smuggler

Chapter 36
night, very deep.

The moon rose higher and higher, passing through the strands of black clouds and the slightly flickering starlight, it looked extraordinarily weird, and there seemed to be a terrifying power hidden in the silence.

The street at this time is quiet and a bit unsettling, the breeze blows gently, and the wall next to the street.

A few black shadows flickered, and a small shadow appeared on the corner of the wall, with dim green eyes shining in the night.

A dark night cat leaned out.

"Meow!"

The black cat puffed up its fur, bowed its body, and stared at my back with a pair of faint green eyes. After a hissing cry, it climbed over the wall and disappeared in a flash.

The leaves on the cold street were blown by the cold wind, but there was the sound of slightly staggering footsteps behind me.

Suddenly, I turned my head and widened my eyes.

Under the colorful moonlight, a black-smelling figure staggered from the entrance of the village, and the shadow under the crooked-neck tree seemed to be crumbling.

"Chu Yuan."

I yelled and ran over in a hurry, but I stopped before I got close.

His eyes were astonished, I had never seen him in such a state of distress, nor had I seen his face like this.

She lost her usual handsomeness, revealing a pale, extremely weak face.

He didn't expect it to be me, his scarlet eyes flashed with astonishment, and immediately he returned to his usual look.

"How could this be, how could this be." I murmured tremblingly.

But he was no longer as unruly as in the past, and he said awkwardly: "Although the snake lives, there is still a time to die, and the snake rides the fog, and it ends up as dust..."

He wanted to reach out, but his body softened, and I hurried over to help him. The moment I touched him, I felt that his whole body was completely empty, only the black layer was still maintaining him will.

He was already extremely weak, but he still had a calm expression on his face.

"The white python, who has practiced for hundreds of years, has made me so embarrassed. If it wasn't for the separation of the corpse and soul, and the weakness of the primordial spirit, how could he have let him run away!"

Chu Yuan raised his brows lightly, and pressed his heart with one hand, but the black air covered his outline, making it difficult for me to distinguish his painfully distorted face.

Although he is very weak now, but seeing him, the stone in my heart still fell to the ground.

"You, just come back!"

I looked at him with red eyes, and found that he couldn't stand up anymore, bit his lips tightly, and wanted to talk to him, but didn't know what to say.

"Bai Yao!"

He called softly, raising his hand as if to touch my cheek.

"I'm here!"

Hearing his painful voice made my heart tremble, and I quickly held his hand.

The next moment, he fell into my arms.

Under the broken armband is a strong arm, and under the skin of that arm is the flickering snake totem.

He hung on my body, I could only carry him on my back, dragged my heavy steps, and helped him to the bed step by step.

The cold moonlight came in, and seeing him lying on the bed with his eyes closed, his face pale and almost transparent, my heart felt a little tingling.

And it seems that because of his weakness and lack of mana to maintain, his body is slowly turning into its original shape, and the snake scales on his body are beginning to be faintly visible.

"It'll be fine!"

Feeling that his body was getting weaker and weaker, I knew I couldn't sit still, so after muttering something, I stood up and went out the door.

I pulled Zhang Xianren over overnight, and looked at Chu Yuan lying on the bed with long eyelashes hanging down, but Zhang Xianren joked heartlessly: "This is also a rare opportunity!"

Immortal Zhang turned his head and said maliciously: "Now his soul has collapsed, taking advantage of this opportunity, as long as he uses a little tricks, he can destroy his soul. No more worries."

"No!" I interrupted immediately, but realized that I was too decisive, so I quickly said: "He did this because of me. If I do that now, wouldn't it be ungrateful? Besides, I am connected with his fate now, if he If something goes wrong, I will also be implicated."

Zhang Xianren glanced at me with a half-smile, and said sternly: "When I was in the Ba nationality, I heard locals say that snake kings are handsome, but he looks a bit like an old man when he was young. No wonder you girl will Obsessed with fascination."

I looked at the old man with weird eyes, thinking about his short and sly eyebrows when he was young.

Zhang Xianren coughed twice in embarrassment, and said, "Want to save him?"

I nodded: "Can you do it?"

"He's consuming too much primordial energy and is in an extremely weak state. The way to save him is, of course, to restore him to strength. The most urgent task is to restore some vitality to him so that he can wake up."

I know that Chu Yuan was unable to maintain himself due to his vital energy being seriously injured, so his mana began to disappear, and his original shape was slowly revealed. Snake scales had begun to appear on his body.

I wondered: "But, how can I replenish his vitality?"

"Well, there are two ways!" Speaking of this, Zhang Xianren glanced at me with strange eyes, then said after a pause: "Your fate is special and you have his inner alchemy. Essence and blood qi can help him recover his vitality, um... To put it bluntly, it is when husband and wife are needed to achieve the goal of dual cultivation of yin and yang."

"Uh……"

I froze for a moment, my face flushed instantly.

I couldn't help but think about what happened with Chu Yuan, could it be...

What is he doing with me, is it to restore the primordial spirit?

Seeing him lying on the bed now, it seems that he... can't do that!

This sudden thought made me shudder in fright, and I hurriedly shook off my dirty thoughts.

I asked nervously in a low voice: "What's the second method?"

Immortal Zhang said loudly: "Take a bamboo tube, collect a bowl of dew, and give it to him, it can also help him recover some vitality."

"Dew?" I wondered.

Immortal Zhang nodded and said: "Flowers and herbs contain the essence of all things, and the condensed dew is conceived and nourished by the aura of spiritual flowers and herbs, which also contains rich aura."

"You go to collect the nectar condensed by nature and drink it for him, which can also nourish and repair his injured vitality."

This method is feasible, and I immediately agreed.

Zhang Xianren said: "The day is in the morning, and the spiritual energy in the morning is also the most abundant, and the dew will not last long, you have to hurry up!"

Now that he had made up his mind, he didn't hesitate at all. He glanced at the time, and it was almost five o'clock. Although it was not yet dawn, dew had already condensed on the flowers and plants.

After leaving the gate of the courtyard, white belly appeared in the sky, gradually becoming brighter.

There are countless flowers, plants and trees in the mountains. I started to collect flower spirits and nectar from leaf tips along the way out of the village.
