Chapter 140: Treasure-hunting Scorpion
The Black Fat Rat eyed Zi Shang. When it saw that he raised no objections, it unenthusiastically retrieved a piece of Blue Stone from its little Bestial Pouch, before tossing it to Ye Jiuge.
Ye Jiuge swallowed the Blue Stone. Then, she said to Zi Shang, “Let’s go!”
Without further ado, Zi Shang went into the water with Ye Jiuge.
Ye Jiuge’s heart was set on returning to her residence at the speed of light, so she swam back to the bank quicker than the time it had taken her to travel from the lake’s shore to its bottom.
After Zi Shang followed Ye Jiuge to dry land, he patted her head warmly and said, “Since you have the Spiritual Flame in your possession now, you should return to your residence obediently and produce some pills!”
Ye Jiuge did not dare provoke the snake with the large hemipenes, so she nodded compliantly. Satisfied, Zi Shang returned to the imprint. As Ye Jiuge breathed a sigh of relief, she couldn’t help but feel glad. Luckily, Zi Shang had not completely recovered his Demonic Power yet. Hence, the time he had to torment her each day was limited. If he could appear beside her twenty-four hours a day, that would be her worst nightmare.
Within Ye Jiuge’s imprint, a shrunken Zi Shang was preparing to cultivate when he read Ye Jiuge’s thoughts. He could not help but smile.
Since Ye Jiuge was looking forward to having him follow her around relentlessly like a shadow, he should not disappoint Little Dumb Dumb! Unbeknownst to Ye Jiuge, her ‘nightmare’ was near.
She could not wait to return to the Zilin Residence so that she could start producing pills.
