Chapter 312 Where Did This Little Thing Come From?
Or, to be more precise, it was Luo Qianmo who held Fang Qingyou's hand, making every step she took safe.
Yes, the two of them were working together to harvest the Seven Star Purple Ginseng.
Originally, Luo Qianmo wanted to pick the fruit himself, but Fang Qingyou insisted on going instead.
She couldn't compromise. Luo Qianmo didn't understand medical principles, medicinal herbs, or even Seven Star Purple Ginseng.
She felt that sending him to pick the Seven Star Purple Ginseng was no different from having him violently pluck it out.
Fang Qingyou tried her best to overcome her fear. When she got close to the Seven Star Purple Ginseng, the feeling of half-stepping into thin air and half-landing made her involuntarily tense up.
With careful observation, the gaze traveled down the plant of the Seven Star Purple Ginseng, searching for its roots.
After finding the root, Fang Qingyou gently dug away the surface gravel and soil with her hands.
Soon, some of the roots of the Seven Star Purple Ginseng were exposed to view.
The delicate, soft purple wisps caught Fang Qingyou's eye, bringing a surge of joy to her face. If she could harvest this Seven Star Purple Ginseng intact, perhaps she could even ensure its continued survival.
Fang Qingyou suppressed her joy and continued digging more gently, unwilling to tear off even a trace of the purple color.
Gradually, Fang Qingyou forgot that she was standing on the edge of a cliff, where one wrong step could send her shattering to pieces.
Compared to Fang Qingyou's complete absorption, Luo Qianmo was extremely nervous, his nerves taut.
He had never been so nervous when facing death before, but this time, he felt fear.
Yes, he was afraid. He was afraid he couldn't protect Fang Qingyou, afraid he would never see this little woman again.
No matter what, he would never allow anything to happen to her.
Fang Qingyou dug deeper and deeper until she finally revealed a purple root shaped like a human. Judging from its shape, it looked like a person sitting cross-legged in meditation.
Fang Qingyou's expression brightened, but her movements became even gentler. Just as she was about to completely dig out the Seven Star Purple Ginseng, she suddenly felt her body lurch backward.
This sudden movement caused the Seven Star Purple Ginseng to lose the support of the soil and instantly collapse to the ground.
However, Fang Qingyou couldn't immediately pay attention to the Seven Star Purple Ginseng, because she suddenly heard a sharp sound of something cutting through the air.
Her intuition told her that something must have happened.
Fang Qingyou looked in the direction of the sound of something breaking through the air and found that a snow-white animal had suddenly appeared out of nowhere, moving as fast as lightning.
The animal appeared to be lunging at her, but just as it was about to reach her, it was stopped by a hidden flying sword.
The animal reacted exceptionally quickly, dodging the flying sword in time.
The flying sword grazed past him and fell into the clouds below, disappearing without a trace.
"Hiss—" But the animal, blocked, bared its teeth and hissed.
The cry was sharp and angry.
At the same time, Fang Qingyou was pulled into Luo Qianmo's arms and held tightly.
Fang Qingyou didn't have time to thank Luo Qianmo. She looked at the small but fierce animal in surprise and asked, "Luo Qianmo, where did this little thing come from?"
"I didn't see it clearly," Luo Qianmo replied calmly, though he was equally nervous.
Just as Fang Qingyou was about to pick the Seven Star Purple Ginseng, this little beast suddenly appeared out of nowhere. He had been watching Fang Qingyou closely, fearing that she might accidentally fall off the cliff, but he hadn't expected that there was danger outside as well.
Fortunately, he had keen senses and quick reflexes, otherwise this little beast might have pounced on Fang Qingyou.
He hadn't yet discerned what the little beast was, but such a swift creature was probably no pushover.
If they were on the ground, he wouldn't have given this little beast a second thought, but they were currently on the edge of a cliff.
The rock is too small. If the fighting is too volatile, it could cause Fang Qingyou to fall off the cliff or the rock to shatter.
The stone was indeed not very sturdy, and what he said back then was not entirely meant to scare Fang Qingyou.
Therefore, Luo Qianmo was somewhat wary of this little beast, but while he was wary, he was not afraid of him.
"Youyou, don't be afraid, I'm here." Luo Qianmo held Fang Qingyou with one arm, and two flying swords appeared in his other hand.
Fang Qingyou's lips twitched, but she didn't say anything. She was indeed a little scared, so she simply ignored the ambiguous term of address.
Luo Qianmo's frost-like gaze was fixed coldly on the little beast, not giving it any chance to get close to Fang Qingyou.
The animal dodged the flying sword projectile that Luo Qianmo had shot out, paused slightly, and then pounced on Fang Qingyou once again.
However, this time it seemed to know the danger to Luo Qianmo, and it leaped over Luo Qianmo and pounced directly on Fang Qingyou from the front.
Seeing through the little beast's intentions, a cold glint flashed in Luo Qianmo's eyes, and he was about to launch his flying sword at it again.
However, the little beast seemed to be particularly sensitive to danger, and with another leap, it moved from directly in front of Fang Qingyou to her side.
After several rounds, the little beast failed to attack Fang Qingyou, which made Luo Qianmo's eyes grow even colder.
He underestimated this little beast; it was not only swift but also exceptionally sharp.
This little beast is no ordinary animal.
Luo Qianmo had a vague feeling that this little beast wasn't after Fang Qingyou, but rather...
Luo Qianmo shifted his gaze to the Seven Star Purple Ginseng that had fallen on the cliff, and felt even more certain that his guess was correct. This little beast had come to hurt people and had already attacked them before, so why would it wait until now?
If he guessed correctly, this little beast must have discovered the Seven Star Purple Ginseng a long time ago and had been waiting for it to mature.
However, before it could even take any action, Fang Qingyou beat it to it.
Realizing this, Luo Qianmo suddenly grabbed Fang Qingyou's waist and pulled her up, causing their figures to fly into the air. Under the little beast's confused gaze, they quickly fell back down.
At that moment, Luo Qianmo suddenly reached out and pulled the Seven Star Purple Ginseng from the ground.
The little beast seemed to have noticed Luo Qianmo's movements, and suddenly changed direction, pouncing towards the Seven Star Purple Ginseng.
"Screech!" Seeing that the area was empty, the little beast screamed in fury and pounced on Fang Qingyou and Luo Qianmo.
Luo Qianmo's expression hardened slightly, and a flying sword flew out from his hand.
"Sss!!!" This time, the little beast failed to dodge and was pierced by the flying sword, letting out a sharp scream.
Even so, the little beast still pounced on Fang Qingyou's hand at the last moment. Just as its sharp teeth were about to bite her arm, its body suddenly dropped downwards, tearing off her sleeve instead.
"Bah-"
