Hearing Chang Ping's scoundrel talk, Xiao Ning'er was so angry she almost vomited blood.
She didn't want things to turn out this way either!
"Chang Ping, thank you for saving me," Xiao Ning'er said, thanking him for saving her life while putting on a loose robe.
Although Chang Ping's words were infuriating, she still had to thank him. If he hadn't rescued her in time, her life would have been in danger.
Speaking of which, what did Chang Ping eat to grow so strong? He actually had eight-pack abs.
Xiao Ning'er gently swallowed.
"Bronze warriors have four-pack abs, Silver warriors have six-pack abs, Gold warriors have eight-pack abs..." Xiao Ning'er was shocked. She hadn't misjudged; Chang Ping really was a Gold warrior.
If he had already reached the Gold warrior realm now, wouldn't he reach the Black Gold or even Legendary realm by the time he graduated?
It was truly astonishing.
"Click!"
Chang Ping maliciously took out a Simple Camera, took a picture of Ning'er's embarrassed state, printed it, and handed it to her.
In the photo, Xiao Ning'er was wearing a loose robe, her small face as red as a monkey's backside, looking very comical.
"You don't need to thank me!" Chang Ping waved his hand generously. "If you had died, no one would have helped me collect Purple Mist Grass. Don't misunderstand, I didn't save you because I have a crush on you." Chang Ping felt a bit guilty. Why did he blurt out the truth?
Wasn't this like protesting too much?
Chang Ping clenched his fist to his mouth, coughed dryly, walked to Xiao Ning'er's side, and picked up the Great Rock Python's corpse.
With a "bang," he smashed the Great Rock Python's hard skull and dug out a thumb-sized, earthy-yellow demon core from inside. He casually tossed it at Xiao Ning'er's feet.
He conjured a straw out of thin air, stuck it into the fist-sized hole, and slurped, greedily drinking the Great Rock Python's brain fluid.
Xiao Ning'er gagged and vomited.
So gross!
Her young heart was deeply traumatized.
What shocked her even more was that Chang Ping actually crawled into the Great Rock Python's skull and began devouring its internal organs from within.
In less than the time it takes an incense stick to burn, he had gnawed the Great Rock Python down to just an empty, rocky shell.
"Eat it!" Chang Ping crawled out of the shell, holding a snake gall the size of an ostrich egg, and presented it to Xiao Ning'er.
She had been swallowed by the Great Rock Python and must have inhaled a lot of poisonous gas. The snake gall had detoxifying properties and could help her.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Ning'er shook her head. "Thank you, but no. Keep it for yourself."
Although her chest felt stuffy after inhaling the poisonous gas, she could still manage. She didn't need to eat such a bloody and disgusting thing.
Chang Ping scoffed. She was actually being picky.
"If you don't eat it, I will!" Chang Ping glanced at Xiao Ning'er and, like eating a persimmon, swallowed the entire snake gall in two or three bites.
"Hoo~ So refreshing--"
Chang Ping let out a hearty roar.
Seeing Xiao Ning'er clutching her chest and sitting on the ground with a pained expression, Chang Ping gritted his teeth and exchanged a box of Furong Detoxifying Ointment from the store.
This was an ointment for treating corrosive poison. Like medicinal oil, applying it to the temples could refresh the mind and resolve internal corrosive poison.
Chang Ping secretly lamented, "Xiao Ning'er is really too unlucky. She was first poisoned by cold poison, and now corrosive poison. Fortunately, the Great Rock Python didn't have poisonous fangs, otherwise..." Could this girl have a constitution prone to poisoning?
Poor girl~
"Here!" Chang Ping handed Xiao Ning'er the small, disc-shaped medicine box and informed her of the ointment's effects and how to use it.
Having been saved by Chang Ping, she completely let down her guard. She unscrewed the lid, scooped out a blob of ointment, and applied it to her temples.
"Hmm?" Xiao Ning'er's eyes lit up.
A cool sensation instantly spread throughout her body. Her chest quickly stopped feeling stuffy; the effect was immediate.
"Chang Ping, where did you get so many amazing medicines?" she asked curiously.
"I won't tell you!" Chang Ping crossed his arms, tilted his chin up, and snorted twice. "You've always suspected I would harm you, so I'm angry and won't play with you anymore."
After listing Xiao Ning'er's offenses, Chang Ping turned and left, leaving Xiao Ning'er sitting awkwardly on the grass.
"Wait for me! I'll leave with you!" Xiao Ning'er got up, patted her backside, and chased after him.
She knew now that Chang Ping wasn't a bad person.
Although Chang Ping told Xiao Ning'er to stay away from him, he still escorted her all the way back to the girls' dormitory.
"Chang Ping, thank you for escorting me back. You're a good person," Xiao Ning'er said solemnly and bowed to Chang Ping.
"I'm not a good person!" Chang Ping put his hands on his hips and snorted. "Don't forget to help me collect Purple Mist Grass tomorrow." He sternly reminded Xiao Ning'er before turning and heading back to his own dormitory.
Xiao Ning'er smiled awkwardly. She hadn't expected Chang Ping to be so petty.
But why wasn't he heading towards the boys' dormitory area? Instead, he was heading towards the instructors' dormitory area?
Gradually, Chang Ping's tall figure disappeared into the thick night. For some reason, after Chang Ping left, she felt an emptiness in her heart.
The night was as dark as a bottomless abyss.
The mentor dormitory area, room 521.
When Chang Ping returned, Shen Xiu was already asleep. However, she had left the door open for him.
But he didn't appreciate it.
"What a silly woman! What if another man barged in with ill intentions?" Chang Ping muttered softly, pushed the door open, and bolted it shut behind him.
Shen Xiu on the bed twitched her ears. Hearing Chang Ping's familiar voice, her heart filled with joy.
She wasn't actually asleep; she had been waiting for Chang Ping to return.
Suddenly, she smelled a foul odor.
"Did you fall in the toilet?" Shen Xiu pinched her nose, turned over, and questioned the dark silhouette facing away from the moon.
Speaking of which, why did Chang Ping always have such a strange smell about him?
Last time it was the smell of sheep, and this time it was a rotten smell.
What on earth had he been doing?
Chang Ping didn't answer Shen Xiu's question. Instead, he asked her, "Did you wash my clothes?" His pants and shoes were now dirty and had been corroded with many large holes by the Great Rock Python's stomach acid. He definitely couldn't wear them tomorrow.
"I washed them, and they're drying on the clothesline!" Shen Xiu replied truthfully. She wouldn't dare not do as Chang Ping instructed.
Angering him would inevitably lead to a beating.
"Good girl." Chang Ping snorted and ordered, "Get the washbasin and shampoo, I need to take a bath."
"The water room is closed now, there's no hot water," Shen Xiu reminded him.
Why did he have to use her shampoo? Didn't he have his own?
"If there's no hot water, then I'll take a cold shower. Stop babbling and get the washbasin!" Chang Ping paused, then asked Shen Xiu, "By the way, do you want to shower with me?"
"No! I'm afraid of the cold!" Shen Xiu gritted her teeth and took the precious shampoo out of her Space Ring, her heart aching as if it were being cut.
Chang Ping savagely snatched the shampoo, kicked the washbasin to the door with one foot, and then dragged Shen Xiu out of her warm covers.
"If you're not showering, don't just stand there, help me scrub my back!"
