.

But after what had just happened, Xiao Feng could see that his daughter had feelings for Wu Guangzu. Wu Guangzu, however, was a total emotional idiot; he paid no attention to matters of the heart and put all his thoughts back on his family.

So one was adorably clueless, and the other deeply devoted—it really was hard on his silly daughter Xiao Qing.

Xiao Feng shook his head helplessly. But this kind of thing wasn’t something he could interfere with; he could only leave it to fate between the two of them.

Soon, the four of them returned to the mountain stronghold. By then, the sun was already about to set.

"Hahaha, today is truly a joyous day."

Clearly, Xiao Feng was in high spirits. "Then tonight we’re not going home till we’re drunk. Men! Prepare the wine and dishes, I’m going to drink with my brothers until daybreak!"

"Alright!" everyone answered in unison.

In no time, the mountain stronghold was bustling. Everyone raised their cups and drank freely. Since they could gather like this, why not sing with the wine? How many times does one get in life?

Back in Hundred Flowers Valley.

Hao Shuai had already been here for nearly ten days. Wang Xue carefully looked after him every day, and the two had built a deep bond.

When love comes, nothing can stop it. Even if you’ve only known each other for a day, for an hour, it can make you resolutely love to the very end. That is the charm of love.

These past few days, Medicine King Wang Yu was preparing to return. He had roamed the four seas and was feeling somewhat tired.

Along the way, seeing countless refugees of the Great Song, he couldn’t help but frown. Back then, when he and Xiao Feng and the others joined the army and fought bravely on the battlefield, those scenes still seemed vivid in his mind.

He never expected that in the blink of an eye, the world would become so turbulent that even someone like him, a carefree wanderer, had no mood to keep traveling.

This time, after visiting his daughter, he planned to see if he could find a chance to go see Xiao Feng. They hadn’t met for so many years; he had no idea how that old brother was doing now.

However, he never imagined that not long ago, that very brother had come to visit him—and had even been driven away by some unknown great villain. If he knew, he would absolutely die of anger.

Today, the sun was bright, and the spring flowers were in full bloom. Wang Xue was once again leading Hao Shuai through the sea of flowers. The two were inseparable, enjoying the peace of the mortal world.

Medicine King Wang Yu pushed open the gate of the courtyard and walked in happily.

But after only a few steps, he suddenly smelled a trace of Demonic Qi. This was what made the Medicine King special—a trait that could rival Chen Tianlong’s; his sense of smell was extremely keen.

"Why would there be Demonic Qi in Hundred Flowers Valley?"

Wang Yu found it strange. This kind of Demonic Qi usually came from people who practiced particularly sinister Cultivation Techniques, a scent that naturally emanated from their bodies.

Ordinary people simply couldn’t distinguish this smell. It was like some Mages who could smell a monster’s Demon Qi or a ghost’s Ghost Qi. The Medicine King was one of them; years of medical practice had honed his sense of smell and his accuracy in identifying herbs.

Following the trail of Demonic Qi, the Medicine King searched step by step, every step taken with extreme caution. Although his strength was at Celestial Dao Five, anyone who could emit this kind of Demonic Qi was certainly no simple character.

If he wasn’t careful and it turned out to be a powerful great demon, wouldn’t he be done for?

So while staying on high alert, the Medicine King suddenly thought of his daughter Wang Xue—she was still in the valley. What if she got hurt?

At that thought, Medicine King Wang Yu began to grow anxious. He had only this one daughter. His wife had died during the few years he was in the army, and he felt extremely guilty about that. If something happened to his daughter now, he would have no will to live.
