Chapter 467: The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor
Chapter 467: Critical Condition (Part 3)
Mo Yan looked at Xin'er blankly, a buzzing noise ringing in her ears, unable to hear what Xin'er was saying at all. She tried to speak, but not a single word came out of her mouth.
Watching Mao Mao fluttering its wings frantically in front of her, Mo Yan forced herself to calm down. When her brain finally managed to command her limbs, she abruptly stood up and scooped Mao Mao into her arms. Ignoring the cries of Xin'er and the others behind her, she ran straight back to the room and locked the doors and windows.
The commotion woke up the three beasts napping in the cabin. Seeing Mo Yan's state, they quickly got up and surrounded her, emitting anxious noises from their mouths.
Mo Yan paid them no attention. She placed Maomao on the table and, her voice trembling, changed her tone, "Has something happened to your master?"
Mo Yan looked at her, emitting a mournful cry, its eyes filled with unprecedented sadness. Without waiting for Mo Yan to continue questioning, it raised its paw and scratched her right palm, urgency evident in its cries.
Understanding the answer, Mo Yan's mind went momentarily blank, then was immediately awakened by the sharp pain in her right palm. Seeing blood oozing from her hand, she seemed to recall something. Her dim eyes suddenly lit up, and she hurriedly took Mao Mao and the three beasts into the space.
Sure enough, as soon as they entered the space, Mao Mao fluttered its wings and flew straight towards the Black Lingzhi beside the Spirit Spring.
When this Lingzhi was first discovered, it was a vibrant crimson. After being transplanted into the space, it gradually turned purple, then slowly transformed into black. Now, it had completely turned into a deep ebony.
The fragrance emitted by the Black Lingzhi was extremely intense, clearly discernible from several meters away. Mo Yan loved this scent; every time she approached it, she felt as refreshed as if she had just drunk a large cup of Spirit Spring water. Combining this with the reactions of the three beasts and Mao Mao whenever they saw the Black Lingzhi, she knew it was a treasure, whose effects perhaps exceeded her imagination.
At this moment, seeing Mao Mao impatiently scratching at the soil to dig out the Black Lingzhi, Mo Yan hurried forward, intending to uproot it immediately. However, she was stopped by Da Bai.
"Da Bai, that person is very important to me. Can you let me take it to save someone?" Mo Yan looked at Da Bai with reddened eyes, speaking to it in a pleading tone for the first time.
She knew how much Da Bai valued this Black Lingzhi; if not for her intervention, it would have swallowed it long before it was transplanted into the space. If not for Da Bai, she wouldn't have obtained this potentially life-saving treasure. So now, what she planned to do amounted to taking something that belonged to Da Bai. Yet, when she thought of the person waiting for the Black Lingzhi to save their life, she couldn't consider much else.
Da Bai silently glanced at her, then turned its head and softly called out to the nearby Fluffball. As if receiving an order, Fluffball quickly walked over, extending its sharp, long claws hidden under its paw pads, and lightly scratched the edge of the Black Lingzhi, causing a piece about the size of a thumbnail to fall off.
Seeing this, Mao Mao showed no disdain. It quickly picked it up, flapping its wings to leave, forgetting that they were in the space.
Mo Yan didn't know what had happened to Xiao Ruiyuan, but thinking of the severe pain in her heart earlier and Mao Mao's urgent actions now, if it wasn't a matter of life and death, it wouldn't have scratched her palm in such a panic.
Worried that a small piece of Black Lingzhi wouldn't be enough, under Da Bai's disapproving gaze, Mo Yan took another piece and packed it with the previous one in a pouch, tying it to Mao Mao's foot. Then, she fetched a large water bag filled with Spirit Spring water and tied it to the back of a Xiao Hua, which was both fast and strong, patting its head and saying in a low voice, "Xiao Hua, I'm counting on you."
