Chapter 1278: I Will Naturally Dote on Him!
Tao Tao’s big eyes turned, and it seemed to be rather satisfied with this name.
Actually, it was jealous and hated Chu Liuyue in the beginning. This was especially so when its mother didn’t respond when it was on the brink of death and kept sending out help signals to its mother.
Tao Tao and its mother depended on each other. Ever since it had memories, its mother was very good to it. It was normally playful outside and caused frequent trouble. Ah Qiong always protected it and didn’t let any fiends bully it.
But from the moment this person came, everything had changed. Tao Tao then realized that this person’s status was more important than it in its mother’s heart. When it thought that it was going to die, its feelings reached its peak.
However… She saved it, and her gaze was filled with guilt and apologies.
Tao Tao suddenly felt that it couldn’t be angry any longer—especially because her aura was fragrant, which unwittingly caused it to want to get close to her. Yes, it was going for that at the very beginning.
It was a pity that she seemed to misunderstand. Ah Qiong also kicked it a few times because of this.
Tao Tao looked at its own mother. Thinking of its desperation and sorrow when it ran toward the latter, Tao Tao suddenly felt better.
It closed its eyes and rubbed against Chu Liuyue’s palm.
Chu Liuyue’s heart felt warm. She walked to the side, took out her cauldron and herbs, and started producing pills.
Rumble!
A red fire burned brightly in the cauldron! The huge cave lit up.
Chu Liuyue threw the herbs into the cauldron in an orderly manner. Then, an intense herbal fragrance with a few bitter notes gradually permeated through the air.
Chu Liuyue stared at the fire rising in the cauldron and the medicinal soup slowly forming as she sighed lightly. I have to admit… It feels good to break through to become a stage-eight warrior! I’m more sensitive to my surroundings, and my entire body feels rejuvenated, free, and relaxed.
When I produce pills, it feels much easier. This breakthrough finally digested all the force I snatched from Beiming Ancestor. But other than this, the water droplet still contains more force. That force will only come out during my future breakthroughs.
Chu Liuyue actually felt even luckier that she broke through in Fiend Park. Even though she had caused quite a few fiends to attack her, she didn’t come into actual harm. The important thing was that only those few elders personally witnessed her breakthrough....
Normal cultivators wouldn’t cause such a huge commotion when they broke through to become stage-eight warriors. If more people knew about it, it would be harder to hide her identity.
She didn’t worry about those few people, but when she broke through in the future… She probably had to prepare in advance.
After her abilities were strengthened, Chu Liuyue produced the pills at a faster speed. In no time, she fed Tao Tao the medicine.
She then handled some herbs and covered its wound with them. Luckily, she had quite a few herbs, so they were enough to use.
Chu Liuyue decided that she would claim them from Elder Wan Zheng after she went out.
By the time she finished handling Tao Tao’s injuries, an hour had passed.
Chu Liuyue helped Ah Qiong produce some pills to regulate its circulation.
Even though it didn’t have many superficial injuries, seeing its own child get brutally beaten up and almost get killed… its mental health had sustained quite a bit of trauma.
After handling these things, Ah Qiong turned around and saw that Tao Tao had fallen asleep. Ah Qiong watched it dotingly with much love.
Chu Liuyue patted Ah Qiong. “Rest well today. We can talk about the rest tomorrow.”
…
Without a doubt, this night passed precariously.
On the way back, Elder Bo Yan and Elder Wan Zheng didn’t speak much.
It was only when they were about to separate that Elder Bo Yan then called the other person. “Wan Zheng.”
Elder Wan Zheng turned around.
Elder Bo Yan kept silent for a moment as if he were hesitating. “Did you know of Chu Yue’s condition before?”
Elder Wan Zheng naturally understood what he was asking and shook his head. “I didn’t.”
“He just broke through to become a stage-eight warrior and caused so much commotion…” Elder Bo Yan took a deep breath. “When you have the time, you should ask him how many lightning tribulations he summoned when he broke through to become a stage-seven warrior.”
Elder Wan Zheng nodded in agreement. When Chu Yue first entered the academy, he only said that he was a stage-seven warrior. Back then, quite a few people looked down on him. Even we thought that Chu Yue specialized as a heavenly doctor and did not focus much on the other aspects. However, it seems like that isn’t the case!
“His talent in these few aspects seems exceptional. Wan Zheng, you have a good disciple!” Even Elder Bo Yan couldn’t help but be envious.
Accepting one such student was enough!
Elder Wan Zheng felt elated, and his entire face lit up. “Of course. I have always had good eyesight!”
After all these years in the academy, he had taught quite a few students but accepted very few as his disciples. He didn’t even accept one in recent years.
“Honestly, other than that girl, Chu Yue is the only one I’ve fancied. Originally, I just thought that he was talented as a heavenly doctor, but I didn’t expect…” Elder Wan Zheng seemed reminiscent. “Thinking about it, those two kids are rather alike! They both have unknown backgrounds!”
Elder Bo Yan smiled. “Let’s not talk about the past. If you want to know about his background, won’t you know when you ask Rong Xiu?”
Elder Wan Zheng chuckled and turned around to leave. “That’s not necessary. The kid will say it when he’s willing to. And if he’s not, I’ll still dote on him!”
