Chapter 257 There really is a pink little snake! (6k)

It was naturally difficult for Jiang He to know that a good and filial disciple, who usually respected him in every way, secretly said that he was not good enough and even worried about his health.

He didn't care that his body was still wet. He hurriedly put on his outer robe and pushed open the door of the hall.

Suddenly, the cool night breeze blew towards him, taking away the heat from his body, while the heat from the hall also rushed outwards madly, pushing on his back.

Jiang He actually felt an inexplicable sense of relief.

Keep breathing in the fresh air, and your whole body will feel unobstructed.

He looked behind him with lingering fear. Inside the open palace door, there was endless surging white mist, obscuring the fair girl and the warm spring water inside.

The palace door closed automatically without any wind, blocking Jiang He's sight.

“Come on, come on!”

Ye Qiao, who was waiting outside near a rockery, was clenching his fists and cheering excitedly.

Jiang He followed her gaze.

There is a snake cave on the rockery.

At this time, there was a pink little snake in the snake's nest, which was entangled in a one-eyed giant python, showing off its power and spitting out its tongue, looking very proud.

"Hmm? What kind of monster is this little pink snake?"

Jiang He was shocked, he knew the one-eyed python.

Commonly known as the charm snake, it looks huge but is actually weak inside.

Of course, it's just as the name suggests.

Its shape is indeed very misleading, making people think it is a ferocious monster.

But in fact, it does not survive by its flesh, but by its innate charm of the mind. At the same time, there are only female charm snakes, which can be regarded as succubi among the snake clan.

When facing snakes smaller than itself, its charm is even more powerful.

But this tiny little pink snake actually subdued it!

You know, the difference between the two snakes is even greater than that between Jiang He and Jin Er!

"Ah! My Lord, I do not know."

Ye Qiao was having so much fun playing around that he almost forgot about what was happening in the palace.

What cannot be avoided, cannot be avoided after all.

Now he was caught by his immediate boss's father, and he couldn't help but look panicked.

"Don't be afraid. It's boring to wait outside. I understand."

Jiang He continued as if nothing had happened.

"Thank you for leading the way this time. It's really enjoyable to take a bath alone in such a big palace."

"Huh? Alone?"

Ye Qiao couldn't help but look behind Jiang He, but unfortunately the vast white fog blocked her view.

She clearly heard the voice of the Son of God.

"Right? Could there be someone else?"

Jiang He didn't want to let outsiders know that he had taken a bath with his apprentice for so long.

That's like yellow mud falling into your crotch, and you can't wash it off.

He approached the snake's nest and looked at the dying snake, feeling sad.

I feel the same way for some reason.

That’s right, seeing how weak the charm snake was, he felt like he was as weak as the charm snake.

Jiang He pinched the pink little snake's tail and threw it back into the snake's nest.

Free the charm snake from the body of the little snake.

The charming snake's single red eye humanized and showed a hint of gratitude, and it nodded its head desperately at him.

Then the snake swayed its body and quickly dived into the grass, as if there was a flood or a beast behind it.

"嘤嘤."

The pink little snake anxiously crawled out of the snake's nest, raised its head high, and looked at the back of the charming snake with tears in its eyes as it left.

As if it realized that it would never come back, it turned around suddenly and glared at Jiang He fiercely.

"Ahem, a forced melon is not sweet. Besides, charm snakes are only female, and you are also a female."

Jiang He didn't know why he had to explain to a demon snake.

The pink little snake just stared and shed tears of grievance.

It swam back to the snake's nest pitifully, and did not forget to use its tail to hook the white and hard rock and heavily close the door of the snake's nest.

"grown ups."

Ye Qiao wanted to stop Jiang He, but considering the difference in their status, she had to shut up in frustration.

A forced melon is not sweet, but it can quench your thirst.

And what are the adults thinking?

Could it be that the little snake just wanted to play with the other snakes?
Ye Qiao couldn't bear to see the little snake looking so pitiful and felt a little distressed.

Jiang He pinched his chin and took it very seriously:
"Don't underestimate this little snake. The ordinary monsters in the Cangwu Realm are nothing special, but this kind of monster is quite intelligent, so you have to pay more attention to it."

"Ok?"

Ye Qiao didn't understand what he meant. All monsters and beasts have some intelligence to a certain extent. What's so strange about that?
"Spirit is forbidden in Cangwu Realm. Most of the intelligent monsters use spiritual energy to cultivate and open their minds. And the meaning behind being able to use spiritual energy to cultivate is self-evident, right? It means that they are the descendants of the mountain-guarding spiritual beasts of the past in Cangwu Realm."

Jiang He's expression gradually became confused.

"The guardian spirit beasts of an ancient sect are not simple monsters. Their bloodlines can almost all be cultivated to the Golden Core stage in the Cangwu Realm. How could this monster snake only have the cultivation level of the first or second level of Qi training?"

His mind kept recalling some details of the Cangwu Realm in the original text.

But I couldn't imagine a little pink snake either.

After all, there are so many strange and bizarre monsters in the world, it is impossible to write about every one of them in the book.

Jiang He approached the rockery, moved the white rock away, and got closer to the snake cave. It was empty inside and the little pink snake disappeared without a trace!
"Was there a snake cave here before?"

Jiang He rubbed his fingers, and he could still feel the soft and elastic touch of the little snake's body.

"Disciple, you may not know that we from Shanfa Hall have only arrived here in recent days. Previously, this place was repaired by Yunxi Sect. However, Yunxi Sect only comes to Cangwu Realm once a year, so it is difficult for them to detect any monsters here."

Ye Qiao also had a confused look in his eyes. He leaned forward and looked carefully, but found nothing.

This little snake had already startled her several times today, and now it just disappeared from her sight, which was bizarre and strange.

Jiang He thought about it and it made sense. If a mortal lived in their home only once a year, there would be a lot of insects and rats. What about Cangwu City, which was densely populated with monsters?

On weekdays, this palace is the home of monsters.

"However, Xingyuquan is an important place. The disciples of Shanfa Hall have cleaned it up once. Logically, there shouldn't be any monsters here."

Ye Qiao pondered for a while.

She had actually come to Xingyuquan before to help with cleaning, but she was responsible for the east and west halls.

This is also the reason why the Holy Son asked her to take Jiang He to the East Palace, because she was familiar with both the East and West Palaces.

"Anything unusual must have a reason. Of course, it's also possible that it just strayed into this place while hunting."

Jiang He's heart moved, and just when he fell unconscious, the Xuanhuang Pearl in his body started to run wildly.

Wouldn’t he be attracted by the Xuanhuang Pearl?

After reading it, Jiang He took Ye Qiao and searched back and forth in front of the rockery, even the bottom of the stone was not spared.

But the strange thing is that even the previous charming snake was not found.

"Could it be possible that he swam into the Xingyu Spring?"

Ye Qiao muttered to herself.

Here, there is no place for these two snakes to hide unless they swim into the Xingyu Spring.

"??"

Jiang He felt numb all over. Could there be a snake's nest under the Xingyu Spring?

He had just soaked in the spring water for half a day.

Jiang He asked, "Could it be that this Xingyuquan is secretly connected to other places?"

"Well, the depths below the Xingyu Spring are unfathomable, but the deeper you go, the stronger the pressure becomes. At least, a cultivator with a perfect foundation cannot withstand this pressure. As for Jindan Zhenren, they dare not rashly enter an unknown and mysterious place when their spirits are forbidden."

Ye Qiao smiled bitterly and continued,
"So, even if they knew there might be a divine object underneath, no one dared to go deeper. I heard that Xiao An would dive into Xingyu Pond to find out what's going on in a few days."

After the search was fruitless, Jiang He did not persist too much.

He glanced at the West Hall. He and Ye Qiao had been here the whole time, so Yuan Xia was probably too embarrassed to come out.

Seeing this, Jiang He coughed lightly:
"Forget it then. Take me back to the palace. By the way, where are the other two people who came with me now?"

"The Yunxi Sect's true disciple Chu Ke, and the blonde girl?"

Ye Qiao led Jiang He back the same way, recalling the past.

"The Holy Son said that Chu Ke was from the Yunxi Sect, so he did not stay in our Shanfa Palace's territory, and had someone bring the two of them to the Yunxi Sect's territory. But it's just on the edge, adjacent to the Lingquan Palace."

……

After returning to the temporary palace, Jiang He pounded his weak legs.

Coincidentally, every time I see Yuan Xia, I always feel unusually tired.

At the same time, dry mouth and tongue feel like a significant loss of water in the body.

However, Jiang He could also understand that the water of Xingyuquan was warm and the temperature in the palace was scorching. If he kept sleeping in there, the water in his body would evaporate.

Apart from being thirsty, what was even more serious was that I was completely exhausted and had no strength at all.

Jiang He sighed silently in his heart. If he had known this would happen, he would not have taken a hot spring bath, which would have made him lazy.

Thinking of the pink snake just now, Jiang He felt doubtful:

"Could it be that it is really related to the Xuanhuang Pearl? It looks like a snake, could it be some kind of dragon or flood dragon?"

His expression was slightly solemn, and he began to refine the Xuanhuang Pearl in his body.

The beads are now like walnut kernels, and the golden shell has become wrinkled and dull, which is a sign of excessive consumption.

All the essence and blood inside, except for some of Chu Zhaoming's essence and blood, were consumed.

As for his true spirit, he had used it up long ago.

This is also a big regret for Jiang He.

When there are sufficient true spirits, the power of the Soul-Shocking Bell will increase exponentially.

When Jiang He and Li Tiancheng were fighting, Jiang He first induced Li Tiancheng to go crazy, then strangled him by the neck, frightened Li Tiancheng, and made him confused.

Only then was he able to use the Soul-Shocking Bell to severely injure him.

But if he had a real spirit to command, it wouldn't be so difficult.

Jiang He calmed his mind and used spiritualism to obtain a small amount of spiritual power from the Cangwu Realm and transferred it into the Xuanhuang Pearl.

Soon, the Xuanhuang Pearl began to emit a faint fluorescent glow.

He concentrated on sensing his surroundings, but did not sense any movement.

Jiang He began to hesitate. Could it be that the pink snake was really just hunting and came to the outside of the West Hall by coincidence?

Well, the bead has been severely consumed, so it’s time to give it a proper ritual.

He devoted himself to refining the Xuanhuang Pearl. He didn't know how long it had been, but suddenly, Jiang He's ears moved.

"hiss"

There is the sound of a snake spitting out its tongue beside me!
It actually has something to do with the Xuanhuang Pearl!
Jiang He suddenly opened his eyes and looked up.

All I saw was a pink tail fleetingly disappearing from under the bed.

It was like a silver lining after a dark cloud. When he gave up, the little snake unexpectedly reappeared!
Jiang He suppressed his inner joy and was about to search under the bed, but then he remembered that this little snake had disappeared silently in the snake cave before, so it might have some kind of innate magical power.

If he went to look for it directly, he might not be able to find it, and he might even alert the enemy. Jiang He suppressed his curiosity and continued to refine the Xuanhuang Pearl with his eyes closed, while mobilizing his blood and energy to further nourish the pearl.

Without other people’s essence and blood, I can only use my own essence and blood to nourish it.

With the nourishment of essence and blood, although Jiang He's body became further weakened, the dried-up sphere of the Xuanhuang Pearl gradually regained its warmth.

"hiss?"

The familiar sound of spitting out blood was heard again, but Jiang He pretended not to know and continued to refine the Xuanhuang Pearl.

It seemed that the aura of the Xuanhuang Pearl deeply seduced the little snake. Jiang He suddenly felt a chill on his legs.

A slippery body was moving on his legs
This little snake was so bold that it swam upwards along his trouser leg!

And, the key point is that he left the East Hall in such a hurry that he had no clothes on!

But in order to catch this mysterious little snake, Jiang He resisted the urge to shake it off and continued to practice with his eyes closed.

The little snake swam and hesitated for a moment at the root of his thigh.

It used its tail to block its body in disgust and continued to swim upwards around its legs, all the way to his dantian.

And here, there is only a layer of skin separating it from the Xuanhuang Pearl.

The little snake suddenly started drilling into his belly button like crazy, as if it wanted to drill into the dantian below through the belly button.

The soft head kept poking his belly.

ridiculous.

Jiang He sneered. This snake has intelligence, but only a little.

How is it possible to get into the Dantian from the navel?
The little snake continued to anxiously drill its head into his belly button, and suddenly stuck out its tongue and licked his belly button continuously.

Not to mention, the little snake's tongue is cool and smooth, which is quite comfortable.

Jiang He watched calmly and coldly.

Just as he was about to take down the little snake, he felt a sudden pain in his stomach, and the little snake disappeared without a trace!
The Qi sea in Dantian was surging wildly, and in the Qi sea where spiritual power was condensed, a pink figure was looming.

"Fuck!"

Jiang He was horrified that he actually let the little snake get in!

In an instant, he made a decisive move and grabbed its tail.

The little snake swung its tail with all its might. Although it looked pink and thin, it was surprisingly powerful.

Jiang He was unable to do anything to it, and his hand was slapped away by the snake's tail.

From then on, the little snake was no longer bound.

He rushed all the way and dived into the sea of ​​qi.

It swam excitedly to the Xuanhuang Pearl in the center of the Qi Sea and cautiously probed it with its tail.

Seeing that the Xuanhuang Pearl didn't react, it was so happy that its tail spun wildly. With a whoosh, it flew to the Xuanhuang Pearl and wrapped it tightly.

"what!"

Faintly, Jiang He felt the terrified cry of Zhao Qiujun who was still in the Xuanhuang Pearl.

However, he carefully sensed that the Xuanhuang Pearl had no hostility towards the little snake, and the little snake was simply clinging to the Xuanhuang Pearl to rest. Its eyes were comfortably narrowed, and its head drooped, drowsy.

It was probably because Zhao Qiujun was afraid of snakes that she screamed.

To be fair, Jiang He was also panicked at this time.

He had never seen or heard of such a bizarre thing, that there could be a creature that could drill into another person's dantian.

Fortunately, this little snake was ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth and dared to entangle itself on the Xuanhuang Pearl.

"Now that you are on the Xuanhuang Pearl, it won't be easy to leave."

Jiang He sneered and decisively summoned the Xuanhuang Pearl.

The next moment, the Xuanhuang Pearl with the pink snake wrapped around it began to spin in his palm.

The pink snake was startled. It straightened its body, raised its head high, coiled around the Xuanhuang Pearl and spit out information.

Jiang He stretched out his hand and grabbed the pink snake.

The pink snake wanted to use the same trick again and slap his hand open with its tail.

But the Xuanhuang Pearl suddenly emitted a faint light, which tightly imprisoned the entire snake body on the pearl.

The little snake had no choice but to surrender, shaking its head in helplessness and anger, revealing its two sharp milk teeth, and threatening him weakly.

"Hehe, little guy, your body is still quite soft, how come you have so much strength?"

Jiang He touched the snake's body. It was not slippery like ordinary snakes, but smooth and soft.

After a quick exploration, Jiang He discovered that the little pink snake seemed to be a baby snake.

Before they had time to develop, some parts of the snake's body actually had fine scales, but they had not yet grown all over the body.

There were long and slender protrusions on both sides of the snake's body. Jiang He pressed them lightly with his fingers and found that the protrusions felt slightly hard, which should indicate bones inside.

Of course, this bulge is not on the sides of the snake's head, so Jiang He doesn't think it is a dragon horn.

He thought about it and felt the scales again.

These scales are sparse and have not yet opened, and are only dense in one place.

Jiang He pressed the scales there carefully, and his expression suddenly became strange.

This seems to be the little pink snake's scales that cover its private parts.

"Bah"

The little snake's body stiffened, its eyes widened, its vertical pupils almost turned round, tears welled up in its eyes, and it sobbed.

Her head kept hitting his hand, and her two still developing milk teeth bit Jiang He's hand hard, but they couldn't break the skin. Instead, the hit made her head shrink and she cried even louder.

Tears flowed out of the snake's pupils, soaking its body.

"? What a strange snake, why is it crying?"

Jiang He was stunned. When he let the charming snake go before, this pink little snake also cried.

Jiang He cried so hard that he couldn't bear to bully the underage snake.

etc.
A minor is so smart?
Moreover, it will even cover its private parts spontaneously and has a sense of shame, unlike ordinary monsters.

Then its parents, could they be some top-level golden elixir demon in the Cangwu Realm?

"Hey, little guy, can you talk?"

Jiang He pinched the little snake's soft and elastic body and asked seriously.

The little snake cried to itself, and its tearful pupils glared at him fiercely from time to time.

"It seems that it can't speak anymore. Then can you understand what I say? If it can, this snake can understand human language at such a young age, which will definitely be a big problem. Well, if it can't understand, forget it. Little guy, if you don't understand, just shake your head. Got it?"

Upon hearing this, the little snake didn't even bother to cry. It shook its head repeatedly to indicate that it didn't understand.

Jiang He couldn't stop laughing. After all, he was just an underage snake. Maybe he became intelligent early, but his mind was still ignorant.

He ignored the little snake's ferocious expression, pried open its mouth and poked at its two tiny milk teeth.

Well, there's no danger at all.

The little milk teeth bit his hand desperately, but Jiang He remained unharmed. Instead, the little snake gasped in pain.

Jiang He felt relieved, thinking that the little snake was only physically strong and posed no other threat.

However, he didn't know how to deal with the little snake.

The little snake obviously has extraordinary bloodline and is probably the descendant of the Cangwu Sect’s guardian beast.

If I put it down from the Xuanhuang Pearl, it might disappear without a trace immediately, and would never dare to approach me again, and I would never have the chance to tame it again.

Thinking of this, Jiang He hesitated for a while, but finally let it continue to entangle itself around the Xuanhuang Pearl, wanting to see if there was any chance of taming the young snake.

Just the ability to drill someone else's dantian with one hand is already very amazing, which makes Jiang He envious.

And he also has the Xuanhuang Pearl to confine it, so he is not afraid that it will mess around in his dantian.

So, Jiang He smiled as if he was luring a little girl:
"Little guy, the beads will be your home from now on."

The little snake expressed disdain, saying that the bead originally belonged to it!

He placed his head on the bead disapprovingly, greedily absorbing its scent.

"Hey, this is my bead. I can't touch it anymore if I think about it."

Jiang He loosened his control over the bead a little, leaving only the upper body of the little snake entangled with the bead.

He pulled the lower half of the snake's body and played with it in the palm of his hand.

Cool and smooth, the key is not sticky!

In fact, Jiang He hates snakes. They are disgusting just by looking at them, but this little snake is different.

It's pink and tender, with a pair of big eyes and two little baby teeth that make it look non-threatening and cute.

"Bah"

The little snake was extremely ashamed and angry, but there was nothing it could do.

He nodded in shame.

Jiang Hecai decided to stop while he was ahead and let go of its tail.

The little snake was immediately frightened and wrapped its tail around the Xuanhuang Pearl, burying its head and not daring to look at him, as if Jiang He was some kind of monster.

"From now on, I will be your master. You can rest on the Xuanhuang Pearl every day. Isn't it great to be your master?"

Jiang He finally reveals his sinister intentions and deceives the inexperienced little snake.

However, the little snake seemed to understand what its "master" meant and knew that Jiang He was deceiving it.

The vertical pupils reveal disgust and vigilance in a humanized way.

This was Jiang He's mistake. This little snake seemed to know more than he thought.

Jiang He settled for the next best thing:

"Okay, if you don't want to, then I'll be your brother from now on, how about that?"

Anyway, this kind of spiritual beast will transform into a human form later.

Kang Ha is the brother who doesn't mind being a snake.

But this little pink snake cared unusually, its vertical pupils were full of disgust, and it raised its head slightly.

Jiang He actually understood what the little snake meant!

hateful
I don't mind that you are a snake, but you mind that I am old.

When I have tamed you, little guy, I will let you call me master every day.

Jiang He slowed down and said indifferently:
"Well, I am indeed a little old, but from now on I am your uncle, is that okay?"

The little snake nodded reluctantly.

Afterwards, she didn't want to pay any attention to him anymore, so she curled up on the Xuanhuang Pearl, closed her eyes and dozed off.

As a young snake, it needs rest the most on weekdays and has been drowsy for a long time.

"Well"

It can be considered as a pet that is suspected to be some kind of powerful spiritual beast.

Jiang He's mood just couldn't improve.

But what race is this?
It has fine scales, rudimentary bones on the sides, and two small milk teeth.

His figure is elusive and he can even penetrate into other people's dantian.

Maybe Yuan Xia might know?

Being in the Hall of Good Dharma, she has access to a lot of information that is difficult for outsiders to know.

Jiang He took the Xuanhuang Pearl back into his dantian. With the nourishment of spiritual energy, the little snake slept more soundly, curled up on the Xuanhuang Pearl without any defense.
