Zongman: Under One Person, join the chat group

With a horse's neigh, a red, flame-like figure galloped at great speed toward the carriage where the Snow Woman was.

Before the Snow Maiden could even react with surprise, Qin Qi appeared before her the next second, with the crimson horse beneath him.

"I am back."

Qin Qi spoke.

"I'm so surprised that you came back safely, you idiot."

The Snow Woman looked at Qin Qi and said, "I'm so surprised," but her face was full of sarcasm, as if to say, "How did you end up dying out there?"

"I was quite surprised too. The Qilin horse has really good stamina. I ran against it for three days and three nights."

"Finally, on the morning of the fourth day, this guy was exhausted. I barely managed to win this match."

Qin Qi sighed as he spoke, "This horse is truly a born champion, not only incredibly fast but also with exceptional endurance."

Normally, as long as he doesn't get surrounded or trapped, there are probably very few people in the world who can catch him.

"A Qilin horse? How come I've never heard of such a horse before?"

The Snow Woman looked at the magnificent Kirin horse in front of her and reached out to touch it, but the Kirin horse sneezed as soon as she reached out.

The hot air hit the snow woman's hand and burned it!

"So hot!"

The snow woman immediately pulled her hand back, looked down, and saw that the back of her hand was instantly burned as if it had come into contact with high-temperature steam.

"The Qilin horse is not a breed, but a name I gave it. It is the Qilin among horses, which refers to 01."

"This guy's body temperature keeps rising when he's running at high speed; you didn't see him at his fastest."

"At that moment, the blood in his body began to evaporate, forming a red mist, as if flames were surrounding him!"

Qin Qi took Xue Nu's hand and gently ran his fingers over her wound. In an instant, the burn on the back of Xue Nu's hand healed without leaving a single scar.

"The Qilin horse has a terrible temper; I can't even pet it."

The Snow Woman looked at her healed hand with surprise in her eyes; it was the first time she had ever seen such a treatment method.

It's so miraculous! My injuries healed just by being gently brushed over!

"This guy really has a temper. Even though I'm riding him now, he still hasn't given up."

"He only followed me because he wanted to find an opportunity to compete with me again and win fair and square."

Qin Qi patted the head of the Qilin horse, which let out a reluctant neigh. Next time, next time he will definitely win!

"And it's lucky that this guy met me. If he hadn't met me, he would have died in a few days."

"Hmm? Does the Qilin horse have some kind of illness? But it looks perfectly healthy to me!"

Xue Nuzai carefully examined the Qilin Horse and confirmed that it was perfectly healthy and did not appear to be sick at all.

"It is precisely because of his health that, as I mentioned before, his body temperature rises continuously when he runs, and the higher his temperature, the faster he will go."

"But this temperature is not something any living thing can withstand. If he hadn't met me, and had continued to run recklessly, he would have died from his own power sooner or later."

Qin Qi placed his hand on the Qilin horse, helping it dissipate the heat in its body and gradually cool it down.

At the same time, the life energy generated by the ripples helps the Qilin Horse repair its body, which has been damaged by the high temperature.

"This Qilin horse, so strong and powerful, is going to die because of its own strength."

"I really don't know how to describe it. Is this fate?"

The Snow Woman looked up at the sky, feeling as if everything had been predetermined, and that fate was the one that had decided it all.

"You're just too sentimental. Stop thinking about fate and think about what we're going to eat later."

"My unicorn horse and I have been running for three days and three nights. We are starving. I could even eat tree bark now."

As soon as Qin Qi finished speaking, his stomach rumbled, and at the same time, the Qilin horse's stomach also rumbled.

"Eating? This time it's still one person and one horse. I'm going to pretend I don't know you anymore. Don't ride alongside me."

Xue Nu looked at Qin Qi, then at the Qilin horse, and finally at her own purse. She felt that she would be eaten into poverty sooner or later.

Since hiring Qin Qi, they haven't earned a single penny; instead, they thought their food expenses would soon deplete their travel funds.

What kind of situation is this?

Despite her complaints, the Snow Woman still took Qin Qi and the others to eat when they passed through a village.

"Sir, let me feed your horse some hay and give it some water. Please come inside and have something to eat."

When Xiao Er saw Qin Qi and his group approaching, he hurriedly went forward to prepare to take the horses into the stable to feed them some hay and water.

"No need, this guy won't listen to you, and he doesn't eat grass either. Just make you a portion of whatever we eat."

"It would be best to get more meat. You want to drink dew too. You're asking for too much. Just get him some well water."

While talking to the Qilin horse, Qin Qi gave instructions to the waiter, and then led the Qilin horse into the tavern.

"Huh? This guest is talking strangely."

Xiao Er scratched his head, somewhat confused as to whether Qin Qi's words were directed at him or the horse.

We entered the tavern and ordered some dishes.

"Well, sir, we're here to entertain guests. You can take the horse to the stable."

The shopkeeper walked up to Qin Qi, looking troubled. "Don't worry, our staff here will definitely take good care of your horse."

"We will absolutely not let it get hurt in the slightest. We will feed it the best feed, so how about we get the horse out?"

'snort. ’

Qilinma looked at the boss, sneezed disdainfully, and then turned to leave. These people didn't want to eat with him.

He didn't want to eat with these people; he wanted to go out and hunt for himself and find his own food.

"Boss, just get me some food and take it outside. I'll eat outside."

Qin Qi patted the head of the Qilin horse, then followed it outside and found a place to sit down.

After the food was served, the man and his horse ate outside, completely oblivious to the stares of others.

"Hey."

Snow Maiden sat inside the house, ate a few bites, and felt that the food had no flavor at all. She turned her head to look at Qin Qi and the Qilin Horse outside.

She sighed, then carried her food outside, walked to Qin Qi's side, and placed the food on the steps.

She pressed down on her skirt with one hand and then sat down on the ground.

"Sitting outside like this and being watched by others is so embarrassing. I really don't know what stupid thing I did just now."

Why did I leave?

The snow woman regretted it as soon as she sat down. Why did she come out? Wouldn't it have been better to eat inside?

"Don't overthink it, have a peanut."

Qin Qi flicked his finger, and a peanut entered Xue Nu's mouth. Xue Nu subconsciously chewed it twice.

The food that was tasteless just now suddenly tasted delicious, even though we were eating it sitting on the street.

But eating alone and eating with a horse taste completely different.

“I think I understand why the Qilin Horse only allowed you to touch it and ride it; it’s not just because you beat it.”

"It's also because your attitude towards him is completely different from that towards others."

As Xue Nu watched Qin Qi toss peanuts to the Qilin horse and see the two of them scrambling for the food, she suddenly smiled and spoke.

Qin Qi never regarded the Qilin horse as an inferior beast, nor did he consider it his mount.

Instead, he treats him as someone he acknowledges, someone whose will he respects and who acts accordingly.

The other party will also see Qin Qi's will and be convinced by it. Only those who respect others will be respected.

After finishing their meal, the two men and their horse resumed their journey, their next destination being the State of Yan!

......................................................................................................

A month has passed in the blink of an eye.

During this time, Qin Qi encountered many disciples of various schools of thought on his journey. They came from different places, including the Mohists, Confucians, and military strategists.

But these people were all just disciples. Qin Qi discussed the Dao with them and defeated them using their most proficient methods.

At first, this didn't have much of an impact, but as he continued to advance, his reputation grew.

Almost everyone knows that a formidable figure has arrived near the State of Yan, declaring his intention to challenge the masters of the various schools of thought.

Some hot-blooded young people, upon hearing this news, began to take action, wanting to defeat Qin Qi in order to prove their theories and strength!

Meanwhile, Qin Qi and Xue Nu were still on their journey.

"Cough cough."

The Snow Woman covered her mouth and coughed a few times. Her face was slightly pale, and her body was starting to give out after such a long journey.

"Yes, you're sick. Let me take a look at you."

"No need, I just feel a little tired, it's nothing serious."

Before Xue Nu could finish speaking, Qin Qi pulled her hand over and placed his fingers on her wrist to take her pulse.

"Um, oh, what's going on?"

Qin Qi felt his pulse, his expression shifting between confusion and surprise, before finally looking quite strange.

"You, you're scaring me! I... I don't think I have some kind of terminal illness?!"

Looking at Qin Qi, Xue Nu began to feel nervous. She only felt slightly tired and weak.

Why is the other person making that face? Am I going to die?!

"It's not a terminal illness. I'm just wondering, how come someone who practices martial arts has such weak qi and blood?"

“A martial artist should not only have blood and qi as strong as the blazing sun, but at the very least, they should not be anemic. Moreover, you are not only anemic.”

"You also have neurasthenia, well, that is, mental distress, excessive thinking leads to lethargy and loss of appetite."

"No wonder you never eat anything at mealtimes. Apart from your good internal strength, your qi, blood and energy are not sufficient."

Qin Qi was genuinely puzzled as to how the other party, a martial artist, could have made him anemic. This wasn't like a fantasy novel!

"Hmm, so you mean I'm sick right now? Do I need to take medicine?"

After hearing Qin Qi's words, Xue Nu realized that she had indeed been having trouble sleeping, eating, and feeling weak all over these past few days.

She always thought she was just too tired from the journey, and that she would be fine after finding a town to stay in for a while and getting some rest.

But now it seems I'm sick.

"It's not really an illness, and you don't need to take any medicine. Hmm, just drink more brown sugar water in the future. Hmm, never mind, I'll make you some blood-nourishing and qi-tonifying medicinal porridge when I have time."

"Most of the world's problems are caused by food, and most of the problems can also be solved by food."

Qin Qi's ripples can heal injuries and achieve all sorts of miraculous effects, but Xue Nu's condition at this moment...

Compared to ripple intervention therapy, it's better to eat more. When you're full, you'll have plenty of energy, sleep well, and feel refreshed.

When both mind and spirit are healthy, the body will naturally be healthy as well.

"Ah."

The snow woman nodded.

Around noon that day, Qin Qi rode his Qilin horse to find some medicinal herbs nearby, and then returned to start a fire and cook.

"Drink."

Qin Qi tasted the cooked medicinal porridge and found it to be quite delicious, as expected of something he had personally prepared.

"Ah."

The snow woman held the bowl with both hands and drank it in small sips. After drinking half of it, she felt full and could not drink anymore.

"I can't drink any more."

660 Snow Maiden put down the bowl and spoke.

"Then I won't be polite."
