Chinese animation: Starting with Bad Guys

Looking at the priceless spiritual herbs in his arms, clearly Ya Ya's most treasured possessions, a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

"Okay, thank you for your 'gift', Miss Ya Ya."

Qin Chuan readily accepted the offer without hesitation.

This decisive action surprised Ya Ya for a moment, then a secret joy welled up in her heart, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up. She quickly suppressed it and snorted seriously, "Good to know!"

She glanced furtively at Qin Chuan as he accepted the spirit herb, and the little fox's ears unconsciously twitched slightly on its head.

Tu Shan Rongrong took in all the subtle changes in her sister, Ya Ya's awkward concern, and Qin Chuan's gentle response.

She didn't say much, but a more determined light shone in her narrowed eyes.

She secretly resolved to find Tu Shan Honghong's best friend, Cui Yuling, as soon as possible and study medical skills properly.

With an important person by her side, Tushan also needs stronger protection, and medical skills are indispensable.

Honghong arranged for Qin Chuan to recuperate in the quietest and most comfortable room in her residence.

She had just taken over Tushan, and everything was in disarray, with a mountain of tasks pressing down on her. But she would always make time to come and check on Qin Chuan's condition and ask about his feelings every day, her concern for him undisguised.

She also specially invited her close friend, the King of Leeches and the patriarch of the Leech Spirit clan, Cui Yuling.

When this woman, dressed in magnificent palace attire, with a third vertical eye on her forehead and an air of elegance tinged with mystery and allure, stepped into the quiet room, a refreshing medicinal fragrance filled the air.

"Oh, so this is the talented guy who made our Honghong 'ask' me for the first time ever?"

Cui Yuling's voice had a unique rhythm, filled with laughter and intense curiosity. As she spoke, she unceremoniously sat down on the edge of the bed, her three eyes simultaneously scrutinizing Qin Chuan from head to toe, her gaze so sharp it seemed to see through everything.

"Tsk tsk, you're quite something to get Honghong to ask for help."

She extended her fair fingers and placed them on Qin Chuan's wrist, a gentle yet highly penetrating demonic power probing into his body.

While checking the injuries, her gossip-loving nature also ignited.

“Tell me,” Cui Yuling leaned closer, a mischievous smile on her face, “what exactly is your relationship with our Honghong? You can make iron trees bloom and icebergs melt. I’m really curious!”

Qin Chuan already knew about the "gossip" surrounding this leech demon king, smiled, and casually said:

“Honghong and I are comrades who fight side by side and friends who understand each other.”

Cui Yuling raised her eyebrows dramatically, her third eye flickering slightly, as if she had seen through his "lie":

"Sister, Honghong and I have known each other for centuries. She's known for never asking for favors! This is the first time she's ever 'asked' me for a favor because of you! Is it really just a simple 'friend' relationship? Your 'friendship' carries a lot of weight!"

Qin Chuan didn't want to dwell on the matter and was thinking of how to change the subject when a name suddenly flashed through his mind.

He asked, seemingly casually:

"I've heard that the leech clan is full of talented people. I wonder if there is a girl named 'Xiao Tan'?"

Cui Yuling's hand paused almost imperceptibly, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, which was quickly replaced by a deeper smile:

"Oh? You're asking about the girls in our clan? Xiao Tan is a new student that my sister and I have taken on. She's quite talented, has only recently taken human form, and is very innocent."

She winked mischievously. "What? You're eating Honghong in your bowl, but you're still eyeing Xiaotan in the pot? You've got quite an appetite!"

Qin Chuan ignored her teasing, but his heart skipped a beat.

The jade ephemera, its form was only recently created.

The timing is perfect!

In the original timeline, it was this innocent and kind-hearted little leech demon who was deceived by the sweet words of the treacherous Jin Renfeng, revealing the core secret of the leech demon clan's blood-changing technique. In the end, she was tragically killed, which indirectly led to the subsequent tragedy of the Dongfang sisters.

Judging from Cui Yuling's tone, this matter has obviously not yet occurred.

Qin Chuan's eyes darkened slightly as he began to quickly consider how to intervene in the matter.

Just then, the door to the quiet room was pushed open with a "bang," and a small figure carrying a tray walked in angrily. It was Tu Shan Ya Ya.

"Hey! Patient! Time to eat!"

Ya Ya placed the tray heavily on the table, and a bowl of fragrant medicinal porridge swayed slightly.

She still wouldn't look at Qin Chuan, her neck stiff as she said, "If Rongrong hadn't been helping my sister deal with those troublesome things, I wouldn't have come to bring you food! Humph!"

A glint of light flashed in Cui Yuling's eyes, and she immediately seized the opportunity to tease him:

"Oh dear, our Miss Ya Ya is really going through a lot. But if you're so unwilling, why didn't you just send a servant to deliver it? Why did you have to make the trip yourself?"

"I...I!" Caught off guard by the question, Ya Ya's face flushed instantly, and she stammered, "I'm going that way! Is that not allowed? I...I can't I supervise his meals?"

Her voice grew softer and softer as she spoke, her confidence clearly waning.

Seeing Ya Ya's embarrassed expression, Qin Chuan's smile deepened. He reached out his hand to Ya Ya and said, "My craving for wine is acting up. Can I borrow your Endless Wine Gourd for a sip to satisfy my craving?"

"Don't even think about it!" Ya Ya bristled like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, instinctively covering her endless wine gourd with both hands behind her back, glaring at Qin Chuan warily. "What are you doing drinking alcohol when you're a patient! Are you trying to kill yourself before your injuries have even healed? No way!"

She refused decisively.

But seeing Qin Chuan's still somewhat pale face, Ya Ya's heart suddenly softened a little.

She hesitated for a moment, then awkwardly added, "Once you've recovered and are back to your old self, perhaps I can take pity on you and give you just a tiny sip! Just a tiny sip! No more than that!"

Qin Chuan smiled and extended his hand again, this time bending his little finger: "It's a deal? Pinky promise?"

Ya Ya stared at the outstretched finger, her little face full of confusion.

Pinky promise? How childish! How could Lady Tu Shan Ya Ya do something so childish?

But looking into Qin Chuan's gentle, smiling eyes, and remembering that his earth-shattering attack was to protect his sister and Tu Shan, she realized that he had done it all.

She finally, reluctantly but very quickly, extended her little finger and swiftly hooked it with Qin Chuan's finger.

"Pinky promise, fine! But this is just to be considerate of the patient's feelings! It's definitely not because I want to pinky promise with you! It's definitely not because I'm childish!"

Ya Ya withdrew her hand, rubbed it on her clothes as if it had gotten dirty, and emphasized loudly, as if the louder she spoke, the more it proved her "maturity".

"Pfft-"

Cui Yuling couldn't help but laugh out loud at Ya Ya's arrogant and smug expression, which made the tassels on her palace dress sway.

Qin Chuan couldn't help but chuckle, his low laughter echoing in the quiet room.

Ya Ya was both embarrassed and annoyed by their laughter. Her face turned completely red, like a ripe apple, and even the tips of her ears turned crimson.

She stomped her foot angrily, glared at Qin Chuan and Cui Yuling with shame and indignation, and left with the words "You...you are so annoying!" before fleeing like a frightened little rabbit without looking back.

Only the even more joyful laughter remained in the quiet room.

Sunlight filtered through the bamboo leaves outside the window, casting dappled patterns of light that fell on Qin Chuan's smiling face and on the still steaming bowl of medicinal porridge.

The wind in Tushan seemed to have become exceptionally gentle.

Chapter 11 Temporary Departure from Tushan

Qin Chuan's recovery speed far exceeded expectations.

In just a few days, under the care of Cui Yuling's superb medical skills and the nourishment of Ya Ya's spiritual herbs containing abundant spiritual energy, the disordered energy in his body was completely calmed down, and his pale complexion regained its rosy hue.

This amazing recovery ability amazed Cui Yuling, who came to visit, who exclaimed that her physique was extraordinary.

As soon as he recovered, Qin Chuan immediately returned to the Tushan Library.

This time, Tu Shan Hong Hong personally ordered that all of Tu Shan's classic texts be made completely open to Qin Chuan, from basic breathing techniques to the lifelong insights of ancestors, all of which he could freely peruse.

Even the essence of Tu Shan Ya Ya's ice magic, the flight technique related to spatial movement, and the Dharma Body Heaven and Earth Secret Technique that can draw upon the power of heaven and earth, were presented to him without reservation.

What's even more touching is that Honghong even personally handed over to him the core methods of the Tushan clan—the methods for condensing, applying, and sublimating emotional power.

Emotional power is the foundation of the Tushan fox demons, their core source of strength; this trust weighs more than a thousand pounds.

Qin Chuan held the yellowed ancient books, his fingertips brushing over the delicate or vigorous characters, a warm feeling welling up in his heart.

He knew that behind this trust was Honghong's complete acceptance and entrustment.

Grateful for this, Qin Chuan devoted himself entirely to studying the classics.

He was already extremely perceptive, and at this moment he was absorbing knowledge like a sponge.

The seemingly obscure principles of sorcery gradually became clear in his eyes, and the commonalities and differences between different spells were also sorted out one by one.

What's even more remarkable is that he didn't simply copy them, but rather combined them with his own knowledge to make ingenious improvements to these sorcery techniques.

Some sorcery techniques are difficult to execute, so he simplified their trajectory; some sorcery techniques are powerful but consume a lot of energy, so he optimized their energy flow; even Ya Ya's domineering ice-type sorcery, he devised several more ingenious variations that can retain its fierceness while adding a touch of agility.

Before we knew it, half a year had quietly passed.

That afternoon, Qin Chuan pushed open the heavy wooden door of the library and slowly walked out.

His brows furrowed with a sense of clarity and satisfaction. Six months of dedicated study had not only given him a deeper understanding of the power system of this world, but had also greatly enhanced his own strength.

More importantly, his plans for many things became increasingly clear.

Almost at the same time he walked out of the library, a red figure appeared at the end of the corridor not far away; it was Tu Shan Hong Hong.

After half a year of growth, Honghong has completely shed her childishness, and her brows now exude a sense of composure and authority, displaying the demeanor of the Lord of Tushan in every gesture.

But when she saw Qin Chuan, the gentleness in her eyes did not diminish.

The two gazed at each other from afar, understanding each other's feelings without needing to say a word.

"Got to go?"

Honghong spoke first, her voice calm, yet barely concealing a hint of melancholy.

Qin Chuan nodded and said frankly, "Yes, there are still some things that need to be done."

Honghong didn't try to stop him. She knew that Qin Chuan had a broader vision in his heart, and that the future of the human and demon races was not limited to Tushan.

She simply stepped forward and said softly, "I'll see you off."

The two walked side by side on the mountain path leading to the border of Tushan. The petals of the bitter love flower still fluttered along the way, but it was more peaceful than it had been half a year ago.

Along the way, a thousand words were stuck in my throat, but in the end, they all turned into silence.

Some feelings need no words to be understood.

The two stopped when they reached the mountain pass at the border.

"Take care." Honghong looked at him, her eyes clear.

"Take care of yourself too." Qin Chuan looked back at her, his eyes full of solemnity.

Just then, hurried footsteps came from behind, and Tu Shan Ya Ya and Tu Shan Rong Rong caught up, panting.
