Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Su Jinyue’s heart ached as she looked at Zhan Yihan’s injury and she said, “Let me help you take care of it. It’ll be bad if it gets infected.” Seeing him injured really made her feel worse than being injured herself.

Zhan Yihan bent his head down to look at Su Jinyue. Meeting her eyes which were brimming with tears, his heart skipped a beat. He replied to her, “Okay!” Right now, even if she wanted the stars in the sky, he would help her pluck them without any hesitation.

He slowly helped Su Jinyue up and said, “Can you walk?”

“Yeah!” Su Jinyue smiled and nodded. Her chest still hurt a lot, but walking was not a problem.

“Let’s go to the lake, I’ll clean up your wound with water first.” Su Jinyue held Zhan Yihan’s hand and walked towards the lake. When she saw the dead anaconda nearby, her heart shuddered slightly. This was the first time she had seen a snake that huge. Even though the snake was dead, she could not but still be afraid.

Zhan Yihan felt Su Jinyue’s hand trembling. He tightened his grip slightly and said, “Don’t be scared. It’s dead now.”

“Okay!” Su Jinyue withdrew her gaze. Once she helped Yihan take care of his wound, they should leave this place immediately. This place felt eerie to her and who knew whether other things might appear.

“Master! That thing is in the belly of the anaconda. It should be its snake gall,” Little Elf’s voice rang out out of the blue.

Su Jinyue froze. She then looked at the anaconda again.?Am I supposed to dissect that anacoda’s belly? It’s scary to even think about. But that thing is right in front of me. Am I going to give up just like that?’

“Don’t be scared. I’m right here.” Zhan Yihan reached out his hands and embraced Su Jinyue in his arms. Gently patting her back to comfort her, he said, “Let’s leave this place first. We can deal with the wound when we get back.”

When he recalled the scene of her using the shovel to strike the anaconda just to save him, his heart turned to mush. She probably cared about him, or else how could she not even care about her own life and death. He was an extremely lucky man to have her care so much about him.

Su Jinyue shook her head. With a trace of determination in her eyes, she said, “Pass me your dagger.” If she wanted to become stronger, she could not back down in the face of difficulty. If she dared not even take such a step, there was no point in talking about becoming stronger in the future.

“Why do you want the dagger?” Zhan Yihan asked in surprise.

Su Jinyue took a deep breath and said, “I want to dig out the snake gall. It’s a top-notch medicinal ingredient.”

“I’ll go help you dig it out,” Zhan Yihan said and began striding towards the anaconda. Jinyue had been so terrified just looking at the anaconda. How could he let her go and cut open the anaconda’s belly.

Su Jinyue stretched her hand to hold Zhan Yihan back. She said, “Big Brother Yihan, I will go on my own.” This was her first step and it was necessary for her to do it on her own.

“Isn’t me digging the same as you digging?” Zhan Yihan turned around and looked at Su Jinyue in bewilderment. Even if he dug it out, it would be for her. Besides, he could dig it out faster than her.

Su Jinyue shook her head and rebutted, “It’s not the same! This time, I must do it myself.”

Seeing Su Jinyue’s firm gaze, Zhan Yihan sighed resignedly. He then took out his dagger and handed it to Su Jinyue. “If you’re scared, let me know. I’ll dig it out for you.” Although he did not understand her insistence, he could tell that she was terrified.

Su Jinyue took the dagger from him and walked towards the anaconda step by step. With every step that brought her closer to the anaconda, her grip around the dagger tightened unconsciously.?Don’t be scared. I can do it. I can definitely do it.

Following her by her side, Zhan Yihan’s heart ached a little when he saw her knuckles turning white from holding the dagger tightly.?This silly girl. If she’s so scared, why does she still insist?

Finally, Su Jinyue got close to the anaconda. She took a deep breath and slowly squatted down. Then, she closed her eyes for a while before opening them again. She concentrated and used her X-ray vision to observe the anaconda’s body, in order to determine the location of the snake gall. With trembling hands, she slashed the anaconda’s belly.?Just treat it as if I’m operating on a patient. There’s nothing to be afraid of.

In her previous life, she had also worked as a doctor in a hospital before setting up her own company, and had performed more than a hundred operations. Although she had not used a surgical knife in about three or four years, she had not forgotten how to perform an operation.

With a slash, the blood spewed out. Biting down on her lip, Su Jinyue’s gaze became more resolute and she forcefully made another cut again to extend the opening on the anaconda’s belly.

After a few more slashes, Su Jinyue saw the anaconda’s gall. The snake gall was green and about the size of a baby’s fist, with a faint glow emitting from it.

“This snake gall is so strange, I’ve never seen a snake gall like that,” Su Jinyue said in surprise. Even though she had never seen the gall of an anaconda before, she had seen the gall of other snakes.

When Zhan Yihan saw the snake gall, his eyes narrowed slightly.

“Master, this anaconda is not an ordinary snake. It’s a snake with cultivation. However, its cultivation level is still low. Otherwise, it would not be that easy for the Male Master to kill it,” Little Elf said. f𝓇𝘦e𝑤𝘦𝚋𝒏૦ѵℯ𝒍.c𝐨𝒎

A sweet smile danced across Su Jinyue’s face. She liked that Little Elf called Yihan the Male Master. “Wait a minute. Just now, you said that this is a snake with cultivation? How can Yihan kill it then? Could it be that Yihan is a cultivator?”

“There is such a possibility. There are cultivators on earth, but most of them are ancient martial arts cultivators. My guess is that Male Master is an ancient martial arts cultivator.”

Su Jinyue looked at Zhan Yihan.?He’s an ancient martial arts practitioner?

“Do you want me to help?” Zhan Yihan asked when he saw Su Jinyue looking at him.

“No.” Su Jinyue smiled and shook her head. Whether or not Yihan was an ancient martial artist or not, he was the man she loved. She was happy for him to be outstanding.

After digging out the snake gall, Su Jinyue went to the side and picked up a few leaves to wrap the snake gall in.

At the lake, she did a simple wound treatment for Zhan Yihan and tidied up his clothes. “Let’s head back.” Although they did not find any herbs that contained spiritual energy, it was pretty good to be able to obtain this snake gall with spiritual energy.

“You can carry the basket and I’ll carry you,” Zhan Yihan said. It would be faster for him to carry her on his back. The sky was going to turn dark soon, and this place would be even more dangerous at night.

Su Jinyue glanced at Zhan Yihan’s chest and shook her head. “You’re injured. I’ll walk on my own.”

Zhan Yihan smiled and knocked on Su Jinyue’s head. “It’s just a minor injury. Come on up, or else I’ll carry you on my shoulder.” His injury only looked serious, but it was actually nothing much already. The army’s healing medicine was no ordinary medicine.

“Tyrant!” Su Jinyue feigned anger and glared at Zhan Yihan. She then walked round to his back and lay on it. “Let me know if it hurts. Don’t push yourself too hard.”

“Don’t worry!” Zhan Yihan smiled. Carrying Su Jinyue on his back, he strode towards the direction that they had come from. He already understood his feelings. He would get his mother to go to Dr. Xu to offer a proposal of marriage tomorrow. His Jinyue was too outstanding.. If he did not propose to her early, she would definitely be snatched away by others.
