67: Chapter 67 Green Snake Meets an Acquaintance

So, about Lin Donglan.

After she left that certain green snake who didn't want to reveal its name, she returned to the Sect.

However, because she had been robbed by the green snake, it was judged as a dereliction of duty.

Originally, this was just a normal case of force majeure.

But that Golden Core Elder who wanted to take her as a concubine took the opportunity to suppress her, saddling her with the charges of betraying the Human Race and colluding with Yao Beasts.

The goal was to seize the opportunity to take her as a cauldron.

Lin Donglan was disheartened, fled the Sect, and was subsequently hunted down by the Sect.

It was the definition of miserable.

But it only gets worse; there is no 'most miserable,' only 'more miserable.'

Forced to flee into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, she stumbled blindly toward the place where Xu Qing was resting.

And Xu Qing...

After his Divine Sense detected Lin Donglan's disheveled figure, he was stunned for a moment.

Then he excitedly rushed up.

'Hehehe! It didn't take any effort at all to find her!'

'My luck has turned, it really has! From now on, I have to give Daya a good pet whenever I go out!'

He was extremely unhappy about taking the blame for this person, remembering it silently and unable to sleep for several days.

'Hmm?'

'There are pursuers!'

'It seems this unlucky fellow is being hunted down too.'

Thinking of this, Xu Qing's already happy mood became even happier.

Seeing others suffer is even more satisfying than having good luck yourself.

'Perhaps...'

Xu Qing's eyes lit up.

Aside from her looks, Lin Donglan didn't have much to offer. Even if he caught her and made her work for three lifetimes, it wouldn't cover his emotional distress compensation.

So, he had to find another way to exploit her.

Xu Qing firmly believed that there was no profit in this world he couldn't squeeze out.

No matter who it was, everyone had their own place in his extractor.

There were very few Foundation Establishment Yao Beasts in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, and they were widely scattered and cunning, making them very time-consuming to kill.

If someone was hunting Lin Donglan...

Looking at it from another angle, weren't they just a continuous stream of Human Race Cultivators!

As long as he used Lin Donglan as bait, he could continuously fish for Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

'Brilliant.'

'This way, it can barely count as one lifetime of labor, and if she works another two lifetimes for me, we'll be square.'

Xu Qing quietly approached.

Lin Donglan had no idea of her fate at this moment.

She just felt that as a stunningly beautiful Genius girl, she had a truly miserable life.

Should one call it jealousy of the heavens toward a beautiful face?

The blue Escape Light that Lin Donglan had transformed into flew toward the depths of the Monster Beast forest.

Several Escape Lights followed closely behind.

Occasionally, a few Spells would attack Lin Donglan.

'Junior Sister, you'd better obediently return to the Sect with us. If you keep flying into the depths of the Monster Beast Mountain Range, I'm afraid you won't even have a corpse left.'

'...'

Lin Donglan didn't speak.

How could she not know what the future of becoming a cauldron would be like?

It would be better to be eaten by a Yao Beast.

'Hmph, you refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit.'

'You have committed the crime of betraying the Human Race and colluding with Yao Beasts; you deserve death!'

'Out of fellowship, I didn't want to strike, but since you are ungrateful, Junior Sister...'

The tone of the sturdy female Cultivator who had just advised Lin Donglan changed.

'Take my Great Cold Ice...'

'Pfft!'

[Ding, killed Foundation Establishment Cultivator at the Early Stage]

[Dao Cultivation + 5 years, evolution points + 10]

[Obtained, Extraterrestrial Meteor Essence x 1]

The remaining two pursuers, who were flying behind leisurely, stared blankly at the blood mist exploding in front of them.

And that huge green snake protecting Lin Donglan behind it.

'You really did collude with Yao Beasts!'

The two fellow Foundation Establishment Cultivators gasped.

Why did they dare to chase Lin Donglan into the Monster Beast Mountain Range? Wasn't it because they were certain Lin Donglan hadn't colluded with Yao Beasts?

That was all a trumped-up charge by the Elder, pure nonsense.

As it turned out, it was true?

'Run! This snake Yao Beast has deep Dao Cultivation; we are no match for it!'

The two didn't hesitate and turned to flee.

'Silly Snake!'

Xu Qing let out a snake hiss.

A Three-Colored Venomous Snake blocked their retreat, exhaling thick Poison Gas and showing a cute, fierce expression.

Three-Colored Venomous Snake.

As a highly poisonous Spirit Snake with a high reputation among humans, the two Cultivators were scared into a shiver and quickly retreated, not daring to touch even a bit of the poison.

They were just poor Early Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

With this retreat, they were completely trapped between the two snakes.

'My father is a Golden Core Great Cultivator, you mere snake Yao Beast, how dare you kill me!'

One of the Cultivators hurriedly shouted at the top of his lungs.

'I am just a snake.'

Xu Qing flicked his tail, and the green flood dragon ring pressed down, suppressing both of them until they couldn't move.

'Wind Blade!'

Wind Blades shot out immediately after, neatly cutting both of them in half.

[Ding, killed Foundation Establishment Cultivator at the Early Stage x 2]

[Dao Cultivation + 10, evolution points + 20]

[Obtained items: Evil-Breaking Bamboo x 1, Spirit Marrow x 1]

Xu Qing slowly turned his head to look at Lin Donglan, whose face was cold as frost and who remained motionless.

However, ever since he saw the true nature of this iceberg last time.

Xu Qing already knew that this person was definitely frantically complaining internally.

This broken iceberg, hard to gauge.

'Hehehe, Miss, you wouldn't want the news of you colluding with Yao Beasts to get out, would you?'

'...'

Lin Donglan gritted her teeth slightly.

After their previous time together, Lin Donglan had learned simple snake language.

'Indeed.'

She opened her small mouth slightly.

'Then let's talk now.'

'About your debt problem.'

'I hope you are prepared to pay me back with your body for the rest of your life.'

'Hehehe.'

Xu Qing then started asking Lin Donglan about what happened.

Then he sighed with emotion.

There could actually be such a miserable person in the world.

If she went to participate in a variety show, she would at least be the grand final champion.

'Don't worry, meeting me is your good fortune.'

'From today on, it's the beginning of your good luck.'

Xu Qing patted Lin Donglan's head with his tail.

'You are now a new member of our Noble Snake Alliance.'

'And I, as the leader of the Noble Snake Alliance, naturally have to seek justice for you!'

'The tiny Yuning Sect actually dares to target my dignified Noble Snake Alliance like this.'

Xu Qing showed an angry expression.

'Come, let's set an ambush and wipe out all the scum coming to hunt you down.'

'Yes.'

Xu Qing justifiably started fishing using Lin Donglan as bait.

He could already see piles of Dao Cultivation and evolution points waving at him.

[Ding, proficiency reached the requirement]

[Vicious Beast lv1 upgraded to Vicious Beast lv2]

Xu Qing felt his body strengthen slightly, and his mental strength also improved.

'System, who are you implying?'

He just pretended this skill didn't exist.

The green snake is so innocent, how could it harm people?

Vicious Beast or whatever, it's all slander.

'Must find a way to learn the Auspicious Beast skill, otherwise, I might get wiped out by a Great Cultivator as a pest one day.'

Xu Qing silently decided.

He remembered that on the Crimson-Tailed Burning Flame Crane's panel, there were Vicious Beast lv5 and Auspicious Beast lv1 skills.

How much karma must that have created?

Besides, the Auspicious Beast skill might become a good cover for him.

To make humans trust him more and believe he is an Auspicious Beast.

Then...

'Hehehe.'
