At this moment, You Wensi had already come over and taken Yun Chuan from Yan Shui's hands, supporting him herself. Yun Chuan leaned on his mother-in-law's shoulder, feeling weak. Hearing this, he mustered his spirits, frowned and thought for a moment, and finally shook his head gently, saying, "No, Master, before that, I always thought he was recuperating in the deepest part of the cave."
"If I had known that there was such a strange and wicked monk constantly entering and leaving the Yellow Python Cave, I would never have led everyone to exterminate the demon cultivator without any precautions."
What he said was the truth, and no one could find any clues.
Monk Huijing sighed deeply. Although they had won a great victory, the ensuing problems made him worry: "I hope the conspiracy behind this can be eliminated as soon as possible, so that the Central Plains will not be plunged into another land of suffering and death."
Upon hearing this, everyone felt a heaviness in their hearts. At this moment, Bai Suwan suddenly said, "We can talk about the future later. At least today, we worked together to eliminate a wicked demon, thus removing a scourge from the lives of all living beings in the Central Plains."
"At least this matter can be considered something to celebrate, can't it?"
Her words revived the somber atmosphere.
At this moment, Yun Chu'an suddenly looked up and said, "Thank you, Fairy Yan Shui, for your help. If it weren't for your sword, we would all be dead in the mouth of this snake demon today."
The latter was taken aback upon hearing this, turning his head in confusion: "The credit for today clearly belongs to you, I..."
Chapter 508 The Holy Maiden of Joy's Texts
Then, Yan Shuiyi saw Yun Chuan bow his head and cup his hands, as if pleading with her to accept the credit: "Fairy, I am deeply grateful!"
Yan Shui stared at her in shock. She couldn't understand why Yun Chu'an would do this. His glorious feat of killing a Nascent Soul cultivator with a Golden Core technique would have made him famous throughout the world, so why...?
She didn't understand, but then she saw Sheng Linglong and Ge Xiang seem to have realized what was going on. They cupped their hands in gratitude and said, "We are very grateful."
Yan Shui felt unworthy of such praise. Just as she was about to say something, Bai Suwan, seeing her confused expression, quickly stepped forward, gently tugged at her sleeve, and whispered, "If the enemy states find out that Jin has produced such a prodigy, they will surely do everything in their power to eliminate him."
"Fairy, among all of us here, only you can accept this honor so naturally, without causing them any trouble."
Her explanation immediately left Yan Shui with mixed feelings, yet she could understand the reasons behind it.
Helpless, she could only nod slightly, her expression full of reluctance: "Alright, then we'll tell everyone that I killed Huang Mang Diao San."
After saying this, her expression became extremely awkward. Looking at Yun Chu'an in front of her, she felt it was absurd.
Good heavens, how can such an absurd thing happen in the world?
That's what she thought, but Bai Suwan, standing beside her, had a completely different idea.
After explaining all this to Yan Shui, she turned back and looked at Yun Chu'an, secretly praising him in her heart.
If an ordinary cultivator were to accomplish such a world-shaking feat, they would have long been eager to announce it to the world and let everyone know their fame.
Few people realize the terrible risks hidden behind this, and even fewer can resist the temptation of fame, some even knowingly pursuing it despite the risks.
This man certainly possesses a remarkable ability to cultivate composure. It's a pity he's from the state of Jin; he's unlikely to be of any use to me…
Bai Suwan felt a pang of regret. But compared to her regret, Sheng Linglong beside her was filled with joy.
She gazed at the man beside her, her eyes filled with affection. She had been so caught up in the excitement of defeating the Yellow Python Ancestor that she hadn't realized the many risks lurking behind it all.
On the contrary, he was the calmest, keenly aware of the danger behind it all, and decisively rejected it all...
Fortunately, fortunately, he was a loyal minister of my Jin state. I dare not imagine how much trouble he would have brought to our country if he had stood on the opposite side.
Sheng Linglong thought happily, but Yun Chu'an didn't notice her mood for a moment. Only when Yan Shuiyi agreed did he finally feel relieved and settle down to recuperate.
The great battle is now over, and all that's missing is the final cleanup. Hui Jing, Bai Suwan, and the others still have strength left, especially the latter. Fueled by hatred for the yellow python, she mustered her strength and killed the other two Golden Core giant pythons before finally breathing a sigh of relief.
The remaining pythons scattered and fled, their whereabouts unknown. But at this point, without the support of a golden core, the yellow python demons were just common mountain monsters, not worth paying much attention to. The group was too lazy to chase and kill them one by one. They then set the snake den on fire and left.
The remaining tasks should be left to the Foundation Establishment cultivators below. These scattered snake demons are good whetstones for them to hone their skills.
The group returned victorious to Wei Lake, but it wasn't a good place to hold a celebration banquet. After all, this was the home of the Wei River Dragon King, and while the old Dragon King had set out intact, he returned with only a golden core remaining, which made it difficult for anyone to be happy.
Finally, the monk Huijing had no choice but to return the golden elixir to the Wei River Dragon King's principal wife and the mother of his son. After she had cried her heart out, everyone comforted her and brought out many rare treasures to help the old Dragon King rebuild his physical body in the future, which finally calmed her down.
After all this was done, everyone dispersed to attend to their respective tasks. Bai Suwan was to announce the matter to her family, declaring that the White Snake Clan's great revenge had been achieved. Prime Minister Ge was to arrange for officials to spread the word about the matter to enhance the prestige of the Jin Kingdom. Sheng Linglong, on the other hand, was to report the matter to her father, the King, so that he could recommend Yun Chu'an for credit.
Yun Chuan didn't linger. With You Wensi's help, he and Nie Ningshuang returned to Huai Mountain together.
Yan Shuiyi flew back to the new temporary base of Qingyun Sect on her sword. Her mind was quite unsettled along the way. She was still thinking about Yun Chuan. She felt that someone as amazing and talented as him should be announced to the world and enjoy the reputation, instead of giving everything to her. He had swallowed such a big loss for nothing.
This is not fair.
She pondered it and felt she had taken advantage of him. She felt she owed him something in terms of morality.
When she flew back to her courtyard, she saw Dongfang Yue already waiting there. Seeing her approach, she quickly skipped over and hugged her senior sister: "Senior sister, did you win?"
Yan Shui came to her senses and nodded slightly: "Yes, Ancestor Huang Mang... has already been slain by my sword."
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Yue immediately cheered: "I knew it! Senior Sister could definitely do this feat, slaying a Nascent Soul with a Golden Core!"
Yan Shuiyi forced a smile and said, "It was a coincidence," brushing it off. Dongfang Yue continued to hop around her, her tone full of curiosity, constantly asking her what had happened.
Finally, Yan Shuiyi spent a lot of effort to get rid of her chattering junior sister. However, even so, she still felt irritable and couldn't sit still, so she simply went out to take a walk in the mountains.
After a full day of fierce fighting, it is now evening, and the sun is setting in the west, adding a touch of orange-red to the mountaintops.
Yan Shui walked alone in the mountains, her mind filled with thoughts of Yun Chu'an, until a familiar voice suddenly rang in her ears: "Congratulations, fairy."
It was the voice of the Holy Maiden of the Joyous Union.
She looked up and saw that familiar figure standing in front of her, smiling sweetly: "Fairy, congratulations."
Yan Shuiyi, do you know that she must have heard the news spread by many people from all directions? According to the propaganda they fabricated, it must have been with the help of her colleagues in Jin that Yan Shuiyi killed the Yellow Python Ancestor.
In fact, she had experienced similar situations many times before. However, each time, the propaganda was true, and she had always relied on her own strength to kill evil cultivators whose cultivation level was higher than hers.
But this time...
She seemed somewhat uneasy, turning her face away, unwilling to meet her gaze: "Hmm."
The Holy Maiden of Union saw the complex emotions she was experiencing. Confused, she remained outwardly composed, stepped forward, and took her hand: "You've clearly won a resounding victory, so why are you still in such a bad mood?"
Yan Shui lowered her head and said, "Something happened in the middle..."
The Holy Maiden of Joy could not possibly guess that her battle record this time was actually fake. She could only speculate based on her own thoughts, and then gently comforted her, "In every great battle like this, someone will always fall. This is inevitable."
"Fairy, there is no need to be too sad about this. We will remember them and cherish their memory, because they sacrificed themselves for humanity and justice."
She said this, but unfortunately, this was not what Yan Shui Yi Xian was truly worried about. The latter forced a smile and said politely, "Thank you, I feel much better."
The Holy Maiden of Hehuan smiled charmingly, and then, as if joking with a close friend, or perhaps as if seeking praise, asked her, "How is the sachet I gave you?"
Upon hearing this question, Yan Shui's expression became slightly embarrassed.
She turned her face away, not daring to look into the eyes of the Holy Maiden of Joy, as if she were somewhat guilty. After hesitating for a moment, she admitted shyly, "Well... because the situation on the battlefield was urgent, I gave it to someone else in the heat of the moment."
Chapter 509 Lactation-Inducing Drugs
After saying that, Yan Shuiyi quickly added, "I'm sorry, that was your kind intention, but I'm using it to curry favor..."
She was really embarrassed, and her cheeks flushed slightly.
The Holy Maiden of Hehuan stared at her exquisite face, pondered for a moment, and nodded gently: "It's alright, fairy. As long as it can be of use to the cause of eliminating evil, my intentions will be fulfilled."
"only……"
She took a half step forward, getting close to her, and then asked softly, "But, may I know, who ultimately got that sachet?"
Seeing that she didn't seem to mind, Yan Shuiyi breathed a sigh of relief. However, this question inevitably brought Yun Chu'an's image back into her mind.
“That person…” she hesitated, “I’m afraid you don’t know him. His name is Yun Chu’an.”
Upon hearing this, the Holy Maiden of Joyful Union was slightly moved: "Oh?"
……
On Huai Mountain.
Exhausted, Yun Chuan returned to the mountaintop with You Wensi's help. Fortunately, his home was full of spiritual energy, and he regained some of his strength.
All the way back, Nie Ningshuang was worried about his condition and didn't even dare to breathe loudly. Now that they were back, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, and her eyes lit up with excitement: "Hey, Chu'an, when did you learn such powerful magic? You've even reached the Nascent Soul stage..."
Her large eyes sparkled, filled with intense curiosity. Yun Chu'an chuckled softly and said, "I've known it for a long time, but I just haven't had the chance to show it yet, heh..."
He let out a long breath, then forced himself to stay alert: "Fourth Sister and Fifth Sister should have already set off. Third Sister, do you want to go and check on them?"
While the battle to annihilate the Yellow Python involved high-level battlefields where Golden Core cultivators attacked Nascent Soul stage cultivators, battles below the Foundation Establishment stage also needed to be handled by others.
Taking advantage of her proximity to the source, Yun Chu'an and Zhu Yunqing had already discussed the matter. They would take some people and wait in the Field Mouse Clan's territory. After the operation was over, they would enter the Ten Thousand Snake Cave and capture its core members.
The key is not the snake demons' treasure, but the technology they possess, such as the true formula for the Blood Pool Powder, which must be obtained as soon as possible on this trip!
Upon hearing this, Nie Ningshuang nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, that's right. Ah, I'll handle these matters. You don't need to worry about them anymore. Get some rest and wait for my good news!"
She patted her chest and assured him that even though she had used up a lot of her spiritual energy, she was still full of energy and seemed to never get tired.
After saying this, the girl immediately turned around, used her teleportation ability to shrink the distance between them, and sped off to find Zhu Yunqing.
Thus, only Yun Chuan'an and You Wensi remained on the summit of Huai Mountain.
Seeing that no one was around, You Wensi immediately dropped the arrogant and noble demeanor she had displayed in front of strangers, and humbly lowered her head to Yun Chuan, respectfully calling out, "Master..."
Yun Chu'an let out a long breath, straightened up, and gently patted the woman's shoulder.
He could guess what this woman was thinking most right now. He then lowered his head and gazed into her eyes.
“I will give her a chance,” he said, “but I don’t have that much patience for her.”
"So before I make a move on her, you have to do something first."
You Wensi's heart trembled, and her cheeks quickly turned crimson.
"Mmm," she replied softly. "I will do whatever my master tells me to do."
Yun Chu'an put his arm around her shoulder and continued, "Alright, Mother-in-law, first of all, come and play a new little game with me."
You Wensi was puzzled, nervous yet expectant. Yun Chuan didn't rush. He took a few deep breaths to recover some of his spiritual power before pulling her along. They used the Shrinking Earth Technique to reach the back mountain of the family, outside the herb field.
It's called a medicinal herb field, but it's actually just a small, newly reclaimed area with not many medicinal herbs planted, a far cry from the medicinal herb field that the field mouse family used to have.
However, since the Huang Mang family's territory had been ravaged by war, it was no longer suitable for peaceful farming and had to be abandoned. To compensate for the emptiness in Liu Meng's body and mind, he reclaimed another piece of land here for her to study.
When Yun Chuan arrived, he saw a small wooden house standing quietly on the outskirts of the medicinal field, from which melodious music could be heard intermittently.
He waved for You Wensi to stop, then stepped forward, pushed open the door, and saw Liu Mengshen sitting alone in the room, her eyes closed, holding a harmonica in her hand, playing it with a furrowed brow.
She seemed rather uneasy until the door was pushed open and she saw the man she had been worried about appear in front of her. Her eyes suddenly lit up, as if spring had arrived.
"You're back!" She put down her harmonica, got off the chair, and lightly threw herself into his arms, opening her arms to hug him tightly.
Yun Chu'an held her in his arms, feeling her care and the warmth of his embrace, then gently patted her back: "Meng Shen, don't worry, I'm back safe and sound."
As he spoke, he released her embrace, sat down on the chair, picked her up, placed her on his lap, and whispered to her as he held her close.
Liu Meng blinked her big eyes and asked in a low voice about the whole battle. In order not to worry her, Yun Chu'an described the whole process in a light-hearted way, basically saying that Yan Shuiyi did the main work, and he himself was just assisting from the side.
Even so, Liu Mengshen was still incredibly nervous throughout the entire process. Concern clouded her judgment; after all, her beloved man was out there fighting and adventuring, and she couldn't help but worry about him.
After a while of tenderness, Yun Chu'an gently kissed her cheek and whispered, "Meng Shen, do you still have any of that medicine left?"
Liu Mengshen's expression shifted, slightly puzzled: "Which one?"
"It's that kind of medicine that makes you lactate," he whispered. "Any more?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Mengshen's cheeks flushed red instantly: "Do you want to drink milk again?"
The medicine he mentioned was an accident. Liu Mengshen originally intended to concoct a tonic, but every time this girl experimented with a new medicine, she would add her own interpretations, and then…
All sorts of unexpected things can happen.
Just like this medicine, it did have the effects of nourishment and replenishment, but it was somewhat skewed and excessive, to the point that on the day Hua Caiyan took this medicine, her breasts began to uncontrollably produce milk.
Even though the fox spirit protested vehemently, Yun Chuan hinted to Liu Mengshen to keep the formula for this unexpected medicine. Later, he had her take it herself and try it. She found that it could also secrete a sweet milk with a unique fragrance.
Therefore, Yun Chu'an treasured this medicine immensely and loved it dearly.
Hearing him say that, Liu Mengshen couldn't help but feel shy. She still remembered the way he had nursed on her chest last time, and the thought made her feel extremely ashamed: "There are some... Oh dear, why do you always think about things like that..."
Yun Chu'an held her and coaxed her gently, "Because you like it, oh dear, Meng Shen, don't be so stingy..."
Liu Meng reached into her storage bag and pulled out several packets of medicine wrapped in kraft paper, but still kept her head down, her face flushed red: "If you have the guts, go find Fifth Sister. Let's see if she scratches your face!"
Yun Chuan smiled and wanted to tease her a bit more, but Liu Mengshen had already seen through his intentions. She used the excuse that she still needed to study the prescription and pushed him out of her laboratory.
Pushed outside the cabin, Yun Chu'an had no choice but to leave. In the distance, You Wensi was still waiting. Seeing this, she stepped forward, looking hesitantly at the medicine packet in his hand: "Master, what is this?"
Chapter 510 The Cow's Thoughts (A long chapter of 7,000 words)
Yun Chu'an put away his relaxed expression and said, "This is the medicine you will take later."
