Jiang Wuyuan, holding the Devouring Star, cautiously approached.
After a moment, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
That was—the Heart of Water!
Beneath a brightly lit tree, a little girl, half-human and half-snake, leans against the tree with her eyes closed.
She has long green hair with slightly curled ends.
His pitiful little face was covered in mud, but there were no injuries.
From the waist down is a bright green snake tail, with smooth, even scales, like a fine brocade.
It's clear that the three-headed black-patterned python didn't mistreat her.
Jiang Wuyuan even saw that Water Heart was being held in her arms, and the gentle energy was slowly nourishing the girl's body, as if stabilizing her injuries.
"Is this the child of a monster and a human?" Zhuang Yaoqing had never seen anything like it before.
Jiang Wuyuan had naturally never seen it either.
Or rather, it's hard for anyone in the world to imagine what it would be like for a human to mate with a monster.
Jiang Wuyuan declined to comment.
"What's wrong with her?" Zhuang Yaoqing looked the girl up and down. "There don't seem to be any external injuries."
"It should be an injury to the source." Jiang Wuyuan's cultivation was higher, and his perception was also more acute.
He could sense that the girl was lacking in power.
Zhuang Yaoqing's expression suddenly dawned on him: "But the Heart of Water... can't heal the injuries to the source, can it?"
"Perhaps it's just that the Xuanwen Python sensed the emergence of a treasure and wanted to use it to help this young girl," Jiang Wuyuan analyzed calmly.
But he wasn't very kind.
Moreover, this was originally just a projection of the secret realm, not a real person.
"Let's take the Heart of Water and go."
Even a third-tier half-human, half-snake creature couldn't withstand a single sword strike from him.
However, he did not intend to kill him outright.
Ultimately, this little girl still has half human blood.
After saying that, he walked over and took the Heart of Water out of the girl's arms.
The Heart of Water was cool to the touch; although its elemental energy was extremely strong, it was very gentle and did not harm Jiang Wuyuan in the slightest.
It's a good thing, but he doesn't need it, so he can sell it.
"Do you need it?" Jiang Wuyuan looked in Zhuang Yaoqing's direction.
Zhuang Yaoqing quickly waved his hand: "What would I do with this thing? I can't use it to make medicine."
Jiang Wuyuan pondered for a moment, then said, "We could consider adding a combat talent."
How did such a weakling even think of coming to the secret realm to fight for his life?
Clearly, Zhuang Yaoqing did not understand the hidden meaning in Jiang Wuyuan's words: "I only need to refine medicine. As for fighting, firstly, I have no talent for it, and secondly, I am not interested in it."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Wuyuan put away the Heart of Water.
He doesn't offer much advice on other people's choices.
"What should we do with this little girl? Just leave her here?" Zhuang Yaoqing thought for a moment, then rummaged through his spatial ring and finally took out a bottle of potion. "Let's see if it can help."
