NOVEL WEB Chapter 20 Jun Qianqian is here
Jun Jiu undressed and lowered herself into the hot barrel of water. The scalding temperature immediately turned her skin red, causing her to wince at the intense heat. She closed her eyes and focused on the sensation of energy from the water pouring into her body. Her skin tingled as if it were about to burst, and her body felt like it was on fire.
She breathed calmly and let the energy flow through her. After a while, her body became unbearably hot. She couldn’t see any changes, but she knew the tempered jade paste was working.
When the water cooled down and the purple hue seemed to have been absorbed, Jun Jiu climbed out of the barrel. She winced as she stood, muttering, “The nerves in this body are too sensitive. Ouch!”
Xiao Wu tried to comfort her, “Meow~ Xiao Wu will blow on it, and it won’t hurt anymore.” He attempted to use his presence within the bracelet space to alleviate her pain.
Jun Jiu smiled at Xiao Wu’s efforts. She assured him, “It’s okay. I’ll get used to it with more practice. From now on, I’ll use the tempered jade paste daily to prepare for bone-quenching and marrow-washing.”
In the following days, Jun Jiu dedicated herself to this daily routine, using the tempered jade paste to improve her physical condition. Simultaneously, she practiced the Bing Xin Jue, and Xiao Wu gradually regained his spiritual energy and reappeared from the bracelet space.
These peaceful days were abruptly interrupted when Bi Luo entered the room and announced, “Master, Jun Qianqian is here.”
Xiao Wu, appearing puzzled, commented with a “Meow?” Jun Jiu, on the other hand, remained calm.
Jun Qianqian entered the room, this time with more people than before. She looked pale and malnourished, her clothes hanging loosely on her body. Anger burned in her eyes as she glared at Jun Jiu. With a furious expression, she approached aggressively.
Jun Jiu’s lips curled into a contemptuous smile, and with a swift flick of her fingers, Jun Qianqian fell to the ground.
As Jun Qianqian struggled to get up, her face covered in blood, she pushed away her concerned maid and locked her hateful gaze on Jun Jiu. Her inability to speak only fueled her rage, and she desperately pointed at Jun Jiu.
Jun Qianqian’s maid finally deciphered her gestures and ordered the slaves to capture Jun Jiu. However, a black shadow swiftly emerged from the room, clawing at the attackers and causing them to fall with bleeding faces. The cat had taken action.
Jun Qianqian was in disbelief as she watched her slaves crumple to the ground. She realized it was the cat that had defeated her attackers.
The cat, Xiao Wu, then returned to Jun Jiu and affectionately meowed, receiving praise for a job well done.
