The Aloof Immortal Venerable is Pregnant with My Fox Cub - Chapter 66

Chapter 66

Cang Ran and Tan Qingxuan went out together to check and found that the one lying on the ground, injured and unconscious, was Song Zhen. Hua Chao was nowhere to be seen.

The wounds on Song Zhen’s body had been torn open by the shock. She was spitting black blood, her eyes tightly closed, and she was still clenching several white feathers in her hand.

Cang Ran truly hadn’t expected that Hua Chao, who constantly claimed to be a weak little bird in front of her, could actually defeat a Void-Cave stage cultivator. She was certainly well-hidden! If she had known, she would have gone out to help Song Zhen, especially since Song Zhen had been looking after Tan Qingxuan and helping her stabilize the fetus.

Cang Ran helped Song Zhen up and checked her breathing. She was still alive.

Cang Ran looked up at Tan Qingxuan: “Song Zhen is unconscious. What should we do? Should we carry her back to the Taixuan Sect first?”

Tan Qingxuan frowned slightly: “I’ll treat her injuries and feed her some healing medicine first.”

Tan Qingxuan bent down and transferred some spiritual energy to Song Zhen. She took out the medicine bottle from Song Zhen’s waist, poured two pills, and placed them into Song Zhen’s mouth.

The wounds on Song Zhen’s body slowly stopped bleeding. Cang Ran let out a sigh of relief: “Is she treated now?”

Tan Qingxuan sighed: “She was already seriously injured from collecting medicine in the secret realm. Now, she fought with someone again. It must be that her external injuries hadn’t healed, leading to internal injuries. Let’s take her back to the sect first. I will write to the Sect Master of the Wanyao Gate and ask her to help take a look.”

“Okay, I’ll pilot the Cloud Concealing Boat and take you both back to the sect.”

Cang Ran released the Cloud Concealing Boat, helped Tan Qingxuan onto it, and then carried Song Zhen onto the boat as well. Fortunately, they hadn’t fled too far, and they returned to the Taixuan Sect in less than half a day.

When Lin Mingyue saw her Master being carried into Cuiwei Hall by Cang Ran, she quickly rushed over, took Song Zhen into her arms, and carried her to the bed.

Lin Mingyue fed Song Zhen some spiritual liquid and gave her some of the pills Song Zhen usually took. Only then did Song Zhen slowly wake up.

She was still tightly clutching the bird feathers in her hand. Her red-rimmed eyes looked around. Not seeing Hua Chao, she became agitated, spat out a mouthful of black blood, and almost fainted again.

Tan Qingxuan quickly supported her back, guiding the violently surging spiritual energy in her body: “Junior Sister, you’ve just woken up. You must not get angry again.”

Song Zhen’s tears fell torrentially. She clenched her red fingers, trembling all over: “Senior Sister, my entire clan, old and young, died because of her. This hatred is irreconcilable. If I can’t kill her, how can I avenge my people!”

Cang Ran hadn’t expected such a strong and stern woman like Song Zhen to be driven to tears. This didn’t match the situation Hua Chao had told her.

Cang Ran said from the side: “But Hua Chao told me that she only asked you out and took some things, and she didn’t expect your entire clan to be destroyed after you returned.”

Song Zhen looked at Cang Ran with bloodshot eyes, so angry that she spat out fresh blood. She screamed: “She’s lying! She used the opportunity to get close to me and tricked the ancestral secret recipe of our Song family out of me. All those people came for the secret recipe! She was one of them! Those vicious demons! I will kill them all sooner or later!”

Song Zhen grabbed Tan Qingxuan’s hand, tears streaming down: “Senior Sister, Hua Chao is the murderer who harmed my entire clan! She took my Song family’s ancestral secret recipe and also secretly learned my medical techniques. She spent a thousand years refining evil demon medicine!”

“My Song clan has always saved countless lives, but just because our ancestor accidentally obtained that secret recipe, those people murdered my mother and father. My niece was still in swaddling clothes, yet they wanted to exterminate every last one of them!”

The past events were vivid in her memory. Song Zhen was extremely pained and remorseful. The raised black veins on the side of her neck slowly moved upward.

Tan Qingxuan held Song Zhen’s hand: “Junior Sister, don’t worry. I will definitely help you catch Hua Chao next time!”

Cang Ran hadn’t realized that Hua Chao had harmed Song Zhen to such an extent. She had actually believed Hua Chao’s words, thinking she was a simple and innocent little bird demon.

Seeing that Tan Qingxuan had made a commitment, Cang Ran couldn’t help but say: “Next time she comes looking for me, I will definitely help you catch her too.”

Song Zhen said hatefully: “You demons are all the same! None of you are good!”

Cang Ran didn’t argue with her, considering that Song Zhen had helped Tan Qingxuan stabilize the fetus. She spoke kindly: “Although I am a demon, I am different from them. You helped me and Qingqing’s baby. I will help you. Hua Chao said she will come looking for me. When that time comes, I will tie her up and hand her over to you to deal with.”

Tan Qingxuan persuaded: “Junior Sister, Cang Ran also brought the Demon-Bearing Dew. The last incident was thanks to her. You need to trust Cang Ran, so we can help you together.”

Cang Ran’s eyes were extremely clear in the light, and her expression was sincere. With Tan Qingxuan mediating for her, it was true that Song Zhen’s words were out of line this time.

Song Zhen knew she had lost control of her emotions and spoken inappropriately. She closed her lips, tears of pain still rolling down, and managed to open her mouth with an apology: “I apologize.”

Cang Ran saw how miserable she was and waved her hand: “It’s alright. Do you have any sleeping medicine or anything I can use?”

Song Zhen turned her head and said to Lin Mingyue beside her: “Mingyue, help me take out the item in the box on top of the cabinet and give it to Cang Ran.”

Lin Mingyue bowed: “Yes, Master.”

Lin Mingyue quickly retrieved the item. Cang Ran saw a jade green medicine bottle. The rim of the bottle was inlaid with green crystals, making it look very mysterious and expensive.

Song Zhen instructed: “This is medicine specifically for dealing with the demon race. If you can get close to her, use this medicine on her. Whether she consumes it or inhales it, she will definitely be poisoned and faint within two breaths. Then you can capture her.”

Is Song Zhen learning proper medical techniques? Why did Hua Chao develop medicine to deal with human cultivators, and she developed poison specifically for dealing with the demon race?!

Cang Ran marveled inwardly. She carefully put the medicine bottle into her yingluo: “Okay. If I meet her, I will definitely help you capture her. You should lie down and rest assured to heal your injuries. Your face is turning black.”

Song Zhen touched her face, feeling the speed of the poison invading her body accelerate. Her expression slightly changed.

Tan Qingxuan knew this situation was unusual and her heart also tightened. She asked concernedly: “Junior Sister, is it that the poison from when you collected medicine in the secret realm hasn’t healed yet?”

Song Zhen checked her pulse: “It must be that the Cold Nether Poisonous Scorpion was too sinister. I have already developed an antidote for myself. I’ll take some more and see if it gets better in a couple of days.”

Tan Qingxuan worried: “This situation has been going on for half a month. If it can’t be cured, then invite the Sect Master of the Wanyao Gate to examine and treat you. They are a medical sect with ten thousand years of heritage. Having her take a look might help you clear the toxins.”

The toxins in Song Zhen’s internal organs were climbing and burning. She reluctantly nodded and swallowed another pill from her medicine bottle: “Okay. When the time comes, I’ll invite someone over and also have them check Senior Sister, to take a pulse for peace of mind.”

Tan Qingxuan gently hummed in agreement, tucked the blanket around Song Zhen, and instructed Lin Mingyue: “Mingyue, take good care of your Master these few days. If she is uncomfortable in any way, immediately come to Fuyao Hall and inform me.”

Lin Mingyue respectfully bowed: “Yes, Immortal Venerable Qingxuan. I will take good care of Master!”

Cang Ran and Tan Qingxuan left Cuiwei Hall together. When they returned to Fuyao Hall, they saw the little hedgehog squatting at the hall entrance, drawing circles on the ground. Yun Muyu, dressed in white and holding a long sword, was also quietly waiting under the tree nearby.

Half of the ancient pine tree had been cut down by Song Zhen. The thick branches lay on the ground, and the entire area was covered in green pine needles.

The little hedgehog and Yun Muyu didn’t know how long they had been waiting, looking like two differently shaped stones, one large and one small.

Cang Ran felt a surge of jealousy when she saw Tan Qingxuan and Yun Muyu together before. Now that Tan Qingxuan was pregnant with her child, she truly had nothing to be jealous of.

Tan Qingxuan must love her the most. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have protected her child all this time.

Thinking of this, she felt happy. Her lips curved upward. By seniority, she was now the female protagonist’s Mistress! Hehe!

Cang Ran was so delighted that her fox tails came out, swaying quite frequently. She raised her hand and cast a spell, clearing the entrance to her home.

The pine needles and the remaining tree parts were all blown by Cang Ran down the cliff outside Fuyao Hall. Hearing such a loud commotion, the little hedgehog, who was drawing circles with her head down, immediately looked up. Seeing Cang Ran, she immediately rushed over.

The little hedgehog hugged Cang Ran’s leg, her eyes teary: “Great King, I thought you didn’t want me anymore! You all left and abandoned me, a demon, here.”

Cang Ran picked her up and swung her around a few times: “Don’t cry. The Great King was too rushed, so I temporarily left you here. Why didn’t you go play with Mingxin?”

The little hedgehog shook her head and wiped her tears: “I don’t want to go. I want to be with the Great King and wait here for the Great King.”

Cang Ran rubbed her head and said warmly: “Such a good girl. From now on, we will live here and won’t go anywhere else.”

The little hedgehog’s crying voice, which had been building up, abruptly stopped: “Huh?”

Cang Ran secretly transmitted a message to her: “The Immortal Venerable is pregnant with your Great King’s cub. We have to stay here from now on and take good care of the Immortal Venerable and my baby.”

The little hedgehog’s small black bean eyes widened in surprise: “Great King, you’re so amazing! We’re going to have a baby!”

Cang Ran couldn’t control the smile on her face. She excitedly lifted the little hedgehog high up: “Yes, yes!”

She was going to have a baby, and it was her and Qingqing’s baby! She was super happy!

A hint of doting indulgence spread in Tan Qingxuan’s eyes. She quietly watched Cang Ran and the little hedgehog playing there.

Yun Muyu also came over when she saw Tan Qingxuan return. She bowed respectfully and said: “Master, you are back.”

Tan Qingxuan slightly nodded: “You worked hard on your cultivation today. Go back and rest first.”

Yun Muyu saw that her Master had left in a hurry just now and returned with a fox demon.

She recognized that the yingluo and the jade ornament on the fox demon’s wrist were exactly the same as the ones on the little fox she was interested in.

Yun Muyu stopped and bowed to Tan Qingxuan again, asking softly: “Master, this is…?”

Cang Ran received the look Yun Muyu cast her way. She put the little hedgehog down, tossed her long red hair back, and chuckled: “You can call me Mistress from now on.”

Cang Ran smiled brightly, like the spring breeze in March. Yun Muyu was stunned for a few seconds by her beauty, staring blankly at Tan Qingxuan.

Tan Qingxuan playfully glared at Cang Ran. The corner of her lips lifted in a smile, and she nodded: “Just listen to her.”

Yun Muyu immediately called out obediently: “Mistress.”

Cang Ran took out a packet of top-grade spiritual stones from her yingluo and casually handed them to Yun Muyu: “Mistress didn’t bring any suitable gifts today. Take these top-grade spiritual stones to spend for now. Buy whatever you want. Consider it a meeting gift.”

Yun Muyu was only sixteen and had been poor and wandering for many years. She was stunned by this large packet of top-grade spiritual stones and said in shock: “Mistress, this is too much. I can’t use all of this.”

Being the female protagonist’s Mistress is really not easy! These spiritual stones were what she got from following the Mountain-Suppressing Leopard into battle.

Cang Ran’s heart ached a little, but she pretended to be nonchalant and waved her hand: “It’s fine. Take it. Mistress is not short on money.”

Tan Qingxuan smiled on the side without speaking. The little fox didn’t have many treasures. She was so poor that all she had was spiritual stones.

Seeing that her Master didn’t stop her and her Mistress was so generous, Yun Muyu hugged the large packet of spiritual stones and left the Fuyao Hall in a daze.

Cang Ran turned to dismiss the little hedgehog: “Go play in the side hall from before. If you’re hungry, go eat something at the Spiritual Food Hall. The Immortal Venerable and I need to go to the sleeping quarters to talk for a while.”

The little hedgehog quickly nodded: “Okay, Great King. You go take care of your business.”

She wasn’t an insensitive little hedgehog! She knew better than to follow the Great King around at a time like this. But now, she could help the Great King raise the little fox cub in the future! Hehe.
