757 Visiting the Herbal Field Again
At night, Qin Xi lay in Han Shi’s arms with a red face and panted slightly. “I’m going to Half Cliff Mountain tomorrow. I’ve sent all the spiritual herbs I brought back to the capital. I need to get some more.”
Han Shi gently stroked Qin Xi’s hair and kissed the top of her head. “I’ll go with you!”
Qin Xi shook her head and rubbed her cheek against Han Shi’s chest. “No need. You’ve been quite busy recently. I’ll go with Jiu Yuan.”
Han Shi frowned with a solemn expression. “No, what if the python inside wakes up?”
He was not worried about the Strangulation Array in the herbal field. After all, as long as the array was not touched, it would not be activated.
On the other hand, the hibernating python might very well wake up. At that time, Qin Xi would definitely be in a dangerous situation.
“Don’t worry, I’ve thought about it too. I’ll get Jiu Yuan to go in early. If the situation is safe, I’ll go in.” Qin Xi yawned, feeling that Han Shi was too nervous.
“But I think”
Han Shi was about to say something when he realized that Qin Xi was nodding her off. He looked down and saw that Qin Xi could no longer open her eyes.
“Are you that sleepy?”
Han Shi muttered to himself, but he still carefully laid Qin Xi down. Looking at her sleeping face, he stretched out his slender fingers and ran across her exquisite face. Qin Xi probably felt an itch and scratched her face. Seeing this, Han Shi couldn’t help but lean over and kiss her forehead.
The next day, after breakfast, Qin Xi got into Blood Stealer’s car and went to the suburbs with Jiu Yuan.
To keep her whereabouts secret, Qin Xi asked Blood Stealer to park at the foot of the mountain. Blood Stealer took out the fishing gear and started to fiddle with it. Qin Xi put on an Invisibility Talisman and went to the herbal field with Jiu Yuan.
The two of them arrived at the stone door. Qin Xi first let Jiu Yuan go in to check on the situation. She did not know if it was her imagination, but she felt that someone was spying on them in the dark.
She looked around but did not see anything. She shook her head and felt that she was probably being too sensitive.
On the other side, Jiu Yuan passed through the long passageway and felt the change in the surrounding temperature. Of course, he could not feel it, but he could still see the heat wave.
When he flew to the side of the python, he saw that it was still the same as last time. It did not move at all.
Jiu Yuan took a step closer and reached out to touch the cold scales of the python.
As expected, the python still did not react at all. It pouted. “It seems like it’s still hibernating.”
With that, he floated away.
A minute later, Jiu Yuan appeared beside the python again. Seeing that the python was still the same as before, he left in relief.
This time, he really left.
What Jiu Yuan did not know was that not long after he left, the python suddenly opened its cold and bloodthirsty vertical pupils.
“Be good and wait patiently!” A mysterious and old voice sounded.
