Chapter 124 Mind Reading, the Arrogant Woman

Mind reading?

Luo Qingfeng was shocked and stared at the woman in front of him in astonishment.

"You...you can read minds?"

Bai Ruofei did not answer, but said calmly, "I know all that you secretly said before that I have big breasts, that my hands are so white, the rest of my body must be even whiter, that I smell so good, the feet under my skirt must smell good too...

Luo Qingfeng: "..."

She paused, then continued, "You're still secretly calling me a liar. Last time I said you were pressing on my hair, you apologized verbally, but in your heart you were thinking, 'I didn't sleep with you. Wait until I do before you say that.' You also said, 'This woman always makes me kneel down, is she trying to make me lick her? This woman is always so close to me, is she trying to kneel down and lick me?'"

"Also, you respectfully call her 'Senior Bai,' but in your heart you're calling this big-breasted woman 'disdainfully.' You're writing, but secretly thinking, 'This stupid woman can't even grind ink properly, and she's so arrogant. I really want to give her a big cunt...' What does 'big cunt' mean?"

Luo Qingfeng was speechless, his mind reeling, and his head buzzing.

It's over, it's over...

The suddenness of his death left him feeling suffocated and dizzy!

This was even more humiliating and unacceptable to him than being stripped naked in the street.

No, that's not him...

Suddenly, he snapped out of his daze and hurriedly protested, "Senior Bai, that wasn't me, that was a demon! There might have been a demon living inside me! But thankfully, I've already gotten rid of it."

Bai Ruofei scoffed, "A lecher?"

Luo Qingfeng's cheeks flushed: "Maybe, probably, possibly... Anyway, I've gotten rid of it, and I'll never have those lewd and filthy thoughts again."

Bai Ruofei raised an eyebrow slightly: "Perhaps it wasn't completely removed? Shall I help you?"

Luo Qingfeng asked in surprise, "How can I help?"

Bai Ruofei said, "Castrate him. Only by eliminating the root of the problem can we prevent future troubles."

Luo Qingfeng: "..."

"Let's go."

Bai Ruofei didn't say anything more and went upstairs.

Luo Qingfeng turned around and went downstairs.

Bai Ruofei paused, turned to look at him, and asked, "What are you doing?"

Luo Qingfeng sighed and said, "Senior, I feel it's not appropriate for me to stay here anymore, much less to work for Senior Bai. Senior Bai mentioned before that he wanted to find a female disciple, and I also think a female disciple would be more suitable."

Bai Ruofei narrowed her eyes: "Are you scared?"

Luo Qingfeng lowered his head and said, "I'm scared, and I'm ashamed."

Bai Ruofei sneered, "Weren't you supposed to have a thick skin? How come it's gone?"

Luo Qingfeng sighed, "Even the thickest face has been completely lost today."

Bai Ruofei's lips twitched slightly, and she said calmly, "Don't worry, my [Mind Reading] can only be used twice a day, and each time it lasts for a very short time. Under normal circumstances, I won't use it."

Luo Qingfeng remained silent.

Bai Ruofei added, "I will never use this supernatural power on you again."

Luo Qingfeng raised his head and said, "I don't believe it."

Bai Ruofei raised two fingers and swore: "If I am lying, may I be burned alive."

Luo Qingfeng: "...Senior, your natal star isn't also a star burning with raging flames, is it?"

Bai Ruofei said, "No."

Luo Qingfeng said, "Then I guess it should be Mercury?"

Bai Ruofei was taken aback: "You...how did you know?"

Luo Qingfeng couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Bai Ruofei narrowed her eyes: "You rolled your eyes at me again?"

Luo Qingfeng cupped his hands in greeting and prepared to leave.

Bai Ruofei said, "Don't you want the method to awaken your supernatural powers anymore?"

Luo Qingfeng didn't say anything and walked downstairs.

Bai Ruofei suddenly asked, "If you leave, what will happen to the woman you like?"

Luo Qingfeng stopped and paused for a moment before saying, "I think I should protect her myself."

Bai Ruofei said, "Aren't you relying on yourself now? If you weren't relying on your abilities, do you think I would keep you just because of your handsome looks?"

Luo Qingfeng paused for a moment, then resolutely walked downstairs.

Grandma Ning suddenly appeared downstairs.

"Hey! Ha!"

She held an iron rod in her hand, twisted it with both hands, and the iron rod instantly turned into a twisted shape.

Then, she clapped her hands together, and the twisted iron rod instantly transformed into a round iron disc.

Grandma Ning kneaded the iron disc into a large ball, weighed it in her hand, and looked at him coldly. While looking at him, she rolled the iron ball in her hand into a thick strip, and then snapped it in half with a "snap".

Luo Qingfeng paused for a moment, then turned and went upstairs, asking, "Senior Bai, what medicine are we refining tonight?"

Bai Ruofei's eyebrows twitched slightly as she continued walking upstairs, saying, "Five Poisons Tendon-Dissolving Powder."

"Five Poisons Tendon-Dissolving Powder?"

Upon hearing this name, Luo Qingfeng was immediately overjoyed.

Just in time, he needed a medicine!

It is colorless and odorless, and exists as a faint, extremely fine powder, almost invisible to the naked eye. With just a sprinkle, it can silently enter the enemy's nose, mouth, and exposed pores all over their body.

It can quickly cause the enemy's star power to freeze, their whole body to go limp, and them to lose their fighting ability!

While he was copying this poison manual, he secretly thought about memorizing it so he could try refining it someday. However, he never had the tools, ingredients, or opportunity. He never expected that tonight...

Hmm? That's not right!

What a coincidence!

It just so happens that he needed it, so the other party prepared to refine it?

He looked up at the woman going upstairs and thought to himself: She overheard my inner thoughts and is helping me out of the blue?

But why?

Or perhaps she was originally going to learn how to make those poisons, and she just happened to have those medicinal herbs, and she just happened to be able to do him a favor.

He wanted to ask, but then realized the other party would definitely not tell him, so he gave up.

We arrived at the seventh floor.

The two entered the medicine-making room one after the other.

The stove was already lit, and the medicine cauldron on top, filled with water, was emitting wisps of white steam.

The medicinal herbs were already prepared in the basket next to it.

Luo Qingfeng walked over and carefully examined the medicinal herbs in the basket. Judging from their appearance, they were indeed not much different from those described in the book.

"These medicinal herbs are much younger, so their effects certainly won't be as good as described in the book, but they should still be usable."

After Bai Ruofei finished speaking, she picked up two medicinal herbs and threw them into the medicine cauldron.

Soon, a fragrance wafted out along with the water vapor.

"Remember the time. Now, it's your turn to administer the medicine according to the time and order specified in the book."

Bai Ruofei glanced at him and gave the order.

Upon hearing this, Luo Qingfeng thought to himself: Is she teaching me how to make medicine?

Hearing the boiling water in the medicine cauldron, he didn't dare to think any further and immediately looked at the water clock and sandalwood incense on the table.

"Next, we should put in the green vine butterfly and the black spider flower... After that, we need to cover the pot and let all the herbs in the cauldron cook until they are completely dissolved and blended together..."

Luo Qingfeng recalled the words in the book and secretly calculated in his mind.

A few more moments passed.

He immediately found the two medicinal herbs in the basket and quickly put them into the medicine cauldron.

Then, he covered the cauldron with the lid and looked at the water clock on the table and the extremely thick sandalwood stick.

"Is the timing and order correct?"

He turned his head and looked at the woman standing by the window, asking her a question.

Bai Ruofei didn't answer, her gaze quietly fixed on the night outside the window. After a while, she finally spoke, "Were you really leaving just now?"

Luo Qingfeng said, "It's fake."

Bai Ruofei turned her head to look at him.

Luo Qingfeng said sincerely, "Aside from the matter of Nightingale, I feel that Senior Bai has actually been very good to me, so I definitely can't bear to leave."

Bai Ruofei said calmly, "How have I been good to you?"

Luo Qingfeng met her gaze and said, "I helped you translate the cultivation techniques, and you didn't forbid me from practicing them. You even gave me the medicines you refined, took me to the cultivator market, and gave me such valuable Xuan Gold. And..."

He glanced at the medicine cauldron and didn't continue speaking.

"What else?"

Bai Ruofei asked.

Luo Qingfeng shook his head: "That's all."

Bai Ruofei said, "That's not enough, praise me a few more times."

Luo Qingfeng: "..."

He thought for a moment, then said, "Senior is magnanimous and did not hold my unintentional offense against you..."

Does it mean having big breasts?

Bai Ruofei said calmly.

Luo Qingfeng's lips twitched; he didn't know how to answer.

If you answer no, the other person will say, "Hmph, you mean I don't have big breasts?"

If you answer yes, the other person will say: "Disgusting! Shameless!"

At that moment, he glanced at the water clock and thankfully, the time was up!

"This junior is going to put out the medicine!"

After saying that, he immediately left to select medicinal herbs from the basket, secretly thinking to himself: This woman is indeed so arrogant.

Hmm? I shouldn't speak ill of her in my mind!

Who knows if she really can only use her mind-reading ability twice a day?

He turned his head and saw that she was looking at him. He quickly thought to himself, "Senior Bai is so kind. She actually taught me how to make medicine. I will repay her even if I have to work like a cow or a horse for her."

After completing his disguise, he immediately went to the medicine cauldron and put the medicine in.

This time, he put in all the remaining medicinal herbs.

Then the lid was put on.

"The book says that the size of the fire also needs to be controlled..."

He walked to the stove, looked at the flames inside, and then continued to add firewood.

Bai Ruofei stood by the window, saying nothing more.

The only sounds in the room were the burning firewood and the refining of medicine in the cauldron.

Luo Qingfeng added firewood for a while, then stopped.

Then he approached the medicine cauldron and listened carefully to the sounds inside. After about half an hour, he went to a corner, picked up a large strip of wet cloth, and wrapped it around all the gaps around the lid of the medicine cauldron.

The medicinal broth inside has almost completely evaporated; it mustn't be allowed to dissipate any further. Otherwise, the most precious ingredients will be released, significantly reducing the effectiveness of the final product.

At this point, all the medicinal vapors should be allowed to float up after steaming and boiling before being reintroduced into the medicine.

After doing all that, he went to the stove and began to reduce the fire inside.

After a while.

Standing by the window, Bai Ruofei suddenly spoke up: "One increase, one decrease, have you forgotten?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Qingfeng immediately recalled the contents of the book.

In the final moments, the fire should be reduced, but not continuously. It should be increased and decreased intermittently to allow the temperature to fluctuate and achieve the best effect for the medicine inside.

He quickly started adding more firewood.

After the fire grew fierce, he quickly took out the burning firewood.

He repeated this process many times until the sandalwood incense on the table burned to a spot he had noted down, at which point he immediately stopped.

Then he walked to the medicine cauldron and listened carefully to the sounds inside.

After a while, he began to remove the damp cloth from the gap in the lid of the cauldron. The cloth had a faint medicinal fragrance, but it was much weaker than the smell of the boiled herbs.

It was Luo Qingfeng's first time refining medicine, so he was inevitably a little nervous.

After waiting for a long time.

He looked towards the window and humbly asked, "Senior, may I lift the lid now?"

Bai Ruofei ignored him.

Luo Qingfeng had no choice but to wait patiently. After a while, he asked again, "Senior, is it alright now?"

Bai Ruofei turned around and looked out the window.

Luo Qingfeng glanced at the water clock and sandalwood incense again, and without further hesitation, he immediately gripped the lid of the cauldron and slowly untied it.

A plume of green smoke suddenly emerged from the cauldron.

Luo Qingfeng sniffed it and said in surprise, "It smells so good. Isn't it a colorless and odorless poison? How come..."

It's over, it must have been ruined.

He quickly waved away the smoke and looked down.

In the middle of the medicine cauldron, a clump of green dregs appeared in the dish. It looked like some kind of animal excrement. Not only was it not formed, but its color was also different from what was described in the book.

Luo Qingfeng's heart sank, realizing something was wrong.

The medicine was not successfully refined, and it seems that all the medicinal materials were destroyed.

He looked at it a few more times with heartache, then gazed out the window, saying with some guilt, "Senior, this medicine..."

Ok?

His legs suddenly went weak, and he almost lost his balance.

He quickly steadied the medicine cauldron, but hissed from the heat. He staggered back to a corner, leaning against the wall, his body limp. "Senior, I...I think I've been poisoned..."

So it seems the medicine is effective!

However, doesn't the book say that it will only be effective if it is successfully refined into a colorless and odorless powder?

He finally lost his balance and, leaning against the wall, slowly slid down.

This medicine is really powerful!

Instead of being alarmed, he was delighted, thinking to himself: If he had such a poison, he could strike first in any future battle!

There is no antidote for this medicine, nor will it kill you. It will only make you feel weak all over and unable to mobilize your internal energy. This will last for at least an hour and at most a day and a night.

However, the book says that if you are poisoned by this, you can drink a lot of water to urinate out the poison.

He hurriedly tried to take the water bottle out of the storage bag, trembling, but suddenly realized that he could no longer take anything out of the storage bag.

"Senior, I've been poisoned..."

Making poison and ending up poisoning yourself, that's just unbelievable.

Although it's a bit embarrassing, it's understandable since it's the first time making it.

Bai Ruofei calmly watched him from the window for a while, then said indifferently, "So what if you're poisoned? Why are you telling me?"

Luo Qingfeng said weakly, "Water... give this junior some water..."

Bai Ruofei ignored him. After a while, once all the smoke in the medicine cauldron had dissipated, she went over, took out a gas mask and put it on her face, then put on bamboo gloves. She then took out the clump of green dregs from the cauldron and put it into another plate.

Luo Qingfeng immediately began to read it carefully.

Bai Ruofei let the dregs in the plate cool down for a while, then took out a bottle of medicinal powder, uncorked it, sprinkled some white powder on the dregs, and then pressed and rubbed it with her hands.

After all the white powder had dissolved into the dregs, she placed the dregs in an iron bowl, then returned the bowl to the still-warm medicine cauldron and covered it with the lid.

She did not add any more firewood.

Just a moment later, she lifted the lid of the cauldron and took out the iron bowl inside.

Luo Qingfeng took a closer look and was immediately filled with surprise.

The dregs that were green just a moment ago have suddenly turned white!

Bai Ruofei picked up the clump of white medicinal residue, placed it on the table, took out a piece of gauze, wrapped it tightly, and then walked to the window and placed it on the windowsill.

After doing all that, she looked at him and said, "Once it's dried in the sun, grind it into powder, and it'll be done."

Luo Qingfeng exclaimed with delight, "I didn't fail?"

Bai Ruofei said calmly, "If you're poisoned by the medicine you concocted, isn't that a failure?"

Luo Qingfeng said, "As long as the senior's medicinal materials are not wasted, and as long as the medicine is successful, it is not considered a failure."

Bai Ruofei glanced at him again before going to tidy up the medicine cauldron.

Luo Qingfeng sat in the corner, leaning weakly against the wall behind him, quietly watching her do her work.

After she had finished packing her things, he spoke again, pleading, "Senior, could you please get me some water?"

He was not only weak all over, but also extremely thirsty, and his throat felt like it was on fire.

Bai Ruofei ignored him and left the room, closing the door behind her.

At this moment, the night outside the window had begun to gradually fade away.

The lights in the room were also turned off.

Luo Qingfeng sat in the darkness for a while, then Bai Ruofei's voice came from outside: "Do you want to go upstairs?"

Luo Qingfeng quickly replied, "This junior will not go; this junior only wants to drink water."

Bai Ruofei said, "There's no water here, only upstairs."

Luo Qingfeng struggled to stand up, but he couldn't muster any strength at all. He thought to himself: It doesn't matter if I go upstairs. My whole body is weak right now, and everything about me is soft. Even if I go upstairs, even if the other party uses some kind of seductive technique, it won't work on him.

Besides, there's no way the other party could do anything to him.

Thinking of this, he could only say, "Senior, this junior...this junior is willing to go upstairs."

Bai Ruofei said from outside the door, "This isn't a question of whether you want to or not. You have to beg me before I'll take you up."

Luo Qingfeng muttered a few complaints under his breath, then said, "Senior Bai, please take me upstairs for a drink of water."

Bai Ruofei replied, "The upstairs is where I rest; it's a woman's boudoir. Men and women shouldn't touch each other. Are you sure you want to go up?"

Luo Qingfeng said, "Can I not go up?"

Bai Ruofei said, "Sure, no one's forcing you. I'm going to sleep now. Your poison should clear up on its own tomorrow."

Luo Qingfeng: "..."

Is he going to sit here for a whole day and night?

The key thing is, he's currently extremely thirsty and his throat is parched.

Hearing footsteps preparing to leave, he quickly said, "Senior, please take me up with you. I'm sure I want to go up."

The footsteps stopped.

Bai Ruofei said, "But that's my boudoir. Didn't you say that men and women shouldn't touch each other?"

Luo Qingfeng thought to himself: At this moment, I must not argue. In front of any proud woman, any argument is very dangerous. There is only one way to deal with them: admit my mistake!

"Senior, I was wrong. I will never say those words again."

Luo Qingfeng readily admitted his mistake.

Bai Ruofei said, "Please me one more time, say a few nice things."

Luo Qingfeng's lips twitched, and he had no choice but to shamelessly say, "Senior, please, you're so beautiful and kind, you wouldn't just leave me to die, would you?"

Bai Ruofei said, "That's not enough. Be more specific. What makes me beautiful?"

Luo Qingfeng could only say, "Senior is beautiful in every way. Your hair is long, black, soft, and fragrant. Your clothes are also beautiful. Your appearance is the best in the world. Your hands are also very beautiful, with delicate and fair skin. Your figure is also great."

Bai Ruofei said, "Tell me your favorite place to peek."

Luo Qingfeng found it difficult to speak, but his throat was truly burning, so he had no choice but to blurt out, "Senior's feet are so beautiful, your waist is so slender, and that... it's so big."

"Which one is that?"

"chest……"

"You were peeking at me from behind."

"Your...that...is also so beautiful."

"Which one?"

"Beautiful buttocks..."

"Dirty!"

"..."

Suddenly, there was no sound outside.

Just as Luo Qingfeng was about to collapse from thirst, the door suddenly opened.

Bai Ruofei walked in, placed a glass of water to his lips, and said, "Shameless."

Before Luo Qingfeng could speak, he gulped down the water, finishing the entire glass in one go. Still feeling thirsty, he quickly said, "Senior, another cup! No, ten more cups!"

Bai Ruofei ignored him, turned around, left the room, and closed the door.

The room fell into darkness and silence once again.

After a while.

Her voice suddenly rang out from outside again: "Oh right, what did you just say to me? I've forgotten."
