Chapter 371: When a Tiger Falls in Love with a Fox
The Tiger King didn't expect Mu Qianmei to ask him this question, and after pondering for a long time, he replied with an extremely nostalgic tone:
"Because when I first met her, she was still a fox with seven tails, so I called her Seventh Sister, hey, time flies so fast, hundreds of years have passed in the blink of an eye!"
Mu Qianmei then asked:
"Did she ask you to help her a lot?"
Tiger King said happily:
"I like it most when Seventh Sister asks me for help, because she asks me to help, and I can see her!"
Mu Qianmei continued to ask:
"Every time she asks you for help, she says that when you help her, she will go to your Tiger Mountain as a guest, but she hasn't fulfilled it once, right?"
The Tiger King replied with a little loss:
"Actually, I also know that she won't go to Tiger Mountain as a guest, but when I see her, I can't get angry, and if I look for me again, I'm still willing to help her."
Mu Qianmei said leisurely:
"I know, this time, it was she who found you and asked you to help her, that's why you came, right? She lied to you again and again, but you were willing to let her lie again and again, why is this? ”
The Tiger King said suspiciously:
"Because I like her! Isn't it like you humans like someone? Since we have become human beings, I want to be like you, find a soulful partner to live a lifetime, but unfortunately I have nothing to do with her and failed to get married, but I am still very happy, because I know that I like him, so I know that she is lying to me, but I am willing to be deceived by her, deceived and cheated, this life is over, I feel that hundreds of years have passed quite quickly, and it has passed in a blink of an eye. ”
"Hey, I was caught by you this time, and I want to be deceived by her again, probably I don't have a chance!"
There is a bit of complexity in the tone, as if it is a relief, and it seems to be a little reluctant.
Mu Qianmei couldn't help but feel a little emotional, but she didn't expect that the love story of a tiger and a fox would be so touching, so she murmured:
"You're an amorous tiger, but unfortunately, amorous is always ruthlessly annoyed! Why don't you find a tiger and fall in love with a fox? ”
The Tiger King also replied helplessly:
"Who knows? I like her when I meet her, I only have her in my heart, even if I meet a beautiful tiger, I can't find this feeling of love, will humans be like this? ”
Mu Qianmei thought for a while before replying:
"Some people will, some people won't, so from this point alone, you understand feelings better than many humans, but unfortunately, you fell in love with a fox that shouldn't be loved, so you are destined to have an unsatisfactory life in your life, leaving an eternal regret."
The Tiger King asked curiously:
"Do you have someone you love?"
In his concept, he didn't think there was anything abrupt about asking like this, so he asked very naturally.
Mu Qianmei didn't feel that there was anything wrong, she could ask the Tiger King, and the Tiger King could naturally ask her, so she naturally replied:
"Yes, it's my junior brother, his name is Liu Tingfeng, we encountered a storm in the sea, was washed up to Guiyi Lake, and was separated, the reason why the snake king left was to help me go to Guiyi Lake to find his whereabouts, and I don't know if I found it, what I didn't expect is,
As soon as he left, you came here at night to attack his territory. ”
The Tiger King suddenly said:
"It turns out that the Snake King is helping you to find your junior brother, no wonder you will do your best to help the Snake King resist our attack, I hope he can help you find your junior brother!"
The two sides who were still enemies just now chatted so seriously in a blink of an eye, as if two old friends met and chatted, it seemed so natural, the three pythons lying on the side listened quietly, Bing Lan and Jade didn't understand very well, so it seemed to be half-understood, but the golden python could understand, but it couldn't speak.
However, it was already sick, and after this big battle, it now seemed even more depressed, lying on the ground with a spirit and no mind, as if it was seriously injured, and it had hurt the roots, which made people feel distressed when they looked at it.
She didn't sleep all night, Mu Qianmei was also a little tired, she looked outside the cave, it was already dawn outside, it was just dawn, the sun had not yet risen, and there was still a feeling of fog.
At this moment, a figure flashed at the entrance of the cave, and the snake king came to the golden python, held it in his arms, and asked anxiously:
"Jin Yu, how are you? Sorry for coming back late! ”
It turned out that the golden python was called Jinyu, and I saw it shake its head, indicating that it was fine.
The snake king stroked her head pityingly, let it lie quietly in his arms, and then said to Mu Qianmei:
"Little girl, I'm sorry, I didn't find your junior brother, I ran seven routes at the fastest speed in the Nine Palace Array, and I didn't see any figures, and the remaining two haven't walked yet, so I received the message that I am being attacked here, so I shouted loudly to him a few times The name of your junior brother Liu Tingfeng didn't hear any response, I was in a hurry, so I hurried back."
Mu Qianmei replied apologetically:
"The person who said I'm sorry should be me, if it weren't for the Snake King's predecessors to help me find my junior brother, they wouldn't have left here, if you didn't leave, they wouldn't have broken into your territory and launched an attack here, in summary, I dragged down the Snake King's seniors, and it should be me who said sorry to my seniors."
The Snake King shook his head and said:
"This piece of my territory is also out, the Nine Star Forest is so big, everyone wants their territory to be a little wider, so it is common for fights to occur, but then they were all scared by me, so they didn't dare to break in easily, in fact, this is also a matter of time sooner or later, I always have to leave, on the way back just now, I also roughly understood the process, this time I am fortunate to have you, otherwise our losses will be even heavier."
It turned out that on the way back just now, when he passed by the battlefield, many pythons were still cleaning up the battlefield, so they told him what had happened, which surprised him very much, he didn't expect Mu Qianmei to set up the formation so cleverly and beat the other party so badly.
Mu Qianmei replied embarrassedly:
"Actually, it's all the result of the concerted efforts of the brothers and sisters of the snake group, and my skills are too shallow to help much."
But the snake king said sincerely:
"Your role this time is far more important than fighting in person, if you didn't happen to find out that they were coming to attack my snake mountain, if we were attacked, then the loss would be great, maybe this is also the will of heaven, even let you find out in advance. Even if we did, normally we would all stop at the foot of the hill below the entrance of the cave, wait for them to arrive, and then face them head-on
, How would you think of setting up an ambush and attacking on three sides, the other party probably couldn't think of it, so it was caught off guard, with heavy casualties, if it was a frontal battle, this battle would inevitably be a lose-lose result, so, even if I personally commanded here, I didn't do a good job with you, you are the benefactor of our snake clan! ”
"Now, the snakes of the entire snake clan, thank you in your heart, little girl, what reward do you want? As long as I have something in Snake Mountain, I can give you anything. ”
Mu Qianmei immediately refused:
"I already feel deeply guilty for letting the snake clan lose so many brothers and sisters, where can I still take credit for it? And in an emergency, I wore all the wedding dresses you prepared for Jinyu's seniors, and also used your sword and dragon you, without your consent, the sword can still be returned to you, I have already worn dirty clothes, so I can only wait for it to go out, and then customize another set for Jinyu's seniors. ”
The Snake King said with a sad face:
"A suit of clothes and a sword, how big of a deal is that? Moreover, this wedding dress is no longer needed, Jin Yu has no chance to turn into a human form in this life, and it can be regarded as playing its role if it can be worn for you in an emergency, and keeping it is just a thought. ”
Mu Qianmei said in surprise:
"Why doesn't Senior Jin Yu have a chance to transform into a human form in this life?"
The Serpent King replied faintly:
"I think you can also see that Jin Yu and I are both golden pythons, we have been different from ordinary snakes since we were born, it looks beautiful, in fact, congenital deficiencies, in the early stage of cultivation, our abnormal snakes progress faster, but the further back, the more difficult it is, the key is that this congenital deficiency cannot be made up for the day after tomorrow, even if any natural treasure can not make up for it, so Jin Yu and I are always a sick look, even if I have a lot of adventures, I have cultivated into a human form by chance, and I can't change my physique, My skills have not improved for hundreds of years. ”
"The reason why we protect that ginseng plant is because it is there, it can release a rich aura, although it can't help us improve our strength, but it can delay our lifespan a little, otherwise, we would have returned to the underworld a hundred years ago."
"Manpower is sometimes exhausted, so am I, I have thought of countless ways and can't improve our physique, I can only watch us slowly age day by day, if there is no battle today, Jin Yu will probably live for another year, after today's battle, she will only have half a month of life."
Mu Qianmei was surprised and said:
"Only half a month to live? Is there really no other way? ”
The Snake King shook his head and said:
"I've already thought of all the ways I can think of, but if there is still a glimmer of hope, who wants to give up easily?"
There was a sense of helpless despair in the words.
Mu Qianmei thought for a while and asked:
"Since that thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum is useful to you, why don't you just take it, maybe it will get better?"
The Snake King smiled bitterly:
"Void is not replenished, we only absorb the aura it emits, and we can barely stand it, if we take it directly, what is the difference between it and suicide?"
After a pause, the Serpent King continued:
"Actually, we don't have any regrets, compared to ordinary humans, our life span is long enough, and we can love each other for a lifetime, what is not content?"
