Chapter 9 009 The Invisible Competition for Favor
The little white snake was smaller than Lin Yun's original body. Although it had reached the Nascent Soul stage, it was still smaller than Lin Yun.
Lin Yun's hissing threat made it instinctively curl itself into a ball.
The rabbit glanced at Jiang Yan, who was treating the white sparrow, then picked up the little white snake and hid to the side.
The green snake watched the two fleeing creatures and wagged its tail with a hint of smugness.
Then he glanced sideways at Jiang Yan, who was applying medicine to Bai Que.
To see its wound clearly, Jiang Yan covered the sparrow's face with a large leaf... otherwise, it would just look like a white mosaic, which would be inconvenient.
Shen Yuchen felt uncomfortable and unconsciously shook her neck, causing leaves to fall from her head.
Jiang Yan turned her head, and her vision was immediately blurred again. She sighed, picked up the leaf, and put it back on.
Then she gently stroked the bird's head twice and said tenderly, "Good boy/girl~ It'll be over soon~"
It accidentally touched a few feathers on Shen Yuchen's head, startling it so much that it froze instantly, its body tensing up involuntarily.
The little paws uncontrollably turned pink, and it stood motionless like a sculpture.
Jiang Yan finished treating his wounds and, seeing him still standing there blankly, couldn't help but chuckle, "So cute!"
As she spoke, she couldn't help but reach out and gently touch Shen Yuchen's pink little hand.
But what I was really thinking was, "It's been so long since I've had braised chicken feet, I really miss that taste!"
Shen Yuchen felt a light, tingling sensation on his claws. He jerked awake, then flapped his wings and fled as if running away... He even forgot to say 'thank you'.
Jiang Yan waved to the black mosaic not far away, and Dongfang Chen quickly came to her side.
When it saw her about to put the leaf on his head again, it instinctively frowned and let out a low growl.
Jiang Yan realized that it didn't like having its face covered, and her outstretched hand froze, leaving nothing behind.
"Never mind, um, could you shrink a bit?"
It's huge, and it takes forever to apply the medicine, which is quite a hassle.
Dongfang Chen frowned, thinking impatiently: So much trouble!
However, in the next instant, it shrank its body, transforming itself into a size similar to that of the green snake.
Jiang Yan used a leaf to cover its face, and in her vision, Dongfang Chen's black scales shimmered like obsidian in the sunlight.
Even though he had shrunk, the imposing aura he exuded was still not to be underestimated. Even just sitting there quietly, the chill emanating from him made people shiver involuntarily.
Seeing that she hadn't moved, Dongfang Chen urged, "Can you hurry up?"
"Okay! Coming right away!"
Jiang Yan smiled, her eyes narrowing, and casually placed the leaf in her hand on the dragon's head. "Isn't this adorable!"
Then I casually scratched its neck.
Under the leaves, Dongfang Chen, who was about to bare his teeth, froze, standing there as if he had been electrocuted.
Before he could react, Jiang Yan's fingers lightly brushed against his dragon tail again.
The dragon's body tensed instantly!
How dare she! It seems Lin Yun was right, she really is a lecherous woman! She's far too outrageous!
Based on what she just did, she would have been dead eight hundred times over in the Demon Palace!
Just as Dongfang Chen was about to retract his dragon tail, she grabbed him, saying, "Don't move, there's a small wound here."
The warmth of his palm contrasted sharply with his naturally cool demeanor. The subtle warmth seeped into his black scales, easily dispelling the anger that had just arisen in his heart.
A moment later, Jiang Yan finished treating his wound, removed the leaf from his head, and smiled, "All done."
After saying that, she looked up at 'Gongsun Jin' who was walking over with a bowl and chopsticks not far away: "You can take your medicine yourself."
Gongsun Jin raised an eyebrow and smiled slightly: "Alright."
He really didn't intend to trouble her today. That little immortal was too rigid. If the owner of this body were to disregard everything and return the soul to its rightful place, he might not be able to suppress it a second time in his current state.
In the corner, the little white snake was chatting with the little rabbit: "This must be Miss Jiang Yan?"
Ling Yue nodded blankly: "Yes, it's her."
Ling Yue wasn't surprised that Xiao Bai could guess Jiang Yan's identity. After all, after the great battle, Jiang Yan's name resounded throughout the Three Realms, and all the senior and junior sisters from various sects envied her and her partners.
It's quite normal for Xiaobai to guess their identities based on their original forms.
Ling Yue used to think Jiang Yan was incredibly lucky, but now he doesn't think so anymore...
Xiao Bai's snake-like eyes, like red gemstones, stared unblinkingly at Jiang Yan not far away, and he said in a calm voice, "Miss Jiang is a good person."
The little rabbit nodded and said, "She is indeed a good person. If it were anyone else, they would definitely break the contract immediately, but Sister Jiang wants to help them transform into human form before breaking the contract."
"She wants to wait until they transform into human form before breaking the bond?" Xiao Bai asked, somewhat surprised.
Ling Yue nodded and said, "Mm."
He overheard what Jiang Yan said yesterday when she was applying medicine to the green snake.
Jiang Yan tidied up the medicine jars on the table, went out to get a straw hat and a basket, and prepared to go out.
Ling Yue immediately called Xiao Bai to her feet: "Sister, are you going out? We'll go with you."
Jiang Yan smiled and said, "I'm going to the market to buy some things, and while I'm at it, I'll see if I can exchange spirit stones for some healing medicine."
The little rabbit said excitedly, "Then Little White and I will go with you. We recognize rare herbs and medicinal plants, and we can dig some up when we pass by the mountain!"
Jiang Yan smiled and nodded: "Okay!"
It's always a good thing to have more people help you!
She put down her basket and let them crawl inside.
Lin Yun, standing to the side, looked at the little white snake and grew increasingly displeased with it.
It hissed as it crawled over: "I'll go help too, I'll need those things anyway."
As a descendant of the Medicine King Valley, how could he be absent from the search for medicinal herbs?!
Bai Que, who was standing nearby, also came over and said, "I'll go too."
Although she was their Daoist partner, they didn't have much affection for each other. Shen Yuchen felt a little embarrassed for troubling her these past two days.
Jiang Yan nodded, gesturing for them to climb into the basket together.
The little green snake hissed as it crawled inside, its green pupils staring at the little white snake and the rabbit.
The little white snake shrank its body and climbed onto the basket on its own.
Ling Yue pretended not to notice the oppressive aura emanating from Lin Yun, and stared innocently at the green snake.
He didn't care; he only listened to Sister Yan. He wouldn't leave unless Sister Yan told him to!
Lin Yun gritted his teeth in anger.
Shen Yuchen squatted on the other side of the basket.
When Jiang Yan carried them to the door, she found that 'Gongsun Jin' and Dongfang Chen had also followed.
This gave her the sudden feeling that she was about to take her pet for a walk.
Jiang Yan wasn't very familiar with the way, after all, she had only been in this world for a few days. She originally wanted to use talismans to guide her, but with so many 'capable people' around her, she naturally didn't need to waste talismans.
Jiang Yan was panting slightly as she came down from the mountain, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her fair neck.
The little white snake coiled around her left shoulder, secretly using its spiritual power to give her the coolness it naturally possessed.
Jiang Yan felt the cool air wash over her and gently stroked its little head: "Thank you, Little White! What a good snake~"
Xiao Bai blushed and lowered her head shyly.
Lin Yun craned his neck and hissed at the small white snake that was turning red and warm.
He silently said to Xiaobai, "Come in!"
The little white snake glanced at it innocently, and after receiving the threat, it had no choice but to crawl into the basket.
Then the green snake darted up and nestled on Jiang Yan's shoulder and neck, secretly flicking its tongue at the little white snake once more.
Xiao Bai subconsciously coiled its slender snake body even tighter.
The next instant, its body began to change color uncontrollably...
First it was red, then black, then patterned... and finally it turned into the same cyan as Lin Yun.
Ling Yue exclaimed in surprise, "Little White, you can actually change color?!"
The little white snake said helplessly, "I used spiritual power just now, and it's a bit out of control..."
Ling Yue: "Won't that worsen your injury?"
Hearing their conversation, Jiang Yan said nervously, "Let me see."
She put down her basket and looked up to see two clumps of green mosaic.
This damn face blindness...when will it ever get better?!
She tentatively asked, "Uh...who is Xiaobai?"
The few mosaics standing in a row were taken aback. Although the little white snake's body was now blue, its eyes were completely different from Lin Yun's.
Lin Yun has bluish-green pupils, while Xiao Bai has red ones.
She can't tell the difference?
Just as the little white snake beside Ling Yue was about to crawl over, Lin Yun suddenly flicked his tail to block its path.
Then, in a flash, it wrapped around Jiang Yan's wrist and said in the tone of the little white snake, "I'm here."
After saying that, he didn't forget to turn around and glare at the little rabbit and the little white snake that had changed color.
He hasn't even broken the bond yet, and he's already eyeing his Daoist partner. He even dares to try and transform into her likeness to seduce her. That's outrageous!
How could his reputation as the heir of Medicine King Valley be ruined by a wild snake cultivator?
They must be shown who the real king is!
The two little ones dared not utter a sound, intimidated by Lin Yun's imposing presence and his accomplices.
Jiang Yan stared blankly at the blue mosaic on her wrist: "How did you become so ugly?"
Lin Yun: "!!!"
So, in her eyes, his true color was considered ugly?!
I'll be driven crazy by this woman sooner or later!
Jiang Yan patted its head and said with heartache, "Don't worry, Little White, I will definitely find a way to help you turn back to white."
Lin Yun gritted her teeth and said angrily, "No, I like cyan!"
Jiang Yan: "..."
How come a change in color can change one's personality?
Then it dawned on her: she was sick, so it was understandable that her personality was a little strange.
She gently tapped the snake's head twice and smiled, "Let's keep going. I'll help you check things out in town."
"snort!"
The little green snake arrogantly turned his head away. He refused to change color; he loved green the most! No matter what, his green was the most beautiful!
Jiang Yan picked up the remaining birds and put them back into her basket before hurrying towards town.
Shen Yuchen frowned, still pondering why Jiang Yan hadn't recognized Lin Yun and Xiaobai earlier.
Behind them, the giant black dragon and 'Gongsun Jin' exchanged a silent conversation: "She's a bit strange."
Gongsun Jin casually tugged at the corner of his lips, a playful smile spreading across his face: "No, it is rather interesting."
