Chapter 330: Possible Dangers (1/2)
Lu Wenshu thought that Bai Luochu would leave in a fit of anger. He never expected her to propose the idea of discussing the possible dangers on the journey. He was overjoyed and immediately agreed, “Divine Physician Bai is right, the Desolate Region is filled with dangers and we should plan for any contingencies.”
Pei Rumo was rather surprised that Bai Luochu didn’t fall out on the spot. After thinking about it, he realized that she was a concoction manic and it was impossible for her not to be tempted by the Field Pearl Flower.
“We still know nothing about the situation inside the Desolate Region. Let’s talk about the journey first. The borders of the Desolate Region have little to no human presence. We might not be able to find a place to rest and we might need to set up camp. This shouldn’t be a problem as we have an army with us.” Bai Luochu disregarded the schemes and started to break down the situation.
When she brought up Pei Rumo’s army, he hurriedly added, “Divine Physician Bai doesn’t have to worry. We can rely on them. The soldiers and officers can provide any assistance you need.”
After receiving Pei Rumo’s guarantee, Bai Luochu nodded and relaxed, “Accomodation is only one of the problems we will face. After all, we are going on a campaign and rations are a huge problem. We can’t fight a war on an empty stomach. Other than rations, we might meet aggressive spirit beasts during the journey.”
“What should we do about it?” Pei Rumo heard this feedback and immediately asked. He felt that spirit beasts wouldn’t be a problem as Bai Luochu subdued a Green Flame Eagle in the past. Moreover, the chief disciple of his sect, Lu Wenshu, was present as well. Spirit beasts shouldn’t be a problem for both of them… However, he seemed to have forgotten about his officers and soldiers...
Bai Luochu stayed silent. Instead, Lu Wenshu glanced at Bai Luochu before giving his suggestion, “I heard that there is a prescription of herbs that can repel spirit beasts. If everyone carries a bag, spirit beasts wouldn’t approach the army. If any of them dares to approach, we should have no problem killing them off with our huge army.”
Bai Luochu glanced at Lu Wenshu and cursed silently. Damn this man… Why is he always making use of others? Even though I am no longer the evil dao witch of the past, he is still involving me in his schemes. Why didn’t I notice this in my previous life?!
After listening to Lu Wenshu, Pei Rumo looked at Bai Luochu expectantly. His scorching gaze seemed to be burning a hole through her and she felt that she didn’t have a choice. “Your First Highness doesn’t have to worry. I will give you the list of herbs and you can instruct your men to purchase them.”
Bai Luochu contemplated for a moment and felt that there was nothing else of concern. Just as she was about to leave, Lu Wenshu interrupted her.
“The Desolate Region isn’t inhabited by humans and has ample spirit qi. The spirit beasts there should be rather formidable and some might already possess vitality essence. If we really encounter those spirit beasts, Divine Physician Bai should kill some of them to extract their vitality essence.”
