Chapter 229 It's not the theft itself that's scary, it's having someone's eye on it.
Qu Haifeng: "How long was he unconscious?"
Jia Xitong: "It's been seven days!"
"The Six Rabbit True Fire is a rare divine object, but those who obtain it will be burned to death by the true fire if they do not know how to refine it."
Qu Haifeng glanced at the little beast's forehead and topknot, then said softly, "The best way to save him now is to extract the fire seed from his body and preserve it using a special magical artifact."
Take out the fire?
"But I don't have any magic artifacts to preserve."
“I have a precious furnace that can hold real fire. If you wish, I can help you preserve it.”
ah?
Upon hearing this, Jia Xitong glanced at Aunt Haifeng, who had a gentle and friendly face, and wondered if she was just trying to trick Shang Yanting into giving her the treasure she had just acquired.
She glanced at Shang Yanting, who was fast asleep.
Should Qu Haifeng take it?
no.
It's often said that borrowing money is easy, but repaying it is difficult.
It's easy to give the fire to Qu Haifeng now, but they might not be able to get it back when they want it back.
Besides, didn't she say that only those who obtain true fire are easily burned? Shang Yanting is a dragon now, and a dragon with the protagonist's halo at that. The dangers faced by the protagonist are more often opportunities.
"Aunt Haifeng, I can't make decisions about the host's family matters."
She looked troubled and touched Shang Yanting's slightly flushed face. "He's alright now, what if he can subdue the fire seed? If a serious problem arises, can I ask you to come again?"
Qu Haifeng wasn't surprised that Jia Xitong didn't agree immediately.
The magical beast that can be protected by that person must have some advantages that ordinary magical beasts do not have.
“Peak Master Yan saved Changxi and Tingting, so as a token of our gratitude, we should naturally offer our assistance.”
Qu Haifeng said kindly, "However, you should make a decision as soon as possible. The longer the true fire remains in his body, the more harmful it will be to his health."
Thank you.
Jia Xitong got up and asked Niu Chuanchuan to see them off.
##
During Shang Yanting's coma, Jia Xitong kept him in Xianlong Mountain.
He currently has an abnormally high body temperature.
The Ultraman light on his chest never stopped flashing.
There were no other abnormalities in his body for the time being, and he lay quietly in bed as if he were asleep.
early morning
Sunlight streamed in through the window.
The birds in the treetops had already started chirping, and Jia Xitong suddenly jumped out of bed.
"Good morning, dear host!"
Of course, nobody paid any attention to her.
Jia Xitong knew this herself, so she dressed and got out of bed by herself. She fetched some clean water from outside, wiped her face with a small towel, tidied herself up, and then went out with her basket.
Actually, it was just going to the back mountain to retrieve the spiritual essence.
Because Shang Yanting was unconscious, all the spiritual essence was given to him to drink.
After feeding him the spiritual essence, wipe his face, hands, legs, and feet (← use a handkerchief for each). Once you've done all that, he should be fine.
Jia Xitong would sit next to him and study the ostrich egg that had been brought up from the bottom of the water.
The ostrich egg was always warm to the touch, indicating that there might indeed be a tiny life inside waiting to hatch. She would take it out to check it every day, then tuck it into Shang Yanting's blanket (←because it was warm enough inside).
##
The Six Rabbit True Fire requires forty-nine days to refine.
Jia Xitong kept a calendar and counted the days every day.
Qu Haifeng came twice during this period, asking her if she needed help getting fire.
Niu Chuanchuan also disagreed with the idea of obtaining the fire seed, because the magic weapon was an opportunity; his fellow disciples were more hesitant, their main idea being that they didn't seek great wealth and status in life, but only peace and safety.
However, their intention
Seeing that nothing else worked, we ultimately had to listen to Jia Xitong.
She said no, and that's final.
"All right."
Qu Haifeng originally wanted to save Yan Qing, do her a favor, and take the ball of true fire in return. Unfortunately, he couldn't persuade Jia Xitong after several attempts, so she had to give up.
As she left, the disciple following behind her glanced back and said, "Master, that little beast is really ungrateful. You kindly helped it, but it kept making excuses and didn't appreciate it. Who do you think you are? If you really wanted that fire seed, wouldn't it have been a simple matter of snatching it from me?"
You really can't steal it.
Qu Haifeng recalled that day when that person suddenly summoned the four deans and brought this little magical beast to issue a warning.
With someone protecting it, it's really untouchable unless there's a fundamental issue.
"I quite like this little animal."
Qu Haifeng suddenly said.
This slender beast is incredibly powerful, understands human nature, and is devoted solely to its master. If she could have such a magical beast, it would be the icing on the cake.
Yan Qing is, after all, a mortal, and whether he can subdue the fire seed depends on his fate.
If he were to actually be burned to death, she could then clean up the mess and take both of them for herself.
##
After seeing Qu Haifeng off, Jia Xitong cleaned up Shang Yanting as usual, and then took out the ostrich eggs to take a look.
Ostrich eggs were originally vermilion in color.
But when I took it out today, its color had turned brown.
There was no damage whatsoever, it just suddenly changed color.
Normal eggs will spoil for various reasons if left for too long, so this ostrich egg also... went bad?
It would be such a waste to let it spoil.
Jia Xitong stared at the egg for a long time before making a difficult decision.
—Eat it!
First, find a big pot.
Prepare scallions, ginger, garlic, and salt on the side.
Knowing that Shang Yanting couldn't eat chunky food, she decided to make him some egg drop soup.
Bang bang bang—
Several loud cracking sounds startled a few birds in the trees.
