I'm modifying myself into the ultimate demon.

Chapter 37 Liu Baihu Visits

The next morning.

The snowflakes falling from the sky grew denser and denser, turning the entire sky into a vast, white expanse.

This kind of weather is perfect for being sleepy.

Chen Mo got up early and called Qiu Lan, "Qiu Lan, go to the Xie residence and ask Xie Dong what he's been up to lately. Does he still remember what I told him to do?"

"Yes, young master, I'll go right away." Qiu Lan happily curtsied and then hurriedly left.

Chen Mo took his knife and practiced in the courtyard for half an hour to loosen up his muscles and bones. Afterwards, he went to the backyard to visit the woman.

As soon as I entered, I saw Ma Tie feeding the woman with raw pork.

Upon seeing Chen Mo approach, Ma Tie hurriedly and respectfully greeted him, "Young Master, you've arrived."

After what happened last night, Ma Tie was filled with admiration for Chen Mo. Even just greeting Chen Mo made him feel immense pressure. He had to mentally rehearse his words several times to make sure there was nothing inappropriate before he dared to speak.

"Has the woman changed at all?"

"Young master, you'll see soon enough."

Chen Mo walked to the door and glanced into the room.

It was still dark, and the room was dimly lit by only a horn lamp. In the dim light, the woman, covered in dense white hair, was lying on the ground eating raw pork. Her face was covered in blood, and she looked quite horrifying.

Chen Mo stepped forward to examine his abdomen and opened the panel.

Suddenly, the baby's face on the woman's abdomen became clearer, and its mouth was even wider open. Moreover, the two black bars within the panel's frame were thicker than before.

The outline of a third rod can also be vaguely seen.

This made Chen Mo's heart sink...

Is the third black bar about to appear?
The more black bars there are, the stronger the resentment of the curse becomes.

This is not a good sign.

The woman's increasing strength was directly related to the increase in the number of black poles.

Chen Mo suddenly felt an indescribable sense of horror and pressure.

I have a feeling this is the harbinger of an impending storm.

Seeing Chen Mo squatting on the ground for a long time without speaking, Ma Tie came over and asked, "Young Master, is something wrong?"

Chen Mo then came to his senses. "It's alright. Just keep an eye on her. From now on, unless I give you orders, you don't need to go out. Just stay here and watch over her. Make detailed records, and submit the daily log to me."

Although Ma Tie didn't know the reason behind it, he knew that this matter was serious, so he said, "Don't worry, young master, I will definitely keep an eye on her."

Chen Mo nodded, then cut a small piece of skin from the woman's body. He boiled it into a Wei Qi Skin Paste, then made a small pill and gave it to Lu Wei.

After swallowing the pill, Lu Weicai let out a scream of agony. He then rolled on the ground, wailing pitifully.

"You bastard, what did you feed me? I'm so hot, I'm dying of heat!"

"Young Master Chen, quickly find me a doctor! I don't want to die! Ahhh..."

"It's so hot, so hot!!"

A moment later, Lu Wei kicked his legs.

He died.

Ma Tie, who was standing to the side, was terrified.

"Give his body to the woman. I'll find someone at the Blood Rush Realm to experiment on later."

Leaving behind a message, Chen Mo hurriedly returned to the central courtyard, picked up a piece of the previous batch of Wei Qi ointment, and ate it. He felt comfortable inside, with no other reaction.

As for the Wei Qi ointment that had just been brewed, Chen Mo, adhering to the principle of caution, did not consume it. He needed to find someone at the Blood Recharge Realm to test it on.

After all, you can earn money again, but you only have one life.

If you don't want to take risks yourself, then you can only ask someone else to take the risks for you.

Fortunately, there are many bandits and villains in this world. Capturing some for experiments is a way to make the best use of resources and serve the society by eliminating harm for the people.

Chen Mo walked out of the east courtyard and found that the snow was falling even harder. A handsome young man with a head full of white snow stood upright in the snow, waiting quietly.

Upon seeing the person's face clearly, Chen Mo was taken aback. "Chen Wu, why didn't you knock before you came?" Chen Wu's still somewhat childish face was pale from the cold, and he rubbed his hands together vigorously. "I know Brother Mo is injured, and I was afraid of disturbing Brother Mo's rest."

Chen Mo glared at him, "Did Second Madam tell you to say that?"

Chen Wu blushed and lowered his head in shame.

"You come with me."

"Hmm." Chen Wu nodded emphatically, gripping his broadsword and following behind Chen Mo, head held high and chest puffed out, full of interest.

As they passed the martial arts arena, many of the guards who were practicing there stopped and began calling him "Second Young Master." As for Chen Wu, who was following behind Chen Mo, he was instinctively ignored by the guards.

For many years, Chen Wu was like an invisible man, and the guards didn't take him seriously. Some of the guards who had just arrived didn't even know that there was a Chen Wu in the Chen family.

Fortunately, Chen Wu was already used to this kind of scene and didn't feel anything was wrong, so he just followed closely behind Chen Mo.

Chen Mo paused briefly, glancing at the guards in the training ground. "This is my younger brother, Chen Wu."

Upon hearing this, the guards immediately realized that Chen Mo intended to train Chen Wu, and they all began to call him "Third Young Master".

Upon hearing this call, Chen Wu felt the presence of his master for the first time, and his eyes reddened slightly. He glanced at Chen Mo beside him, feeling grateful, and secretly vowed: I must repay my second brother well in the future.

Chen Mo was satisfied with the performance of the guards. "Wei Heng, Liu Jiang, come here."

Wei Heng and Liu Jiang then came over with smiles.

"Second Young Master, what are your orders?"

Chen Mo said, "You two were incredibly brave yesterday, I saw it all. Are your injuries serious?"

"It's nothing serious, just a few minor cuts and bruises."

"Thank you for your concern, Second Young Master."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Chen Mo said, "A medicine-making workshop will soon be opened at your residence. From now on, we will provide you with Tiger Offal Soup and Tiger Blood Soup free of charge. This will be enough to help you break through the five realms. In addition, I will collect some martial arts manuals and place them in the library for you to read and practice..."

The two were greatly surprised upon hearing this and thanked him profusely.

Chen Mo waved his hand and said, "No need for thanks. I have a favor to ask of you two. This is my younger brother, Chen Wu, as you both surely know. He is a promising martial arts talent, almost at the Skin Realm by the age of thirteen. From now on, you two will serve as his teachers, instructing him in martial arts. If you teach him well, I will reward you handsomely."

Wei Heng immediately patted his chest and assured him, "Don't worry, Second Young Master, I, Wei Heng, will definitely teach you step by step. I will not let you down."

Liu Jiang: "Me too."

Chen Mo nodded, then turned to Chen Wu and said, "Wei Heng and Liu Jiang are both experts at the Five Viscera Realm. Moreover, they are in their prime, and it's only a matter of time before they break through to the Blood Crush Realm. You should follow your two teachers and practice martial arts diligently, and do not slack off."

Chen Wu's eyes welled up with tears, and he bowed deeply to Chen Mo, saying, "Thank you so much, Brother Mo..."

“Brother Mo sounds awkward, just call me Second Brother.”

"Second...Brother!"

……

After leaving the martial arts arena, Chen Mo headed towards the east courtyard, hoping to see if Qiu Lan had returned. However, after taking only a few steps, he saw Hai Tang, the head maid of the manor, rushing towards him.

"Haitang, is there something you need?"

Haitang was a maid who came with her mother as part of her dowry and served the household for a full eighteen years. Due to their vastly different statuses, Chen Mo treated her with more respect.

Haitang is only thirty years old, a ripe age, with a graceful figure and a beautiful face.

She gave Chen Mo a deep bow and said with a smile, "Master wants the young master to go to the central courtyard."

Chen Mo asked, "What does Father have to say?"

Haitang said, "Liu Hao, the centurion of the Thousand Household Garrison, has arrived and is having tea with the master in the middle courtyard. Centurion Liu was very impressed with the second young master's feat of killing the bandits yesterday. Calling the young master over might bring him great benefits."

Chen Mo was overjoyed.

It was barely dawn when Liu Baihu arrived at the mansion, which showed that he had a very good relationship with his father.

Honghe County is located on the southeastern border of the Great Qian Dynasty, so it naturally amassed a large army. The officials were all of high rank; the county's thousand-household garrison had three thousand soldiers, and the commander of the thousand-household garrison was a sixth-rank official, even higher than the county magistrate.

It is said that Lord Chiju is an extraordinary figure and a master of internal martial arts.

Who knows, we might be able to get a method for resolving blood stasis and qi from Liu Hao?
