Chapter 2372: Chapter 2321: Eternal Damnation

“Yes, but even so, there are still some things that still need to be confirmed first," Zu An said. As he spoke, he got up and walked toward the entrance.

Ji Xiaoxi and Jiang Luofu both stood up too. When he saw that Ji Xiaoxi really wanted to say something, Zu An was a bit curious. He asked, “Xiaoxi, you…”

“I…” Ji Xiaoxi had just opened her mouth when her face turned a bit red. She seemed to be feeling a bit awkward, but she was too embarrassed to say what was on her mind.

Jiang Luofu couldn't help but hold her forehead, saying, “I think I should speak for her.”

Xiaoxi’s personality was a bit too soft, so it was no wonder that Ji Dengtu didn’t feel too at ease letting her go out like this. She looked like someone who was easy to bully and take advantage of.

Jiang Luofu continued, “Xiaoxi wants to help you, but her cultivation isn’t high enough. So, she wants to research some poisons to deal with the monsters. But in order to do so, she needs to collect some herbs in the Monster World.”

Ji Xiaoxi’s face was now really red. She felt that her big sisters were all really amazing, and that she was the most useless out of everyone here.

“That’s a good thing; there’s no need to be hesitant about that at all. Xiaoxi really is caring," Zu An couldn't help but say with a smile.

“But it is a bit dangerous outside…” He took out many ingredients from the Brilliant Glass Bead and continued, “These ingredients should be enough.”

“No, they’re not.” Ji Xiaoxi hurriedly waved her hand. Now that it involved her own area of expertise, she seemed to have become a different person. “These are all ingredients from our world. The poisons that can be made from them might be effective against the creatures of our world, but they might not be able to defeat these monsters. If we want to win against them, we need to use methods that are in line with local conditions. We need to figure out the medicinal effects of the local medicine, and then I can research and produce a kind of poison that will be effective against the monsters.”

“But right now, the outside world…” Zu An suddenly realized just how difficult the situation was. If Ji Xiaoxi could make that kind of poison, that would be helpful too. Thus, he changed his tone. “I'm about to meet with the True Demon race’s great elder. Come with us. We can ask to see if the True Demon race has something like a medicinal field.”

Ji Xiaoxi’s eyes lit up. “Thank you, big brother Zu!”

The other four women understood the severity of the matter, and didn’t argue about going with him. They continued to remain in the cave dwelling. They continued with what they'd been doing, whether that was drawing talismans or cultivating. They were making their preparations for the great battles that were to come.

Along the way, Zu An asked the two women with them, “How is your progress with the monster language?”

“About seventy to eighty percent there,” Jiang Luofu replied.

“I’m the slowest out of everyone…” Ji Xiaoxi said, feeling a bit embarrassed.

Jiang Luofu couldn't hold herself back from saying, “Xiaoxi has actually been working really hard. Ordinary conversation should no longer be a problem.”

Zu An was a bit surprised. “You all really learned the language quickly!”

After all, they didn’t have any cheats like the Skill System.

Jiang Luofu smiled and said, “That jade strip has the ability to shorten learning times. Besides, they're all among the most talented of individuals, with astonishing potential They all really want to help you as quickly as possible too, so they didn’t stop at all, and were trying to learn the monster language in the shortest amount of time possible.”

Ji Xiaoxi couldn't help but add, “Little aunt also studied really seriously. She was the fastest one among all of us.”

Zu An gave Jiang Luofu a surprised look.

When she saw that, Jiang Luofu’s face reddened. She put on a cool and mature expression. “For better or for worse, I was everyone’s principal at one point in time. If even my students learned faster than me, what face would I have left?”

Ji Xiaoxi mumbled, “You clearly wanted to help big bro…”

Her mouth was covered before she could finish her sentence. A surprising look of embarrassment and panic appeared on Jiang Luofu’s face. “No one will think you’re mute if you don’t speak.”

“Wuwu…” Ji Xiaoxi blinked in confusion. She didn’t understand why her little aunt didn’t feel grateful at all when she was speaking up for her.

Jiang Luofu held Ji Xiaoxi’s mouth while explaining to Zu An, “Don’t think too much of it. It’s just that I need to do everything I can in the current situation too.” The redness on her face didn’t go away the entire time, however.

Zu An found that a bit strange. Why would she think I'd read so much into it?

But they quickly encountered some True Demons, so he couldn't continue to ask her any other questions. The young True Demons greeted him respectfully, and Zu An nodded slightly in return.

Even after he left, the young True Demons were all pointing and talking about Jiang Luofu.

“That woman’s legs really are incredible! And what is she wearing? It looks so amazing.”

“They seem to be some scientific civilization’s socks. They're called black silk... something. They do look great.”

“But I think that little loli is better. I want to savor those white silk popsicle legs for myself.”

“The young master really is lucky.”

…

The women could now already understand the monster language. When they heard the filthy speech, Ji Xiaoxi’s face turned red and she felt really wronged. Meanwhile, Jiang Luofu’s expression turned completely cold. She didn’t really care if they were only talking about her. She was already used to people talking behind her back, since she dressed the way she did. However, these people actually had such thoughts about Xiaoxi!

Zu An gently held her waist while saying, “The Monster World is just vulgar like this. You don’t need to lower yourself to their level.”

When she felt the heat suddenly come from his arm, Jiang Luofu’s rage suddenly disappeared. Instead, her body felt a bit itchy. She wanted him to move his hand away, but she remembered her current identity and could only hold it in.

Zu An saw that she was on the brink of exploding. He could only do his best to appease her and Ji Xiaoxi.

And yet, that only made Jiang Luofu even more sensitive. However, she couldn't speak about any of it out loud.

…

Fortunately, they quickly arrived at the great elder’s dwelling. He quickly came out to receive them when he heard the news. When he saw Zu An, he clearly sighed in relief. “It’s good that the young master is fine. I was worried that the lord would treat you unfavorably.”

His eyes then shifted to the two women next to Zu An. One of them was mature and elegant, while one was young and delicate.

The young master’s tastes are extensive, as expected.

“I was able to make it through due to a fluke,” Zu An said. “I have some things to discuss with the great elder in private.”

The great elder’s expression became serious. He turned to the side and made an inviting gesture. “Let’s continue the conversation inside.”

Zu An used the chance to secretly say, “There are some things that I don’t want them to hear. I have a servant who is very interested in medicine, and she lacks ingredients right now…”

The great elder was tactful and quickly said, “Medicine, ki stones, and other things that come into the city are normally strictly managed, but our True Demon race has special status and we have some additional privileges. There is a small medicinal garden deep in the valley that they can go for a stroll around. If there is anything they want, they can pick at will.”

The two women were the young master’s people, and he'd even brought them with him, which meant that he doted on them a lot, so he naturally needed to treat them well too. After all, the entire True Demon race’s future was relying on this young master. Thus, he quickly called over a servant to lead the two girls to the medicine garden.

Ji Xiaoxi was really happy when she heard that. As long as she had the ingredients of this world, she had confidence in her ability to create poisons that would be effective against monsters.

Zu An secretly warned the two to be careful, and to contact him at once if anything came up. Xie Daoyun had made many communication talismans that allowed them to alert each other over short distances, and he could swiftly move over if something happened.

“I'll take care of Xiaoxi. Don’t worry.” Jiang Luofu gave him a look. She held Ji Xiaoxi’s hand and left.

Once they left, the great elder asked curiously, “What is the important matter that the young master wants to discuss with this old one?”

“The True Demon race might be consigned to eternal damnation.”

Zu An’s very first sentence almost scared the great elder to death.
