A standoff
Elder Qing looked at Lu Man with a puzzled expression and asked, "This Medicine Emperor Han Feng has come all this way, is it just so that our Heavenly Snake Mansion can send two Dou Huang expert to help him stop a few Dou Wang?"
Lu Man shook his head and said, "It's definitely not that simple. I think even the Medicine Emperor finds what he's done troublesome. Let's wait and see. The Heavenly Snake Mansion has very little contact with the outside world. This time, let me and White Fang go together!"
Just then, White Fang's enormous body burst out of the valley, and a silvery laugh came from behind White Fang.
White Fang shot down from the sky and landed in front of Lu Man and Elder Qing.
A pale green figure leaped down from behind White Fang, grabbed Lu Man's arm, and shook it playfully, saying, "Sister Lu Man, are you going out again? Take me with you this time!"
Lu Man looked at her helplessly and said, "Qing Lin, your strength is still stuck at the Eight Star Dou Ling. You can't advance any further. When the Mansion Lord comes out of seclusion and sees your cultivation level, White Fang and I will definitely be scolded by Mansion Lord!"
White Fang chuckled from the side, "You've always been the one guiding Qing Lin Lin's cultivation, it has nothing to do with me. Even if the future Mansion Lord scolds her, it will only be you who gets the scolding, not me!"
Lu Man glared fiercely at White Fang and scolded, "If you hadn't been flying around with Qing Lin all day long, she would have broken through to the Dou Ling long ago!"
"Bullshit! I only brought Qing Lin along to play because I saw she was working hard in her cultivation. You're slandering me! Elder Qing, did you see that? She's slandering me!" White Fang jumped up and down in anger, his huge snake eyes filled with dissatisfaction and rage.
Elder Qing seemed to understand White Fang's shameless nature, and could only smile wryly, "You should sort out your own problems!"
Lu Man Barbarian snorted and said, "White Fang, you bastard, once the Mansion Lord comes out of seclusion, the first thing I'll do is break all eight of your wings, then let's see how you fly!" After saying that, he pulled Qing Lin and walked into the valley.
Elder Qing shrugged, looking at White Fang, indicating his helplessness.
Upon hearing Lu Man's words, White Fang's massive body trembled slightly, and its eight pairs of wings suddenly shrank back, clearly showing its deep respect for the Mansion Lord!
Qing Lin clung to Lu Man, pleading, "Sister Lu Man, please promise me! I promise I'll listen to you this time. Besides, you two Dou Huang expert are protecting me, so I'll be fine!"
Lu Man looked at Qing Lin and sighed, "In another six months, you will be officially appointed as the Saintess of my Heavenly Snake Mansion. Strive to raise your cultivation to the Dou Wang realm within these six months. This will be of great benefit to your inheritance of my Heavenly Snake Mansion's legacy!"
"And this was something the Mansion Lord told me personally. She should be out of seclusion in another six months!" Lu Man said softly.
A hint of longing appeared in Qing Lin's eyes as she murmured pleadingly, "I just want to go to the Black Corner Region to find Brother Xiao Yu. Isn't Jia Nan Academy in the Black Corner Region? I just want to take a look, okay? You can come and pick me up after you've finished your business!"
Seeing Qing Lin's soft-spoken manner, Lu Man's heart softened, and she sighed softly, saying, "Alright, but you must remember to come back after you've finished your business!"
A brilliant light suddenly flashed in Qing Lin's eyes, and he nodded excitedly, saying, "I promise, I'll come back with you after you finish your business!"
Watching Qing Lin run off excitedly, Lu Man and Elder Qing exchanged a glance, then shook their heads and smiled helplessly.
Xiao Yu, who was still in the Inner Academy of the Jia Nan Academy, was naturally unaware that Qing Lin was about to arrive in the Black Corner Region. At this moment, he was practicing alchemy. His alchemy skills had now reached the peak of the fifth rank, and he was only one step away from stepping into the sixth rank.
However, despite refining pills for so many days, he still hasn't found an opportunity to advance to the sixth rank.
Suddenly, Xiao Yu's door was pushed open, and a small white figure ran in, squatting in front of Xiao Yu and eyeing the round pills inside Xiao Yu fire cauldron with longing.
Seeing Zi Yan's greedy little face, Xiao Yu couldn't help but chuckle, "You've eaten all the pills I've refined these past few days?"
Zi Yan pouted and said, "I finished eating a long time ago, and it tasted pretty good!" She even smacked her lips as if savoring the memory.
With a wave of his hand, Xiao Yu sent several golden pills bursting out from the fire cauldron. These were the Golden Brilliance Pill refined from the Golden Brilliance Sacred Fruit that Zi Yan had brought last time!
Zi Yan swiftly grabbed the pills. These Golden Brilliance Pill contained abundant Fire Energy, which could help cultivate the physical body, making them a welcome addition for Zi Yan.
Xiao Yu put away the fire cauldron, patted Zi Yan's little head, and said, "Come for a walk with me!"
Zi Yan was naturally overjoyed to receive the pill and did not resist Xiao Yu's gesture of patting her head. She only glanced at the pill in her palm with some reluctance before saying, "Can't we go out a little later?"
Xiao Yu glared at Zi Yan, annoyed, and said, "Anyway, the pills are all in your hands, you can take them whenever you want!"
Zi Yan pouted and said, "Alright then!"
The two walked outside, and seeing that no one was in the living room, Xiao Yu asked, "Where are they?"
Zi Yan said, "They've all gone to cultivate. The Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower reopened to the public today, so they've all gone to reserve spots. Cai Die took Little Xiao Nian to play in the back mountain!"
"Xun'er went too?" Xiao Yu asked, somewhat surprised.
Zi Yan nodded and said, "That's right, Hu Jia brought them along."
The two talked as they walked towards the back of the mountain.
From afar, they could hear the roars of Big White and Little Purple, but they were angry roars. Xiao Yu's expression changed, and he shot out, with Zi Yan following closely behind.
In a small valley in the forest, the entrance to the valley is shaped like the mouth of a gourd. At the entrance of the valley, a huge white ape, with a body size of three or four zhang, stands upright, exuding an icy aura.
Heavy breaths escaped from its enormous nostrils, forming two white streaks, and its blood-red eyes showed that this giant white ape was extremely angry!
Standing before this white giant ape were two figures, one large and one small: the Big White and the Little Purple, which was about ten feet tall.
Xiao Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said with some surprise, "That's the Snow Demon Heavenly Ape? Could the Earth Core Body Tempering Milk be here?"
In a flash, Xiao Yu and Zi Yan stood beside Cai Die. Little Xiao Nian exclaimed in surprise, "Daddy!"
Xiao Yu hugged her tightly, then looked at Big White and Little Purple, who were confronting the Snow Demon Heavenly Ape, and asked Cai Die with some confusion, "What are you doing?"
Cai Die smiled and said, "Big White and Little Purple seem to have found something good here and wanted to go in and take a look, but then this giant ape suddenly appeared. Big White and Little Purple fought the giant ape to a draw, so they're locked in a stalemate here!"
When the Snow Demon Heavenly Ape saw Xiao Yu and Zi Yan, a hint of retreat flashed in its blood-red eyes. After roaring at Big White and Little Purple, it tried to go back.
However, Big White and Little Purple did not get what the giant ape wanted. Little Purple, in particular, had several bloody marks on her body. Originally, she was listless, but when she saw Xiao Yu arrive, she immediately perked up.
