Xiaobai Xiaobai
Si Xi just turned his head to look at Yan Ye, but this time, he couldn't say the words he used to force him to fall in love with someone else.
When she finally found her true love, she realized that even if she wanted to give up her love for him, it would be difficult to change her original intention.
People who are not involved in the matter often say the most relaxed things.
Heng Jin suddenly stopped, and the light in his hand illuminated the half-man-high cave entrance. The spiders were crawling all over the cave entrance, but no spider set foot in the passage inside the cave.
Continuing to follow Yue Niang's instructions, they found themselves in a dark passage that seemed to have no end, winding and twisting endlessly. They walked for a long time but saw nothing else.
“Hiss…hiss.”
Hearing the sound, everyone stopped moving forward.
They each looked around, but saw nothing.
The rustling sound never stopped, but the source could not be found. Until a drop of water fell on the back of Yuanli's hand, the place where the water fell stung uncontrollably. Yuanli hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe it, but not only did it not get better, but even the handkerchief was corroded with a hole.
Ignoring the pain on the back of her hand, Yuanli showed the back of her hand and the handkerchief to Heqi and whispered in his ear, "There's something on top of your head, hurry up!"
Heqi looked up and saw a snake as long as an arm hovering above their heads, spitting out its tongue and staring down at them hungrily.
After telepathically informing the others, they all quickly ran forward. The snake was very fast, slithering along the top of the passage. It disappeared only after it ran into another deep cave.
"What's that? Can a snake crawl on top of a slippery wall?"
Suddenly, a thick and long white dragon jumped out from Tianshu's sleeve, scaring Si Xi and Yan Ye so much that they hugged each other.
"Xiaobai! Didn't we agree that you are not allowed to show up?" Tianshu asked.
"Xiaobai is here? I can't see you. Why are you here? Didn't you agree to stay in the mansion and not come out? You didn't listen to me."
Xiaobai came to her side, wrapped his dragon tail around her hand, held it in front of him, and then licked the back of her hand. Instantly, the redness and swelling subsided a little.
"Bear with it, Master. I'm going to detoxify you. It's going to hurt."
Seeing her nod in agreement, Xiaobai opened his mouth, showing his sharp teeth, and bit her injured part. He had tried to bite with the lightest force, but she still couldn't help but cry out in pain.
"I'm sorry, Master. This is the least damage I can do."
The moment Xiaobai's poison entered Yuanli's body, she broke out in cold sweats due to the pain, but she was afraid that these people would misunderstand Xiaobai, so she held on and didn't scream. She even bit her lips a little, and the taste of blood filled her mouth, keeping her awake.
He Qi shouted anxiously, "Are you trying to detoxify her? I think her condition is getting worse! After you bit her, it looks more like the poison is taking effect!"
"I won't harm my master! I'm just detoxifying her, so don't make a fuss!"
"Then you do understand!"
"I told you I'm detoxifying her, don't make a fuss! My poison hasn't spread far enough in her body yet, don't interfere with my judgment."
Xiaobai's pale green eyes straightened up, and his bloody mouth opened slightly, revealing his two long, sharp fangs. The look he gave him was full of warning, as if he would bite him immediately if Heqi said another word.
Seeing that Yuanli's lips were beginning to turn black, Xiaobai took out a purple flower, plucked the petals and fed them to Yuanli.
"Master, this is the antidote. If you take it, you will be safe and sound in less than an incense stick. Come on, eat it quickly."
Yuanli was afraid that she would really be poisoned to death, so she quickly chewed up the flowers that Xiaobai fed her and swallowed them.
The moment the flower was swallowed, Yuanli felt a lot more relaxed, but she still felt chest tightness, shortness of breath, and dizziness.
"It seems not enough, give me another petal, Xiaobai."
"No, Master. You have to wait until the second stage of your poison before you can take the petals for the second time. I've been following you the whole time. The one that just dripped onto the back of your hand was the Jealous Scaled Snake, which is extremely poisonous. There's no antidote. I can only fight poison with poison. Let my poison kill the Jealous Scaled Snake's poison, and then I can use it to cure my own poison."
"Jealous unicorn snake?" Yuanli asked.
"Yes, this snake is very venomous and likes to attack its prey. The venom of the jealous scale snake has a slightly corrosive effect. They usually like to perch in high places and release the toxin from their fangs when the prey is least prepared. The venom will quickly corrode the wound, allowing the poison to enter the body through the wound."
"Why is it that there are these kinds of creatures who like to play tricks again! After the spitting Si Tiao left, here comes the venomous Jealous Lin Snake? I really don't know what Yue Niang keeps these for! They are not even afraid." Si Xi said angrily.
Yuanli asked, "Does this thing have any natural enemies it fears, or any strategies to deal with them?"
"Yes, it's me. Master, don't worry. With me here, all the jealous unicorn snakes here won't dare to act rashly. Even if there are those who dare not to die, I will deal with them before they get close to you."
"That's good. You should be more careful too. You also said that the Jealous Scale Snake is extremely poisonous."
"No snake's venom can be stronger than mine, Master." Xiaobai was delighted by his master's care, and his tone of voice was filled with smiles and pride when he answered.
He pleaded, "Master, please allow me to carry you. He can protect himself, but he won't be able to sense the Jealous Scaled Serpent's location in time. If I carry you, I'm afraid both of you might get hurt. There's another mortal here too; they have enough to worry about."
He Qi said reluctantly: "You want to hug me? How can you hug me when you don't even have hands? You should practice your transformation first before you dream."
Upon hearing this, Xiaobai immediately transformed into a human form. "I never dare to have any wishful thinking about my master."
"Heqi, I think Xiaobai is right. You've been holding me for so long, you must be very tired. Besides, Xiaobai can observe my condition in real time, so I can take the antidote a second time."
Without waiting for Heqi to react, Xiaobai quickly reached out and caught Yuanli.
Heng Jin knew that Xiaobai was just Yuanli's pet mount, and it was indeed safer for Yuanli to be held by it, so she did not feel jealous and continued to lead the way.
Si Xi and Yan Ye gossiped quietly, "Godmother is so lucky. Every man around her is so handsome. This one feels a bit like godfather, but a little crazier. Like that crazy, sick, paranoid handsome guy in that storybook I read last time, the kind who goes crazy for you, goes crazy for you, and bangs his head against the wall for you! Haha!"
"Bingbing, what kind of storybooks do you read? My father-in-law told me before that I should avoid reading the kind that poisons my brain. Are you interested in this again?"
Yan Ye's eyes were filled with resentment, and he began to worry whether Si Xi would fall in love with various handsome men after leaving the mountain. He already had one enough to worry about, and now there was another one.
"But Dad also said that men in the world are like a hundred flowers in full bloom, each with its own charm. Stories may poison the brain, but they bring joy. Don't forget that those stories were brought back to me by Dad. What kind of good man is my dad? Are you starting to listen to him?"
"Isn't it enough that you have so many child husbands? You still need..."
"What else do you want? Yan Ye! Don't act like the mistress of the house and tell me to take concubines. I just like to watch. I'm not like my father who wants to take every one of them home to defile! Besides, don't you see that this dragon's eyes are almost glued to my godmother? No matter what he is, I wouldn't dare to do it even if I wanted to! I just said he was handsome."
Yan Ye muttered in dissatisfaction, "You said you would be the boss and they would be the little ones, and now you think I'm controlling you."
Si Xi actually heard it clearly, but he deliberately asked, "Huh? What did you say?"
"No, nothing."
"Well, let's keep going."
Si Xi and Yan Ye were relatively close to He Qi, and although they deliberately lowered their voices, all their conversations still fell into He Qi's ears.
He walked up to Tianshu and shouted angrily using his telepathic voice: "Tianshu! What the hell did you bring? You're just a weasel paying a New Year's visit to a chicken. You have no good intentions!"
"What's wrong with me? Why are you so angry?"
"Who is that white dragon? How shameless! He's committing treason! How dare he snatch someone from me! Look at his eyes! If he dares to have any ill intentions towards my sister, I'll skin him and make shoes out of him!"
"That's Ari's mount. He followed her out of eagerness to protect her. Don't blame me, Heqi."
"You dare to snatch a mount directly from me? One from your heavenly realm?"
"No, most of the celestial pets are immortal beasts. He was picked up in the garden of Prince Wen's mansion in A-Li's first life and has been raising him ever since."
After hearing this, Heqi became even more annoyed. "A mortal picked it up... I'm even more angry! Tianshu!"
"Ali likes you, there's nothing I can do about it. You shouldn't even think about killing him. Xiaobai doesn't know your identity, and he has no concept of hierarchy. He followed Yuanli before he even transformed, so he's just a child at best, so it's normal for him to be a little obsessed with Ali."
"You watched her pick up animals without stopping her. What if she takes everything home and it's dangerous?" He Qi suddenly had an idea. "Ari seems to really like picking up animals..."
"Stop fantasizing. Stop it. Even if Ah Li likes picking up animals, she wouldn't pick up a terrifying giant fire bear."
"You know? She's fire, and I'm fire too, so why wouldn't she pick it up? Besides, bears! Bears! Many women in the demon world like animals like bears and raccoons."
"That's a furry bear. Round, furry things are attractive. But, based on your original form, according to Ahri's current thinking, she would think you were going to eat her and would run away at the sight of a shadow, let alone pick you up as a poor homeless person."
He Qi imagined the result and stopped talking to him speechlessly. Instead, he noticed Su Yang who was distracted beside him.
"Are you scared silly by snakes? You're not afraid of me killing you, so how can you be afraid of snakes?"
"No. The facial features of the white-haired man are somewhat similar to Youyou. I don't know if it's too dark under the cliff to see clearly, or if I misremembered Youyou's appearance again."
"That's impossible. Isn't the person we guessed that...Yuan?"
Tianshu agreed, "Yes, and Xiaobai's original form is indeed a dragon. He followed her before he transformed, and he only transformed thanks to the elixir she fed him."
Su Yang said, "I just saw Youyou's portrait in the wooden house. It shouldn't be wrong. Haven't you all seen that portrait too?"
