Cui Jiuyang did not know whether to laugh or cry. He had the complete Dragon-Trapping Pillars technique, but he had never imagined that such an incredibly powerful secret art could be reduced to such a fragmentary state and still work!
One hundred and eight needles meant to trap dragons had been whittled down to seven needles for catching snakes?
That was one hell of a downgrade!
No wonder he had failed to recognize the origins of the needle technique!
Cui Jiuyang grabbed Bai Susu, who was still savoring the memory of the roast chicken, and headed into the cave, saying impatiently as he went, "Quick, quick, come inside with me! Sit down, hurry. Sit on the stone platform."
Bai Susu stumbled as he pulled her along. She was utterly bewildered and had no idea what had suddenly gotten into Cui Jiuyang, but the little white snake obeyed his every word. Even without understanding, she obediently did as he said.
She sat cross-legged on the cold stone platform, facing Cui Jiuyang.
But Cui Jiuyang waved at her again and said urgently, "No, no, not facing me. Turn your back to me! Sit on your heels. That'll make it easier."
Bai Susu dared not delay. Easier? she wondered.
As she thought, she quickly turned around and settled into place facing the cave wall, her back to Cui Jiuyang.
Cui Jiuyang sat behind her, scratching the back of his head as he struggled to recall the complete operating method and countermeasure for the Dragon-Trapping Pillars recorded in the journal. "Hmm... it should be like this... I've figured it out. Quick, Su Su, take your clothes off!"
Bai Susu was facing the cold wall, concentrating on waiting for Cui Jiuyang's next instruction. At his words, her body suddenly stiffened, and she was completely stunned.
