Chapter 440 The Precious Ginseng Fruit VS. The Easily Fooled Cultivator 43
The little fruit froze, staring at him, seemingly somewhat incredulous.
The white-boned demon said, "Are you sure he can really cure this poison? If he can, then the sooner the better, instead of dragging it out and wasting so much time. Unless... he's also helpless."
Meng Qizhou's demeanor clearly indicated that he had no choice but to hastily send Xiao Guozi away to prevent her from being captured by those people in the sect to make medicine for him.
How could it be because they dislike her?
This reason is not convincing at all.
Moreover, judging from the way he seemed so reluctant to let go just now, anyone who didn't know better would have thought someone was trying to forcibly take away his treasure.
Thinking of this, the Bone Demon fell silent.
Although he used to cultivate in the desolate mountains and had never interacted with anyone, he had lived for a hundred years, so he shouldn't be completely oblivious to this.
"He's about to die," the Bone Demon repeated.
His tone remained cold and devoid of warmth, as if he were talking about something utterly unimportant.
That was certainly true for him.
But these words struck Xiaoguozi like a thunderbolt.
Is Meng Qizhou going to die?
die?
Little Fruit frowned deeply.
She hadn't expected this to happen.
She naively thought that Meng Qizhou just wanted her to leave.
If nothing unexpected happens, perhaps only I can save him.
But……
But, should she really sacrifice herself to save his life?
Little Fruit felt uneasy.
She didn't want Meng Qizhou to die, but she certainly couldn't let herself die either.
"what to do?"
Little Guozi was anxious and sad, and her eyes immediately welled up with tears.
Tears welled up in her eyes, and she was completely at a loss.
She looked back at the road.
The white bone demon paused, pondering a solution.
“I have an idea that might work. I am just a skeleton, without flesh and blood, and immune to all poisons. I can try to transfer his poison to me.”
What ordinary flesh and blood cannot withstand, bones can.
Little Fruit: "Then what will you do?"
The white bone demon thought for a moment and replied seriously, "Nothing will happen... maybe I'll become ugly."
If evil poison enters the body, the bones may turn black, but that doesn't matter at all. In any case, this body is already unbearable to look at.
Little Fruit thought of something and said, "Then let's give it a try. If you can really cure his poison, I can find a way to help you restore your physical body."
For her, this was not a difficult task; it was merely a matter of consuming some essence and spiritual energy.
Although pricking your fingers really hurts, but...
Little Fruit stared at his chubby paws, which had been dirty before but returned to their clean state after he wiped them.
However... if she could really save Meng Qizhou, she was still willing to make some sacrifices.
Consider it payment for all those candy figurines he gave her...
The little fruit kept its thoughts hidden.
It's not because I like it.
“Let’s go back and find him,” Little Fruit said.
The white bone demon simply hummed in agreement and led her back.
"Thank you," Little Fruit said to him sincerely.
White Bone Demon: "It's alright."
He listened without any emotion.
To be honest, he could have just walked away and not bothered with all this.
But for some reason, I couldn't help myself and kept thinking that I should help her.
Perhaps it really is fate.
...
On the mountain road.
Meng Qizhou was too weak to stand for long, so he leaned against a cliff to rest.
The surroundings were very quiet, with only the faint sounds of flowing water and chirping insects.
But soon came the sound of hurried footsteps.
Hearing the noise behind him, he quickly turned around to look.
"Why are you back?" he asked, frowning, glancing at the other end of the mountain path, worried that the sect members might have already come looking for him.
"What went wrong on the road? Why did you come back? Hurry up and go." He urged.
"You lied to me." Little Fruit ignored his questions and her first words were an accusation.
She moved closer.
When Meng Qizhou saw her coming, he squatted down in front of her.
Little Fruit: "You can't cure the poison at all. You were lying to me. Are you going to die? You're just waiting to die here."
She didn't beat around the bush; she just said it directly.
Meng Qizhou remained silent.
After a while, he denied it again: "No."
Seeing that he was still being stubborn, Xiao Guozi simply slapped him across the face.
"We're not stupid."
Meng Qizhou tried his best to calm his breathing. "Go away. My affairs are none of your business. The farther you go, the better."
Little Fruit pretended not to hear and asked the Bone Demon again, "Can you save him now?"
The white bone demon nodded. "Okay."
Before Meng Qizhou could react, they immediately took action.
As demonic power was injected, Meng Qizhou clearly felt the restlessness that filled his body gradually dissipate.
The white bone demon explained to him while channeling her inner energy.
"Why are you helping me?" Meng Qizhou asked.
“She asked me to save you, so I came.”
Meng Qizhou frowned. "What are the conditions?"
Although this poison may not kill the White Bone Demon, it will certainly cause it some damage.
Meng Qizhou knew very well that the White Bone Demon wouldn't help him for no reason.
It must have been obtained by Xiao Guozi.
I don't know if I was bullied by this monster or fell into some kind of trap.
Seeing Meng Qizhou's wariness and his rather noisy manner, the White Bone Demon couldn't help but deliberately scare him.
“The conditions are very simple. She said that as long as I am willing to save you, she will be mine in the future. She will marry me, serve me every day, have no contact with outsiders, and never leave my side again. If we get along well, she will give me a few more children, just like her, little ginseng fruits.”
The white-boned demon spoke from memory, saying that this was how it was always portrayed in plays, guaranteed to provoke anger.
As expected, Meng Qizhou was so angry that his face turned pale.
"She's so young, how can she marry you? And how can she give birth to the little ginseng fruit?"
Although the ginseng fruit may have cultivated for many years, the little fruit is still naive and ignorant.
She doesn't even know how to wash her face!
She needs to be fed!
I need to hold and soothe them to sleep!
Let alone getting married and having children, she needs someone to take care of her all the time, so how can she take care of others?
Meng Qizhou was absolutely furious.
That bastard!
He almost cursed, but he lost his voice due to exhaustion, and his throat became hoarse.
The white bone demon's expression was subtle; it was quite interesting to watch.
He continued, "Of course, it's not entirely because of you. She has long been in love with me and is willing to cultivate with me. When she grows up a bit more, we will officially get married. She asked me to save you only because she is kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see you die a tragic death."
Meng Qizhou was speechless, but his eyes were filled with rage, as if he wanted to tear him to pieces immediately.
The white bone demon remained calm; the angrier he became, the easier it was for him to circulate his internal energy.
Just now I was worried that his poor condition might affect the effectiveness of the poison transfer, but now, due to his anger and agitation, all the meridians in his body have become active and smooth.
Little Fruit stood guard for them not far away, and they couldn't hear what the little fruit was saying through the barrier.
She just stared at him with her big, round eyes looking completely innocent.
What's wrong with Meng Qizhou? He looks so fierce right now.
