Chương 46: Good karma

As I walked outside, I noticed Elder Tang waiting for me, looking injured and her azure robes and chainmail beneath sliced open in several places. She was drinking tea with Sakura and Nana, which was fitting since they were all at Peak Core Realm, just like me.

"Hello, my ladies. Hua just formed her Core too, so I was busy." I said and sat down for my wife to pour me tea.

"It's fine. Sister Tang has brought you something, Pef Tian." Sakura said in a calm voice, so this wasn't urgent. The old woman placed a storage bag on the table, and drew a deep breath. Already unlocked, so I could just sense what was inside the bag. A mess of weapons, armor, gold bars, food crates and male heads. Two Core Realm men among them.

"Did you raid a slaver camp?" I asked in surprise. That would indeed be an answer for her wounds. Two Core slavers... the Elder was good at fighting.

"Exactly the same as you did, hero Pef Tian. There were just 16 Foundation and 2 Core slavers. We also rescued over 1000 women, of which 7 have the Yin Meridian. The girls... are badly wounded. Venerable Ling has taken them to the Ice Hall, until you would be available..." the Elder said with a tired voice. Well, hero worship is dangerous.

"Don't copy my deeds, only the mindset! If there were 3 Core slavers, you'd all be dead or worse." I said with a disappointed voice. The old woman nodded and sipped tea in silence. I held out an iron nail.

"I expect you rushed them from the sky, after declaring Starfall?" I asked with a grin. Airborne operations did work out like that, right at contact. Surprise is a huge force modifier.

"Starfall... in 13 seconds. We killed half of them by surprise. Took less than 13 seconds, just as you said. But afterward, they hid behind hostages... killed so many. It was a bloodbath." Elder Tang said with a sad voice. Still, not bad. They lived to learn a lesson.

"A simple iron nail. You throw it, with a cultivator's force. One man down, brain-dead. Then throw another. It won't work for long, but you could have avoided most injuries. You had numbers too, unlike me who did not." I explained patiently and handed the nail to the Elder.

"If their qi shields are not up... damn it. This is all my fault!" the Elder mumbled and blood began to seep into her robes. I took out a warm and fresh Lotion bottle.

"Drink this and rest. You'll be fine. I'll go heal the girls." I said with a mild voice, then flew up and away. Might as well check on Minghue if I was visiting the Ice Hall. A freezer powered by qi and underground spirit veins. As I entered the frozen hall, a Venerable old hag stepped beside me.

"Bravery... should be tempered by skill and experience. You pushed the White Stars too fast, too soon" she complained, although I didn't even know about their slave raid until now.

"Of course, Venerable Ling. The girls didn't set a Yin beacon first, to make sure a Nascent Soul would arrive in time. They didn't throw iron nails either. I'm frankly surprised they aren't all drugged to their gills and tied to rape beds. Luck helps too." I agreed in a pleasant voice.

"Minghue... she recovered a bit, with your milk. How long until you form your Nascent Soul?" the old woman asked in a different tone. Hopeful, perhaps.

"I'm almost there." I said and stopped in front of the White Stars, resting on ice jade beds, each wounded worse than the next. The chainmail helped, but it wasn't an Artifact armor. Just steel chain links. What served great against mortals didn't work so well against cultivators. I took out a few bottles of Tier 2 healing pills and fed them to the girls, then extracted bits of metal and shattered rings from their flesh. The external wounds should heal fast, less than an hour.

"Let's come back later. I want to see Minghue." I said with a sad voice, and walked deeper into the hall. More women also rested on ice beds, injured from different missions. Where I could, I stopped to help, feeding them pills. Some cases were beyond me, amputations in particular, but the ice will keep cellular degradation at bay.

"Your sect needs a medical ward. Many of these injuries could have been treated right away." I spoke with a disgruntled voice, then stopped in front of Minghue. Without her veil, the woman looked only middle-aged, but scarred by suffering. She opened one eye and smiled in pain.

"Thank you for that Lotus Milk, Pef Tian. Even though I didn't get an enlightenment, I do feel better..." she said in a grateful voice, then coughed in pain.

"You look like hell. Luckily for you, I am the best doctor around. Also, don't blow me up when I look at your body. I don't like pain..." I answered with a sneaky voice, then went and undressed the Venerable to check her body from every side. I was already familiar with the blood curse, and could even cure it with 100 doses of internally injected milk. But the chest wounds... some kind of tainted weapon, likely imbued with demonic essence which kept the wounds open to the air, not letting them heal.

On a whim, I licked a finger and stuck it inside her visible lung. Tian got to work, comparing thousands of similar injuries he had taken or seen on others.

"Fenghue... she let you have sex?" Minghue asked a bit curious. I smiled, and switched fingers using the one with my ring on it.

"You realize I have my finger inside you right now? That's already a type of sex. Not the pleasant kind, sadly..." I whispered and placed my ear on her chest to feel the heart beat. It wasn't my fault women had those big boobs on the chest.

"Pef Tian! What medical practice is that...?" Venerable Ling, who stood behind me growled in anger.

"Wait. I hear something!" I said with a wondering voice, then rubbed my ear on Minghue's cold breast. Her heart skipped a beat, and her blood began to rush to her face. Hearing someone blush was strange and new. Deciding to do a good deed today, I glanced at the other woman.

"Venerable Ling, give us a moment. I might have something..." I whispered secretly, and the old woman puffed, then sped away.

"Are you going to molest an injured woman... again?" Minghue asked with a tinge of shyness.

"Only if you beg me to, like Fenghue did. Stay still for a minute." I asked and extracted a petal of the Blue Lotus, and left it inside her gored lung. Blood and demonic taint recoiled like burned from the blue petal, and Minghue gasped in surprise.

"I value my life a lot, Minghue. Dissolve this in your blood, and keep my secret." I whispered and poked her breast as I stood up. Too bad it was hard and cold like ice. Maybe she'll defrost one day. The ice fairy blushed, and her eyes glinted with something complicated... then glowed with bright light. Oops. I did it again! Any Nascent Soul could sense this from miles away! The lotus Dao faded fast, but not fast enough. In a second, 4 Venerables appeared behind me as I dressed Minghue back in her white robes.

"On one hand I feel like crushing your skull for defiling my precious sister... on the other..." the Sect Master spoke coldly.

"It's fine. I was here when Pef Tian undressed her. For medical reasons. Minghue didn't seem to mind. But the enlightenment... did you feed her your milk, directly?" Venerable Ling asked me with a threatening voice. Haha. She was upset she left and didn't see.

"Not telling! A doctor never reveals his secrets!" I proclaimed bravely, and adjusted my pants. Misdirection worked nicely. Fenghue and Quinhue sighed in tandem.

"We know it was your milk! Scumbag!" they said at once.

"You can ask Minghue then. She'll finish her enlightenment in a bit, and feel better too." I shrugged and walked off like a proud peacock.

"... Minghue wouldn't let a man do that." the Sect Master grumbled, in half-disbelief.

"Hmph! What do you know! Husband has his special ways with women." Quinhue defended me like a good wife. Ignoring their drama, I returned to my White Stars, and began rubbing their naked bodies with my milk lotion. It fit too, painting the White Stars white.

"There's no blood curse, so no reason to insert your dick anywhere, right?" my wife asked while watching me spread the milk.

"Not this time. The girls got away easy, despite acting so foolish. Then again, if you want the Dao to notice you... it's not stupid if it works." I spoke in a wise voice, and fondled Mina's breasts for a minute too long.

"You'd think you've seen enough boobs at home. Those aren't even that big!" Quinhue grumbled as I blessed the other girls by laying hands.

"They will grow. Have you seen any peasant women with small tits?" I argued while turning them around to rub their backs and butts with more milk lotion.

"..." my wife was defeated by my logical argument and just came to hug me from behind.

"Thank you, for Minghue. We all love her so much..." I grinned a bit too wide.

"Minghue had great boobs too. Even better than yours! And they feel..." I began my praise when Quinhue turned me around and shut me up with a hot kiss. With a nod, she stole me away, and we rushed into my room to get naked. I guess this was the karma for my good deeds.
