Chapter 18 I'll Pay You Back Double
Liu Ruxuan searched half of the Liu residence but couldn't find Xiyue. 'Could she have gone out to buy something?' Liu Ruxuan thought to herself, but then she faintly heard sounds of whipping and cursing: "You wretched girl, you can't even keep an eye on a useless person, what use are you!"
The sound came from the front yard. Liu Ruxuan's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Xiyue had been beaten? So Liu Ruxuan hurriedly ran to the front yard. As soon as she entered, she saw this scene: Liu Yiting was sitting in a chair, and Xiyue was kneeling facing her not far away. Her two maids were whipping Xiyue, who was already covered in whip marks and bloodstains, her face was frighteningly pale, but her back was straight.
Liu Ruxuan felt a sudden pang of pain in her heart, like being stabbed by needles. She rushed forward like the wind, shoved Yiqing and Yiqin aside, and yelled, "Get out of here!" Xiyue smiled with relief when she saw Liu Ruxuan return safely: "Miss...you're back...that's good." As soon as she finished speaking, she collapsed to the ground and fainted.
"Xi Yue! Xi Yue!" Liu Ruxuan hugged Xi Yue and called out Xi Yue's name loudly, but Xi Yue did not respond. Liu Ruxuan was both heartbroken and angry.
"Oh, so you finally know how to come back? What were you out fooling around with, some wild man?" Liu Yiting couldn't help but spit out venomous words when she saw Liu Ruxuan arrive. Liu Ruxuan glared at Liu Yiting, a murderous glint in her eyes.
It was this kind of look that made Liu Yiting feel extremely irritated.
"What are you looking at! If it weren't for you, she wouldn't have ended up like this!"
Liu Ruxuan had already reached the Foundation Establishment stage, and her stamina had increased significantly. She picked up Xiyue and said coldly, "Liu Yiting, remember this: I will repay you for everything, bit by bit, strand by strand." After saying that, she slowly faded out of Liu Yiting's sight with Xiyue in her arms.
Liu Ruxuan gently wiped Xiyue's body, afraid of hurting her. Xiyue was almost completely injured, which broke Liu Ruxuan's heart. This was the second time Xiyue had been injured like this since she transmigrated. Liu Ruxuan then asked a second-grade alchemist to treat Xiyue. Only after everything was taken care of did Liu Ruxuan leave.

Liu Ruxuan sat in her room, admiring the jade pendant given to her by Dugu Juechen at her dressing table. Bathed in candlelight, the pendant was translucent and exquisitely crafted, making it irresistible. Liu Ruxuan released her spiritual energy to test the pendant, and what she found was astonishing! After withdrawing her energy and remaining silent for a moment, she couldn't help but inwardly exclaim with delight:
What did I discover?!
There were tens of thousands of cultivation manuals inside!
A quick scan with my divine sense revealed many rare and valuable editions!
I never would have guessed that Gong Yunxuan possessed these things.
Great.
Liu Ruxuan took a few books from her jade pendant, lay down on the bed, assumed a peaceful sleeping position, and went to her private space to study. Unbeknownst to her, a pair of gentle eyes were watching her from outside her room, and that person, seeing Liu Ruxuan's expression, actually smiled slightly. If Liu Ruxuan had seen this, she would probably have been captivated again.
After half a year of hard work, Liu Ruxuan's strength has improved by leaps and bounds, from a complete waste to a mid-level third-tier mage. She hasn't fallen behind in alchemy either, having reached the level of a second-grade alchemist. To advance further, she would need a better alchemy furnace; ordinary ones are no longer sufficient. Only she and Dugu Juechen know all this. In the entire Qian Yuan Continent, there is probably no one else who has progressed as quickly as Liu Ruxuan.
