Chapter 1762: Chapter 1609: Tycoon of Otherworldly Entertainment 39

This Red Flame Snake is severely injured, and were it not for the strong life force of a fourth-level spirit beast, it would likely have died long ago. Even now, it’s barely holding on.

Jian Shuangshuang couldn’t even bother to eat, quickly went outside to hire two people and arranged for a carriage, and instructed her staff to open the iron cage, so the Red Flame Snake could be loaded onto the vehicle.

However, the Red Flame Snake’s enormous size, curled up with wounds all over it, remained terrifying even when motionless. The two individuals Shuangshuang hired were too scared to approach it.

The Red Flame Snake didn’t move but just rotated its snake eyes to glance at the two, scaring them to sit on the ground, almost to the point of wetting themselves.

No matter how Shuangshuang persuaded, the two shook their heads vigorously, insisting on leaving.

With no other choice, Shuangshuang had to increase the original fifty copper coins to one silver coin per person. It was only for the money that the two reluctantly agreed, on the condition that Shuangshuang carry the most dangerous part—the head.

Shuangshuang was helpless, and she stepped forward first, gently cradling the Red Flame Snake’s enormous head, soothingly saying: "Don’t be afraid, relax a bit. I’m taking you for healing, I won’t hurt you."

The Red Flame Snake looked deeply at Jian Shuangshuang. As a spirit beast, it didn’t have the poor vision common to ordinary snakes; it could clearly see Shuangshuang’s face.

Just as Shuangshuang mentioned, this Red Flame Snake had developed spiritual wisdom and inherited knowledge. Although it couldn’t speak, it understood all the words and meanings around it.

The snake knew the girl before it was kind-hearted. As it gazed, it noticed the gentleness in Shuangshuang’s eyes, and her actions in supporting its head were careful as if she was afraid of hurting it.

Ever since gaining spiritual wisdom, it had witnessed and overheard nothing but malice. Everyone coveted its meat, filling it with fear, terror, and despair.

Yet at this moment, it suddenly felt comforted because it sensed goodwill from the girl before it, something it hadn’t felt since its owner died.

Seeing the Red Flame Snake relaxing its head into her hands, Jian Shuangshuang realized it had understood her, indicating submission.

Watching Shuangshuang holding the snake’s head, the two cautiously approached, driven by the promise of a silver coin, and lifted the snake’s body, awkwardly moving the Red Flame Snake onto the vehicle.

Weighing over four hundred pounds, Shuangshuang supported the front while using mystic energy to prop up the body, essentially bearing most of the snake’s weight herself.

She called for help not for the weight but fearing that its massive size might be a challenge to load alone, and wanting to avoid accidental contact with the wounds.

Originally set to eat, now that was off the table. Shuangshuang had to pack some pastries from the restaurant for Du Xinning and Du Xinyu, reserving dinner before planning to send the Red Flame Snake to the Spirit Beast Medical Hall and returning in the evening to eat here.

The Double-tailed Chicken, Fire Scale Fish, and Long-toothed Pork had already been purchased and would be a waste not to eat, especially since Du Xinning eagerly eyed what Shuangshuang had bought, anticipating a meal, which Shuangshuang couldn’t bear to disappoint her.

In this world, raising battle pets is common practice. Even those who don’t cultivate, if wealthy enough, are willing to buy a powerful spirit beast cub, raising them for protection, far superior to humans.

Spirit beasts are highly valuable; even those without spiritual wisdom are exceptionally sociable, forming bonds if not met with cold-heartedness. Thus, medical halls specializing in spirit beasts are abundant.

Jian Shuangshuang took the Red Flame Snake to Yan City’s largest spirit beast treatment clinic, a vast institution, albeit located in a relatively remote area.

Though remotely located, it occupies half a street, clean and organized, with different spirit beasts having dedicated treatment zones, attended by Xuan Masters and Great Xuan Masters.

This spirit beast treatment clinic is known as Hao Family Spirit Beast Clinic, adorned with exquisite rooms housing veterinarians specializing in different types of spirit beasts.

The staff were professional; as Shuangshuang arrived with the Red Flame Snake, they immediately engaged four individuals with a cart to move the snake, pushing it into the clinic.

Shuangshuang, along with Du Xinning and Du Xinyu, followed as the handlers pushed the Red Flame Snake into the snake spirit beast examination room before leaving.

Upon arrival, there were three other serpent spirit beasts ahead, awaiting treatment, each of considerable size but only second-level spirit beasts.

Despite this, their owners appeared to cherish them immensely, continuously soothing their somewhat anxious spirit beasts.

The spirit beast veterinarian was a young male sporting a black flame emblem on his chest signifying a Great Xuan Master, with gentle features and a kindly demeanor, easily likable.

This temperament not only comforted humans but also put sensitive spirit beasts at ease, preventing defensive or aggressive responses, presently examining a serpent whose scales resembled jade-like green jewels.

The serpent’s owner was a prosperous middle-aged woman, despite being ordinary, her attire denoted wealth, clearly not lacking financially.

"Your Green Spirit Snake isn’t seriously ill, its lack of appetite stems not from sickness but a poor mood.

Spirit beasts may lack spiritual wisdom but are intelligent, experiencing emotions. You’re typically affectionate; perhaps you’ve neglected it lately?"

The wealthy woman paused in surprise: "Indeed, my household business has been busy, neglecting to take my baby out to play for days. It seems unhappy; now I understand."

The woman stroked her Green Spirit Snake’s head, leaving a gold coin for consultation as gratitude before departing with her snake.

Watching the gold coin left behind and the half-dead Red Flame Snake beside her, Jian Shuangshuang began to worry over costs.

If a mere bad mood incurred a gold coin, wouldn’t curing her near-dead snake lead to bankruptcy!

Jian Shuangshuang fiddled with her funds, pondering when she could check movie ticket sales, hastily collecting returns before facing a monetary drought.

The preceding two snakes had no significant illness, so it swiftly came to Shuangshuang’s turn. As the young veterinarian saw the Red Flame Snake, his expression froze.

Suddenly standing, he briskly approached the snake, scrutinizing it in surprise: "Xuan Fire! How did it get this injured?"

Jian Shuangshuang was also surprised: "Doctor, do you know this snake?"
