Su Zu, who didn't know that someone would soon come to snatch her mushroom, fought the large rainbow snake with all her might. As the snake raised its neck to slither towards her, Su Zu forced the flying sword to the rainbow snake's dead spot beneath its neck until the sword pierced through it all the way. Su Zu looked at the rainbow snake she was fighting with great difficulty. Finally, she had defeated it. Su Zu forced the flying sword to come out of the snake's body and put the sword into her storage bracelet.
Su Zu used her lightness skill to pass through the giant rainbow serpent's body and reach for the rainbow mushroom she wanted, and quickly used her dagger to pry the mushroom out of the tree stump. As she was about to put the mushroom into her storage bracelet, Su Zu heard the sound of a group of horseshoes approaching. She turned to look in the direction of the sound and saw that a masked figure and dozens of people riding horses had stopped not far from where the rainbow serpent had died.
Prince Cheng, who saw Su Su holding the Rainbow Mushroom in her hand, could only frown. This time, he had a mission to find the Rainbow Mushroom to use as the main medicine to cure the Crown Prince's poison, but now, a young lady had already gotten it.
" You were the one who killed the Rainbow Snake, my lady ?"
" So what if it's right? So what if it's not ?"
" I want the Rainbow Mushroom in your hand, but I don't want to hurt the lady. Please give me the Rainbow Mushroom."
" Hey !!! Are you crazy? I spent so much effort killing rainbow snakes to get this rainbow mushroom. Who are you to come and rob me so easily? If you want the rainbow mushroom, if you have the ability, come and try it. Humph !"
Su Su, who had always been stubborn, could only scold the masked man for daring to provoke her, even though she had just fought the Rainbow Snake and she wanted to quickly develop her body to be even stronger.
Prince Cheng, who saw that the lady in front of him would not give him the Rainbow Mushroom so easily, could only think of taking action against her. However, he was afraid that fighting would damage the Rainbow Mushroom .
" Can you stop being unreasonable, my lady? I need the Rainbow Mushroom to save lives. Otherwise, how could someone like me ask you for something so nicely? Wouldn't it be better if I killed you and took it?"
" Heh !!! Do you think I'm so useless that you can kill me? Dream on, I'll give you the Rainbow Mushroom. I need it to increase my energy too. "
The guard who saw that the prince seemed to be fighting with the lady in front of him could only whisper to Prince Cheng to let him try negotiating first. Prince Cheng, who did not want to talk to Su Su from the beginning, could only nod and let the guard take the lead instead.
" Oh, Madam , if I need the Rainbow Mushroom to save someone, what does Madam need in return for helping me this time? You can tell me, I will definitely find it for you."
" Hmm, at least you're a bit smarter than that masked guy. I really hate those who like to steal from others shamelessly. But you're going to let me trade this rainbow mushroom instead of using force. It's fair to say that your brain is still good."
" Thank you for the compliment. But what would you like in return, miss?"
" Ten thousand taels for my labor, do you have it or not?"
" Of course I do. Then I will exchange the Rainbow Mushroom for ten thousand taels of silver. I wonder if there is anything else that the lady would like to add. You can tell me."
" No more. The money comes, the goods go. That's it. As for the Rainbow Snake's remains, I'll keep them myself. Do you agree?"
" Alright, Madam. We only need the Rainbow Mushroom as the main medicinal ingredient. Here is a ten thousand taels of silver ticket. Madam, please examine it. You can exchange this ticket at any money changer in Zheng State."
Su Zu took the bill and read it. She found that it was similar to the bill she had seen seven years ago, so she quickly put the bill into her bosom instead of putting it in her bracelet, which made these people suspicious. She threw the Rainbow Mushroom to the guard who had bargained with her instead of handing it to the Masked Man, the group leader.
Prince Cheng, who was mocked by the young woman for being brainless, could only gnash his teeth. He would remember her until the day he died that there was such a woman who did not care about him in his country. After seeing that his people had received the mushrooms, Prince Cheng loudly gave an order in an irritated manner.
go back !!!
The large group of people and horses ran away in the direction they had just come from. Su Zu could only pout and follow the group of masked people in annoyance. Huh, making a loud noise. Do you think this Su Zu is afraid of you? What kind of person can wear a mask all day long? I guess he's ugly.
After cursing the masked man she disliked, Su Zu used a dagger to take out the snake's bile to use in making medicine to nourish her body. As for the large amount of snake meat, Su Zu cut it into pieces and stored it in her storage bracelet. After all, its meat contained the energy that this snake had accumulated for hundreds of years. If she ate it, it would increase her energy a little. Her storage bracelet could also prevent the flesh from rotting. Similarly, the ginseng she had stored remained in its original state as if it had just been picked up. Because this was a magical bracelet that her master had accidentally obtained, she, as her beloved disciple, received it when she was exactly 25 years old.
Prince Cheng, who had been out of Su Su's place for a while, could only think of the annoying woman who had secretly scolded him , but had greatly admired his guards. The more he thought about it, the more her sweet face floated into his mind. He never thought that such a tall and sweet-looking woman would have such a different personality from her appearance. He could only secretly be quite angry at her because she did not even bother to ask about his reputation as a prince of the country. The more he thought about it, the more Prince Cheng felt disgusted with Su Su. He could only think to himself that he should not see her again. Especially since she disrespectfully called him a masked woman, he almost wanted to take a cane and hit the child's bottom until she cried.
The guards who saw the prince gnashing their teeth in dissatisfaction did not dare to say a word. They only urged their horses back to the capital to bring the rainbow mushroom to save the life of the crown prince who did not know how he had been poisoned. The crown prince only went to inspect the affairs of the cities like every year. When the prince, who was his cousin, found out about this matter, he urged his men and horses all the way to find the rainbow mushroom as the imperial physician had predicted, tirelessly for the past month. Finally, they had accomplished their mission. However, it would probably be another two months before they reached the capital because they still had to rest their horses periodically so that they would not get too tired and fall down. These horses were war horses that could run a thousand li a day. However, they still had to take good care of them because it was not easy to find such good horses in this country.
