A Ning floated in the air, her eyes closed, her breathing faint, and energy swirling around her, flowing continuously.
Feng Jia walked over, examined it carefully, and his eyes widened with excitement, his pupils becoming slits!
"It's perfect!"
"A nine-to-one hybrid of the Heavenly Gu Emperor Python, the future Python King!"
Feng Jia exclaimed in admiration, an expression of disbelief on his face.
"Pity..."
His mood suddenly turned somber, and he shook his head, saying, "The balance of my bloodline has been disrupted; I won't live much longer..."
Xie Feng shook the syringe. "Can't your blood mix with hers?"
Feng Jia asked, "Did Bu Lei tell you that?"
Xie Feng nodded.
Feng Jia sneered, "He's right. I possess nine-tenths of the Ancestral Python Blood, the best bloodline ever awakened in the history of the Heavenly Gu Emperor Python Race! However, the experiment of fusing my blood with hers is extremely dangerous. If it fails, this little girl will die!"
Xie Feng asked, "Do you have a solution?"
Feng Jia nodded. "Yes! But... why should I help the people of West Python Island? These pedantic and foolish fellows should be completely eliminated!"
She's mine!
Xie Feng's eyes were cold and detached as he emphasized this in a low voice.
Feng Jia's eyes suddenly lit up. "If you haven't been in cahoots with Bu Lei, then I can help you restore this girl's health! But I have one condition: can you give her to me? This powerful bloodline, fused with my Ancestral Python bloodline, will, once successful, create an existence unparalleled throughout history!"
He was extremely agitated.
"Well..." Xie Feng thought for a moment, "It's not something we can't consider..."
Feng Jia asked, "What's your relationship with this girl?"
"She is my student."
"Excellent! Give me your disciple, and she will rule the Heavenly Gu Emperor Python Race in the future! And for now, I will clear all obstacles for her and unify the East and West Islands!"
Feng Jia's eyes shone brightly, his heart burning with passion.
He values strong bloodlines, especially those with mixed-race heritage!
Xie Feng smiled and said, "I can fulfill your request, but I have conditions."
What are the conditions?
"Get me the Origin-Shaping Wood within a month!"
"What is this? I don't know!"
"It's alright, you can look it up if you don't know. As long as you bring the Origin-Shaping Wood, I can also help you deal with West Python Island."
Is this really true?
Feng Jia's expression changed slightly; he was deeply moved!
Xie Feng possesses the Extreme Dao Sword; with the Extreme Dao Sword, sweeping away any place would be a piece of cake!
Xie Feng nodded with a smile.
Feng Jia immediately agreed; to hesitate for even a second would be to disrespect such a tremendous temptation!
"Wow, if you went into business, you'd be a legend... You're so cunning!"
Inside his Dantian, Little Sword was stunned.
On West Python Island, Xie Feng made grand promises to Bu Lei, asking him to retrieve the Origin-Shaping Wood while he went to deal with Feng Jia.
On East Python Island, Xie Feng made grand promises to Feng Jia, asking him to retrieve the Origin-Shaping Wood, while he went to deal with Bu Lei...
"A two-faced person!"
Little Sword cried out in terror, "Won't I go astray if I follow you? I'm a good sword..."
Xie Feng's forehead vein throbbed.
Seeing this, Little Sword immediately shut up.
Feng Jia said, "Brother Xie, I need time regarding the matter of A Ning's bloodline, so please stay on East Python Island for now! Besides, West Python Island is unsafe; it's a den of demons. They've been harming hybrid imperial pythons. From Yi Da'er to Bu Lei, not a single one of them is good; they're the embodiment of evil. So, staying on East Python Island is the most peaceful and safest place for you!"
Xie Feng nodded. "I'll do as you say."
Feng Jia smiled broadly, "Of course I will prepare the best room for you, Brother Xie!"
Xie Feng said with a forced smile, "We don't seem to know each other that well, and besides, you've made me sound old."
Feng Jia chuckled dryly, "From what you're saying, Brother Xie, don't you want to be friends with me? As for the form of address, if you don't like it, I'll just call you Young Master Xie, that's fine too!"
Xie Feng shrugged. "Okay!"
Feng Jia arranged for Xie Feng to stay in a luxurious courtyard near the palace, surrounded by green hills and clear waters, a very peaceful place.
Feng Jia didn't send anyone to specifically monitor him; he knew that doing so would only demonstrate foolishness.
Monitoring a powerful individual wielding Extreme Dao Sword is like playing with fire and getting burned!
Upon arriving at the location, Little Sword eagerly jumped out of Xie Feng's Dantian.
It floated in mid-air, let out a long sigh of relief, and said with a sense of liberation, "I'm finally out! Who could stand being forced to read all day by some bookworm inside?!"
Upon hearing this, Kong Qiusu, who was practicing calligraphy in his Dantian, raised his eyelids, gave a soft snort, and shook his head. "This child is beyond redemption!"
Little Sword gritted his teeth. "Please, I'm just a sword! I don't want to experience this kind of human suffering!"
Kong Qiusu sighed and fell silent.
Little Sword over and asked Xie Feng, who was sitting at a table in the courtyard, "Brother, do you trust Feng Jia?"
Xie Feng asked, "What do you think?"
Xiao Sword Dao, "Tsk, I feel this guy is more honest Bu Lei. Bu Lei is too cunning!"
Xie Feng nodded in agreement and poured himself a cup of tea. "If Feng Jia still wants to rely on me to destroy West Python Island, then he won't make any rash moves in the short term."
Little Sword jumped onto the table, then into the teacup, gulped down the tea in two gulps, and said blissfully, "After talking for so long, my mouth was so dry, but I feel much better now!"
Xie Feng smiled, "Do you believe me if I want to hit you?"
Little Sword quickly jumped ten feet away, grinning as he said, "A gentleman uses words, not fists, and you are a gentleman! Besides, what's wrong with having a cup of tea? We're like brothers!"
Xie Feng tossed a teacup at it, hitting it squarely and knocking it to the ground. He smiled brightly and said, "I'm a petty person; you'd better stay away."
Little Sword: "..."
Xie Feng picked up his teacup again, brewed some tea, took a sip, and calmly said:
"My goal in the Heavenly Gu Emperor Python Race is to help A Ning wake up healthy and obtain the Origin-Shaping Wood. As for the internal conflict between Bu Lei Feng Jia, I will help whoever achieves my goal first!"
Little Sword, trying to be clever, said, "What if Feng Jia revives A Ning, Bu Lei obtains the Origin-Shaping Wood?"
"..."
After a moment's thought, Xie Feng said, "Then... we'll just have to improvise!"
At this point, he suddenly remembered something and took out Burning Faith and a vial of blood from his spatial ring.
This blood comes from Feng Jia, and it is the blood of the Ancestral Python Blood, which is even more noble and powerful than the Python King Blood!
It's an excellent choice as a starter!
Xie Feng placed the Burning Faith carefully, then gently dripped the Ancestral Python Blood onto the tree-seed-like treasure.
As the blood dripped down, billowing white smoke immediately rose, and a rich energy emanated from it.
Click!
The outer layer of the Burning Faith gradually cracked.
A moment later, due to the effects of the Ancestral Python Blood, the outer skin of the Burning Faith completely peeled off, revealing a mass of wriggling liquid inside.
The liquid was crystal clear, entirely blue, with flowing gold patterns inside, making it appear exceptionally alluring.
Energy surges within it; without touching it, just by sensing it, one can know how devastating it would be if released!
