Chapter 135: Chapter 135 - Another Five Points

A beautiful white flower bud.

Luo Qianqian’s eyes sparkled, she took a closer look at the flower bud then she took a look at the drawing, then she repeated herself, then she repeated herself.

She compared the features carefully, and then she threw herself at Murong Yun, “We’ve found it! Murong Yun, we’ve found it!”

This was the best feeling in the world, after endless mountains and rivers that left doubt whether there was a path out, suddenly they encountered the shade of a bright Serpent Flower and found a way out.

Su Liancheng also heard that, he jumped for joy and refused to come to the front, he just felt reluctant to come near to the serpent.

The baby serpent kept crawling back and forth around the serpent’s neck, it looked like they were having great fun.

Luo Qianqian dug the plant out carefully and put it in a pot that she had prepared, she didn’t have much faith in her ability to take care of the plant, so she handed the pot to Feng Qing who she trusted more, “Thank you, Feng Qing.”

The baby serpent kept staring at Su Liancheng with great interest in the eyes.

Su Liancheng out his arms across his chest, “Are you looking at me as dinner? Tell… tell you what, bring it on, I’m… I’m not afraid of you!”

But his facial expression and his tone said otherwise, Su Liancheng was scared.

‘Is the baby serpent hungry?’ thought Luo Qianqian, ‘the baby had just had some egg shell it must be hungry.’

Su Liancheng packed a lot of food in his bag, the baby serpent had a delicate sense of smell, no wonder it kept staring at Su Liancheng.

Luo Qianqian was almost sure that the baby serpent harbored no hostility against Su Liancheng, so she walked to Su Liancheng and took some meat out of his bag.

Slowly, she walked to the mother serpent and lifted her hand up high to feed the baby serpent.

The baby serpent stuck out its tongue and made a clean sweep of the food, Luo Qianqian just noticed the baby serpent also had fangs, she didn’t want to risk it, so she put the rest of the meat on the ground and make an obeisance by cupping one hand in the other before her chest, “Serpent, thank you so much for taking me to the flower. But we need to find some more medicines, so please excuse us.”

With that Luo Qianqian waved her hand at the mother serpent and her baby, Su Liancheng grinned, ‘Finally we are getting out of this place!’

The team walked out of the cave and now they realized the reason why there was no other serpent around this cave, it was because the mother serpent was too intimidating, especially she just had her baby, of course she had been more defensive recently.

Luo Qianqian was beaming with pleasure as they walked out of the cave, ‘Great start, one more closer to the antidote!’

Luo Qianqian’s mood was so blissful that she even caught herself humming, she even teased Su Liancheng, “Hey, Su Liancheng, I didn’t know you were afraid of serpents, you should see your own face just now, yelling at the baby serpent that I’m not afraid of you, it’s so funny!”

Su Liancheng averted his face and cleared his throat, “Sister-in-law, that’s nonsense, I’m not afraid of serpents, it’s just… I’ve had some bad experience with snakes.”

Luo Qianqian whispered at Murong Yun’s ear, “Tell me more.”

Murong Yun showed a meaningful look, “Haha, a girl once put aphrodisiac on a snake’s fang and she released the snake in Su Liancheng’s room.”

“What? That’s cross the line!” Luo Qianqian was shocked.

“And? Was Su Liancheng bitten?” Luo Qianqian was curious to find out what happened to Su Liancheng, no wonder he didn’t want to come near to the serpents.

And then she gave Su Liancheng a thumbs up for willing to overcome the fear in his heart.

“He was.”

Su Liancheng had to stay in a cold water basin for a whole night, and he threw that girl out of the capital city as punishment and threatened her that she would be beaten up if she dared to show up in the capital city again.

Luo Qianqian knew Su Liancheng was just saying that, no way would he beat up a girl.

Feng Qing also heard this story for the first time this day, he was surprised as well.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“It looks like we’ve all called Su Liancheng a playboy unjustly, he is the wealthiest young lord in the capital city, so many girls kept throwing themselves at him, and his father has been forcing him to get married and carry on the family line, Su Liancheng has so much pressure!” Luo Qianqian said with sympathy.

“I think he is having fun.” Murong Yun replied, there was a touch of jealousy in his tone, he wasn’t happy that his Qianqian kept talking about some other man.

Luo Qianqian smiled and handed Murong Yun the passing token that Liang Ao had given her, “Is this thing legit? Do you want to take it?”

Murong Yun cast a glimpse at it and handed it back to Luo Qianqian, “It’s legit, you keep it, I think we will use it someday.”

Murong Yun thought the passing token would help Luo Qianqian if she encountered assassins sent by the Liang Clan in the future.

“Murong Yun, we can get three hundred thousand taels of silver from the Liangs, so much money, how can we spend that!” Luo Qianqian grinned, she wasn’t worried those people would go back on their word.

Murong Yun stroked her hair with affection, “That IS so much money.”

Xiao Bai’s voice rang in Luo Qianqian’s mind again, Xiao Bai said there was a herbal medicine called Water Lily Herb could be found in the waterfall nearby.

The Water Lily Herb Xiao Bai was talking about was at least fifty years old, it looked like regular Water Lily, but it you took a close look you would find the leaves were as sharp as sawtooth and it was highly poisonous. And the challenge was it would die without the water from the waterfall.

Luo Qianqian scratched her head and turned to Xiao Bai.

“Ha, I have a solution, but you need to spend some points.”

“Xiao Bai, since when you’ve become a moneygrubber? All right, just tell me how much.”

“Not that pricy, five points.”

Luo Qianqian’s heart sank, another five points, she only had about ninety points left.
