Chapter 441 The Precious Ginseng Fruit VS. The Easily Fooled Cultivator 44
Little Fruit frowned.
Meng Qizhou's temper is getting worse and worse.
The white bone demon kindly helped him, disregarding her own safety to transfer the demon poison for him, yet he still looked at her like she was an enemy, without a shred of gratitude.
If it weren't for the White Bone Demon, he would probably be dead alone on the mountain path by now.
Little Fruit winked and gestured outside the barrier, indicating to Meng Qizhou that he should not be so aggressive and should be kinder to the White Bone Demon.
The two of them seemed to have a tacit understanding.
Meng Qizhou quickly understood what she meant.
The fire in my heart burned even brighter.
Unexpectedly, she actually defended that bone demon so much, and even blamed him instead.
It must be that the White Bone Demon gave her some kind of bewitching potion.
Once his injuries heal, he will definitely teach that monster a lesson.
When Xiao Guozi realized that persuasion was ineffective, she had no choice but to give up for the time being.
About half an hour later, the poison had been mostly neutralized, and Pei Zhengqing arrived with his men.
"What are you doing?" he asked sharply.
Little Fruit was already afraid of him, and having been captured by him before, she couldn't help but feel nervous now. "I...we're saving him. The poison in his body has been transferred out."
She explained.
Pei Zheng glanced at the two people practicing their internal energy to the side.
Meng Qizhou's complexion had indeed improved considerably, while the white bone demon opposite him was experiencing restless demonic energy, unstable aura, and was surrounded by a demonic poison.
He had already made up his mind.
Without saying much, he immediately stepped forward and channeled spiritual energy into the white bone demon to soothe its mind.
"Hold on."
With the help, the White Bone Demon's aura became much more stable, and the spell continued, drawing out all the demonic poison from Meng Qizhou's body.
Soon, a powerful aura emanated from the three of them and spread outwards.
The sect disciples standing not far away all took a few steps back.
The smaller fruit that was standing closer suffered even more, and because it was small and light, it flew even further away.
She was left to scatter in a soft pile of leaves.
Although I wasn't injured, I was definitely startled.
"Waaah—" She almost burst into tears, but she forced herself to hold it in for fear of disturbing Meng Qizhou and the others.
Her body trembled slightly as she sobbed.
A few tears still clung to her cheeks.
Meanwhile, as soon as he finished circulating his energy, Meng Qizhou began to search for the little fruit.
He looked left and right.
Hey, where did Little Fruit go?
Weren't you just standing here perfectly fine a moment ago?
How did they suddenly disappear?
His eyes darted around, and he quickly found the little fruit lying pitifully on a pile of leaves.
He frowned, walked over, and picked her up from the ground.
He gently brushed the fallen leaves from her head and wiped away her tears. "What happened?"
"Waaah..." Seeing him come over, Little Fruit couldn't hold back anymore and started crying, clinging to him, "I was thrown out..."
Meng Qizhou comforted her, gently patting her back, "It's okay, don't be afraid..."
Little Guozi whimpered a few times, and it took a while to calm her down. Then she asked, "Is your poison gone yet?"
"Hmm." Meng Qizhou felt that he had recovered a lot. The demonic poison had been cleared, and there were no major problems left.
"Senior brother," Meng Qizhou recounted the events to Pei Zhengqing.
Of course, what he said was always embellished; he deliberately concealed part of the truth.
Pei Zhengqing didn't intend to ask any more questions, only saying, "I understand. You can talk to the elders about the rest tomorrow."
Since it was already late at night, the group did not linger and set off back to their sect.
The white bone demon was temporarily placed in a small courtyard.
Meng Qizhou then took Xiaoguozi back to his room.
"Are you really all better?" Little Fruit was still a little worried about him and asked several times.
"Yes, it's alright now." He nodded.
Little Guozi stared at him intently, scrutinizing him from head to toe, and he did indeed look much more energetic than before.
Meng Qizhou then asked, "What's going on between you and that white bone demon? What did you promise him, and why was he willing to save me?"
The white bone demon's words probably weren't true.
Or it may be half true and half false.
He has to ask him himself.
Little Fruit hesitated, reluctant to tell him that it was he who had agreed to restore the White Bone Demon's physical body.
Firstly, Meng Qizhou would definitely be unhappy if he found out. Secondly, she was also worried that Meng Qizhou would be prejudiced against the White Bone Demon and would not allow her to help him, or even directly expel him from the sect.
She had promised the White Bone Demon, and as the saying goes, she couldn't go back on her word.
Little Fruit: "I...I didn't agree to anything...He's just kind-hearted and willing to save you."
What she said wasn't wrong. It was the White Bone Demon who initially proposed the method. If it weren't for him, she wouldn't know what to do.
Seeing her so protective, Meng Qizhou was somewhat displeased. "You're still going to keep this from me."
He could tell she was lying at a glance.
Before, he might not have been able to tell. Now, knowing her as he does, nothing she does escapes his notice.
She's hiding something from him.
"Are you being disobedient?" he said.
Little Fruit was also unconvinced by his words.
He was so fierce to the White Bone Demon just now, and now he's going to be fierce to me too.
Who gave him permission to be mean to her?
"You yelled at me!" she cursed, and then started making a scene, "Waaah..."
She's throwing a tantrum again, just like before.
Seeing that she was starting to act spoiled, Meng Qizhou simply picked her up and pulled her into his arms.
“Don’t trust him easily. What you promised him before doesn’t count. Just tell me what compensation he wants, and I’ll give it to him,” Meng Qizhou said patiently. “You’re still young, and there are many things you don’t understand, so you can’t make decisions on your own. You have to listen to me, understand?”
"I don't know!" Little Fruit said matter-of-factly.
She's not young, nor is she stupid; she does whatever she wants.
Meng Qizhou then changed his tune: "Some things aren't urgent. We can talk about them a hundred or a thousand years from now. You can't even take care of yourself right now."
He came over with a teacup.
"Do you want to drink it yourself or should I feed you?" he asked.
The little fruit was being lazy and opened its mouth, saying, "I want to be fed."
“Yes…” Meng Qizhou nodded and slowly fed her water. “There are still many things you need me to do for you, right?”
Xiao Guozi thought of many things, not just drinking water, but also eating, washing up in the morning, sleeping at night, and playing outside... She needed Meng Qizhou to be by her side as a little helper.
What an easy-going servant!
She nodded immediately.
Seeing that it was very effective, Meng Qizhou continued to guide him, saying, "That's right, that's exactly it. There are many things you can't do well on your own, and you need my help... You can't take care of other people right now..."
He coughed lightly, looking a little uncomfortable, but continued, "Even if you become more powerful in the future, you still can't live without me... So if you agree to something like this, you're also agreeing to me, right?"
