Several days later.
Aaron arrived outside Golden Daoist's cave dwelling, expressionless, carrying a bamboo basket.
Wei Feiniang had long been waiting there with a smile. Aaron handed over the basket. When she opened it, she saw five little snakes, their bodies like green jade, slithering about and looking in every direction. One of them even had a faint purple stripe along its back. She could not help but smile. "Junior Brother Xin, you truly are capable... These green jade snakes are already quite good, especially this purple-striped jade snake. It's nearly advanced into a king snake, hasn't it? Master will certainly be extremely pleased as well..."
"You flatter me, Senior Sister. I was merely lucky..."
Aaron answered with calm indifference.
His original self had been a renowned physician, and he had lived for who knew how many years, mastering far too many skills.
This secret snake-catching art had been simplified from the Demon-Luring Manual.
If he had not only just crossed over and needed to familiarize himself with the properties of different herbs—as well as keep a low profile—he could have summoned all the venomous creatures from the mountain and scared these senior and junior brothers to death!
"Junior Brother, you're even hiding things from me... You've truly broken your Senior Sister's heart."
Wei Feiniang put on a tearful pose, but her finger slyly scratched across Aaron's palm.
Aaron could not help touching his nose.
Damn it... If I weren't wary of Golden Daoist being here, I'd let you little wench learn the might of my thirty-six forms of Dongxuanzi, twelve moves of Yunming, and Huanglongzi's essential arts of paired cultivation...
He muttered inwardly, yet a resolute look appeared on his face. "Senior Sister, I still have matters to attend to in my cave dwelling. I'll take my leave first."
