《The Healer Demands Payment!》Chapter 34 - Cheeky Fox
Advertisement
Meng Qi calmly looked at Su Junmo. since she couldn’t hide her name from this fox, might as well admit it blatantly: “We don’t seem to be familiar.”
“What do you mean?” Su Junmo was lost.
“My name is Meng Qi. But we are not familiar enough for you to call me… Xiao Qi?” Meng Qi repeated.
“Oh. So your name is Meng Qi! Meng Qi? Wait! Meng Qi!!!” Su Junmo suddenly raised his voice and looked at Meng Qi in surprise: “Are you Meng Qi? Eastern Realm, Qingfeng Valley, Meng Qi! Hmm… A cultivator at the Qi Condensation stage! It is really Qi Condensation!”
A little speechless, Meng Qi looked at Su Junmo and nodded: “Yes, that’s me.”
She didn’t know the countless thoughts that were rapidly turning in the man’s mind.
Su Junmo looked at Meng Qi silently, a Qi Condensation cultivator, why did the Lord ask him to find her? In Three Thousand Worlds, that was simply an ant-like existence! And her small sect, Qingfeng Valley, was probably no different. Among countless sects that existed in this realm, it was entirely out of rank.
Find? Find her for what?!
Su Junmo looked at Meng Qi carefully. Everything was evident at one glance, what else did he need to see? A cultivator at the peak Qi Condensation stage, even when she breakthrough, it was still a Foundation Establishment. And…her medical cultivation actually better. Second rank? Or probably third? But still not enough, ah.
Array…right, her array! The one carved on the silver medical knife in her hand!
Su Junmo didn’t specialize in the study of the array, but he had followed his Lord for a long time and saw a lot. Coupled with the years he spent traveling all around the Three Thousand Worlds, he had seen plenty of arrays used by countless cultivators. He could tell at a glance that the array used by Meng Qi was quite different from the typical arrays used by human cultivators in Three Thousand Worlds. It seemed to be more similar to the ones used by Celestial Demon, especially the Celestial Demon’s White Tiger clan.
So…
Su Junmo’s mind moved fast, and the expression on his face turned into unbelief.
Who is this girl?
Lord, he has never paid attention to a member of the opposite gender!
Many demon cultivators coveted the Lord for his beauty, for his power. Countless women took the initiative to throw themselves into his arms. However, the Lord never spared a glance.
So who is this girl?
Su Junmo looked at Meng Qi up and down. Her appearance was good enough. Although her expression was a bit cold, some people liked passionate and unrestrained types, while others liked the cold and aloof ones.
“They…” Meng Qi turned her head and looked at Su Junmo, who was blatantly staring at herself, “Are you going to let them like that?”
Sikong Yan and the red fox women were lying on the ground, wrapped in green vines. Fresh blood was mixed the fallen leaves and dirt on the ground, and all of them looked dirty in a sorry condition.

“Oh, I almost forgot.” Su Junmo turned around and raised his hand to use a spell. The air seemed to be torn apart by him, revealing a dark, cold crack. “Go back!” With a wave of Su Junmo’s sleeve, he rolled up Sikong Yan and the others and threw them into the crack.
“Huh-” Su Junmo exhaled a long breath, then turned to look at Meng Qi again, asking directly: “So, you are that Xiao Qi?”
He met Meng Qi twice in Beyond The Heaven. The first time was when she was with Xue Jinwen, who submitted the Beiming pill sent for auction that day. Xue Jinwen didn’t tell him that Xiao Qi was the medical cultivator who refined the Beiming pill, and Su Junmo also didn’t ask. But those Beiming pills were all the second realm. Would a fifth or sixth rank medical cultivator refine a second realm, low-grade medicine? However, if she was actually still in the Qi Condensation stage, it was natural for her to refine second realm Beiming pills!
So is it her? Is it really her? That Xiao Qi!
With a bottle of the second realm Beiming pill, she single-handedly shook the entire Profound Auction House, letting the people from big medical sects squat for days, all just to find this mysterious medical cultivator!
It’s her!
No wonder the Lord asked him to help raise the price on the auction day…huh? Later, didn’t this girl also try to follow the Lord? Then the Lord asked him to find Meng Qi of the Qingfeng Valley in the Eastern Realm… Su Junmo suddenly wanted to clasp! His brain made up a lot of conjecture, but he tried his best to hold his mouth shut.
Meng Qi, Chu Tianfeng, and Qin Xiumo all looked at him inexplicably.
Su Junmo stared at the silver medical knife that was still in Meng Qi’s hand, then at the circle of the arrays on the ground.
He got it! If this girl is the Xiao Qi who refined the Beiming Pill, then everything makes sense!
Su Junmo stared at the silver medical knife that was still in Meng Qi’s hand, then at the circle of arrays on the ground.
He got it! If this girl is the Xiao Qi who refined the Beiming Pill, then everything makes sense!
The Lord’s whereabouts were unknown, but he appeared twice in Beyond The Heaven. The first time was when that Xiao Qi auctioned the Beiming pill, and the Lord ordered him to help raise the price. After the Beiming pill auction was over, the Lord left immediately. The second time was a few days ago when Lord ordered him to come to the Eastern Realm to kill Sikong Yan! Killing Sikong Yan was nothing, but it happened to save this girl again!
He got it, ah!
He finally got everything!
Su Junmo looked at Meng Qi, there was a wary and cautiousness inside her eyes. This was normal. Although most human cultivators in the Three Thousand Worlds could accept a friendly and virtuous demon cultivator like himself, some were still very wary of the demons. Especially after that idiot Sikong Yan and his immortal devouring vine almost hurt Meng Qi and her comrades.

Su Junmo showed a smile that he thought to be the most gentle and elegant, and respectfully bowed to Meng Qi: “Fellow Daoist Meng.”
Meng Qi: “…”
——This was no longer an ordinary greeting between friendly cultivators. The gesture Su Junmo made was much more polite, like treating a respected senior or superior. Moreover, that smile of his even looked like…currying favor?
Meng Qi looked at the white-robed man in front of her with some doubt and confusion. In her memory, the chattery fox, when his real white fox form was revealed, was indeed noisy and overbearing, and his personality was a bit like a child. But after transformed back into a human form, he always kept his proud and aloof face. Even when facing the leader of a large sect like Fentian Palace, he was neither humble nor arrogant, and his attitude could even be called indifferent.
Of course, at that time, Su Junmo had already regarded Chu Tianfeng as a love rival and didn’t have a good impression of the entire Fentian Palace.
But now…
Meng Qi hesitated, this guy still hasn’t meet Lu Qingran yet, right?
Chu Tianfeng quickly exchanged glances with Qin Xiumo. Both of them saw the same doubt in each other’s eyes: Did this guy has also been rescued by Meng Qi in the previous life?
Did he also remember something?
Exactly how many people and animals did Meng Qi save?!
“Fellow Daoist Meng.” Su Junmo smiled at Meng Qi: “Where are you going? I’m currently free and maybe can help you a little.”
Meng Qi got goosebumps all over her body. She had seen Su Junmo enthusiastically pursuing Lu Qingran before. When a demon cultivator wanted to be romantic, they were far better than the Three Thousand Worlds cultivators. Even so, he did not show such an almost-flattering attitude towards his beloved Lu Qingran.
“We have enough hands. Don’t dare to bother fellow Daoist Su.” Meng Qi bowed in return. As long as she remembered the torturous noise from her previous life, the three months that almost made her nerve break down, she absolutely didn’t want to be near Su Junmo at all. “Thank you for your help just now.” She cupped her fists to Su Junmo again.
Meng Qi then remembered the red fox young master who had been injured by Su Junmo. Later in her previous life, Su Junmo would also be harmed by the Immortal Devouring Vine. It must be a more powerful red fox demon cultivator’s doing, and also using a stronger immortal devouring vine. Meng Qi recalled of the sorry state of the big white fox. Although Su Junmo simply came under the order to clean up the Demon Realm’s mess, he indeed had saved them.
Meng Qi hesitated, and finally warned earnestly: “The immortal devouring vine is so powerful, fellow Daoist Su should know more than we do.” This was for sure. After all, all her knowledge of the Immortal Devouring Vine came from this chattery fox. “You’ve harmed Sikong Yan, be careful of his elders’ revenge.” After finished speaking, Meng Qi nodded to Su Junmo: “Farewell.”
“Let’s go.” She turned her head and said to Chu Tianfeng and Qin Xiumo.
The three people continued to walk towards the depths of the forest. It seemed that Sikong Yan’s group was the one who attacked the joint force of Qingfeng Valley and Fentian Palace. Now they had been dealt with, there should be no more danger to the main camp. As long as they brought back the five elements blue crane before the time limit, those disciples could be cured.
Meng Qi relaxed a little and began to carefully observe the surrounding area. To save Su Junmo in her previous life, she tracked and hunted several five elements blue cranes, and was quite familiar with the habits of this monster bird.
Meng Qi walked ahead, with Chu Tianfeng and Qin Xiumo on the left and right, about an arm’s distance behind. The two remained wordless, but exchanged several glances in silence.
“Fellow Daoist Meng! Fellow Daoist Meng!” Before they could walk far, Su Junmo’s voice came from behind. The white figure suddenly arrived and stopped exactly next to Meng Qi.
“I’m lost.” Su Junmo said innocently: “Fellow Daoist Meng, please guide me until we leave the forest.”
Meng Qi: “…”
Can you choose a better excuse?!
Can a person who could accurately find Sikong Yan in the middle of wild mountainous forests get lost?
Su Junmo had made up his mind. The Lord ordered him to come, obviously to protect his future spouse, who was still in the Qi Condensation stage. As for why he didn’t come in person? This was not a question that Su Junmo dared to ask.
Anyway, he won’t leave even they kill him!
“Fellow Daoist Meng.” Su Junmo said confidently: “Please bother you to take me out of here. I will definitely be grateful.”
“We don’t need your gratefulness… ” Behind Meng Qi, Chu Tianfeng said leisurely. “Pay spirit stones, and we will take you!”
“Huh?” Su Junmo’s eyes lit up, “Just spirit stones?” He grabbed a handful of spirit stones from his storage space and stuffed it into Meng Qi’s hands enthusiastically: “Is this enough?” He thought for a while and added, “Let me stay with you for three months!”

Ardent Tears
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge.] Youth is something to be treasured, for it is the foundation upon which all experiences are built. It is also a time when some may Awaken as Ardents or Stoics; individuals who can draw great power from the Resonance of emotions. Rowan’efrii is one such youth, but at what cost? This is the story of her journey; of love and loss, friendship and isolation, fortune and tragedy. What can a girl do when she is faced with all the wonders and horrors that the world has to offer? Live! In the Kingdom of Særis, a group of renegade lords are seeking to enslave young adolescents to forge them into Ardents and Stoics. Those that fall will be used in a war against the Azure King. Will they break Rowan, or will they turn her into the very thing that will destroy them. Ardent Tears focuses heavily on all kinds of relationships including: romantic, familial, platonic and sexual. The MC is a clear example of this, especially as she is poly. Because of this, I gave the story my own Poly Tag. This won't be anything like a Harem story and it is being written by someone who is polyamorous (me). There is also going to be several LGBT themes throughout which can't be represented through Tags. Ardent Tears is now on Top Web Fiction. If you like the story, I'd appreciate it if you give me a boost by following this link and pressing boost. Massive thanks to KrazeKode for the amazing cover art. And special thanks to MelasD and Selkie for the shout-outs.

Grinning Enigma
Freddy is a very bad boy. Meets some people that know what he did. He tries to escape punishment, makes it [Redacted]. Freddy might be a mass-murdering troll, but he isn’t a bad person, right? Right? Disclaimer: This is not an instruction manual. If you want to be a horrible human being, go figure it out yourself. Autopsy: Writing this story gave me some degree of insight into how much I've managed to fuck up my own personality by suppressing basic needs. Now I hate myself even more. It started as a story where the MC was supposed to be a blend of the NZ-land shooter and other cancerous personalities. That way I wouldn't feel bad about torturing him. Instead I ended up witnessing all the worst aspects of my own personality, or lack thereof. I'm a horrid person, I can't even bring myself to do what's the only right thing at this point.
