Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils

Qing Lin screamed in terror and collapsed to the ground.

Jia Lie Jun steeled his heart, and the Purple Cloud Wings flashed out at full speed. In just a few breaths, he appeared in front of Qing Lin and pulled the girl tightly into his arms. With a loud bang, the snake tail lashed heavily against Jia Lie Jun's back, sending him flying close to the ground for dozens of meters before he slammed into the stone wall and finally stopped. Jia Lie Jun gave a muffled groan, then suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Brother Jun, it's all my fault. If I hadn't held you back..." Seeing that Jia Lie Jun had been seriously injured while saving her, Qing Lin blamed herself terribly, tears filling her eyes.

"Not good." Feeling the fierce gust of wind coming from behind him, Jia Lie Jun had just tried to get up when pain tore through his entire body. It felt as if his bones were about to shatter, and the organs inside him were churning like a raging sea.

"You're not allowed to hurt Brother Jun." Qing Lin spread her arms and stood in front of Jia Lie Jun. Her young little face was filled with determination, and her originally black-grape-like pupils glowed faintly green. Deep within them, three tiny jade-green dots grew clearer and clearer. Watching the snake tail tear through the air toward her, Qing Lin's expression did not change as her eyes locked straight onto the Twin-Headed Fire Spirit Snake's eyes.

Seeing that the snake tail was about to strike Qing Lin, Jia Lie Jun's heart filled with anxiety, but his body refused to obey him. Suddenly, just as the snake tail was half a foot away from Qing Lin, it came to a forceful stop. Jia Lie Jun let out a breath of relief, the clothes on his back soaked through with cold sweat. He lifted his head and looked over, only to see three tiny jade-green dots flash through the vertical pupils of the Twin-Headed Fire Spirit Snake. Immediately afterward, it seemed to lose its mind, its gaze turning hollow.

She actually triggered the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils by accident. Jia Lie Jun was delighted. Lying on the ground, he gasped for breath in great mouthfuls, and his tense mind instantly relaxed.

"Back down." For some reason, Qing Lin kept feeling that there was now some vague connection between her and the Twin-Headed Fire Spirit Snake, something she could not put into words. At her words, the Twin-Headed Fire Spirit Snake obediently retreated back into the magma.

"Brother Jun, are you all right?" Seeing that the crisis had passed, Qing Lin hurriedly helped Jia Lie Jun up and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. Crystal tears still hung at the corners of her eyes, and her face was full of worry, making her look extremely pitiful.

"I'm fine. I just need to meditate and recover for a while." Jia Lie Jun wiped the tears from the corners of Qing Lin's eyes and comforted her softly. Then he took out a jade bottle from his Storage Ring, swallowed the pills inside, and immediately sat down to cultivate.

Three hours later, a muffled sound came from within Jia Lie Jun's body, as if some bottleneck had been broken. "I actually broke through to a four-star Dou Shi. This time, I really turned disaster into fortune." Looking at the four dazzling stars around the Dou Qi Nebula, Jia Lie Jun could not help smiling. Then his mind withdrew from his Dantian.

"Brother Jun, how are your injuries recovering?" As soon as Jia Lie Jun opened his eyes, Qing Lin's pretty face appeared before him, full of anxiety.

"They're healed. My injuries have already fully recovered." Jia Lie Jun gently stroked Qing Lin's forehead. Qing Lin's pretty face flushed red, but she did not resist. After pondering for a moment, he asked, "Qing Lin, can you try controlling that Twin-Headed Fire Spirit Snake now?"

"I can. I don't know why, but there's a kind of connection between me and it now. Whether that connection is cut off or not depends on my will." Qing Lin looked puzzled. Seeing her dazed, adorable expression, Jia Lie Jun could not resist reaching out and pinching her face. Her pretty cheeks kept changing shape, making him burst into laughter.

"Brother Jun, stop pinching. You'll pinch it broken." Qing Lin pouted, pushing lightly at him with her small hands, and only then did her pretty face escape Jia Lie Jun's persecution. "All right, no more fooling around. Summon the Twin-Headed Fire Spirit Snake out," Jia Lie Jun said solemnly after coughing a few times.

Qing Lin nodded. Her pretty face tightened as she tried hard to grasp the connection between herself and the beast. Jia Lie Jun watched with great interest from the side. Before long, the surface of the magma began to sway continuously, and the Twin-Headed Fire Spirit Snake slowly surfaced. Suddenly, Qing Lin's pretty face turned pale, dizziness washing through her mind as her body swayed slightly a few times. Jia Lie Jun hurriedly stepped forward to support her and asked with concern, "Qing Lin, what's wrong? Don't force yourself too much."

"Brother Jun, I'm fine. My mind is just a little tired." Qing Lin shook her head.

It's probably because this is her first time using the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils to control a magical beast, and her Spiritual Power isn't very abundant either. Looks like I can teach her the Divine Movement Chapter in the future. It should be greatly beneficial to her cultivation later on. Jia Lie Jun pondered for a moment, then took out several pills that nourished Spiritual Power and placed them in Qing Lin's mouth. Touching Qing Lin's small hand lightly, he slowly sent Dou Qi into her body to help her refine the medicinal strength. Only after a while did her complexion gradually become rosy again.

Seeing the Twin-Headed Fire Spirit Snake staring at him, Jia Lie Jun's anger flared for no reason. He kicked at it, raised his middle finger, and said, "What are you looking at? Bite me if you dare." Qing Lin could not help laughing from the side. Jia Lie Jun's old face reddened, and he coughed a few times to hide his embarrassment before clearing his throat and saying, "Ask it whether it has ever seen any Heavenly Flames."

"Brother Jun, it says it has. They're deep inside this magma." Just like that, Qing Lin acted as the messenger between Jia Lie Jun and the Twin-Headed Fire Spirit Snake.

"Excellent. Heaven doesn't disappoint those who work hard. Tell it to take me down." Jia Lie Jun suppressed the excitement in his heart, then took out a jade bottle and sprinkled all the medicinal powder inside over his body. In an instant, waves of cold air emanated from him. Dou Qi gathered over his surface into a gauze robe, and a Spiritual Power shield followed close behind. Finally, Purple Fire transformed into armor, wrapping his entire body within it. After making his preparations, Jia Lie Jun leaped up and rode on one of the Twin-Headed Fire Spirit Snake's heads.

The Twin-Headed Fire Spirit Snake whimpered a few times in a low voice and shook its head, as if somewhat dissatisfied. Jia Lie Jun smashed a punch into the Fire Spirit Snake's back, looking rather like a petty man drunk on a little power, and snorted coldly. "Behave yourself, or see how I deal with you. Oh right, Qing Lin, make sure you explain it properly. Tell this stupid snake not to suddenly attack me."

"Don't worry, Brother Jun. I've already told it." Qing Lin covered her lips and laughed softly.

As soon as the words fell, the Twin-Headed Fire Spirit Snake carried Jia Lie Jun down beneath the magma. The Twin-Headed Fire Spirit Snake was extremely fast, and before long, it had traveled several li. Along the way, Jia Lie Jun was secretly alarmed by what he saw. Beneath the magma, there were still quite a few magical beasts hidden. Although their levels were not very high, if they swarmed him, they could probably wear a person to death.

"Good thing I didn't act rashly." Jia Lie Jun lightly patted his chest and let out a deep breath. "Sigh, I say, you stupid snake, you've got some ability after all. How about it? Want to follow me? I guarantee you'll be able to take human form in the future." Seeing all those magical beasts tremble in fear at the sight of the Twin-Headed Fire Spirit Snake, Jia Lie Jun started spouting nonsense.

Hearing this, the Twin-Headed Fire Spirit Snake turned one head to look at Jia Lie Jun, its eyes seeming to carry a trace of disdain, as though saying, A defeated opponent like you wants me to follow you? Keep dreaming. It snorted lightly through its nose, then turned its head back and continued swimming toward the depths of the magma.

After roughly half an hour, a Lotus Platform entered his sight.
