Offering Salted Fish To Master

While she was lying down, Sima Jiao, who had laughed enough, raised his hand and carried her out. The place where she laid was indeed a coffin, or a coffin that looked particularly gorgeous. It was in the central tower on the first floor. There was a bright and strange dragon-shaped candle burning around, and the heavy coffin was in the center. She also saw the picture of Fuxi and Nuwa carved on the wall in front.

Sima Jiao picked her and walked out. The wind from the big sleeves swayed the candles placed on the roadside.

Liao Tingyan thought that she might have slept for one day, but in fact, she had been lying down for half a month. She walked out the door of the central tower and found that all the ruins outside had disappeared, leaving only the endless flat ground. The once empty labyrinth-like buildings had all disappeared, leaving only a half-collapsed central tower.

Liao Tingyan: I woke up after sleeping and found that the earth turned upside down.

The big black snake waited outside, and when he saw them coming out, he twisted his huge body and approached him. Sima Jiao raised his foot and stepped on its tail to walk up, “Go.”

Liao Tingyan: No, where are we going? Why can’t I keep up with the train of his thoughts?

She didn’t even care about being held by Sima Jiao, turned her head and glanced at the central tower and the swaying circle of riyue below, “Shizu, where are we going?”

Sima Jiao was in a good mood, “Of course I am going out. I stayed here for long enough.”

He held the paralyzed Liao Tingyan and said, “What are you afraid of? If I want to kill you, you will die anyway. If I don’t want to kill you, even death will have to give you back alive. Oh, that flower poison has been solved for you.”

Liao Tingyan said, “That was a poisonous flower?!”

Sima Jiao said, “Otherwise, why would you lie there for half a month?”

Liao Tingyan didn’t believe it, not because she didn’t believe that she had been lying down for so long, but because she didn’t believe that the flower was a poisonous one. According to Sima Jiao, wicked people bloom poisonous flowers, and good people bloom spiritual flowers. The one she picked seemed to be the spiritual flower grown from the bone beads of Sima Jiao’s mother. She wasn’t a wicked person at all. She had never killed a person. Also she was kind to others.

“It was really a poisonous flower? Isn’t the evil people who give poisonous flowers?” Liao Tingyan couldn’t figure it out.

Sima Jiao snorted, “I lied to you. How can a person be black and white, and a single flower can determine good and evil?”

Liao Tingyan seemed to be very talkative, and couldn’t help but ask, “How is it then?”

Sima Jiao explained to her, “If the mood before death was calm and happy, the bone beads form spirit flowers, if they had resentment before death, or pain, they become poisonous flowers.”

Liao Tingyan thought of the pool overflowing with blood, and her body was dying from blood loss. Sima E, who was engulfed by flames, fell silent. To be honest, the pain before her death also infected her a little bit, so she still felt pain in her brain.

“By your tone, I think you saw who the owner of that flower is,” Sima Jiao said casually.

He didn’t seem to know that the flower was made from his mother’s bone beads. The bush where he was standing was the bush where a girl wanted to pick flowers before, and had her head cut off. He was standing there. She thought he knew they were flowers from the mother’s bone beads.

Since he didn’t ask, Liao Tingyan didn’t say anything. She just avoided the matter and said, “Didn’t you say that the poisonous flowers have no cure?”

“There are flowers that can detoxify any poison,” Sima Jiao said casually.

Sima Jiao looked at the fallen Liao Tingyan, squatted aside and thought for a long time, but decided to save her, so he picked flowers there and tried for himself. He wasn’t afraid of those flowers, because the flowers were ineffective to the Sima clan. Others couldn’t tell whether they were medicine or poison, but he had the fire of Lingshan. One could taste the smell of the flower. The bitter was the elixir, and the sweet was poison. He just found a bitter one to feed her. He just didn’t expect that she would sleep for half a month.

In the past half month, someone came to the Three Saints Mountain again. Sima Jiao fought with the people and wiped out all the buildings. It wasn’t easy for people to lie in place, so he put them in the coffin at the bottom of the central tower. He used to sleep there for hundreds of years, and it was a place for him to put things.

Although Liao Tingyan didn’t know what Sima Jiao did, she also knew that he saved her this time, and she was a little grateful…

No! Wasn’t the poisoning caused by him? This spicy chicken! (m. trash)

She stroked her chest and realized that something was wrong. Why did her breast seem to be two sizes bigger than before? This heavy feeling was really fulfilling. It was no wonder that she felt chest tightness when lying down.

She hadn’t spoken for a long time. Her expression was heavy, and Sima Jiao’s expression also sank. 

He was a little irritable, “What are you thinking?”

Liao Tingyan said, “My chest seems to have grown suddenly?” 

Her legs seemed to have grown too, and the skin on her hands was more white and translucent, just like a beauty filter.

Sima Jiao sai, “Chest?” 

He looked at Liao Tingyan’s chest for the first time.

Liao Tingyan lowered her head and stared at her chest and wondered if she would touch it, but considering that she was being held by a man, she wasn’t as embarrassed. She saw Sima Jiao with a cold face, reached out his hand and very naturally touched it.

Liao Tingyan:What are you doing? Where are you touching?

Sima Jiao said, “It’s just two balls of meat. What’s the use of them growing so big?”

Seeing the disgusting and disapproving expression on his face, Liao Tingyan smirked at him, “Put your hands down and say that.”
