Feng Su glanced in their direction.
The sword he was holding was deflected by the sudden, horizontal spiritual energy.
The boy quickly turned around to avoid the giant python's subsequent attack.
He gave Chen Qingping a cold look, his face full of apology.
"Sorry, Junior Brother Feng, my hand slipped, my hand slipped."
Feng Su did not expose the man's poor acting skills.
He slightly raised his thin lips, and the Yu Liu Sword instantly shone brightly.
With a soft thud, the sword pierced the python's body directly in front of Chen Qingping.
The foul-smelling black blood splattered all over him.
Chen Qingping froze, his face even more foul than the blood of a stinking python.
"I'm sorry," Feng Su said softly.
He then ignored the man's reaction and devoted himself entirely to fighting the python.
Chen Qingping rolled to the ground to avoid the giant python's subsequent retaliation.
He gritted his teeth fiercely.
What a sly fellow Feng Su! He'll remember this debt!
...
One month later
Forbidden Area behind the Main Peak
The white-clad woman sitting cross-legged on the large rock withdrew her spiritual energy.
Yu Yan's eyelashes trembled slightly, and her peach blossom eyes remained calm and still for a moment when she opened them.
A single star mark adorned the space between her brows, highlighting her exquisitely beautiful features.
The woman's body seemed to be frozen in place.
Until those eyes gradually took on a wild and unrestrained color, the whole person instantly came alive.
"Oh."
Yu Yan let out a soft chuckle.
The Azure Feather Sword appeared, and with a slight flick of her wrist, the slender blade flew towards the river at the foot of the mountain.
All that could be heard was a shrill, hoarse scream.
The woman frowned and tilted her head, quickly blocking out her hearing.
"Speak, why are you acting so suspiciously?"
Yu Yan looked at the old crocodile trembling as it climbed ashore, her tone leisurely, not at all like she was questioning it.
The old crocodile was pierced through the back by the Azure Feather Sword.
Its two wide eyes gurgled, and its long, scaly body kept moving closer to Yu Yan.
"Help me..."
Once it reached the foot of the large rock, the crocodile raised its head, its eyes filled with tears.
Yu Yan tensed up, thinking that she needed to block out not only her hearing but also her sight.
She thought it in her mind and she did it.
Finally, I can no longer see the other person's shabby appearance.
Yu Yan's mood finally improved.
"You're not young anymore."
The woman had her eyes closed, her arms resting on her knees, and her palms supporting her chin.
In other words, he had met his senior brothers, masters, and even grandmasters and great-grandmasters before, so why did he need her to save him?
Or did he fail to get help before her?
If neither her master nor her senior brother would save him, she certainly wouldn't take on this responsibility.
A long tear slid down the corner of the old crocodile's eye.
The drops fell on the dark green lawn.
"I am only a thousand years old..."
"Um?"
Yu Yan suddenly opened her eyes.
This time, she didn't care how unsightly the other party was; she carefully examined the old crocodile.
Finally, a conclusion was reached.
"You're lying to me," Yu Yan said, squinting her eyes.
To be honest, she couldn't tell his age.
Her intuition told her that he must be more than a thousand years old.
Where does intuition come from? From his appearance.
Yu Yan closed her eyes again.
"I'm not lying to you, fellow Daoist, only you can save me..."
The old crocodile's voice sounded weak and feeble.
The wound inflicted by the Azure Feather Sword continued to bleed.
The blood was bluish-green, and when it flowed out, it blended in with his crocodile skin.
It's almost impossible to see unless you look very closely.
Why should I save you? Tell me your story.
Yu Yan sensed Qing Yu's restlessness and assumed he was rejecting her.
With a thought, she put the Azure Feather Sword back.
The bluish bloodstains on the thin sword were absorbed in an instant.
Yu Yan's consciousness was not focused on the sword, and her eyes were closed, so she did not see it.
