Chapter 227 (2/2)
Looking at the little qilin once more, she could not help but think, ‘Weren’t qilins supposed to be a majestic mythical beast from legends?’
‘Why is this one so small?’
‘It’s not that powerful either. Actually being completely submissive to Jiu Zun in one move…’
The little qilin finally plucked out a scale. The process seemed quite uncomfortable; Its horns were trembling from the pain.
Jiu Zun received it and weighed it in his hand. That qilin scale shrunk into a small ball about the size of a fingernail, its appearance was like a blue pearl. He passed it over to Ning Xuemo. “Swallow it.”
Ning Xuemo naturally did not have any objections as she swallowed that pearl.
The moment it entered her mouth and slid down her throat, it was like a refreshing stream flowed down her belly, unspeakably comfortable.
Under Jiu Zun’s guidance, she used her psychokinesis to turn the pearl into nutritious elements and transported it to her legs by circulating her psychokinesis.
Roughly an hour later, Ning Xuemo stopped meditating. The first thing she did when her eyes opened was check her legs.
And the moment she saw her legs, her eyes lit up!
‘Magical! Simply magical!’
The previously bloodied and skinless legs were gone, now her legs had regained their former white and tender appearance.
This body originally had a pair of beautiful legs. Perhaps it was because of the nourishment of the qilin scale, but now that the skin had regrown, it was actually glowing with health more so than before.
Due to the many days of constant travelling recently, her feet were covered in blisters and boils, but now, those were all gone. The shape of her feet was perfect, like the white half of the moon. The toenails were smooth and pink like pearls. Both of her legs seemed like they were carved out of white jade or crystal, making people who see it want to caress it.
