Chapter 316
"She is more dangerous than you, sister." Shen Wuyong's answer was really unsatisfactory.
What is the danger of a slap on the face that can nearly kill someone?
Seeing that she was unconvinced, Shen Wuyong continued, "How much wheat can you ripen, sister? How can someone who can cultivate the spiritual platform to that level be a good person? My parents sent people to visit her hometown. They said that not a single blade of grass grows and that people are eating each other. It's not an exaggeration. There is no drought in that place."
"So, it's her?!"
Shen Jiao also pondered her own abilities and how to use them all in a moment. She thought that by absorbing strength, the grass and trees would wither, while the branches and leaves would flourish.
However, this is a very tricky method. Shen Wuyong feels that there must be other ways, but he himself has not figured it out.
Shen Jiao couldn't just go around destroying things, so he could only grow some seasonal vegetables, fruits, and melons and wait for them to grow before he started. It was a bit slow, but it was better than nothing.
But from what Shen Wuyong said, Shen Yinyin has no scruples at all.
"She's so cruel, isn't she afraid of being discovered?"
"Sister, she's stupid, not incompetent. Even if she's discovered, she can still escape. You were able to knock her out because she was trying to use a self-torture tactic and deliberately left her defenseless. In a real fight, you might not be her match. She hasn't learned any powerful martial arts, but all she needs to do is lose control, which is not difficult for someone who has already mastered the spiritual realm."
"Hmm..." Shen Jiao pondered for a moment, "From today on, I won't go out. Remember to bring me something to eat."
Shen Jiao was a person who listened to advice. She didn't even live on the bed next to the poison pool. She lived in the secret passage, so that Shen Yinyin wouldn't come in one day and see her and find her annoying and have to get rid of her.
Shen Wuyong knew that she was a coward, but he never expected her to be so cowardly.
"Okay, you can hide. We're still unclear about her target, but it's certain she wants to harm you."
Especially after Shen Jiao slapped her, Shen Yinyin didn't seem to care about it anymore, but from time to time she would ask what Shen Jiao was doing, as if she was particularly concerned about her, and repeatedly said that she wanted to go see her.
Shen Wuyong and the others had gotten away with it, but this wasn't a long-term solution. Once Shen Jiao went out, she would definitely be an eyesore to her, so it was fine to just stay underground.
If there weren't so many things to do, Shen Wuyong would have wanted to stay underground and soak in the pool forever.
Shen Jiao peeked through the crack at the entrance to the secret passage, seeing him almost submerged in the pool, and asked curiously, "Aren't you feeling any pain? Does this technique stop hurting you after a while?"
Every time Shen Jiao entered the pool, she felt so painful that she wanted to scream.
"It's okay." Shen Wuyong didn't seem to want to pay attention to her.
Shen Jiao thought he was just being too concerned about his reputation, but who knew that it was Shen Yinyin who solved her mystery.
About five days later, Shen Yinyin was giving him acupuncture by the pool, and Shen Jiao heard them talk about Shen Wuyong's "illness" with her own ears.
Shen Yinyin said softly, "Since my brother's numbness is caused by an illness and not something he was born with, there must be a way to treat it. He's not completely numb. Soaking in the pool more often, stimulating it, and then using acupuncture, maybe there's hope for recovery. But this throat... I'm afraid it's truly incurable."
"Thank you for your concern, big sister," Shen Wuyong said, touching his neck. "My voice has been like this for years, and I'm used to it. It's just a little unpleasant, but I don't think it's really annoying. I have to be seriously injured to sound like a normal person. It makes me wish I could be injured every day."
"That's not right..."
They chatted back and forth like they were having a heart-to-heart talk with siblings. Shen Jiao didn't listen carefully. She was worried that she would also become an unconscious monster. As soon as Shen Yinyin left, she couldn't wait to ask,
"What's wrong with you?"
"Didn't I just say it was due to illness?
I caught a cold while practicing martial arts in the past and was sick every few days. Later, I don’t know why I lost all feeling and even my sense of taste was not much left.
My sister is in good health, so I don't think you need to worry about this."
Shen Wuyong knew Shen Jiao quite well, and as soon as he heard her speak, he knew what she wanted to ask.
To be honest, he was a little envious. Shen Jiao had been practicing for so long and had never been sick twice. Apart from his cold hands and feet, he had no other problems. How could one not be envious?
Shen Jiao breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."
Fortunately, she took good care of herself, otherwise she would have become like Shen Wuyong, who might not even know when someone stabbed her in the back... right?
It’s quite exciting to think about it.
Shen Jiao probed, "You told her this kind of thing...just like that? Aren't you afraid she'll stab you in the back later?"
"If she really has that ability, there's no point in me being afraid, right? Is this sister caring about me? Or does she want to try it herself?"
"I think... I need to eat something better," Shen Jiao changed the subject abruptly. "Can you bring me some meat? I'm getting skinny from eating vegetables all the time, and I'm not a rabbit."
"My sister wants quite a lot, but it's not my decision. My elder sister sends me food every day, so what can I do?"
Shen Wuyong just said one word and let Shen Jiao leave the secret passage.
"That dish was sent by Shen Yinyin?!!!"
"Yes, she also farms. Seeing that I like to eat vegetarian food, she sends some food to me every day. I am afraid that she has put drugs in it and I dare not eat it, so I have to give it to my sister."
Shen Wuyong said innocently,
"My sister likes it too, and she even praised the chef's cooking skills."
That's because Shen Jiao doesn't know who the chef is.
"Is what you're doing humane? Besides, are you afraid she'll drug you?"
He soaks in the poison pool every day and nothing happens, so why would he be afraid of the medicine in the food?
"Sister," Shen Wuyong said cautiously, "it's better to be safe than sorry."
"You are a ship that will last for a thousand years, but mine can capsize at any time?" Shen Jiao really wanted to strangle him to death.
Shen Wuyong said, "Sister, are you still afraid that she'll drug you? You've often soaked in poisonous water and you're fine."
He said everything Shen Jiao wanted to say.
"I'll just drown you!" Shen Jiao pressed his shoulders and pushed him down.
He stood still like a mountain, laughing for a while before saying, "Don't be upset, sister. There's nothing wrong with the food. Mom and Dad ate it too and said it was delicious. And didn't you notice?"
"Found something?"
"Vulgar," he rolled his eyes at Shen Jiao and said, "These dishes help increase spiritual power. Sister, don't you feel it at all?"
Shen Jiao: "Am I familiar with my spiritual power?"
Didn't that bastard Shen Wuyong take it all away? What could she feel?
However, after hearing what he said, Shen Jiao patiently felt it during dinner the next day. Indeed, there was a trace of spiritual power that turned into a warm current and flowed into her dantian, bringing her a little long-lost warmth.
Although it is a little less, it is still free spiritual power.
Shen Jiao looked at Shen Wuyong suspiciously: "You don't want to eat?"
