Xilingyue's handsome face changed, and her eyebrows deepened.
The man didn't look at him, he just snorted coldly: "You should know my rules."
"But she is different." Xi Lingyue emphasized with narrowed eyes, clear eyes.
"What's the difference?" The man glanced at the dying fiery snake in his palm. "The anger is strong, the energy and blood are attacking the heart, and the heart is broken. Let alone a snake, it's a human being. I don't like it, so I won't save it."
"But she is..." Human.
Xilingyue took a step back in defeat.
Just how to tell him this, he lowered his head, and his fingertips couldn't help but lightly brushed her snake body. I don't know if it was his imagination, but he suddenly felt her snake body move.
I couldn't help but call out softly: "Li'er?"
"..."
But what answered him was only the cold air.
He closed his eyes in disappointment.
"You are really sick, and you are talking to a snake."
The man sat back down by the medicine stove again, his green eyes slightly raised, extremely impatient, "When will you make that request? I can leave once I fulfill that promise."
"...I will mention it now."
Xi Lingyue lowered her head. He didn't understand why she was in good health before going to the palace, so just spitting out a mouthful of blood would lead to Leng Yi's heartbreak.
"..." When the man heard this, his green eyes narrowed, and a light of surprise flashed past him.
"You must think clearly, keep that request, even if you die, I will still have a way to save you. But if you use that request to save this snake now, even if you die in front of me in the future, I will not
Take a look at you."
"I know."
Xi Lingyue stood up slowly: "Originally, I didn't expect to get anything in return from you."
It just saved his life because he had to make a request himself.
He originally thought he wouldn't need it at all, but now he is grateful that he saved the ghost doctor. Otherwise, why would he have no other way now?
"Start..." Let's start.
"I don't need his help."
Just when Xi Lingyue wanted Leng Yi to quickly save Qing Jiu, a weak but firm voice suddenly sounded in the room.
Xi Lingyue was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head and saw her weak but open snake eyes. Surprise flashed across her eyes, "You...are you awake?"
"Yes." Qing Jiu lay softly in his palm and nodded her little head.
The man on the side was playing with the white-glazed medicine bottle in his hand boredly. When he heard that sound, his hand suddenly froze, and he didn't even realize that the medicine bottle fell to the ground.
After a while, he suddenly raised his head and looked at the fire snake. Surprise flashed through his green eyes. A talking snake?
Even though he was a ghost doctor who had brought the dead back to life, he still couldn't resist the inexplicable excitement in his heart when he saw this weird thing.
Will I ever see a talking snake in my lifetime?
"Xilingyue, let me help you save it!"
He stood up abruptly, his cold mask covering his face so that his expression could not be seen, but his green eyes were very bright.
The flash of enthusiasm made him look completely different from the indifference just now, as if his whole person was about to burn.
When Qing Jiu heard what he said, she slowly tilted her head and looked at him, her red snake eyes turning faintly.
He narrowed his eyes and snorted: "But I... don't need your help!"
Her voice was too childish and not threatening, but for some reason, it made the man feel that the temperature around him had dropped a lot.
