106 Chapter 106. What The Hell is This?
Su Qing thought that Ji Shuisheng was going to say something important to him, but he heard Ji Shuisheng ask in a shallow voice,
“Why didn’t you feed me medicine?”
He didn’t even dare to look at Su Qing after he finished speaking and quickly walked up the mountain. Su Qing looked at his back and was stunned for a moment. Was that man with the aggrieved expression Ji Shuisheng?
Ji Shuisheng brought Su Qing to the valley with dense vegetation, where he found the Lingzhi. Su Qing squatted down to examine the red monster Ji Shuisheng had killed. It looked like a centipede, but centipedes did not have such a hard shell. The shell was like armor. If Ji Shuisheng had not held a treasured saber, he would have died there.
“Be careful; it’s very poisonous.”
Ji Shuisheng saw that Su Qing was about to touch the monster and quickly called out to her. Su Qing looked up at him and nodded without saying anything.
With Ji Shuisheng around, Su Qing couldn’t throw the giant red centipede into the system. She asked Ji Shuisheng for a treasured saber to cut branches and weave a basket to bring the giant centipede down the mountain.
Using the priceless saber to cut tree branches was a waste, but Ji Shuisheng didn’t feel any heartache at all. He took the saber from Su Qing and helped to cut the tree branches.
Seeing that he was helping, Su Qing picked up a tree branch and started weaving a basket. The basket was too small to contain such a giant centipede, so Su Qing had to make a huge basket.
Ji Shuisheng pulled Su Qing away when he was putting the centipede into the basket,
“I’ll do it. If I’m poisoned, you can still save me.”
After Ji Shuisheng finished speaking, he deliberately glanced at Su Qing’s red lips. Su Qing’s scalp turned numb from his gaze. Why did the words of this man who had always been unsmiling make people feel … What?
Then, she saw that Ji Shuisheng was focused and started working. He carefully avoided the centipede’s claws and grabbed its outer shell to put it into the basket. However, this thing was too hard and could not be put in.
“Xiao Qi, can I cut it off?”
Xiao Qi was looking at master and Ji Shuisheng with great interest. That man was very concerned about master!
Hearing Su Qing’s question, Xiao Qi fell off her chair. She rubbed her butt and said with a bitter face,
“You can!”
Su Qing took the treasured blade from Ji Shuisheng’s hand and cut the centipede’s joints. Green liquid spurted out as she cut.
Ji Shuisheng quickly pulled Su Qing away from the green liquid. He feared that Su Qing would be splashed, so he used his body as a shield and protected her in his arms.
Su Qing had killed many men, but this was the first time he was being protected in a man’s arms. Her body stiffened, and she quickly tried to push Ji Shuisheng away, but he was too strong to do so. Su Qing’s face was angry, and just as she was about to lose her temper, Ji Shuisheng let her go.
“Give it to me,”
Ji Shuisheng didn’t look at Su Qing’s angry eyes. He took the treasured knife from her hand and cut the centipede. Every time there was a green liquid that spurted out, he was able to avoid it at the right moment.
Su Qing stood at the side and looked at him. She did not even know how to face Ji Shuisheng. She was not used to the feeling of being protected.
She was very powerful and omnipotent. She was an emotionless killing machine. Why would she still have this feeling?
Ji Shuisheng put all the centipedes into the basket and carried them on his back. He said to Su Qing,
“Let’s go down the mountain.”
A ray of sunlight shone through the gaps between the branches and landed on Ji Shuisheng’s body as if giving him a layer of golden light. Xiao Qi saw it and jumped down from the stool.
It saw the dragon again in the golden light!
Xiao Qi rubbed her big eyes in disbelief. When she looked again, the dragon was already gone. The man who treated her master well carried the giant centipede down the mountain.
Su Qing followed behind him in silence. When she was about to leave, she found another little Lingzhi. This was a pleasant surprise.
Su Qing quietly put the Lingzhi into the system. With the Lingzhi, it could make life-saving medicine. Xiao Qi was elated.
“Congratulations, master. Your [ medicine ] has reached Level 5. Your stamina, spirit, combat power, and warlord ability have all reached level 25.”
Su Qing heard the system’s happy voice when they were going down the mountain. After saving Ji Shuisheng, her medical skills improved quickly, but she didn’t know why her merit points didn’t increase.
She had thought the system would reward her with something, but the system started to play dead after reporting the good news.
Su Qing and Ji Shuisheng returned to the resting area and saw that none of the villagers had eaten. They were all waiting for them on an empty stomachs.
“You don’t have to wait for us on an empty stomach in the future.”
Ji Shuisheng put the basket on the ground and said to aunt Qiu. There were more than a hundred people; eating was a very time-consuming thing.
“These are all the prey that you guys caught. How can we have the nerve to eat them first?”
Aunt Qiu smiled and shook her head. Since Su Qing and Ji Shuisheng were back, they could start eating. The goat had to be cut into small pieces and distributed to everyone. Su Qing went to wash her hands and helped, while Ji Shuisheng went to change his clothes and clean his wounds.
Li Daniu was curious about what Ji Shuisheng was carrying back and couldn’t help but go to the basket to look. Ultimately, he was so spooked that he ran to the side and vomited. Seventh brother Jiang also couldn’t help but take a look when he saw him vomiting. In the end, when he saw those creepy claws, he was so scared that he retreated and shouted at Ji Shuisheng,
“Shuisheng, What’s this? Why is it so scary?”
Ji Shuisheng took off his tattered clothes, and the injuries on his body were a ghastly sight. With tears in her eyes, Xiaoying helped her brother clean his wounds and apply medicine. How painful would it be for such a big wound? Ji Shuisheng’s expression did not change. When he heard seventh master Jiang’s question, he hurriedly shouted,
“Don’t touch it. It’s poisonous.”
“He brought back poison?”
Jiang Laoqi was so frightened that he quickly retreated and asked Ji Shuisheng in disbelief.
“Su Qing needs to use it for medicine.”
Ji Shuisheng heaved a sigh of relief and spoke indifferently when he saw old seventh leave the basket backpack.
Qiu Yue’s heart trembled with jealousy when she heard this. Brother Shuisheng had suffered a lot of injuries to concoct medicine for Su Qing. Why did he care so much about her?
After Su Qing distributed the meat to everyone, she carried the basket and walked into the forest. Ji Shuisheng saw her and followed,
“Do you need my help?”
“No need. I’m using a secret recipe from my ancestors. I can’t let anyone see it.”
Su Qing looked into Ji Shuisheng’s eyes and said indifferently. She noted that it was an ancestral secret recipe, so it was not good for Ji Shuisheng to follow her. However, he had been paying attention to the situation in the forest, afraid that Su Qing would be poisoned like him.
Seeing that Ji Shuisheng’s eyes followed Su Qing’s movements, Qiu Yue was so angry that her almond-shaped eyes were filled with tears. Her eyes were filled with resentment like a resentful wife.
“Sister-in-law, I think Shuisheng seems to be interested in Su Qing? ”
When aunt Li saw that Ji Shuisheng was so concerned about Su Qing, she could not help but gossip with aunt Qiu.
Aunt Qiu looked at her daughter and sighed when she saw the jealousy on her daughter’s face. She didn’t respond to aunt Li’s words and instead called for everyone to clean up.
“Everyone, move quickly. We still have to hurry on with our journey later.”
Qiu Yue clenched her clothes tightly. She was afraid of losing Ji Shuisheng. She had wanted to marry him since she was young. It was not easy for her to look forward to her growing up, but he was getting further and further away from her!
No, she had to stop Shuisheng. Qiu Yue couldn’t care less about her fear of Su Qing. Her jealousy overcame her fear and she ran to Ji Shuisheng and said excitedly,
“Brother Shuisheng, do you know who she is?”
