Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1039 White Moon Brahma Star 4

Bai Xun truly loves his people like his own children, and he dotes on his daughter with all his heart. The first thing he noticed when he woke up was that his daughter Bai Shuo looked pale and weak. However, he thought that Bai Shuo looked like this because she had been taking care of him day and night, so he awkwardly ordered Bai Shuo to go back and rest, and he turned around and went to the study to find out about the current situation in the city.

Bai Shuo also turned around and found Jiang Xinxin, wanting to follow Jiang Xinxin to pick more spiritual herbs that can drive away bad luck, "Feng Xin, are there many of these herbs in the mountains? How much does Dad need to get rid of all the demon poison? And there are other people in the city, they also need it very much!"

Jiang Xinxin thought that even if there weren't enough, it wouldn't stop her from growing a large herb in a short time, so she nodded firmly and said, "I can't say for sure what the condition of this spiritual herb is. It grows in a place where few people go, but there are indeed a lot of them. I picked these first just to try out how effective they are against the demon poison."

Bai Shuo was relieved. "I'll take someone with you. I'm worried that the situation in the city will recur. It's better to cure the person as soon as possible."

But Fuling and others did not give the Bai family more time to react. The people in the city had gathered together and directly besieged the City Lord's Mansion. They did not do anything else but knelt in one place and begged the City Lord Bai Xun to give them medicine, because they heard that the City Lord Bai Xun was also poisoned by the demon, but now a way to detoxify has been found.

No one wants to die at the critical moment of life and death, not to mention that Bai Xun had already whetted the appetites of the people in Ning'an City. They wanted to survive, so naturally they would not care about many things. After Bai Xun learned the news, he had to stand up and express his position.

Bai Xun was more concerned about the people in the city, but the old housekeeper was more concerned about Bai Shuo. He quickly stopped Bai Xun and said, "Master, you woke up because the second young lady cultivated a rare flower. This flower can be used as medicine to suppress the demon poison, but the cultivation conditions are very harsh, so the second young lady looked very haggard these days."

"And Feng Xin, the granddaughter adopted by Nanny Feng, also brought back a magical herb from outside the city that is said to be able to drive away bad luck. Maybe it was the exotic flower, the magical herb, or the combined effect of the two that woke you up."

When it came to his only remaining daughter, Bai Shuo, Bai Xun's mind became clearer. He sighed and said, "I understand. Go gather some good fighters and get ready with the guards in the mansion. Then go ask Feng Xin where he got the spiritual herbs from."

Although it was not very fair to push Feng Xin to the front to help cover up Bai Shuo, Bai Xun felt that temporarily concealing Feng Xin's contribution was also a kind of protection. When he walked out of the City Lord's Mansion, he did not feel any guilt.

Originally, Jiang Xinxin had no intention of hiding the place where the spiritual herbs grew. She had already prepared a simple map while talking to Bai Shuo. Anyway, she had no intention of making things difficult for others from the beginning. However, for something like spiritual herbs, it would be easier to fake it only by finding a place where there were few people.

When the old housekeeper came over with a box of treasures and asked, Jiang Xinxin quickly handed over the map she had just drawn and declined the thank-you gift, "Look at what you said. Not to mention that I am also a citizen of Ning'an City, but in the past, my grandmother was able to die of old age, all thanks to the kindness of the City Lord's Mansion."

The situation was urgent, so the old housekeeper left the box of treasures behind and winked at Bai Shuo, wanting her to persuade him as well. Bai Shuo of course understood what the old housekeeper meant, and turned around and advised, "Feng Xin, you should accept these things. This is not just the intention of the mansion, but also the intention of the entire Ning'an City."

Just now the old housekeeper came over and said that other arrangements had been made for collecting herbs. Bai Shuo didn't insist on helping out. Perhaps it wasn't that she didn't want to, but that her body was just too weak.

When Jiang Xinxin went there before, she was only bleeding a pot of youcao. In fact, she had another patch of youcao in the small garden in her yard, and it was almost blooming now. They were all grown with her blood.

However, Jiang Xinxin still underestimated the ruthlessness of Fuling and his group. Collecting herbs takes time. Even if some people saw that the City Lord's Mansion already had a response plan and were willing to retreat temporarily, Fuling, who was hiding aside, actually used her magic power to directly trigger the demon poison that had not yet been completely eliminated from Bai Xun's body, causing him to turn into a madman again in front of everyone, gradually losing his mind and starting to hurt people.

The people around were hiding in panic, and at the same time they began to suspect that Bai Xun's so-called magical herb that could cure the evil spirit was a lie. In fear, they even started to curse Bai Xun.

The noise outside the mansion alarmed Jiang Xinxin. Bai Shuo had just taken a blood-replenishing medicine and had fallen asleep. Jiang Xinxin thought about it and decided to set up a barrier for her and went out to check the situation.

Bai Xun would bite anyone he caught. When Jiang Xinxin went over, she saw Bai Xun had caught an old father who was accidentally caught while protecting his child. The little girl begged Bai Xun to let her father go. Amid the child's begging, Bai Xun actually gradually regained some of his sanity. Jiang Xinxin took the opportunity to help him cut off the flow of the evil poison in his body, allowing him to temporarily regain his sanity.

Fuling hid aside and watched Jiang Xinxin take action to restore Bai Xun's sanity. She narrowed her eyes slightly, and looked at Jiang Xinxin with endless danger. She couldn't help but say, "What a good Miss Xin! I was wrong about her."

Even though Jiang Xinxin's behavior was unexpected, Fuling still had no intention of letting Bai Shuo go. She released her demonic power and transformed herself into a maid in the city lord's mansion. She rushed directly into Bai Shuo's room and shouted, "Second Miss, Second Miss! Something's happened to the city lord. It's terrible!"

Bai Shuo had just fallen asleep for less than a quarter of an hour, but the maid Fuling transformed into had a sharp and thin voice, which woke her up directly. Bai Shuo had never had the habit of taking her anger out on servants before, especially since the other party was saying that her father was in trouble. She struggled to get up, grabbed the maid's hand and asked hurriedly: "What's going on? Why is Daddy not well?!"

The maid Fuling transformed into pretended to be anxious and frightened and said, "Our city lord's mansion has been surrounded by those lowly people. They forced the city lord to hand over the antidote. The master said that he had sent people to the mountain to collect herbs, but they didn't believe it and started to curse the city lord. Then, they felt that cursing was not enough and even attacked the city lord!"

"The city lord was so angry that he lost control again and has already bitten several people!"

Bai Shuo's eyes went dark when he heard that, and he almost fell off the bed. The maid Fuling transformed into was here to cause trouble, and she would not feel sorry for her, a delicate young lady from the city lord's mansion. She was still pretending to be there and yelling, "Oh, when I came over, I turned around and saw our city lord holding a man. The man was held by the city lord to protect his daughter. I don't know what the situation is now."

Bai Shuo stood up and walked towards the door. After he left the door and put some distance between himself and the maid Fuling transformed into, he asked in a stern voice, "Who are you and why are you causing trouble in the City Lord's Mansion?"

Fuling had never expected that the second young lady of the City Lord's Mansion, who seemed to be so devoted to seeking immortality that she sealed away demons, actually had some brains and saw through her calculations. She was too lazy to hide it and directly revealed her true face. She chuckled and said, "Second young lady is really impressive. Why, are you so sure that your father is really not in danger?"

Bai Shuo took a deep breath and secretly pinched his thigh to keep his mind clear. "You should be the demon king of Lengquan Palace that Fan Yue mentioned. It seems that the demon poison in Ning'an City is also your work. I advise you to hand over the antidote quickly. Otherwise, when the immortals arrive, you, the demon king, will not get any benefits."
