n109 Restraint

nSu Cheng was so angry that he laughed. He said coldly, “Just with your thin arms and legs? Hehe!”

nIn the quiet forest, only Su Cheng’s cold laughter could be heard. Su Cheng used his tail to roll Dong Xi up and brought her to his eyes.

nThe cold vertical pupils looked into Dong Xi’s eyes. Dong Xi could clearly see the big snake’s mouth slightly raised. Su Cheng said jokingly, “Isn’t my body more suitable for doing bad things?”

nDong Xi, “…”

n“Big snake, restrain yourself, your tongue is about to lick my face!” Dong Xi said.

nSu Cheng’s recovered from his instinct when he heard Dong Xi say this, and he held back.

nThen, he flicked his tail and threw Dong Xi on the ground.

nDong Xi sat up and looked at the snake, who did not change in the slightest but was obviously unhappy. She immediately said, “What was that flower just now?”

nDong Xi did not know that snake had only plucked the flower off to make her happy. It was human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and snakes were the same.

n“Andromeda,” Su Cheng said lightly.

nWhen Dong Xi heard this name, she was stunned. She seemed to have seen this name before in a book.

nAndromeda, highly toxic, releases poisonous gas to kill living things.

nHowever, the book did not mention that Andromeda had such great power. What was wrong? Could it be because of that formation?

n“Is it a formation?” Dong Xi raised her head and asked.

nHearing Dong Xi’s question, Su Cheng looked up at Dong Xi and lightly said, “Looks like you have a good eye.”

nDong Xi was a little dissatisfied. She turned her head, indicating that she did not want to pay attention to the big snake.

nSu Cheng did not care and continued, “This should be raised by someone else. The formation is also an illusionary formation with the effect of gathering spiritual energy. No matter if it’s a human or a demon beast, as long as they enter, they will uncontrollably walk towards the lake and eventually become the nourishment of this flower.”

nSu Cheng took out the flower again. He did not throw it directly to Dong Xi, but picked a few petals and threw them over.

nDong Xi looked at such a huge flower, but there were only two petals in her hand. She was a little stunned. She carefully recalled the books she had read before and was even more stunned.

nThe Andromeda was a highly toxic plant, and it had miraculous effects when used to refine demon tools or puppets.

nHowever, Dong Xi was a Righteous cultivator. It was impossible for her to learn these unorthodox ways. What was the use of these petals?

n“It’s pretty, but I’m a cultivator of the Righteous Path, so I don’t need it, do I?” said Dong Xi. “Are you suggesting I just use it to soak my feet?”

nSu Cheng sneered and said coldly, “Oh, a Righteous Path cultivator who carries my inner core?”

nDong Xi’s expression suddenly became a little tense, and he retorted forcefully, “I’m Righteous! Nothing but Righteous! Just you wait! I’ll destroy your inner core sooner or later!”

nSu Cheng was disdainful of this statement. Dong Xi looked at Su Cheng’s appearance and seemed to remember something. She immediately asked, “Why are you in the Secret Realm? Didn’t they say that Foundation Establishment cultivators and above can’t enter?”

nSu Cheng frowned and said coldly, “Don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask.”

nDong Xi looked at Su Cheng curiously for a long time. Then, she suddenly had an idea. She stared at Su Cheng and said, “You can’t be ….”

nHearing Dong Xi’s words, Su Cheng immediately panicked.

nHowever, in the next moment, Dong Xi blinked her eyes and asked, “Is it because you don’t have an inner core, so your cultivation level dropped? Now you’re in the Qi Refinement stage like me?”

nSu Cheng was confused.

nHis originally nervous mood instantly relaxed, and he did not say anything. He only glanced at Dong Xi with an unknown meaning.

nDong Xi blinked, not quite understanding. What was with the snake’s eyes? Could it be that she had guessed correctly, so he was feeling guilty?

nIf the big snake was only at the Qi Refinement stage, why was Dong Xi still unable to defeat it?

nDong Xi carefully thought back to the books she had read in the library. Demon beasts could not cultivate before they took human form, and only had innate skills. They relied on their physical bodies to fight.

nDong Xi suddenly understood, and the body cultivation mentioned in the ‘Feasibility of a Loser’s Counterattack’ appeared in her mind.

nAs expected! The ancients did not lie to me!

nIf Dong Xi could also have such a physical body, wouldn’t she be able to fight with the great snake?

nSu Cheng looked at Dong Xi’s constantly changing expression and did not know what this girl was thinking.

nSu Cheng looked at the dark sky and said coldly, “This petal can repair my inner core. Once it’s repaired, it won’t stay in your Dantian.”

nWhen Dong Xi heard this, she said in surprise, “Alright!”

nSu Cheng saw that Dong Xi was about to eat the petal and could not help but ask, “Have you forgotten that you are an alchemist? You can concoct pills, right?”
