《Poison Physician Consort (1)》Chapter 140: Dangerous Situation
Advertisement
Bai Luochu utilized her movement skill to the fullest while dodging Feng Wan'er's strikes and Pei Qingfeng who was standing at the side was amazed.
He never thought that other than her extraordinary medical skills, Bai Luochu would also be able to hold her own against someone from the Phoenix King Valley. She was even able to borrow the power of their attacks to edge closer to her goal. It seemed as though Bai Luochu was hiding a lot of secrets.
Pei Qingfeng thought about it and shook his head as he snickered to himself. He muttered, "Looks like you're hiding a lot of secrets... I've underestimated you. For someone able to stand up against so many princes, how can you be an ordinary person?"
Pei Rumo was shocked as well. However, his expression didn't change. Wasn't this lass a wastrel? In half a month, she improved so much! Was she pretending to be a wastrel all this while? Nothing more needs to be said. She is able to hold up against Feng Wan'er's onslaught while fighting against other opponents, all while moving in the direction of the Green Flame Eagle! If she started her cultivation earlier, who would be able to fight against her? Even the evil dao witch and her lover, Lu Wenshu, might not be her opponent... However, one of them was already buried underneath the earth and the other withdrew from worldly affairs after the incident. Will there come a day when I will no longer be able to make use of this lass?
As for Pei Wuchen, he noticed Bai Luochu not because of her exquisite movement skill. It was because Feng Wan'er was hell bent on killing her. Pei Wuchen wondered about how someone like Divine Physician Bai was able to cause Feng Wan'er to go crazy. He felt that there was something suspicious about it and recalled his previous guess. He was stunned for a second. Could it be that Wan'er already knew about the engagement? Is Luo Chu actually Divine Physician Bai?

Pei Wuchen shook his head and suppressed his bold thought. It seemed as though he had to find a time to settle this matter once and for all.
At that moment, Pei Rumo and Pei Wuchen's interest towards Bai Luochu exceeded their interest towards the Green Flame Eagle. If Feng Wan'er could see the look on Pei Wuchen's face right now, she would probably disregard the fact that there were thousands of eyes looking at her and give her all to turn Bai Luochu into a pile of mincemeat.
Bai Luochu wasn't feeling too well at the moment. She had to focus her attention on killing her enemies on one side while avoiding Feng Wan'er's crazed attacks. She also had to pay attention to the Green Flame Eagle's wellbeing.
By this time, the Green Flame Eagle had already given birth and it was protecting its children while it battled against groups of people. Ordinarily, even if it had to protect its young, a simple wave of its wings would send its attackers flying. However, it had just entered into a state of weakness after giving birth. The Green Flame Eagle didn't possess the energy to fight so many people at the same time. With the Phoenix King Valley's disciples combined attacks, it quickly fell to a disadvantage. Right now, there were many cuts on its wings and the Green Flame Eagle portrayed a sorry picture.
Bai Luochu saw that the Green Flame Eagle was hurt and a trace of anxiousness formed in her heart. She was the one who saved it years ago. Today, she was determined to do it again. She wouldn't allow anyone to lay their hands on the Green Flame Eagle!
Bai Luochu no longer cared about revealing her identity as she pulled out the poison needles from her belt. The needles shot towards the attackers surrounding the Green Flame Eagle at an astounding speed. The poison on the needles was non-lethal, but anyone who was affected by it would be unable to circulate their spirit qi. After all, Bai Luochu's goal wasn't to kill as many experts as possible. Her goal was to save the Green Flame Eagle.

When everyone realized that they could no longer circulate their spirit qi, they quickly retreated in order to not die a meaningless death. After all, without spirit qi, their lives were like cabbages. Anyone would be able to harvest them.
When everyone left, a huge gap was created and Bai Luochu charged towards it. She wanted to break the restriction set up by the members of the Phoenix King Valley.
Seeing as things were going south, Feng Wan'er knew that she could no longer hide on the sidelines to assassinate Bai Luochu. After all, everyone's attention was on the Green Flame Eagle. They were too close to it and if anyone realized that she was the one who killed the divine physician, the reputation of the Phoenix King Valley would go down the drain. After all, she was just a cheap servant girl. It wouldn't be difficult for Feng Wan'er to get rid of her in the future.
Feng Wan'er immediately withdrew and charged towards the main troops of the Phoenix King Valley. The Phoenix King Valley had already set up a restriction around the Green Flame Eagle and those not from the same faction would be unable to approach the spirit beast.
The opening she painstakingly created was quickly filled up. No matter how much Bai Luochu wanted to avoid fighting, it wasn't possible. Her enemies were like locust, charging in wave after wave. In the end, Bai Luochu had to take them on while thinking of another plan to break the Phoenix King Valley's restriction.
Seeing as how the Phoenix King Valley were about to achieve their goal, Bai Luochu was starting to panic as she hadn't been able to break their restriction. Looking at the messy battlefield, Ying Lan quickly made his way over to Bai Luochu's side in order to absorb some of the pressure.
"Mistress, break the restriction at all cost. I will cover you." Ying Lan transmitted his voice to Bai Luochu.
Hearing Ying Lan's assurance, Bai Luochu calmed herself down. The poison needles flew out once again to push her opponents back and Bai Luochu turned around to focus on breaking the restriction.
Another group of people left the battlefield after suffering from Bai Luochu's poison needles. Ying Lan took this chance to form a barrier in front of Bai Luochu as he kept all the enemies away from her.
When the old hall master saw that Bai Luochu was focused on breaking their restriction, a trace of disdain appeared in his heart. He opened his mouth and mocked her, "Our little friend here shouldn't bother himself. Our Phoenix King Valley's restriction isn't something the likes of you can break. If something happens, you will be hit by an intense backlash. This old man knows that you possess a kind heart. However, you shouldn't overestimate yourself."
The old hall master spoke arrogantly but Bai Luochu completely ignored his sarcastic remark. Instead, she continued to think of a way to break the restriction. After hearing what the old hall master said, her hands moved even faster than before.
Before a quarter of an hour passed, an unknown figure made him eat his words.

Esper: Search for Power
Dan Martin has a good life. He's respected at his job, and enjoys his work. He is close to his family, and they love and support him. With engaging hobbies, relative financial security, and freedom to learn and pursue his interests, Dan is happy. So it's not particularly welcome when he's selected by an inscrutable and seemingly omnipotent System as a test subject. The downsides: All of this is insane and by any rational analysis he's gonna die. The upsides: Super powers, a cure for a physical disability that had limited him, and above all, so very much to learn (for as long as he can avoid dying). I am very much a beginner as an author, and any feedback or suggestions on how to improve would be deeply appreciated. Chapter releases should be daily for the first two weeks and sporadic after that as I use up my buffer. Please consider this work as a rough draft subject to revision and/or retcon. It is not only my first attempt at original story telling, but at world building and RPG style system design. The latter has been very difficult, even drawing on the brilliant work of many RPGs and LitRPGs for inspiration. Thank you to any willing to give a new story and a new writer a try!

Though it's a standard novel with Reincarnation and Cultivation 'The Inheritor' is not a HAREM and it'll have Romance. The action might take the back seat in the first part of the book. About the Author This is my first novel or any attempt to write something so I'm pretty much a newbie trying to pen down the fantasies rolling in my mind. English isn't my First language so brace yourself for some grammatic potholes. But I'm genuinely working on improving my English but it won't be happening overnight as it's a process, I guess. (for the time being, I'm trying to make it readable with some Grammar checking software) Moreover, I wish to improve my writing skills as the story grows and readers help in spotting mistakes or critics might turn it into a reality.

The Last Death Mage
Since time immemorial humanity has always feared and shunned what it didn’t understand. Over time this changed a bit to encompass things that didn’t conform to their thoughts and ideals. Due to humanity’s stubbornness with which the enforced their ideals many lives were lost and changed. When humanity first clashed with monsters and the beings that use magic, this trait caused many bloody fights. Over time the fights escalated into battles and full on war on several occasions. Humanity due to their adaptability and persistence won many of these altercations, causing huge casualties to the magical beings. Humanity did not come out unscathed however; many of the empires and civilizations noted in human history fell due to these battles and wars. Eventually over time humanity and the magical beings came to a sort of agreement. Magic and the beings associated with it faded into the background of history, being relegated to myth and legend. Humanity meanwhile advanced leaps and bounds once magic faded, leading to our current level of civilization. Not all magical beings were content with this, thus they did their own actions and killed or fed on humans. This has led to many organizations to be formed concerning this, on both the side of humanity and the side of magical beings. They regulate and control the use of magic as well as protect humanity from the darker things that are now not but myth to them, but there is a reason humanity instinctually fears the dark. Unfortunately there are always those that are unsatisfied by the status quo, and those that are prejudiced against things that are different. This is a story of a young man who wanted nothing more than to be normal. Unfortunately Fate and the world he lives in do not easily allow that this, thus his life changed, not for the better. Everyone has heard of or read stories about monsters and legends, heroes and villains, this is one such story. Hi, this is my second attempt at a story here, the first was before the major overhaul happened and i lost everything related to that story due to PC troubles. I hope you enjoy this if you dont please leave some constructive criticism in the comments. An Editor and the like will be needed, but I will edit as problems are pointed out and as i proof read. This story will have no set schedule, unless of course I decide to type up a bunch in succession then i will note that in a chapter beforehand. ADDED NOTE: most sexual content will be in Interludes or sub chapters with a .5 attached. Profanity and gore however shall be plenty in the actual story, though the descriptives for the gore may be added later. (For example, in the prologue that gave a hint at what happened to the MC, will be enhanced so that the gore invokes more descriptive/complete mental pictures, though it may wait.) ~Tyroth Gideon
