Chapter 248 Helping Xiao Jingchen Escape His Predicament, Promising Imperial Blessing
"You will only have a chance to survive if you escape there." Hearing Ji Feng's words, Lin Luoxi sneered a few times, but she knew that Ji Feng was right.
If Xiao Jingchen were to get into trouble here, the emperor would be furious, and ordinary people like them would be unable to bear it and would also suffer a catastrophic disaster.
In order to help Xiao Jingchen escape danger, Lin Luoxi had no choice but to follow the route she remembered and show Ji Feng and the others a way to survive.
“Miss Lin, I…” Ji Feng felt a little guilty towards Lin Luoxi.
"Don't say anything now. Let's ensure your master's safety first. Hurry up and go." Lin Luoxi planned to stay behind alone to hold off the spirit snake.
"Miss Lin, let's go together." Xiao Jingchen didn't expect that at the critical moment of life and death, Lin Luoxi would not only not abandon them, but also intend to use her own strength to help them hold off the spirit snake and give them a chance to escape.
"Stop talking nonsense and get going. Don't forget, I have the ability to tame bears. Maybe I can tame this one too."
Lin Luoxi didn't want Xiao Jingchen and his subordinates to be here; not only would they not be of any help, but they might even be a hindrance to him.
"Master, let's hurry up, Miss Lin is here..." Ji Feng knew that this was immoral, but as long as his master's life could be saved, what did this little bit of morality matter?
Without a second thought, they summoned Lei Ming, and together they each took one side of Xiao Jingchen and quickly drove away.
The spirit snake seemed to smell the scent of the treasure it had guarded for many years on Xiao Jingchen. When it saw Xiao Jingchen leave, its pupils narrowed and it tried to chase after him.
Seeing this, Lin Luoxi, holding a dagger, stood in front of the spirit snake with a look of fearlessness.
"I'm the one who dug up your ginseng. If you have any problems, come at me." Lin Luoxi swallowed hard, terrified, when she saw the spirit snake reveal its entire body.
Given the snake's enormous head, it wouldn't even be enough to fill a gap in its teeth if it swallowed her whole.
"Miss Lin..." Xiao Jingchen's eyes widened in fury when he saw Lin Luoxi blocking his way again. He wanted to call Lin Luoxi to run with him, but he couldn't open his mouth.
"Ninth Prince, if I fail to descend the mountain, I hope you will consider that I saved your life and help protect my family."
Lin Luoxi knew she wouldn't die, but in order to make Xiao Jingchen remember her life-saving grace, she pretended to be making her final arrangements, looking at Xiao Jingchen with a look of fearlessness as if she were going to die.
"Okay, I promise you." After all, wealth and glory are too dazzling to resist, and Xiao Jingchen is unwilling to give up his current power and cannot do what Lin Luoxi did without hesitation.
However, considering Lin Luoxi's two acts of risking her life to save him, he can allow the Lin family to receive imperial favor and protection for two generations.
When Ji Feng saw this, he was so frightened that he even used his light-footed skills, along with Lei Ming, Shan Dian, and Feng Bao, to carry Xiao Jing Chen away at a faster pace.
Lin Luoxi was left alone to face the enormous spirit serpent. The disparity in strength was too great. Looking at the spirit serpent in front of her, Lin Luoxi's legs trembled, and she felt a pang of regret.
There was already so much gold in the space, yet they insisted on digging up that little bit of ginseng. Now look what happened; no matter where they hide, they'll probably be hunted down for provoking this kind of spirit snake.
Although she has a spatial dimension, if this spirit snake isn't dealt with, she can't just hide in that dimension forever.
Memories of her time with the Lin family flashed through her mind, and tears welled up in her eyes.
"Hiss, hiss..." The spirit snake saw the tiny human in front of it and realized that this human was the one who had dug up the ginseng it had guarded for hundreds of years. It twisted its body and moved closer to Lin Luoxi.
Lin Luoxi thought the snake was going to attack her, so she immediately put the dagger in front of her as a precaution.
Seeing Lin Luoxi's futile resistance, the serpent's pupils flashed with contempt as it continued to approach Lin Luoxi.
"Don't come any closer, or I'll kill you." Not wanting to lose face, Lin Luoxi brandished her dagger and threatened as the snake slowly approached him.
But her voice was clearly trembling, which showed that she was also afraid.
When the snake saw Lin Luoxi using a dagger to defend herself, it flicked its tail and knocked the dagger out of Lin Luoxi's hand without harming her in the slightest.
Looking into Lin Luoxi's vertical pupils, as she drew closer little by little, the spirit snake's eyes were filled with doubt.
The serpent couldn't understand why this tiny human smelled so good, even better than the ginseng it had guarded for hundreds of years.
"Huh. This spirit snake doesn't seem to want to hurt me." Lin Luoxi looked at her empty hands, and lying not far away was the dagger that had been flung from her hand by the spirit snake's tail.
"Boom, boom, boom..." The seven bears playing in the deep mountains seemed to sense that Lin Luoxi was in danger. Following Lin Luoxi's scent, they all ran towards her.
The bears were excited when they saw Lin Luoxi, thinking she had come to the mountains to find them, and they all ran excitedly toward her.
As the bears approached, the snake's originally harmless pupils instantly became alert.
With its pupils bulging and its tongue flickering incessantly, it seemed to be warning the bear that if it came any closer to its territory, it would attack.
"Don't come any closer." Seemingly understanding the snake's warning, Lin Luoxi stopped the bear from running towards her.
But when the bear saw Lin Luoxi, it was as if it had seen delicious spiritual dew. Now that the spirit snake had warned them, they thought the spirit snake wanted to forcibly take Lin Luoxi away. They lost all reason and continued to run towards Lin Luoxi.
They finally found humans who treated them so well, they can't let this stinky snake steal them away, Lin Luoxi belongs to them.
Lin Luoxi sighed in exasperation when she saw that the bears were ignoring her orders.
A great battle was about to break out. Lin Luoxi's silver eyes flashed, and she realized that the reason these bears were sticking to her so much was because she had spiritual dew on her body.
Could we also use the spirit dew to lure this spirit snake, making it lower its guard and join her in her evil ways?
Pshaw, that's called standing on the united front.
Thinking of this, Lin Luoxi first flashed into the space, filled a bucket with spirit dew in one hand, and then took out several wooden basins before leaving the space.
First, he poured a basin of spiritual dew in front of the spirit snake, saying, "I was wrong to dig up your ginseng before, but I'll exchange this for it. This stuff is much more effective than your ginseng, so you won't lose out."
Lin Luoxi knew that the spirit snake could understand her words, and pointed to the basin of dew that had been poured out.
"Hiss, hiss..." It's not this smell, it's just that this smell is too good.
The spirit snake smelled the vibrant scent of the life-giving water and its massive tail trembled with excitement. Unable to wait any longer, it extended its forked tongue and began to frantically lick the basin of spiritual dew that Lin Luoxi had poured out.
The bears that rushed over looked at Lin Luoxi with resentment when they saw her pouring such good stuff for the snake to drink, feeling that Lin Luoxi no longer loved them.
