Chapter 96 - Debt
Chapter 96: Debt
Song Qingfeng turned around with a smile, and his figure slowly disappeared. Before he disappeared, Song Qingfeng said, “After refining 60 years’ worth of pills, the debt between us will be cleared. That little leaf will be yours.”
Dong Xi retracted her gaze and looked at the clothes in her arms. She thought of the debt she was in and wanted to cry, but she couldn’t.
By the way, Dong Xi still owed him half a year. It was a total of 60 and a half years.
“Forget it, I haven’t refined any medicinal pills yet anyway, so I’ll just treat it as practice.”
By the time all these debts were paid off, even if her alchemy technique was not top-notch, it should be close to top-notch by then. At that time, she would be considered an alchemy master!
Dong Xi put the clothes made of an unknown material into her storage ring, took out her little leaf, and flew back to the cave abode.
They passed by the small wooden house outside. A year had passed, and many things had already grown in the garden. The flowers were also exceptionally beautiful. Dong Xi could not help but sigh.
At this time, the noonday sun shone on the flowers, making them even more vibrant.
Seeing that the wooden house seemed to be empty, Dong Xi thought about how she had watered it for a long time. It would not be too much to pick a flower and bring it back, right? Just one flower was good.
Dong Xi controlled the magic tool to land in front of the flower garden, and a refreshing fragrance wafted over.
Dong Xi took a deep breath. Her face was filled with happiness. She lowered his head and saw a bright red flower. This flower seemed to have been watered by blood.
Dong Xi was about to ruthlessly destroy the flower!
After thinking for a moment, she did not take it down in the end. Instead, she dug it up along with the soil and roots.
At that time, would it not be better to focus on the outside of the cave?
Dong Xi had just reached out to push away a bit of the soil when she touched something hard.
She dug it out curiously and found two scales.
Dong Xi picked up the scale and pondered for a moment. Her expression changed and he hurriedly put it away in her storage ring. Then, she quickly dug out the flower.
She used an earth-type spell to restore the nursery before jumping onto the magic tool and flying toward the inner sect.
Dong Xi thought for a moment. The black snake should like to sleep very much, so it probably would not wake up now, right?
Dong Xi decided to first make a trip to her Master’s cave abode. Only when she arrived did she discover that her Master had actually gone into seclusion.
Left with no choice, Dong Xi could only return to her cave abode and quietly open the restrictions.
She had thought that the cave would be full of dust, but recently, she found that the cave was very clean, and the snake was not here.
“He left?” Dong Xi muttered to herself. “Forget it, it’s fine if he leaves. It’s just that I’ve raised the big snake for so long, and he didn’t even say goodbye when he left.”
Dong Xi went outside to plant the flower, then came to the pond in the backyard to take a bath.
She held a handkerchief in one hand and some flower petals in the other, planning to take a flower bath.
However, she did not expect to see a man by the pond when he walked over. The lower half of his snake tail was reflecting the water, and his upper body was already wet and stuck to his body. Dong Xi could clearly see the outline of his figure.
She did not expect that someone would shower without taking off their clothes. What kind of habit was this?
Su Cheng turned over and supported his head with one hand. He squinted at the little girl who seemed to be a little taller.
He had thought that this girl had escaped with his inner core. Now, she had actually returned with some flowers.
Su Cheng could clearly feel his aura all over the flower.
Dong Xi immediately felt a little embarrassed. She tried to break the awkwardness by playing dumb and said, “Haha, it’s been a long time,”
“I haven’t seen you for half a year, and your cultivation hasn’t improved at all,” Su Cheng said coldly.
Dong Xi, “…”
Suddenly, she did not want to pay attention to the snake. She cast a cleaning spell and walked into the cave.
As soon as Dong Xi entered the door, Su Cheng followed.
Dong Xi looked at him, thinking that the snake was going to say something venomous, but Su Cheng said, “Where did this flower come from?”
When Dong Xi heard the black snake change the topic, she did not react in time. The snake felt a little bored and said indifferently, “I’m still looking for the scales that I left in the outer sect residence.”
Dong Xi took out the scale from her storage ring and handed it to the snake. Dong Xi said, “Here, I’m returning it to you.”
Su Cheng looked at it indifferently and casually said, “I’ll give it to you.”
Anyway, Su Cheng could not put the scales back. The scales would grow again the next time it shed, so it was useless to keep it.
The snake’s words surprised Dong Xi. This great demon had given her his inner core and scales? Was he going to give him the snake blood next time? Finally, possession?
It shouldn’t be, right? Dong Xi’s aptitude was average, but the black snake actually ‘took a fancy’ to her?
Dong Xi’s face turned pale as she thought about it. She quickly said, “I don’t want to!”
Su Cheng glanced at her and said with disdain, “I’m not willing to give it to you either. But you’re just too weak. If you suddenly die, you’ll implicate my inner core!”
