Chapter 1660: Chapter 1667: One Night, One Change in the Mountains (2)

If Cai Wei were here at the moment, she would definitely stop her from running, because after being bitten by a snake, to prevent the venom from quickly entering the bloodstream, one must not engage in vigorous exercise.

Juhua knew nothing of this, and ran frantically in shock and fear. Before she could return to the temple, she was already feeling light-headed and weak.

Oh no, a poisonous snake must have bitten her, and the venom is acting up now!

She regretted it terribly; after narrowly escaping from the cliff waterfall, she never thought she would end up dying under the fangs of a small snake. She really ought to have stayed in the temple and shouldn’t have come out.

However, it’s already too late for regrets.

Her footsteps were becoming increasingly heavy; in those few final steps toward the temple, her two legs felt as if they were filled with lead, weighing a thousand gold.

After entering the temple, her last bit of strength was exhausted. She didn’t even have time to close the door before she fell heavily to the ground with a “bang,” passing out…

This time, she thought for sure that she was doomed, because the heavens wouldn’t care for her again and again, snatching her little life back from the clutches of the King of Hell.

However, she calculated wrong.

She really did come back to life again, awakened by an enticing aroma, and when she opened her eyes, the temple was already brightly lit, indicating that the sun had risen high in the sky!

Startled, she hurriedly sat up, immediately feeling a severe pain on her rear, causing her to grimace and cry out “ouch.” Quickly, she shifted her body weight to the other intact half of her buttocks before looking around.

Not far away, the bonfire was still burning brightly, but Mo Zili’s figure was nowhere to be seen in the temple.

Eh? He woke up? But where is he? Where did he go?

Juhua crawled up, trying to stand, but the continuous actions caused her butt to ache again. Instinctively, she touched her rear, feeling the wound was numb and swollen, as if it had already puffed up. However, since there was pain sensation, it should be fine.

“You’re awake!”

Outside the door, Mo Zili came in holding a roasted wild chicken skewered on a tree branch, the chicken looking golden and juicy, just delicious.

“Uh… you also woke up? When did you wake up? How come I didn’t know? Are you… okay!”

Juhua stood straight with the offering table for support, her movements somewhat stiff due to the pain from her rear, forcing her to concentrate her weight on the other leg.

Mo Zili handed over the wild chicken, concisely saying, “I’ve been awake for a long time, have some food to get some energy!”

Receiving the wild chicken, Juhua’s eyes immediately curved into a smile; having food was truly wonderful!

If it hadn’t been for food last night, she wouldn’t have been bitten by the snake. She tore off a chicken leg and started eating voraciously. Though it lacked salt and seasonings, the wild pheasant grilled with the barbecuer’s skilled technique was still fragrant, crispy, and tender, making one unable to resist.

Juhua wolfed down the food, throwing aside all notions of dignity, reserving behavior fit for a lady, everything tossed beyond the Ninth Sky!

Mo Zili, seeing how she devoured the food, couldn’t help but remind her, “Eat slowly, be careful not to choke!”

Being told so, Juhua suddenly remembered, stopping her chewing with cheeks stuffed full, and mumbled out, “Come, you eat too…”

Saying this, she extended the roasted chicken towards the man, stretching her arm but not fully extending it, her face showing a conflicted and reluctant expression, looking as if she wanted to share but also couldn’t bear to, making Mo Zili unable to help but smile wryly.
