A Day of Watching the Drama Unfold

Under Gute's reluctant gaze, Xiao Yi Xian and the others left that wretched place...

Gute watched their departing figures. He had actually wanted to get more Companion Amethyst Crystal Source, but since that lady had not brought it up, he did not dare ask.

Even if his brother was Gu He, he was not Gu He himself. In front of such a powerhouse, it was already good enough not to suffer a loss. She had been generous enough.

Alchemists might appear glamorous, but this world ultimately revered strength. Without strength, one's lifespan was limited to those few years...

Xiao Yi Xian looked curiously at Xiao Ling'er, who was clutching the beast core. "Xiao Ling'er, what kind of beast core is that?"

A faint smile appeared on Xiao Ling'er's face as she looked at the worn beast core in her arms. "It belonged to a senior of my clan. I believe it will be quite useful to me as well!"

Xiao Yi Xian nodded. Yao Lao had said that beings of this race could not break through so easily, yet she had watched Xiao Ling'er advance quite smoothly during this time.

Perhaps some other factor was needed for later breakthroughs?

Otherwise, this race would be far too formidable. They should have ruled the entire world.

Outside Blackrock City, a massive figure flew toward the Tagel Desert.

"Roar!"

Chi Han let out a furious roar at the sky. Flying was something everyone yearned for.

Every time she beat her wings, Chi Han could barely resist roaring aloud.

The white clouds around them were incredibly close. With the slightest touch, it felt as though the soft sensation of cotton passed through them.

The scenery below was equally beautiful. Countless forests looked like tiny dots, while the multicolored earth below painted a picture of nature.

"Yay, yay, yay!"

Xiao Ling'er was also extremely happy. The sensation of being high in the sky made her feel wonderfully comfortable.

Liu Yan smiled faintly from behind, gazing toward the red sun ahead as thick white clouds silently drifted past.

A massive white figure tore through the sky. Its enormous white wings beat, scattering countless clouds.

Time seemed to pass amid the endless flight. As the sun set, specks of red light shone over the land.

A massive figure suddenly descended beside a lake. Holding Xiao Ling'er, Xiao Yi Xian spread the Purple Cloud Wings behind her and gracefully landed on the ground.

Liu Yan followed shortly afterward. It was time to eat and rest.

They could not simply go without food. Although they could already abstain from eating, life was meant to be enjoyed.

"Roar! Who permitted you to trespass into this king's territory?!"

A thunderous voice rang out from the bottom of the lake, its tremendous sound waves stirring up countless splashes.

A gigantic blue serpent emerged from the water. Its enormous eyes stared fixedly at the group before its gaze settled on Chi Han.

"You white flying snake, since you know this is this king's territory, why have you set foot here?!"

The blue serpent stared hard at Chi Han as the overwhelming pressure of a Dou Wang bore down on her.

Chi Han frowned slightly, releasing the pressure of a fellow Dou Wang as she let out a furious howl at the Azure Serpent Python!

She naturally knew this was the Azure Serpent Python's territory, but the little ancestor had chosen this place. This was also her chance to prove herself.

The sword case behind Xiao Yi Xian blocked the pressure from the two beasts. Liu Yan behind her also let out a breath, feeling as though he had nearly been finished.

A trace of fear flashed through his eyes as he looked at the Azure Serpent Python before him. An Azure Serpent Python was a fifth-tier magical beast, an overlord-class existence.

Although he did not know how the young lady had avoided the pressure of two Dou Wangs, he knew that her combat strength was only slightly greater than his own.

Now, he could only place his hopes on Chi Han. During this time, Chi Han had advanced from a One-star Dou Wang to a Three-star Dou Wang.

Advancing three stars in less than a year was already very fast, and that was thanks to the pills he had refined. After all, the stronger Chi Han became, the safer he would be.

The young lady was still growing, so he could only rely on Chi Han's strength...

"Boom!"

The enormous wings behind Chi Han spread as she quickly flew upward, taking control of the skies.

The Azure Serpent Python's eyes brimmed with fighting spirit as it looked at the Three-star Dou Wang Chi Han. After all, it was a Five-star Dou Wang. Not only did it hold an absolute advantage, but as the lord of this place, it had even greater odds of victory.

"Boom!"

The Azure Serpent Python's massive tail struck the lake, and waves like a raging tempest instantly tore through the air.

Chi Han spread her wings and dodged the waves, then condensed the venom in her mouth into a ball and fired it out.

The Azure Serpent Python's pupils suddenly contracted at the sight of the poison. It had not expected this white flying snake to be adept with venom.

Huge waves rolled out one after another, tangling with the poison ball before crashing down around them.

Black rain fell across the area. Countless trees, flowers, and grasses withered the instant they were touched.

Xiao Yi Xian slightly opened her mouth and swallowed the rainwater falling over the heads of the three of them.

"A little bitter!" Xiao Yi Xian muttered softly.

As the rain in the sky was scattered, Chi Han dove down and charged at the Azure Serpent Python.

The two serpents instantly entwined. Their enormous constricting force wrapped around each other's bodies as their sharp fangs bit into one another.

The blue and white giant serpents tore at each other. The clear lake water was instantly dyed red, while massive waves rose one after another.

Xiao Yi Xian covered Xiao Ling'er's eyes. The battle before her was somewhat different from what she had imagined.

This was plainly a close-quarters brawl. The sight of two snakes biting each other was really not recommended for children.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The two serpents churned up waves across the lake. After an unknown amount of time, silver moonlight shone upon them. Chi Han shook her body, bit out the Azure Serpent Python's beast core, and flew out.

In the end, Chi Han won this battle. Do not ask why—this was the difference between a venomous snake and a nonvenomous one.

Chi Han's body was covered in wounds, and blood continuously flowed from her enormous wings.

Xiao Yi Xian looked at Chi Han and said seriously, "You've worked hard. Eat the beast core and recover properly!"

"Mhm!"

Chi Han nodded and coiled up nearby to nurse her wounds...

The Purple Cloud Wings behind Xiao Yi Xian spread as she flew over to the Azure Serpent Python. The huge blue body had now turned red, and the once beautiful lake had become blood-red as well.

The sword case behind Xiao Yi Xian trembled. She gripped You Su tightly, flying east and west until she found some nonpoisonous meat. After cutting off several pieces, she returned.

Before long, thick smoke rose above the treetops, and a sweet fragrance filled the surroundings...

The three of them ate with great relish. The snake meat was fresh and springy, and the energy it contained left their faces flushed red.

After eating and drinking their fill, Xiao Yi Xian held Xiao Ling'er and watched the stars drift across the sky. As for Chi Han, since there was no meal for her, she could only sadly eat raw meat after tending to her wounds.

Xiao Yi Xian gazed at the silver moon and glittering stars, saying faintly, "Chanting to the moon, treading upon stars, a thousand illusions fade; the young man's road stretches far away!"
