Chapter 41 Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit
Chapter 41 Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit
Blue Rabbit, who had taken the wrong turn, finally arrived at the Golden Whip Creek Inn. Seeing the brightly lit inn, Blue Rabbit stopped the carriage, turned around, and went into the carriage to help Rainbow Cat out.
At this time, Rainbow Cat was suffering from internal injuries and was physically weak. Back in the Jade Toad Palace, Rainbow Cat had not yet fully recovered from his injuries when he forcibly joined forces with Blue Rabbit to defeat Pig Wujie, which also aggravated his injuries.
Throughout the entire Seven Swordsman series, Rainbow Cat was almost always poisoned or injured in the early and middle stages, and several times he was seriously injured, with his injuries never fully healed.
Supporting Rainbow Cat, Blue Rabbit was about to approach the inn when the inn's door creaked open from the inside.
Blue Rabbit was startled. She hadn't even noticed anyone behind the door before it opened.
Instinctively protecting Rainbow Cat beside her, Blue Rabbit looked at the wide-open door.
Fang Xiu pushed open the door and stepped out. As Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit approached, he had already confirmed their identities.
Blue Rabbit practiced the Ice Soul Sword Technique, and in Fang Xiu's perception, she was like a solidified ice shadow that did not move. In contrast, Rainbow Cat beside her radiated a fiery heat, but perhaps because of his injury, Rainbow Cat's aura was noticeably weaker.
Upon opening the door, Fang Xiu was even more certain of the two people's identities. Although their human forms differed from his childhood memories, he could recognize them at a glance.
"Young Hero Rainbow Cat, Palace Mistress Blue Rabbit, welcome to Golden Whip Stream Inn! I'm Fang Xiu, the innkeeper!"
Regardless of whether they are righteous or villainous, from the white path or the black path, everyone who sees Rainbow Cat calls him Young Hero Rainbow Cat. He was Fang Xiu's first idol when he was young.
Fang Xiu's enthusiastic attitude seemed genuine and he appeared to have no ill intentions. Moreover, Fang Xiu claimed to be the owner of the Golden Whip Creek Inn, so Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit followed Fang Xiu into the inn. The first thing they saw upon entering was Big Ben, who was fast asleep.
"A Mercedes-Benz warrior!"
The two were surprised to find that the Mercedes had gotten ahead of them. Upon reflection, they realized that they had taken the wrong turn and gone around in circles, so this was to be expected.
Upon seeing the wine jars piled around Da Ben, Blue Rabbit and Rainbow Cat immediately understood that Da Ben had drunk too much.
"Big Ben, wake up! Rainbow Cat and the others are here."
As he spoke, Fang Xiu slapped Da Ben with his palm, using his powerful internal energy to dissolve the alcohol in Da Ben's body and forcefully wake him up.
"What powerful internal energy! What exquisite control of internal energy!" Hong Mao's eyes lit up at Fang Xiu's move.
Injury does not mean that Rainbow Cat's eyesight has deteriorated. Fang Xiu's move demonstrates extremely powerful internal strength. Using internal strength to neutralize the effects of alcohol on oneself and others is a completely different level of difficulty. Moreover, this operation undoubtedly requires strong control of internal strength.
Fang Xiu struck with his palm, and Da Ben was enveloped in a cloud of alcohol vapor. The smell of alcohol in the room became much stronger. Da Ben then opened his eyes after a burp.
"...?? It's dawn?"
His last memory was of drinking earlier, and knowing himself, Da Ben thought that when he woke up again, it would probably be dawn. But when he opened his eyes, he saw Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit.
"Young Hero Rainbow Cat! Palace Mistress Blue Rabbit! You've arrived?"
Upon seeing Rainbow Cat and the others, Da Ben, now sober, was overjoyed.
Looking at Da Ben, Hong Mao and the others were equally happy. Back in the Jade Toad Palace, Da Ben had risked his life to help them, proving himself to be a trustworthy person.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Rainbow Cat looked at Fang Xiu. The first thing Rainbow Cat noticed upon seeing him was the long sword in Fang Xiu's hand, the Purple Cloud Sword, one of the Seven Swords.
As the former leader of the Seven Swords, Rainbow Cat's father, White Cat, had told Rainbow Cat about the characteristics of the other six swords when he was young. Therefore, Rainbow Cat recognized the Purple Cloud Sword at first glance, but he was not completely sure. He always felt that there was something wrong with the Purple Cloud Sword.
"Boss Fang Xiu, are you the Master of the Purple Cloud Sword?"
Time was of the essence, so Rainbow Cat asked directly. Everyone looked at Fang Xiu, who was also very concerned about the matter. If Fang Xiu hadn't called out Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit's names at the beginning, they probably would have had to fight first.
When this was mentioned, Fang Xiu immediately became serious and said, "No, although I know the Purple Cloud Sword Technique, I am not the master of the sword. The master of the Purple Cloud Sword is someone else."
Fang Xiu then recounted the Demonic Sect's conspiracy in detail. When he heard that the Demonic Sect had actually sent someone to steal the Purple Cloud Sword Technique and even wanted to secretly substitute someone else for the real Purple Cloud Sword Master, he was deeply moved.
The most outspoken of them all, Da Ben, slammed his fist on the table and roared, "Those demonic cultists! They're always resorting to underhanded tricks!"
Although Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit did not speak, their expressions showed their agreement. They dared not imagine what a terrible scene it would be if there were really spies from the Demonic Cult among the Seven Swords.
"This place has been exposed and is no longer safe. Just in case, I'll let Sally leave first, while I stay behind to wait and assist Young Hero Rainbow Cat in leaving together."
"In that case, let's hurry up and... cough cough!!"
After hearing Fang Xiu's words, Hongmao realized that the inn had been exposed. He immediately decided to leave the inn first. However, as soon as he stood up, he couldn't stop coughing. His body trembled slightly and sweat appeared on his forehead. In his agitated state, his old injuries, which had not fully healed, relapsed.
"Rainbow Cat!"
"Rainbow Cat Hero!"
Rainbow Cat's unusual behavior caused everyone's expressions to change. Blue Rabbit quickly supported Rainbow Cat, while Fang Xiu reached out to take his pulse.
Before awakening his memories and entering the gray fog space, Fang Xiu learned a wide variety of things. After all, if his martial arts skills weren't good enough, he would make up for it with technical skills. Fang Xiu's medical skills were passable.
Holding Rainbow Cat's wrist, Fang Xiu remained calm, while Rainbow Cat himself paced back and forth impatiently.
"Boss Fang, how is Rainbow Cat's injury?"
"Young Master Rainbow Cat's external injuries are not serious, but his internal injuries are the main problem. His old injuries have not healed and new ones have been added, making his condition worse. In addition, he has not rested since his injury and has been traveling a long way. I'm afraid he will need to rest for a while."
"But don't worry too much. There are plenty of medicinal herbs in the inn, as well as a thousand-year-old ginseng. We'll prepare it into medicine for Young Hero Rainbow Cat later, and after a good night's rest, he should feel much better."
"But we can stay with the Demonic Cult..." Rainbow Cat didn't want to put those around him in danger because of his own actions, so he preferred to leave before the Demonic Cult arrived.
"If the evil cult is going to come, it will come sooner. Rather than fighting them while exhausted, we should conserve our strength so we have the resources to fight them!"
After several people persuaded him, Rainbow Cat decided to rest for one night, since his body had indeed reached its limit and he could no longer use any internal energy.
Continuing to travel in this condition would make it impossible to sustain combat; it would only be a burden to everyone.
After drinking the thousand-year-old ginseng soup, Rainbow Cat felt a warm current flowing through his body. The paleness caused by his injuries and excessive blood loss was replaced by a rosy glow, but this rosy glow had a superficial feel to it.
Rainbow Cat has a strong self-healing ability, but it has never had a chance to fully recover. After drinking the ginseng soup, Rainbow Cat relaxed and quickly fell asleep.
