Chapter 36 Snakes Don’t Cry
What made Xie Shiyuan most uncomfortable was that her tears would feel like a burning sensation when they fell on his scales. This feeling spread along his snake tail all the way to his heart, making him feel very uncomfortable.
He didn't know how to vent his discomfort, so he could only follow his instinct and lift his tail to roll Qin Shu in front of him.
Qin Shu was crying hard, and was suddenly lifted up in the air. Her heart skipped a beat, and when she raised her head, she met a pair of vertical pupils.
The perfect facial features were so close, and her reflection was in his narrow eyes. She almost forgot to breathe.
He raised his big hand with a distinct ulna and gently touched her cheek.
The coldness of his fingertips made her shudder, and Qin Shu leaned back reflexively, with her lower back leaning on his tail.
Then he heard his cold voice in the cave, "Is this tears?"
Qin Shu's eyes were filled with tears, her throat was a little tight, and she opened her mouth but couldn't speak.
Xie Shiyuan narrowed his eyes, as if he was thinking about something. After a long time... he slowly spoke, "Snakes don't cry."
Qin Shu couldn't understand his expression at this time, but he looked at her straight, as if waiting for her answer.
She pulled the corners of her mouth, and somehow her mind suddenly twitched, and said to him: "Then you are really cool."
Xie Shiyuan frowned, obviously unable to keep up with her train of thought, "What?"
Qin Shu was stunned, coughed lightly, and forced to explain: "I just want to praise you for being awesome."
Xie Shiyuan's brows relaxed, his chin slightly raised, and sneered, "You are so sweet, kid."
Qin Shu had been quietly observing his expression. Xie Shiyuan's cultivation level was so high, and his five senses had long surpassed ordinary people. How could he not notice it?
He snorted coldly, and then said: "It's useless to talk sweetly, you still have to heal your wounds."
Qin Shu: "..."
After his tossing, Qin Shu could no longer remember the grievances in her heart. Seeing that Xie Shiyuan did not hurt her, she was a little bolder.
"Ten low-grade spirit stones for one healing!" It doesn't matter if the price is low, it will last for a long time.
Xie Shiyuan raised his eyebrows, and before he spoke, Qin Shu hurriedly spoke first: "My cultivation is low, and I absorb spiritual energy very slowly. Every time I heal you, it takes me a long time to recover. It's absolutely a conscience price to ask you for ten low-grade spirit stones."
Xie Shiyuan looked at the child in front of him. If he turned into his original form, a piece of his tail could crush her to death.
She was obviously very scared, but she forced herself to be brave enough to bargain with him.
He was a little funny. In the long years he had experienced, he was always accompanied by blood and death. Maybe it was because the child was too weak, and he didn't have the idea of killing her.
Forget it, just keep this little guy around to amuse yourself.
Qin Shu looked at him and nodded slowly, and the black hair on her shoulders also scattered on her chest with his movements, "Yeah."
He agreed!
Qin Shu showed a happy face, supported her hands on his tail, twisted twice, and broke free from the circle formed by his tail.
Xie Shiyuan did not stop her, she just sat on his tail and slid down, the rubbing of the fabric felt very strange, like tickling.
Qin Shu climbed up from the stone bed, clasped her fists to Xie Shiyuan, and said: "Since you agreed, you can't regret it! I will treat you now! I have treated you so many times before, you should remember it, don't deny it."
She looked at Xie Shiyuan's tail, her eyes shining, and rubbed her hands excitedly, as if she saw a pile of spiritual stones.
She put her little hand on Xie Shiyuan's cold scales, and only after comparing them did she find that each of his scales was bigger than her hand.
She secretly smacked her lips and said she couldn't afford to offend him.
Under the pressure of the snake, she sighed, closed her eyes, and began to mobilize the spiritual energy in her dantian, combing Xie Shiyuan's tail bit by bit.
Recently, she seemed to be about to break through the third level of Qi training, and it was easier to control the spiritual energy.
She could even feel the condition of the snake's body through the spiritual energy. His wound was very bad. Some black things were attached to the bright red flesh, making his wound always emit a disgusting smell of rotten meat.
Her palms emitted a bright green light, and the green wood spiritual energy penetrated through the gaps in the scales, wrapping the black spot closest to the surface, eroding it bit by bit.
Qin Shu was sweating profusely after absorbing just this little black spot.
She retracted her hand and sat on the bed, panting.
Xie Shiyuan felt the changes in the toxins in his body, and the tip of his tail slapped happily.
Originally, he would have to rest for at least a hundred years after suffering such a serious injury. However, he did not expect that although this child's cultivation was not high, his spiritual energy was somewhat strange.
The wounds she combed, in addition to the toxins being cleaned up a little, even the rules that bound him in the wounds after the thunder tribulation were loosened a lot.
Seeing Qin Shu's exhausted appearance, he thought about it, took out an inner pill from his body space and threw it to her.
Qin Shu was lying on the stone bed, struggling whether to take a spiritual pill.
Suddenly, a fiery red inner pill appeared in front of her. She was stunned at first, and suddenly thought of something, and immediately looked up at the big snake in disbelief.
Her mouth opened wide, her eyes full of shock, "Big snake! You! Your inner pill?!"
Xie Shiyuan was also stunned for a moment after hearing this, and finally sneered, saying disdainfully: "You little kid, you are so ungrateful. At such a young age, you dare to think about my inner pill? Aren't you afraid of exploding and dying?"
Qin Shu touched her nose embarrassedly after hearing this, knowing that she must have misunderstood.
She reached out and picked up the inner pill he had casually thrown on the stone bed, and there was a strong fire spirit in her hand.
Qin Shu curiously picked it up and looked at it, and even tried to absorb the spirit in it.
But she was interrupted by Xie Shiyuan's tail.
She frowned and looked up at him accusingly, with dissatisfaction in her eyes.
"What? You gave it to me, and you still want to regret it?"
Xie Shiyuan closed his eyes, looking as if he didn't want to pay attention to her.
"You dare to absorb the inner pill of the monster directly? You are so brave."
Qin Shu looked confused. Why did he sound like he was doing this for his own good?
It doesn't matter, if she doesn't understand, there will always be someone who does.
She quietly took out the communication jade slip and asked a question on it: [Masters, can we absorb the spirit in the inner pill of the monster? 】
Soon, an enthusiastic immortal master replied to her, [Newcomer? The spirit of the monster is violent and not suitable for humans. ]
[Warning of broken tendons! ]
[Unless it is refined into a pill, humans cannot absorb it directly. ]
…
Qin Shu understood this time that the inner pill is indeed a good thing, but it requires the help of an alchemist to make it into a pill.
Of course, the Alchemy Alliance purchases this kind of monster inner pill all year round, and the higher the level of the monster inner pill, the more valuable it is.
Just as she was thinking about whether to sell this inner pill, she suddenly noticed a slight breathing sound beside her ear…
