Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 120 - 120 119 Shen Yourong_1

120: Chapter 119 Shen Yourong_1 120: Chapter 119 Shen Yourong_1 “You sure dodged quickly, but take another lash from me!” The woman lashed out again, her whip moving noticeably faster this time.

Lu Chuan was startled and instantly released his Spiritual Power, wrapping it around his arms to block the whip.

The whip struck Lu Chuan’s arms with a smack, sending him reeling back more than ten meters before he managed to stagger to a stop.

If he hadn’t reacted quickly just now, his arms might have been crippled.

“Eh?” The woman was surprised to see Lu Chuan block her attack and said with astonishment, “You can block my full-power whip, are you also a Transcendent?”

Lu Chuan gave a wry smile and said, “No, miss, let’s talk this out, please don’t go straight to using your whip.”

He had no concept of the power of the Transcendent Realm until now when he had taken a lash from this woman and learned firsthand how terrifying it was.

It seemed in the path of the Martial Path, the divide between Grandmaster Realm and Transcendent Realm was similarly a watershed.

Upon reaching the Transcendent Realm, one’s strength would undergo a fundamental change.

The woman snorted coldly, “Finally, someone who can speak properly.

Fine, seeing as you’re quite polite, I’ll let this guy off the hook.”

Having said that, she put away her whip and hung it at her waist.

Lu Chuan was utterly confused, thinking, ‘Is that considered polite?’.

Without overthinking it, he quickly went over to Su Ming, and let him down.

“Explain quickly, what exactly is going on here.”

Su Ming, with a look of aggrievement, moved his shoulders around and recounted the whole incident.

It turned out Su Ming had come across records of hundred-year medicinal herbs in the archives of the Profound Sect and knew where such a herb might grow.

So he went in search of the location described in the archives.

Because a place that allowed a medicinal herb to grow for a hundred years without being destroyed had to be extremely remote, Su Ming had an arduous journey to get there.

After some searching, he found a hundred-year medicinal herb on the edge of a cliff.

Overjoyed, he immediately climbed the cliff to pluck the herb.

But as soon as he picked it, a woman with a whip appeared, claiming the hundred-year herb was hers.

Following the principle of finders keepers, Su Ming naturally couldn’t just hand the herb over, resulting in the woman starting a fight.

After only a few moves, Su Ming realized that the woman’s strength was at the Transcendent Realm, far beyond his capabilities.

Therefore, he had to run with the medicinal herb, fortunately, he was faster than the woman, which saved him from being caught on the spot.

Su Ming ran all the way to the outskirts of Cloud City with the woman relentless in pursuit.

In desperation, he found a place to hide and contacted Lu Chuan for help.

No sooner had he made the call for help than the woman discovered his hiding place and attacked him.

Outmatched by the woman, Su Ming was swiftly defeated, and with no other choice, he handed over the medicinal herb.

But the woman was merciless, hanging Su Ming in a tree and lashing him severely with her whip.

What followed was the scene that Lu Chuan had come upon.

After hearing the story, Lu Chuan frowned and looked toward the woman in the black leather clothes, saying, “Miss, first come, first served is a common rule; by doing this, aren’t you essentially using your strength to forcibly take what belongs to someone else?”

The woman humphed, “I discovered that medicinal herb a year ago, but worried that its medicinal effect was not enough, I built a wooden hut under the cliff and settled down, planning to wait for the herb to grow some more before harvesting it.

If you don’t believe me, you can come with me to see my hut.”

Lu Chuan nodded in realization, but still said, “If that’s the case, you could have explained it to him and asked for the herb back, why chase him down and attack him?”

The woman’s face suddenly filled with anger, “He started calling me ‘big sister’ as soon as he saw me, would you be happy if it were you?

Do I look that old?”

Lu Chuan was astonished, finding it hard to believe that this woman’s angry outburst was because she had been called ‘big sister’ by Su Ming.

Su Ming was equally stunned.

He had unwittingly suffered a whipping over this mode of address.

He looked at the woman, his tears streaming down, and said, “Big sister…”

The woman immediately picked up her whip again.

Su Ming hastily changed his words: “Beauty!

Gorgeous older sister!

I was wrong, if you had told me earlier that you didn’t like to be called that, we wouldn’t have had this big misunderstanding!”

The woman gave Su Ming a disdainful look, “For someone as clueless as you, my way has always been to teach a direct lesson with my hands.”

Lu Chuan couldn’t help but laugh and cry, realizing she considered him polite because he called her ‘miss’.

With the misunderstanding cleared up, Lu Chuan looked at Su Ming with a bit of sympathy, thinking to himself that Su Ming’s big mouth had gotten him into trouble.

If he had started off by calling her a beauty, wouldn’t everything have been fine?

He had no intention of helping Su Ming seek justice; after all, she was a Transcendent Realm skillful expert.

Even if he wanted to seek justice, he wouldn’t be able to win!

So he could only let Su Ming swallow this bitter pill silently.

After some thought, he looked at the woman and asked, “Miss, that hundred-year medicinal herb, are you planning to use it to enhance your strength?”

The woman shook her head, “No.”

Lu Chuan said, “Oh?

Then if I’m not mistaken, you want to use this herb for healing?

Is there a problem with your health?”

The woman was somewhat surprised; she hadn’t expected Lu Chuan to guess the purpose of her needing the hundred-year medicinal herb so quickly, “How did you figure it out?”

Lu Chuan smiled and said, “I am a doctor, and some issues are naturally easy for me to discern.”

When he caught the woman’s whip earlier, he had sensed that although her strength was formidable, her breathing seemed somewhat unsteady, and she was suppressing a certain condition in her body when using her strength, resulting in a significant decrease in the precision of her power.

Therefore, he concluded that there were some issues with the woman’s body.

Moreover, the woman was at a young age and had already reached the Transcendent Realm; her talent was naturally beyond question.

However, in the martial arts world, those with such talents must have special physiques, and these special traits often bring about some negative effects.

The woman said, “So what if you can see that, what are you trying to say?”

Lu Chuan continued with a smile, “I just wanted to remind you that the hundred-year medicinal herb would not only be of no benefit to your current condition, but on the contrary, once you consume this hundred-year medicinal herb, your condition will worsen.”

The woman frowned slightly, “What are you talking about?

What exactly is my condition?

You’re not trying to swindle this herb from me, are you?”

Lu Chuan said, “I am not talking nonsense.

Every full moon night, you suffer as if aflame with passion, with your desires wildly surging.

Am I right?”

The woman’s face went pale, and she blushed while looking at Lu Chuan in disbelief, “How…

how do you know?”

Lu Chuan said, “I can see what others can’t, so of course, I can also see your symptoms.

And I would guess that every full moon night, you immerse yourself in water with extremely low temperatures to quell those desires.”

“This causes the power within your body to be frequently disordered, and you must drink herbal medicine to adjust it.

But this method only treats the symptoms, not the root cause, which is why you wanted to find a hundred-year medicinal herb to completely cure your condition.”

“But I can assure you responsibly that the hundred-year medicinal herb will only intensify the desires in your heart.

When that time comes, it will not just be on the full moon nights that you burn with desire, but starting from the first to the fifteenth of every month, you will be unable to control yourself.”

The woman’s face immediately became grave, having never imagined that the hundred-year medicinal herb could have such a severe negative impact on her.

She didn’t doubt Lu Chuan’s words, for her unique physique was rare in the world, and many doctors were helpless before it.

Lu Chuan’s ability to see her condition at a glance meant he truly understood the knowledge in this area.

Meanwhile, Su Ming watched Lu Chuan with admiration and muttered to himself, “Big brother can even figure this out; he’s really amazing.

I just wonder if he has researched special physiques more or those women tormented by passionate fires.”

“Hmm…

possibly both, otherwise he wouldn’t have noticed so quickly.”

The woman stared at Lu Chuan, demanding, “Even if that’s the case, what’s your point?

What’s your motive in telling me all this?”

Lu Chuan didn’t hide his intentions and said, “I wish to make a trade with you.”

The woman asked, “What trade?”

Lu Chuan answered, “I can cure your condition, but in return, you have to give me that hundred-year medicinal herb.”

The woman thought it over and said, “How do I know you’re not lying to me?

What if you just want the herb I have and you made all this up to fool me?”

Lu Chuan pondered for a moment, then turned his head to look at Su Ming and proposed, “How about this?

I’ll put his life in your hands first.

If I don’t cure you, you can kill him.

How does that sound?”

Su Ming: “???”

The woman found the idea acceptable and nodded, “That could work.”

“I just happen to have a poison pill on hand.

Once ingested, he will have only three hours to live.

If he doesn’t take the antidote within three hours, he will bleed from all seven orifices and his body will rot and die.”

“Can you cure me within three hours?”

Lu Chuan nodded, “Yes.”

The woman immediately took out an elixir pill and approached Su Ming.

Su Ming looked utterly desperate and protested to Lu Chuan, “Big brother, this isn’t a joke, we can’t just gamble my life for a herb!”

Lu Chuan assured with a smile, “Don’t worry, once I cure her, she will give you the antidote.”

Su Ming asked, “What if you fail to cure her?”

Lu Chuan thought for a moment and replied, “Then it will all depend on the lady’s mood.”

Su Ming suddenly felt an urge to cry.

The woman didn’t want to waste time and directly pinched Su Ming’s mouth, stuffing the pill into it.

“All right, what method do you plan to use to cure my condition?

Don’t tell me your idea of a cure is to let me vent the desires in my heart.” The woman looked at Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan replied with a smile, “Don’t worry, I’m not that kind of depraved person.”

“By the way, I haven’t asked for the lady’s name.”

The woman indifferently said, “Shen Yourong.”

Upon hearing this name, both Lu Chuan and Su Ming involuntarily glanced at the woman’s chest.

The woman immediately became irritated and shouted, “What are you looking at!”

Lu Chuan coughed lightly and said, “Nothing…

it’s a really nice name.”

Su Ming mumbled softly, “Yourong’s abundance truly isn’t false.”

Shen Yourong huffed, “Hurry up and treat me; I don’t have much patience!”

Lu Chuan nodded, and he was about to say he would take Shen Yourong back to the clinic for treatment, when suddenly something flashed through his mind, his eyes widened in shock as he stared at Shen Yourong and exclaimed, “You are Shen Yourong?!!!!”
