Chapter 256

256 Are You Sick?

Dong Xi heaved a sigh of relief, and his body felt a little warmer. Dong Xi could not help but ask, “Are you sick? Why did you have to create such a barrier?”

Su Cheng frowned and looked at Dong Xi with dissatisfaction.

However, he did not say anything, and just jumped on top of the Big Snake’s head.

His big tail drooped on Dong Xi’s face.

Dong Xi raised her hand and held Songsong in her arms, and Songsong squeaked.

In Dong Xi’s mind, Songsong’s voice also appeared. Songsong said, “Little Xi! Isn’t Songsong’s illusion very powerful? Did I scare you?”

Dong Xi immediately fell silent.

After a long time, Dong Xi looked at Songsong. Dong Xi gritted his teeth and said, “I suddenly want to try squirrel meat and see if it’s delicious.”

Songsong looked at Dong Xi in shock and said, “Why… Was Songsong not powerful enough? Squirrels aren’t tasty and don’t have much meat.”

Dong Xi looked at Songsong’s pitiful appearance and said with tears of joy, “It’s good that you’re fine. I was so scared that I thought you had left.”

Songsong held Dong Xi’s face and patted her gently. It said, “Little Xi, don’t be afraid. Songsong will never leave.”

When the atmosphere was just right, a cold snort was heard.

Dong Xi suddenly remembered that she had misunderstood Su Cheng just now. Umm…

Dong Xi was a little scared and could only squeeze out a smile. Dong Xi said, “Big Snake, I’m sorry. I’ve mistakenly judged you.”

Su Cheng snorted coldly and said with contempt in his eyes, “You can’t see through such a low-level illusion. If my true body were to cast a spell, you would be trapped for the rest of your life.”

Dong Xi immediately took advantage of the situation and said, “That’s right, you’re right. My cultivation is too low. I can’t even see through the illusion. I’ve judged a good person wrongly. I shouldn’t have done that.”

“Are you saying that I’m a good person in your heart?” Su Cheng’s lips curved up.

Dong Xi immediately shook her head, and Su Cheng’s face immediately darkened.

Su Cheng looked at Dong Xi viciously, as if he would deal with her if she said one more word.

“No, you’re a good snake, not a good person,” said Dong Xi with a serious face.

Dong Xi was very strict about whether it was a human or a snake.

Su Cheng was speechless.

Are you playing word games?

Liu Qing was not as heartless as Songsong. The snake’s imposing manner made Liu Qing not dare to step forward.

Liu Qing stood under the tree and waved to Dong Xi. Dong Xi was about to go over when she heard Su Cheng say, “You didn’t come back for such a long time, and you’re leaving already. When are you going to help me with the healing? Do you really think that I’ve given you my spirit stones for nothing?”

Dong Xi immediately put on a servant’s expression and said, “I was wrong. I’ve been in closed-door cultivation all this time and just came out. If you don’t, I’ll treat your injuries now?”

After saying that, Dong Xi secretly looked at Su Cheng.

He had thought that such a good attitude would make the Big Snake less angry, but Su Cheng’s expression turned even uglier.

“It seems that not only did you forget to heal me, but you also forgot about the pills,” Su Cheng said.

Dong Xi was stunned, not knowing how to explain.

Dong Xi had indeed forgotten. She had forgotten everything when she was cultivating.

“Have you taken all those medicinal pills?” asked Dong Xi.

One had to know that there were still more than a dozen chances to enter the frog statue.

Su Cheng touched the bracelet on his wrist and said, “Of course, the more pills, the better.”

Dong Xi sighed softly. She had to admit that she had led a hard life.

He had no choice. The Big Snake was a financial backer.

Dong Xi looked at the snake, and said in a neither humble nor overbearing manner, “I have to participate in the sect competition soon. I’m afraid I won’t be able to refine pills for a long time, and I can’t treat your injuries. Can you wait until I come back?”

Su Cheng nodded. Dong Xi was surprised that the Big Snake was so easy to talk to.

“Take me with you,” Su Cheng said faintly.

Dong Xi, “…”

Dong Xi looked at Su Cheng in shock, her face full of question marks.

What was the Big Snake thinking? It was a competition where all the sects were gathered. If the Big Snake followed her, wouldn’t it be courting death?

“Really?” Dong Xi asked in disbelief.

“Really!” Su Cheng nodded.

“All the big sects will be there. Aren’t you afraid they’ll find out?” asked Dong Xi with a frown.

Su Cheng’s face was cold, but Dong Xi could still see Su Cheng’s disdain. Su Cheng said, “So what if a few big sects work together? They won’t be able to discover me either.”

Dong Xi thought of the Big Snake’s injured tail and the injuries in its veins.

She did not know where the Big Snake got the courage to speak like this. She did not know if the Big Snake was pretending or not, but Dong Xi did not believe it at all.
