Jiang Wuyuan did not stop him, and watched as Zhuang Yaoqing poured all the medicine into the mouth of the unconscious girl, standing aside without saying a word.
Knowing it's not real, why treat it this way?
Perhaps this is what it means to have goodness in your heart.
—If you pretend you don't see it, you won't be able to get over that hurdle in your heart.
After the little girl took the medicine, she actually woke up.
She opened her eyes shakily, revealing a pair of emerald green vertical pupils.
The next second, upon seeing Zhuang Yaoqing and Jiang Wuyuan, two humans, she abruptly straightened up, instinctively baring her teeth, her vertical pupils shrinking into an extremely narrow slit.
"Humans! All humans, get out!"
Zhuang Yaoqing blinked and skillfully comforted her: "Little sister, don't be afraid. Your brothers aren't bad people. Look, I just gave you some medicine."
As he spoke, he held up the empty medicine bottle in his hand to show it to her.
Seeing that she remained vigilant and didn't let her guard down, Zhuang Yaoqing changed the subject: "Little sister, why are you here all alone?"
Perhaps it was because Zhuang Yaoqing's tone was too friendly, or perhaps it was because she hadn't seen humans for a long time, but the girl slowly softened her fierce expression and licked her dry lips: "I...I was abandoned by humans."
No wonder they are so hostile to humans.
"Then the big snake picked me up. It was very kind to me and would pick fruit for me to eat," the girl said softly. "After it found out I was sick, it would often bring me many treasures to cure my illness."
But I know those things are useless.
However, to avoid worrying the giant snake, I pretended to be very happy and accepted them all.
As she spoke, she finally realized that her arms were empty.
The snake's eyes narrowed again instantly: "Huh? Where's the treasure?"
Seeing that Jiang Wuyuan looked indifferent and showed no sign of guilt, Zhuang Yaoqing felt that Jiang's mental fortitude was extraordinary.
"Maybe it was eaten while you were sleeping," Zhuang Yaoqing casually lied. "Do you know where there's a treasure that can heal your injuries?"
Anything that can heal the root cause must be an extremely precious spiritual object.
It's not just about helping this little girl anymore; it can also bring new life to some of the soldiers in the Dragon Kingdom.
Zhuang Yaoqing knew a lot about the Dragon Kingdom and was willing to make a contribution to it.
"I don't know," the girl shook her head, "but when I was still among humans, I heard about the Wood Spirit Clan in the Mystic Water Forest..."
Wood Spirit Clan?
Jiang Wuyuan immediately turned his gaze to the girl: "How much else do you know?"
The girl was startled by his sudden gaze and almost bared her teeth at him: "No, I don't know. I only know it's deep inside, and I don't know anything else."
Zhuang Yaoqing also showed a puzzled expression: "What is the Wood Spirit Clan? I've never heard of it."
“A magical beast with a lineage, and it is also quite close to humans,” Jiang Wuyuan explained succinctly. “Most importantly, something called Wood Spirit Liquid can be born from the Wood Spirit King’s body, and this substance can heal the source of life.”
hiss--
Zhuang Yaoqing gasped: "Doesn't that mean the opportunity is right beside us?"
Seeing the two of them like this, the girl said timidly, "Um, I left the human world three hundred years ago, so I don't know if the Wood Spirit Clan still exists."
The snake couldn't understand me, and I didn't send it to search for anything.
Zhuang Yaoqing and Jiang Wuyuan exchanged a glance, both seeing the determination in each other's eyes.
"Little sister, stay here and don't run around. Your brothers will go find you some medicine," Zhuang Yaoqing reassured her before turning and following Jiang Wuyuan.
Behind them, the little girl stared blankly at their backs.
——
After leaving the cave in the lake, the two returned to the forest.
"If we walk around the inner perimeter, we're bound to run into them, right?" Zhuang Yaoqing didn't have any better ideas.
Jiang Wuyuan paused for a moment, then decided to call for help: "This is a matter of great importance. You can contact Senior Zhuge."
“Yes, Zhuge Wangran is also in the secret realm.” Zhuang Yaoqing knew the seriousness of the problem and immediately began to contact the other party using his bracelet.
In the secret realm, although the bracelet cannot receive messages from the outside world, people in the same space can send messages to each other.
Take Zhuge Wangran and Zhuang Yaoqing, for example.
[Zhuge, return immediately upon seeing this.]
Zhuge Wangran was doing something else and didn't reply for a long time.
【1】
In short, Jiang and I have found a clue to a spiritual object that can heal the injury to the source.
[What?! By the way, could Jiang be... Jiang Wuyuan's junior?]
It was him.
"You're actually dating him? You're incredibly lucky!"
That's not important. What's important is that we need your help now.
[I charge for fortune telling.]
I understand. I'll give you credits after you get out.
[A straightforward person. Hey, let me make this clear first, it's not that I'm unwilling to help the country, it's purely due to cause and effect.]
[I know, I know, hurry up and calculate.]
There was silence over there for a while.
It's a bit difficult; the barriers here are too great, and my perception isn't very clear.
However, there seems to be a clue somewhere to your northwest.
Oh, by the way, where are you guys? Let's meet up; the closer we are, the more accurate my calculations will be.
[Inner perimeter of the Mysterious Water Forest.]
【Received~】
"He told us to go northwest," Zhuang Yaoqing succinctly summarized their conversation in one sentence. "What does Jiang think?"
Let's go.
