Instead of Checking In Regularly: I Hide And Cultivate In The Monster-quelling Tower And Become Invi

Chapter 14: Habit

“I don’t think that’s a good idea.” Song Fan hesitated.

“Tsk, it’s not like I haven’t seen it before.” Chen Yueru’s expression was calm. “Quickly take it off and let me take a look at your wound so that I can help you treat it.”

When Song Fan heard this, he did not hesitate anymore. He took off his bloody clothes, revealing a few wounds.

Chen Yueru examined it carefully and said, “There are a few sword wounds. They didn’t injure any vital points, and your life isn’t in danger.”

In the next moment, Song Fan covered his chest with his hand and said, “Yueru, actually, I also suffered internal injuries.”

When Chen Yueru heard this, she took a deep look and said, “Since you only came now, it means that your internal injuries are not serious.”

Song Fan was indeed fine.

Previously, Zhou Xuan had suggested accompanying him outside to treat his wounds.

However, he said that there was no need. Even if it hurt, he would endure it.

In his words, he wanted Chen Yueru to treat the wounds on his body.

As for his motive, it was obvious. He wanted to interact more with Chen Yueru.

Next, Chen Yueru began to treat Song Fan.

This was the third time Zhou Xuan had met Chen Yueru.

The first time was when they passed by the academy at noon the day before yesterday. The second time was at the door of Song Fan’s room in Biji District the night before yesterday.

This time, it was in the infirmary where he saw Chen Yueru’s Astral Soul.

When Chen Yueru formed a seal with her hands, a jade-green willow tree appeared in front of her chest.

The willow tree was not tall, only two feet tall, and it emitted a green light.

It was a special power that had the ability to heal injuries.

The green light shone on Song Fan, making him turn green in an instant.

Zhou Xuan could clearly see that under the healing of the Guanyin Willow, Song Fan’s injuries were rapidly improving.

This was especially the case for the superficial wounds, which were healing at a visible speed.

The power of the Guanyin Willow was so mysterious.

It wasn’t that Zhou Xuan hadn’t seen the world, so he could naturally watch everything calmly.

Such mysterious medical skills were unimaginable in his previous life.

But in this era, there were better medical skills than that.

In other words, as the Guanyin Willow continued to evolve, its healing ability would become better, and Chen Yueru’s medical skills would continue to improve.

If she was lucky, she might be able to evolve the Guanyin Willow into the Sky-Reaching Divine Willow. At that time, her medical skills would really reach the highest realm of reviving the dead and making bones grow flesh.

Different Astral Souls represented different abilities.

Cultivators now obtained strength from the evolution of their Astral Souls to strengthen themselves.

It was just like how Zhou Xuan’s Astral Soul was originally a weed. The moment it evolved into the Nine Leaf Sword Grass, he obtained powerful strength and directly advanced from Silver Three-Star to Silver Nine-Star realm.

Astral Souls were crucial to a person’s growth.

You could come from a humble background, but you had to have a good Astral Soul. That would give you a chance to change your fate.

After Chen Yueru finished treating Song Fan, she looked at Zhou Xuan and asked, “What about you? Are you injured?”

If Zhou Xuan was injured, she would also help treat him.

When Zhou Xuan heard this, he shook his head. “I’m not injured.”

“Little Xuan, let’s go eat breakfast together.” Song Fan planned to treat Zhou Xuan to breakfast. Of course, there was also Chen Yueru.

“Forget it. I don’t want to be a third wheel.” Zhou Xuan naturally refused.

He did not stay any longer and turned to leave the infirmary.

However, he did not go to the Demon Subduing Tower. Instead, he went to the snack street outside the Demon Subduing Academy to eat breakfast.

Once a habit was developed, it would become addictive.

Just like how he was used to eating breakfast at Ruyi’s breakfast stall.

Just like how he only ate vegetarian food every morning and ate the same thing.

It was still early, and there were not many people on the food street.

However, Ruyi’s breakfast shop was already open.

When the Lady Boss, Liu Ruyi, saw Zhou Xuan, she was as enthusiastic as ever.

“Little Zhou, you’re earlier than before. You’re the first customer.”

As the lady boss, she naturally welcomed regulars like Zhou Xuan.

Zhou Xuan nodded and said, “Yes, I am indeed earlier than usual.”

In fact, he hadn’t slept since he woke up. However, he was in good spirits.

For a gold realm cultivator like him, his body was already quite good. It was not a problem for him to exercise ten times a night.

“Is it still the same?” Liu Ruyi asked.

“Still the same,” Zhou Xuan said as he found a seat and sat down.

A cup of soybean milk, freshly grounded. A fried dough stick, fried until golden brown. A bowl of tender tofu pudding, and two fragrant white steamed buns.

Zhou Xuan had a good appetite and ate with relish.

After he finished eating, the snack street gradually became lively.

Most of the people who came here to eat breakfast were students of the Demon Subduing Academy.

However, not only were there people here to buy breakfast, but there were also demon beasts.

Some students did not go out. Demonic beasts came to buy for them.

The purpose of the Demon Subduing Academy was to suppress demon beasts. Its original purpose was to kill all the demons in the world.

However, after hundreds of years of development, many things had changed.

Currently, the Demon Subduing Academy advocates diversity and development. It encouraged students to make reasonable use of resources like demon beasts and advocated treating demon beasts as pets and battle beasts.

Zhou Xuan finished his breakfast and went straight to the Demon Subduing Pagoda.

As it was a new day, he could sign in three more times.

Life was like that. There had to be something to look forward to every day.

He walked into the Demon Subduing Pagoda and casually glanced around. He saw the big-headed tiger demon cultivating with a chuckle.

As it cultivated, it muttered, “The one surnamed Wu, I’ll take revenge one day. I’ll beat you up so badly that your mother won’t even recognize you.”

Ever since this guy was captured by Wu Ju, he was filled with hatred.

However, he did not dare to hold a grudge against Zhou Xuan, this “father” of his. Otherwise, he would starve.

If one were to gauge the most diligent demonic beasts inside the pagoda, the big-headed tiger demon would definitely be one of them.

Compared to the big-headed tiger demon, that Iron-eating Beast was a lazy thing. Other than eating and sleeping, it didn’t think about anything else.

The key was that it was talented and could break through even when it was sleeping.

Zhou Xuan came to room 10 and saw the tree monkey again.

It was not sleeping. It was squatting in the corner, using its claws as a comb and combing its fur.

It had taken care of its green fur until it was smooth and shiny. It was abnormally eye-catching.

It had a strong belief that its head could fall off, its blood could flow, but its hair could not be messed up.

Even though it was in a cage, it had to comb its fur every day to maintain a perfect image.

Yesterday, Song Fan came to look for it to practice. But unexpectedly, it was completely fine and in excellent condition.

When Zhou Xuan saw this, he pondered for a moment and seemed to understand something.

He knew this tree monkey well and knew that it was one of the most intelligent demonic beasts. It was quite smart.

“Did you lose on purpose yesterday?”

That was indeed the case. Yesterday, in order not to be pestered by Song Fan, it deliberately showed weakness.

It lost very cleverly and naturally. Even Song Fan could not tell.

At that time, when it saw Song Fan leave in high spirits, it even secretly mocked Song Fan behind his back for being a fool.

Now that Zhou Xuan had seen through its trick, it instantly lost its calm.

It hated creatures that were smarter than it.

It bared its teeth and roared, “Get lost.”

Zhou Xuan sized it up with interest. “You’re a macaque. Is this how you treat the one who feeds you? Don’t you want to eat your favorite pumpkin? Come here and let me stroke you.”

“Damn it.” The tree monkey felt aggrieved.

It was really like a monkey in a cage who had no choice but to lower its head.

It was smart and sensible. It suppressed the dissatisfaction in its heart and jumped over obediently.

Zhou Xuan ruthlessly rubbed it from head to toe. “Don’t scratch your ears and cheeks with me and grimace. Can you believe that my technique can make you orgasm?”
