Chapter 436 The Precious Ginseng Fruit VS. The Easily Deceived Cultivator 39
Little Guozi hung her head, looking like she was about to cry, and didn't know what to do.
Although she is a ginseng fruit, she may be able to resist for a while and protect herself, but there are many capable people in the sect, and they will surely find a way to break the curse before long.
As for that white bone demon... her chances of survival are slim, she's the one who dragged him down.
"Waaah..." Little Guozi whimpered softly, looking utterly pitiful.
It's all Meng Qizhou's fault.
She never imagined he could be so heartless.
On second thought, it was ultimately a matter of life and death. People are selfish, so it wasn't strange that he chose to sacrifice her to save his own life, but she still felt extremely distressed.
Meng Qizhou is the most heartless person.
"Waaah..." Little Fruit's tears fell even harder.
The skeletal demon, who was bound along with her, could only comfort her: "Don't cry, I..."
He wanted to say that he would find a way to save her, but those words sounded weak. He was in dire straits himself, so saying anything more would be useless. He kept quiet and thought of a plan.
Little Guozi cried for a while and then stopped.
I'm sad as I am, but now there's no one to comfort me, and it's just a waste of my energy.
She wiped her tears with her paws and remained silent.
Her face was flushed, her nose was red, and her eyes were red, yet she held back her tears and pretended to be strong. It was the first time I had ever seen her look so pitiful.
"Senior Brother Pei, what kind of poison has Senior Brother Meng been poisoned with? Is there no other way?"
Many of the disciples present had seen this fruit before and felt a pang of pity.
They all knew that Senior Brother Meng treasured this fruit very much, carrying it with him every day, eating and sleeping with it, giving it whatever it wanted, treating it like a precious treasure, and spoiling it rotten.
I initially thought it was just a little radish spirit, but it turns out it's actually a ginseng fruit. And now it's going to be used as an antidote; it's truly pitiful…
Pei Zhengqing looked serious, shook his head, and remained silent.
The disciples sighed helplessly and fell silent.
After returning to the sect, Xiao Guozi and the White Bone Demon were imprisoned in two secret rooms.
Pei Zhengqing went to report back and overheard the guard saying that Meng Qizhou had woken up briefly but then fainted again, constantly muttering that he wouldn't eat ginseng fruit, that he couldn't eat ginseng fruit...
The elders hesitated for a moment, thinking that Meng Qizhou's words had a hidden meaning.
The effects of ginseng fruit are described in books or are hearsay, but no one has ever witnessed them firsthand, nor do they know how to proceed—whether to absorb its spiritual energy, eat it raw, or make it into pills.
They were unaware of these things.
Meng Qizhou kept saying he couldn't eat it; could it be that he knew something secret?
This is not a trivial matter that can be ignored.
If handled improperly or if any mistakes are made, this life-saving antidote might turn into a deadly poison, which would be terrible.
Everyone is now in a very difficult situation.
“Since he just woke up once, let’s find a way to wake him up again, even if it’s just for a quarter of an hour, so we can get the answers we need.” An elder looked at the disciple on duty. “Did you notice anything at the time? Why did he suddenly wake up?”
The disciple lowered his head and thought to himself that he had only been talking to himself, saying that eating ginseng fruit could detoxify, and that it was really pitiful, that he would probably bleed a lot...
Just as he was muttering to himself, Senior Brother Meng woke up, and the first thing he asked was how the ginseng fruit was... Later, after receiving the answer, he fainted again, as if he had fainted from anger...
He reported the truth.
"So... it means you can't eat it raw or when it bleeds?" someone asked.
"this……"
"Why not bring the ginseng fruit directly and see if it can wake Qi Zhou up..."
Soon, the ginseng fruit was brought to the secret room where Meng Qizhou was.
She looked around at the people with suspicion.
These people are now accomplices in trying to harm her.
Looking further inside, the real murderer, Meng Qizhou, lay there motionless, his face pale.
"Do you have a way to wake him up? If you can, we'll let you go," someone coaxed.
Little Fruit didn't believe it, ignored it, and turned her head away without saying a word.
"Don't refuse a polite offer and then you'll have to suffer the consequences. If you don't comply, we'll just kill you." Someone attempted to threaten, speaking very fiercely.
The little fruit was startled by the sound, and after a couple of sobs, she started crying, tears streaming down her face.
"Waaaaah..." She was both scared and anxious, and also angry. She retorted fiercely, "I'm not afraid of you, waaaaah..."
But then she started crying halfway through her sentence.
The secret room was filled with her aggrieved cries.
Just as someone was trying to shut her up, Meng Qizhou frowned and suddenly opened her eyes, waking up.
He turned his head to look to the side and saw Xiao Guozi lying there, all disheveled and crying.
His heart tightened, and he instinctively wanted to hug her, but his body was out of control, and he rolled off the bed.
"Qi Zhou!" Everyone crowded around.
