Chapter 149: Medicine Delivered!
Waiting at the base of the hill that the mansion Elder Demon Devourer had entered, Qing Yi and Chu Yang expected a fight to break out between Elder Demon Devourer and the original owner of the mansion.
Expectations were often different from reality as Elder Demon Devourer soon came out of the house while carrying someone along with him that was most likely the Elder Song who forgot to deliver the medicine.
“Can you at least let me down now!?”
Elder Song noticed both Qing Yi and Chu Yang looking at him with a curious look in their eyes the moment he reached the bottom of the small hill.
Seeing this, Elder Song immediately felt a wave of embarrassment wash over him as he struggled for a short moment before breaking free from Elder Demon Devourer and standing up by himself.
Shu Yao was a Nascent Soul Realm Expert who did not really seem to care much about him being kidnapped, while Elder Demon Devourer was a friend of his that he had known for years. Both of them would most likely not talk to others about his current situation… Qing Yi and Chu Yang on the other hand…
Elder Song was almost certain they would share the unique sight of an elder being carried around with their friends! And when that happened, the other elders would likely find out as well!
Elder Song was indeed right on one thing, it was the first time Qing Yi and Chu Yang had seen one of the elders being carried around like a sack of rice by another elder. The sight was, indeed, rather unique…
“Ehm, so who are these two friends…? Are they perhaps the ones who informed you about the medicine?” Trying to get them to focus on something other than what they had just seen, Elder Song tried to ask Elder Demon Devourer with an almost begging look on his face. Hoping that his friend would help him out.
“Yes, they were sent by the little missy because someone forgot to deliver her medicine on time! We should get going, you have the medicine on you right?” Rolling his eyes upon seeing the pleading look on Elder Song’s face, Elder Demon Devourer decided not to embarrass him too much in front of the younger generation.
“Of course, I have it right here! Why don’t we let these two deliver the medicine? I still have a few things to attend to.”
“Fine, they were the ones asked by the little missy to get the medicine a certain irresponsible grandpa forgot~” Not seeing any reason to refuse what Elder Song said, Elder Demon Devourer agreed. Not forgetting to berate him along the way.
“Here, this is the medicine. Now on your way young ones!” Handing over a small square wooden box inlaid with a small phoenix on the top, Elder Song adopted the image of a proper elder for once as he instructed both of them.
“Yes!” Qing Yi and Chu Yang did not really get to say anything before they were on their way back to the house where the sick young girl was.
“So, who do you think this Elder Song is? I heard about someone named Elder Song from Zeng Shihan, but that Elder Song was supposed to be the role model of most if not all disciples in the Flying Sword Sect… This Elder Song seem a bit lacking compared to what I heard…” Walking along the road out of the centre area of the Flying Sword Sect, Qing Yi could not help but ask as she remembered how much Zeng Shihan had praised Elder Song the last time they met and talked about what was happening inside the sect.
“Perhaps it was another Elder Song? It’s not like there can only be one Elder Song, this one might just be an Outer Elder with the same name…” Not really finding it odd, Chu Yang shrugged his shoulders as he answered.
“Hm… Maybe that is so, I guess there are more than one Elder Song in the Flying Sword Sect. One impressive and one… A bit more unique.” Not knowing how to describe the Elder Song that they had met, Qing Yi just decided to label him as one of the more unique elders in the Flying Sword Sect.
At the very least, she would have to tell Zeng Shihan about this unique Elder Song she had managed to meet. Maybe both of them were even related to each other?
…
As both Qing Yi and Chu Yang began to get along rather well with each other while talking about Elder Song and Elder Demon Devourer that they had met earlier, both of them soon came to a stop in front of the sick young girl’s house.
Even if it felt like they had been gone for a long time, by now it had only taken a little over one hour to get the medicine.
Knock Knock
Walking up to the front of the door, Qing Yi knocked gently on it two times before stepping back to wait.
“Ah, h-hello again! Did you manage to get my medicine!?” The sound of movement was soon heard from beyond the door as the young girl soon came out and greeted them, this time she seemed to have gotten even worse than before and Qing Yi quickly handed the small wooden box given to her by the unique Elder Song over to the young girl.
“This is the medicine that your grandpa Song asked us to deliver.”
“Ah! It really is, it even has the little fire birdy on it! Here this is for you!” Smiling happily upon getting the box, the young girl took out a small piece of paper with the drawing of what looked like a drawing of a big cat and a few words next to it.
“This is?” Not knowing what the paper with a drawing and a few words on it was for, Qing Yi looked back at the young girl with a confused expression.
“It’s about the shadow cat demon beast! The statue is a biiiig shadow cat that grandpa Song fought with in the past!” Saying this, the young girl tried her best to emphasise how big the shadow cat was with her arms waving all over the place.
“But I need to get my medicine fast or else I will start to feel reeeeeaaaally bad soon! Bye-bye for now big sis” After finishing, the young girl waved goodbye to Qing Yi before going back into the house to take her medicine.
“What about me…” Standing a few meters away from the entrance to the house, Chu Yang could not help but feel a little left out as the young girl did not even seem to notice him at all.
CREATORS’ THOUGHTS
PurpleSpring
Wanted to end the medicine delivering quest of Qing Yi and Chu Yang. Personally thought it was fun writing, but didn’t want to drag it on for too long. Do you think small interludes like these are okay if their length are around the 2-4 chapters like this one?
