“Lord Jue, you mean….. the Middle Realm has begun on their plans?” Ye Mei asked slightly startled.
Jun Wu Yao gave a light laugh.
“I am not certain whether they have started, but over the past one thousand years, they would naturally not stay idle and would have done quite a lot of things.”
“Then all the more Lord Jue must not meet with them now. Otherwise…..” Ye Mei gritted his teeth and did not finish his words, but the hatred in his eyes was however clear to see.

Chapter 1942: “Secretly Hidden (2)”
“So what even if we meet? Would they then possibly kill me?” Jun Wu Yao asked with an eyebrow raised, the arrogance in his eyes clearly apparent.
Ye Mei lowered his head. He knew, that even if they were to once again encounter those people and they were to fall in defeat, those people would definitely not take Lord Jue’s life, but…..
Jun Wu Yao stared in the direction of the tightly shut door and the icy smile on his face became a little warmer, a little more gentle.
“Maybe it’s time that I should bring the little one to go have a look around the Four Sides.”
Ye Mei was slightly taken aback as he raised his head up in surprise.
“Lord Jue, you are going to tell Young Miss about that matter?”
Jun Wu Yao rubbed at his chin.
“Little Xie’s mind is not something any normal person could compare to. When she comes to know about it, she might have some other way to deal with them. In that way, even if something were to happen to me, I am to belief that she would be able to deal with it with her capabilities.”
“Lord Jue! How could my Lord even mention something so ominous and unlucky!” Even Ye Sha had become anxious as he fell to the ground with a thud.
Jun Wu Yao arched up an eyebrow to look at his two stern faced subordinates, and he suddenly broke out into laughter.
“Having followed me for so many years, when would you guys be able to change that personality of yours? What I have said to both of you today, you two better remember it well. What is mine, is Little Xie’s as well. The Dark Regions is mine, and is also hers, as is everything that I possess. You guys know what to do.” Jun Wu Yao said it highly casually, but in the ears of Ye Sha and Ye Mei, it was like their hearts were being sliced by a knife.
Lord Jue’s words were just too shocking to them, as it sounded like he was giving instructions for his own funeral arrangements…..
Jun Wu Yao immediately turned around to go back into the room after saying that, and sat down by the bed to look at Jun Wu Xie’s exquisite sleeping countenance, his eyes rising with a rarely seen gentleness.
[Little one, you’ve got to grow up quickly.]
Ye Sha and Ye Mei completely lost their mood for anything, their faces turning an extremely ugly shade. Even Mu Chen had been startled to see two such grim faces when he came, bringing in the medicine.
Jun Wu Xie’s vision took a turn for the better on the second day. Only just feeling a little better and she already could not remain idle but went running outside immediately.
The aftereffects of the Spirit Transformation Elixir that Qiao Chu and the others took struck them very quickly. The bunch of youths were acting like they had fallen gravely ill, unable to rise after a single stumble. Their reactions startled Mu Chen greatly, as he had not discovered any heavy injuries on their bodies. So how did these bunch of perfectly fine and healthy youths suddenly turn to become so frail and weak in barely an instant?
Just as Mu Chen was feeling completely befuddled, Jun Wu Xie came rushing in right at that moment.
Within the room, Qiao Chu and the several others were flopped lazily over soft couches. The handsome and beautiful faces that had been filled with so much vigor were now showing an extraordinary paleness. Jun Wu Xie was standing right before them, but she could not feel the slightest bit of spirit power from their bodies.
The side effects of the Spirit Transformation Elixir had struck them fully, and Qiao Chu and the gang had lost all their spirit powers.
“Heh, Little Xie….. You’re looking fine aren’t you? You really scared us so badly that day you know?” Qiao Chu raised up a hand to wave tiredly, like he had no strength left. He really wanted to be as bouncy and jump around like always, but his weak and frail body really couldn’t summon up the slightest bit of strength.
Whatever intense benefits the Spirit Transformation Elixir had given to him, it also brought the very same level of adverse effects.
Jun Wu Xie narrowed her eyes as she looked at her pale faced companions and she went walking forward, taking their pulses one by one.
The results from her diagnosis was just like she had imagined.
The several of them who had possessed strong and healthy bodies, had now all become sickly and frail, a lack of Qi in their blood. If she did not know them before, she might have thought that this was a group of Young Masters who grouped themselves together to come seek medical treatment from her.
“I’ve reminded all of you before, unless you are left with no other choice, to not take the Spirit Transformation Elixir.” After seeing the state of their pulse, even Jun Wu Xie was finding it rather hard to bear.
Volume 20
Chapter 1943: “Medicinal Brew (1)”
Qiao Chu scratched his head with a rather sheepish smile.
“Little Xie, the Spirit Transformation Elixir was just fantastic! With such an amazing thing in our hands, how can we resist ourselves from using it?”
Jun Wu Xie shot Qiao Chu a cold gaze, and Qiao Chu suddenly found it hard to maintain his smile.
“Without it, we’ll not have been able to exact revenge with our own two hands.” Fei Yan suddenly piped in. The effects of the Spirit Transformation Elixir could be said to have been powerful and intense, but its side effects were astronomical as well. For a whole year after that, the entire group of them would be as good as the most useless of trash. But having exacted their deepest blood vengeance, not to mention asking them to just be trash for a year, even if its adverse effects were to affect them for life, they would have been willing to suffer the consequences.
Jun Wu Xie looked at her companions’ determined gazes and although she was feeling rather helpless at that moment, she could understand what they were thinking.
If their positions had been reversed, where the Twelve Palaces had massacred everyone in the Lin Palace, she would go exact revenge even at the risk of her life as well.
“So that means all of you have prepared yourselves well?” Jun Wu Xie said.
Immediately, Qiao Chu nodded his head thoughtlessly, but halfway through, he suddenly froze for a while.
“Prepared for what?”
Jun Wu Xie arched up an eyebrow and clapped her hands together.
The doors were immediately pushed open in that instant, and outside, Yue Ye, Yue Yi, and Long Qi were carrying several bowls of medicinal brew as they came in. Upon the tray in Yue Ye’s hands, there was even a whole bunch of bottles in different shapes and sizes.
Yue Yi and Long Qi then placed the steaming hot bowls of medicinal brew right before Qiao Chu and the rest of the gang.
Qiao Chu and the gang stared at the brew and then looked at Jun Wu Xie.
Jun Wu Xie’s face was cold.
Qiao Chu gulped discreetly and then picked up the bowl of medicinal brew to sniff his nose over it.
“Blargh….. What kind of medicine is this! ? Why does it smell just like faeces! ? I really feel like puking!” Qiao Chu almost tossed the bowl of medicinal brew. There was no other way to describe that smell.
“I prescribed it. You have an opinion about it?” Jun Wu Xie asked, an eyebrow raising up threateningly.
Qiao Chu’s face twisted up in a grimace and quickly shook his head to say: “No opinions! No opinions at all!”
The other few of the companions were shocked by the smell of the brew as well. Before they could open their mouths to say a word about it, they already saw Qiao Chu completely stumped
by Jun Wu Xie, and they immediately swallowed back their words that had been right at the tip of their tongues.
The fact that they had taken the Spirit Transformation Elixir straightaway had already irked Jun Wu Xie quite a bit. If they were to make all sorts of excuses now with these medicinal brews…..
Without a word, Fan Zhuo picked up the bowl and poured the brew straight into his mouth, downing it all cleanly at one go.
“It’s alright, it isn’t really all that bad to take.” Fan Zhuo said with a smile.
He had been quick downing the brew, but if his hand had not shook when he was putting the bowl down, he might have been a little more convincing.
It must be known that Fan Zhuo had grown up immersed in all kinds of medicinal brews and elixirs. From a young age till now, things like medicinal brews to him, he must have drunk like about ten thousand bowls or several thousand at the very least. But when even Fan Zhuo was showing such a reaction after drinking the medicinal brew…..
Qiao Chu almost burst out in tears as he stared at the medicinal brew.
Rong Ruo and Hua Yao steeled themselves as they poured the medicine down their throats and they two of them just fell back and laid limply in their couches with their hands covering their mouths, causing Qiao Chu and Fei Yan to tremble more violently as they looked at the two of them.
[This your mother’s thing here can really be drunk?]
“You’re not going to drink?” Jun Wu Xie asked, staring at the two guys who still had not drunk a sip of the brew, her eyes seemingly saying: [You’d better drink it all up or I’ll make you do it myself.]
That scared Qiao Chu and Fei Yan so badly that they immediately cleaned out the bowl in an instant.
After finishing it, their two faces were so mournful like life held no meaning for them, their hands clasped over their mouth to prevent themselves from vomiting the medicinal brew back out.
Never in their entire lives had they drunk something so absolutely vile and nasty!
“Finished drinking?” Jun Wu Xie swept her eyes over the lot of them.
The several youths nodded their heads listlessly.
“Good. Now drink up the next bowl as well.” Jun Wu Xie’s voice had just dropped when Long Qi immediately brought in the enormous pot of medicinal brew in.
Volume 20
Chapter 1944: “Medicinal Brew (2)”
Qiao Chu and the gang immediately collapsed in tears.
There’s more! !
“Little Xie….. We still have to drink it?” Qiao Chu’s face went from white to black, crying tearlessly as he stared at the pot of medicinal brew that was the same width as a grown man’s waist.
What kind of a brewing pot was that! ? It’s a water urn you know! ?
“Good medicine tastes bitter. What? You don’t want to drink it?” Jun Wu Xie raised up an eyebrow alarmingly, the threat clear to see.
With that, who dared to resist? All of them could only look mournfully at Jun Wu Xie with pure and utter despair in their eyes.
Long Qi struggled to suppress the smile from showing on his face and under Jun Wu Xie’s instructions, he filled up the bowls with medicinal brew for Qiao Chu and the others. Looking at the murky black brew swirling in their bowls, the companions’ faces were looking uglier than when they had finished the first bowl.
Even if this was some miracle medicine, but its taste…..
Can they just choose to continue being sick and frail instead?
It was very clear that the answer would be negative.
The bunch of youths summoned up steely determination comparable to the most valiant of warriors, to lift up their bowls to just pour the brew down their throats.
With that second bowl swirling in their bellies, they truly experienced what it was like to live feeling they’re better off dead.
Fei Yan was not able to endure it well as he lay sprawled over the side of his bed to retch but nothing came out, filling his entire mouth with the taste of the medicinal brew, almost killing himself with the smell.
Tears flowed from his eyes from his retching and Fei Yan felt as if he was going to die.
Qiao Chu was not doing any much better as he struggled so hard to hold it in, his face turning a deep red from suppression.
Hua Yao, Rong Ruo and Fan Zhuo handled it a little better, but they laid there with their lips stiff, and it was not difficult to see that they were trying very hard to tolerate the ordeal.
Unfortunately, the cruel torment had not ended yet. After the second bowl, Long Qi came around with the pot and poured out medicine for all of them again.
Qiao Chu was almost glaring at Long Qi with indignant rage. “Big Brother Long Qi, are you sure that there’s more of it in that pot?” [Can’t he see that they’re dying here? Can he be a little humane about it and spare a thought for them! ?]
Long Qi looked at Qiao Chu with a highly serious expression and said in stoic righteousness: “Young Miss has already measured out seven portions for the five of you here.” So, with them having merely finished just one or two bowls each, even if he wanted to pretend the pot is already empty, Jun Wu Xie would not believe it.
“Se….. Seven portions…..” Qiao Chu’s eyes flared wide like a goldfish, staring incredulously at Long Qi. He just could not believe what kind of a number he had just heard.
The faces of all the others turned so pale they looked green.
“All of you will have to take this medicine everyday from now onwards.” Jun Wu Xie opened her mouth once again, dumping upon them a piece of news that threw the minds of Qiao Chu and the gang into absolute chaos.
In that instant, the five youths turned to stone.
[They have to drink that everyday…..]
“I….. I feel faint….. I need to sleep for awhile.” Fei Yan quickly crawled under his blanket and curled himself into a ball, determined that he was going to play dead.
“Sure you can. Long Qi, keep Fei Yan’s portion aside. Heat it up for him to finish later at night.” How could Jun Wu Xie possibly allow him to escape.
Bundled up under his blanket, Fei Yan shivered.
Fan Zhuo was the one who accepted his fate most readily. It might be because he was most used to drinking medicinal brews and although the taste of the medicine made it really hard to swallow, but he had long learned to numb his sense of taste while taking medicine. He downed the bowl of medicine cleanly and beckoned Long Qi to quickly fill his bowl up again, finishing up the remaining bowls at one go.
With seven bowls of the medicinal brew in his stomach, Fan Zhuo immediately regretted it. Those seven bowls had filled his stomach completely, with the brew stuck at the back of his throat, the smell and taste of it assaulting him constantly. Fan Zhuo sunk into pure despair.
Under Jun Wu Xie’s watchful gaze, Qiao Chu and the others resigned themselves to their fate and finished all the medicine. After finishing it, all of them lay barely half alive on their beds like they were all afflicted with a grave illness.
Jun Wu Xie glanced at Yue Ye and Yue Ye immediately carried a whole pile of elixirs bottles as she smilingly walked over to stand right before Qiao Chu and the companions.
Volume 20
Chapter 1945: “Medicinal Brew (3)”
Jun Wu Xie glanced at Yue Ye and Yue Ye immediately carried a whole pile of elixirs bottles as she smilingly walked over to stand right before Qiao Chu and the companions.
“Time for my Uncle Masters to take their medicine.” Yue Ye said as she looked smilingly at Qiao Chu and the others, seemingly oblivious to their looks of utter despair while she brought the tray in and placed it onto the table. She used five little boxes to separate five portions of medicine, pouring out elixirs from every single bottle into them before she went on to place them on the edge of the mattresses Qiao Chu and the others were lying on.
Hua Yao swept a glance over the elixirs in the box, that one fleeting look seeing that it was filled to the brim, with several layers of pills in there…..
This was as good
as asking them to swallow elixirs as people would for rice!
However, after having suffered the torment from the medicinal brew, the hearts of the gang had already as good as died inside them. Knowing that it was useless for them to resist, they could only resign themselves to their fate as they poured the elixirs into their mouths like they would beans. The most terrifying thing about it was that the elixirs melted immediately once inside their mouths, the vilely bitter taste in no way inferior to the medicinal brew earlier. That mouthful of elixirs caused the youths to sink so deeply into sorrowful rage they just wanted to die, but could do nothing but to swallow it all, their faces turned red from holding it in.
Their bellies had already been filled up completely with medicinal brew earlier and now they had to stuff in another box full of elixirs.
They all very nearly vomited everything out.
Having never despised themselves before, the bunch of youths absolutely abhorred the kind of taste their mouths were making them feel at that moment.
“Little bright moon….. Can you get your Master Uncles here a bit of water?” Qiao Chu asked with a trembling hand stretched out, the corners of his eyes glinting with suspicious wetness.
(Translator’s note: Little Yue, 月 means moon in Chinese)
Yue Ye looked at Qiao Chu’s mournful expression and asked: “Will the Master Uncles still be able to swallow it?”
“Just to rinse our mouths…..” [Don’t make me speak anymore. I am already beginning to despise this mouth of mine already!]
Yue Ye looked at her Master Uncles before her and then turned her head to look at her Master. Seeing Jun Wu Xie nodded her head in agreement, she then tottered herself outside in a run to bring a flask of cold tea, where she then poured out a cup for Qiao Chu and the others. The whole group of youths then frantically rinsed out their mouths, wishing toe wash out the sticky layer of goo that covered the inside of their mouths entirely.
