Master of Untold Daos
chapter-435-30041322

He heard a noise coming from Chen Lingyu’s littlest shop. He peeked over in passing, not caring in the least.

It’s night, you know. Any who looks to trouble fourth senior sister doesn’t know the meaning of death.

To have the balls and go to fourth senior sister at night, you have my deepest respect.

Uh, I’d better think of a few lines for his gravestone next year. “Unruly flowers almost overwhelms the eye; shallow grass hides the horse’s hooves fleeting by.(1) Not bad at all. By this time next year, it’s going to be the beginning of spring. These verses are a perfect description for pushing up daisies.”

Prince Long Qiao followed by a detail of a hundred Earth Immortals looked around and seeing no one, “Seal off the area!”

The people moved and trapped Chen Lingyu’s littlest shop inside.

They were vigilant to their surroundings. A quack had a rotten character, but the number she saved wasn’t small.

If she found out, things would go from bad to worse.

This quack could be rated as divine. Even the dead were brought to life. Who wouldn’t be tempted to take such a person as a retainer?

Long Qiao had no right to mess with such a divine quack. But since it was Yan Shengxiao’s order…

He arrived before the shop and saw Chen Yu threading needle as she worked on a brocade under the warm candlelight.

Prince bowed, “Fairy Star Dragon invites healer for a talk.”

Chen Yu swiveled her eyes over, hardly caring, “Like I said, if you want healing, you’re more than welcome. I’m not in the habit of making house calls.”

Prince Long Qiao smiled and watched her peach flower embroidery, “Such an elegant flower.”

Chen Yu didn’t even look at him, “You can see, right?”

“Yes, I can. Why?”

“The door is that way. You know the drill.”

“Healer does not wish to come?”

Chen Yu didn’t even deign a response and continued her work.

I gave Master a peach blossom sachet(2) and now I need to give head senior sister one.

Long Qiao said, “Since healer does not wish to be courteous, I am forced to do it myself.”

Chen Yu sent seven embroidering needles into his body, stopping him dead in his tracks.

What was even scarier was that his immortal power was sealed.

Chen Yu glanced at him, “As one who knows how to save a life, I also know how to take one.”

Chen Yu’s tender smile plucked at one’s heartstrings. Long Qiao was sweating buckets, soaking his clothes and dripping on the ground. Pain wracked his body, yet he couldn’t budge an inch, and even speaking was impossible.

It was like being touched by death itself, making him collapse.

This quack’s skill was insane!

She could not only save a life but also take it!

Chen Yu said flatly, “A long time ago, I forgot the meaning of time, I had no concept of it. I stood there beneath a peach tree, listening to Master’s tale. It was called The Boy Who Cried Wolf.”

“Once upon a time, there was a little boy who liked to play a lot and shouted at the villagers ‘Woof! Woof!’ The people rushed to drive the wolves away only to find there was none. The boy was thrilled and cried a second time. The villagers came out again yet no wolf in sight. The third time, the wolves came and when the boy cried, no one believed him. The wolf entered the village and ate the boy, while also harming the others.”

Long Qiao was clueless about where she was going with this. Is there a connection?

Chen Yu continued, “From that moment on, I understood something.”

Prince Long Qiao wanted to say, Don’t lie?

Chen Yu continued, “How could I let other people sleep next to me on a narrow bed?(3) If there’s a wolf, kill it! This way the following wouldn’t happen. I don’t like the ending and rather think that beating the wolf dead is better.”

“Just like you, just like the one behind you. I need to give him a fitting warning.”

Chen Yu fished out a needle, “Now tell me, who sent you? You heard this tale and should know what it means to tell lies, no?”

Long Qiao found he could speak, “Fairy Star Dragon!”

Chen Yu thought, It’s the one who is unclear about Master, yet also avoid him!

Avoiding Master is good, but this unclear part, is the worst. Chen Yu said, “Come, we’re going to see that Fairy Star Dragon.”

Chen Yu plucked the needles and prince Long Qiao fell like a ton of bricks. For no less than two hours he was intimately aware of Chen Yu’s skills. Her power was terrifying!

Long Qiao was meek as he led her to Yan Shengxiao, not a peep all the way.

This is no ordinary quack!

Come daylight, Chen Ling’er found herself out of her element. She turned to ask prince Long Qiao, “What am I doing here?”

Prince Long Qiao: …

He exclaimed inside, Even her memory is divine. But Chen Yu’s threat still lingered in his mind, “Doctor wants to see Fairy Star Dragon and I am taking you to her.”

Chen Ling’er understood, “Oh, so that’s how it is. Let’s go, now I know what Chen Yu was thinking.”

Three days later at noon, Long Qiao said, “We’ll arrive in one hour.”

Chen Ling’er turned to the sky, This looks like trouble. I can’t go now. I’d better leave it to that murderous Chen Yu.

“Rest!”

Long Qiao was stunned, “We’ll rest here then.”

When the sun set for good, Chen Yu took in the camp around her, “How long before we arrive?”

“An hour.”

Chen Yu nodded, “Lead the way. How strong is Fairy Star Dragon? She can’t be trash like you no?”

“Hardly, hardly!”
