Chapter 492: Nearly a Ginseng Spirit (2)_1
The piercing pain made Mo Yan unconsciously furrow her brow as she struggled to get up from the ground. Seeing the blood bubbling out of the back of her hand, she quickly summoned Spirit Spring Water to cleanse the wound.
Before the bloodstains were completely washed away, she caught only a glimpse of a blur before a dark shadow pounced at her like lightning. Before she could react, her right index finger, which was releasing Spirit Spring Water, was enveloped in warmth.
Mo Yan stared with full exasperation at the beast unapologetically gulping down the Spirit Spring Water, a sense of mistakenly becoming a wet nurse for the creature overwhelmed her! O（╯□╰）o
The Black Cloud Leopard didn’t care how she felt, greedily drinking the Spiritual Energy-rich Spirit Spring Water while clasping her finger. It had grown tired of those ’herbs’ over the past few hundred years since it gained Spiritual Wisdom. Had it not been for the lack of an alternative food source, it would have razed that distasteful ’herb’ patch clean long ago. Little did it expect to find a human carrying Spirit Water and resolved to drink its fill.
Driven by strong protective and possessive instincts, Mao Tuan couldn’t stand to see its master ’touched’ by another beast. Forgetting that it stood no chance against the Black Cloud Leopard, it let out a low growl and lunged forward to drive it away, only to be firmly held back by Little Flower, warning it not to act rashly.
The Black Cloud Leopard drank for a good while, until its previously somewhat flattened belly became round and bulging like a ball, before it finally let go of Mo Yan’s finger, satisfied. It smacked its lips as if savoring the taste, licking clean the remnants of Spirit Spring Water around its mouth.
Mo Yan, feeling conflicted, glanced at her still bleeding hand back and then at her shiny, saliva-coated index finger. Eventually, while the Black Cloud Leopard wasn’t looking, she stealthily channeled more Spirit Spring Water to cleanse her finger before continuing to rinse her hand.
The Black Cloud Leopard, as if unaware of her subtle actions, flicked its tail and walked away. Anyway, now that it had encountered this flavourful and Spiritual Energy-filled Spirit Water, it resolved not to let it go and considered this sufficient to forgive the human’s impertinence!
