Chapter Ten: The Illness of Shi Tai the Exterminator

  "The demonic cult's evil spawn, everyone is duty-bound to slay it!"

  Mie Xing glared fiercely at Dongfang Bubai, swallowed the blood in his mouth, gripped the Yitian Sword tightly, and prepared to fight again.

  The group of female disciples behind her also rushed into the gate, drew out their long swords from their waists, with a desperate look on their faces.

  But even if they have a lot of people, how can they be the opponent of Dongfang Bubai?

  Just as this conflict was about to escalate into a tragic massacre, Chen Xiao suddenly shouted from behind: "Spare their lives!"

  Supported by Yilin, he limped forward and first greeted Dongfang: "Don't worry, Miss Dongfang, I need to ask a few questions first."

  Dongfang Yujian stood out inexplicably at this time, and he was also very curious. Anyway, with his peerless martial arts skills, it wouldn't be difficult for him to kill them if needed, so he might as well listen to what Chen Xiao had to say first.

  Chen Xiao chose to stop Dongfang Bubai at this time because just now, when Miexi Shitai was defeated, he suddenly received another task from the system, asking him to try to save Miexi Shitai. The task reward is five points of Jianghu prestige and one year's worth of cultivation.

  Since there is this task, it's natural to try it out. Chen Xiao thought about it carefully just now and felt that this thing isn't too difficult, the problem isn't big, so he immediately called a halt.

  It's fortunate that Chen Xiao had analyzed the Huāhuā Bǎodiǎn earlier and obtained twenty points of good favorability from Dongfang Bubai, making him relatively easier to talk to.

  Otherwise, if it were an ordinary person who dared to stop Dongfang Bubai from killing someone, that would be purely courting death.

  Chen Xiao limped to the front of Mie Jue Shi Tai, first clasping his fists and bowing, then smiled: "Shi Tai is a heroine among women, not allowing men to take precedence. I, Chen Xiao, deeply admire you, please accept my respects."

  Mie Jue Shitai didn't give way either, her eyes fixed intently on Dongfang Bubai to prevent her from suddenly making a move. She said calmly: "I don't dare accept that, my martial arts aren't high enough to get rid of this female demon head. What female hero, let's not mention it."

  Chen Xiao didn't mind and continued to ask, "Has Shifu been feeling irritable and short-tempered in recent years? Do you often wake up at midnight with sweat, feel anxious, especially when your emotions are unstable, prone to anger, easily agitated, and tense? Is it difficult for you to focus, and has your memory declined, along with being overly sensitive?" Chen Xiao had already made some guesses about Shifu's irritable temper earlier. Now that she had just been defeated by Dongfang Bubai, her mind was unstable, making this the perfect time to ask.

  As soon as Chen Xiao finished speaking, the color of Mie Jue Shang Tai's face changed greatly. Originally she was about to speak, but unexpectedly her complexion turned pale and then cold again, disdainfully saying: "Deceptive words that mislead the masses." After that, she no longer paid attention to Chen Xiao.

  At this time, Zhou Zhiruo was quite familiar with Mie Jue's temper and knew that she was a stubborn and proud person who would not admit her mistakes. She quickly came over to mediate, saying in a low voice: "Mr. Chen, if you have any opinions, please speak up and let my master consider them. But don't talk nonsense, or my master won't forgive you."

  After speaking with Chen Xiao, Zhou Zhiruo turned to Mie Jue Shitai and said softly: "Master, why not listen to what Master Chen has to say first?"

  The Extinction Master actually wanted to listen a long time ago, but asking for advice from a junior was naturally beneath her dignity.

  At this time, hearing Zhou Zhiruo give her such a big step down, she didn't know to hurry up and come down. She thought to herself that indeed Zhiruo was the one who understood her heart. Then she said: "Hmph, nonsense, I'll give you an opportunity, listen to what you have to say."

  Saying that, he glared at Chen Xiao again and said: "If you speak nonsense and deceive the public, I'll pluck out your tongue!"

  The words of Mie Jue were not pleasant to hear, and Dongfang Bubai was also very unhappy. However, regarding Chen Xiao's incredible medical skills, Dongfang Bubai was even more curious, this time she really didn't want to make a move again, and treated Mie Jue's words as if she hadn't heard them, instead only wanting to hear how the mysterious young man Chen Xiao would explain.

  "Since the first sentence has already set the tone, Chen Xiao didn't stand on ceremony this time. He stepped forward, bowed slightly and made a gesture of invitation, smiling: 'Please, Master, come this way and let me tell you in detail.'"

  At this moment, Duanmu Xi lightly grasped the sleeve of Mie Jue and, like a eunuch attending to an elderly Buddha, respectfully supported Mie Jue Shitai as she sat down at a relatively intact table. After carefully taking her pulse, he smiled and said: "It's just as I thought. Ah, senior..."

  "Mieyue said faintly: 'Senior, don't be so polite, just call me Shifu.'"

  Chen Xiao felt a chill in his heart, and at this moment, if a monk came and shouted "Let go of the master and let me come", it would be truly irredeemable... He carefully wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead, and Chen Xiao slowly opened his mouth to say: "Master," another wave of chills, but Chen Xiao continued: "Your martial arts, you should have cultivated the Nine Yang Skill, right? The swordsmanship is nothing special, mostly just techniques."

  "So the problem lies in this Nine Yang Skill."

  "These Nine Yang, as the name suggests, are the most masculine and powerful martial arts. If a man practices it, there's nothing to worry about, except that his internal strength will become very strong, and he'll probably end up like a robust... Ah, with similar effects. But if a woman practices it, hidden dangers will arise."

  Haven't seen the Nine Yang Divine Skill's secret manual, don't know the cultivation method, but hearing this name, it should be about the same. Chen Xiao continued to bluff: "If a woman cultivates, it will lead to an excess of yang energy, which will have some impact on her natural disposition. It just so happens that Shifu is currently in... well, using our medical terminology, it's called menopausal syndrome, simply put, it's a symptom that most women at Shifu's age will experience."

  Seeing the nun's face changing color, her eyes a bit urgent, Chen Xiao hurriedly continued to explain: "Nun, don't worry, this premenstrual syndrome is basically something every woman has, it's not a big deal, no need to be too worried."

  Can tech nerds save the world?!!

  How dare you talk to Extinction Master like that? Who in the whole world would dare to be so arrogant?

  Brother is a proud tech geek!

  In fact, this Extinction Sect's leader is just a middle-aged woman going through menopause, and on top of that, she originally practiced an incomplete version of the Nine Suns Technique, resulting in an excess of yang energy, which naturally led to her erratic and violent personality.

  At this time, Dongfang Bubai stood behind Chen Xiao and asked: "So according to Mr. Chen's meaning, I will also get this what menopause syndrome in the future? Is there a solution?"

  Yi Lin on the side also listened and nodded vigorously, her small hands gently grasping Chen Xiao's sleeve, waiting for him to come up with a solution.
