Chapter 26

You’re Not Dead After All

Su Cheng felt that someone was pinching his weak spot. He instinctively rolled up his tail and wrapped it around Dong Xi’s hand. Dong Xi saw the little snake move and let out a sigh of relief. It seemed that she did not need to buy any spirit herbs.

Dong Xi said happily, “You’re not dead. I knew it. That’s great.”

These words of concern changed the feeling in Su Cheng’s ears. From the moment he was born, Su Cheng had crawled out of a snake’s egg alone. He had no parents and no one cared about his life or death. This was the first time someone cared so much about him. Su Cheng’s mood suddenly became a little happy and he unconsciously flicked his snake’s tongue.

Dong Xi saw this scene and asked happily, “Little snake, are you hungry? If you’re hungry, just nod.”

Su Cheng was a great demon who had survived the Lightning Tribulation. He had abstained from food a long time ago, so how could he be hungry? Su Cheng shook his head. Dong Xi’s eyes lit up when he saw Su Cheng shaking his head. This little snake could actually understand!

Dong Xi could not help but say excitedly, “You can understand my words? As expected, you’re a spirit beast. You’re so powerful.”

Su Cheng looked at Dong Xi’s face and thought to himself, ‘Human babies are really childish. What’s there to be happy about?’

Dong Xi took out a fruit from her storage bag and said carefully, “Look, I have some fruits here.”

“I’ll let you eat it, but you can’t bite me, okay?”

Su Cheng looked at the low-grade spirit fruit that would not normally appear in front of him, and his pupils shrank. Dong Xi looked at the little snake for a long time, and the snake still did not nod its head. Her face suddenly became very serious. If she was bitten by it and it was poisonous, she might die on the spot.

Su Cheng looked at Dong Xi, then laid on Dong Xi’s arm. Dong Xi’s body was overflowing with spiritual Qi. He did not know what kind of Spirit Constitution this girl had, but it actually had some effect on his injuries. He decided to keep her for the time being.

Dong Xi saw the disdain in the eyes of the little snake and immediately frowned. She took a bite of the fruit. A spirit beast was actually so picky and even dared to despise this fruit.

Dong Xi ate while mumbling, “I gave you food and you’re still not happy? You know, when you were unconscious, the food you ate was especially fragrant.”

Su Cheng felt a little helpless. This little girl took advantage of him when he was down, and now she had the nerve to say it? If the little girl was not still useful, Su Cheng would have swallowed her on the spot to save himself the trouble.

Dong Xi saw the little snake lying on her arm and closing its eyes again. It was obvious that it did not want to talk to her. Dong Xi was very unhappy. She pinched the little snake’s tail and pulled it off her arm. Since it did not want to talk to her, it should lie on her arm.

Su Cheng had just fallen asleep when he was woken up by the little girl. Although his heart meridian had recovered a little, his injuries were still very serious. When he was ambushed and resisted the Lightning Tribulation, most of his meridians were broken, and he was still very weak.

Su Cheng needed to sleep and recuperate. He could not be woken up again and again, which would only delay his healing. Su Cheng opened his eyes and heard the little girl’s dissatisfaction.

“Don’t pester me, go to sleep by yourself.”

Su Cheng was suddenly very angry and once again climbed onto Dong Xi’s arm. Just as Dong Xi was about to reach out and take the snake away, she saw the snake twining around his arm and flickering with a dark light. A black tattoo in the shape of a snake appeared on Dong Xi’s white and flawless arm, as wild as it could be.

Dong Xi was extremely angry, but there was nothing she could do. She could only let the little snake rest on her arm.

The next day was the day that Dong Xi and Ke Xin had agreed to meet. Today was the day that they would go to the gathering to take a look.

Dong Xi stood up from the futon. After washing up, she took her storage bag and went out to wait at the place they had agreed on.

After 15 minutes, Ke Xin ran over from afar and said to Dong Xi while panting, “Dong Xi, I’ve succeeded, I’ve drawn Qi into my body.”

Dong Xi was very happy when she heard Ke Xin’s words. After drawing Qi into one’s body, one would truly enter cultivation. In the future, one would have to cultivate even more diligently. Although one’s aptitude was not very good, as long as one cultivated diligently, perhaps there would be a difference.

Dong Xi said sincerely, “Congratulations, you’ve managed to draw in Qi into your body in just eight days. You’re already very impressive.”

Dong Xi did not know if something had happened to her during her transmigration, but based on the original body’s aptitude, even if she tried to draw in Qi for a month, she probably would not be able to do so. Compared to Ke Xin, Ke Xin’s aptitude was much better than the original body’s.
