Chapter 437 The Precious Ginseng Fruit VS. The Easily Fooled Cultivator (40)

Meng Qizhou pushed away the person who tried to help him up, struggled to stand up on his own, his steps unsteady, but he still walked step by step to Xiao Guozi.

He reached out and touched it; it was a real tactile sensation.

It wasn't eaten!

He felt both surprised and terrified, worried that it was just a dream.

When Xiaoguozi saw him approaching, she cried even more aggrievedly, her cries growing louder and louder, but when his hand came near, she dodged away.

He is the worst and most vicious person.

"Don't cry..." Meng Qizhou said softly, his voice very hoarse and somewhat unpleasant.

He tried to pick up the little fruit that was lying there, but the little fruit resisted and wouldn't let him touch it at all.

Meng Qizhou moved a little faster and forcibly pulled her into his arms.

Little Fruit cried and struggled, scratching at him with its two paws and kicking him with its two feet, "It's all your fault, it's all your fault, it's all your fault!"

She vented all her resentment on him.

Because of him, she was already terrified, and yet she was being bullied by so many people.

"It's all your fault!" she continued venting her anger. "I'll never forgive you again. I was so good to you, and you still wanted to devour me. You have no conscience..."

She was always so good to him; she even had a share of the little sugar figurines she hid under the bed.

Did he think the sugar figurines would just appear out of nowhere? It's because she had prepared his share while she was hiding them.

She thinks about him all the time, but he still wants to take advantage of her...

The more Xiaoguozi thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt, and tears kept falling.

Meng Qizhou felt the real pain, and only then did he gradually feel relieved. It seemed that it really wasn't a dream.

She hasn't been eaten yet; she's still alive and well.

“I never said I wanted to eat you. When did I ever say I wanted to eat you?” Meng Qizhou explained. “I won’t eat you.”

"Waaah..." Little Guozi couldn't hear a word, she just kept crying.

"I won't eat you, I really won't."

"Waaaaah..."

"This..." Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment at the scene.

That made me finally understand what "cannot be eaten" meant.

It's not that they really can't eat it, it's that they just can't bear to eat it!

Some disciples were whispering among themselves.

"Senior Brother Meng is like a protective mother hen guarding her chicks right now..."

“Shut up! How can you call Senior Brother Meng a hen! That’s too much!” Another disciple quickly retorted with a cold face and a serious tone, “He’s clearly a rooster.”

Various sounds rang out in the secret room.

Seeing this, an elder spoke up at the opportune moment: "Qi Zhou, don't act on emotion. The poison in your body still needs this ginseng fruit to cure it..."

The ginseng fruit had finally calmed down a little, but upon hearing this, it immediately started wailing again, "Wah..."

Meng Qizhou was heartbroken.

She was covered in dust and filth, and it was obvious that she had suffered a lot these past few days and had been badly bullied.

It's heartbreaking.

At the same time, Meng Qizhou also knew that even if he did not agree to use the ginseng fruit to detoxify, they would definitely force him to do so if he was weak and unconscious or unable to resist.

He had to appease them.

So he said, “Elders, don’t worry, I have a way to detoxify.”

I'll stall them for time and keep them from interfering, then I'll take the opportunity to send the little fruit away.

The rest is up to fate.

If he can live, then he can live.

If he cannot, then it is his destiny to suffer this calamity, and he has no one to blame but himself.

But no matter what, he could not possibly trade the life of the ginseng fruit for his own.

He couldn't bring himself to do it.

"Listen to me, don't cry... I'm here, everything will be alright." He wiped away her tears, having already made up his mind.
