The Legend of the Medical Concubine

Chapter 399: First Visit to Huayue Valley

Lin Ruoxue knew that if she wanted to win the duel with Mo Kun, she had to improve her strength as soon as possible. At this time, Mo Yulin told Lin Ruoxue a piece of news. It was said that there was an energy crystal ball in Huayue Valley. As long as you absorb the energy inside, you can become a top master in the martial arts world within a few days. This news was like a ray of light in the darkness, giving Lin Ruoxue hope.

Lin Ruoxue hurriedly found Bai Zixuan, Qin Mufeng and Qingyue and told them about this. After hearing this, Bai Zixuan's eyes flashed with thought. He knew that this might be an opportunity, but he also understood that there might be many unknown risks hidden in it. Qin Mufeng patted his chest and said, "Sister Ruoxue, since there is such a good thing, what are we waiting for? Let's go to Huayue Valley and take a look!" Although Qingyue did not speak, he nodded slightly and agreed to go together.

So, the group set out on the journey to Huayue Valley. Along the way, everyone had their own thoughts. Lin Ruoxue was looking forward to defeating Mo Kun with the help of the power of the crystal ball and saving the Mo Gang; Bai Zixuan was thinking about whether the energy crystal ball was really as magical as the rumors said, and what kind of variables it would bring; Qin Mufeng didn't have so many thoughts, just thinking about being able to help when he got there; Qingyue still had a stern face, always alert to possible dangers.

One day, they finally arrived at Huayue Valley. The valley was surrounded by mountains and mist, like a fairyland. The valley was full of colorful flowers, and the breeze blew through the valley, and the fragrance of the flowers filled the air, making people feel relaxed and happy. A clear stream gurgled among the flowers, and the water hit the rocks, making a clear and pleasant sound, as if playing a beautiful piece of music.

When everyone was intoxicated by the beautiful scenery, a group of women in gorgeous clothes suddenly walked out from the depths of the flowers. The one leading them was outstanding in appearance and graceful in figure. She was Hua Yanyue, the daughter of Huayue Valley. Hua Yanyue's eyes were lively and there was a faint smile on the corners of her mouth. She walked in front of the crowd with lotus steps, and her eyes swept over them one by one, finally stopping at Bai Zixuan, and a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes.

Hua Yanyue bowed slightly and saluted, her voice melodious and sweet, like a yellow oriole singing out of a valley: "Dear guests from afar, I wonder why you come to my Huayue Valley?"

Bai Zixuan stepped forward, clasped his fists and saluted, saying respectfully, "Excuse me, young lady. We have heard that there is an energy crystal ball in Huayue Valley, and the power it contains can help people become top masters. We came here this time to ask you to help us borrow the power of the crystal ball. We will be grateful in the future."

After hearing this, Hua Yanyue smiled lightly, but a sly look flashed in her eyes. She said, "Oh? So you all came here for the crystal ball. This crystal ball is indeed a treasure of our Huayue Valley, and it is never shown to others easily. However, since you have come all the way here, it is not impossible to discuss it..."

When everyone heard that there was room for negotiation, they couldn't help but feel happy. Lin Ruoxue hurriedly said, "Please make it clear, young lady, as long as we can get the power of the crystal ball, no matter what the conditions are, we will try our best to meet them."

Hua Yanyue slowly turned her gaze towards Bai Zixuan again, her eyes full of smiles, and said, "My dear, you are handsome and have an extraordinary temperament. I like you very much. If you are willing to be the son-in-law of Huayue Valley, then I will give you this energy crystal ball. How about it?"

When these words came out, everyone was stunned. Bai Zixuan's eyes widened, his face full of surprise and embarrassment. He waved his hands and said, "Miss, this... this is not allowed. I came here this time only to seek the power of the crystal ball to help me do justice in the world, and I have no intention of getting married. I hope you don't joke about this."

After hearing this, Hua Yanyue's expression changed slightly, and a trace of displeasure flashed in her eyes. She said, "Huh, when did I ever joke about this? What I, Hua Yanyue, say always counts. If you don't want to, then please go back. You won't be able to obtain the power of this crystal ball."

Qin Mufeng, who was listening at the side, was immediately furious. He took a step forward, pointed at Hua Yanyue and said, "You are so unreasonable, woman! We have come all the way here, sincerely asking for the crystal ball, but you have made such an unreasonable request. Are you trying to make things difficult for us?"

Hua Yanyue glanced at Qin Mufeng with disdain and said, "So what if I make things difficult for you? This Huayue Valley is my home, and this crystal ball is also my family's treasure. I can do whatever I want with it. What do you think of it?"

Qing Yue frowned and turned sharply. Although he didn't like to argue with others, he couldn't help but say at this moment: "Miss, although this crystal ball belongs to your Huayue Valley, we also came here because of the rumors. If you really don't want to lend it, then forget it. Why do you have to put forward such unacceptable conditions? Aren't you deliberately making things difficult for us?"

After hearing what Qingyue said, Hua Yanyue became even more angry. She snorted coldly and said, "Humph, you guys are ungrateful. I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it. Forget it, leave now and don't get in my way here."

Having said that, Hua Yanyue turned around and was about to leave.

Qin Mufeng was extremely anxious when she saw this. She knew that if she missed this opportunity, her dream of becoming a master would be shattered. She hurried forward and grabbed Hua Yanyue's sleeve, begging, "Miss, please, we really need the power of the crystal ball. If you think it's unfair to let Mr. Bai be the only son-in-law, then... I can stay, as long as you can lend us the crystal ball and let us borrow its power."

Hua Yanyue stopped and looked back at Lin Ruoxue. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she regained her arrogant look and said, "You? Humph, who do you think you are? I want him, not you. Besides, even if you stay, it may not be worth the value of the crystal ball."

Bai Zixuan was moved after hearing what Qin Mufeng said. He looked at Lin Ruoxue and said, "Brother Qin, please don't be like this. This is my business. How can I let you sacrifice yourself for me?"

Lin Ruoxue shook her head and said, "Mr. Bai, now is not the time to talk about this. We have finally come here, we can't give up so easily."

Just when everyone was deadlocked, Hua Yanyue suddenly turned around, looked at Bai Zixuan, and said, "Humph, Bai Zixuan, think about it carefully. If you become my Huayue Valley's son-in-law, not only can you get the real power of the crystal ball, but you can also share the glory and wealth of Huayue Valley with me in the future. How many stable days can you have wandering in the rivers and lakes? Why not stay here and live together with me, isn't it a good thing?"

Bai Zixuan couldn't help but be moved when he heard this. He had indeed experienced a lot of ups and downs in the martial arts world, and sometimes he would feel exhausted and long for a stable home. But the belief in chivalry in his heart always reminded him that he could not give up the justice in the martial arts world for his own selfishness. He pondered for a moment, and slowly said: "Miss, I appreciate your kindness. But I, Bai Zixuan, am determined to be a chivalrous man in the martial arts world and protect the people of the world. This matter of a live-in son-in-law is really against my original intention. I hope the girl can understand and find another good son-in-law."

After hearing what Bai Zixuan said, Hua Yanyue's eyes flashed with disappointment, which was then replaced by anger. She shouted, "How dare you, Bai Zixuan, reject me! Do you know how many people would love to marry me, Hua Yanyue? But you are so ungrateful. Since you don't want to, I won't let you off easily. Just wait and see!"

After saying that, Hua Yanyue left angrily with the group of women, leaving Bai Zixuan and others standing there, looking at each other in bewilderment.
