Chapter 15 Delivering Medicine
Chapter 15 Delivering Medicine
What to do?
Hey, she's scared!
If we don't feed him, he'll die!
The two little figures were fighting in their minds, but in the end, Lu Jinyan still placed the medicine in front of Mo Xuan, then turned around and went to the kitchen to get a spoon to feed him the medicine.
But when she came out of the kitchen with a spoon, she found that the bowl of medicine was gone. Lu Jinyan looked at the black snake, whose eyes were still closed, and then at the empty medicine bowl.
I breathed a sigh of relief. In any case, I didn't need to pry open the snake's mouth to feed it the medicine myself.
Lu Jinyan carried Mo Xuan, along with the wooden basin, to the room next door that was originally prepared for Chu Chu. Then she carried Chu Chu back to her own room. She didn't want to clean the house today; she'd do it tomorrow. She was exhausted!
I was just thinking of going out for a stroll and relaxing, but who knew I'd end up with this trouble...
Well, it's not really a problem; it's mainly her fear of snakes that's causing the trouble.
In short, now that she has him back, she has to try her best to win him over. But to be honest, she doesn't really know how to win someone over. When she was trying to win over Chu Chu, she didn't put in much effort.
It's mainly because Chu Chu is a rather naive girl. She just chatted with her to keep her entertained, and that's how her favorability towards her increased. But this person is different now; he's going to be a big shot in the future. It probably won't be that easy. But we'll deal with whatever comes our way. Let's heal his injuries first.
After a long day of running around, Lu Jinyan was exhausted. After settling Mo Xuan and Chu Chu in, she fell into a deep sleep and didn't want to think about anything anymore.
In the next room, Mo Xuan opened his eyes after Lu Jinyan closed the door. He looked around the unfamiliar room, his cold, snake-like eyes sweeping around before glancing at the wooden tub he was lying in. His expression was rather unpleasant.
Ha! What audacity! Daring to make him sleep in a wooden tub? He's practically asking for death. He's lived so long and has never slept in a wooden tub before. And what that woman did to him this afternoon still makes him furious.
He was already badly injured, and that woman actually stuffed him into a sack and ran away. If he hadn't been lucky, he probably would have died long ago.
The thought of that woman groping him that afternoon filled him with rage. She had such audacity! How could she treat a complete stranger like that? No one had ever dared to be so disrespectful to him before. If he hadn't been so badly injured, he probably would have slapped her to death.
But then I thought about it again. She was only trying to save me. If it weren't for her, I would probably be bleeding to death or being found by my brother's men. In short, I wouldn't be alive now. Besides, given my current appearance, she might not even know I'm a man. Oh well, I'll let her go for the sake of her saving my life.
Mo Xuan wanted to regain his human form and leave this place; he had more important things to do. But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't transform back into human form, and even the slightest movement caused him excruciating pain.
Left with no other choice, he could only continue to huddle in the wooden tub. It seems that his elder brother really went all out this time. Did he not even care about his only younger brother for that position?
He had never thought of competing with him for anything over the years, so why did they have to try to kill him? He couldn't understand it.
Lu Jinyan, who was just a wall away, was already fast asleep. Luckily, she had the system automatically block all messages before she went to sleep, otherwise she probably would have been kept awake by Mo Xuan's fluctuating affection level.
This was largely thanks to her experience with Chu Chu, which served as a cautionary tale. When she was trying to win over Chu Chu, the girl's favorability rating would inexplicably increase in the middle of the night, and the system's announcements kept her awake.
After a good night's sleep, Lu Jinyan yawned and greeted Chu Chu the next day before getting up to wash up. After washing up, she cooked herself a simple breakfast. Only after eating and drinking her fill did she remember that there was a sick person at home.
So she brewed another bowl of medicine for Mo Xuan, but she hesitated at the door for a long time before daring not to go in. If the system hadn't kept urging her, she probably would never have gone in.
She took several deep breaths before gently pushing open the door and going inside. As soon as she entered, she saw Mo Xuan staring intently at her with his snake-like eyes and a bright red tongue sticking out.
Family members, does anyone understand? Yesterday he was a half-dead snake, unable to open his eyes or stick out his tongue, but now he has opened his eyes, sticking out his tongue and staring at her. The fear he felt was indescribable.
"Oh my god! You scared me!" Lu Jinyan reflexively jumped a long way, almost knocking over the medicine bowl in her hand.
After realizing what had happened, Lu Jinyan felt a little embarrassed: "Ahem, well, you, you're awake? I, I've come to bring you your medicine!" Lu Jinyan moved back and carefully placed the medicine on the table next to her. Then she retreated to the doorway, thinking to herself, "I'm here to bring you medicine, I'm here to save you, please don't bite me!"
Mo Xuan rested his head on the edge of the wooden basin, his snake-like eyes fixed on the woman in front of him. He was too badly injured yesterday and his consciousness was somewhat blurred. He only saw her back and knew that she was a woman with a good figure. Now that he saw her face, he was also very surprised.
He had seen many women, and many beautiful women too. Those who wanted to curry favor with his family sent women to him and his brother all year round. Snakes are inherently lustful, and for their snake clan, women were just tools for venting their desires.
He had received many beautiful women of all kinds, but unfortunately, he had never touched them. Although he was also a snake, he was not very interested in such things. However, the woman in front of him caught his eye.
It gave him a slight impulse to be intimate with her, and Mo Xuan was startled when he realized his own thoughts.
"Ding! Mo Xuan's favorability +1! Current favorability -2! Progress in the conquest is 0. Please keep up the good work, host!"
? ? ? ?
Has my favorability rating increased again?
Giving him medicine increased his affection level? Should she have given him several bowls then? Does increasing affection level mean he won't bite her anymore?
Lu Jinyan glanced at Mo Xuan in the wooden basin, then at the medicine bowl on the table. She decided to strike while the iron was hot and take advantage of his current goodwill towards her to further enhance his positive feelings towards her!
Lu Jinyan gritted her teeth and picked up the medicine bowl on the table again, trying to calm her voice and prevent it from trembling too much.
"Well, well, I, I'll bring you some!" Lu Jinyan said, then glanced at Mo Xuan and saw that he was just staring at her without making any other moves, which reassured her a lot.
Lu Jinyan slowly moved towards Mo Xuan and stopped not far away. She dared not get any closer because she saw Mo Xuan's head move.
Seeing Mo Xuan's forked tongue flicking out, she felt her legs trembling like leaves. She was afraid that Mo Xuan would suddenly jump out and bite her, so she quickly stopped: "I, I'll put the medicine next to you, and I'll leave as soon as I put it down. Don't be afraid, I mean no harm!"
Lu Jinyan swallowed hard, then glanced at Mo Xuan again. Seeing that he didn't move, she trembled as she reached out her hand. Under Mo Xuan's gaze, she placed the medicine bowl in the wooden basin, then quickly withdrew her hand and retreated to the door.
Mo Xuan looked at the woman in front of him, whose face had turned pale with fright, and was speechless. Who was the one who was afraid?
Does he look scary? Why is she so afraid? Could it be that my cultivation level is too high, frightening her?
Mo Xuan felt uneasy about the woman's fear of him. He couldn't explain why, but he felt a tightness in his chest and didn't want her to be afraid of him.
With Mo Xuan's cultivation level, he already knew the woman's true form and cultivation level long ago—well, if even a little bit counts as cultivation level.
A little flower fairy, a little flower fairy with no magic power and no cultivation... It's normal to be afraid when facing a powerhouse many times stronger than yourself. Mo Xuan seemed to have found a good explanation, and his heart felt less heavy.
If Lu Jinyan knew what he was thinking, she would definitely call him a narcissist. She was clearly afraid of him because he was a snake, okay?
If you were a different species, she wouldn't be afraid even if your cultivation level was only eighty-something, or even a hundred. The only thing she's afraid of is that he's a snake.
"Hey, I've left the medicine for you. Drink it while it's hot; it'll be good for your injury. I... I'll go out now and come back to collect the dishes later!"
After Lu Jinyan finished speaking, she ran away as if her life depended on it, as if a dog was chasing her. Mo Xuan was stunned. She had just felt that Mo Xuan's gaze towards her had become even more terrifying, as if she were his prey.
I don't know how the female lead managed to accept him without blushing or skipping a beat.
If she stole what was originally the female lead's role, how could Mo Xuan possibly meet her? If they didn't, wouldn't she be the one who broke up the couple?
No, no, she had to find a way to make Mo Xuan recover quickly, raise his favorability to the maximum, then let him leave, let him meet the female lead, and then live a shameless life together.
She completely forgot that the system had said that if she successfully won over someone, their favorability would be 100%, and their trust in them would also be 100%. How could someone who trusts you 100% and has 100% favorability towards you possibly live a shameless life with someone else?
As for her, once she's completed all the missions, she can flirt with a few fairy brothers and sisters. But it's better for her not to mess with those who are already taken; her life is more important.
She's come to terms with it now. Anyway, she has no ties in that world. If she goes back, she'll just have to continue working like a slave, day and night, to earn money to pay off her mortgage. Life is the same no matter where you are.
