CHAPTER 265: CHAPTER 260: HEROINE AND DEMONESS

After the downfall of Medicine Valley, the Demoness of the Demon Sect deceived Yin Shaochen to acquire vulnerabilities of various sects. Then, seizing the moment while the Central Plains Martial World was unprepared, they launched sudden assaults. In less than five years, the Central Plains Martial World was butchered by the Demon Sect.

The common folk of the entire Central Plains suffered immensely, yet Yin Shaochen, the Young Master of Chongjian Manor, was only focused on romancing with the Demoness Leng Zhao Yue. In the end, he retreated to live in seclusion in the mountains with the Demoness, leading a carefree and unrestrained life with his partner.

After his death, Ye Qiu harbored intense hatred for his own cowardice and incompetence, detesting himself for trusting the selfish and brainless Yin Shaochen, which eventually led to the downfall of Medicine Valley and the tragic death of his parents.

In this new life, Ye Qiu resolved to master his parents’ unique skills, expose the illicit relationship between Yin Shaochen and the Demoness of the Demon Sect, and ensure they received their deserved retribution, saving both Medicine Valley and the Central Plains Martial World.

Upon learning all this, Ye Qiu climbed out of a dark chest; this was her own beautifully decorated boudoir, filled with many exotic treasures.

Ye Chongtian and his wife, one the Medicine King and the other the Poisonous Lady, were seen as both righteous and evil in the world, but they became low-key only after their daughter was betrothed to the Young Master of Chongjian Manor.

Even though they hadn’t left the valley for nearly ten years, the wealth they accumulated from the past was staggering, not to mention the seriously ill people who occasionally came seeking treatment outside the valley, paying substantial sums. Medicine Valley may not be the wealthiest sect in the world, but it was certainly among the top three.

What grieved Ye Qiuxin the most was that when Medicine Valley was breached, as her soul was scattering, she watched helplessly as her family’s treasures were plundered by the Demon Sect. In this life, she absolutely could not let the Demoness Leng Zhao Yue succeed again.

"Brother Tian, maybe I should leave the valley for a bit, perhaps after having a child, Qiu’er might settle down," Ye Lingxian discussed with her husband.

Ye Chongtian frowned, showing disapproval and worries, "It’s been almost ten years since you’ve left the valley, might it not be safe?"

Ye Lingxian laughed, "Have you forgotten who I am? I am the Poisonous Lady who terrifies everyone in the world! Don’t worry, it will be fine, I’m just going out to find a few children with potential, I won’t be long."

"Then take more medicine and hidden weapons with you, and don’t expose yourself in any trouble," Ye Chongtian was still somewhat uneasy.

"Yes, I have everything prepared."

"I want to go too," Ye Qiu came out just in time and spoke to her parents.

Upon seeing her, Ye Chongtian’s eyebrows furrowed and his eyes widened, "You crazy girl, finally willing to come out? You run faster than lightning when it’s time to study, but come out to cause trouble when you hear your mother is leaving the valley, how far have you memorized the Pharmacy Scripture? Go back and study immediately."

Ye Qiu was not at all afraid of her father scolding her, she ran to Ye Lingxian and began to act coquettishly, "Mom, look at dad, always scolding me, it’s always about memorizing books, it’s so boring, I want to leave the valley, mom, please take me with you, I’m already ten and I haven’t gone out yet!"

Ye Lingxian’s face showed hesitation, "But it’s dangerous outside, Qiu’er, be good, wait until you’re a bit older to go out."

"But mom, is it going to be less dangerous out there when I’m a bit older? Besides, with you there, who would dare to touch me?" Ye Qiu’s eyes flickered, "If you’re still worried, let dad come with us too, our family of three has never strolled through the streets together! I heard from Uncle Butler that the streets outside are very lively."

It was obvious that the Poisonous Lady, who terrified everyone outside, was a virtuous and tender-hearted little woman at home, helplessly looking at her daughter and then pleadingly at her husband.

She had always been hesitant, wondering whether keeping her daughter confined in the valley was protecting her or harming her, thinking back to when she and her senior brother were taught by their master, traveling everywhere from north to south. Yet now her daughter was ten years old, and it was normal for her to want to see the outside world.

Ye Chongtian could be very strict with his daughter, but he had no way of doing the same with his wife, and his wife easily softened whenever their daughter acted spoiled. Over time, that little girl had taken hold of his weakness, and every time he was strict with her, she would go and plead with her mother.

Ye Chongtian glanced at his daughter, but also considered her suggestion. He had grown up with his wife since childhood, learning together, never separating, and he was worried about her encountering danger if she went out this time, but he had to stay for his daughter’s sake. Yet taking his daughter with them might also be feasible.

Although the daughter was mischievous, what she said was not wrong; with him and his wife around, there were few in the martial world who could harm them.

"Are you not going to pack a couple of clothes? What are you standing there for, don’t you want to go out anymore?" Ye Chongtian glared at the little girl again, which was his way of agreeing.

Seeing his wife and daughter exchange smiles, Ye Chongtian felt helplessly sweet.

Ye Qiu sighed in relief when she saw her father agree to their family going out together, in fact, this had happened in her previous life, but her father hadn’t agreed, sending her mother out alone and she returned badly hurt.

If it hadn’t been for her mother’s severe injuries during that trip, the Demon Sect would not have invaded Medicine Valley so easily.

While packing, Ye Qiu specifically brought the Rainy Pear Blossom Needle given to her by her grandmaster. Rumored to be an exclusive hidden weapon of the reclusive Tang Sect, its power was immense. Since the previous dynasty hundreds of years ago, when the Tang Sect withdrew from the world, the Rainy Pear Blossom Needle had not been seen in the martial world.

Ye Qiu deeply suspected her grandmaster was the successor of Tang Sect. Otherwise, where would his profound knowledge of medicine and poisons, as well as the Rainy Pear Blossom Needle, come from?

However, since her grandmaster had wandered the world five years ago and had not returned, nobody knew where the once Medical Saint had gone.

"Qiu’er, take this," Ye Lingxian handed her daughter a pill and explained, "Our Medicine Valley has a unique location. When your father and I decided to settle here, we deliberately transformed the outside, planting poisonous plants and breeding countless poisonous insects within ten miles of Medicine Valley. Without my specially concocted antidote, it’s very hard to leave."

"Also, remember the path out of the valley. Your father specially set it up with the Five Elements Eight Trigrams Method. One wrong step can be extremely dangerous. Qiu’er, your mother is seriously telling you, you must never let anyone know the route out, alright?"

"Mother, rest assured, I will not tell anyone else," Ye Qiu promised solemnly.

This lifetime, she would absolutely not be as foolish as in her past life, telling the secrets of Medicine Valley to that hypocritical self-seeker Yin Shaochen.

As soon as Ye Qiu thought of Yin Shaochen, her mother mentioned, "Brother Tian, since our family is going out this time, why don’t we take the opportunity to visit Brother Yin and Sister-in-law Yin at Chongjian Manor, and also see how Shaochen is doing?"

Ye Chongtian pondered for a moment and then agreed: "Yes, good idea."
