Chapter 4 - 4.Shimmering Hot Bath In A Pond!
'YOUNG MISS HAS GONE MAD!!' Wu Cheng screamed inside his head his jaw almost dropping to the floor showing his shocked expression.
Even Da Fu who was waiting by the door, leaning on the wall almost slipped and fell down flat on his face when he heard the outrageous roar of the little miss.
"M-Miss…."Da Fu tried approaching Le Fangling who was still curled up like a ball slightly trembling.
The system, "…."
<Yes, go and let the whole world hear this.>
'Did I just speak out loud?!' She wanted to smack herself in her face but refrained herself to prevent looking even more out of character.
"I mean, I am such a strong woman…Wahahahah…" Le Fangling realized she had actually almost…Yes..by a tiny bit she almost let the cat out of bag.
"Cough cough…." There was a stinging pain inside her chest when she tried to move around. There was a sharp pain and before she could come back from the pain, she coughed out a mouthful of blood.
<Host, don't get excited. You have serious internal bleedings.>
<You have a broken spine and a broken rib that had scratched the side of your left lungs.>
<On top of that you have ruptured blood vessels.>
'Ah.no wonder...' Le Fangling stopped moving and tried to calm down her body that was trembling due to pain. She leaned back on the old and smelly wood wall of the shed and tossed and turned around until she found a comfortable position.
"Young miss…Let us take you to the family doctor." Wu Cheng hurried towards her and kneeled down right in front of Le Fangling. He looked guiltily at her and shook his head while he clutched his fingers in to a tight fist.
He was helpless against the absolute law of the slaves. Obedience to their masters,their ultimate mark of slavery.
His hands unconsciously reached to his necks where there was a brownish red collar.
He could not do anything but look silently when the young miss of the family was beaten till not a single place in her body was left intact.
Taking the chance of the main master and mistress going to the imperial palace, Le Laoling beat the shit out of Le Fangling in the name of training.
Seeing the young miss silent, Wu Cheng was anxious and he approached her once again.
Le Fangling currently did not trust anyone in this world she had transmigrated in to.
'Hey, system can you heal me?' She spoke in her head hoping the system will answer.
<It is possible.>
<But it will require for me to manipulate your spiritual energy.>
"Cough…Don't I have enough spiritual energy?"
<Since your soul just transferred here and the body is also not in the best condition, using your spiritual energy is equivalent to you committing suicide..> The emotionless voice of system once again rang inside her head.
<As for what is spiritual energy you might ask, it is the essence in the nature that can help strengthen one's soul and body.>
<Cultivators absorb the spiritual essence present in the nature, store them in their dantian and channel them through their meridians.>
<These immortals can perform impossible miracles that can leave the mouth of mortals hanging in awe.>
The system finished its quick but informative session.
"Ohh..I see…" Le Fangling nodded her head as she briefly got the idea of the place she was at and how it worked. She remembered about the red aura covering the little brat from before which further enhanced her knowledge of this world.
That Laoling guy was also a cultivator. She was glad to not have confronted her head on in a fight.
"I will be fine, Wu Cheng… You can go now." Le Fangling noticed that the man was still waiting for her answer.
"But Miss…" Wu Cheng tried to reason with her but he stood up and quietly went outside and stood beside Da Fu guarding the door.
<Host, the injury in your body is too severe at the moment.>
'Then are you suggesting me to go to the house?' Le Fangling had a gut feeling it was a bad idea to jump into the place where the lunatic boy was in such a weak condition.
<No, You need to replenish your body with enough spiritual energy to stabilize your fluctuating spiritual energy.>
<The wound on the body will heal with the medicines but the injuries to your meridians that had been inflicted externally can not be healed by those medicines.>
'Then what do you suggest I do?' Xin Xiao who was new to this had a trouble catching on to its word. He was barely catching up with what the system was saying with his head now buzzing silently.
The fact that his meridians have been injured meant a lot of trouble when he tries to cultivate in future.
"Can I somehow stabilize my spiritual energy?" Le Fangling asked the system inside her head as she knew she was about to faint any second now. Her eyelids drooped clouding his senses. She wanted to resist it but it was getting harder to do so with each passing moment.
I can't fall asleep! She pinched her already broken skin in her things which some how brought back the sanity she was about to lose.
Falling asleep under this conditions means it was similar to courting death. She was going to resist this drowsiness. She was determined in his heart.
<Congratulations, you have successfully unlocked the ability: Sleep resistance (Basic level)>
[The host can activate this skill to resist sleep.]
[limitations- 10 minutes
The host will fall into deep slumber after the 10 minutes time is up!!]
Le Fangling looked at the blue transparent screen that appeared in front of her once again. She had no idea what this ability will be useful for but he was happy to have acquired another new skill.
As an insomniac person, he thought it was wasted on him nevertheless.
Until now he had acquired three skills; Heavenly sensation, Pain resistance and sleep resistance.
Although all of them looked awesome, Xin Xiao wanted to cry salty tears because of their limitation and criteria.
"What about my question from before?" Le Fangling asked painstakingly as she held on to the last thread of her consciousness.
<Ding!!!>
The stats tab grew brighter shade of blue. The sudden glow made her widen his eyes in surprise and looked at the two guards who were waiting for her cautiously. She almost felt that they could also see this flying screen.
.
A simple map appeared on the tab screen with blue and red dots. Looking closely she saw tiny green dots far away from these dots. As for the graphics…she did not have much to say about it. It was a two dimensional map but it did the trick.
As for the whole map, she only recognized the blue mass as some kind of water reserve. As for other weird things…Ahemm..she meant symbols on the map she had no idea.
Instead of wracking his brain, she decided to wait for the system to start its description.
<The blue dot here is you, the two red dots near you are the guards and those green dots are the other people that are almost 40 m away from you.>
The mechanical voice of the system like how she had expected rang inside his head.
<This place…> on the blue map which she had thought to be water body, an arrow appeared.
<This place is the nearest place with the strongest spiritual energy.>
'What is it? A water body?' Ignoring the pain in the body she asked the system raising her eyebrows.
<yes, isn't it obvious just looking at the drawings?>
<Then that pile of shit over there?> Le Fangling gestured at the brown pile of who knows what.
<It ain't no shit… That's the main house of Le Family.>
"…..", Someone please tell the system it sucked at drawings. Le Fangling did not whether to laugh or pity the system.
It's fine. Everyone has their own weaknesses. She gave imaginary back pats to the system.
"Okay, Back to the topic. What am I supposed to do there?" Le Fangling had a feeling she was going to hear something unexpected from the system and what she heard was more than enough to confirm the strange feeling in her heart.
<You will take a shimmering hot bath in the pond to collect necessary spiritual energy.>
