Chapter 66 066 I Just Like Her

Jiang Yan frowned as she looked at the petrified mosaic, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you?"

"N-nothing!" Lin Yun's snake-like face turned bright red, his head drooped, and his tongue began to tangle as he spoke haltingly.

Jiang Yan turned her head and glanced at the motionless white sparrow and the large black dragon on the ground, her doubts deepening.

What's wrong with all these mosaics?

Shen Yuchen stared at the green snake, which was so excited it was almost twisted into a pretzel, and felt inexplicably annoyed.

Although he didn't know exactly what he was angry about...

Dongfang Chen frowned and thought: Snakes are indeed creatures that are adept at using low-level and underhanded methods.

Feng Qingyu's calm eyes were fixed on the shameless snake, and she thought to herself, "It really is impossible to guard against."

He reached out and touched the corner of Jiang Yan's lips. "You got syrup on them, let me wipe it off for you."

Lin Yun's eyes widened suddenly. Where did this syrup come from?! This old devil is blatantly lying!

His tail swiftly wrapped around the old demon's restless wrist, tightening its grip secretly!

Jiang Yan had no idea about the unspoken competition between them, and simply smiled and said, "I'll do it myself."

Feng Qingyu blocked her outstretched hand with her other hand, saying indifferently, "You can't see it anyway."

He simply didn't like the scent of the snake lingering on her, so he had to personally wipe it off for her.

Jiang Yan felt his fingertips gently caressing the corner of her lips, which seemed a little too ambiguous...

Before she could speak again, the man had already stopped.

He also took the green snake that was coiled on her shoulder with him.

Feng Qingyu felt that it was safer to keep such a cunning thing in his hands.

Just as Lin Yun was about to jump back onto Jiang Yan, the old demon grabbed his tail.

Feng Qingyu held his tail tightly, giving a silent warning: "If you dare to move again, I'll break it."

Lin Yun turned and glared at the old demon: "If you dare to pinch my tail, I'll poison you to death!"

Feng Qingyu smiled and replied silently, "If you keep causing trouble, I'll tell her that you deliberately stole a kiss from her, that you're a little perverted snake, and that she'll throw you out to be a stray snake."

Lin Yun's eyes widened: "She...she won't believe you..."

Feng Qingyu raised an eyebrow: "Then why didn't you have the guts to tell her that you kissed her?"

"I didn't do it on purpose..."

"Eloquent and silver-tongued!"

He said it wasn't intentional last time, but then he crawled into his collar. Is it not intentional this time either? Who believes that?

Feng Qingyu held him by the waist, following Jiang Yan ahead at a leisurely pace.

He silently said to the snake, "Don't get too close to her next time, or I'll give you realgar."

"Why? By what right?!"

"Because you are not only shameless, but also have ill intentions; your mind is truly impure."

"I...I didn't!" Lin Yun retorted, sticking out his neck. "You're the one with impure thoughts, making her bathe you every other day, using Little Immortal Lord's body to seduce her all the time! But even if she really falls for this body, it has nothing to do with you, Feng Qingyu! Give me a break, you old monster!"

Feng Qingyu smiled slightly: "You're so angry, it seems you really care. Still won't admit you've fallen for her?"

"So what if I care! So what if I like her!"

Silence fell instantly.

Jiang Yan wouldn't know what they were saying through ventriloquism, but Dongfang Chen and Shen Yuchen could still hear it.

The two snakes looked at the green snake held in Feng Qingyu's hand with astonishment, as if they were doubting their own hearing...

Lin Yun remained calm, swaying his snake tail as he said composedly, "Since she is my Daoist partner, why can't I like her? Those of you who want to break the contract should do so as soon as possible; I certainly don't want to break it now."

Having said that, taking advantage of Feng Qingyu's momentary lapse in attention, he suddenly slipped from Feng Qingyu's palm and scurried towards Jiang Yan.

After catching up with her, it lightly leaped onto her instep and sat upright.

Looking up, I saw a man teasing the coal balls with a smile on his face.

He shouldn't like her... but he just couldn't control his heart.

No matter how he tries to escape or resist, every time she gets close, she easily stirs up a storm in the depths of his heart, overwhelming all his reason.

It's a feeling that's both strange and novel... and even addictive.

Lin Yun blushed slightly, tracing the curve of her ankle with his snake tail, anxiously wondering when he could finally transform into human form!

As Feng Qingyu walked behind, Gongsun Jin's voice suddenly echoed in her mind: "Why must the Demon Emperor be so reckless? Even if you desperately want to experience the pain of this love tribulation, among the thousands of women in the world, you can always find someone who will be devoted to you. Competing for someone's affections while standing next to Hua Xiu, don't you feel it's beneath your dignity?"

Feng Qingyu raised an eyebrow and asked casually, "Little Immortal Lord, do you know why those immortals who have attained enlightenment and ascended to heaven always lament the difficulty of overcoming the tribulations of love?"

"It's because people's attachments are too heavy. If they can let go of them as soon as possible, the clouds will part and the moon will shine."

"You're wrong. The reason they find the tribulations of love so difficult is never because of their obsession. It's because of the unpredictable and irresistible stirrings of the heart. Even if you've already ascended to the ranks of immortals and glimpsed the secrets of heaven, you'll only understand when you're truly in the midst of it—some trajectories you can calculate, but you can't avoid; some outcomes, even if you already know them, you can't change them in the slightest."

Feng Qingyu chuckled and said, "May the Immortal Lord still retain this clarity of mind when he personally undergoes tribulation in the future."

"The Demon Emperor is overthinking it. I have already ascended to godhood, so what calamity could I possibly face?"

Hopefully.

As they were talking, Feng Qingyu was already standing in the competition arena.

The disciples of the Hehuan Sect are about to take the stage, and Poyun is giving them instructions.

Ruoning looked at the few people who had suddenly appeared beside Jiang Yan and couldn't help but tease, "These guys have become your protectors now? They're keeping such a close eye on you. I was planning to take you to a nice place for drinks tonight, but it looks like you won't have the chance."

Jiang Yan's eyes lit up. "How could that be? I can hold my liquor pretty well!"

Ruoning glanced at the green snake coiled on her instep, staring at her warily, and waved her hand, saying, "Forget it, I don't want to be swallowed whole by those few."

"Senior sister, you've misunderstood. Actually, I..."

Before Jiang Yan could finish speaking, Po Yun walked over with a smile from not far away: "Junior Sister Jiang Yan, where did you go just now? Why did it take you so long to come back?"

"Um, something came up..."

Po Yun continued, "I've been hearing people say that your pills are very effective. I'm sure you've been practicing diligently lately. Could you take out two of your pills so I can take a look at them?"

“No problem!” Jiang Yan took out a bottle of pills from her purse and handed it over.

Po Yun lowered his head and sniffed, then frowned and said with delight, "Junior Sister has really made great progress recently."

Ruoning reached out and took a sniff: "Good stuff! Junior sister's skills are really good now!"

Jiang Yan smiled and said, "It's alright. Brother Yao, please distribute this among everyone. Come find me when you've finished eating."

Po Yun nodded: "Then I will thank you on their behalf, Junior Sister."

Although the medicine cannot increase their level in a short time, it can help them stabilize their aura, which is indeed beneficial in every way.

Po Yun walked away with the medicine bottle, and Ruo Ning came to Jiang Yan's side and said mysteriously, "Junior Sister, I also have something good to give you!"

Jiang Yan asked in confusion, "What?"

Ruoning casually shoved a bottle of pills into her hand: "This is the advanced version of the one I gave you last time!"

"ah?"

Jiang Yan opened it and took a sniff. Immediately, a rich, alluring floral scent wafted towards her, making her momentarily lose her composure.

She instinctively reached out to return it, but said, "No, no, senior sister, I don't need this!"

"You'll need it!" Ruoning pushed her hand away. "Don't be so shy. Life is short, so let's enjoy it while we can."

"Um, thank you, senior sister, but I really..."

"You have to use it!"

"..."

The two women pushed and shoved each other back and forth. Lin Yun, who was squatting to the side, looked up at them with his snake tail swaying. He opened his mouth as if to say: Why are you being so polite, fellow disciples? If it really doesn't work out, just give it to me.

Before he could even speak, something "thud" fell into his mouth...
