Xia Muqing finally understood.
The green snake cared so much about this lotus because it wanted to save its wife.
The lotus had the effect of connecting and healing meridians.
The white snake's meridians had been severed. If that was the case, the lotus could indeed be used to treat it.
However, when it was pregnant, its had lost too much blood and energy.
There was no way its body could process the medicinal properties of the lotus. On the contrary, it would cause a relapse of its old injuries if it wasn't nourished properly.
The green snake stopped moving and looked at Xia Muqing in doubt.
Xia Muqing heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that the green snake had listened to her.
"I know that your wife's meridians are ruptured, but her body is already severely weak. She can't eat the meat lotus which has very strong medicinal properties. It will backfire."
Xia Muqing spoke tactfully.
