Chapter 82 Treating Wounds
Su Yu opened her eyes and stared blankly into space.
How exactly did things turn out this way?
Today marks approximately five days since the day we were teleported away from Misty Moon City. The Four Sects Tournament is presumably over, and the disciples of Yuanfu have all returned home.
Although it is unknown why the Demon Lord suddenly attacked Twelve, given the status of Yuanfu and the fact that the Demon Lord completely ignored Wan Qin at the time, the other disciples of Yuanfu should be fine.
...No, we're practically mortal enemies now. Let's just affectionately call that damned Demon Lord "Old Demon."
Su Yu sat up abruptly, her face grim.
That brat needs to be taught a lesson.
Without a word, they set up a formation outside the cave to prevent him from leaving, and even connected it with their divine sense. If he broke the formation, the other party would sense it and might even suffer a backlash.
When will his brain finally get better?
Su Yu used the system's teleportation function to help Feng Huaijin escape the old demon's pursuit. The teleportation distance was very long, and the system consumed a lot of energy, but the specific location was completely random.
Two disheveled figures suddenly appeared amidst the dense shadows of the trees.
In order to keep the system running for ultra-long distances without shutting it down, Su Yu poured in a large amount of her own demonic energy, causing her internal demonic energy reserves to plummet.
There's nothing we can do about it; if we get too close, the old devil can catch up with us without much effort.
Feng Huaijin fared even worse; his back was scorched by the corrosive demonic energy, leaving a large hole in his clothes and a bluish-black discoloration that was still sizzling.
Corrosion continues.
But he looked dejected, as if he couldn't feel the pain.
Once he stood still, Feng Huaijin ignored his injuries and reached out to pull Su Yu, who was trying to rest, into his arms.
Looks like his brain isn't fully recovered yet.
Before he could speak, Feng Huaijin rested his chin on his shoulder and began to whisper in his ear like a ghost, his words sounding very sad.
"I'm sorry, I'm too weak, I have no ability to fight back at all."
It's okay, I can't beat your brother either, as long as I can escape.
Su Yu had learned to ignore the speech of the mentally challenged version of Feng Twelve. He walked forward without changing his expression, carrying the large demon on his back, preparing to find a flat place or a cave to rest and recover his magic power, and also to treat Feng Twelve's injuries.
"Feng, Huai, Jin!"
I was holding the brat too tightly and he couldn't walk. If he weren't injured, I would have loved to give him an over-the-shoulder throw.
Upon hearing Su Yu's warning of danger, the hand holding the slender waist in his arms trembled involuntarily. Instead of letting go, he dared to tighten his grip even more.
He seemed lost in thought, frantically pleading, "Don't go! I'll train hard and fight back! Brother, don't abandon me! I'll become stronger! Please don't leave me..."
He started rambling incoherently, spouting all sorts of random things.
“Brother, you’ve been eating my cooking all these years. If I’m not around, you won’t like the food outside. Also, I’m the one who buys and coordinates your clothes and accessories. You never even think about buying new clothes. You need me to take care of you, right? And…”
If you keep beeping, all his privacy will be gone.
Su Yu numbly reached out to cover his mouth, but didn't see Feng Huaijin behind her muttering something. His eyes gradually deepened, and he pressed down Su Yu's raised hand, murmuring, "So I can't live without my brother, and my brother can't live without me either."
But he's not strong enough right now; the outside world is too dangerous.
I always felt that my partner should be able to provoke the whole world without any worries.
Su Yu didn't know what Feng Huaijin was thinking; she was just exhausted.
He grabbed the other's hand, gave him a few healing pills, released his divine sense to explore the environment, let him lean on his back, and slowly walked towards a cave he had identified, all the while comforting his younger brother whose brain had been damaged by the abnormal surge of his bloodline.
"Yes, yes, although the world will continue as usual without anyone, you are of course my most important demon."
In that case, the most important person is Ayao.
"Of course I won't abandon you just because you're not strong enough. You're doing great now. Have you forgotten? When I found you, you were only at the Qi Refining stage, and your cultivation speed wasn't as fast as it is now. Didn't you still become my brother?"
"I found a relatively clean cave. Let's rest there for a while and get your back wound treated. Be good, I can't abandon you."
As Su Yu walked and talked, she didn't forget to absorb the scattered demonic energy in the world to replenish herself.
He said something, and Feng Huaijin, leaning on his shoulder, would give a low "hmm," the sound growing softer and softer until it was completely silent. His neck sank, and only shallow breathing could be heard.
Su Yu turned her head and looked at Twelve. His face was still a little pale, probably because he was slow to realize that his wound was hurting a lot.
The old demon's demonic energy was too corrosive; ordinary healing pills could only slow down the rate at which his wounds continued to corrode and spread.
After settling Twelve in, we must go and see if there are any towns or medicine shops outside the forest, and find an alchemist to analyze and solve the problem of wound corrosion.
After all, they didn't know whether this corrosive power was an innate ability of the old demon or a technique he had cultivated by absorbing some random things.
Ideally, there would be a branch of the ghost market here, which would make things much easier.
Su Yu pondered, then used her demonic energy to support Feng Huaijin, half-carrying and half-supporting him as they headed to the cave.
This is probably the abandoned lair of some large magical beast. The cave no longer has the fishy smell of magical beasts, only some scattered bones, and the entrance is still covered with green vines that cover the mountain walls.
It may have a migratory habit, or it may have simply moved to a different location. There's no need to worry about the original cave owner returning anytime soon.
Of course, if they're already dead, that would save you a lot of trouble.
Su Yu led Feng Huaijin deeper inside, where the wind was sheltered but the air was fresh. They used a cleaning spell to solve the hygiene problem and then laid out the bedding they had brought from their storage ring. A temporary dwelling was almost ready.
Having traveled extensively for many years, Su Yu and Feng Huaijin had an incredibly complete set of items in their storage rings. Now that they had landed in an unknown place, Su Yu quickly adapted and skillfully built a nest.
After laying Feng Huaijin down on the stone bed with a mattress, Su Yu calmly tore open the tattered clothes on his back to prevent them from touching his wounds.
The wound was the size of a large bowl, and the flesh was mangled and bloody.
"Bear with it."
After speaking calmly, Su Yu picked up a sharp dagger and carefully removed the completely rotten and dead parts with steady hand. Then, she quickly stuffed a high-grade healing pill into Feng Huaijin's mouth and made him swallow it.
It can't cure the problem completely, but it can at least slow down the corrosion and speed up wound healing.
Feng Huaijin swallowed it without a word, but cold sweat had already broken out on his forehead.
Although it was a bit immoral, Su Yu still felt for a moment that the pain point was actually quite good, because that way he wouldn't have to listen to the broken Twelve babbling strange things in his ear, or have to endure his strange desire for closeness.
That looks a lot like courtship.
But who knows if this is because Feng Huaijin has lost his mind?
After all, Twelve had already received reassurance from him many times in the first few years regarding questions like whether he would leave, and hadn't thought about that question for almost ten years.
Who knew that now that his brain has broken down, he's starting to ask all sorts of questions and worry about everything.
He finally raised his child to be so healthy and successful, and now he's back to square one. How hard did it take for him?
Su Yu calmly tidied up the rags and used a small fireball spell to burn away the waste blood and flesh.
Although he wasn't an expert, he could still use some simple spells of other attributes.
After tidying up, he sat on the edge of the bed and whispered to Feng Huaijin, "Go to sleep for a while, nothing will happen."
Feng Huaijin trusted him and closed his eyes.
Maybe a quarter of an hour later, or maybe not, in any case, Feng Huaijin felt something was wrong, and then he opened his eyes and saw Su Yu dressed up as if she was about to go out.
He panicked instantly and tried to get up, supporting himself with his hands.
