Quick Transmigration: Leisure

Chapter 264 A Bone Woman Who Sold Her Father to Bury Him (17)

A strong, resonant voice came from outside the hall.

Upon seeing this, everyone stood up and bowed respectfully.

The old man who spoke thought he was being given face, and was feeling quite pleased with himself, ready to put on airs and teach the person who questioned him a lesson.

Only after hearing the greetings did he realize that they were directed at Lord Du Cheng, the city lord beside him.

"Lord City Lord!"

"Lord City, good day!"

"Everyone, please sit down!" Du Cheng was unpretentious, with a cheerful and easy-going face, but his eyes were filled with exhaustion.

It must be Miss Du's illness that's keeping him up at night.

"Yes!"

After overcoming his embarrassment, the old man sat down next to Du Cheng without any hesitation, without intending to fill the vacancy in the nine-person seat.

Lin He, of course, did not go down. He stood upright beside Du Cheng, scanning everyone present and releasing absolute pressure.

"This is Physician Bu. Only he knows the appearance and location of the Lonely Lamp Immortal Herb. Please escort him to safety."

"Yes!"

“I heard your questions just now. But this is another important matter on this trip, an item that Young Master Cai has specified to be found.”

These two things are inseparable.

"Heh, nephew, with the city lord's words, you can rest assured!" Doctor Bu interjected loudly to Cai Wenle.

Before Cai Wenle could reply, he muttered to himself about the significance of his role in bringing this matter to fruition.

Cai Wenle remained silent, his eyes filled with determination.

But inside the council chamber, everyone's expressions were subtle.

According to Doctor Bu,

They turned the inherent connection between these two things into a bundled sale.

In other words, it's not absolutely necessary to bring them along on this trip to find medicine.

Instead, the divine physician, relying on his medical skills, not only demanded that the city lord establish a team to help him find medicine.

He even tied himself up and took his nephew along to fulfill his wish.

This wish, however, had nothing to do with Miss Du's illness.

They merely used his power to build a strong team to satisfy their own desires.

If we don't do this, the miracle doctor won't do his best to save the patient.

This truth spread almost among the guards and the half-demon. They were all intelligent enough to understand the city lord's helplessness without it being explicitly stated.

Lin He clenched his fists silently, while Hu You trembled with anger. Thus, the conflict between humans and half-demons had already escalated before their departure.

Perhaps there is more than one contradiction.

but,

Xia Youmi still felt something was wrong.

Given the prestige of the city lord of Anle City, he wouldn't be so easily ordered around by a mere divine physician, nor would he fail to see the shallow arrogance in the doctor's eyes.

Cai Wenle seemed to agree with him, but he didn't show any respect for Doctor Bu.

Not to mention,

Given the aura of Rong Jiao and the other two, they didn't seem like they were being forced to participate in drug trials.

What are their motives?

Even if the city lord is pessimistic and doesn't care about finding medicine, letting people live and die on their own, he doesn't need to send his sworn brother Lin He to accompany him.

Xia Youmi raised her head and stretched her neck, inadvertently meeting Du Cheng's gaze.

You receive a gentle smile.

Xia Youmi responded with a smile and stopped thinking about it.

Ultimately, it doesn't affect her.

She really didn't want to deal with this mess, so she found a place to cultivate quietly.

Help if you can.

I will never risk my own life.

......

Over the next few days, everyone stayed at the city lord's mansion for special training, including getting familiar with various climates and environments.

Xia Youmi discovered even more interesting things here.

For example, Snake Baby's special skill is identifying herbs, judging their properties purely by intuition, which is a very strong talent.

That monkey was the forest guide; it was almost a half-demon in the form of a demon monkey.

Fox once asked Monkey King, "Where is your human form?"

In response, Monkey King gave him a look and said, "Brain."

The triplets, descended from marsupials, are arboreal insectivorous animals skilled in climbing. They are fast, have great stamina, and are very intuitive. They don't all travel with the group at the same time; instead, they relay messages from different locations.

The guards were responsible for providing survival supplies.

Xia Youmi simply lay flat, and after Doctor Bu Yu learned that she was also a human healer, her contempt was written all over her face.

He also instructed his apprentice not to let Xia Youmi touch his medicine box, for fear that she might learn something from him.

Conversely, it's also true that Ruoxia knew about the Lonely Lamp Immortal Herb.

I just went and picked them all by myself.

Why would we need a doctor who always puts on a stern face and tries to control this person or that person?

It's estimated that Du Cheng spoke with quite a few people, and in short, before setting off, the half-demons' attitude towards humans improved considerably.

......

Wait until everything is ready.

The group of thirty-one people stood at the entrance to the mountain forest.

When Lin He counted them, he wondered why there was one extra.

Unexpectedly,

The divine physician Bu Yu said that those were his apprentices and did not count towards one person's quota.

After walking for a while, they realized that Bu Yuzhen didn't treat his apprentice like a human being!

That was a rat demon, with at least a hundred years of cultivation. It should have been treated like a spirit pet, but instead it had to carry heavy loads.

It is not only humble and polite, but also small in size.

But Bu Yu wanted it to transform into human form, carry him, and serve him the whole time.

This was the first time Xia Youmi had ever wanted to punch an old man.

Even Cai Wenle's servant, Cai Fu, was a pure demon cultivator, belonging to the canine class, and constantly served his master.

but,

Even their master-servant relationship wasn't this offensive.

This section of the road near the forest was relatively easy to walk on, so Xia Youmi simply chose to stay out of sight of it and followed the group at a distance, letting them shout and gesturing.

Once inside the mountains, before even leaving the forest area, all the half-demons shed their disguises and moved about as nimbly as possible.

Demon cultivators and half-demons each have their own dietary habits.

Only the students and the divine doctor, a total of ten people, need to eat.

Therefore, every three hours, the sisters would light a fire for everyone.

During this time, the monkey was nowhere to be seen; it was out exploring and wouldn't be returning unless something unexpected happened.

The half-demon guards ate dry rations, while Fox and Old Cat would go out to catch pheasants.

Snake Baby nestled directly into the Kangaskhan's pouch to hibernate.

Xia Youmi slept on a pine pillow she brought with her; she didn't need to eat, and no one said anything about it.

Learning to control her breathing is effective; at least if she doesn't make a fuss, no one will notice her.

In addition, every year they have been quietly drawing maps, exploring and identifying various plants.

After several days of investigation, Xia Youmi found Du Cheng before setting off and discussed in detail the appearance and effects of the medicinal materials needed to treat Miss Du.

Therefore, even though Doctor Bu was hiding it, she knew what the design was.

It would be better to meet sooner.

In addition, she also examined Miss Du's pulse, which was indeed very strange.

Her weakness and decline were unusual; according to the description, her physique was originally capable of aging smoothly and gradually.

But the sudden and significant decline in recent years is really not right.

Based on Xia Youmi's medical experience in non-demon worlds, he couldn't do anything about her. If the description of the Lonely Lamp Immortal Herb was not false, it was still worth a try.

For three consecutive days,

Aside from the occasional sounds of debate, there was also the cheerful noise brought by the fox's gentle whistling.

The journey was quite peaceful; Xia Youmi and Shebao were even in standby mode, relying entirely on Huyou's wake-up service.

But as they approach the forest area, they must prepare to face even more complex dangers.

On the night they arrived at the border, the guards thoroughly searched the resting area three times.

But it still couldn't stop a scream from piercing the sky!

The rat demon is dead!
