Leng Yi withdrew his gaze and tapped the snow leopard with his chin, "Don't worry, it's not dead yet. With this ghost doctor here, it won't die."
After saying that, without waiting for Xiao Qi to speak, he squatted down and was about to reach out to pick up the fire snake. However, when he saw the blood stains on his palm, he raised his eyebrows, walked aside, and cleaned it carefully before picking up the fire snake.
He said softly: "...It's okay."
Qing Jiu said nothing, the smell of blood spreading in the air made her dizzy.
Ever since that time when she watched Xiao Yuyan carve out her heart and take out the snake heart, and saw the dripping blood, she felt a sense of resistance to blood, and even disliked the sight of blood.
She took a deep breath and then raised her head. Her blood-red eyes were bright, but rare and gentle.
When Xiao Qi on the side saw this, his eyes darkened.
Although he had decided not to regard the snake as a snake anymore and only looked at it from a distance, when he saw her fiery red snake body, just staying there so quietly, he still felt like there was something stuck in his heart.
It gave him the urge to run away.
So, he looked at Zhu Chi who was waiting quietly and said, "Carry Xue Twenty back."

At night.
Qing Jiu was lying outside the Huayin Palace, raising his head and looking at the pitch-black sky.
This was the second day she came to the palace again. Her mood was completely different from the first time she came to the palace. The first time she was confused but excited. The unknown joy made her excited. But at this moment, it was just a matter of time. After more than a month, she felt as if she had experienced two lifetimes, and she just felt tired. Especially when she saw Xue Er crawling there silently during the day, it reminded her of the day she was lying coldly on the crystal coffin.
Are you as helpless as that?
But Xiaoqi, when he saw her like that, how cruel did he have to be to be so heartless?
There seemed to be something suppressed in her chest, and she continued to vent.
Determination flashed in her red eyes. She didn't want to stay in this palace for a moment anymore. She should start her plan tomorrow.
She tilted her head and looked at Leng Yi in the hall. He was leaning there crookedly, holding a medicine book in his hand. Only a shadow was reflected on the window lattice, which inexplicably made her feel more at ease.
Then the snake turned around and began to swim towards the outside of the temple.
An hour later, Qing Jiu came back from the realm outside the world, her body still smelling of the scent of purple kites. She washed herself in the pool outside before returning to Huayin Hall.
However, before she swam in, she felt that the atmosphere was very different.
The lights in Huayin Hall were brightly lit, the atmosphere of strangers was very strong, and there were a few familiar people.
She swam in, and as soon as she raised her snake eyes, she faced the people in the hall.
Silent Xiao Qi, Xiao Yuyan with his head lowered, Leng Yi with calm green eyes, and... Mu Yan'er who was lying delicately on the soft couch with a face as pale as paper.
She calmly narrowed her snake eyes, lowered her pointed head, and slowly swam back to her nest like an ordinary snake.
But, she just finished it.
Hearing Xiao Yuyan's very cold voice, he stood up, straightened his back and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, please do justice to Miss Yan!"
"..." Xiao Qi said nothing, but only narrowed his eyes.
Xiao Yuyan closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "This fire snake was not in Huayin Hall an hour ago. It must have bitten Miss Yan! If I hadn't happened to go to follow up with Miss Yan, I'm afraid Miss Yan would have... "
Before he finished speaking, Mu Yan'er seemed to have thought of something and cried aggrievedly.
