Chapter 85 Explosive! The Mad Doctor and Poison Master Single-handedly Takes Down the Illusionary Dream Pavilion
After this battle, Qingfeng Village's reputation spread like wildfire throughout the martial arts world. Luo Qingci stood proudly before the village, gazing into the distance, her heart filled with boundless pride. She thought to herself, "In this martial arts world, anyone who dares to act recklessly in front of me from now on should first consider whether they have the life to back them up!"
Next time they come, I won't hold back. One by one, I'll take them down; two, I'll take them both down; a whole bunch, I'll slaughter them all! I'll make them understand why flowers bloom so red! My reputation as a mad medic and poisoner isn't for nothing. Anyone who dares to be arrogant again will taste what despair feels like!
But the troubles of the martial world are like cockroaches—they just keep popping up one after another. Sure enough, not long after things calmed down, Qingfeng Village welcomed an extremely eccentric visitor.
The newcomer was a fat guy, as big as a small mountain. His belly was round and bulging, as if he were carrying a small hill. Every step he took made the ground thud. He was a giant, walking lump of flesh. It looked like a strong wind could blow him around in circles.
He claimed to be Qian Duoduo, a distant cousin of the Pavilion Master of the Illusionary Dream Pavilion, and said that he had rushed here in a hurry to apologize and make peace on the orders of the Pavilion Master.
Looking at this mountain of flesh, Luo Qingci couldn't help but mutter to herself, "What exactly is the Illusionary Dream Pavilion up to? Sending such a clown over here, do they think I'm a three-year-old and can be easily fooled? Hmph, it's not that easy! I have to put him to the test and see what tricks he can pull."
A slight smirk played on her lips, revealing a cunning smile that resembled that of a mischievous little fox. She said leisurely, "Oh? You think you can just apologize like that? The Illusionary Dream Pavilion was so arrogant and domineering before. You think you can settle things with just a few words? Do you think I'm easy to fool?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Duoduo became so anxious that he broke out in a cold sweat. Large beads of sweat rolled down his face like beads from a broken string. In no time, his clothes were soaked, as if he had just been pulled out of the water.
He frantically pulled out an enormous package from behind him, opened it in a flustered manner, and instantly, the light emanating from various rare treasures illuminated the entire hall, so bright that it was almost impossible to open one's eyes.
"Grandma, look at this! It's just a small token of our sect leader's affection. He knows he's made a huge mistake and has repeatedly told me to beg for your forgiveness. Please, be magnanimous and forgive us this time! If you don't forgive us, I won't be able to explain myself when I get back, and I might even get a beating from the sect leader!"
As Qian Duoduo spoke, he kept wiping his sweat with his chubby, bear-paw-like hands, as if he were afraid that Luo Qingci would turn into a she-devil and devour him alive at any moment.
Luo Qingci raised an eyebrow, casually flipping through the treasures, thinking to herself, "Hmph, trying to bribe me with these things? Dream on! I'll see what tricks are hidden behind this, who knows what kind of conspiracy is going on! Maybe these treasures are all fake, trying to trick me."
He deliberately made things difficult with his words: "Is that all? Are you trying to fob me off like a beggar? The Dream Pavilion stole so many treasures from me, and the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum from the back mountain of Qingfeng Village. Is this all you're offering to pay off the debt? Do you think I'm easy to fool? Believe me or not, I'll throw all of this stuff out to feed the dogs!"
Upon hearing this, Qian Duoduo's legs went weak, and she almost knelt down with a thud. She clasped her hands together and kept bowing, her chubby hands moving up and down as if she were pounding garlic: "Grandma, please give me another chance. Our sect leader really knows he was completely wrong."
He said that as long as you are lenient and forgive us this time, the Dream Pavilion will follow your lead from now on. If you tell them to go east, they will never dare to go west.
If you tell them to beat the dogs, they'll never dare chase the chickens! But if they disobey, may they get hit by bird droppings when they go out, choke on their water, and be bitten by mosquitoes while they sleep!
Just then, Luo Qingsen rushed in like a gust of wind. When he saw Qian Duoduo's ridiculously fat figure, his eyes widened instantly, like copper bells, and he shouted loudly, "Girl, where did this fat guy come from?"
He looks like a giant, walking meat bun, jiggling all over, hahaha! I bet he weighs as much as three people in our village!
Qian Duoduo smiled awkwardly, her face squishing up like a crumpled bun: "Hello, sir, I'm here to apologize. Please don't mind my weight, I'm just easygoing and have no bad intentions."
Loka Aomori circled around Qian Duoduo twice, muttering to himself, "You? You're so fat you can barely walk, how can you represent the Dream Pavilion? I think you're more like someone who came here to freeload, haha! You might even eat a whole roasted lamb in one sitting!"
Qian Duoduo explained with a wry smile, a smile that looked more like a grimace: "Big brother, please don't tease me. I'm here with the utmost sincerity this time. If I'm lying, may I get so fat that I can't even leave the house, and I'll gain weight just from drinking water!"
Luo Qingci almost burst out laughing at the comical scene, thinking to herself, "Qian Duoduo looks silly and chubby, but he's quite amusing. However, the matter of Huanmeng Pavilion can't be left so easily. I need to teach them a lesson."
So she deliberately put on a stern face and pretended to be serious: "It's not impossible for you to forgive me, but your Dream Pavilion has to return everything you stole before, not a single thing."
"You must also issue a public announcement throughout the martial arts world, admitting your mistake and apologizing to Qingfeng Village and all the heroes of the martial arts world. Otherwise, this matter is far from over! Moreover, the words on the announcement must be written bigger than my palm so that everyone can see them clearly!"
Upon hearing this, Qian Duoduo nodded vigorously, her head bobbing like a rattle drum: "Okay, okay, whatever you say, Grandma, I'll go back and tell the Pavilion Master right away, and I promise to convey your meaning word for word. If I miss a single word, I'll make myself so fat that I can't even wear pants anymore!"
After saying that, he turned to leave, but because he was too fat, he got stuck at the door. He looked like a big meatball stuffed into the mouth of a bottle, unable to move forward or backward.
His face turned bright red with anxiety, like a ripe tomato, with veins bulging on his forehead, and he kept twisting his fat body.
She was shouting, "Oh my god, what am I going to do? I'll start dieting right now, I'll start dieting right now... If I can get out of here, I'll definitely run every day from now on and never eat meat again!"
Seeing Qian Duoduo's disheveled appearance, Luo Qingsen laughed so hard he almost cried: "Haha, you fatso, you can't even get out the door, how are you going to go back and report? Should I help you take this door down? Or I might as well just throw you out the window!"
Finally, it took several henchmen a great deal of effort, like pulling up a radish, to finally "pull" Qian Duoduo out of the door. After Qian Duoduo left, Luo Qingci fell into deep thought: "The Illusionary Dream Pavilion definitely didn't have good intentions this time."
They might be plotting something bad again. We need to prepare in advance in case they try to cause trouble again. I can't let them fool me again. I need to come up with a foolproof plan to make sure they don't leave alive!
Sure enough, a few days later, Qian Duoduo returned, this time followed by a group of people, all panting heavily, carrying several huge boxes, saying that Huanmeng Pavilion had returned all the stolen goods.
Luo Qingci looked at the boxes and instantly became alert, a cold glint flashing in her eyes: "Open them and see. I want to see what tricks the Dream Pavilion is up to this time."
When the box was opened, everyone was dumbfounded. Inside were no stolen treasures, but a pile of broken stones with a note on top that read: "Luo Qingci, you think we'll let you off so easily? Just wait and see! Our Illusion Dream Pavilion is not to be trifled with. If you have the guts, come and fight me one-on-one! If you don't dare to come, you're a coward!"
Upon seeing the note, Luo Qingci's face instantly turned icy, and her eyes revealed a chilling murderous intent: "You wicked Huanmeng Pavilion, how dare you play me for fools time and time again. It seems I must teach you a lesson."
You have no idea how powerful I am! You really think I'm a pushover! I'll uproot the Dream Pavilion and show them why flowers bloom so brightly!
Luo Qingsen was furious, roaring like an enraged bull, "Girl, why waste words with them? Let's just charge over and wipe out the Illusion Dream Pavilion! Let them know that Qingfeng Village is not to be trifled with! I'm going to capture their pavilion master and make him your mount!"
Luo Qingci took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and began to calmly think of a countermeasure: "Don't rush. Since they dare to do this, they must have made some preparations. They may have even set some traps for us."
We cannot act rashly. We must first send people to ascertain their strength and weaknesses. Only by knowing ourselves and our enemy can we achieve victory in every battle. I must devise a plan carefully to make the Illusionary Dream Pavilion pay a heavy price for their actions!
Soon, the people sent out returned to report that the Illusionary Dream Pavilion had recently received assistance from a mysterious expert. They thought they had this powerful figure backing them up, which was why they dared to be so arrogant and disrespectful.
Luo Qingci's lips curled up slightly, revealing a confident smile: "A mysterious expert? I'd like to see just how capable he is. How dare he be so arrogant in front of me? I'll tear off his veil of mystery! No matter who he is, when he meets me, he'll only have the right to obediently admit defeat!"
A few days later, Luo Qingci led the people of Qingfeng Village in a grand procession towards the Dream Pavilion. Along the way, everyone was eager to fight, their morale high, as if they were about to embark on a victorious feast.
Upon arriving at the Dream Pavilion, they found the doors tightly shut and an eerie atmosphere permeating the surroundings, as if concealing countless secrets and dangers.
Luo Qingci shouted loudly, "Listen up, people of Huanmeng Pavilion! Today is your death day! If you know what's good for you, come out and face your death! Don't cower in there like turtles! If you keep hiding, I'll tear down your doors and burn them for firewood!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the doors of the Dream Pavilion slowly opened, emitting a chilling creak. A man dressed in a black robe slowly walked out, his face covered by a hideous mask, obscuring his features, revealing only a pair of cold eyes that seemed to see right through people's hearts.
"Luoqing Porcelain, you've finally arrived. Today is your burial ground!" the black-robed man said coldly, his voice low and hoarse, as if it came from hell.
Luo Qingci smiled disdainfully, her smile full of mockery and contempt: "You? Don't you know your own limitations? Don't think you're so great just because you're wearing a lousy mask. I think you're just a coward, afraid to show your true face! If you're so capable, take off your mask and let me see what you look like. Aren't you so ugly that you can't be seen by others?"
The man in black robes snorted coldly and quickly formed hand seals. Instantly, the ground around him began to shake violently, and countless sharp stone spikes emerged from the ground, like blades pointing straight to the sky.
Upon seeing this, Luo Qingci flashed, moving like a ghost among the stone spikes with light and agile movements. The silver needles in her hand gleamed with cold light, shooting towards the man in black robes like shooting stars.
The man in black robes remained calm and unhurried. With a flick of his sleeve, a powerful gust of air rushed towards him, deflecting all the silver needles. The needles fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
"Is that all you've got? You dare to show off your meager skills in front of me!" the black-robed man mocked, his voice filled with arrogance.
Luo Qingci was startled: "This mysterious expert is indeed quite skilled, but I won't give up so easily. I have even more powerful moves waiting for him! I refuse to believe that my expertise in both medicine and poison is not enough to deal with him!"
She took a deep breath, circulated her inner energy, and unleashed her ultimate move—"Thousand Needles of Poisonous Shadow." Countless silver needles shot towards the black-robed man like a torrential rain, their speed dazzling and overwhelming.
The man in black robes hurriedly dodged, his figure flickering like a ghost, but he was still cut on the arm by several silver needles, and blood instantly seeped out, staining his black robe red.
"You...you dare to hurt me!" The man in black robes was both shocked and furious, his voice filled with disbelief.
Taku Aomori also charged forward, brandishing his broadsword. He wielded the broadsword with great force, each strike accompanied by a whooshing sound, as if it could cleave through the air.
"I'll chop you into mincemeat to avenge my sister! I'll mince you into dumpling filling and feed you to the dogs!" he shouted, his eyes blazing with rage.
Under the combined attack of the crowd, the man in black robes gradually showed signs of defeat. His movements became sluggish, and he sustained more and more wounds.
Seeing that things were going badly, he turned to run away, but he was trapped by a trap that Luo Qingci had set up beforehand. He slipped and almost fell flat on his face. He scrambled to his feet, his mask askew, looking utterly disheveled.
Luo Qingci stepped forward, looking down at the man in black robes with a victor's smile, a smile full of mockery: "Now you know how powerful you are? Tell me, who exactly are you? Why are you helping Huanmeng Pavilion?"
If you dare utter even a single lie, I'll let you taste the power of my specially made poison! This poison will make you writhe on the ground in agony, crying for your parents!
The man in black robes gritted his teeth, refusing to speak, his eyes filled with stubbornness. Luo Qingci sneered, "It seems you won't shed a tear until you see the coffin."
As she spoke, she took out a bottle of poison and waved it in front of the man in black robes. The poison shimmered eerily in the sunlight: "This is my specially made poison. As long as you drink just one drop, you will be unable to live or die. Every bone in your body will feel like it is being gnawed by thousands of ants, causing you unbearable pain!"
Moreover, this poison will make you fart incessantly, so loudly it's like thunder, and the stench will make you dizzy and lightheaded!
The man in black robes turned pale with fright, his body trembling uncontrollably like a leaf swaying in the wind. He hurriedly said, "I'll talk, I'll talk! I was hired by the Illusion Dream Pavilion at great expense. They promised to give me an ancient artifact, so I helped them."
I thought I could easily deal with you, but I didn't expect you to be so powerful... If I had known earlier, I would never have come!
Upon hearing this, Luo Qingci's anger intensified: "For the sake of a divine artifact, you helped them commit evil deeds? Today, I will act on behalf of Heaven and teach you a lesson, you scoundrel!" With that, she waved her hand and ordered her men to take the black-robed man away.
Seeing that all was lost, the others from the Illusionary Dream Pavilion knelt down and begged for mercy, their faces filled with fear and despair. Looking at them, Luo Qingci felt a surge of accomplishment: "From this day forward, the Illusionary Dream Pavilion will cease to exist! Anyone who dares to commit evil deeds in the martial world will suffer the same fate as them!"
Listen up, all of you! Don't mess with me again, or I won't hold back! I'll make you understand that offending me will result in a fate worse than death!
After this battle, Luo Qingci's fame spread throughout the martial arts world, making her a figure to be revered. And Qingfeng Village, under her leadership, also lived a peaceful life.
However, Luo Qingci knew in her heart that the conflicts in the martial arts world would never end, and new troubles might come knocking at any time. But she was not afraid, because she was Luo Qingci, a master of both medicine and poison, decisive in killing! She was always ready to meet new challenges and continue to write her own legend in this martial arts world!
