97: This pill actually has such a miraculous effect
Xiong Mao: “Ah? Why?”
The Valley Master of Hundred Flowers Valley spread her hands and said, “I’m injured, and it’s inconvenient to walk. You can carry me, and we’ll be faster.”
“Oh, alright.” Xiong Mao turned around and squatted down. The Valley Master of Hundred Flowers Valley’s injuries were indeed very severe, especially her legs, which were covered in bloodstains. Some areas were already festering.
“Let’s go.” The Valley Master of Hundred Flowers Valley said once she was settled on his back.
“Okay.” Xiong Mao then stood up, bending at the waist, and strode forward.
After walking for a while, Xiong Mao suddenly remembered that he had bought a Healing Pill in the green train earlier!
It was said to heal all external injuries.
So he asked, “Sister, do you have any internal injuries?”
“What do you mean?” The Valley Master of Hundred Flowers Valley didn’t understand.
“It’s just… anyway, I can’t explain it clearly. In short, just take this pill first. As long as it’s an external injury, this pill can heal it completely.”
Xiong Mao had great faith in the green train. If the captions in the train said it could heal all external injuries, then it definitely could heal all external injuries.
“Is there such a miraculous pill?”
The Valley Master of Hundred Flowers Valley looked at the crystal-clear Healing Pill in front of her, very curious.
“Here, you’ll know once you eat it.” Xiong Mao handed it directly to her.
The Valley Master of Hundred Flowers Valley quickly took the pill in her hand, but she was still a bit hesitant.
She didn’t know whether to trust Xiong Mao.
What if Xiong Mao let her out for some other reason… “Why aren’t you eating it? Once you eat it, your external injuries will heal, and we’ll be able to run faster.” Xiong Mao didn’t know what she was thinking, he just urged her.
In his mind, the Healing Pill’s efficacy was definitely excellent; there was nothing to question.
The Valley Master of Hundred Flowers Valley also knew that her injuries were too severe. If she didn’t heal quickly, she would definitely slow them down. Their escape wouldn’t be kept secret for long, and soon the Axe Gang’s people would catch up.
So she steeled her heart. Alright, I’ll eat it!
Xiong Mao was still carrying her as he ran. She swallowed the Healing Pill in one gulp, and in just a moment, she felt the wounds on her body slowly healing. They didn’t even scab over, but directly returned to their original state!
This pill was actually that miraculous!
“You can put me down now, I can walk on my own.” she said.
“Okay.” Xiong Mao knew it must be the Healing Pill taking effect, so he didn’t hesitate and put her down.
“Bao Hui should have already taken his men to the forest. We can take this opportunity to sneak into the guild. If there’s a chance, we can disguise ourselves a bit to avoid being noticed.” The Valley Master of Hundred Flowers Valley looked at the road ahead and said softly.
Xiong Mao nodded. Although the Valley Master of Hundred Flowers Valley was a woman, she was very resourceful, at least more resourceful than him.
After her injuries recovered, her pace quickened, and the two quickly arrived at the guild.
The entrance was lined with two rows of shops, bustling with people.
Although the Valley Master of Hundred Flowers Valley’s injuries were healed, her clothes were covered in bloodstains. If she went in like that, she would be very conspicuous.
“Wear my jacket. It’s a bit hot today anyway.” Xiong Mao proactively took off his jacket.
The Valley Master of Hundred Flowers Valley was stunned for a moment, seemingly not expecting Xiong Mao, this rough man, to notice her concerns.
“Thank you.” This was not the time for sentimentality. The Valley Master of Hundred Flowers Valley took it and put it on. Xiong Mao’s jacket was very loose, and when she wore it, it just covered the blood-stained clothes above her knees.
She used the jacket’s collar to cover her face, and Xiong Mao also tried to keep his head down, so as not to be recognized.
It was already evening now. They definitely had to spend the night at the guild, but if they stayed at the guild’s hotel, they would have to register, which would make it easy for them to be found.
Just as they were worrying about where to stay, Ximen Chuifeng and his two companions walked out of the guild’s quest hall.
“Hey, aren’t you…”
Ximen Chuifeng saw Xiong Mao and almost blurted out his name.
Xiong Mao quickly interrupted him: “Wait!”
“What’s wrong?” Ximen Chuifeng was confused.
“Keep your voice down.” Xiong Mao rarely spoke so softly.
Zhuang Sanming, who was behind Ximen Chuifeng, frowned. Xiong Mao wasn’t alone; he was accompanied by a woman, and her pant legs had bloodstains.
Something was wrong, very wrong.
Ximen Chuifeng also noticed this, but he didn’t point it out, quietly waiting for Xiong Mao to speak for himself.
There was no particular friendship between Xiong Mao and Ximen Chuifeng; if anything, they had just ridden in the same green train.
Moreover, when Xiong Mao was first thrown off the green train for not buying a ticket, Ximen Chuifeng had even gloated.
Normally, Xiong Mao would never ask Ximen Chuifeng for help, but the situation was urgent, and they happened to run into each other, so he had no choice but to bother Ximen Chuifeng.
“Um… could I ask you for a favor?” Xiong Mao said awkwardly, “She’s my distant cousin, she was robbed on the way and has nowhere to go. Could she stay at your place for one night? Don’t worry, I’ll pay.”
Ximen Chuifeng paused for a second, then said, “Since when did the Valley Master of Hundred Flowers Valley become your distant cousin?”
Xiong Mao: !!!
Damn it, he forgot Ximen Chuifeng was an information broker.
“Let me talk to him.” The Valley Master of Hundred Flowers Valley seemed to know Ximen Chuifeng. Seeing Xiong Mao’s embarrassment, she stepped forward herself.
She walked up to Ximen Chuifeng and said lightly, “I suppose I’m also one of your clients. I’ve bought information from you before.”
“Mm.” Ximen Chuifeng nodded.
The Valley Master of Hundred Flowers Valley and Xiong Mao had no prior connection, so why was she now standing with Xiong Mao, and covered in blood?
Zhuang Sanming was also quietly observing them from behind. Xiong Mao seemed very flustered, as if he was hiding from someone.
Su Duo looked at all this blankly and whispered, “Cousin, what are they doing? Should we leave?”
Zhuang Sanming reassured her, “Let’s wait and see.”
“Oh.” Su Duo was obedient and stopped asking questions.
The Valley Master of Hundred Flowers Valley and Ximen Chuifeng discussed for a while. Their voices were very low, and they deliberately walked a bit further away, so they couldn’t hear clearly.
At this moment, only Xiong Mao was in front of Zhuang Sanming and Su Duo.
The three of them stared at each other. Xiong Mao showed a polite smile: “Where are you all going?”
“Nowhere in particular, just heading home.” Zhuang Sanming said indifferently.
Su Duo was a little more familiar with Xiong Mao. She knew that although Xiong Mao was a bit ugly, he wasn’t that bad: “Didn’t you take the green train today? I didn’t see you.”
“No, I was delayed by too many things.” Xiong Mao said.
At this point, Ximen Chuifeng and the Valley Master of Hundred Flowers Valley both returned. They seemed to have talked a lot, but hadn’t reached an agreement.
“I need to discuss it with them, and then I’ll give you an answer.” Ximen Chuifeng said this to the Valley Master of Hundred Flowers Valley.
