Chapter 785: Chapter 385 Red Rain

After Xiao Lingqiu left, Jiang Shouzhong, feeling bored, decided to knock on the door of the neighboring room belonging to Fang.

Inside, the old servant Mo Bailing was giving Fang a herbal foot bath.

Due to long-term reliance on a wheelchair, Fang’s legs appeared unusually skinny and were slightly atrophied, with a pale blueish tinge to the skin.

The entire room was filled with a faint medicinal fragrance.

"To be honest, you should find a pretty maid to attend to you personally."

Jiang Shouzhong joked.

Fang chuckled softly: "I’m not as charming as Jiang Shouzhong, surrounded by women. Which woman in the world would fancy a cripple like me?"

"Some people don’t care about appearances, only the inner self matters."

Jiang Shouzhong casually picked up a collection of poems from the table.

Strangely, it was a children’s primer poetry book, and some characters in the poems were deliberately erased, making the originally smooth verses awkward to read.

Fang looked at him earnestly:

"Do you think so? Let me ask you, Jiang, would you fall for a very kind and gentle, yet ugly and overweight woman?"

"Uh..."

Jiang Shouzhong thought for a moment, put down the collection with some guilt, and said, "It depends on the situation; after all, emotions are unpredictable. Not everyone values the external."

Fang laughed: "Perhaps there are, but it just requires some luck."

He lowered his head and spoke gently to Mo Bailing: "Uncle Mo, I’m going out for a stroll with Jiang Shouzhong; no need to follow."

Mo Bailing nodded, carefully wiped Fang’s legs and feet dry, put on new shoes and socks, and said politely to Jiang Shouzhong: "Jiang, please take good care of the young master."

"Don’t worry, no one dares to cause trouble in this village."

Although Jiang Shouzhong didn’t understand why Fang suddenly wanted to go out, he didn’t think much of it and wheeled the chair out of the courtyard.

"Where to?"

Jiang Shouzhong asked.

Fang pointed to a quiet path covered with fallen leaves on the right: "Just take a walk."

Following his suggestion, Jiang Shouzhong pushed the wheelchair slowly down the path.

The sun was setting, casting dappled light through the treetops, adding to the tranquility.

Jiang Shouzhong suddenly thought of his superior, Li Nanshuang.

At Huoyun Mountain, he also pushed a wheelchair around for her to relax.

"Is there no cure for your legs?"

Jiang Shouzhong asked.

Fang shook his head: "Grandfather tried many ways, but none could make me stand. I eventually gave up. But after sitting for a long time, you get used to it, especially with someone to push.

Moreover, sometimes sitting for a long time, you discover and contemplate interesting things."

Jiang Shouzhong said: "I have a friend who is now in the same situation as you, unsure how to treat it."

"A friend?"

Fang’s tone was teasing.

Jiang Shouzhong was momentarily taken aback, then chuckled: "I misspoke, it’s my wife. She’s from the Li family, named Li Nanshuang. You should have heard of her."

Fang gently tapped the wheelchair armrest with his fingers and said slowly: "I’ve heard of her, and I also know Miss Li has a special condition where she cannot strain herself with physical exertion or she’d petrify and die, not even an Immortal could save her."

Jiang Shouzhong sighed: "Yeah, she almost lost her life saving me, that silly girl."

"Then why didn’t she die?"

Fang retorted.

Jiang Shouzhong was momentarily uncomfortable with Fang’s words, but recognizing no malice, he shook his head and said: "I’m clueless, maybe it was Heaven’s blessing."

"The Heavens are impartial, they don’t particularly favor anyone."

Fang smiled lightly, "Since she survived, it means you saved her. So, instead of seeking doctors everywhere, you should think more about how to use yourself to treat her leg ailment."

"Me?"

Jiang Shouzhong was stunned, lost in thought.

The two arrived at a low cliff, offering a broad view of Demon Sea Mountain.

Mist shrouded the mountain, intermittently visible, with occasional breezes stirring the pines, resonating with distant streams, creating an exhilarating scene.

"Do you know why it’s called Demon Sea Mountain?"

Fang suddenly asked.

Jiang Shouzhong replied: "I only heard it was once a Holy Land."

Fang’s face was calm, his voice steady and gentle:

"Legend has it, in Ancient Times, there was a vast ocean here, rich in Spiritual Energy. Many Magic Artifacts and treasures were buried under the sea, and even a moon named Water Moon."

Later, as the sea gradually dried up, people flocked to seize the treasures. Most were taken, leaving only those unable to be taken due to special reasons.

Eventually, this place slowly became a Holy Land, and people continued to seek fortune here. Notably, many Cultivators successfully achieved Ascension here, attracting countless others seeking fortune."

Fang paused in his speech and pointed to the secret realm of Moon in Water Bridge far off, wrapped in a Barrier,

"There’s still treasure buried there, but no one can find it."

Jiang Shouzhong squinted and looked.

Vaguely, he seemed to see a giant cactus.

Jiang Shouzhong wondered: "Given that, this Holy Land shouldn’t have the ’Demon’ character, considering it contains so many treasures and has helped so many ascend, it doesn’t seem connected to ’Demon’."

"You’re right."

Fang nodded with a smile, "Many don’t think about it since it’s just a name.

I didn’t care either until I was bored and thoroughly reviewed numerous records about this place, discovering two interesting legends.
