Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

Lu Li was just asking a random question, expecting no answer. He only hoped Jiang Qiling would go back and look it up for him to see if there was a cure. But he was surprised.

He opened his eyes wide and asked, "Qiling, I am not joking. I have a friend who is poisoned. You sure you know the cure?"

Jiang Qiling raised her head in pride and said, "I am not kidding with you. I don't know the cure myself, but I know a place that can help you. That much is certain. You want to know? Wash my feet."

"Okay!"

Lu Li told a maid next to them without any hesitation, "Get a tub of warm water."

"What?"

Jiang Qiling felt a bit uncomfortable on the idea of Lu Li, a dauntless man, would really wash her feet. But she was a stubborn girl. Now that he agreed, she would not give it up halfway.

The maid soon returned with a tub of warm water. Without any further ado, Lu Li put it in front of Jiang Qiling, grabbed her feet and took off her shoe gently.

"Ah~"

Jiang Qiling put her feet away out of shyness. Lu Li grabbed them again and took the other shoe off. He lifted her dress a bit, exposing her white shins.

Lu Li wasn't a person with a foot fetish, but upon looking at her shins and her pretty feet, he acclaimed to himself how those were masterpieces of god. A bit more was too much, and a bit less was too little.

Jiang Qiling tried to free her feet again but they were pushed down into the water by Lu Li. She was nervous and bashful. "Lu Li, I was just joking. You don't have to do this…"

Lu Li abruptly looked up and asked, "Do you mean the cure or washing your feet?"

Jiang Qiling turned her head around, afraid to look Lu Li into his eyes. She bit her lips and said, "Washing my feet. No man has touched my feet before. You don't have to do this."

"I am a man, a man of my words!" Lu Li glared at Jiang Qiling and said, "You shall face the consequences if you lie to me!"

With that said, Lu Li paid no more attention to her words and began to rub her feet carefully. Her feet sure were beautiful. They were delicate and as smooth as boiled eggs. It felt good on the skin of his hands.

Jiang Qiling said nothing more and only looked at Lu Li rubbing her feet with a blushed face. Soon, she produced a big, charming smile. For one moment, she lost herself.

After the time for two incense sticks to burn, Lu Li dried her feet, put her shoes back on, and then told the maid to empty the tub.

Then he asked seriously, "Okay, this is done. The cure?"

"Oh!"

Jiang Qiling lowered her head. After the time for 10 breaths, she regained calmness. She frowned and said, "Lu Li, I once read a secret record of the history of the Jiang Family where there is a note of Immortal's Perish. This is Voodoo. You must find a powerful warrior from the Southern Land of Voodoo. It was said that an abbot of the Great Buddha Temple can do it, but he hasn't received any visitors for 300 years. Also, he is of very high status there. Not even Jiang Wuwo can beg him into doing it."

Lu Li's eyes grew cold as he asked, "I know all this. You are talking… nonsense! This is the cure?"

"What's with the rush?"

Jiang Qiling rolled her eyes and continued, "I know a place. The powerful warriors there can definitely cure it. They can cure more horrible voodoos, let alone the Immortal's Perish."

"Where?" There was a glow in Lu Li's eyes.

"The Demon-slaying Hall!"

Jiang Qiling answered and continued in a low voice, "Lu Li, tell nobody about this. If the 12 Royal Families learn of this, they will try to implicate us."

Lu Li frowned as he remembered something. Then he suddenly asked, "Does it have something to do with the Demon-slaying Grounds?"

"Um…"

Jiang Qiling nodded and said, "The battlefield is controlled by the Demon-slaying Hall. Warriors of the Earth Immortal Realm of all families will go to the battlefield at a certain age and join the Demon-slaying Hall, the most powerful force of the Great Land. But the Demon-slaying Hall's only mission is to protect the Great Land and they take part in no families' disputes. Those warriors never go anywhere else at the Great Land and they spend their lives at the battlefield."

Lu Li knew about the Demon-slaying Grounds.

The Great Land was located at the center of the Heaven Reverse World. There were four lands at the east, west, south, and north, namely the Ocean Land of the East, Barbarian Land of the West, Voodoo Land of the South, and Feather Land of the West.

Alien races of the four lands wanted to infiltrate the Great Land at all times to occupy the most prosperous lands of the Heaven Reverse World.

The battlefield was at the middle of the four lands and the Great Land. Warriors of the Earth Immortal Realm would go there to fight with the four races to protect the Great Land at a certain age.

Lu Li asked, "How come you are sure the powerful warriors of the Demon-slaying Hall can cure the Immortal's Perish, one of the 10 most horrible poisons of the Central Plains?"

"Silly!"

Jiang Qiling pouted and said, "How many years have the powerful warriors been fighting against the four races? How many years with the Southern Land of Voodoo? If our powerful warriors could not cure those poisons, the Great Land would have long been occupied, and humans would perish."

"Right!"

Lu Li was enlightened. Jiang Qiling's words were well-reasoned. Powerful warriors of the Demon-slaying Hall were fighting against the Voodoo warrior all the time, so they must have a cure.

Lu Li was greatly inspired. As long as there was a way, no matter how hard it was, he was going down the road. 100 years was a long time. He was convinced that he could help Bai Qiuxue.

He rubbed his hands and said, "How can I go there? How can I beg the powerful warriors to help me?"

"The Demon-slaying Hall is in the Demon-slaying Grounds. I thought I told you so."

Jiang Qiling rolled her eyes again. Then she continued with a sigh, "But don't think you can beg them. Even if my father knelt to them till the end of the world, they still wouldn't do it. I told you, those warriors never interfered with the disputes of the Great Land. This is a rule that nobody can violate."

"Ah?"

Lu Li was discouraged and even a bit angry. He asked, "What? Then what good will it do if they are not going to help?"

"Not that they are not willing to help!"

Jiang Qiling said seriously, "It's just that they won't answer to any begging. You don't have to beg. You can get enough points, and when that happens… you can even ask them to capture a powerful warrior of the Voodoo Race to cure your friend, let alone ask them for help. At the Demon-slaying Hall, points are everything. If you have enough of them, you can even get an infinite supply of Mystical Materials to reach the Earth Immortal Realm."

"Oh?" Lu Li was uplifted again and he furthered his question, "How do you get points?"

Jiang Qiling made a gesture of cutting throat and answered in a cold voice, "Kill people, the alien races, and get points. Killing is the only way to get points at the Demon-slaying Grounds. Of course, you don't need to go there with your abilities. You will be crushed in less than an hour there."
