Chapter 180 Mend The Rift Before

In the war at borders, Madam Yu was heavily mauled by the devil soldiers. Zhan Ming hurried back with all speed. Wuyou rushed to the Jing Town once getting the news.

“How long has the general been in a coma?”

“Three days.” Zhan Ming was afraid that something bad happened to Madam Yu, so he had been at her sides. Wuyou entered the camp and felt Madam Yu’s pulse immediately.

“More serious than last time. The poison has invaded her heart meridians. She needs to change blood.” Zhan Ming’s brows knitted more deeply at Wuyou’s words.

“Draw mine.” Zhan Ming rolled up his cuffs.

“Did the Di army hassle the people?”

“Qi soldiers disguised themselves as the inhabitants of the border. General Yu was beguiled into an ambush.” Zhan Ming explained and hoped Madam Xu could treat Madam Yu as soon as possible.

It seemed that Di Qing’s ambition would never die until all was over. Zhan Ming made a silent vow to himself that he would seize Di Qing’s capital next time, and waited to see how long Di Qing would remain rampant.

Wuyou boiled the water and asked Zhan Ming to buy some resolving-stasis herbs in the market. Last time when Wuyou was struck by Naga poison, Granny decocted the herbs to cure her. Madam Yu was poisoned for too long, so medicine soup was a must for her detoxification. Only by doing so could the toxin in Madam Yu’s bloodlines break down. Zhan Ming rode the horse to the medical shop. When he arrived in the streets, the medical shop had closed for the night. Zhan Ming kicked the door open and picked up Chinese medicine according to the prescription. Before leaving, he threw some taels of silver. Wuyou decocted the herbs over the small fire. When the medicine soup thickened, Wuyou found a bath barrel. The room was imbued with medical fragrance. Clouds of medical smoke swirled around the barrel. Madam Yu closed her eyes, and her face was reddened by the smoke. She felt she had never stretched herself like that before. The airflow dispersed in all directions. Wuyou gestured and chanted spells. Her eyebrow bones opened. Her Spirit Power flowed in her bones. The floating Flowing Light gathered little by little. When the glowing blueness popped out, Wuyou condensed the blue light. The crystal spinel floated and rotated. It was the God Farmer Technique of the Pangu Divine Being Heavenly Book, the thing that Shennong condensed quintessence of the spiritual grass. The spiritual grass had grown for tens of millions of years, enjoying the same life span as the sun and the moon. It was the spirit born at the beginning of the Chaos, which could solve all kinds of poisons. Wuyou opened Madam Yu’s veins, and Flowing Light surged out of her fingers. When the blue spinel opened, floating herb spirits frisked. When Wuyou unsealed the essence spirit, tens of thousands of spirit ran into Madam Yu’s body. Those restless spirits gamboled in General Yu’s body. Don’t look down upon the spirits. They were able to clean away Madam Yu’s toxin. Even though Zhan Ming had witnessed the miracle power of the Heavenly Book, he was still convinced by it again. How was there such a formidable power to clean marrow and bones?

“The poison has been cleared out.” Wuyou dispersed her spirit power, and then the spinel returned to her eyebrow bones. The blue color thinned out. Pangu Spirit also drilled into Wuyou’s body. When things were done, Wuyou left the camp, but Zhan Ming was unwilling to leave. Even if the poison had been removed, Madam Yu still looked pale, and her mouth excoriated with blood. Zhan Ming helped to wipe it.

“That hurts!” The woman frowned. Zhan Ming wiped so heavily that Madam Yu was awakened.

“Drink some water.” The water in the teapot was warm. Madam Yu covered her face. Zhan Ming helped the woman to sit up and served the porcelain bowl of tea to her. The tea was still steaming. Madam Yu took two gulps. Zhan Ming laughed brightly. It seemed that the female general was really thirsty.

“Laughing at an old woman?” Madam Yu stressed the words “old woman” deliberately, hoping the man could read her implication.

“Can’t I have any admiration for you?”

Although Zhan Ming was a refined general, he had an air of a valiant one. He was not young any longer and did not have their pushfulness, but he was still full of energy.

“Thank you.” Madam Yu was not iron-hearted. But she had experienced a lot and taken everything lightly. As for the mortal’s passion, she was rather indifferent. All she wanted was to spend the rest of her life peacefully. But she did not know that, the more difficult to get a reply from a man, the more she would want to have him.

“It’s good to wake up.” He tucked her in. The man did it deftly, which softened Madam Yu’s heart. She was moved by the man’s carefulness. She began wondering, “Will he take care of me these days?”

“Take an early rest. Tomorrow we will go back to the Jin City. We have to be on the road for a few days.”

“You don’t need to do that.” Zhan Ming tidied up the bath barrel, and the medicine soup got cold.

“Madam Xu has been here?” Madam Yu was a little surprised, since it was thousands of miles away from the Jin City.

“I am afraid that it will be too late, so I hurried back with all speed.” Only in the war could the urgent speed be used. It seemed that Zhan Ming made great efforts to save Madam Yu. At that moment, Madam Yu completely fell for him.

“Zhan, thank you.” Madam Yu hid in the quilt hurriedly, her face flushing. Zhan Ming was surprised that the female general’s voice was so sweet that it sounded with more female tenderness compared to her common voice.

“Have a good rest.” Zhan Ming did not leave there until all the things were done. Madam Yu disclosed the quilt and exposed her head out. She patted her hot cheeks and wondered why she became a woman with a soft voice. What happened? Although Madam Yu had been living for tens of thousands of years, she still looked like a girl of twenty years old. Her skin was still white and smooth. Naga women’s beauty lay in the bone, and years would only add to her charm.

In the camp, the woman took off her armor. Under the moonlight, her underwear outlined her figure curve. Her tied hair was finally loosened down to fall on her chest. For so many years, Madam Yu looked at herself carefully for the first time. Without the cover of the armor, she looked more enchanting. A layer of powder dropped from her skin because of the hot medicine.

“Take some porridge and sleep.” The door was opened. Zhan Ming froze for a moment. The female general was rather attractive under the light. Even the air was filled with female fragrance. Zhan Ming had been fighting outside on the battlefield, so he was firm with himself.

“If you have looked enough, just get out!” Madam Yu was not that kind of girl who was easily taken back by surprise any longer. She put on her armor again. Zhan Ming’s face was aglow. Something restless appeared in his blood. It seemed that it was time for him to get married. Zhan Ming came out of the camp with great embarrassment. Madam Yu could not help but laugh, as she did not expect that Commander Zhan’s embarrassed look was so cute.

In order to heal the naga, Wuyou consumed much spiritual power. So when she woke up, she felt her head ached badly. Gathering sound rang outside. Wuyou opened the door, and found Zhan Ming had been waiting there.

“Is General Yu better?”

“After breakfast, let’s go back to the Jin City.” Zhan Ming was in fine fig.

“I have to find something to eat.” Madam Yu was so hungry that she wanted to find something to eat. So she went around Zhan Ming to the barrack.

“Madam Xu, just make do with it.” A soldier came up and held an iron plate with a bowl of millet congee on it. The life in the military camp was rather simple. Wuyou ate the pickles and thought it was unexpectedly delicious.

“Thank you, Madam Xu. Thank you for saving my life.” Madam Yu gave her sincere thanks, as Jiang Wuyou had saved her twice regardless of the past offense. So Madam Yu showed great respect for her and knelt down on the ground in the presence of all the Jin soldiers.

“General Yu, you’re welcome.” Wuyou hurried to help Madam Yu up, because it would degrade Madam Yu’s dignity and Madam Yu would lead the army to fight in the battle.

“Madam Xu, please accept my prostration as gratitude to you.” The whole drill ground was seethed with excitement and all the people thumbed for the general. Zhan Ming was filled with admiration for the woman who knew clearly what to love and what to hate. She did have a heroic manner as a man. Wuyou knew that Madam Yu put down her hatred finally.

“It is late. Let’s return to the Jin City.” Soldiers gathered well and got ready to set off. Wuyou swung herself into the carriage.

Zhan Ming raised the whip. The horse neighed and ran to the Jin City.

Xu Linghe looked into the distance and wondered why his little woman did not send a message back since she had come to the Jing Town. His big hand held a chubby hand, and he kept staring in the distance.

“Xiao Douya, Uncle has something funny.” Yan Wu tempted him deliberately. Xiao Douya did not looked at him. Compared to any rare and stange thing, his mother meant most to him. The boy’s calmness arouse Yan Wu’s interest. Yan Wu stretched his hand into the void and grabbed a monster out. Xiao Douya had seen spiritual beast before, but he did not see such a lovely thing. Yan Wu smiled. It seemed that the little boy was attracted. Liu Ruoshui gave a palm, and the lovely thing flew out.

Xiao Douya rushed out as well. The panda opened its wings in a strange form. Its fur was mixed with white and black, and its arms were shiny black as if it wore a black mantle. It looked chubby and walked swaying, just like a baby beginning to learn to walk. How adorable it was! Its half-round ears, like small hillsides, appeared on its round face. Black eyes with black rim made it seem not to have enough sleep. Xiao Douya leaped up, but the little panda dashed to the clouds. Xiao Douya failed to get it. Yan Wu laughed at the sight.

“Douya.” Wuyou caught the little panda. Xiao Douya threw himself into his mother’s arms.

Xiao Douya increased his voice to make it sound more imposing. Yan Wu surely would not tell Xiao Douya that the cute thing was the national treasure in the 21st century. Little Lingchong crawled out of the cuff, but it had not seen such a fat spiritual beast before as well. Xiao Douya held the chubby panda, unwilling to loosen his hands. Looking at the panda’s black round eyes, Little Lingchong thought nothing of it, opened its mouth and blew out a large bubble to wrap the panda. Then, it flew onto the branch and sneered at the panda. It was a warning. How dare the chubby thing was to strive for the favor with it? Xiao Douya did not expect that Little Lingchong had such a bad temper.

“This is the national treasure of the 21st century.” Yan Wu did not like to see that the lovely thing was bullied by an insect.

Little Lingchong did not know what the national treasure was, so he blew out a bubble again. The cute panda was constrained in the bubble, with his short strong paws struggling. The boy flicked. The big bubble, like a boat, looked thin but solid indeed. The little panda suspended in the mid-air. Xiao Douya flew up to flip the bubble out. The little panda fell into the boy’s arms. Little Lingchong flapped its wings and showed disdain to the panda.

“Douya, do you like Gungun?” The panda was the national treasure of the 21st century. And there were plenty of rare treasures and exotic beasts in Yan Wu’s void. Liu Ruoshui was very curious about it. The fat spiritual creature did not eat meat! Unbelievably! Instead, it took a handful of bamboo leaves. Xiao Douya picked out the yellow bamboo tip and carefully fed it. Little Lingchong stood on the branch and remained arrogant. How could its young master forget it? Little Lingchong gathered spiritual fire and kicked to the panda. The panda was kicked meters away. Xiao Douya felt his heart ache for the panda and thought Little Lingchong was rather petulant.

Wuyou lifted up Little Lingchong and hung in on the tip of the branch. Its legs were bound by the spiritual power, and it struggled. Its little paws clenched the trees, unwilling to stand up. Yan Wu looked at it merrily and thought that little insect was extremely clever. The little panda picked up the delicate bamboo. It was the bad insect that hindered the panda to enjoy its delicious food. The little panda pulled Xiao Douya’s trouser pettishly. As the cutest pet in the 21st century, it was the panda’s nature to please its master. The little panda spit its tongue and showed its eight white teeth. Xiao Douya was amazed, and the little panda laughed.

“Uncle Yan Wu, it laughs.” Xiao Douya held up the little panda and jumped high. Yan Wu shook his head and thought that the little kid was so easy to please. Only a little panda would make him so jubilant. If Xiao Douya would get all the rare animals in the void, he would be too happy to sleep.

The beating of gongs and drums resounded to the skies in front of the city gate. The people of the Jin City came to welcome their heroes back. Zhan Ming pulled the rein. The horse reared up and stopped after a neigh. Madam Yu got off the carriage. The little soldiers at the city gate came up to pay a salute. Xu Linghe came to the city wall.

“General Yu and Commander Zhan, thank you.” Zhan Ming paid a salute in kowtow. It was the highest honor that the Majesty greeted them in person. Madam Yu knelt on the ground, unwilling to stand up. Madam Xu saved her twice for the sake of Commander in Chief. Jiang Wuyou was magnanimous, though she still had some complaints about her facial disfigurement.
