Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 1135: Chapter 1135: Wandering the World with My Sword (39)

Fighting?

Chuzheng claims she’s a professional!

She immediately rushes to the leader’s base and has someone deliver a letter.

The leader is delighted to hear someone wants to duel him, but his enthusiasm halves when he sees it’s a little girl.

The result is the leader gets beaten badly.

”Never underestimate women.”

The leader covers his face, ”Why do you hit the face, kid!”

Chuzheng turns around, ”You speak Central Plains language?”

The leader looks puzzled, ”Why shouldn’t I?”

Chuzheng: ”...”

If you can speak it, why did you need a translator just now?

Beating someone and ending up learning a foreign language?!

The leader, with a not so authentic accent, ”A bet is a bet. You’ve won. What do you want?”

Chuzheng states her request again.

”Jun Bugu?” The leader isn’t surprised by what Jun Bugu is, but he is a bit taken aback, ”Why is everyone suddenly after it?”

”Someone else?”

”Oh, just recently, someone named Liang... Liang what?”

”Leader, Liang Xuan.”

”Right, Liang Xuan came here, but he didn’t beat me.” The leader touches his chin, a bit smug.

Chuzheng: ”...”

Liang Xuan actually got out alive!

The leader said Liang Xuan might not survive long; his body is poisoned, spreading rapidly, torturing him to the point of disfigurement.

-

Foreigners don’t call it Jun Bugu, translated into their words, it’s called ’Red Scorpion.’ Supposedly, the main ingredient is a red scorpion, a name derived straightforwardly by foreigners.

For unknown reasons, red scorpions, once not hard to find, haven’t been seen for many years.

Thus, the poison is no longer made, and the antidote method has gradually been lost.

The leader takes her to see the Witch Doctor.

After listening, the Witch Doctor just shakes his head and, speaking in even worse Central Plains language than the leader, says, ”The one who tied the knot must untie it, the antidote needs a red scorpion as a lead, and it hasn’t been seen for years.”

Chuzheng: ”...”

Another dead end.

The Witch Doctor remembers something, ”I once heard that someone in the Sand Dune Country collected and preserved red scorpions. If you can find them, I can make the antidote for you.”

The Sand Dune Country has a harsh environment, and the people inside are even more barbaric.

Even the belligerent leader is unwilling to provoke those people.

Chuzheng thinks for a while and leaves people from the Brahman Immortal Sect to take care of Ming Xian, deciding to go to the Sand Dune Country alone.

Chuzheng doesn’t tell Ming Xian and leaves that very day.

Sect members don’t dare to tell Ming Xian where she went, only saying she left for something important.

Chuzheng occasionally goes out, so Ming Xian doesn’t suspect anything.

However, this time Chuzheng stays away a bit longer, causing unease to gradually build in Ming Xian’s heart.

”Sect Hierarch, the weather’s nice, would you like to go for a walk?” Villain A and B, seeing Ming Xian hasn’t been out for days, are a bit worried.

Ming Xian: ”Has Chuzheng returned?”

Villain A and B exchange a glance, ”No...”

”Where did she go?”

”Well, Miss Chuzheng never tells us what she’s doing, so we don’t know either.” Villain A puts on an innocent face.

Ming Xian knows Chuzheng’s nature.

Villain B suggests, ”Sect Hierarch, why not go outside? You might just run into Miss Chuzheng returning.”

Ming Xian: ”...”

Ming Xian thinks Villain B is talking nonsense, but he finally agrees and goes out with Villain A and B.

The Brahman Immortal Sect has set up a branch here, currently flaunting their flags outside, swaying with the wind.

Ming Xian doesn’t walk far, fearing Chuzheng might suddenly return.

Villain A and B lead people, surrounding him as they walk slowly. Everyone knows these newcomers are rich and powerful, not to be provoked.

When Ming Xian is about to head back, he hears a commotion nearby.

Villain A and B love excitement and quickly go to take a look.

”Sect Hierarch, guess who I saw?”

”Who?”

”Liang Xuan!” Villain A says, ”He actually got out of Seven Star Island.”

Ming Xian walks to the edge of the crowd and glances inside; indeed, it’s Liang Xuan, filthy like a beggar, being beaten and kicked by the locals.

Liang Xuan seems to notice Ming Xian, and his previously dim eyes suddenly emit a venomous hatred.

He struggles on the ground, reaching towards Ming Xian, dragging a trail of blood on the ground.

In his blood-red eyes, there is both hatred and unwillingness.

Surrounded by people, Ming Xian, clean like the moon in the sky, remains spotless.

Despite being hit by Jun Bugu, why does he appear unaffected?!

He should be the Demon Head...

He should be crushed into the mud!!

Back then, they abandoned him and Zhao Fu on Seven Star Island, where Chuzheng destroyed everything, leaving them no way to leave.

Luckily, the island has natural food, preventing them from starving to death.

Perhaps he was lucky to encounter a ship, but its people weren’t good. To leave, he had no choice but to hand over Zhao Fu as they requested.

Later, he was thrown to a foreign land, and who knew he would discover something about the Jun Bugu antidote.

Ming Xian lowers his eyes, unwilling to look any further: ”Let’s go.”

-

Chuzheng returns three days later with the found red scorpions, directly sending them to the Witch Doctor.

She finds a place to bathe first, then goes back.

”Sect Hierarch, please have a taste?”

Upon entering, she hears Villain A and B taking turns coaxing their Sect Hierarch to eat.

”Ming Xian.”

The people inside raise their heads abruptly, their eyes shining, and they rush towards Chuzheng, embracing her completely.

Chuzheng’s expression stiffens slightly; she grits her teeth to endure, maintaining a cold tone: ”I was delayed a bit.”

Let go of me!!

Let go of me!!!

But evidently, Ming Xian can’t hear it; instead, he holds her tighter: ”Where did you go?”

Chuzheng nearly chokes.

”I’m starving; let’s eat first.”

Hearing this, Ming Xian hurriedly releases her, pulls her to a seat, and personally serves her food.

Chuzheng touches her back, finding no moisture, sighs in relief, and subtly withdraws her hand.

”Didn’t you eat well?” Chuzheng asks, trying to preempt any questions from Ming Xian.

”I did eat well.” Ming Xian glances at Villain A and B, warning them not to blab to Chuzheng.

Villain A and B look at the ground and pretend to be decorations.

After Chuzheng finishes eating, she uses the excuse of being tired and wanting to rest to shoo Ming Xian out of the room. Once he leaves, she then instructs Villain A and B to fetch a doctor.

But suddenly Ming Xian comes downstairs and sits below, so Villain A and B can only have the doctor crawl in through the window.

The doctor: ”...”

I am a damn doctor!!

After the doctor, feeling utterly hopeless, leaves through the window, Villain A and B turn around: ”Miss Chuzheng, you’re so seriously injured. Aren’t you going to tell the Sect Hierarch?”

”What’s the use of telling him? Can he heal me, or can he bear the pain for me?” Telling him would only make him prattle on and worry unnecessarily, right?

Besides, it’s just a minor wound that will heal soon.

There’s really no need to tell.

”But...”

”Clean this all up. If he finds out...” Chuzheng clenches her fist, the threat obvious.

Villain A and B: ”...”

-

Ming Xian feels that since Chuzheng’s return, she’s been acting strange, not sneaking into his room at night anymore.

Having slept with Chuzheng so many times, Ming Xian thinks nothing of it, he grabs his pillow and looks for Chuzheng.

”Chu...”

Pushing open the door, the people inside are visibly startled, followed by a flurry of activity. Villain A and B quickly stand straight, shielding the table.

”What are you doing?”

”Sect... Sect Hierarch, you’re not asleep yet?” Villain A’s heart is racing like crazy: ”We came to discuss some matters of the sect with Miss Chuzheng.”
