Zhu Yi didn't care about the little snake girl's gaze. Anyway, with Su Linyuan by her side, she wasn't afraid at all.
To assert her dominance, she subtly moved closer to Su Linyuan, clinging to his arm, her manipulative smile unmistakable: "Brother Linyuan, are you very familiar with them?"
Despite the sweet, delicate voice, Su Linyuan sensed that this seemingly simple question was riddled with hidden traps. 85
"No, it's just that I rescued a nest of baby female snakes when I first came to Qingyuan Town." Su Linyuan was a little embarrassed. "They are snakes, and they didn't have any signs of harming people, so I didn't take them away."
"Oh, so chivalrous~" Zhu Yi's voice was ambiguous, and Su Linyuan shuddered as soon as he heard it.
With a strong survival instinct, she quickly added, "I don't encounter them that often..."
Zhu Yi nodded, indicating her understanding: "Brother Lin Yuan is a spirit snake, I know that. Spirit snakes are much prettier than demon snakes!"
"Hiss!" A black shadow flashed by. Su Linyuan reacted quickly, holding his long sword against the little female snake's neck, but did not kill her.
Zhu Yi followed Su Linyuan's sword light and saw the demonic snake that she had just struck at its vital point.
...
Snakes hold grudges and feel uncomfortable if they don't seek revenge, so Su Linyuan didn't skin him alive to prevent the hatred from continuing.
"Hiss~" I'm not having it, I'm going to bite back!
“No, you are a highly venomous serpent; she can’t withstand it,” Su Linyuan said calmly.
"I will not agree to your request to cultivate together. From now on, you should find a quiet place to cultivate properly and follow the righteous path. Even demonic serpents can ascend one day. If you do anything immoral, then don't blame me for being ruthless."
In the biting cold wind, the black-winged youth embraced the red-clad girl and disappeared down the winding mountain road.
They were going to the mountain area the weasel had mentioned.
Without the little snake girls bothering him, Su Linyuan asked with a stern face, "You're quite the angler?"
"Huh?" Zhu Yi was confused. "What?"
"Judging from your tone, you seem to have a lot of experience?"
Zhu Yi chuckled and interrupted, "I was just trying to appease those little devils. They look like ugly and stupid little creatures who need to be taught."
As she spoke, her confidence waned, so Zhu Yi simply shut up.
Su Linyuan, however, was quite persistent, walking ahead in a sullen manner.
The little snake girls, standing still in the wind and snow, chattered amongst themselves, discussing what "fishing" meant.
Finally, the little ones who couldn't figure it out all transformed into their original forms and chased after them, this time they changed their targets.
Su Linyuan is handsome, but he's completely clueless about romance.
The women tried to seduce him several times, but failed each time.
For a young female demon snake who has never tasted meat, this is utterly disgraceful!
The sisters discussed it and decided to go find that little girl in the red dress and learn what "fishing" is.
Sure enough, there were signs of human activity in the mountain stream.
The little weasel showed Zhu Yi one of the footprints on one side.
There are traces of three or four people who lived here, and the messy footprints are interspersed with traces of snakes that have slithered through them.
Zhu Yi squatted down to examine it carefully, but didn't find anything useful or exciting.
“One day.” Su Linyuan finally spoke up, offering Zhu Yi some clarification.
"There were people living here just a day ago. They must have been a few young people who had fled and were taking shelter from the snowstorm, but they were caught by the demon snake."
"What will happen to them if they escape and get caught again?" Zhu Yi asked with deep concern.
Su Linyuan nodded: "I don't know."
The unspoken words on the man's handsome, indifferent face were: "Skin them alive, pull out their tendons, and throw them into a snake pit. If they happen to encounter a beautiful girl, the consequences will be even more cruel."
"I brought Jinbao's fur with me, and I hope Jinbao won't disappoint me too much." A tuft of white dog fur lay in Zhu Yi's palm, and the Buddha Fire Technique gently ignited it.
After Jinbao advanced to the next level, his fur turned from trash into treasure, making him a perfect substitute for an ordinary dog in tracking a general direction over long distances.
The dog hair burned away completely, and the inspiration in the well-known direction that Zhu Yi had anticipated did not materialize.
The barrier in the mountain stream changed, and the snow-white mountain path instantly turned pitch black.
"Be careful! It is..." Before Su Linyuan could finish his sentence, he disappeared from Zhu Yi's sight.
Zhu Yi became alert, looked around, and confirmed that she and Su Linyuan had entered the snow snake's trap.
"Hahaha? What a fine young lady!" The snow snake's voice was aged, revealing lust and greed as it appraised Zhu Yi. "Golden Core stage cultivation, truly promising for her age!"
"You cowardly fellow, of course I'd take you in, otherwise why would I bother with you?" Zhu Yi showed no fear whatsoever, her posture arrogant, not taking the snow snake seriously at all.
The snow snake asked curiously, "Everyone else is crying and sobbing, why are you like this... different from everyone else?"
"Guess what your lover is doing right now?"
"I didn't expect him to fall for it so easily this time. I've been hunting him down for so long without success, but as soon as you showed up, he actually offered himself up as bait... Ah!"
The cave was dark when a fiery red aura suddenly appeared opposite Zhu Yi. Su Linyuan's figure was lithe, and the Dragon Abyss Sword plunged fiercely into the snow snake's back.
