Chapter 10 010 To be a snake, you have to be bold.

Jiang Yan felt the coolness travel up her wrist and sweep across her entire body.

She reached out and patted the little snake's head: "You're injured, so don't use your spiritual power to cool me down, okay? Be good~"

The soft fingertips sent a tingling sensation through Lin Yun, who instinctively froze.

As Jiang Yan stopped, she casually scratched its slender neck, and Lin Yun dodged away as if it were ticklish.

"Little White is the best behaved~"

Upon hearing the name, a surge of anger rose within him once more.

Little Whitey, she's only known that little white snake from who-knows-where for a few days!

Lin Yun subconsciously tightened his grip on her wrist, hissing unhappily.

Jiang Yan thought it was hurting from its wound again and wanted to comfort it, but when she reached out, she touched the snake's tail again.

Lin Yun subconsciously pulled his tail away, but Jiang Yan found it very interesting and reached out again to curl his tail around her fingertips.

"This is so much fun."

Jiang Yan used to find it hard to understand people who kept small snakes as pets, but now, looking at this well-behaved little white snake, she understands a bit better.

Lin Yun's snake-like face flushed red with embarrassment: "You woman..."

Jiang Yan lowered her head, her eyes crinkling as she whispered to the blue mosaic on her wrist, "Our Xiaobai is the most obedient little snake, unlike that green snake, who's not only arrogant but also has a terrible temper~"

"Hiss hiss hiss!"

Lin Yun was even more annoyed.

Praising other snakes in front of him? That's going too far!

He really wanted to bite someone!

The next instant, a warm current inexplicably flowed through his body, causing him to suddenly relax.

That gentle gas instantly flowed through the wound on the snake's tail and spread to every part of its body.

The scattered spiritual energy within his body also converged into his dantian, seemingly helping the energy to heal his wounds, making him feel warm and comfortable, and a long-lost drowsiness also came over him.

Later, he unknowingly fell asleep on Jiang Yan's wrist.

Jiang Yan gently took it off her wrist and placed it in her basket.

The little white dog in the basket glanced at the sleeping Lin Yun, then quietly climbed out and coiled itself around Jiang Yan's shoulder.

Jiang Yan caught a glimpse of the bluish mosaic out of the corner of her eye and couldn't help but laugh, "You woke up so quickly?"

She reached out her hand to it: "Come on up."

Xiao Bai's red vertical pupils lit up, and then in a flash, it landed on Jiang Yan's wrist like a pendant.

The markets in the world of cultivation are quite lively.

The streets were lined with all kinds of shops and roadside stalls. Jiang Yan was a little dazzled by the wide variety of goods on display.

After entering the market, Jiang Yan instructed the few animals behind her to conceal their presence.

They look no different from ordinary spirit pets now.

Jiang Yan used spirit stones to buy some vegetables that she usually had difficulty digging up, and then took those few to the spirit herb market.

Little rabbit Lingyue had already emerged from the basket and was following beside her, helping her search for useful medicinal herbs.

As for Xiaobai, it remained coiled on Jiang Yan's wrist.

Lin Yun was still asleep.

Bai Que Shen Yuchen and Hei Jiao Dongfang Chen followed behind at a leisurely pace.

They rarely came to places like this before, always thinking that these places were extremely messy and that low-level cultivators couldn't possibly have anything good there.

Given the current situation, we can't be so picky... Let's look around, maybe we can find something useful.

As for Feng Qingyu, he walked away alone after entering the market.

Jiang Yan stopped in front of a small stall. Perhaps out of instinct, she immediately recognized the good stuff among the pile of junk.

"Sister Yan!" Ling Yue had obviously noticed too, and excitedly rubbed against her ankle.

Jiang Yan had just picked up the few spiritual herbs when a figure snatched them away first.

The man snatched the herb from her hand and asked, "How many spirit stones is this, boss?"

Jiang Yan felt that the other person's voice was somewhat familiar, but she couldn't recognize who the pixelated figure was.

Ling Yue jumped onto the table in anger and shouted, "This is the one we chose first!"

The man glanced at the person beside him, then gritted his teeth and said, "Jiang Yan?!"

Jiang Yan raised an eyebrow. An old acquaintance?

Who is it?

She looked the person in front of her up and down, and then recognized the sword in his hand—that scumbag Yuheng?

A hint of hatred flashed in Yuheng's eyes. Last time in the back mountain of the Hehuan Sect, if his junior sister hadn't arrived in time, he might have been killed by Jiang Yan's spirit pets.

He was able to recover so quickly these past two days thanks to his junior sister's dual cultivation.

He was determined to avenge this!

Yuheng took out spirit stones from his purse and slapped them on the table. He looked at the rabbit squatting next to Jiang Yan and the green snake wrapped around her wrist.

She only has these two spirit pets with her today, so he should be able to handle them.

He taunted Jiang Yan, "Want it? Then come with me!"

Jiang Yan originally didn't want to pay any attention to this idiot; she found it disgusting to even look at such an ungrateful scumbag.

However, she still had to get what he had in his hands.

After all, he has already paid, so it would be unreasonable for her not to ask for more.

The two arrived at an alley. Jiang Yan raised an eyebrow at the spirit herb in his hand and said, "Give me the Snow Condensation Grass, and I'll deduct ten spirit stones from your bill."

Yuheng sneered: "You're dreaming!"

He clearly bought this for fifty spirit stones, but now it's only worth ten to her?

"If you want the Snow Condensation Grass, you'll pay with your life!"

He drew his longsword from his waist and thrust it at Jiang Yan. Jiang Yan dodged twice, but was exhausted.

As a modern person, she really isn't suited for fighting and killing...

The little rabbit beside him and the little snake on his wrist suddenly darted out and began to fight with him in the air.

Yuheng feinted an attack, then slashed at the rabbit with his sword. Jiang Yan's eyes darkened, and she flicked out a talisman from her fingertip, deflecting his sword in time.

Yuheng immediately swung his sword again to slash at the small snake!

"noob!"

Jiang Yan cried out in a panic.

In the nick of time, Lin Yun suddenly jumped out of the basket and headed straight for Yuheng!

Even though his cultivation has been damaged and he has returned to his original form, his original level is still much higher than Yuheng's, so he can still hold out for a while.

Jiang Yan frowned. There was no point in continuing to fight this scumbag. It would be a waste of time and their spiritual energy. They had to finish this quickly.

Her gaze shifted, and a few small, delicate green leaves materialized from her fingertips.

The emerald green leaf, shimmering with a jade-like light, hovered in her palm, poised to strike.

Xiao Mei exclaimed with delight, “Host, your ultimate attack can now take form! Quickly, try out its power!”

Jiang Yan's eyes narrowed, and she raised her hand to shoot the leaf in her hand towards Yu Heng!

The leaves instantly transformed into several streaks of cold light in the air, heading straight for Yuheng.

Yuheng sensed the approaching murderous aura and immediately dodged in a panic.

However, he had used up a lot of his spiritual energy in the struggle and was still hit by three pieces.

He stumbled and crashed into the wall behind him, looking down at the blade on his chest in disbelief.

This is Jiang Yan's ultimate move. She had been unable to solidify this thing before, how could this be?!

Yuheng looked up at Jiang Yan not far away, and saw that she was surrounded by a light pink light.

She actually leveled up?!

She's clearly a useless person who's cultivated for a hundred years but still can't break through to the Qi Refining stage, how could she possibly level up!

Could it be that she was practicing dual cultivation with those guys?!

Upon considering this possibility, Yuheng's eyes instantly darkened.

Jiang Yan was overjoyed. Winning meant she could level up?

This upgrade method is a bit wild, but it suits my taste!

Not far behind, Dongfang Chen and Shen Yuchen, who had rushed over, also found it unbelievable.

They used to be so engrossed in their work, day and night, but she's different; she can level up while sleeping, and she can level up even after winning battles...

If it weren't for the fact that the Heavenly Court's idle officials were discriminating against them, even a ghost wouldn't believe it!

Jiang Yan approached Yu Heng step by step, a sharp, emerald-green leaf between her fingers. Her gaze lightly swept past his face, as if she were contemplating how to torture him.

Yuheng instinctively stepped back, a fleeting look of fear in his eyes.

He was just hit in a vital spot, and his spiritual energy dissipated. He simply doesn't have the strength to deal with Jiang Yan anymore.

Yuheng never expected that he would be defeated by Jiang Yan in his lifetime!

How could this be! Something must have gone wrong!

He stared wide-eyed at the person in front of him in horror, then got up, clutching his wound, and fled as if his life depended on it.

Little White Rabbit Lingyue frowned and asked, "Sister Yan, aren't you going to pursue her?"

Jiang Yan waved her hand and bent down to pick up the snow-condensing grass from the ground.

Xiao Mei had said long ago that she couldn't kill anyone, nor could she fall in love. She needed to sever her connection with this world as soon as possible in order to go back; otherwise, she would be stuck in this world forever.

However, although they can't kill people, they can still scare and torture them.

That attack just now hit Yuheng's vital point. He'll probably need to spend some effort to repair his spiritual power. As for leveling up, forget about it.

She wanted to make the scumbag man pay back all the benefits he had gotten from the original owner of the body, with interest!

Jiang Yan picked up her basket and walked forward in a good mood.

She found an inn, sat down, and ordered a pot of tea. Then she called out to the blue mosaic tiles not far away, "Lin Yun, come here."

Xiao Bai was startled and subconsciously turned around to look at Lin Yun, who was talking to Dongfang Chen and the others.

The rabbit Lingyue beside it silently said, "Go quickly, to be a snake, you have to be brave!"

Little White blinked its red snake eyes, then hissed as it crawled toward Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan looked at the little snake that was quickly moving towards her and laughed, "You're quite obedient this time, saving me a freezing talisman."

She gently stroked the snake's body with her fingertips.

Because its head was blocked, its scales, gleaming with a cold blue light, could be clearly seen, layer upon layer, like an impeccable suit of armor.

It feels cool and smooth to the touch, it's fantastic.

"You weren't hurt just now, were you? You can't get hurt again, because the recovery time is long, and the time to break the bond will be extended."

Xiaobai nodded, and the snake's head rubbed against her palm.

It seems Ling Yue was right; she really does need to break off her contract with those people.

Jiang Yan was taken aback, then gently tapped the snake's head: "That's more like it~ A proud snake is not as cute as an obedient snake. A snake should be well-behaved and sensible!"

"Here, have another pill!"

Not far away, Lin Yun turned his head and saw Jiang Yan stroking the head of the little white snake, saying gently, "Be good like this next time, Lin Yun."

Lin Yun: "!!!"

He turned his head and said to the big black dragon, the white sparrow, and the 'Gongsun Jin' who was watching the show, "See that? This green tea snake not only imitates my appearance, but now it's even impersonating me!"

Bai Que: "She can't tell the difference between you and that little white snake at all, it seems... she has something wrong with her eyes?"

Lin Yun was startled, and vaguely remembered that Jiang Yan did not recognize Dongfang Chen's true form when they first met.

He frowned and slowly moved towards Jiang Yan, then was suddenly grabbed by her. She smiled and said, "Little Bai, you're here~"

Lin Yun was about to tell her that his name was Lin Yun! He would never change his name or surname!

The next second she picked it up from the table and placed it in her palm, and he almost instinctively reached for Jiang Yan's wrist.

Oh well, a name isn't a big deal...

Shen Yuchen frowned as he looked at Lin Yun, who was wrapped around Jiang Yan's wrist. Had he gone mad? He was supposed to be a descendant of the Medicine King Valley, yet he was competing for favor with a mere Nascent Soul stage white snake?
