My Years in the Jianghu with the Prince: A Time of Unethical Conduct

Chapter 157 (Flashback) - End

On the shore, a girl with braided pigtails is walking gracefully towards us from a distance.

The girl not only didn't look like a person from the Central Plains, but even the clothes she wore were of a foreign style.

Most strangely, a black snake, several times thicker than the girl's arm, was coiled around her slender arm.

No wonder this pretty young girl always chooses to travel to remote and deserted places.

After all, anyone who saw this scene would probably find it eerie and frightening, and might even arrest her as some kind of evil spirit.

"Sigh, why is there so little food in the Central Plains?"

"Little Bai, just bear with it a little longer, Mommy will go find you something to eat."

As Uya kicked the water, she hooked the snake's chin and muttered a complaint.

The silver bells on her ankles jingled with her movements.

The surging waves crashed against her feet again and again, like a rising tide, growing ever stronger.

Suddenly, something was swept up by the wave and slammed into Uya's foot.

She was startled by the sudden touch and took several steps back.

When she came to her senses and looked again, she was shocked to discover that what had touched her leg was a corpse that had been washed ashore by the waves.

Seeing this, Uya patted her chest, looking relieved: "Haha, I scared myself."

Unlike a normal person's reaction, Uya excitedly rushed over, not even glancing at the corpse, and dragged it towards the shore.

"You have food now, Little White!"

It's unclear where this girl got such strength. Not only was she carrying a heavy black snake on her body, but she was also dragging an unconscious adult man with one hand, yet she still moved with incredible speed.

They rushed ashore in a few quick movements and threw the body onto an open ground.

The black snake crawled down her arm, hissing as it slid across the ground to the corpse, and suddenly opened its blood-red maw!

Its sharp teeth gleamed with a cold green light, and just a second before it was about to bite down, its restless head was suddenly grabbed by its owner.

"Xiaobai, don't be in such a hurry. Let me check which parts of him can eat and which parts he can't."

As Uya spoke, she rummaged through the corpse without any hesitation, her movements very practiced, as if she had been doing this for a long time.

The man's body was covered in murky mud, and perhaps because he had just come out of the water, he exuded a chilling aura.

Without hesitation, Uya turned the corpse over and lifted his robes.

What came into view was a gruesome bloodstain.

This body was covered in wounds, with not a single patch of unscathed skin; it was all covered in open wounds.

Uya frowned, a look of disgust on her face: "Oh dear, such a serious injury will affect the quality of the flesh."

But the next second, a hint of surprise suddenly appeared in his previously indifferent gaze.

"what?"

Uya curiously extended a finger and gently pressed it against the man's chest.

That was where Xie Yan's fatal wound was located.

"I think I can still feel a heartbeat here?"

The girl looked surprised and somewhat incredulous as she checked the man's breath and pulse.

Only then was it confirmed that the person had suffered such a severe and fatal injury, yet was still clinging to life.

Immediately, a look of extreme inner conflict appeared on Uya's face.

"Little White, this person is still alive. According to the rules of the Central Plains, eating a living person is not a good thing."

Upon hearing this, the black snake flicked its tongue as if it understood human speech, expressing its dissatisfaction.

Then she clapped her hands and came up with a brilliant idea.

"Then let's wait until he's completely dead before we eat him!"

After saying that, Wuya actually squatted down next to Xie Yan, waiting with her eyes fixed on him until he breathed his last.

Under the expectant gazes of both the human and the snake, Xie Yan's tightly pursed lips trembled, and she suddenly turned her head away, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

This action suddenly revealed his face, which had been hidden by his wet hair.

Uya's curious little head was immediately drawn over.

After parting her hair and seeing Xie Yan's face clearly, she immediately became excited.

"Wow, there are such handsome men in the Central Plains!"

Uya rested her chin on her hands, her cheeks slightly flushed, and looked at Xie Yan with bright eyes.

"I've made up my mind! Xiaobai, just bear with it a little longer, I want him to be my husband!"

Xiao Bai: "Hiss..."

Xie Yan never expected that she would be able to open her eyes again.

To his surprise, the first person he saw when he opened his eyes was a girl from another country.

The girl bent down and fiddled with him for a while, and only after noticing the movement did she raise her head to look at him with a happy expression.

"Hey, you awake?"

"That was close! Your internal organs are severely damaged, and there's an internal force that doesn't belong to you rampaging through your body. You were just a hair's breadth away from death!"

Uya patted her chest with lingering fear, and kept saying, "But luckily I have a Gu that can save you."

"This Gu is incredibly precious; there are only two of them in our entire Southern Frontier! If someone finds out I've used it, I'm in big trouble!"

"By the way, don't you people in the Central Plains say that a life-saving favor should be repaid with one's body?"

"So, my handsome brother, from today onwards, you are my husband!"

Uya seemed to be afraid that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and before Xie Yan could even react, she started rattling off a whole bunch of things.

But Xie Yan didn't say anything; instead, she looked around in confusion.

He opened his mouth, trying to make a sound.

But nothing can be sent.

Not only that, he couldn't hear anything either.

He only has one pair of eyes left, which can barely see.

Seeing this, Uya suddenly realized and slapped her forehead.

"Oh, I forgot!"

"Because your injuries are too severe, even with my Gu, I can't fully heal you all at once. I can only slowly help you repair your meridians within your body."

"But don't worry, believe me, you will gradually recover in a few months to a year or two."
