Chapter 359: Qian Dafang, You Have No Heart!
CHAPTER 359: CHAPTER 359: QIAN DAFANG, YOU HAVE NO HEART!
Moyu also felt guilty.
It rubbed its little wings, trying to please, "Contractor, look on the bright side. Although the duration of diarrhea has increased, the time guaranteed for successfully making Water Breath Magic Potion has also extended! You can hand-mix the potion within 24 hours~"
Qian Qi leaned against the wall and smiled faintly, "Look how weak I am. Do you think I have the strength to hand-mix potions?"
Moyu coughed lightly, "Contractor, you have to believe in yourself. Just drink more hot water and eat more food, guaranteed you’ll be back to life in two hours!"
"And I also wanted to see how powerful my Curse Skill could be. You, as the contractor, didn’t bother to learn about my skills, so as a Contracted Beast, I naturally had to find the opportunity to experiment myself~"
Moyu spoke eloquently, then showed a helpless and sighing expression, "If you spent millions to unlock the ’Crowing Guide,’ wouldn’t you suffer less? Think about it, you save millions by having diarrhea for 5 hours, isn’t that a bargain!"
Qian Qi: ...
So should I be thanking you?
"Oh, right!" Moyu suddenly remembered something, its crimson eyes sparkling, "Why not have Bone Mother feed you some nutritional meat? Guaranteed the remedy will ’remove’ weakness and allow you to fight for another 13 hours!"
"13 hours?" Qian Qi was suspicious, "Shouldn’t it be 18 hours?"
The buff validity was 24 hours, she had only used 6 hours?
Moyu fluttered its little wings, looking innocently at her, "Didn’t you have diarrhea for 5 hours straight? I can’t be sure whether those 5 hours count within the 24—Why not try, Contractor?"
Qian Qi: ...
Qian Qi pounced like a tiger, "Dog Moyu, prepare to die!"
Moyu quickly flapped its wings high into the sky, its voice hurried, "Haha, Contractor, you seem to have a lot of energy~ Keep it up~ Yaya will cheer you on mentally~"
"Get your ass down here!" Qian Qi shouted angrily, chasing Moyu madly, and she accidentally bumped into a rock-hard chest.
"What are you doing?" Gong Qiang rubbed his aching chest and hissed softly, "Why is your head so hard?"
"Brother Qiang?" Qian Qi saw the person clearly and couldn’t help but rub her nose, covering half her face, pretending to be strong, "It’s nothing, just getting some morning exercise."
"Exercise?" Gong Qiang looked at Qian Qi’s extremely pale face and her bloodless lips, frowning, "You didn’t spend the whole night making magic potions, did you? No, an all-nighter shouldn’t make you this weak. Does making magic potions have any side effects?"
"Ah." Qian Qi sighed deeply, waving her hand with an air of weariness, "Not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning, I’ll go get the potions for you all..."
The more Qian Qi denied it, the more Gong Qiang felt there were side effects from making magic potions, because in his eyes, the more this kid pretended to have a problem, the less there was, and conversely, the more "he" pretended nothing was wrong, the more there actually was.
Gong Qiang, who disliked calculations, didn’t know there’s a type of person in this world who pretends nothing’s wrong, which means nothing’s wrong, and is actually scheming a bigger plan.
"You should rest well, you can’t fall apart!" Gong Qiang directly carried Qian Qi onto his shoulder and headed toward her cabin, "Have a good sleep, leave the rest to me."
"Brother Qiang..." Qian Qi was deeply touched, her voice hoarse as she said, "Don’t worry, I will make sure everyone gets to use the Water Breath Magic Potion..."
However... her voice was touching and resolute, but her face slowly revealed a sinister smile, "By the way, Brother Qiang, there’s something I’d like to ask you for help with..."
"What is it?" Gong Qiang placed her on the bed, tugged the quilt over her, and even carefully tucked in the corners.
Qian Qi was skinny and small, not looking like a 20-year-old at all. Sometimes Gong Qiang watched her frail figure, always feeling a sense of loneliness, reminding him of a little brother he cared for during wartime. Because the brother was outstanding, he was prematurely sent to the battlefield where he fought hard and ultimately exhausted himself to death.
That’s why Gong Qiang didn’t want Qian Qi to die from exhaustion in the instance either and started to spoil and take care of her.
This situation inevitably made Qian Qi’s conscience feel guilty, but unfortunately, such a conscience sometimes needed abandoning, especially right now.
She flipped around, opened the drawer at the bedside, and in a flash, she pulled out a piece of nutritional meat, shoving it directly into Gong Qiang’s mouth.
Gong Qiang: ...
Gong Qiang: !!!
"Ugh—" Gong Qiang dropped to his knees in front of the bedside cabinet, gagging, "Qian Dafang! I shouldn’t have trusted you—!"
"Brother Qiang, don’t be angry with me." Qian Qi reached for another piece of nutritional meat, stuffed it into her mouth, closed her eyes in determination, swallowed it, and also knelt by the bed, dry-heaving towards the floor, "Ugh—! I really lack the courage to eat it alone! I need someone to eat it with me!!!"
"Ugh—you bastard! Why didn’t you ask Su Ang to eat it with you!"
"Ugh—he would eat it emotionlessly, I’d look pathetic dry-heaving alone! Of course, I’d pick someone who could look foolish with me!"
Gong Qiang: ?
Qian Dafang, you have no heart!
After both finished gagging, they used mineral water to rinse their mouths frantically, finally dispelling the shadow from their mouths, Qian Qi smacked her lips, "You know, it’s quite smooth? Although it lacks flavor, it should taste good with a bit of spicy sauce? Or maybe with some Magic Honey?"
"Hmm..." She rubbed her chin, "Next time, the Essence Demon Salt should be made into spicy sauce flavor and Magic Honey flavor~"
Gong Qiang was utterly confused, "What is Essence Demon Salt?"
"Hmm... it’s a kind of homemade seasoning, you know how some Demon Beast meat is hard to eat." Qian Qi didn’t explain further, as she had signed a confidentiality agreement with Wei Bisheng; unless a special situation arose, she wouldn’t disclose her research on Essence Demon Salt to others.
"Okay." Gong Qiang didn’t ask more, his eyes glimpsing her gradually rosy cheeks, "This nutritional meat is indeed good."
Just a few minutes later, Qian Qi’s vitality and energy had fully returned.
Qian Qi touched her cheeks, and indeed, after swallowing the nutritional meat, she felt all her missing strength had returned. And this was just the effect of D-level nutritional meat.
A-level—she dared not even imagine its potential.
Qian Qi couldn’t help but think of Qian Ba in the Beast Taming Space, after eating that Rainbow Ball, it began fevering and sleeping.
These days, its muscles and fur were growing crazily, especially its soft silver fur which flourished rapidly, winding Qian Ba sleeping in the space into a round, puffy furball.
Each time she saw it, she couldn’t help but want to touch it, but alas, as a Beast Master she couldn’t enter the Beast Taming Space, she had to temporarily abandon the idea in tears.
"Oh, by the way, these are Water Breath Magic Liquids." Qian Qi pointed to the two large thermoses and two military water bottles fixed beside the bed, advising, "5ml is enough to provide two hours of underwater breathing, you’ll need to replenish after time runs out."
