Chapter 435 The Precious Ginseng Fruit VS. The Easily Deceived Cultivator 38

The disciple who was attending to him hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Senior Brother Meng, you're awake?"

His tone was one of surprise and disbelief.

Logically speaking, he should not wake up because he is extremely weak.

But now the whereabouts of his ginseng fruit are unknown. The elders have been discussing the matter with Senior Brother Chu but have not yet received a result. Just now, he was anxious and worried, but there was nothing he could do.

Now that the person has suddenly woken up on their own, their condition must have improved somewhat.

"Senior Brother Meng, I'll go and report right away..."

Meng Qizhou interrupted him, hurriedly asking, "Where's the ginseng fruit?"

Just now, in his dream, he heard that the ginseng fruit had been killed, and he even heard the pitiful cries of the little fruit...

When the disciple heard him ask this, he replied, "Senior Brother Meng, your ginseng fruit is gone. But what about Senior Brother Chu..."

What he wanted to tell Meng Qizhou was that although the ginseng fruit he had raised had escaped and disappeared, there were other ginseng fruits that could save him, so he didn't need to worry.

However, this disciple was very tongue-tied and couldn't speak very clearly.

When Meng Qizhou heard his disciple say "it's all gone," he immediately froze, unable to hear a word that followed.

That's all...

He's dead!

This little one is usually very delicate and has never experienced any hardship. If she gets even a minor scratch from being naughty, she'll cry for a long time, her tears soaking her clothes, and she needs constant coaxing to calm down.

But now... he was cruelly murdered and made into an antidote...

He was panting heavily, his breathing becoming increasingly difficult, and it felt as if a piece of flesh had been ripped out of his chest, causing him excruciating pain.

Everything went black, and he fainted again.

"Senior Brother Meng! Senior Brother Meng, what's wrong?! Someone come quick!"

...

Meanwhile.

Little Fruit and the White Bone Demon were hiding in a cave on the cliff.

On their way down the mountain, they encountered a group of demonic beasts and were surrounded by them.

The situation was urgent. In order to avoid being devoured by these demonic beasts, she had no choice but to have the White Bone Demon carry her back towards the sect.

The area around the sect was protected by array formations, preventing the demons from approaching.

However, fearing being found by the sect disciples, Xiao Guozi dared not get too close and could only hide temporarily in a secluded cave on a steep cliff.

The White Bone Demon was also in bad shape; his cultivation was suppressed by the sect's formation, leaving him somewhat weak.

Xiao Guozi wanted him to leave, but he refused and insisted on following her, so she had to use her spiritual power to temporarily seal his demonic aura.

"Why don't you just go back? Do they also want to hurt you?" The White Bone Demon noticed something amiss.

Little Fruit nodded and told the truth: "They want to eat me."

She looked at her chubby paws, which had accidentally gotten covered in dust and dirt in her haste, and were now quite dirty.

She recalled the day Meng Qizhou deliberately bit her hand, saying something like "delicious, delicious," implying that he had long harbored the intention to eat her.

She was so afraid of pain, but she never expected him to just eat her whole.

Little Fruit whimpered a few times, sounding a bit dejected: "They still want to gnaw on my bones..."

Seeing her like this, the white bone demon comforted her, "Don't be afraid, I will help you."

He glanced at the sky outside; hiding here indefinitely wasn't a solution.

With wolves in front and tigers behind, danger will find them sooner or later; they have to find a way to get out.

"You wait here, I'll go out and check the situation. Those demonic beasts shouldn't dare linger, they might have already left. If it's confirmed to be safe, I'll take you out then."

He told the little fruit to stay put and then turned into a wisp of black smoke and left the cave.

Little Fruit looked left and right, but it was pitch black all around, so she had no choice but to huddle in a corner, looking like a fat mushroom.

Not long after, there was a commotion outside.

She sensed the aura of the White Bone Demon, but as soon as she was about to show herself, she was bound by the Immortal Binding Rope and could not break free.

Upon closer inspection, the person who arrived was none other than Pei Zhengqing.

And it wasn't just her; the White Bone Demon was also captured by Pei Zhengqing!

"Take them all back and let the elders decide what to do with them."
