墨書 Inktalez
In the quiet cave of Shepan Mountain, a faint aura of spiritual energy lingered in the air.
Su Wan'er had her eyes tightly shut, surrounded by a soft blue glow that swirled around her.
After a century of arduous cultivation, today was the day!
If she could break through this final barrier, she would truly join the ranks of transformed great demons and soon ascend to immortality.
“Jie jie jie!”
A nauseating cackle shattered the tranquility.
“What a lovely water spirit snake demon! To think you’re about to break through after a hundred years of cultivation—heaven truly favors me!”
At the cave entrance stood a grotesque Toad Spirit, its bloated body covered in warts, greedily eyeing Su Wan'er.
“Once I take your She Dan, I too will greatly enhance my cultivation and soon become an immortal!”
Having lurked around the mountains for thousands of years, this Toad Spirit had gained intelligence by sheer luck in its early days but had always been mediocre. It never expected that a mere snake demon like Su Wan'er could reach the gates of immortality in such a short time.
“Damn it!”
Su Wan'er cursed inwardly; just when it mattered most, a roadblock appeared!
“Get lost!”
She forcibly interrupted her cultivation, spitting out a mouthful of vital blood, her face turning as pale as paper.
A century’s worth of effort was about to go to waste!
“You stinking toad, do you really think I’m easy to bully?”
With an angry shout, the blue light around Su Wan'er surged violently, transforming into a sharp beam of sword light that sliced toward Zhao Lina.
“Oh ho, quite feisty!”
Zhao Lina cackled and opened her mouth, unleashing a stream of foul-smelling dark green venom.
"Just a trivial skill!"
Su Wan'er moved gracefully, dodging the venom and striking towards Zhao Lina's face with her palm.
"Bang!"
Zhao Lina was knocked back several steps, a clear palm print appearing on her face.
"You filthy snake, you really hit hard!"
Zhao Lina, furious and humiliated, opened her mouth wide, revealing two rows of sharp teeth, and lunged at Su Wan'er.
"Seeking death!"
Su Wan'er’s eyes turned cold as she condensed a blue light blade at her fingertips, mercilessly stabbing towards Zhao Lina's abdomen.
"Thud!"
The light blade pierced flesh, and Zhao Lina let out a piercing scream as blood splattered everywhere.
"You’re ruthless! I’ll remember this!"
Holding her wound, Zhao Lina glared fiercely at Su Wan'er before turning and leaping into the bushes, fleeing in embarrassment.
Watching Zhao Lina's retreating figure, Su Wan'er wanted to give chase but felt a sharp pain surge through her body.
Forcibly interrupting her cultivation would surely have repercussions!
"Thud!"
Another mouthful of blood spewed forth as Su Wan'er could no longer hold on; darkness enveloped her vision as she collapsed at the cave entrance.
"What... what is this?"
After an unknown amount of time, Su Wan'er faintly heard a man's voice.
"It seems like a person..."
Toad Spirit was an ordinary hunter who ventured into the mountains to gather herbs, and he was stunned by the sight before him.
A tattered woman lay in a pool of blood, her stunning beauty marred by pain.
"Saving a life is worth more than building a seven-story pagoda."
Toad Spirit gritted his teeth, disregarding everything else, and carefully picked up Su Wan'er.
"She... she’s so heavy!"
Toad Spirit had never carried a woman before, let alone an injured Su Wan'er. It felt as if he were lifting a heavy stone, each step proving to be exceptionally difficult.
"Ha... ha..."
Toad Spirit gasped for breath as he finally brought Su Wan'er back to his humble thatched cottage.
"First, I need to stop the bleeding!"
He tore off a piece of his worn clothing and hastily bandaged Su Waner's wounds.
Looking at her pale face, a pang of compassion rose in his heart.
"I hope she can pull through."
...
After an unknown amount of time, Su Wan'er slowly opened her eyes.
What greeted her was a simple thatched cottage and a young man who was brewing medicine.
"You’re awake?"
Toad Spirit heard the movement and quickly set down the pot he was holding, rushing to Su Waner's side.
"Where is this...?"
Su Wan'er’s voice was weak; she felt utterly drained, as if all her strength had been siphoned away.
"My home."
Toad Spirit handed Su Wan'er a steaming bowl of medicinal soup. "You were injured, and I brought you back."
"Thank you..."
Su Wan'er took the bowl and gently sipped, a bitter taste spreading across her tongue.
"No need to thank me."
Toad Spirit smiled warmly, "It was just a small effort."
As Su Wan'er looked at Toad Spirit's simple smile, a wave of warmth surged in her heart.
She was originally a demon, long accustomed to the greed and ugliness of humanity, yet she never expected to encounter such kindness in her moment of weakness.
"I... I am Su Wan'er."
"I am Toad Spirit."
