Chapter 330: Possible Dangers
Lu Wenshu thought that Bai Luochu would leave in a fit of anger . He never expected her to propose the idea of discussing the possible dangers on the journey . He was overjoyed and immediately agreed, “Divine Physician Bai is right, the Desolate Region is filled with dangers and we should plan for any contingencies . ”
Pei Rumo was rather surprised that Bai Luochu didn’t fall out on the spot . After thinking about it, he realized that she was a concoction manic and it was impossible for her not to be tempted by the Field Pearl Flower .
“We still know nothing about the situation inside the Desolate Region . Let’s talk about the journey first . The borders of the Desolate Region have little to no human presence . We might not be able to find a place to rest and we might need to set up camp . This shouldn’t be a problem as we have an army with us . ” Bai Luochu disregarded the schemes and started to break down the situation .
When she brought up Pei Rumo’s army, he hurriedly added, “Divine Physician Bai doesn’t have to worry . We can rely on them . The soldiers and officers can provide any assistance you need . ”
After receiving Pei Rumo’s guarantee, Bai Luochu nodded and relaxed, “Accomodation is only one of the problems we will face . After all, we are going on a campaign and rations are a huge problem . We can’t fight a war on an empty stomach . Other than rations, we might meet aggressive spirit beasts during the journey . ”
“What should we do about it?” Pei Rumo heard this feedback and immediately asked . He felt that spirit beasts wouldn’t be a problem as Bai Luochu subdued a Green Flame Eagle in the past . Moreover, the chief disciple of his sect, Lu Wenshu, was present as well . Spirit beasts shouldn’t be a problem for both of them… However, he seemed to have forgotten about his officers and soldiers . . .
Bai Luochu stayed silent . Instead, Lu Wenshu glanced at Bai Luochu before giving his suggestion, “I heard that there is a prescription of herbs that can repel spirit beasts . If everyone carries a bag, spirit beasts wouldn’t approach the army . If any of them dares to approach, we should have no problem killing them off with our huge army . ”
Bai Luochu glanced at Lu Wenshu and cursed silently . Damn this man… Why is he always making use of others? Even though I am no longer the evil dao witch of the past, he is still involving me in his schemes . Why didn’t I notice this in my previous life?!
After listening to Lu Wenshu, Pei Rumo looked at Bai Luochu expectantly . His scorching gaze seemed to be burning a hole through her and she felt that she didn’t have a choice . “Your First Highness doesn’t have to worry . I will give you the list of herbs and you can instruct your men to purchase them . ”

Pei Rumo finally calmed down . After all, all his officers and soldiers had gone through many battles with him and he couldn’t possibly watch them throw their lives away . If that were to happen, his losses would outweigh his gains . These warriors were also the reason he could retain his might in the imperial court .
Bai Luochu contemplated for a moment and felt that there was nothing else of concern . Just as she was about to leave, Lu Wenshu interrupted her .
“The Desolate Region isn’t inhabited by humans and has ample spirit qi . The spirit beasts there should be rather formidable and some might already possess vitality essence . If we really encounter those spirit beasts, Divine Physician Bai should kill some of them to extract their vitality essence . ”
Bai Luochu snorted and spoke with disdain, “That isn’t necessary . We’ll kill those that dare to provoke us . If the spirit beasts have no intention of harming us, there is no need to chase them down . After all, spirit beasts are born and nurtured by mother nature . If we kill them for the sake of harvesting their vitality essence, we will be going against the laws of nature . ”
Lu Wenshu felt rather embarrassed by Bai Luochu’s statement and laughed apologetically . Pei Rumo noticed the awkward atmosphere between the two of them and said something to alleviate the atmosphere, “The two of you are very thorough in your considerations . I hope that both of you will take care of me during the journey . ”

“Nonsense . ” Bai Luochu spoke indifferently . The room fell into silence but Bai Luochu seemed to be oblivious to the awkward atmosphere and she started to study the map .
After a long time, Bai Luochu pointed at a spot on the map and said, “If I’m right, landslides occur frequently here . We should be more careful . ”
Pei Rumo and Lu Wenshu didn’t really mind as they felt that landslides rarely happened . The chance it would happen when they were traveling through the Desolate Region was slim to none .
Bai Luochu studied the map for a long time and realized there were no other locations that required attention . Hence, she made a summary, “That’s all . As long as we make preparations in advance, those dangers can be eliminated . The real trouble comes when we enter the Desolate Region . After all, there are no rules there and there might be factions more complicated than we can ever imagine . ”

“The campaign to the Desolate Region is a last minute decision by Emperor Father . Will there be anyone else there to cause trouble for us?” Pei Rumo felt that Bai Luochu was a little too cautious when dealing with the matter .
“What makes you think that others can’t obtain information about the Field Pearl Flower as well?” Bai Luochu looked at Pei Rumo as though she was looking at a fool .
Pei Rumo looked at Lu Wenshu and realized the latter was nodded solemnly .
Even though Bai Luochu thought that Lu Wenshu was using the chance to get close to her, she felt that a selfish person like him wouldn’t head to the Desolate Region if he wasn’t able to obtain some benefits .
If she wasn’t wrong, Lu Wenshu should have received an order from his sect . Since they weren’t able to gain anything out of the Battle of Thousand Brilliance, their next goal might be the Desolate Region .
