The two giant pythons stared at Feng Qinghuang for a while, whispering to each other.
Hiss hiss hiss hiss
"My lady, this human doll smells so good, it's so tempting."
The other giant python stared at Feng Qinghuang without blinking: "I smelled it too, and she also smells of our spiritual fruit. She must be the little girl who emptied our spiritual fruit."
Upon hearing his wife's words, the giant python stared intently at Feng Qinghuang: "Wife, why don't we just eat her? We didn't catch any prey today."
"Wait, let me smell it again. And don't forget our mission here?"
The giant python immediately became extremely alert: "You mean this girl might be...?"
"Shut up."
"Oh well."
The female python took two steps forward: "Little girl, why are you here?"
Feng Qinghuang, holding her Crimson Flame Whip protectively in front of her, replied, "It's nothing, I just came to dig for some treasures and accidentally wandered into this place."
"So, you dug up all the spiritual fruits and herbs outside the cave?"
Feng Qinghuang nodded obediently: "Yes, yes, I thought nobody wanted it. It would be a waste to leave it there. I might as well take it with me and refine some pills to cure diseases and save lives!"
The female python tilted her head, her large eyes sparkling: "You're an alchemist, what's your relationship with that guy surnamed Xuanyuan from before?"
"Are you talking about Senior Xuanyuan Lan? It's not related. If you really want to say it's related, then does collecting his body count?" Feng Qinghuang finally understood. It turned out that Senior Xuanyuan Lan had also encountered these two giant pythons.
The female python nodded: "I was wondering why I hadn't seen him come to gather herbs and spiritual fruits all these years. Turns out he's dead. Little girl, can I try some of the pills you made yourself?"
Feng Qinghuang nodded, took out a few pills from her spatial storage, and threw them into the giant python's mouth, which the python opened and swallowed.
Aren't you afraid I might give you poison?
The female python shook her head: "I believe you, little girl, won't do that. Besides, poison is useless against us."
Feng Qinghuang was relieved; thankfully, no poison had been given, otherwise the giant python would have torn up the cave in its rage.
After the female python swallowed the pill, her internal injuries gradually healed, much to the python's delight. Sure enough, this little girl was the one they had been waiting for.
The internal injuries in their bodies can only be cured with elixirs made from spiritual spring water; ordinary elixirs only treat the symptoms, not the root cause.
"Little girl, do you have spiritual spring water in your space?"
Feng Qinghuang asked in confusion, "What spiritual spring water?"
"Is the water in the pills you refine made from water from your spatial storage?"
Feng Qinghuang nodded: "Yes."
The giant python was overjoyed: "That's right. Little girl, could you give me a drop of your heart's blood? If you give me a drop, all the treasures in this cave are yours."
Feng Qinghuang quickly took a few steps back warily: "What exactly do you want? What do you want my blood for?"
The giant python shook its head: "I'm not quite sure about that either, but I can sense that your blood is rich in powerful vitality."
"Are you telling the truth? Do you know that heart's blood is the essence of the whole body? It takes a long time to recover from just one drop."
When the female python heard her question, she no longer hid anything: "For hundreds of years, we have been guarding a divine beast egg. Only your heart's blood can restore its life force. No one else can, including Xuan Yuanlan who came before."
Hearing this, Feng Qinghuang felt that if she didn't give it, she might die here. Giving it a drop of her heart's blood wasn't out of the question, but she couldn't let herself be at a disadvantage, could she?
"You just said that if I give you a drop of my heart's blood, all the treasures in this cave will be mine, but I haven't seen any treasures in this cave."
"Don't worry, it definitely exists, you just haven't seen it yet!"
The giant python's voice came with absolute certainty, and Feng Qinghuang nodded in satisfaction.
"Alright, since you've said so, I'll give you one drop. But it's a deal, just this one drop. After this is done, you have to give me all the treasures in this cave and let me go."
The giant python nodded.
Seeing that it agreed, Feng Qinghuang forced out a drop of her heart's blood, preparing to use her spiritual power to push it towards the giant python. But then, the scene suddenly changed.
The space that Feng Qinghuang saw at this moment was filled with fist-sized luminous pearls embedded in the walls. The pearls emitted a soft glow, exposing the entire space to Feng Qinghuang's eyes.
In the center of the space, there was a huge pond filled with twin lotus blossoms, each one a beautiful twin lotus standing upright. Glistening dewdrops on the leaves kept falling onto the water's surface, making a tinkling sound.
In the very center of the pond is a round platform, and on the platform lies a white egg, lying quietly.
The spiritual energy in the entire pond was extremely rich, and it felt as if all the pores on my body were open. This place was like a natural spiritual array, completely different from the outside world.
She wondered how spiritual fruits could grow in this place; it must be related to the spiritual energy in this space. However, the spiritual fruits she had just eaten outside were far less potent than those here.
At that moment, she saw her drop of heart's blood fly to the round platform, drip onto the white egg, slowly seep in, and finally disappear.
