The snake clan cornered He Ying and her people against the wall, and just as they were about to bite them, they were suddenly bound and thrown away by a huge vine.
Hou Qiqu, tears streaming down her face, rushed over and helped He Ying up. "Sister Xiaoying, are you alright? Where does it hurt? You're bleeding, waaaaah!"
He Ying was stunned, staring blankly at Hou Qiqu, "You...why are you back again?"
No sooner had she finished speaking than she heard screams coming from behind. He Ying quickly pushed Hou Qiqu aside and turned to look back and forward.
The once majestic snake clan is now scattered and lying in the ruins, some barely alive, and some even revealing their true forms.
"Trash" Dou Shiliu kicked the snake-man's buttocks expressionlessly, sending it flying far away.
She said, "With this little fighting power, you dare to try and slaughter an entire clan? And you even dare to steal my cannon fodder's peaches?"
"That's absolutely shameless!"
Bai Tuan: "..."
He Ying stared blankly at the majestic and heroic woman in front of him, who had indifferently beaten the snake clan to a pulp.
Stumbling to her feet, she pushed away Hou Qiqu's hands that tried to help her up, and knelt down abruptly before Dou Shiliu, pleading, "Please, young lady, accept me as your disciple!"
Turning around, Dou Shiliu was startled to see He Ying kneeling in front of her: "What nonsense are you spouting?"
Why did he kneel down in front of her right away?
He Ying stared intently at Dou Shiliu and spoke again, "Please, young lady, accept me as your disciple!" He then kowtowed to the ground.
Dou Shiliu could hear the thuds even three steps away from her, which showed how hard she had hit the ground.
Hou Qiqu was still in a daze when he saw He Ying kneeling in front of Dou Shiliu. When he saw a trickle of blood seeping from her forehead, he hurriedly ran over to help her up, but was stopped by her.
"Don't help me up!"
Monkey Seven-Bend froze, "Sister Xiaoying..."
"You've really messed up this time! You've truly shown me my shortcomings! I must pay the price for my incompetence!"
Dou Shiliu glanced at He Ying kneeling on the ground with surprise. Originally, it was Hou Qiqu who brought the peaches back to the clan, which aroused the snake clan's desire to seize them. However, He Ying felt that it was because of her own inadequacy that such a disaster had occurred.
Monkey Seven's eyes reddened, and she sobbed, "Sister Xiaoying...it was clearly my fault..."
He Ying, kneeling on the ground, interrupted him, "Is it wrong for us spirit monkeys to bring back a few peaches? We were caught off guard by the snake clan, and everyone here knows why—it's all because of a wild spirit beast I rescued outside! I let the wolf into the house!"
He Ying turned her gaze to Wen Hao, who lay motionless on the ground, and said coldly, "Lock him in the dungeon! Once he recovers, he will surely slaughter the Serpent Clan!"
The monkey tribesmen behind him quickly and roughly took Wen Hao away. After all, how many of their tribesmen had died in this war? It was truly hateful!
Watching Wen Hao being led away by his clansmen, the coldness in He Ying's eyes softened slightly. She turned to Dou Shiliu and kowtowed deeply again, solemnly saying, "Please, senior, you must accept me!"
She truly has great respect for the strong!
Dou Shiliu thought about it and realized that if she accepted He Ying, it would be like adding another troublesome person. If He Ying was bullied in the future, Dou Shiliu would have to come and help her cause trouble. It was an unfair deal.
So Dou Shiliu refused cleanly and decisively.
"Senior! You really can reconsider!" He Ying was unwilling to let Dou Shiliu go. She knew that if she became Dou Shiliu's apprentice, she would reach unprecedented heights.
Seeing He Ying pleading so desperately, Monkey Seven felt a pang of sorrow. He stepped forward and knelt down as well, pleading, "Girl! Please take Sister Xiao Ying in! She's very hardworking! She's the most promising fighter among our Spirit Monkey Clan!"
"Oh, no."
He Ying's eyes were filled with sadness and sorrow.
Dou Shiliu remained expressionless and unmoved, but seeing their sincerity, he reluctantly offered to help them.
He casually searched for a secret manual in his spatial storage and glanced at it.
Water Spirit Technique?
No, this isn't suitable for a spirit monkey to cultivate with. He tossed it aside, then looked around and found a tattered book. He glanced at it and thought, "This one's barely acceptable."
Dou Shiliu threw him directly into He Ying's arms. "I won't take you as my disciple, but I was partly to blame for this, so you can use this to slowly cultivate."
He Ying was clearly dissatisfied with the result, because she really wanted Dou Shiliu to be her master.
Just as she was about to speak, Dou Shiliu glanced at her with cold eyes, rendering her completely immobile. Her hair stood on end, and a chill suddenly rose in her heart. Sweat poured down her face, and her throat felt as if it had been squeezed, preventing her from speaking again.
Sure enough, the wise men were not very willing to take a clever monkey as their disciple.
He Ying had no choice but to give up, kneeling on the ground.
"My husband gave you this peach. You can eat one; paired with the secret manual, it will absolutely make you incredibly powerful."
Monkey Seven-Bend's eyes widened in surprise, and he said embarrassedly, "That peach was already taken by the snake clan."
Dou Shiliu replied expressionlessly, "Oh."
I'm incompetent.
He Ying clearly saw through Dou Shiliu's indifference. She gritted her teeth and said, "Thank you for bestowing the secret manual, senior. The snake clan will be wiped out in a few months!"
Dou Shiliu nodded; she did believe that He Ying indeed had the courage to do so.
"Now that this matter is over, I'm leaving."
Seeing that Dou Shiliu was about to leave, He Ying hurriedly got up from the ground, but because she had been kneeling for a while, she was numb and almost fell to the ground.
Monkey Qiqu reacted quickly and caught her.
"Senior, why don't you stay overnight in my clan?" He Ying wanted to treat her with great hospitality.
"My husband is looking for me, so I won't stay any longer."
