Chapter 174 Little Taoist, please let me go.
Jiang Zhi silently took two steps back, feeling a bad premonition in his heart, and asked in a tentative tone:
"It's not what I thought..."
Mr. Jin forced a mysterious smile and nodded.
"Yes, that's what you thought.
Jiang Zhi: “......?”
Rumor has it that a fox demon's entire body is a treasure. Its fur can keep out the cold, its blood can improve one's cultivation, and the inner elixir of a thousand-year-old fox demon can even revive the dead and turn bones into flesh, not to mention a mere heat poison.
Jiang Zhi had always thought that the rumor was false. After all, if that were true, fox demons would have become an endangered species long ago. But now, according to Old Jin, the rumor might be true.
Sure enough, the next second.
"The heat poison is difficult to resolve, and the required medicinal herb, Tianzhi grass, became extinct a hundred years ago. There is only one way to save this child, and that is the fox demon's inner elixir."
After saying that, Mr. Jin looked meaningfully at Jiang Zhi's chest.
Jiang Zhi pulled his collar tighter with an expressionless face and hid behind Youchen.
When the woman heard this, she understood everything. She immediately pulled Jiang Zhi out, grabbed his sleeve and made him kneel down. Big tears welled up in her eyes and her voice was shrill and tragic.
"Please save my child! I kneel down before you! I will serve you like a slave in my next life!"
In the next life...
It turned out that she also knew that the fox demon would die without its inner elixir.
Jiang Zhi hated to see others cry, but the woman's face was covered with tears and her pitiful appearance did not shake her.
She never thought of herself as a good person, but when she saw the pitiful and painful appearance of the children, she couldn't bear it and wanted to help them.
She is not a saint, so why should she sacrifice her life for others?
Even the resurrection that Xiaobai mentioned must be based on the inner elixir...
A burning pain came from her wrist. The woman's sharp nails almost dug into her flesh, causing her to frown in pain.
Suddenly, a large hand with distinct joints grasped Jiang Zhi's arm and pulled her behind him, isolating her from all the gossip.
The woman was forced to let go of her hand, but her red eyes stared at Jiang Zhi as if she wanted to eat her.
Jiang Zhi suddenly felt extremely ironic. Looking at Youchen's tall back, his nose felt sour and a heat spread in his eyes, as if something was about to burst out.
You Chen's voice was low, cold, and full of hostility. "She is not a saint. Why should she sacrifice herself to save your child?"
Old Jin silently watched Youchen protecting Jiang Zhi behind him like a chick, with an unstoppable smile in his eyes.
Hey, it looks like this guy is going to fail...
Youchen's expression was indifferent, his lips were pressed into a straight line, and his ink-black eyes were full of hostility.
Jiang Zhi originally thought that Youchen's tough attitude would make the woman give up the idea, but she immediately smiled and waved her hand understandingly.
"Don't worry, Taoist priest, I don't want this young lady's demon pill. You can go find another thousand-year-old fox demon..."
At the end of her words, the woman caught a glimpse of Jiang Zhi's extremely cold expression, and her voice gradually became softer as she lost her confidence.
Isn't it just an inner elixir? No one asked for yours, so why are you so angry?
The woman lowered her head, feeling indignant in her heart.
Jiang Zhi was so angry at this unreasonable and arrogant statement that he felt dizzy and immediately said sarcastically:
"I thought you just loved your son dearly, but I didn't expect you to be so shameless."
Jiang Zhi hates such selfish and evil behavior even more than those who have the word "bad" written on their faces.
Is her child nobler than a fox demon?
Ultimately, it is human nature that is at work.
The woman believed that no matter how much a fox demon cultivated, it was still just an animal, and therefore was inherently inferior to humans...
But Jiang Zhi felt that everything in the world deserved the word "noble". After all, who isn't trying hard to live?
Why should she kill one life for another?
The woman's face flushed red after being scolded by Jiang Zhi, but she didn't dare to refute. She lowered her head and looked submissive, fearing that the fox demon in front of her would become beastly and eat her alive.
The cry of a child broke the strange and stiff atmosphere.
Jiang Zhi looked in the direction of the voice and saw Mr. Jin sitting by the bed, concentrating on giving acupuncture to the child.
One by one, the ice-cold silver needles pierced into the delicate skin, and wisps of hot air emerged from the needle tips and finally slowly rose into the air.
Is this heat poison?
It was actually drawn out of the body by acupuncture?
Facing the cunning eyes of Mr. Jin, Jiang Zhi finally realized that there was no need for inner elixir at all and he had been deceived.
But why did he lie to himself?
In order to let Youchen see his true face?
No, no, no, Jiang Zhi immediately denied this guess.
Compared with Youchen's cold-blooded personality, he could be considered a good young man in society.
The woman kneeling on the ground seemed to see hope. She used her hands and feet to get up, tears in her eyes, and she was happy and excited.
After the acupuncture, all the heat and toxins were drawn out of the body, and the child's complexion gradually returned to normal.
Old Jin slowly put away the acupuncture bag and was waiting for the woman to thank him, but she picked up the child and walked out the door. Before leaving, she gave Jiang Zhi a fierce look, as if blaming her for her selfishness.
Jiang Zhi was not willing to be outdone, so he revealed his true form as a fox, baring his teeth at her as if he was going to eat her, which scared her so much that she screamed as if a ghost was chasing her. She hurried out and disappeared without a trace.
Youchen slapped Jiang Zhi on the head, slapping the little ears back and said in a deep voice:
"Behave yourself."
"pain!"
Jiang Zhi reluctantly tidied up her messy hair, mumbling uncontrollably.
Youchen was immediately angered and laughed, with a happy arc on the corner of his mouth, and his voice was low and the ending tone was slightly hooked.
"He's a bully at home."
