A Snake Transmigrated as a Scum A - Chapter 59
Fu Man watched her quietly, her silver snake tail swimming silently underwater.
The hot spring water vapor was hazy and misty, and Li Yingxue’s face in her vision was blurred with a sense of dreaminess.
Li Yingxue lowered her eyelashes and let the mysterious and intimate woman in front of her guide her in dual cultivation, regaining her new spiritual energy.
Her gaze fell on the black smoke coming from the tooth hole on her shoulder. The venom gushed out, and against the backdrop of her porcelain-white skin, the venom seemed even darker and more terrifying.
The venom flowed to the surface of the hot spring water, being purified into wisps of white smoke that merged with the water vapor and rose into the air.
Li Yingxue’s gaze followed the rising water vapor and lifted calmly.
The dark aura in the tooth hole had faded into a healthy blood color.
As time passed, Li Yingxue floated in the hot spring, and the dual cultivation began to become strenuous. She couldn’t absorb as much spiritual energy as quickly as her.
They didn’t have the same foundation, and forcibly absorbing the same amount of spiritual energy would only cause her, as a human vessel, to become full and eventually collapse.
So Fu Man had been accommodating her pace.
“Take your time, don’t rush,” Fu Man comforted her.
Li Yingxue looked up, seeing her pale face that had not yet recovered its color, but she still had the heart to comfort her.
“I want more spiritual energy,” she said coldly.
Saying that, she reached out her hands to Fu Man’s armpits and hugged the woman from bottom to top, her red lips pressed against her ear, “Teach me.”
Fu Man was stunned by her action, but was fascinated by her softness and temptation.
She hesitated for a moment, “Are you sure you want more spiritual energy?”
“Yes.”
Fu Man thought that it was indeed time for her to cultivate magic, and the spiritual energy she had absorbed during this period had only nourished her body, making her physically stronger.
“Then you have to establish your foundation, open up all the meridians in your body, and cleanse your marrow. This process will be very painful, but once your foundation is established, it means that you have officially embarked on the path of cultivation, and at the same time, the amount of spiritual energy you can absorb each day will no longer be limited, but endless.”
Li Yingxue stepped back slightly, staring at the woman who was so close to her, looking into her eyes, and asked, “How do I establish my foundation?”
Fu Man glanced at her, “The first step to establish a foundation is to prohibit sexual intercourse.”
Li Yingxue: “…What do you mean?”
Fu Man explained with actions, and her snake tail quietly retreated.
Li Yingxue: “…”
Li Yingxue lowered her eyes, staring at the water surface expressionlessly. After a moment, she asked, “What’s the second step?”
Fu Man: “Calm your mind and cultivate your concentration. After a hundred days, your foundation will be established.”
Li Yingxue: “A hundred days? Three months?”
Fu Man: “Yes, it takes a hundred days to establish a foundation, but don’t worry, I will guide you and won’t let you go wrong.”
Li Yingxue frowned and thought deeply, “Then what about your cultivation?”
If sexual intercourse is prohibited, then wouldn’t this woman be unable to soothe her agitated aura with her pheromones?
Fu Man leaned lazily against the pool wall, “Then I’ll postpone my cultivation and we’ll dual cultivate again after you’ve established your foundation.”
The meaning of this is… she will stay here for an additional three months on top of the half year period.
A flash of joy appeared in Li Yingxue’s eyes, and then she thought of the black snake, and her brows furrowed, “That black snake…”
Fu Man thought she was worried that Xu Anji would come to cause trouble again, so she reassured her, “She is seriously injured, and it will take at least three months for her to recover.”
Li Yingxue: “Can’t we eliminate her completely?”
Fu Man looked at her seriously discussing with her, and smiled lightly, “I can only find her if I can find her. I’ve fought with her more times than you’ve eaten salt, and every time she loses, she runs away, and her escape poses are different each time, so I can’t guard against it.”
She could almost never catch her.
“I’ll help you next time.” Li Yingxue pursed her lips.
Fu Man looked at her deeply. Ordinary people, including her former loyal subjects, would not dare to confront that cunning black python directly, let alone say things like helping her. Yet, this human Omega, after witnessing the black python’s power, said with certainty, “I’ll help you next time.”
Although she knew that Li Yingxue’s current strength was not enough to confront that stinky snake, for some reason, she admired Li Yingxue.
Fu Man felt happy, “Alright.”
As night fell, Li Yingxue felt a little hungry.
Fu Man used her spiritual energy to repair the two tooth holes and took her upstairs, “Let’s eat first.”
“Okay.”
After experiencing a series of events in the afternoon, only the two of them were sitting quietly at the dining table.
Grandma had already gone to sleep, and A Ci had returned to her room to rest.
While eating, Fu Man suddenly flashed back to the scene of Li Yingxue being choked by the black python’s neck. She stopped eating and looked at Li Yingxue, just wanting to ask if her neck was okay.
“Li—”
As soon as she said a word, she noticed that Li Yingxue was swallowing with difficulty.
Although she tried to hide it, her furrowed brow betrayed her.
“Li Yingxue.” Fu Man put down her chopsticks, stood up, and bent down to naturally touch her neck with one hand and her back of her head with the other.
Her tone was faintly reproachful, “Why didn’t you tell me.”
Because she was standing, Li Yingxue could only look up at her, “It’s just a little painful. I was going to go to the hospital after dinner.”
“Why go to the hospital, I’ll help you now.” Fu Man wanted to use her spiritual energy to heal her, but Li Yingxue stopped her.
“No need, you’ve consumed a lot of spiritual energy fighting today, don’t waste it on me, I’ll just go to the hospital and see a doctor.”
A Ci said that to maintain their human form, they needed a continuous supply of spiritual energy, and the heavens would also impose restrictions on them, causing them to lose spiritual energy every day even if they did nothing.
Once their spiritual energy was completely depleted, they would completely turn into a snake. Because of the suppression of the heavens, once they turned into a snake here, they might never be able to transform back, and all their spells and cultivation would be lost and they could no longer continue to cultivate.
Moreover, if Fu Man wanted to break through to the God Transformation stage, she would have to consume a lot of spiritual energy to cultivate. It would not be wise to waste her spiritual energy on such a small matter.
Li Yingxue pushed her hand away and continued to eat.
Fu Man was stunned for a second, and then grabbed her wrist and pulled her up, “Then let’s go to the hospital now, let’s see a doctor first and then eat.”
Li Yingxue was forced to follow her and got into the car.
“Fasten your seatbelt,” Fu Man told her, stepping on the gas and driving off.
When they arrived at the hospital, Fu Man held her hand and looked at the signpost for the registration process for a while. After figuring out how to register, she took Li Yingxue to register and find a doctor.
Li Yingxue carried a bag and followed her all the way. When she needed her ID card, Fu Man took her bag, “Give me your ID card.”
Feeling that Li Yingxue was too slow in turning over her bag, Fu Man simply took it over and searched for it herself. After finding it, she held it in her hand and looked at it for a while. Seeing the youthful face at the age of 18, Fu Man looked at it carefully for a long time.
“How old were you when you took this photo?”
Seeing her staring at the photo, Li Yingxue’s expression turned unpleasant. She just wanted to take it back, and her red lips pressed down coldly, “Give it back to me, you’re not allowed to look.”
She took the ID photo at the age of 18. At that time, she was still a plain student, without even drawing her eyebrows or putting on lipstick.
“Why can’t I look?” Fu Man asked back, and seeing her unhappy expression, she became even more puzzled, “Isn’t it pretty?”
Then, Fu Man turned it over and looked at it for a few more times. The Li Yingxue in the ID photo, although still a little immature, was full of the vitality of a young girl.
Without makeup, her eyes were bright and her gaze was full of life.
Fu Man looked up at Li Yingxue in front of her. At the age of 24, Li Yingxue had a more mature and outstanding temperament, her eyes were always cold and distant, keeping a distance from people, and the corners of her red lips under her sunglasses added a bit of nobility and arrogance.
Fu Man was even more curious about how old she was in this photo, “Li Yingxue, how old were you when you took this photo?”
“Eighteen.”
Li Yingxue glared at her and snatched it back without saying a word, and went to the window to register. After getting the registration slip, she went straight to the ENT department on the third floor.
Fu Man followed her with a raised corner of her mouth.
While riding the escalator, Fu Man lagged behind, a few steps behind Li Yingxue. As she raised her eyes, she saw Li Yingxue’s ankles and high heels, and then her curved hip line.
Fu Man looked away and looked elsewhere, unconsciously swallowing.
They soon arrived on the third floor, and Li Yingxue pushed open the door of the doctor’s diagnosis room.
The doctor examined her with a professional flashlight and then checked her throat. Finding obvious pinch marks, he was startled and looked at Fu Man beside him, then at Li Yingxue, “What happened to your throat?”
Li Yingxue said concisely, “I was strangled.”
The doctor glanced at Fu Man again, “Did she do it?”
Seeing Li Yingxue looking at herself, and then glancing at her with a rather unfriendly look, Fu Man had to explain, “It wasn’t me, how could I dare to strangle her.”
Li Yingxue looked away and looked at the doctor expressionlessly, “Doctor, it wasn’t her.”
The doctor smiled awkwardly and began to diagnose, “There is local soft tissue damage. Apply ice pack for 24 hours, then hot compress for 24 hours, and drink plenty of water.”
Li Yingxue said, “Okay.”
Fu Man frowned, “Is it that simple? She’s having trouble eating.”
The doctor put his hands on the table good-naturedly, “Are you a doctor or am I a doctor?”
Fu Man wanted to say, so what if you’re a doctor, you can also make mistakes, and can you compare with her using spiritual energy to directly heal? But before she could speak, her wrist was grabbed and pulled.
“Let’s go.” Li Yingxue said coldly.
Fu Man had no choice but to follow her, “Don’t you think this doctor is a bit perfunctory? Just apply ice packs and hot compresses?”
She didn’t even need to take any pills.
Li Yingxue let go of her and folded her arms, with the bag slung over her shoulder, “It’s not a big deal, what else do you want?”
Fu Man couldn’t understand, and was a little worried, “Or should I use my spiritual energy to help you?”
“Then why did I come out?”
“…” Fu Man tried, “How about we treat it as a walk?”
Li Yingxue turned and left.
Fu Man followed, “Li Yingxue, I’m just trying to help you.”
Li Yingxue suddenly stopped and looked straight into her eyes, “Fu Man, I know you have abilities, but… can you try to believe in the technology here?”
Fu Man didn’t understand why she said that, “Why are you suddenly saying this?”
Li Yingxue opened her mouth, thought for a moment, and then said, “I hope you can like more things here, technology, culture, humanities, customs… even if you go back, you can still miss them.”
Instead of throwing them away and not caring.
Fu Man looked at her deeply, not knowing what she was thinking, but she agreed, “Okay, I’ll try to understand your technology, culture, humanities, and customs… and try to find things I like.”
