Chapter 912 - 912: If I Skin You Alive
“Do you think I can defeat that python?” she asked softly as she narrowed one eye and looked at Wei Na.
“You don’t have to defeat it, Master. Aren’t you old friends with that python? Won’t you be able to retrieve its scales after talking to it?” Wei Na said matter-of-factly.
Wei Na wondered why she was so worked up. It was just retrieving some python scales! It was not a big deal.
An Jiuyue felt her anger lodge in her throat and almost raised her hand to slap Wei Na.
The way he suggested discussing this matter with the Auspicious Cloud Sea-Devouring Python seemed too casual. It was almost the same as asking the python to die!
She wanted to know which python could survive after its scales were removed.
“Will you live if I skin you alive?” she asked.
“I can live,” Wei Na replied immediately.
He had an incorporeal form now. He could still live even if she peeled off a layer of his skin every day. He would be in perfect condition the next day.
Why? Was there a problem?
An Jiuyue was extremely shocked.
She should not have asked Wei Na. Asking him was a waste of her time.
“Just because you can live doesn’t mean the Auspicious Cloud Sea-Devouring Python can too! Those are its scales, not its skin that can be shed! ”
“Mmph.” Wei Na was stunned.
His explanation was unclear, so it was not her fault that she misinterpreted it.
“Master, I didn’t make myself clear just now. The Auspicious Cloud Sea-Devouring Python sheds its scales three times during its lifetime. The scales that have been shed are generally useless.
“I mean, according to my estimation, the Auspicious Cloud Sea-Devouring Python in the Black Pact Forest is already big enough. It should have undergone one molting phase, so its scales must still be there.
‘You can go to the Black Pact Forest and have a discussion with it. You can remove its scales and give them to that little thing. Wouldn’t that be the best of both worlds? Don’t you think so?”
An Jiuyue was shocked.
Why did Wei Na not say so sooner? She had no reason to worry.
When faced with a life-or-death situation, demonic beasts could become several times, dozens of times, or even hundreds of times stronger than usual.
If they really attacked the Auspicious Cloud Sea-Devouring Python, they would undoubtedly be courting death.
“In that case, I’ll make a trip to the Black Pact Forest with Jiyun tomorrow,” she said.
There was no other way. They had to fulfill its demands; they could not just try to do so. There was no room for negotiation.
“Do you think I have it easy? I must go to the Black Pact Forest frequently for such a small thing. The paths there are difficult to walk,” she grumbled as she left the space.
Wei Na watched her leave speechlessly and shook his head.
If she was so unwilling, she should not do it. After all, she was not raising that little thing for her own benefit.
“You’re back? How is it?”
After leaving the space, An Jiuyue saw Qian Jiyun sitting beside Qian Yirong. He was picking up food for the two children and letting them eat first. However, the two children sat seriously and did not touch their chopsticks. “Why aren’t you eating? Aren’t you hungry? Eat.”
She smiled at Zheng’er and Rong’er and picked up her chopsticks to give them some meat.
“We’re waiting to eat with you.”
Qian Yizheng looked up at his mother and spoke softly..
