“Young Master, Young Master ……” After Mo Wuji hugged Smokey, he could only hear Smokey muttering continuously under her breath.
Smokey’s gaze was lifeless, her body was tattered and emitted a rancid odour. She kept calling out young master under her breath, obviously she didn’t recognise Mo Wuji, but she kept calling out like this.
“Jing, Fei, Lan!” Mo Wuji called out these three words almost word for word, he only knew that the woman who had taken Smokey was called Jing Feilan back then. Now that Smokey was living on the streets and had even gone mad, if he didn’t kill in this woman, he would have lived in vain.
Smokey was covered in dirt, her hair was withered, and Mo Wuji held her in his hands, weighing at most a few tens of kilograms. One could imagine how much Smokey had suffered here.
Because of his inner rage, Mo Wuji clenched his fists so tightly that his nails pierced into his palms, blood flowed all over his hands and he was still oblivious.
“Was it you who kicked Smokey just now?” Mo Wuji stood up with Smokey in his arms and walked closer to the man who had kicked Smokey.
He had once said that he would not let Smokey suffer in the future. But in this turn of events, Smokey had suffered such great hardship. Not only had she become a wanderer with no sense of autonomy, but she was also being bullied at will. He would rather suffer a little himself than have Smokey suffer any more, Smokey had suffered enough with him.
The man swept a glance at Mo Wuji and said coldly, “It was Master who kicked, what can you do to me?”
“Ka-ching! Ah (snap)……” Mo Wuji kicked the man’s knee, and a sound of bones shattering came out. At the same time, Mo Wuji slapped the man’s mouth. He could endure the things that happened to him, he could wait for the right time, but he couldn’t endure Smokey being bullied in front of him. There were some things that could not be endured and when there was no need to endure them, why bother enduring them.
The man’s screams were dispersed by Mo Wuji’s slap, the man sat paralysed on the ground with his hands clasping his legs, several teeth and blood were spat out.
Because there were too many people, and because Mo Wuji was only at the periphery, the fact that he kicked this man’s knee to pieces only drew the attention of the people around him, and didn’t spread further.
The people next to him sensed Mo Wuji’s ferocity and hurriedly made way for an open space. Mo Wuji ignored this guy, picked up Smokey and turned around.
“Is she your friend?” Shen Ren rushed over and asked in Mo Wuji’s ear.
Mo Wuji was about to reply when he heard a gloomy voice say, “You want to leave after beating up someone at the Leaping Immortal Sect Assembly Square?”
The one who spoke was a young man with a long face and thin eyes, this man was carrying a long sword behind his back, his long hair was knotted in an immortal bun, and his feet were wearing cloud boots. Mo Wuji had recently come into contact with many cultivators, one look at this man and he knew that this was a cultivator.
“Wu Jingwu, what do you mean?” Shen Ren, who was standing beside Mo Wuji, angrily chastised.
Only then did Mo Wuji realise that this long-faced, thin-eyed youth and Shen Ren were acquainted with each other, and by the looks of it, this guy had come to trouble him, most likely because he had been dragged into it by Shen Ren.
Wu Jingwu looked at Shen Ren and said, “Senior sister, you shouldn’t be with these lowly mortals, it will lower your status. Master has been unable to find you, so he knew that you would secretly come to the Leaping Immortal Sect Assembly. You also don’t need to go to the Leaping Immortal Sect Assembly to test your spiritual root, even if you are accepted by another sect, do you think that after I reveal your identity, the other sect will still dare to want you?”
After saying these words, Wu Jingwu turned back as if to call someone over.
Shen Ren said in a cold voice, “Wu Jingwu, if you dare to involve Mo Wuji today, I will definitely not let you go in this life. I, Shen Ren, swear here to be true to my word.”
Wu Jingwu’s face was a little ugly as he looked at Mo Wuji and asked in a faint voice, “Who is this person?”
Mo Wuji said to Shen Ren, “Senior Sister Shen, I’m leaving first, see you again sometime.”
After saying that, Mo Wuji hugged Smokey and quickly left, not even paying attention to Wu Jingwu.
“Wuji, what’s going on?” Ding Bu Er chased after him.
Mo Wuji said to Ding Bu’er, “Bu’er, you try to put up a fight first, in case you are chosen by the Immortal Sect, that would be a good thing.”
“Okay, I’ll be right back after the test.” Ding Bu Er didn’t know who Smokey was, and roughly guessed something.
……
Mo Wuji returned to his residence and immediately helped Smokey clean up. He didn’t understand why Smokey had become like this, but seeing Smokey’s skin and bones, he knew that if Smokey hadn’t coincidentally found the Leaping Immortal Sect Assembly today, and then he found her, I’m afraid that he would have never seen Smokey again.
From the fact that after Smokey had lost her autonomous consciousness, she still kept calling out for her young master, Mo Wuji knew that Smokey had been looking for him. This was a kind of obsession, and this obsession guided her to go to places where there were many people. In her subconscious mind, the chances of finding someone in a crowded place was definitely greater.
After personally cooking some rice porridge and feeding Smokey, and waiting for Smokey to fall asleep, Mo Wuji went out and bought a bunch of medicines and came back, and helped Smokey purchase a few sets of clothes.
In Smokey’s case, he wasn’t sure if he could cure her.
In the evening, Ding Bu Er had yet to return, but it was Shen Ren who returned to the restaurant.
“I’m sorry, I’m the one who got you into trouble today.” Shen Ren apologised to Mo Wuji as soon as he returned.
Mo Wuji waved his hand, “It’s nothing, after all, I haven’t even gotten involved yet. That guy is your senior brother?”
Mo Wuji spoke easily, but in reality, he was equally aware that he was in danger at that time. Once he was noticed by any Law Enforcement Immortal Master, he was dead. In front of those Immortal Masters, his life was not even as good as a mole cricket.
Shen Ren shook her head, not really wanting to talk about Wu Jingwu, instead, she looked at the medicine that Mo Wuji was boiling, then looked at Mo Wuji’s room and said, “Shall I go in and help you look at your friend?”
“You know medicine?” Mo Wuji asked doubtfully.
Shen Ren hesitated for a moment, but still said, “My father is an Earth Dan Master ……”
“What is an Earth Dan Master?” Mo Wuji was still puzzled.
Shen Ren looked at Mo Wuji with wide eyes for a while before asking, “Aren’t you a pill refiner? You even spent 370,000 gold coins on a set of pill refining equipment, don’t you know what an Earth Dan Master is?”
Mo Wuji laughed, “I’m not certified as a pill refiner, I just purchased some herbs for myself and came back to practice.”
Shen Ren breathlessly stroked her forehead, but still explained, “Pills are classified into nine grades of spirit pills, first grade spirit pills to third grade spirit pills are human grade spirit pills. Fourth grade to sixth grade are earth grade spirit pills, seventh grade to ninth grade are heaven grade spirit pills, and above ninth grade are immortal grade spirit pills. Those who can concoct first grade spirit pills are called first grade spirit pills masters, and so on, those who can concoct ninth grade heavenly pills are ninth grade heavenly pills masters.”
“Then wouldn’t an Earth Pill Master be able to refine at least a fourth grade Earth Spirit Pill? How many grades of Earthly Dan Master is your father? Isn’t an Earthly Pill Master amazing?” Mo Wuji dropped a few questions one after another.
Shen Ren was even more speechless, and was silent for more than ten seconds before he said, “There isn’t even a single Heavenly Dan Master in the entire Star River Empire, so wouldn’t you say that an Earthly Dan Master is terrific?”
Mo Wuji hurriedly stood up and said to Shen Ren, “Please also ask Senior Sister Shen to help me go in and take a look at Yan’er.”
“Is her name Smokey? A very nice name.” Shen Ren had already walked towards Mo Wuji’s room as she spoke, she was curious to know what kind of girl was this Smokey Er that Mo Wuji was thinking about.
She and Mo Wuji had been living together for almost a month, and even though they had not crossed paths much, she still had some understanding of Mo Wuji. Her looks were definitely first class, and her figure was something that would make 99 per cent of women jealous. But Mo Wuji’s passion for her was not half because of her looks and body, she was very clear that Mo Wuji’s passion for her and even inviting her to stay in his room was because she knew more about cultivation than he did, not because she was a beautiful woman.
