"Of course, let your cat come over. It'll cost 500 coins, pay first and then see the doctor. I can't guarantee it will be cured."
Sheng Xia smiled politely, her almond-shaped eyes crinkling, and stated her request for treatment.
For someone so skilled at poaching clients, a "friendly price" isn't unreasonable, right? It's a fool not to take advantage of the available coins!
Upon hearing the word "five hundred shells," a look of embarrassment flashed across the mermaid Ji's face. He didn't have that much... He might not be able to earn that much even in four seasons.
But Luo Luo's illness has become a thorn in her heart, and no matter what, she has to remove this thorn for her today.
He lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth and made a difficult decision. He raised his head, looked directly at Sheng Xia, and said, word by word,
"I have a kind of pink cordyceps that would make beautiful clothes. It should be worth a lot of shell coins if I sold it. Can I use it as payment?"
After saying that, he immediately reached out and hugged a round bundle, adding seriously, "It's this big."
He had secretly collected several pink cordyceps from the hot summer months, intending to use them to make clothes for his partner.
Later, she was sold to Luo Luo at a high price by her partner...
Luo Luo is nice, but pink doesn't suit her.
Pink cordyceps?
As Shengxia listened to his description, her eyes lit up, and she blinked her clear eyes curiously,
"Where is the pink cordyceps? Let me see if it's okay."
Could the pink cordyceps he mentioned be the kind he encountered at the beach?
If so, then one large bundle is enough.
"Okay, I'll go get it right away!" Seeing that Sheng Xia was very interested, the mermaid Ji breathed a sigh of relief, stood up immediately, and turned into a silver-white mermaid.
It gracefully swayed its tail on the snow and quickly disappeared from sight, leaving Sheng Xia stunned.
So fish tails can be done like this?
Her gaze involuntarily drifted to Jiao Su's lower body, filled with curiosity and doubt. Could Su Su also swim on snow?
Her direct gaze amused Jiao Su, who took two steps forward and affectionately ruffled her long, smooth, black hair, speaking in a clear and elegant voice.
"Summer, I can fly, I don't need to swim in the snow."
He walked over and pulled her into his arms, then looked down at Sheng Xia with his golden eyes.
"If Xiaxia wants to see, I can go for a swim too."
That couldn't be simpler.
Unlike in water, the resistance is lower on snow, so the speed is faster.
Surrounded by the familiar cool fragrance, Sheng Xia wrapped her arms around Jiao Su's strong waist, affectionately pressed her face against his chest, and smiled sweetly as she looked up.
"Sure, I'll take a look when I have time."
Swimming on snow, what an amazing skill...
A male husky from the nearby cat tribe blinked its clear, bright eyes curiously as it watched Shengxia and her mate interact.
He sighed inwardly, "They didn't even argue?"
From childhood to adulthood, he had seen many couples fighting and arguing, of course, it was always the females who used their hands and words. He had never seen Sheng Xia and her partner get along so harmoniously.
The fact that this female partner hasn't been hit once in so long means she must have been beating her hard in private and had a good time, right?
Yes, that must be it!
Thinking of this, he unconsciously looked at Jiao Su and the others with pity.
Noticing his gaze, Jiao Su suddenly looked up, and when her golden-glass eyes looked over, the husky instantly bristled.
Intuition told him it was time to go.
The husky turned its head and ran away as fast as it could.
External males are terrifying...
Sheng Xia's almond-shaped eyes crinkled as she looked at Jiao Su with a teasing gaze: "Su Su is so amazing~"
A single glance was enough to scare the beast away; it didn't even need to utter a sound.
A gentle breeze blew by, the dark clouds dispersed, and the sun peeked out.
"Medical Doctor Xia, the cordyceps are all here." Mermaid Ji carried a bundle of beautiful pink ribbons and carefully placed it on a clean animal hide.
The bright pink color is as beautiful as a jade belt.
Shengxia's eyes lit up with surprise and she exclaimed, "So many! That's enough!" She turned to look at Maoluo, her joy at seeing the pink cordyceps written all over her face.
Pointing to the clean table and chairs in front of her, she said cheerfully, "Come sit here and show me your wrist so we can take your pulse first."
Despite having supernatural abilities and the blessing of a spiritual spring, she still couldn't neglect the traditional Chinese medicine diagnostic methods of observation, listening, questioning, and palpation, as they were her only connection to the Chinese nation.
She couldn't bear to leave.
Since it concerned giving birth, Mao Luo, though somewhat disliked Sheng Xia directing her actions, wisely refrained from saying anything.
She knew this treatment opportunity was rare, and it wasn't the time for her to be willful.
She bit her lower lip nervously and sat down in the designated spot surrounded by her partner, awkwardly reaching out her hand.
The mermaid Ji immediately stepped forward, gently pulled up her sleeve, and took out a small piece of clean animal skin from his bosom, placing it on the cold table for the cat to rest on.
Mao Luo looked at her exposed wrist, her long eyelashes fluttering, and urged nervously, "Alright, let me see quickly."
To distract herself, she turned her head to the side, her gaze lingering on the bundle of cordyceps, a glint of light flashing in her eyes.
So beautiful! It's even more dazzling up close than from afar.
Where did the mermaid Ji come from? She has no idea.
She definitely wanted to give herself a surprise.
So many pink cordyceps, I'm so reluctant to part with them...
It would be so beautiful to make clothes out of it, wouldn't it?
"Hiss..." Sheng Xia gasped, her brows furrowing slightly as she remained silent, her face looking rather pale.
Something's not right with the cat...
She bit her lower lip lightly, decisively released a wisp of her supernatural power, and began to investigate the situation. A gentle wisp of healing supernatural power flowed slowly through the cat's meridians.
The merman Ji and the others, who hadn't dared to utter a sound, felt a sudden jolt of fear: "What's wrong? What happened to Luo Luo?"
Could there really be a punishment from the Beast God?
What should Luo Luo do?
Hearing her partner's anxious voice, Mao Luo suddenly snapped out of her daze, clenched her hands in fear, and said in a trembling voice,
"What happened to me? Is it the Beast God's punishment?"
Is this punishment for stealing another animal's mate?
But her superpowers were also given to her by the Beast God, weren't they?
She had a vague feeling that something was wrong; it seemed that every time she used her superpowers or stole a partner, her body became weaker...
I've long heard that Shengxia is the messenger of the Beast God. Could it be that the Beast God gave her an order to punish me?
No, we absolutely cannot just wait around!
The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. A flash of panic crossed Mao Luo's eyes, and she turned around and rushed into her partner's arms, trembling with fear.
"I...I will never steal another woman's mate again." I dare not do it again.
"No, you're sick, it's troublesome." Sheng Xia frowned slightly, staring thoughtfully at a spot on the table, considering a solution.
She has problems with both fallopian tubes; one is severely blocked, and the other is deformed and unusable.
It would be strange if she could get pregnant under these circumstances.
However, that deformed one seemed a bit strange. We need to check it again to be sure.
"Come here for a moment, let me take another look."
