The next meeting lasted for more than two hours. Xiao Bing did not sit there for long. After all, he was an outsider to the people in the conference room. In the next five years, the people in the conference room would be the ninth councilor's people. The ninth councilor would also try her best to fight for her people's interests.
Xiao Bing told the people who followed him that Serpent Woman had become the ninth member again. Then he went back to his room and began to sleep. The real show was about to be staged. Compared with that, what happened just now was just an appetizer, not even an appetizer. So Xiao Bing had to conserve his energy.
Xiao Bing lay there for more than two hours. There was a knock on the door. Xiao Bing opened his eyes, walked to the door, and slowly opened it. He saw Snake Grandmother and the little dragonfly standing outside. Snake Grandmother was still hunched, with a dark and strange temperament. The little dragonfly looked at him angrily. Xiao Bing knew that she must be angry with him because he did not help Snake Grandmother when she was in danger.
So Xiao Bing did not mind the little dragonfly. But even if he had to do it again, Xiao Bing still would not help. The Tower of Babel had its own rules. That was the Life and Death Room. Since they decided to go in together, they had to be responsible for their own lives. If he acted rashly, how could he convince the others? Snake Grandmother would probably become the laughing stock of the Dark World in the future.
Snake Grandmother and the little dragonfly walked into Xiao Bing's room. Snake Grandmother seemed to be struggling to walk. She trembled and finally sat down on the bed.
Xiao Bing closed the door and returned to his room. He smiled and said, "Snake Grandmother, you are the winner of this Dark World Summit again."
Xiao Bing was right. According to the rules of the Dark World Summit, among the nine councilors, the first eight councilors must have a higher status. But in fact, there was not much difference in their rights. And not only that, the ninth councilor had another advantage.
Because the ninth councilor was elected through challenges, no one could challenge the ninth councilor in the following formal meetings. That was to say, among the nine councilors, the possibility of the first eight being changed was not very high. But Snake Grandmother was the only one who would not change at all. Even the position of the chairman of the summit was not as stable as Snake Grandmother.
Snake Grandmother was still in awe of Xiao Bing. Although she was as gloomy as ever, there was some respect in her tone. "Mr. Dragon, this time I came to express my gratitude to you. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would not have been able to devote myself to the battle of life and death. Maybe I would have really died in the hands of that boy."
Xiao Bing said indifferently, "Do you mean I promised to help you protect the little dragonfly? It seems like you're really good to her, but you don't have to thank me for this alone. "
The Serpent Matron said seriously, "This matter may be as easy as lifting a finger for you, but it is very important to me. After so many years … she is my only family."
Xiao Bing said, "I heard that there was a plague in her village. You saved her."
"Yes."
The eyes of the little dragonfly next to him were a little red.
Xiao Bing asked, "Why did you let Wuqing go?"
"Let the tiger return to the mountain … I have a hunch that he will kill me one day." Snake Grandmother said in a low voice, "Maybe that day is not too far away. Maybe three years, maybe five years, or maybe it won't take that long at all. In short, he is a madman. No one is sure that they can survive in the hands of a madman."
"Yes, then why did you let him go?"
Snake Grandmother said in a deep voice, "Because I couldn't kill him at that time. At most, I would die with him."
Snake Grandmother gasped violently. It seemed that her physical condition was not good. Xiao Bing walked over, grabbed her thin arm, and felt her pulse. Although Xiao Bing was not a medical student, he still knew a little about pulse. After feeling Snake Grandmother's pulse, Xiao Bing frowned and said, "Your injury is very serious."
"Yes." Snake Grandmother said, "At that time, I was actually barely standing there. Even a casual punch from him could have knocked me down. I'm old … If it were twenty or even five years ago, I would have been more than enough to kill him. But now … I may be able to die with him with the help of those poisonous insects, but I won't give up until I see the little dragonfly grow up! "
Xiao Bing said with emotion, "I understand you."
"Thank you." Snake Grandmother said, "He lost to me this time, so he will definitely want to kill me next. But this time, his injury is not light, and his strength is only one step away from the peak of Vigorous-strength. I think he will not take the risk to come to me before he reaches the peak of Vigorous-strength. In addition, I took the little dragonfly to hide in Miao Jiang, so it will not be easy for him to find me. So maybe I can live a few more years and teach the little dragonfly more things."
The little dragonfly said next to her, "Snake Grandmother, you will definitely live to a hundred years old."
Snake Grandmother smiled bitterly and said, "Silly child, I am now almost eighty years old. Even if I die now, it is not too early. But for you, I will still live a few more years, but I am afraid that the day I die of old age will not be too far away."
Xiao Bing knew that Snake Grandmother was not lying. Even if she hid after Wu Qing broke through the peak of Vigorous-strength, so that Wu Qing could not find her, her life was probably coming to an end. When Xiao Bing just felt her pulse, he knew that this Snake Grandmother's pulse was particularly messy. Her body was already weak, and she was seriously injured today. Even if Zhang Yizhi was here, he might not be able to make her live to a hundred years old.
Life will come to an end. Even a divine doctor was not a real god after all.
The little dragonfly began to wipe away her tears, and Serpent Grandmother sighed with relief: "Serpent Grandmother didn't dote on you for nothing. More than 20 years ago, my son's family of three died. After that, I had no relatives in this world. Now I regard you as my only family. Little dragonfly, Snake Grandmother does not care whether you can be famous in the world one day. What Snake Grandmother cares about is that you can live happily. If a person dies, even if he can be famous in the world, what's the use! "
"I know … I know …"
Snake Grandmother sighed and said, "I taught you medical skills, taught you to use voodoo to cure diseases and save people, but I did not teach you the kung fu of killing, because I did not want others to think that you are a threat. But doctors are not the same. People often only have respect for doctors. What's more, if your medical skills really reach a certain level one day, then no one will dare to touch you, because everyone will need a doctor one day. Maybe 10 years later, maybe 20 years later, maybe only once in a lifetime will you need a very skilled doctor to save your life. But if there is no such a skilled doctor to save you, you may lose your life. "
Snake Grandmother said, "So, being able to really kill people is not the most terrible thing. The most terrible thing is to be able to save people, and let the other party know that sooner or later his life will depend on you to save him. Then you will not be in any danger. After we leave the Tower of Babel this time, I will take you back. I must teach you all my medical skills in a few years! "
The little dragonfly lay on Snake Grandmother's thigh and cried, and kept saying, "I don't want to learn medicine. I just want Snake Grandmother to live well."
Snake Grandmother smiled and said, "Silly child, only when you learn to cure diseases and save people can Snake Grandmother live well! Because no matter what disease Snake Grandmother has, she can be saved by you. "
After listening to Snake Grandmother's words, the little dragonfly immediately showed a face of determination.
Xiao Bing saw this and sighed in his heart. This Snake Grandmother did not have a good reputation in the Dark World. She had killed countless people, but she really cared about this little girl!
While Xiao Bing was thinking, suddenly Snake Grandmother stood on the ground and directly knelt down.
Xiao Bing was stunned. Although in the Dark World, the strong were respected, on the one hand, Xiao Bing had some respect for Snake Grandmother because of how she treated the little dragonfly. On the other hand, Snake Grandmother was nearly 80 years old. She was really old and could be Xiao Bing's grandmother. Such an old woman would shorten her life if she knelt in front of him.
Xiao Bing hurried to help Snake Grandmother up and said with a wry smile, "I just helped you take care of the little dragonfly for a while today. What's more, I didn't do anything. What are you doing?"
Snake Grandmother said, "I didn't kneel because of what happened in the conference room just now. I want to ask Mr. Dragon for a favor."
Xiao Bing thought for a moment and said, "I can't promise you directly. Tell me what it is first."
"Don't worry. It's difficult for me, but it's not difficult for you at all. I won't make it too difficult for you."
Xiao Bing said seriously, "Then I also want to see if it's against morality, against national righteousness, and against my principles. So, Snake Grandmother, tell me what it is first. "
"Okay!" Snake Grandmother sighed, "Mr. Dragon is really a man of principle. The Dark World needs a person like you to lead it. Here's the thing. After this Dark World Summit, I plan to live in seclusion with the little dragonfly again, and then teach her all my skills of using poisonous insects. It's not that I'm not modest, but in this world, if I say that I'm the second best at using poisonous insects, no one dares to say that they are the first. "
Xiao Bing nodded and said, "I believe you."
Snake Grandmother continued, "Many people think that poisonous insects are harmful. But poisonous insects can kill people, but they can also save people. If you can reach the acme of perfection in using poisonous insects, your level of saving people will be equivalent to a very powerful doctor. But that's not enough. I know that Mr. Dragon has a good relationship with Mr. Zhang Yizhi, so I want to ask the little dragonfly to find you if I'm really not in this world one day. You can introduce her to Mr. Dragon and ask Mr. Zhang Yizhi to accept her as a disciple. What do you think? "
Xiao Bing couldn't help but frown. Snake Grandmother sighed and said, "If Mr. Dragon can agree to my request, my life is all yours. From then on, if Mr. Dragon has any orders, even if I'm old, I'll still do it even if I have to climb a mountain of swords and dive into a sea of fire!"
