Chapter 264 Social Death
The stone house door opened from the inside, and the Dragon Clan Demon Lord walked out, casually closing the door behind him. He then stood on the steps stroking his beard.
Tu Xiaoxiao stepped over Feng Yu, who was blocking her way, and asked before she could even greet him, "Grandpa Long, how is she?"
"Good temperament, good temperament." The Dragon Clan Demon Lord replied irrelevantly, and flew away before Tu Xiaoxiao could even get close.
Tu Xiaoxiao stood there awkwardly. Grandpa Long San was supposed to be a demon lord, so how could he still be so unreliable!
He stood at the bottom of the steps, frowning, unsure if he could get in now.
Feng Yu stepped forward and grabbed the eight-tailed fox's arm: "How badly is she injured?"
Tu Xiaoxiao mimicked his previous cold tone: "Yanzhou is still young, it won't die easily."
One sentence provoked the immortal lord so much that he immediately rushed into the stone house.
"I advise you not to go in." Tu Xiaoxiao quickly grabbed him: "She definitely doesn't want to see you right now."
Feng Yu ignored everything and insisted on rushing inside.
Tu Xiaoxiao had no choice but to use all her strength to pull him back and whisper, "Let's talk when we're further away."
The immortal lord had no choice but to suppress his anxiety and follow the mysterious eight-tailed fox into the grove outside the pharmacy.
Once they reached the middle of the grove, Feng Yu stopped walking: "Speak quickly."
Tu Xiaoxiao turned around, still a little worried, and reached out to grab his arm: "I told you, don't be impulsive."
Feng Yu: "Go ahead."
Tu Xiaoxiao's words immediately blew the Immortal Lord's ears: "She lost her right foot."
Feng Yu's mind seemed to freeze for a moment as she asked, stunned, "What did you say?"
Since the explosion was already complete, Tu Xiaoxiao didn't hesitate much and fired a second shot: "Hmm... the entire right leg is now just bone."
The shape of a leg bone appeared in Feng Yu's mind. She forced herself to wake up from her dazed state and turned to run outside.
Tu Xiaoxiao held onto his arm tightly, then released her fox tail to wrap around him again: "I knew you'd act impulsively. Think about it, does she want to see you right now?"
Feng Yu stopped struggling.
The eight-tailed fox continued to persuade her: "She likes you so much, do you think she would want you to see her before her legs have fully healed?"
Of course he didn't want to, just like after he was burned, he didn't want her to see the scars.
Feng Yu felt as if her heart was being torn apart. That was her entire right leg, now just bone. How much pain must she be in!
No wonder his seal was pricking him so much.
Seeing that her advice was effective, Tu Xiaoxiao tried to loosen the fox tail: "You absolutely must not rush in to see, otherwise she probably will never want to see you again."
The stone room in the pharmacy was Long Ergu's medicine room. On the stone bed, Shen Yao's right leg injury had been treated. Long Ergu was using a divine healing technique to help her regenerate.
Shen Yao had taken the medicine given to her by Aunt Long and had fallen into a deep sleep.
Before taking the medicine, she took out Cheng Zhi's communication token and checked the messages.
Shi Bao indeed sent many messages, mostly asking, "What is Mother doing?", "Why isn't Mother replying to me?", and several of them asking, "Does Mother not want me anymore?"
Shen Yao felt incredibly guilty after reading this, so she quickly wrote a short essay and sent it back, apologizing, explaining, and promising in one go. At the end, she emphasized to Shi Bao: "Mother loves you, will never abandon you, and will definitely come back for you."
As for the message that was obviously sent by Jiang Ming, she ignored it. However, she still told Jiang Ming that she might not be able to reply to Shi Bao in time recently, and asked him to take good care of the child and not let the child think too much.
She used the divine healing spell several times, but there was still no movement at the base of her right leg.
Aunt Long couldn't help but ask Huo Die again, "Are you sure you used skin-regenerating powder on her when I came?"
Huo Die handed over a porcelain bottle: "Take a look for yourself."
Aunt Long Er lifted the bottle cap, smelled it, and poured it into her palm: "It is indeed muscle-regenerating powder. Strange, how come she hasn't grown any flesh even though she used both muscle-regenerating powder and divine healing magic?"
After thinking for a moment, Huo Die suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "I've got it! We have to put her in the soil and bury her."
What kind of treatment is this? Long Ergu was utterly astonished. Could this Immortal Emperor be joking?
"Immortal Emperor Huo, your daughter is a fairy, not a demon cultivator of the spiritual plant type. Without legs and feet, how can she grow up by being buried?"
Shen Yao's body is made of clay, so healing techniques are certainly useful for treating superficial wounds or internal bleeding.
But now only bone remains of her leg, the damage is too great. Unless Zhao Zhen is reborn and uses his secret technique to reshape it, she can only be buried in the soil to grow.
Long Ergu was unaware of the situation, but Huo Die knew very well: "It must be buried in the soil. Believe me, nothing else will work."
As he spoke, he left the stone house, intending to find a place to dig a mud pit.
Huo Die went outside and looked around. After calculating with his fingers, he realized that the Long family castle was rich in spiritual energy, so he could bury the body anywhere. He then picked a nearby spot that looked good and started digging a hole.
The golden shovel, imbued with divine power, was exceptionally useful for digging holes. He simply stomped his foot, and the shovel would automatically begin digging at lightning speed, creating a large pit in an instant.
After digging the mud pit, Huo Die burned a talisman at the bottom of the pit to keep snakes, insects, and rodents away, and then went to the stone house to pick up his daughter.
Huo Die went back into the house to carry his daughter to bury her in the mud pit. Long Ergu tried her best to dissuade him, but in the end she couldn't beat Huo Die. Seeing him carrying the injured person out, she chased after him to stop him.
Huo Die insisted on putting his daughter into the pit, but Long Ergu thought that Huo Xiandi probably had a brain disease and that it was simply ridiculous!
Unable to stop him, and with no other option, Long Ergu jumped into the pit herself to reserve the spot and prevent Huo Die from putting the wounded in.
Just as they were at an impasse, Tu Xiaoxiao and Feng Yu emerged from the grove and, seeing the scene, rushed over.
Long Ergu immediately complained, asking them to stop Huo Die's nonsense. However, after hearing the reason, they both advised her to come out and bury Shen Yao inside.
Long Ergu was speechless. It was one thing for this immortal lord who was with Huo Xiandi, but why did Tu Xiaoxiao also advise her to bury him?
Huo Die and Feng Yu looked at Tu Xiaoxiao with a strange expression. Just how much of Shen Yao's secrets had she revealed to the Eight-Tailed Fox? How did he even know about this?
In the end, Long Ergu was pulled out by Tu Xiaoxiao's fox tail, and Huo Die buried Shen Yao in the ground.
When they were burying her, Feng Yu wanted to check on Shen Yao's injuries, but Huo Die dodged him and put his daughter into the pit.
The shovel filled the hole in a few breaths, and Shen Yao was buried in the soil from the waist down. Feng Yu, as expected of a considerate husband, immediately took out a soft stool, put a soft cushion on it, placed it in front of Shen Yao, and helped her lie down on the soft stool to sleep.
Poor Shen Yao was fast asleep and had no idea how miserable she was.
Watching helplessly as the wounded were buried, Aunt Long's temples throbbed with anger. This was the biggest medical dispute she had ever encountered in her thousands of years of practicing medicine!
Three male cultivators surrounded the pit, preventing her from rescuing the injured. Aunt Long Er flew into a rage and sent a message to the Dragon Clan Demon Lord and the other pharmacists of the Dragon Clan to come and take charge of the injured.
Long Ergu's call was met with overwhelming support. A large contingent of Long family pharmacists surrounded them in several layers and, led by Long Ergu, launched a protest against them.
Finally, the Demon Lord and Patriarch of the Long family arrived. After speaking with Huo Die alone, the Demon Lord dismissed them, and the pharmacists left.
Only then did Aunt Long accept it. There were indeed hidden reasons that she did not know or could not know, so she could only retreat to the rear and silently observe the condition of the wounded.
Shen Yao was buried in the soil, and it was unknown how many days it would take for her to recover. Feng Yu wanted to use wood spirit power to make a vine pavilion to protect her from wind and rain, but Huo Die stopped her, saying that she was now like a spirit plant, and would only grow faster if she was exposed to the sun and nourished by rain.
Feng Yu believed that one should not be exposed to direct sunlight, so she created a spiritual net of intertwined vines, which hung in the air. Sunlight streamed in through the gaps, and the fairy, fast asleep on the soft stool, was completely unaware of everything around her.
When she woke up after the medication wore off, she realized just how dire her situation was...
