The Extreme Princess

The next morning, Taixu Lingmarten poked his head in through the window.

Seeing that Gu Yue was still practicing, it tiptoed towards the bed.

"Zhizhizhi..."

The moment Taixu Lingmarten jumped onto the bed, its throat was grabbed by Gu Yue.

Looking at the Taixu Mink's round belly, Gu Yue was furious, "Do you know that we have to hide ourselves as much as possible? How dare you go out and steal food!"

"Squeak..."

Taixu Lingmarten waved its little paws and looked at Gu Yue pitifully, as if admitting its mistake.

Gu Yue jumped off the bed, threw Taixu Lingmarten down, and began to pack her bag. She snorted, "Forget it this time, but if it happens again, I'll punish you by depriving you of spiritual energy for three days. If you do it again, the punishment will be doubled!"

"Zhizhizhi..."

As soon as Gu Yue said this, the Taixu Spirit Marten immediately wilted and called out weakly twice.

"Still lying there, get up and work!"

Gu Yue scolded with a smile.

"Squeak..."

Taixu Lingmarten responded dejectedly, jumped off the bed, and waved his little paws to begin removing the barrier from the room.

"Oh, you got up so early..."

It was still early at this time. When Gu Yue came down from upstairs, the inn was still deserted. The shopkeeper was still dozing off at the counter. The waiter who was wiping the table diligently saw Gu Yue coming down and immediately greeted him.

"Did you sleep well in the inn?"

Gu Yue chuckled and nodded.

Even though he still had some time to stay in Donglai City, Gu Yue was not planning to live in the same place for too long, so as not to arouse suspicion.

Seeing that Gu Yue was carrying a bag, the waiter obviously didn't plan to stay here any longer, so he escorted Gu Yue to the door and said, "Sir, if you come to Donghua City next time, you are always welcome in our store..."

Gu Yue smiled, and just as she was about to step out of the door, she suddenly paused, turned around and asked, "I heard yesterday that Mr. Qian often holds free clinics. I wonder if there is a fixed date for these free clinics?"

"Sir, you are talking about Mr. Qian Kuan, right?"

The waiter smiled and said, "Jixuantang has been offering free clinics every fifteenth day of the lunar month. This has been going on for five years. If you calculate the time, the next free clinic will be in three days."

Many wild men who come to Donglai City choose to stay in their inn because of the price.

And Ye Fu has been walking in dangerous situations for many years, and he has more or less some hidden diseases and injuries on his body. He has long been accustomed to Gu Yue's questions.

Gu Yue smiled and nodded in thanks.

After leaving the inn, Gu Yue randomly found a stall, ordered a small basket of dumplings, and ate them slowly while thinking about what to do next.

At least make a slightly more thorough plan.

After all, after completing the task, how to get out of it safely is the real headache.

"Boss, give me two baskets of steamed buns and two bowls of plain noodles!"

While Gu Yue was eating the food in his hand alone, a man and a woman who looked like a couple came to the small table next door, sat down, and shouted to the boss.

The boss responded with a smile on his face and quickly began to prepare food for the two of them.

With the arrival of the two people, especially the loud voice of the woman, many men might not be able to keep up. Gu Yue did not pay much attention to these, and just ate his food.

However, just as Gu Yue was about to finish the last bun, the conversation between the two aroused her interest.

"It's really strange. Mr. Lin has been ill for such a long time, how come he is suddenly fine? Could it be a last gasp?"

The woman glanced at her husband and sneered, "I'm not going to suck all that stuff out of your head, am I? How can you have a last gasp of energy like this?"

The man curled his lips when he heard this. "The Qian family has been treating him for two years, but there is no effect. If this is not a last gasp, then what is it? Is there anyone in Donghua City whose medical skills are better than Mr. Qian's?"

The woman seemed not to want to argue with the man on this issue, and said impatiently: "If you are really curious, when the Lin family holds a banquet at Yanliu Villa, why don't you go and ask for a glass of wine, and you can also ask Mr. Lin in person about the reason."

As soon as the woman said this, the man immediately wilted and grunted, but in the end he didn't fart.

Gu Yue, who had his back to the two of them, raised his eyebrows slightly.

She was not interested in the Lin family or the Lin family banquet.

During their conversation, they mentioned 'Mr. Qian', who must be Qian Kuan.

Since Qian Kuan had been treating a certain person in the Lin family for two years, he would surely be present at this banquet...

The Yanliu Villa that the two men were talking about is not in Donghua City.

It is at the foot of a low mountain more than ten miles away from Donghua City...

If this is true, then when Qian Kuan leaves Donghua City, I will have more opportunities to take action...

After thinking about this, Gu Yue raised the corner of her mouth slightly, stuffed the last bun into her mouth, and stood up to pay the bill.

...

Three days later, Jixuan Hall.

Gu Yue walked out of Jixuan Hall with a bad look on her face.

"Daji..."

After walking to an empty alley, Gu Yue turned around and called softly.

"Squeak..."

Above a roof, the Taixu Lingdiao, which looked like a wild cat, dodged and jumped into Gu Yue's arms.

A stream of spiritual power emerged from Gu Yue's fingertips and fed it to Taixu Lingmarten, "Find a way to get some of the medicinal herbs that Jixuantang gave away for free."

"Squeak..."

After swallowing up the spiritual power in one gulp, Taixu Lingdiao's eyes narrowed into a slit, and then it let out a cry, and its body turned into debris and disappeared onto the roof.

After Taixu Lingdiao left, Gu Yue thought for a moment and walked out of the city.

In Jixuan Hall, she discovered something different.

Not to mention that Jixuantang’s attitude towards Yefu is completely different.

Most of the people who go to them for free medical consultations have health problems.

What made Gu Yue feel something was wrong was that those people's bodies did not have any diseases themselves, but rather seemed to be suffering from chronic poisoning caused by taking certain drugs for a long time!

Full of doubts, Gu Yue couldn't help but quicken his pace.

She needs to leave Donghua City first.

Her guess will be confirmed only after Taixu Lingdiao brings back the things.

An hour later, Gu Yue stopped beside a small river about two kilometers away from Donghua City.

Not long after Gu Yue stopped, Taixu Lingdiao followed Gu Yue's breath and came over.

"Squeak..."

After Taixu Lingdiao landed, it still had a bundle of herbs in its mouth.

Gu Yue untied the herbs, laid them flat on the ground, and observed them carefully. From time to time, she picked up a herb and identified its medicinal properties based on its smell.

During the more than ten years of living in the small town, Gu Yue dealt most with various herbs after he turned ten.

"There is indeed a ghost..."

After a while, Gu Yue's face gradually darkened.

Among these herbs, the medicinal properties of almost every herb have been changed to varying degrees.

As for the consequences of long-term use of these herbs, she had no idea.

It was beyond her ability.

"Daji, let's get out of here!"

Crushing the herbs under his feet with his feet, Gu Yue called out to Taixu Lingdiao.

Jixuantang was so brazen that it was impossible that their activities had not been discovered.

However, over the years, their behavior has not only not abated, but has become even worse. There must be some unknown secret hidden in it.

Gu Yue knew very well that this secret was not something that a mere Kaifu realm like her could interfere with.

She couldn't help but think of a bad situation.

At this moment, I might have been targeted by someone!

[It seems that we need to re-examine Qian Kuan...]

Gu Yue said in her heart.

"Little girl, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Why don't you take a rest for a while and drink a bowl of medicinal soup to strengthen your muscles and bones before leaving?"

"Oops!"

Just as the man and the cat were about to leave, a voice that was difficult to tell whether male or female suddenly came from behind.

Gu Yue secretly exclaimed "Oh no!" and turned to look at Taixu Lingdiao.

The next moment, Gu Yue stepped on the mountains and rivers nine times, and his body almost turned into a trail of afterimages, quickly flying away into the distance.

The speed of Taixu Lingmarten was even faster. It rushed directly in front of Gu Yue. In just a breath, Taixu Lingmarten had actually opened up a huge distance between itself and Gu Yue, and disappeared into the forest.

At Gu Yue's original position, a man in Jixuantang's medical uniform looked at Gu Yue's receding back with a look of astonishment.

But soon, a sneer appeared on his feminine face.

"Speed? That's what I'm good at..."

The man murmured something, and the next moment, his body suddenly disappeared from the spot, like an arrow shot from a bow, and quickly chased in the direction where Gu Yue left.

"So fast!"

Gu Yue felt something while running at full speed. When he glanced behind him, he was suddenly startled.

All the way from leaving the valley to Donghua City, Gu Yue never slacked off in his practice.

Before entering Donghua City, she had cultivated the Nine Steps of Mountains and Rivers to the fifth level.

Adding the five steps together, if she only competes in speed, she is confident that she can catch up with the Yuandan realm cultivator.

However, being chased by the man behind her, she seemed a little inadequate!

And the other party is obviously not a Yuan Dan realm cultivator...

As a trace of shock flashed through his heart, Gu Yue suddenly turned sideways to avoid the claw reaching out from behind him while running quickly, changed direction and continued running.

"Humph!"

The attack missed, and the man snorted coldly. There seemed to be a burst of sound under his feet, and he accelerated again to chase after Gu Yue.

After dodging the man's grasp several times, at a certain moment, the corners of Gu Yue's mouth slightly curled up.

Just when the man was about to catch Gu Yue again, the next moment, her body disappeared out of thin air in front of the man.

"Oh no, it's an illusion!"

The man's heart trembled, and an oval jade pendant immediately slipped out from his sleeve and fell into his hand.

As he exerted a little force with his five fingers, the jade pendant suddenly shattered, and a stream of light shot out from the jade pendant and rushed straight into the sky.

After sending the signal, the man's expression did not relax at all, and he looked around vigilantly.

laugh...

Just as he was concentrating on guarding against Gu Yue, a branch seemed to emerge from the void and pierce the man's throat.

The man's expression froze, and the area around his neck instantly turned black, blocking the sudden attack from the branch. He then stretched out one hand, and black spiritual power surged out from his palm, blasting towards the place where the branch was attacking.

However, such a powerful blow only caused ripples in the space in front of him, and then it sank into the sea without any reaction.

The man's face slowly darkened.

Gu Yue was more difficult to deal with than he had imagined.

After the attack, the area around the man gradually became quiet.

However, the quieter it was, the more vigilant the man's eyes became.

At a certain moment, when the man turned his head, a shadow suddenly emerged from behind a tree next to him and attacked the man.

The man reacted instantly, but he didn't know the attack power of the afterimage, so he could only dodge sideways.

Just as he dodged the attack of the afterimage, a new branch came, and this time the branch actually carried an extremely sharp aura.

The man looked horrified and mobilized all his spiritual power to protect his chest.

The branch retreated after one strike, without taking any credit for itself, which made the man feel so uncomfortable that he wanted to vomit blood.

The opponent could attack him unscrupulously, but he couldn't even find the shadow of Gu Yue!

As time passed, the man's face became more and more anxious, and he secretly cursed some unreliable guys in his heart.

After nearly a meal's time, the anxiety in the man's eyes finally turned into fear.

Under the attack of the tree branches and the afterimage, he had suffered many injuries and his spiritual energy was greatly consumed.

"Damn it!"

After the man broke another branch, he could no longer bear this torture and shouted, "Akao, why the hell don't you do it!"

Just as he shouted, a claw suddenly scratched his eyes, bringing up a large amount of blood.

At the same time, a piece of broken wood suddenly emerged from the void and pierced deeply into his chest.

"Uh..."

"Well..."

After a while, in the silent forest, with a strong sense of doubt and unwillingness, the man fell to the ground with a bang.

What the man didn't know was that the body of his companion, the Yuan Dan realm cultivator he called Chiwei, was already lying in a ravine one kilometer away from here...
