Especially the wound on its abdomen, which has now become just a faint trace.
He stretched out his finger and tapped Little Red's head.
His casual tone made him seem harmless.
"If you come back covered in wounds from another wild beast, I'll cut off your tail and make soup from it."
The words he uttered were incredibly cruel.
Little Red gazed at Junyu with her big eyes.
It initially thought the man was a bad person.
But he actually saved himself!!
Suddenly, Xiao Hong's attitude towards Junyu changed.
Yes, he's a good person.
Thinking about it again, he and Su Yan had a very good relationship.
So, Little Red opened its mouth with great trust and spat out the spoils it had gathered from its search outside.
It was a round, black object.
It looks like... a fruit?
Junyu glanced at it, and when he saw the two small white dots peeking out from the dark fruit...
His eyelids twitched.
Suddenly, his gaze toward the snake changed.
"You found him?"
Little Red nodded, wagged its tail, and looked very energetic.
Junyu smiled faintly.
"To be able to carry this thing and come back alive, he's not entirely stupid."
Little Red, its scarlet forked tongue flicking out, began to chatter incessantly.
"Give half of this fruit to Su Yan, and I'll eat the other half. That way, I won't get separated from Su Yan."
Junyu had no idea what Xiaohong was talking about.
He just stared at that fruit.
This fruit is called the Sacred Essence Fruit. It also has another name: the Marriage Fruit.
It only ripens once every three thousand years, but it grows underground and its flowers are no different from ordinary small flowers.
So much so that it is difficult to detect.
Since it is a fruit of predestined marriage, one can understand its meaning.
There are two pieces of fruit inside the fruit, enough to be shared between two people.
This way, the other person will be able to sense it telepathically no matter where they are.
Secondly, those who eat the fruit have made a pact to never betray each other.
If one of them falls in love with someone else, they will both die the moment their hearts change.
This fruit takes three thousand years to ripen, growing in the soil and absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, so it naturally possesses a spirit.
Eating it signifies eternal life.
Junyu once spent a great deal of effort searching for this item but failed to find it.
Unexpectedly, the snake was found by sheer chance.
The fruit of marriage itself is very nourishing to the soul.
If it is eaten whole by one person, it will only have the effect of nourishing the soul.
Such a wonderful thing, when it matures, will attract countless underground creatures to compete for it.
As he was thinking, Junyu glanced at Xiaohong again.
My opinion of Xiao Hong has changed somewhat.
It was a bit foolish, but it seems like I had pretty good luck.
It's alright as a mascot or something.
After all, they were able to break through the encirclement of countless competitors with this marriage fruit in their hands, and even manage to climb over the wall and come back.
This is already incredibly lucky.
Little Red flicked its forked tongue.
"Hiss hiss hiss hiss!!"
Many people are vying for it!!
It almost didn't make it back because of this fruit.
Waaaaah~ I need to go find Su Yan to comfort me.
While we're at it, let's share half of the fruit with Su Yan.
Right at this moment.
As soon as Xiao Hong looked up, she heard Jun Yu's muffled groan.
He leaned against the wall, a sharp pain shooting through him.
His face turned pale instantly.
When he opened his eyes again, they were bloodshot.
This pain came unexpectedly.
Pain spread throughout the body and limbs.
