These words in themselves are enough to make people shudder, and coupled with the strange beast's hateful cry that almost seemed to drip water, and a pair of bloodshot eyes like copper bells, it makes people shudder.
"Listen to me, you beast. I've told you many times that my name is not Hua Biyue. Don't you have a brain smaller than a dung beetle?" Feng Xue didn't care what the threat was and retorted without any hesitation.
"Hua Biyue!" The angry cry was almost squeezed out from between the teeth.
"That's fine. It's better than you pretending to call me Big Sister." Feng Xue twisted her lips, "Just like you are pleasing to the eye as an animal than in human form, and having a broken arm is less worrying than having one..."
After saying this, Hua Biliu could no longer hold back, and without caring that his huge body was still covered in blood, he pounced on him. Feng Xue also jumped high, raised his head and let out a long roar from his throat, and the thin human figure immediately collided with Hua Biliu's giant palm.
This scene was extremely funny and absurd. The two sides were deadlocked for only a blink of an eye, and the size contrast between them was as unreasonable as a mosquito fighting against a tall and strong adult man.
Feng Xue moved too quickly for Luo Jiujiang to stop her, let alone offer himself as a substitute. The moment her slender arm met the Taotie's ferocious claws, both Luo Jiujiang and Xie Chun held their breath.
At the touch, Feng Xue coughed up blood and flew backward like a kite with a broken string. She landed in the snow, sending up a cloud of flying mist. Two breaths later, Feng Xue scrambled to her feet, her frosty hair a mess, speckled with silver snowflakes.
Yet she was smiling.
"Well, you don't dare to kill me after all—your old bastard father might never let you do that to me, right?"
Hua Biliu roared again, but this time his voice was inevitably tinged with impatience and embarrassment. "You wish! If Daddy doesn't allow me to kill you, where will I get my Yi Yuan Dan? For the sake of our blood connection, if you give me both arms now, I will spare your life."
Yiyuan Dan, so this is it. Feng Xue sighed inwardly, finally understanding where Hua Biliu's maturity, now only a hair's breadth away from the growth stage, and his cultivation level skyrocketing to the foundation-building stage, came from.
But now that things have come to this, there is no point in delving into it. The most urgent thing is—
Feng Xue sneered, turned, and ran. Before she turned, she glanced at Hua Biliu. Even though the beast was towering over her, and even though their sizes and even strength were clearly different, her scornful, sarcastic look, as if she were looking at an ant, instantly ignited Hua Biliu's rage.
"She's really crazy!" Xie Chuncan gritted his teeth and was about to rush forward, but was held down by Luo Jiujiang. "Brother Xie, guard it!"
Feng Xue wasn't a masochist, so she wouldn't deliberately provoke Hua Biliu when the enemy was stronger and she was weaker. The only reason she was provoking him so obviously was, of course, to ensure the safety of Xiao Ren, who was still in seclusion and advancing.
She wanted to lead Hua Biliu away from the snow cave, the farther the better.
Feng Xue had only taken two steps when she suddenly sensed something was wrong behind her. She glanced back, her soul trembling with fear. She saw Hua Biliu laughing wildly and spewing a bloody breath of anger, aiming squarely at the snow cave. "Big sister, do you think I'm stupid? First I'll kill those three pieces of your flesh, then eat your limbs, dig out your eyes, and pluck out that troublemaking tongue of yours!"

Inside the Spirit Snake Hall, everything seemed as peaceful as before.
However, there were nine snakes swarming behind Zhen Shuangliu, ready for battle, and they happened to be confronting the middle-aged man in red robe opposite them.
The atmosphere in the hall was tense and oppressive, ready to explode at any moment!
"The strange beast Taotie came to my humble home with such fanfare. I'm afraid it must have eaten too much and felt it was irritating its stomach." Zhen Shuangliu said indifferently. The skin between his eyebrows cracked a little, and a small snake with a blood bead in its mouth emerged, hissing and spitting out its tongue.
"You're wrong. A glutton is never full." The red-robed man gave a bloodthirsty smile, his voice filled with an eagerness he couldn't contain. "I was just passing by, and I didn't expect to encounter an extra snack as a surprise. I was wondering who it was, but it turns out the little snake that escaped a hundred years ago is hiding here."
Zhen Shuangliu looked back coldly, the glittering snake between his eyebrows had already stuck out half of its body, and the threat was obvious.
The red-robed man remained unmoved, simply saying to himself, "Never mind. I'm too lazy to clean up his household affairs. I'm just here to have a snack. Even the smallest mosquito counts as meat. You have a tiny bit of 'source' on your spirit snake, right? Just offer it all up yourself, and I won't make it difficult for you."
"Lord Taotie has been isolated from the world for too long, and can do nothing but dream." Zhen Shuangliu smiled grimly, his eyes burning like ghost fire, and his tone was light and slow, "You don't know, a hundred years ago..."
Having said that, Zhen Shuangliu suddenly changed his face, raised his hand and slammed the table, and nine snakes immediately formed a formation behind him. The hall was instantly filled with a misty and strange poisonous fog!
"A hundred years ago, I swore a solemn oath that I would kill every single one of you who are of a different species!" Zhen Shuangliu spoke each word with a flicker of ghostly light in his eyes. "Who says that only you, the different species, can tell the fate of all living things in the world?"
Despite this display, the red-robed figure's expression remained unfazed. He even scoffed, "You ignorant little snake... Indeed, you only hold half a drop of Dao Source, no more." He stretched his body, his scarlet tongue licking his lips before suddenly opening his mouth wide, its maw extending to his ears. "Come, let me teach you the power of 'Source' that you cannot contend with."
