Qi Junxian excitedly ran to the riverbank and fished out several spirit stones from the river.

He said happily, "I didn't expect to find the spirit stone so quickly! It really came without any effort at all."

Unexpectedly, a large snake suddenly sprang out of the river, hissing and lunging at Qi Junxian with its gaping maw.

Chirp: "Second Brother, watch out!"

Qi Junxian was stunned when he saw the enormous object.

The giant snake was about to swallow Qi Junxian's entire head.

The sword dragon swiftly flew over and pulled Qi Junxian back.

Qi Junxian let out a long sigh of relief and said, "You scared me to death! But since you saved me so quickly, why didn't you just kill it?"

Chirp: "Kill? That's the most basic way to subdue wild beasts!"

Xiao Feng: "That's right! Master always tries to reason with wild beasts and win them over as his own little cuties. Right, Xiao Bai?"

The little white cat in Chuchu's arms nodded obediently.

Suddenly, a sword flew towards the giant snake.

The giant snake collapsed with a crash.

Water splashed in the river, and blood splattered all over Qi Junxian.

Chirp shouted angrily, "Who? Who killed my pet?"

A monk flew over and said, "A child not even three years old, what a big mouth you have! Keeping this giant snake as your pet? I think you're dreaming!"

Xiao Feng whispered to Qiu Qiu, "This sorcerer is one of the Second Prince's men. Master, it seems they're also eyeing this spirit stone!"

Chirp quietly beckoned to the spirit stone in the river.

All the spirit stones were collected by Qiuqiu into the Divine Pavilion.

Finally, Qiuqiu coated some ordinary stones with the glow of spirit stones to make them look real, and put them into the river.

The monk, confident of his victory, declared, "Now that I have killed this beast, all the spirit stones in this river are mine!"

Qi Junxian got impatient and said, "Are you blind? Didn't you see that we were here first, and we found the spirit stones first?"

The monk said, "So what? I subdued this giant serpent, therefore, all the spirit stones in this river belong to me!"

Xiao Feng also put her hands on her hips and argued with the monk: "Have you no shame? It seems a fierce battle is inevitable today!"

Jianlong and Qi Junxian both got into position, ready to fight the mage.

Monk: "What? Are you trying to gang up on us?"

Qi Junxian: "You're being unreasonable, what's the point of talking about fairness and justice with you? Come on! Let's see who can beat whom!"

Unexpectedly, Chiu Chiu waved to everyone and said, "Never mind, let's go!"

Qi Junxian's eyes widened, and he said, "Leave? You don't want all the spirit stones on this riverbed?"

Chirp: "No, let's go!"

Qi Junxian: "What are we here for? Isn't it just for spirit stones? How can we give up like this?"

Chiu Chiu winked at Qi Junxian.

Xiao Fengjianlong understood immediately. He pulled Qi Junxian along, saying, "Since our master wants us to leave, let's leave! Let's not stoop to this person's level!"

Qi Junxian refused to leave no matter what, and was dragged away by Jianlong and the others.

As he walked, he shouted, "Let me stay! I'm going to fight him! I can't give up like this!"

The monk who remained was extremely pleased with himself. He jumped into the river and excitedly picked up the spirit stones from the water.

"I've struck it rich! The Second Prince will be overjoyed when he finds out! His position will be secure then! I'll be the one to make the greatest contribution!"

Qi Junxian was dragged by the sword dragon to a deserted place. He desperately shook off the sword dragon's arm and said, "Are you guys crazy? You're giving away spirit stones and dragging me away instead?"
