The Genius System Without Equal

Chapter 760: Healing with Technique

“Hey, what is your name?” the girl asked.

The young girl was suddenly interested in Xiao Luo. She looked at him with a pair of bright, clear apricot eyes.

“Xiao Luo,” Xiao Luo said, not hiding his identity.

“Xiao Luo?”

She tilted her head and thought for a bit. With a cheeky smile on her face, she said, “Then this girl shall call you Lil’ Luoluo.”

Lil’ Luoluo?

Xiao Luo almost fainted—what kind of nickname was that?

Xiao Luo was a little curious about who she was. A young girl turning up in a dark part of the forest with a weird outfit was not normal, no matter how one looked at it.

Xiao Luo asked, “What about you? Who are you?”

“My name is Ghost. As for my identity, I think it might be better if you do not know. Otherwise, I might scare you to death,” giggled the girl.

Scare me to death?

Was she someone’s treasure in this piece of land, or did she belong to some unknown major force?

Xiao Luo furrowed his brows but did not press the matter further. He looked around at the forest and said, “I bet there are many weird creatures in this forest. What is a young girl like you doing all alone by herself in a place like this?”

“Lil’ Luoluo, you ask too many questions,” the girl replied.

Ghost picked up another rare fruit and ate it before she replied to Xiao Luo’s question. “But I suppose it is alright to let you know. This area belongs to this girl’s clan. It’s like my house. What’s weird about wandering around my house?”

She looked innocent, especially when she was eating her fruit. Her little cheeks puffed up as she ate, and she looked rather cute.

Xiao Luo pondered after hearing what she said. It seemed the dark forest belonged to some clan, and the girl called Ghost was a member of that clan.

“Stop asking random questions. Have some fruit and regain some of your energy,” said Ghost. She threw a fruit that looked like a green apple over to Xiao Luo.

Xiao Luo was a little hungry. He was sure Ghost had washed those fruits, seeing how she ate them without worry. It tasted like an apple and it was crunchy. It was probably an ordinary apple.

Duck Emperor’s ability to recover was incredible. As soon as he detected the scent of the apple, he stirred and woke up from his coma.

After opening his eyes, the first thing he muttered was, “Who am I? Where… where am I?”

Xiao Luo stared at him with hostility and said, “You’re a stinking duck!”

Ghost opened her eyes wide. She was shocked when she heard Duck Emperor speak. She asked, “A beast demon?” But she soon realized something did not feel right. “No, a beast demon’s aura should not be this faint. It should still have a fearsome aura, even if severely injured.” She looked at Xiao Luo and asked, “Did your pet consume some pill to awaken some ability?”

Xiao Luo did not wish to explain further. He nodded his head and grunted, “Mm”.

“No wonder,” Ghost said.

Ghost was put at ease and it all made sense to her. There was no way a beast demon could be the pet of a martial artist.

“Hey, goddamn little brat, who is this little fairy? She is so pretty!”

The Duck Emperor looked at Ghost. Even though he felt exhausted, he acted like a gentleman. He stood up and gave her a proper greeting. “Nice to meet you, beautiful little fairy. I am Duck Emperor. I’d appreciate your kind guidance.”

“Hahaha…”

Duck Emperor’s actions amused Ghost. She began laughing and said, “This girl here is not a little fairy. In your eyes, this girl should be a demon.”

“Demon?”

Duck Emperor was taken aback. He picked up a fruit and gave it a bite, attempting to flirt with Ghost like a veteran, then said, “Then you would be a cute demon. Look, you look so pretty when you smile. You have two canine teeth as well.”

The minute he mentioned her canine teeth, the look on Ghost’s face suddenly changed. She ignored Duck Emperor, then turned around to Xiao Luo and said, “Lil’ Luoluo, it’s dangerous for you guys to stay here. Let this girl here show you the way out.”

“Thanks. But I have to heal using my technique. It would take at least one to two days before I can leave.”

Xiao Luo declined her offer. He knew he was not in the best condition, and his powers were probably at the level of a martial artist in the Arcana Land at present. Regardless of where he was, Xiao Luo only trusted his own abilities. Besides, Ghost probably had a powerful clan backing her, and he did not wish to offend them. Otherwise, there would be much trouble that might befall him.

“It won’t be too late for you to heal after leaving this forest.”

Ghost added, “There are not only many man-eating beasts in here, but there are also several of my brothers as well. If they find you, they’d be worse than those man-eating beasts. If you encounter them, you’re going to die for sure.”

“Little fairy, you look so pretty and you appear to be a reasonable person. I am sure your brothers are like you as well. When that happens, this duck here will talk to them all about the art of living well. I am sure they will do nothing to us,” said Duck Emperor casually while eating the fruits.

Ghost sighed and replied, “You guys are from a foreign land. You do not understand our clan. If my brothers find you guys, there is no way you guys will survive.”

Xiao Luo noticed she was furrowing her brows and realized that things could get pretty serious.

He only wished to head toward the Holy Land of the Light Clan with no problems. So, he was not interested in getting tangled up with Ghost’s clan at all. Also, before he fell from the sky, he noticed that the dark forest was vast. It was like a green ocean with no end in sight. He just wanted to find a quiet place to heal for at least two days. The chances of something unpleasant happening to him here were slim.

“I’ve already decided. Thank you for your concern.”

Xiao Luo declined again. Then he crossed his legs and used his Yi Jinjing technique to begin his healing process. His injuries were severe, but Xiao Luo belonged to the Xiao clan. With his bloodline and the healing technique, he could already feel his body getting better.

Ghost looked at him sternly for a while and then scowled, “Alright, since you will not listen to my advice, you better not regret it later!”

After saying that, Ghost turned around and walked away, disappearing into the thick forest. She was annoyed with Xiao Luo for being so stubborn and was leaving them to fend for themselves.

“Goddamn little brat, look at you! You do not even know how to talk to a girl. You deserve to stay single for the rest of your life. Oh, no, you are not single. You have a wife. You do not deserve to have an affair with a beautiful woman then,” Duck Emperor said.

“Do not annoy me. I am healing,” Xiao Luo warned, closing his eyes.

The duck muttered to himself, “Huh, little brat. One day when this duck here becomes stronger than you, I shall show you my true colors!”

When the Duck Emperor saw all the fruits on the ground, he sniggered. “Hehe… They are all mine.”

Without holding back, he gobbled up the fruits, and in just a while, his stomach was bloated. He rubbed his tummy and rested on the ground.

“So good, this is the duck life!”

When Duck Emperor thought about his life in the Dimension of Chaos over the last five hundred years, he felt like he had been wasting his time there. Compared to where he was now, the difference was like heaven and hell. He burped and hummed some tunes of songs.
