Allure of a Country Maiden-Chapter 420 - 418

"How do you know our essence blood is not good enough? Are you saying it can’t even compare with the blood of a snake?"

Being looked down upon was never a pleasant feeling; no matter in what aspect, men would understandably feel offended. Shangguan Xuanhao expressed his dissatisfaction.

"Do you have a life as long as Xiao Huang’s? And can you beat him in a fight?"

Shangguan Xuanhao: "..."

Forget it! He won’t quibble with a beast. He might as well use the essence blood of the snake. He wouldn’t dare to make himself bleed.

"I’ll go extract the essence blood first, wait for a moment," Xiao’er said to Di Shaowei and others, then turned to Shangguan Xuanyi.

"Brother Shangguan, I need some large mirrors. After finding them, place the mirrors in the adjoining room. Also, lend me a guest room. I need to extract the essence blood."

Shangguan Xuanyi replied, "I’ll accompany you. Xiao Fuzi, you go and find some mirrors."

"No need, it will be done quickly," Xiao’er shook her head. Such a small matter, there was no need for company.

"Animals are unpredictable; what if you get hurt?" Shangguan Xuanyi knew the formidable power of the golden python. He wouldn’t be at ease if he wasn’t there to protect her.

The golden python angered at his comment: You’re the ungrateful one, your whole family is ungrateful!

Xiao’er couldn’t help but laugh.

The golden python, noticing that Xiao’er was genuinely about to extract his blood, put on a pitiful look: "Master, my skin is thick, my flesh is rough, drawing essence blood hurts a lot!"

Xiao’er: "Oh, in that case, to save you from the pain next time, let’s extract a little more this time, and keep it on standby!" frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

By this point Bai Tian couldn’t hold it in and burst into laughter: "Haha... Master, you’re so forward-thinking!"

Golden Python: I feel like dying; living too long is indeed torturous!

Why did I choose a master? A wrong turn led to an everlasting regret. There’s no turning back now!

Xiao’er glanced at the gleeful goose, then at the chaotic surroundings, she couldn’t stand it any longer!

She said coldly, "Bai Tian, for every bit of blood Xiao Huang loses, you will lose the same amount! You are friends, you should share blessings and hardships together. Understand?"

Bai Tian protested, "Master, isn’t it marriages where they share blessings and hardships? This friendship doesn’t sound reliable!"

Yes! Swans are the most faithful creatures in the world. They only have one mate in their lifetime; even the mandarin ducks can’t compare with them. Mandarin ducks find another partner after the death of their mate, but swans do not – they live alone until the end. Therefore, they’re the ones who have mates but lack human feelings!

Listening to Bai Tian, Xiao’er nodded in realization, "Right, almost forgot! Thanks for reminding me, Bai Tian. In that case, Tian Bai will also donate some blood with you!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Tian nearly choked: Stop involving me, I’d rather die than live! Once I’m gone, everything will be settled! I can’t live like this anymore!

Golden Python: "Hahaha, don’t worry, Master. I’ll give as much blood as possible, I promise not to hide anything!"

If it gave too much blood, then the two geese had to do the same! The swan was big and robust – no, tall and mighty! So it can spare to lose a tiny bit of blood; let’s just say it was to promote blood circulation. But the two geese? Their heads weren’t even as big as it! If they had to give a bowl of blood, wouldn’t they turn into dried geese! Hahaha! Preserved dried geese, which it had never tasted before, should pair nicely with wine! This was a massive profit!

Hahaha, it felt so relieved! Its Master was indeed wise and martial.

Bai Tian, just having comforted himself, heard the golden python’s words and was ready to flap his wings again! This snake was indeed asking for a beating!

Seeing Bai Tian’s wings move, Xiao’er quickly warned, "Bai Tian, if you mess up the space anymore, I’ll make your ugly duckling bleed too! The son will pay for his father’s debt!"

Hearing this, Bai Tian was thoroughly discouraged! He realized that since it gave birth, his master’s heart had started to favor others! No, it had to go back to its own nest and huddle with its wife and child in their warm kang bed, to heal its weather-beaten spirit. Or else, it would be psychologically damaged, suffer from postnatal depression, and end up as a patient with mental illness.

Shangguan Xuanyi brought Xiao’er to the study, where she brought out the Golden Python.

"Xiao Huang, what should I do to make it hurt less?"

"Master, give me a needle," returned the golden python.

Xiao’er took out a long and large silver needle, placed it in front of the golden python, and said seriously, "Will this do?"

The golden python, now reduced to a small snake, instinctively shrank back and retreated several steps, "Master, it’s too big, an embroidery needle is enough! Even a bit thinner than that will do."

Was it trying to turn itself into skewered roasted snake? It was just a drop of pure blood that was needed, but a silver needle thicker than a finger almost scared it enough to pee!

"Didn’t you say your skin is golden and bones are silver? I am worried that if the needle is too small, it won’t get through and might break off. These silver needles aren’t cheap to make, it would be bad to waste them, right? Besides, if the silver needle is thicker and longer, the hole it makes would be bigger, so wouldn’t there be more blood flowing?" Xiao’er said seriously, brandishing the silver needle in front of the golden python.

Daring to make such a mess of the space, it really was sick of living!

Shangguan Xuanyi took a look at Xiao’er, hm, she was angry! He took another look at the timid golden python. Did the snake upset her? The needle should be even thicker!

Wow! That scared it to death, the golden python retreated again, "Master, I was wrong, I’ll clean up the space, just change to the thinnest needle please!"

Wah wah, ever since the master rode it, she was no longer afraid of it! How cute its master is to be afraid of it!

The master is too terrifying now!

Only after hearing this did Xiao’er put away the long and large silver needle, taking out a slender silver needle instead.

"Be good, don’t move, I’m going to draw blood!" Xiao’er held a silver needle in one hand, slowly extending it towards the golden python.

Oh, heavens! Lingchi is better than this! Seeing the slowly approaching silver needle, the golden python couldn’t help but tense its body.

"Master, I’ll do it myself! Or could you move faster?"

Hearing this, Xiao’er handed the needle to it.

She wasn’t sure how deep to insert the needle for blood to come out.

The golden python heard this, bit the silver needle with its mouth, then quickly turned its head and lightly stabbed its own body.

Xiao’er quickly took out a small bottle, ready to collect the blood.

She searched for a while before finding a needle hole in the glistening gold, from which a tiny red spot emerged!

Xiao’er was furious! Such a small amount, a gust of wind would dry it up. Could this be counted as a drop?

"Xiao Huang, no blood came out."

Wah wah... it was almost dying from pain! The golden python turned around and saw that the needle hole was too shallow because it couldn’t bear to use force.

Well, it would stay shallow! It wouldn’t harm itself again!

"Master, the flow will increase gradually."

Xiao’er: "..."

Seeing that the golden python really had no intention of stabbing again, Xiao’er could only reach out her hand and pinch hard near the hardly visible pinhole: Look, a droplet of blood appeared.

Xiao’er quickly collected it into the bottle.

"Ah! It’s killing the snake! Help! Help!..." The golden python let out a squeal, comparable to a pig being slaughtered.

"Shut up! Or I will take you down," Xiao’er glared fiercely at the snake, then placed it back in the space.

Seeking soothing, the snake hugged an Ashoka tree.
