Chapter 389: 389: Cleanup
At the start, Jiang Xiaobai wasn’t very proficient in cleaning the three polyps, but he became incredibly swift and speedy later.
In almost an hour, he had already cleaned up a third of all polyps.
Even though this woman showed no emotional fluctuations, not even a change in expression, or a ripple in her eyes,
Jiang Xiaobai knew that the remnant bit of her consciousness must be extremely pained.
After all, body and spirit were intertwined, and a body’s pain could indeed stimulate the spirit!
Jiang Xiaobai also knew that he could not entirely clean up all the polyps at once; it would cause even a celestial deity to die of excruciating pain.
Afterward, Jiang Xiaobai ceased the cleaning and retrieved his spiritual power.
Later, Jiang Xiaobai controlled a token, letting the woman ingest a pill which could not only nourish her body but also repair some damages to her spirit.
For three continuous days, all the polyps in the meridians were finally cleaned up. Under Jiang Xiaobai’s careful nursing, the woman’s meridians had nearly recovered, and in a few days, they would be entirely healed.
At the same time, other problems within her body were fixed one by one by Jiang Xiaobai, except for the spirit part, which was left to be cleared completely.
Jiang Xiaobai was not proficient in this aspect as he hadn’t reached the stage of Dividing the Gods, and naturally did not understand much about the spirit.
This time, Gu Ning had to do the job.
Her power was strong; this small matter was merely a piece of cake to her.
“After removing the formation in the spirit and fusing it, she would finally regain consciousness.”
Jiang Xiaobai said slowly, “Master, if something unexpected happens, remember to protect me.”
Gu Ning rolled her eyes at Jiang Xiaobai, “Look at your lack of backbone, even Dognut is calmer.”
Jiang Xiaobai loosened his shoulders, rubbed Dognut’s head, and quietly stepped back a few steps, fearing that there might be some accidents.
After all, it was his first time dealing with something like this.
Seeing Jiang Xiaobai acting like this, the corner of Gu Ning’s eyes twitched.
“I never thought you so bold, yet you are acting so cowardly now?”
Mockingly, Gu Ning suddenly put her hand on the woman’s head.
The next moment, a scream escaped from the woman’s mouth.
Again, after not receiving commands, the Blood Warrior had an unusual reaction.
Jiang Xiaobai understood that the pain the last trace of the woman’s spirit felt came from the soul; it was a heart-wrenching pain that ordinary people could not bear.
Luckily, Gu Ning was very powerful and quick. She even used her power to protect the woman’s spirit during the cleansing process, otherwise the woman would have died in agony.
Following that, Gu Ning crushed the token in her hands, and Jiang Xiaobai could clearly see a trace of light blue smoke emerging from the token.
Gu Ning caught the light-blue smoke with two fingers, and slapped it towards the woman’s head.
Then Gu Ning took a few steps back.
Suddenly, the immobile woman knelt down on the ground, holding her head in both hands, looking extremely panicked.
Seeing this, Jiang Xiaobai knew that they had succeeded.
The woman, holding back the pain, lifted her tear-streaked face to look at Jiang Xiaobai and Gu Ning, with gratitude all over her eyes.
She wanted to speak, but didn’t have the chance.
Because before she could speak, her eyes rolled back and she fainted.
“You see, nothing bad happened. You really are a piece of work,” Gu Ning said grudgingly, “You act timid when you shouldn’t act timid, and act timid when you shouldn’t. Ridiculous.”
Jiang Xiaobai could only chuckle awkwardly a few times, not daring to say anything more. He quickly took out a round pill that he had previously refined with the Ghost Mother Flower and stuffed it into the woman’s mouth.
“Our duty is accomplished. Now we just need to wait for her to recover slowly in the next few days.”
“Master, you’re not in a hurry to leave yet, are you?”
Jiang Xiaobai looked at Gu Ning and chuckled.
Gu Ning frowned deeply, “What, do you want me to accompany you for your play?”
“Keep dreaming. I have plenty of things to do. It’s already rare for me to find time to meet you. Don’t push your luck.”
“Hehe, no, I just want you to watch her here while I go to West Wind City to see what’s going on over there.”
Jiang Xiaobai chuckled, “I’ve been hiding in the mountains and forests for too long, I have no idea what’s happening outside. I wonder if the ancient race has noticed the anomaly of the spiritual stone.”
“Fine, this is the last time. When you come back, I’ll have to leave.” Gu Ning nodded.
Jiang Xiaobai then departed without the slightest hesitation and headed towards West Wind City.
Changing his makeup and appearance along the way, Jiang Xiaobai changed from a handsome young man to a fellow with a vulgar face and shifty eyes.
Looking at his reflection in the mirror, the corner of Jiang Xiaobai’s mouth twitched slightly.
“With this appearance, I guess I would be the type that people want to beat up.”
“No matter, who would associate me with this appearance, right?”
Muttering to himself, Jiang Xiaobai walked directly into West Wind City.
And sure enough, after entering the city, the glances people gave him were full of disdain, with many people avoiding him.
Even some figures who looked like formidable figures in the jianghu were rolled up their sleeves and ready to come over when they saw Jiang Xiaobai looking at them, which forced Jiang Xiaobai to quickly flee.
“Didn’t expect this disguise to be so successful. But it’s still the acting skills that count. Not only the facial features have to be vulgar, the temperament must be vulgar too.”
Jiang Xiaobai laughed and then began to stroll leisurely around West Wind City.
Meanwhile, in Qing Luan City
Ao Cheng, masked, and Zhuang Huanling, veiled, were standing in front of the ancient race’s auction house, where people came and went. It was the busiest place in the entire city.
“We’ve come late. The ancient race’s auction has ended.”
Zhuang Huanling shook her head in a sigh.
They were here to track Jiang Xiaobai’s footsteps, naturally.
Since Jiang Xiaobai left early, they had no idea about his whereabouts in the Northern State after leaving, so they had to search one place at a time.
After all, they knew that Jiang Xiaobai was here to stir things up and, if he made a scene, there would be rumors.
Just, a few days passed by, and no incidents happened, which baffled Ao Cheng, thinking Jiang Xiaobai was here for a vacation.
Then they heard about the auction of the ancient race, but unfortunately, when they heard about it, it was too late, even less to speak of hurrying here now.
“See, I told you, it’s a waste of time.” Ao Cheng looked unhappily at Zhuang Huanling by his side.
Zhuang Huanling didn’t say anything, just stood silently for a bit, then giggled.
“We didn’t come for nothing. Jiang Xiaobai, that dogish guy, has been here.”
“How do you know?”
“Don’t you forget that Jiang Xiaobai is good at disguising. Just now, people were discussing the suddenly appearing Void Prince. If anyone wants to create trouble, then this Void Prince is the most suspicious.”
