He Xiuyuan washed himself for a long time.
He even used all sorts of flower petals to wash.
Ying Huaixu watched He Xiuyuan from the side and could not help saying, "I keep feeling you're going to get swallowed again in a bit!"
He Xiuyuan was utterly speechless.
"Can't you wish me something good for once?"
But after saying that, Old He still found it strange.
That unknown beast earlier had swallowed him because it collected treasure.
That was understandable. After all, he had been hiding inside a puppet at the time.
But what had happened afterward?
He had been walking along perfectly fine when a huge bird suddenly flew over and swallowed him whole.
And it had clearly targeted him. The bird had not even glanced at Ying Huaixu beside him.
He Xiuyuan could not quite understand.
"Why is that?"
Ying Huaixu explained rather helplessly.
"That huge bird was probably of the metal attribute. You just absorbed Innate Geng Metal Qi and upgraded your Spiritual Root to immortal grade. To that bird, you were a walking tonic."
He Xiuyuan: "..."
That made plenty of sense. It was perfectly reasonable!
But why was he always the one who suffered?
Still, He Xiuyuan was also glad. His physical toughness was far from ordinary now. At least he could survive a little tour inside a beast's belly.
Of course, that was also thanks to the Defensive Talismans Ying Huaixu had prepared for him.
He Xiuyuan stepped out of the pool and changed into another set of clothes.
"Where next?"
Ying Huaixu looked around, then said, "Let's find Ye Ningshuang. Her Spiritual Root should be fully upgraded by now. Old Ye should be pretty invincible. We'll tag along with Ye Ningshuang!"
He Xiuyuan: "..."
He felt Ying Huaixu wanted to coast again.
