Chapter 17

Mo Xiuyao imagined according to Song Zhi’s words and finally agreed to give up on the stone-spotted fish. The two of them went into the depths of the forest. Mo Xiuyao had been locked up here for 30 years and was familiar with the terrain, so he easily found a rabbit hole. Unfortunately, Song Zhi had just set up a trap and waited for the rabbit for a long time. Only one rabbit with a big belly came, followed by the second and third… They all had big bellies and looked at them, round and funny.

“… Why are all the rabbits pregnant?” Song Zhi was speechless. Were all the animals in the Demon’s Note Valley pregnant?

Mo Xiuyao’s mouth twitched and he asked, “Are we still going to catch them?”

Song Zhi laughed dryly and silently took the rabbit out. She then filled the trap, and the rabbit that had escaped jumped into the rabbit hole. Unknowingly, half a day had passed. Song Zhi gave up on the idea of looking for wild food and said to Mo Xiuyao, “I still have sweet potatoes in my Cosmos Bag. Shall I make you some meatballs and make you some porridge?”

“Fried meatballs with sweet potatoes?” Mo Xiuyao looked at Song Zhi, as if this was the first time he had heard of this.

Song Zhi was immediately excited. “Yes, yes. Haven’t you eaten before? This world is so miserable. They don’t even have such a simple thing. Wait, I’ll make you some sweet potato balls.”

After a few days of getting along, although Song Zhi’s goal had not been achieved, she still had some understanding of Mo Xiuyao’s character. For example, when he was in a good mood, he would not care if she said a few offensive words to him. Most of the time, he was like an ordinary person. For example, now, he did not care if Song Zhi’s attitude was more casual. Instead, he was very interested in following her. Of course… he could also be simply hungry.

After lunch, Song Zhi and Mo Xiuyao got along with each other like before. Song Zhi could only see Mo Xiuyao during the three meals a day. Every time they met, Song Zhi would seize the opportunity to persuade him to perform dual cultivation with her. However, Mo Xiuyao would leave after eating every time, and his attitude did not waver at all!

The sun set and rose again. Song Zhi’s life finally entered the countdown. On the afternoon of the third day from the end, Song Zhi suddenly felt dizzy. After she regained her senses, she felt a wet itch under her nose. She touched it subconsciously and her fingertips were stained with blood. Looking at the bright red, she was stunned for a long time. For the first time, she truly felt death approaching. She was going to die. The second life that she had worked so hard to get was going to disappear. What would happen after she died? Would he return to the real world and continue to be in a painful vegetative state? Or was she completely dead, with no chance of coming back to life?

Song Zhi stared at the blood on her fingertips for a long time. Her fingers trembled as she rummaged through her Cosmos Bag. Finally, she found the medicine powder that she had hidden in the corner… the Hehuan Powder. She was going to persuade Mo Xiuyao one last time. If he still did not agree, then he could not blame her for using force! Song Zhi grabbed the powder tightly and took a deep breath. “Sir Demon Lord, you’re unkind, so don’t blame me for being unkind!”

Hehuan Powder was a drug specially provided by Hehuan Sect. No matter male or female, after consuming it, they would lose their mind and completely become the slave of desire. It was a very despicable and shameless drug. Although Hehuan Sect was not considered a Righteous sect in the Immortal world, they disdained using such means to force people into doing lewd acts. Therefore, it had been listed as a forbidden drug for a long time.

Song Zhi looked at the medicine in her hand with a serious expression, and it was difficult to ignore the blood on her fingertips. Once she used the Hehuan Powder, with Mo Xiuyao’s unruly and ruthless character, he would probably cut her into eight pieces when he woke up. But it was okay, as long as she could leave before Mo Xiuyao woke up, she would be safe and sound. According to the plot, Mo Xiuyao would be locked up in the Demon’s Note Valley for 30 years.

As long as she could escape, she could at least live a good life for another 30 years. Even if Mo Xiuyao could break the seal and leave this place after 30 years, he might not be able to find her. After all, her face and identity were all fake. After leaving the Demon’s Note Valley, she and Mo Xiuyao would be complete strangers!

She could either not drug Mo Xiuyao and wait for death, or she could take a gamble and survive! Song Zhi took a deep breath and felt that she did not need to think so much. She held the medicine bag and sat stiffly in the tent for a long time. It was only when it was about evening that she kept the medicine bag and went to prepare dinner.

Today, Song Zhi had prepared four dishes and one soup, filling up the entire small table. After she had served the rice, Mo Xiuyao slowly walked out from the depths of the forest. He stared at the sumptuous dishes for a moment and said with an unclear meaning, “You’re quite attentive today.”
