Chapter Five Hundred and Sixty-Nine

But if Lan Wan’er were the Saintess of the Black Witch Sect, how could she possibly serve as a handmaiden to a barbarian?

Hua Die felt perplexed within.

“Who I am is not the key, the key is that your companion is about to die,” Lan Wan’er said with a giggly smile.

Hua Die’s face changed, and she hurriedly squatted beside Pan Hu, only to find his breath was as thin as a thread, his hair as dry as wild grass, and his body emaciated, making it hard to imagine that he was once a strapping man standing at one meter ninety in height.

“Make up your mind quickly, do you want to be a handmaiden to my master or not? You can definitely save your companion,” Lan Wan’er tempted.

...

“I, how could I…” Hua Die was in a dilemma. As the Saintess of the Bai Witch Sect worshipped by countless people from the Miao villages and the guardian of the Miao Frontier, how could she possibly serve as a handmaiden to a barbarian?

“You don’t want to? Well, then just let your companion die,” Lan Wan’er spoke casually. “Looking at him, he must have been protecting you, right? Ah, when you think about it, it’s really sad. To save you, he had his vital essence completely drained. And now, though he could have lived, you’re unwilling to save him.”

Hua Die’s face turned unspeakably grim.

Pan Hu had grown up with her since they were young.

Later, when she was chosen as the Saintess by the Bai Witch Sect, Pan Hu also joined the sect and became her loyal warrior.

She was keenly aware of Pan Hu’s feelings for her, which certainly went beyond the usual master-servant relationship.

And her feelings for Pan Hu were deep, but as the Saintess of the Bai Witch Sect, she absolutely couldn’t easily interact with men.

Now, Pan Hu was in this state because of her, and had it not been for Long Xiaoshan’s rescue, she would have been finished.

With this in mind, she said, “Alright, as long as you can save Pan Hu, even if it means becoming a handmaiden, I agree.”

“Haha, good, very good! You said it yourself. Since you’re a Gu Master, you must be accountable to the Witch God for what you’ve promised,” Lan Wan’er clapped her hands, bursting with excitement.

Long Xiaoshan coughed and said, “Wan’er, stop talking nonsense. Let me take a look at your companion. I can’t guarantee that I can save him.”

Long Xiaoshan was just speaking off the cuff, as he couldn’t be too certain, seeing that Pan Hu was severely injured, and even he wasn’t sure he could definitely cure him.

However, Hua Die thought that Long Xiaoshan was just playing hard to get, that he wouldn’t try his best to heal Pan Hu unless she agreed. She knelt down before Long Xiaoshan with a plop and begged, “Please, I swear to the Witch God, as long as you save Pan Hu, I will definitely agree to be your handmaiden.”

Long Xiaoshan grunted and quickly said, “Didn’t I tell you, I will save him? Get up, please.”

He helped Hua Die to her feet and quickly walked over to Pan Hu.

Opening the Heavenly Eye, he checked Pan Hu’s body, which was almost drained of vital essence. He quickly took out a set of Golden Needles, inserting them into the various acupoints around Pan Hu’s body, then gave him an Elixir Pill to swallow.

Long Xiaoshan steadily rotated the Golden Needles around Pan Hu’s body.

Streams of True Qi flowed into him, stimulating Pan Hu’s exhausted organs, rekindling the vitality in his body. After more than ten minutes, Long Xiaoshan fed Pan Hu another Elixir Pill.

He continued to use the Golden Needles to stimulate the body’s vitality.

Again and again, Long Xiaoshan fed Pan Hu a total of five Elixir Pills, finally restoring vitality to Pan Hu’s body,

He pulled out the Golden Needles and said, “He’s finally saved.”

Hua Die hastily rushed to Pan Hu’s side to observe him.

At that moment, Pan Hu’s complexion had regained some color, no longer pale and bloodless.

Her body looked fuller, and her hair had returned to black.

Her pulse had also grown stronger, although she was still unconscious.

As a Gu Master from Miao Frontier who also understood medicine, she knew Pan Hu was out of danger. She turned and looked gratefully at Long Xiaoshan, “Thank you.”

Long Xiaoshan wiped the sweat from his forehead, took out an Elixir Pill, and swallowed it to restore his True Qi. He said, “It’s alright, I’m a doctor, it’s my duty.”

However, no sooner had Long Xiaoshan finished speaking than Lan Wan’er jumped out and said, “Are you planning to break your promise? Just a thank you and that’s it? Haven’t you seen how tired my master is?”

Hua Die’s face turned red.

Looking at Long Xiaoshan, who resembled a barbarian, her expression changed rapidly, and she finally lowered her head and said softly, “How could that be? I have already made an oath. I will fulfill my promise. From now on, you are my master.”

As she spoke, a white light flew out and landed on Long Xiaoshan.

Long Xiaoshan felt a pain in his hand as the snow-white cicada bit his finger, and suddenly, a connection formed in his mind. He quickly asked, “What is this?”

“This is my Life-bound Gu Worm. Now that it has drawn a thread of your blood, from today onwards, you are my master,” Hua Die said, her complexion revealing a hint of rosiness.

Long Xiaoshan spoke hastily, “What? No, there’s been a misunderstanding. I told you before, that was just a joke; Wan’er is always so mischievous.”

“Hee hee, master, it’s too late now. She has used her Life-bound Gu Worm to draw your blood; from now on, she is your handmaiden,” said Lan Wan’er with a wicked smile.

“Who would have thought that the Saintess of the Bai Witch Sect would become a handmaiden? If I were to spread this news to the Bai Witch Sect, I wonder if it would enrage those old fogeys to death, haha.”

Upon hearing Lan Wan’er’s words, Hua Die paled and said, “You, how did you know I am the Saintess of the Bai Witch Sect?”

Lan Wan’er moved close to Hua Die, extended her soft hand, and caressed Hua Die’s face, “Of course, I know. We’ve met before, haven’t you forgotten?”

Hua Die’s face grew even paler as she asked with a trembling voice, “Are you the Saintess of the Black Witch Sect?”

Lan Wan’er shrugged her shoulders.

“You, you’ve tricked me,” Hua Die said, her voice filled with humiliation and anger.

“Yes, I’ve tricked you. What about it? Go ahead, bite me,” Lan Wan’er said with a devilish grin.

Hearing these words, Hua Die felt utterly distraught. As the Saintess of the Bai Witch Sect, she had been outwitted by the Saintess of the Black Witch Sect and became the handmaiden of a barbarian. She had no idea how she would ever face anyone from the Bai Witch Sect again.

“I, I’ll kill you,” she said.

Hua Die activated her Life-bound Gu Worm and pounced toward Lan Wan’er, who let out a delicate hum. She, too, released her Life-bound Gu Worm, and the black butterfly clashed with Hua Die’s Gu Worm.

Seeing the two women actually fighting each other, with their Life-bound Gu Worms engaged, Long Xiaoshan shouted urgently, “Stop, both of you!”

The two women fought like archenemies, the battle fierce and seemingly intractable, the Gu Worms drawing blood, as if intent on killing each other.

When Long Xiaoshan saw that neither was listening despite his commands,

his expression turned sour. In a flash, he grabbed both Life-bound Gu Worms.
