The Nine Skies Swordsman

Episode 37's. I'm Mouhuli, Queen of Thieves

The night had passed, and the 24th day had arrived. Gofan awoke from his sleep and found Xionan still lying on his back.

can you sleep this late?-

Gofan was a little surprised to see Xionan who was really still asleep, until he was unaware of the existence of Gofan who had now been awakened from his side.

Gofan went and began to wash himself before preparing two wooden buckets to draw water, filling the water barrel behind the hut.

Gofan went down the hill for several hundred times before stopping when the water barrel was already fully filled. Thanks to the mastery of the lightning pace that is growing, Gofan can complete the task of drawing water long before noon arrives.

As usual Gofan will rest for a while before returning to continue his activities, namely the physical exercises that his father had taught, moving the stone down the hill, and cutting down trees for firewood.

At that break, Gofan cooked a soup of energy nutrients with the addition of rabbit meat, he also made some food from fish that he managed to catch while drawing water in the lake. Not forgetting, Gofan read the books he had while waiting for his cooking to cook.

After filling his stomach, Gofan did 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, and ran around the hill for a hundred rounds. Gofan has now been routinely doing his father's physical training, and he has succeeded, thanks to his inner strength, in overcoming the fatigue of his father's physical training.

After doing his father's physical training, Gofan went back into the hut and picked up a piece of paper on a small cupboard inside the hut, then he wrote something down on the paper.

- Still sleeping? Is Xionan so tired that he hasn't woken up yet?-

Gofan shook his head, when he found Xionan still sleeping in the same position as before. After writing, Gofan exited the hut and went outside the courtyard to move a large piece of rock down the hill.

Until the 24th day, Gofan had moved 22 pieces of stone and lined it neatly on the edge of the lake. So neat, the rows of stones look like a line of walls of a fortress.

-But also, I've been trying to place it regularly, it's become wall-like

After tidying up the chunks of stone he had just brought down the hill, Gofan returned to the outer courtyard of the hut and began his lesson in mastery of the thousand-clawed shadow, he cut down a few more tree trunks with that stance.

- This is very good, it turns out that the strengthening of my skeletal muscles makes my attack speed increase

Gofan found out that the speed of his attack was increasing after the previous night Gofan strengthened 60 strands of skeletal muscle with the help of waja wesi fruit energy.

Skeletal muscles that have been strengthened turned out not only to increase his immunity but also make his body movements more agile.

- But why has my lightning speed not changed? is it because the skeletal muscles in my legs haven't been strengthened yet?, it looks like I have to strengthen 200 strands of my skeletal muscles first to maximize all of my body movements

Gofan thought when he realized only strands of skeletal muscle at the top of his body that he had just strengthened.

It was still daytime when Gofan completed all his routine tasks, he then took advantage of the time available to travel around the island looking for medicinal herbs.

Gofan went in search of medicinal herbs, not only to make energy-nutrient soup but also to make the antidote to the five Yubing poisons.

- This island is really a lucky meeting place, there are so many herbs growing on this island, did the ancestors accidentally plant them here?-

While circling the island, Gofan easily found medicinal herbs on the island.

Even Gofan found a field of herbs, a plot of land overgrown with various types of medicinal herbs, like there was someone who deliberately planted them on the island, he said, Gofan thought Mouhuli was the one who planted the herbs.

- Red Elephant Jahe, Deer Horn Grass, Doll Fruit, and Green Lempeni Fruit, still lacking the Two Color Lotus root and Long Tail Bee honey, but here there is no-

Gofan had already collected almost all of the medicinal herbs needed to make the antidote for the five poisons.

Gofan only lacked two more types of medicinal herbs before starting to concoct them into a poison antidote.

still another six days before I could meet the ancestor, I don't know if he would allow me to go out and look for these two herbs

Gofan thought about how to get two other herbs, namely honey from Long-Tailed Bees and Two-Color Lotus root.

Honey from Long-Tailed Bees, is easily found in their habitat at the Thousand Flowers Mountain, but to find the Two-Colored Lotus is a thing that will probably take some time to look for it, the plant is very rare.

- If only the two medicinal herbs were here, I would have already been able to start concocting the medicine

Gofan sat under a tree as he thought of a way, how to quickly find the two herbs.

"Fanfan... You're here? I've been looking everywhere for you !"

Suddenly Xionan appeared hovering in front of Gofan who was leaning on the tree trunk.

"Oh, are you awake? Why lookout for me?"

Gofan asked as he got up and stuffed the newly acquired herbs into the space bag.

"Yes... It's daritadi, Come back first, there's something I want to show you !"

Xionan floated past Gofan, flying towards the hut.

"But, eliminate your tracks with your mental energy, hurry !!"

Imbuh Xionan, told Gofan who followed him from behind to remove traces of his existence.

With mental energy, Gofan could do just that, making himself seem to vanish and could not be perceived even by using perception though.

"Why? Is there a problem?"

Gofan had already done what Xionan had told him to do, he enveloped his entire body with the power of demonic eyes, a streak of green light enveloping Gofan's entire body, making his existence unknowable.

"Haihihah... Wasn't... You'll know for yourself, ssttt... Silence !"

Xionan and Gofan sneaked back towards the hut.

A few breaths later, Gofan who was creeping after Xionan, saw Mouhuli who was busy eating energy nutrition soup and the fish he cooked.

- Ancestor!?, he stole my food?-

Xionan nodded at Gofan's words, which Gofan conveyed through his mind.

- No matter how long it was, the food I cooked always suddenly reduced by itself, I thought the pots were leaking

Gofan repeatedly changed the pot he used to make food, he even coated the pots with energy in order to keep the contents intact, but all the effort was free, he said, because it turns out that Mouhuli stole the food.

Xionan spoke to Gofan through his mind. He laughed at the actions of Mouhuli who stole Gofan's cooking.

well, thank you, if it wasn't for you here, I wouldn't know this, he'd have stolen my food from my first day here

Gofan replies to Xionan that this is not the first time that Mouhuli has stolen his food.

- Hihihi, thief base, mm... What are you going to do now?-

I'll pretend to accidentally find him stealing, I have a plan to take advantage of this situation to get something out of him

While talking about his plan Gofan and Xionan stared at Mouhuli from their hiding place, watching the Wolf Demon Queen continuously eating the energy nutrient soup.

Gofan then settles closer towards the kitchen, where Mouhuli is eating. After a short distance, Gofan retracted the power of the devil's eyes, and revealed his existence.

"Our ancestor... !? You... !?"

Gofan put on a surprised expression, after a trace of himself was discovered by Mouhuli's perception. Gofan acted as if he had accidentally discovered Mouhuli was stealing her food.

*Spruutt*

Mouhuli spouted out some of the soup she had just eaten out of shock at Gofan's words.

- Sial... When did he arrive? Why don't I feel her coming.?-.

Mouhuli thought in surprise, finding Gofan's sudden appearance.

"Hahaha, you're home? I just wanted to get to you, because you didn't return long ago I tasted a little of your cooking, Hahaha, delicious... It's delicious, you're talented at cooking"

Mouhuli stopped eating, she cleaned her mouth, and stood up.

Mouhuli gave an excuse as to why she was there and ate Gofan's soup, praising Gofan as well, so that Gofan would not be angry.

- Little what... See these? The pot is almost empty, you old demon!-

Xionan looked at the soup pot and found that it was almost empty, he also saw the fish that Gofan had cooked, only a small part of which remained.

"Thank you for the compliment Ancestor, but forgive me if I'm presumptuous... Was it all this time, the ancestors also ate my homemade soup? Because I was always confused, found my homemade soup always reduced a lot"

Gofan did not directly accuse Mouhuli of stealing even though he had already seen directly with his own eyes. Gofan did not want Mouhuli to get angry and instead attacked her.

"What-what do you mean!? This is the first time I tried your cooking, what do you think I am?... I'm Mouhuli, the Wolf Demon Queen, where might I do that"

Mouhuli slightly stammered Gofan's question with her lie.

- Hihihi, I am Mouhuli, Queen of Thieves, that is true !! Hihi

Xionan let out a laugh as he floated right next to Mouhuli. He followed Mouhuli's accent and gestures while lying, he made fun of the lies Mouhuli made.

"Emmm..."

Gofan held back his laughter, seeing what Xionan was doing. He saw how Xionan was making fun of Mouhuli, but Mouhuli was completely unaware of it.

"Emmm... Sorry if I misjudged. Next time it seems like I have to make one serving, just enough for me to eat myself, it looks like the pans are leaking"

Gofan deliberately said that, he wanted to know what Mouhuli would say when Gofan only wanted to make one serving of food every day.

"Why? Too bad, your cooking is delicious. How about you make more and I'll visit every day to eat with you?"

Mouhuli still wanted to taste Gofan's soup, she was already infatuated with the energy nutrition soup.

- Because of You!-

"But the ancestors, in fact I have an obstacle, I will make a soup of energy nutrition every day for the ancestors, but will the ancestors grant one of my requests ?"

Gofan made a bargain, he took advantage of the situation to get a chance to find the antidote to the five Yubing poisons.

"Say"

Mouhuli did not need time to think about what Gofan wanted to ask for, she immediately agreed to the bargain Gofan made.

"I need the honey from the Long-Tailed Bee and the root of the Two-Color Lotus, if the ancestors gave me time to get out, I want to look for those two medicinal herbs, just six days... No, no, just five days"

Pinta Gofan to Mouhuli, who now looks like he thought of something after hearing what Gofan said.

"No need! You're here, just practice"

After looking like he was thinking of something, Mouhuli suddenly refused Gofan's request.

"But Le..."

"I can give you two herbs"

Imbuh Mouhuli cuts Gofan's word.

"Really Ancestors? You have those two herbs?"

Gofan was happy to know that Mouhuli had two herbs that he could not find in the herbal fields on the island.

"It's not me, I know who has it, for a second, I'll call him"

Mouhuli then carried out hand and mouth seals as if she were softly reciting a few stanzas of ancient songs.

-Mantra? She can do magic?-

Xionan was a little surprised to see Mouhuli perform hand seals and chant ancient chants similar to the spells often used by witches.

Seriate...
