"Don't talk nonsense, or I'll cut your tongue out!"

The man in black had no idea that the secret he had kept hidden for so many years would be discovered by this brat.

You should know that he always takes a shower before going out.

"I'm not lying. My older brother said that people can't lie, or they'll be punished by heaven." Xiao Wanwan took out a pork knuckle she brought from Xuan Yue Kingdom from her bosom and put it in her mouth to gnaw on.

I'm so hungry.

[Let's roast them all into jerky and eat them later.]

Xiao Rui'an, watching coldly from a distance, was plotting with Shi Zai Ren how to rescue his sister.

Hearing this heartfelt sentiment, he found it somewhat amusing.

At the crucial moment, Wanwan remembered his words.

“Ruian, I suspect this person is a member of the Dragon Clan,” Shi Zai Ren said, directly expressing his doubts.

Xiao Rui'an nodded noncommittally.

Their journey was the one leading to the Dragon Clan. Logically, if Xuan Yue Kingdom wanted to kill them, wouldn't it have been easier to just imprison them?

Why go to such great lengths?

The words "human" and "spiritual root" suggest that this person's abilities are extraordinary.

If it weren't for the dragons, who else would want to take their lives?

"It seems that it's not certain whether you'll be able to reach the Dragon Clan."

The honest man looked at the black-clad man opposite him, who was furious with Xiao Wanwan, and gathered a ball of fire in his palms.

Just then.

A young man clad in golden light descended from the darkness and landed steadily beside Xiao Wanwan.

The man in black stared at the suddenly appearing stranger, seemingly overwhelmed by a powerful sense of shock, his lips trembling as he asked, "Who are you?"

The boy gently raised his left hand, flicked his fingertip, and a golden light entered the black-clad man's brow.

The man in black cried out "Ah!" and fell to the ground. After his body twitched a few times, he transformed into another small snake.

"Big brother, it's great to see you again."

Xiao Wanwan raised her eyes and looked at the young man in a blue robe beside her with a smile.

The young man was tall and handsome, with a face as white as jade, and his eyes, full of stars, looked at Xiao Wanwan with doting affection.

"Wanwan, were you scared?" He squatted down and gently stroked Xiao Wanwan's little pigtails.

Xiao Wanwan shook her head, "No~"

"Big brother, can I have this snake?" The little guy blinked and stared at the boy for a long time.

The boy nodded. "It's yours. You can do whatever you want with it."

"Oh, then I'll make a snakeskin bag. My pockets are too small."

"OK."

Oh, a snakeskin bag, hehe~

She put her hands inside her bosom, pretending to put them on for a long time, before finally pulling out a small dagger and showing it to the boy.

"Can you help me?"

The snake on the ground, seeing Xiao Wanwan's gleaming dagger, shrank back in fright and prepared to slip into the bushes.

Unexpectedly, the boy took the dagger directly from Xiao Wanwan's hand and lightly tossed it, striking the snake's head at its vital spot.

"good."

Just then, Ye Lanyin and the others rushed to Xiao Wanwan's side.

"Wanwan, you've scared your mother to death..."

Before Ye Lanyin could finish speaking, she paused for a moment when she saw the boy.

"Young Master Tianjue?"

Tianjue nodded slightly and said with a faint smile, "Madam, it's been a long time."

This was the first time Yao Qianshu had seen Tianjue, and his elegant entrance had already captivated him.

He had never seen such an extraordinary young man.

"Wow, thank you so much for saving us!"

Tianjue: "You're welcome. My main concern is saving Xiao Wanwan."

Yao Qianshu's enthusiasm was met with indifference, and his goodwill towards Tianjue instantly decreased by half.

These two are exactly alike, utterly devoid of human warmth.

I'm still a child myself.

Would answering that question kill you?!

The Regent almost fell into the snake's mouth, but fortunately Tianjue knocked the man in black back to his original form.

If it weren't for the Regent, they probably wouldn't have been able to hold on any longer.

"Young master, thank you for saving my daughter."

"Uncle Xiao, you're too kind. It was nothing at all." Tian Jue smiled and then looked at Xiao Rui'an.

Xiao Rui'an cupped his hands in thanks to him.

“Miss, you can’t be so reckless next time. What if something happens to you? How are we supposed to live?” Hua Xin said, her eyes red, as she picked up Xiao Wanwan.

Hua Mei tenderly draped the clothes over Xiao Wanwan's shoulders.

"I know, Aunt Huaxin, Aunt Huamei, I'm sitting in a snakeskin bag, please help me!"

Hua Xin raised an eyebrow, looking at the snake that had been hit on the ground, and asked with some doubt, "Miss, you don't mean to use this snake as a sacrifice, do you?"

"Oh dear, Aunt Huamei, hurry up and give me the bag!"

The little guy stretched out his hand in front of Hua Mei, his eyes flashing with cunning: "Take him back to the inn, Brother Yao, I'll skin him and pull out his tendons, and make me some purple calyx snake jerky."

[Hehe, Brother Shenghuo's cooking is the best; we can't waste such a big snake.]

Yao Qianshu hid behind General Yao, saying in fear, "I don't want to, I'm scared."

Xiao Wanwan slid off Hua Xin's body, then picked up the snake from the ground and placed it in front of Yao Qianshu.

"If you help me, I'll share some with you!"

"If you don't help me, I'm not going to talk to you anymore..."

"snort!"

After thinking it over, Yao Qianshu finally gritted his teeth and nodded, "Okay, I'll help you, but you have to do me a favor!"

"you say."

"I want to have spiritual roots like you."

Xiao Wanwan rested her hand on her chin and pondered for a while.

[No, you do have it.]

Why can't I get out?
