(Quick Transmigration) Small Cannon Fodder Has Great Power
52. The Swordsman and the Demoness 2
Seeing that her grandfather had agreed, Gongsun Jing happily directed her two senior brothers to take care of Qi Shaoyu.
"Please take good care of him for me, senior brother. Call me as soon as he wakes up."
The two disciples exchanged a glance and smiled at Gongsun Jing, "Junior Sister, don't worry, just go back and rest."
"Yes, Master said he's fine now, so you don't need to worry."
Gongsun Jing didn't think much of it, thanked her, and went back to her room.
The two disciples already disliked him because their junior sister treated this man of unknown identity differently, so they weren't going to take good care of him. They simply carried Qi Shaoyu into the room and left.
Meanwhile, Gu Yunyun and the system spent some time sneaking into the Valley of the Immortal Healer.
Most of the people in the Valley of the Healer were of mediocre martial arts skills. Therefore, relying on her superior agility, Gu Yunyun wandered around the valley and searched without being discovered by anyone.
She finally found Qi Shaoyu, still unconscious, in an inconspicuous side room. Gu Yunyun couldn't help but smile, quickly closed the door, and hurried to his bedside to check on him.
This sight was enough to ignite a surge of anger within Gu Yunyun.
"Is this saving someone or harming them? They didn't even bandage or treat the wound before leaving him here?!" Gu Yunyun carefully lifted a tear in his clothes where a sharp object had cut it. "The wound is bleeding again. How could someone be so careless? It's really... really..." She couldn't help but grind her teeth.
The system said with lingering fear, "It's a good thing you came to take a look. The people from the Immortal Healer Valley are really unreliable!"
Gu Yunyun took a handkerchief from the shelf, washed it, dampened it with water, and gently cleaned his wounds. "If you don't want to save him, then don't. You brought him back and treated him like this!"
After carefully treating his wounds, Gu Yunyun exchanged some wound medicine from the system and applied it to him with great care.
Qi Shaoyu's bare body was muscular and well-proportioned, his deep wheat-colored skin extremely alluring. His strong chest muscles and eight-pack abs made Gu Yunyun's heart flutter. He truly had the physique of a fit man who looked slim in clothes but muscular when shirtless, and his long legs were straight with very attractive muscle lines.
If the target of her missions in every world is really the same person, then she must be incredibly handsome in every life, and each one has its own unique charm.
The system said with heartache, "Host, he is still unconscious. You must restrain yourself and not have any beastly thoughts."
"...I didn't, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!"
Gu Yunyun took care of him all night. Since she arrived, no one from the Medicine Valley had come to see him. In the middle of the night, Qi Shaoyu groggily cried out for water. Gu Yunyun, who was sitting by the bed nodding off sleepily, quickly perked up and got him some water.
Qi Shaoyu's consciousness returned somewhat, but his vision was still blurry. Combined with the dim lighting in the room, he could only see a woman in red supporting him and feeding him water, illuminated by the flickering candlelight. Although he couldn't see her face clearly, he felt she must be very beautiful.
The woman was very close to him, and Qi Shaoyu vaguely smelled a familiar scent, as if he had smelled it before when he was in a state of semi-consciousness. This woman was probably the one who saved him when he was on the verge of death.
Qi Shaoyu thought hazily, then gradually drifted off to sleep again. Gu Yunyun also leaned against the headboard, taking a short, restless nap.
After an unknown amount of time, the sound of roosters crowing outside began, and the chirping of birds in the woods started to appear sporadically.
Gu Yunyun rubbed her eyes, got up, and glanced out the window. It was still gray and the sky was not yet bright.
She turned around and touched Qi Shaoyu's forehead; he didn't have a fever. She then lifted his clothes to check him; his wounds had healed considerably.
Gu Yunyun had been working hard all night and felt very hungry. She ate a few dry pastries from the table with some tea to tide her over. She rubbed her stomach but still felt unsatisfied.
"I wonder if the people from the Valley of Healers will bring him food. Maybe I'll have to sneak off to the kitchen and grab some. Patients always need something easy to digest."
When Gu Yunyun was looking for Qi Shaoyu in the valley, she had already passed by the kitchen and followed the direction she remembered.
As dawn broke, the cook and the young maid had already begun their busy day. Smoke curled from the kitchen, filling the air with the aroma of cooked food.
Gu Yunyun smacked her lips, tiptoed up to the roof beam, and while the cook wasn't looking, she stole two steamed buns, a bowl of porridge, and a side dish from the stove.
She stuffed the steamed bun into her pocket, took the porridge bowl in one hand and the dish in the other, hooked her feet on the beam, and with a strong pull, climbed back up, landing steadily on the beam. The porridge and dishes in her hands remained perfectly in place, without spilling a single drop.
Gu Yunyun returned to the room with the food. Before she even went in, she heard noises inside. She leaned closer and listened carefully.
Qi Shaoyu coughed twice and asked in a slightly weak voice, "Miss, was it you who saved me?"
Gu Yunyun's hair stood on end instantly, her face tense, and she quietly poked a small hole in the paper window and peered inside.
A young girl, wearing a long red dress with rose patterns, sat with her back to the window on the edge of Qi Shaoyu's bed.
Without hesitation, she readily replied, "Yes, I'm the one who saved you!"
“…fuck,” Gu Yunyun couldn’t help but swear.
The system was also cursing in her mind: "Damn it, can't you have any shame?!" Gu Yunyun pulled him back from the brink of death, and Gu Yunyun also helped him heal his injuries and took care of him like a maid. The Immortal Medicine Valley brought him back and dumped him there, and they have the nerve to say that they saved him?
Gu Yunyun was still rational and remembered to keep her voice down, so the people in the room didn't notice.
Qi Shaoyu's expression softened, his eyes filled with gratitude. He sincerely said to the young woman, "Thank you so much, young lady. I have no way to repay your life-saving grace. My name is Qi Shaoyu. If you need anything, I will do my utmost to repay your kindness. May I ask your name?"
"My name is Gongsun Jing, and this is the Valley of the Immortal Physicians. The Old Immortal Physician is my grandfather," Gongsun Jing replied gently. Although she tried her best to suppress her pride when mentioning the Valley of the Immortal Physicians and the Old Immortal Physician, a hint of arrogance could still be seen on her face. However, her youthful and lively appearance did not make her seem unpleasant.
Qi Shaoyu exclaimed in surprise, "It's actually the Valley of the Immortal Physicians? I've long admired the Valley of the Immortal Physicians, and it truly lives up to its reputation! I was seriously injured at the time, my meridians were blocked, and I was on the verge of qi deviation, but now all my injuries and symptoms are gone, and my internal energy is even more unobstructed and surging. The old Immortal Physician's medical skills are indeed superb!"
Gu Yunyun silently hummed outside the window, inwardly cursing Qi Shaoyu as a complete idiot. But unfortunately, she had trespassed into the Valley of the Immortal Healer and couldn't show herself.
Gongsun Jing felt a little guilty, knowing that someone else had saved him, so he just lowered his eyes, pursed his lips, smiled, and said nothing.
Qi Shaoyu continued, "What's even more remarkable is that the old physician is not only highly skilled in medicine, but also possesses noble medical ethics. Saving my life was already difficult enough, but harmonizing my disordered meridians and internal energy was even more challenging. The old physician was willing to spend his spiritual medicine and exert himself to treat a complete stranger like me. Such magnanimity is truly admirable!"
Qi Shaoyu thought to himself, "The rumors in the martial arts world say that the old physician is eccentric and opportunistic. He only treats rare and difficult-to-cure diseases and poisons that demonstrate his medical skill, only treats patients for exorbitant fees, and only treats patients when he's in a bad mood. It seems that these rumors can't be entirely trusted." He felt truly indignant that the old physician had been misunderstood by so many.
Gu Yunyun, who was listening outside the window while munching on a steamed bun, rolled her eyes when she heard this. The system, however, was so idiotic that it asked, "Are you choking?"
Gongsun Jing blushed at these unfounded compliments and quickly changed the subject. "You must be hungry. I brought some congee and side dishes. You've just recovered from your serious injuries, so you should eat something easy to digest."
Qi Shaoyu gave a wry smile. "Sigh, I do want to have a drink." He loved alcohol, and after all this turmoil, he hadn't had one for a while. Now that he'd calmed down and reflected on the past few days, his mood was heavy, and he craved alcohol even more.
Gongsun Jing said reproachfully, "Brother Qi, you've only just recovered, so don't even think about drinking. Once you're better, I'll drink with you to your heart's content!" She knew that Qi Shaoyu in the story loved wine and was carefree and uninhibited, so she guessed that a timid and weak woman probably wouldn't be able to get along with him. Therefore, she tried her best to create the image of a cheerful, straightforward, and genuine Jianghu girl.
The system mimicked her tone in a sarcastic manner: "Brother Qi~~ Ugh..."
"Hahahaha..." Qi Shaoyu laughed heartily, "Alright! But I hope that when the Immortal Physician sees me taking his granddaughter out for drinks, he won't get so angry that he pricks me with silver needles."
Gongsun Jing giggled, thinking that Qi Shaoyu was indeed as described in the book—cheerful, open-minded, and dashing. The thought of sitting and laughing with the handsome knight she admired in the story made her heart flutter with excitement.
While eavesdropping, Gu Yunyun gnawed on a steamed bun as if she wanted to bite someone in anger, and tragically choked.
"Brother Qi, let me feed you some porridge."
"No need for that trouble. I'm awake now, so I won't bother Miss Gongsun to take care of me like she did when I was delirious." He remembered that a girl had fed him water last night, but he could only make out that she was wearing a red dress.
Gongsun Jing was dressed in red at the moment, so she must be the woman who had taken care of him all night. "I haven't thanked Miss Gongsun yet. You must not have rested well. Go and get some rest."
Gongsun Jing assumed he was referring to one of her two senior brothers, since she had asked them to take care of Qi Shaoyu yesterday. Since the person taking care of him was acting on her behalf, it wasn't wrong for Qi Shaoyu to owe her this favor.
She thought this was perfectly natural and said, "It's okay, your arm is injured, so let me feed you."
As she spoke, Gongsun Jing scooped up a spoonful of porridge and brought it to Qi Shaoyu's lips.
Although Qi Shaoyu was not particular about formalities, he still felt that since his hand was still intact, it wouldn't be right for a girl to feed him, so he declined. However, Gongsun Jing was eager to win him over, so she naturally wouldn't easily let go of the opportunity for intimate contact, and she unleashed 120% of her enthusiasm on him.
One insisted on feeding him, while the other resolutely pushed him away. In the chaos, Gongsun Jing accidentally used too much force, and a spoonful hit Qi Shaoyu's mouth, making a loud "clang" as it hit his teeth.
Gongsun Jing was stunned. Qi Shaoyu covered his mouth in pain and turned his head away. The porridge in the spoon spilled down his chin and onto his chest, staining his blue cloth with a dark water stain. Fortunately, the porridge was no longer hot, otherwise he would have suffered even more.
"...I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to!"
