Chapter 277 - 153: Laying Plans and Sending Off
...
Outside the Hundred Herbs Cave, Xu Qing sat by the stone ledge, watching as a flower snake held a clay pot in its mouth, pouring tea into the cup before him.
Xu Qing observed the tea flowing past the snake’s fangs into the tea cup, and thought, luckily he’s a zombie; if it were anyone else, a sip of this would surely knock them flat.
"What kind of tea is this?" Xu Qing sniffed the cup. As a zombie, he rarely drank tea, but this tea seemed unusual.
"It’s morning dew collected by the little Willow Immortals from the flowers and plants in the mountains. I’ve heard that humans who cultivate also consume this, so I use it for hospitality. I hope the guest doesn’t mind."
Xu Qing took a small sip, his expression turning peculiar, "How do they collect this dew?"
The little flower snake seemed unaware of the seriousness of the situation, replying matter-of-factly, "Naturally, with the snake’s mouth."
...
Are you sure this isn’t your saliva?
Seeing Xu Qing put down the tea cup, the small flower snake felt a bit embarrassed, "We often eat frogs and mice, unlike other immortals who drink refined water and red liquor, which we can’t stomach."
"Thinking it over, only this flower dew and some wild fruits are suitable for welcoming guests."
Xu Qing bared his teeth, pondering that they might as well serve him game instead.
