Eternal Night - Chapter 13
Huihun stared at him for a long time, then sighed and said, "You've gained a little weight, but it's not a big problem." As she spoke, she took out some bottles, jars, knives, scissors, and other such items.
Xinghun was startled and touched his face. He had no confidence in ancient cosmetic surgery. Besides, after just one glance at the child, he already knew very well the difference between the two. "Master Huihun, if someone stays away from home for half a year and then comes back, it's normal for their face to be a little fuller after eating and sleeping well. Are you sure you really want to cut some flesh off my face?"
Huihun was stunned for a moment.
Xinghun smiled faintly, slightly raised his chin, and gently tugged at his lips, perfectly mimicking the child's expression and voice. "I think, is that unnecessary?"
Huihun frowned for a moment, then relaxed, and sighed, saying, "If you could lose a little more weight, there would be no problem at all!"
Do you understand what baby fat is? Xinghun pouted.
"Eat some of this... you'll lose weight without any problem!" Huihun pulled out a bottle of medicine with his left hand.
Xinghun was both amused and exasperated when he started dieting at the age of eight.
"The most troublesome thing is the voice. Taking this will make the voice a bit hoarse. It's tiring to always pretend to speak like him." He handed over another bottle of medicine with his right hand.
Xinghun accepted it with a grin; the valley had indeed considered everything! He glanced at the long row of porcelain bottles on the table and naturally walked over to look through them. Seeing Huihun still standing behind him, he beckoned to him: "Come here, Master Huihun, tell me what kind of all-purpose tonic pills you have here, I'm afraid I'll take the wrong one."
Huihun remained unmoved with a stern face: "I'm not afraid you'll eat the wrong thing, I'm afraid you'll eat yourself silly."
Xinghun withdrew his hand on his own and said with a smile, "Every medicine has its side effects. It's best not to take medicine if you're not sick. Master Huihun, can I go find... Yuepo to play for a while?"
Huihun saw through his thoughts and said calmly, "Go. For the next month, come here for an hour every day. It will broaden your horizons and prevent you from being poisoned as soon as you leave the valley."
Xinghun laughed and said, "Have you taken any medicine that makes you immune to all poisons?"
“There are people who are immune to all poisons,” Huihun replied slowly and deliberately.
Xinghun has a bit of a longing for it.
"dead."
Xinghun turned and left, deciding to include Huihun in his revenge.
Xinghun was overjoyed to be reunited with Yuepo. He walked into the herb garden and saw Yuepo carefully wiping a green plant, which looked like a cabbage seedling, with a dry cloth. He curiously reached out to touch it.
Moon Soul slapped down: "Don't touch that!"
“Moon Soul, sigh, what a name!” Star Soul shook his head.
"What's wrong with this name? Star Soul sounds nice? It's the name of a bunch of monsters."
The Moon Spirit's true nature was revealed. The Star Soul, however, felt a sense of kinship. He sighed and said, "At least you live amidst birdsong and fragrant flowers, while I live in a tomb, in utter darkness!"
Yuepo rolled her eyes at him, carefully straightened the medicinal seedling, and said irritably, "I can tell just by looking at your skin. It's so white it's almost translucent. My master said that among those who follow the Green-Clad Monster, not many look human!"
"We meet again today, give me a gift!" Xinghun chuckled, thinking that he didn't know many people in the world, and it would be a disservice to himself not to give them a gift. He still hoped to get something good from Yuepo.
Yuepo looked around to make sure no one was there, then suddenly whispered in Xinghun's ear, "Have you seen anyone else?"
Xinghun shook his head. If he hadn't come to Huihun's place today, he wouldn't have even seen Yuepo.
"What do you want? Tell me!" Yuepo wasn't interested in anyone else anyway, and he was already happy to see Xinghun. He had spent two years tempering his temper at Huihun's place, and was no longer as flamboyant as before. He had long wanted to have a proper talk with Xinghun, but had been holding back. Now that the floodgates were open, the feelings from back then had returned.
"Of course, it's to teach me how to identify and cure poisons!" Xinghun shrugged and explained, "I'll be leaving the valley soon, and I don't want to die out there."
"Leave the valley?" Yuepo's eyes showed displeasure. Sending Xinghun out of the valley at such a young age was tantamount to deliberately sending him to his death. "Alright."
Xinghun felt a warmth in his heart and couldn't help but pat Yuepo's head.
Yuepo stared at him blankly. Xinghun was so different from the Xinghun of two years ago. He thought for a moment and said, "No matter what, I'll get you some good stuff in private."
Xinghun smiled. Suddenly, he felt somewhat guilty towards Yuepo, realizing he had always harbored ulterior motives towards him. "Why are you still so good to me after two years?"
"You idiot! Just as stupid as my brother!" Yuepo only had Xinghun as an acquaintance. The scene of Xinghun standing up for Deacon Li and telling him that it was his idea to double-cross him flashed before his eyes again. He grinned: "I'll take you to see the herbs."
Xinghun carefully observed the herbs in the herb garden, diligently noting their shapes and medicinal properties. Yuepo, worried about Xinghun, wished she could tell him everything she had learned in the past two years. One was willing to speak, and the other was willing to listen. Time passed by unnoticed.
The man in blue stood outside silently watching them, and after a long while called out, "Xinghun, come again tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Xinghun stood up, looked at the tireless Yuepo, and smiled happily: "Did you hear that? I'll come again tomorrow."
His smile, like bright sunshine, warmed Yuepo's heart. He pinched Xinghun and said seriously, "I'll make you a disguise potion, so you don't have to flaunt that femme fatale face all the time."
Xinghun felt a little smug and pleased with himself. As he walked out, he saw Huihun standing at the door watching him, and he smiled at Huihun, revealing his white teeth.

Master Qingyi spent more and more time leaving the stone chamber at night, and Xinghun also spent more and more time practicing his skills alone in the evenings. He decided not to take the weight-loss pills that brought back his soul, fearing that they might harm his body. Remembering the facial massages his ex-girlfriends used to give him every day, he sighed and started to do them, but he couldn't get rid of his baby fat. He could only reluctantly start dieting.
While his master in blue was flirting with the beautiful gentleman, he diligently practiced his skills on his own, carefully concealing most of his strength from his master.
Three months passed, Xinghun counted the days on his fingers. In his experience, three months was just the honeymoon phase. Curious about the progress of his relationship with Master Qingyi and the handsome gentleman, he said to the man in blue, "Master, the handsome gentleman likes tea and often says he collects plum blossoms in winter and stores them in the snow, I wonder..."
"Where in the valley are there plum trees? I'd like to gather some to offer as a tribute to my beautiful master."
The man in blue was taken aback and said, "You can't go to Plum Garden now."
Xinghun sighed, seemingly disappointed. There was another place in the valley he couldn't reach, called Plum Garden. Perhaps other children were learning kung fu there, he wondered to himself. Besides Plum Garden, how many other places in these mountains lived like his? How many masters would he face when he finally escaped the valley? This was what troubled him.
Just two days later, Xinghun tasted tea brewed with plum blossom snow in the beautiful gentleman's bamboo house. He was utterly captivated by the aroma: "Fragrant, sweet, and with an unforgettable aftertaste, the tea you brewed today has a unique flavor. Teach me, Xinghun, how to brew such a taste!"
He stole a glance and saw a faint, unnatural blush on the handsome man's face, his eyes as gentle as spring water. Xinghun almost swallowed the cup whole.
Back in the stone chamber, he naturally praised the beautiful gentleman's tea and the happiness on his face.
The man in blue said "oh" and left again that night.
