Immortal after a Hundred Reincarnations

He had gotten soaked in the rain earlier because, naturally, Xu Lei didn’t want to expose the fact that he possessed Magical Power in front of so many people.

Although he was carrying explosives now, his ability to resist some karmic repercussions was already much stronger than that of ordinary Cultivators.

But it was still best to avoid getting tangled in too much karma if he could.

That was why Xu Lei had acted like a normal old man.

Holding an umbrella, getting soaked in the rain, walking on foot.

Xu Lei walked out of his room.

He went to the room next door, knocked, and asked, "Bai Ling, girl, are you done washing up?"

That’s right, this hideous little beggar’s name was Bai Ling.

Earlier, Xu Lei had brought her to this inn.

Considering she was a girl, and since Xu Lei didn’t want to share a room and wasn’t short on money, he had simply gotten two rooms.

Originally, Xu Lei had wanted to hire a female attendant to help Bai Ling take a hot bath.

But unexpectedly, everyone he found was so frightened by Bai Ling’s appearance that they all ran away.

Even when he offered a relatively high price, no one was willing to help her bathe.

They were afraid Bai Ling had a contagious disease.

Of course, Xu Lei couldn’t exactly produce a certificate proving she was disease-free.

Xu Lei had been about to raise his offer again.

After all, sometimes when a problem can’t be solved with money, it just means not enough money was offered.

However, Bai Ling stopped Xu Lei, saying she could wash herself if he just helped her into the tub.

Xu Lei had already spent a lot just getting her a room.

She didn’t want to spend any more of his money.

Thinking about it, Xu Lei didn’t want any more trouble either.

So he agreed to her suggestion.

After helping her out of her clothes and into the tub,

he let her bathe by herself.

Then Xu Lei returned to his own room to bathe.

He had only just come back over.

Suddenly, a loud THUD came from the room, followed by a cry of pain.

"What’s wrong?" Hearing this, Xu Lei threw caution to the wind and burst through the door.

He found Bai Ling collapsed on the floor next to the bathtub.

Apparently, she had tried to climb out and get dressed on her own, but she had fallen.

And when Bai Ling saw that Xu Lei had seen her body,

her eyes filled with despair and terror.

Because fifty percent of her entire body was also covered in the same white, moss-like patches that were on her face.

Combined with her wet, white hair,

you could say that without her clothes, she looked even more like a monster.

Sometimes, when she looked down at her own body, she also felt that she might truly be a monster.

Xu Lei immediately took off his outer robe.

He quickly walked over and draped it over Bai Ling’s body.

"Are you all right?"

Xu Lei asked, "This is my fault.

I shouldn’t have left you to bathe alone.

I was worried about the impropriety between men and women.

But you’re just a little girl of seven or eight,

and I’m already a decrepit old man.

Really, there’s no need for us to worry about such distinctions.

From now on, until your legs are better, I’ll help you bathe."

Besides, servants were unwilling and very afraid of the white patches on Bai Ling’s body.

Although someone would surely be willing for a high enough price,

he figured Bai Ling probably wouldn’t want that.

After all, other people, unlike Xu Lei, couldn’t accept her appearance.

Even if they took the job for the money, they might occasionally betray their fear and disgust in their eyes.

That could hurt this little girl who had already suffered enough.

"You... what do you mean?"

Bai Ling asked in astonishment, "My legs can get better?"

"Of course they can."

Xu Lei said, "Other people certainly couldn’t cure you.

But you’re lucky you met me.

It just so happens that I can cure you.

Perhaps it was fate,

that we should meet at this time."

If this had been any other time, when Xu Lei didn’t need her help communicating with the Creepy Spirits, he probably wouldn’t have saved her.

And if it had been any earlier, before Xu Lei possessed the Phoenix True Flame, he wouldn’t have been able to cure her either.

Because to treat the problems of someone with her constitution, one needed to use an extraordinary Treasure of the utmost Yang alignment.

The Phoenix True Flame was one such thing.

As he spoke, Xu Lei wrapped her in the robe and picked her up.

Her body was so small and thin that it took no effort at all.

After carrying her to the bed, Xu Lei dried her white hair.

Once he had her cleaned up,

he circulated his Phoenix True Flame Power, channeling it into her legs.

Sure enough, he saw that her meridians were congested with all sorts of strange, stagnant Yin Qi.

Or rather, it might not have been Yin Qi, it just looked like it.

In any case, it was quite sinister and bizarre.

It wasn’t ordinary Yin Qi.

’Eerie Qi’ might be a more accurate term.

It was impossible to dispel it using Magical Power alone.

However, as the Phoenix True Flame Power circulated, this Eerie Qi gradually dissolved.

And throughout this process, Little Bai Ling just watched Xu Lei.

「In the blink of an eye, another seven days had passed.」

Xu Lei still hadn’t seen a single Demon Spirit enter or leave the Eastern Wilderness Marsh.

His previous plan had still not come to fruition.

However, during these past few days of living with Bai Ling and clearing her meridians daily with the Phoenix True Flame Power, he had managed to completely heal her legs.

"Master, Master! My legs can move! My legs are healed!"

Bai Ling was incredibly shocked and excited, her eyes welling up with tears.

When she tried to walk, she nearly stumbled and fell.

Although the physical function of her legs was restored, she hadn’t yet relearned how to use them.

"Don’t rush, don’t rush. Just take your time and learn to walk slowly."

Xu Lei quickly steadied her.

Of course, Xu Lei hadn’t saved Bai Ling for nothing.

He was, in fact, also planning to use her, to have her help him communicate with the Creepy Spirits in the future.

Therefore, Xu Lei had already taken Bai Ling as his disciple.
