A Drop of Pangu's Essence Blood

Liuhuo looked at Jiang Yao with a solemn little face.

"Why did you do that?"

Jiang Yao refused to admit it.

"Senior Brother, what are you talking about?"

Liuhuo pointed at the Cosmos Bag hanging from Jiang Yao's waist. The difference between a Cosmos Bag and a Storage Bag was that a Storage Bag could not be used without spiritual power, while a Cosmos Bag could still be used without it.

A Storage Bag needed blood to recognize its owner, but a Cosmos Bag could be used without such a blood bond.

When Jiang Yao had released the snake just now, Liuhuo, who had happened to climb up a tree, saw it all.

"Junior Sister, I saw it with my own eyes, and you're still arguing! Why did you release the snake? Do you know how dangerous it is? It could bite someone else!"

Liuhuo moved to chase after it, but Jiang Yao wrapped her arms around his waist and refused to let him go.

"Wuwu, Senior Brother Liuhuo, I didn't do it on purpose! The Li family gave me that spirit beast and said I needed to drip blood to recognize it as my own. I was just trying to form the blood bond, but it ran away by itself.

Senior Brother, don't tell Martial Uncle and the others, or Master will beat me.

Senior Brother, we used to play together all the time, but ever since Junior Sister came back, you've ignored me. Senior Brother, do you not like Yaoyao anymore? Yaoyao is so sad!"

Seeing how heartbroken she looked, Liuhuo hesitated.

"You really didn't release the snake on purpose?"

Jiang Yao nodded, her eyes brimming with tears as she promised him.

"Senior Brother, I promise, I really didn't do it on purpose. I nearly got bitten by that snake just now. I don't know why the Li family gave me a snake like that as a spirit pet.

What do we do now? The snake ran away. If the Li family finds out I didn't form a blood bond with Little Black Snake, will they blame me?

Senior Brother, I want to return to the Myriad Talisman Sect during this break. I don't want to go to the Li family. I have no family there. You senior brothers and sisters are my family. Do you really not want me anymore? Wuwuwuwu, Yaoyao is so sad!"

Before Jiang Wan had returned, Liuhuo had indeed been close to Jiang Yao. Seeing her cry so miserably now, the softhearted little boy consoled her.

"Don't cry. Master and Mistress are both in secluded cultivation now. During this break, Junior Sister Wanwan and I will both be staying at Tianyan Peak. How about you stay at Changhe Peak too? If you don't want to go to the Li family, then don't go."

Hearing that, Jiang Yao immediately nodded.

"Alright! I also think it's better not to return to the Li family, though it's still a little regrettable that I can't go back to the Myriad Talisman Sect.

Senior Brother, how about we go find Senior Brother Jin Yao? We can say we saw a snake and tell him to hurry and catch it, alright?"

Liuhuo thought that was a good idea too. He just felt a little uncomfortable about lying, but when he saw her tear-filled eyes fixed on him, his heart softened again.

"Senior Brother, now that you have Junior Sister Wanwan, are all of you abandoning Yaoyao? Wuwuwu, Yaoyao is so pitiful. Father and Mother don't want Yaoyao anymore. Senior Brother, do you not want Yaoyao either?"

Seeing her like this, Liuhuo hurriedly gave in. He had not realized that Jiang Yao had said all this through voice transmission. If she had spoken aloud, there was no telling whether a Foundation Establishment Cultivator's divine sense would have heard it.

"Junior Sister, don't cry. Then let's hurry and find Senior Brother Jin Yao. I won't say that you were the one who released the snake."

Having achieved her goal, Jiang Yao immediately looked at him eagerly and broke into a smile.

When they found Jin Yao, he and Yin Shuo were studying the snake's species and why it had appeared here.

When Jiang Yao saw the snake before them with its head severed from its body, her heart sank. It had been cut off by a sword.

Seeing the two of them approach together, Jin Yao asked curiously,

"What is it?"

"Martial Uncle, we came to say that we found a snake. It was this one, but it looks like you Martial Uncles have already killed it. It didn't bite anyone, did it?"

At Liuhuo's question, Jin Yao shook his head.

"Though this snake is venomous, it didn't bite anyone. Instead, Junior Sister Jiang Wan chased after it and whipped it several times."

Jin Yao found the scene amusing just thinking about it. A newborn calf was not afraid of a tiger.

Jiang Yao's mouth fell open in shock.

Jin Yao laughed heartily.

"Alright, go back. We'll investigate this matter."

After Liuhuo and Jiang Yao returned, they heard Nangong Wanyu telling the story.

"I was scared half to death at the time. Jiang Wan grabbed a whip and lashed at that snake. The pain made it roll around on the ground before it got up and ran away.

Wanwan was amazing! She chased after it and gave it a thorough whipping, then Senior Brother Dong Chen went over and cut off its head with one stroke of his sword."

The children gathered around her, exclaiming in shocked admiration, "Wow, so amazing! Waaa, wow!"

Nangong Wanyu flicked her little whip and lifted her chin.

"A mere First-Order Demonic Beast. If I see one again next time, I'll be able to kill a First-Order Demonic Beast too."

Jiang Wan lay sprawled over the stone table beside her, watching her grand ambitions. The other little children were also howling with excitement, declaring that they too could kill First-Order Demonic Beasts.

Tsk, tsk. Next time, Martial Uncle Jin Yao and the others should add a practical combat class. After all, no matter how young they were, they were still cultivators.

When Jiang Wan saw Liuhuo and Jiang Yao return together, she raised an eyebrow.

Jiang Yao followed Liuhuo over and smiled at Jiang Wan.

"Junior Sister, you're amazing. I saw that snake just now too, and it scared me so badly that I cried. It would be wonderful if I were as capable as you."

Jiang Wan rolled her eyes and did not want to bother with her.

She stretched out her chubby little hand and waved it to the left.

"Move aside. Don't block me.

I won't forgive what your Mother did to me, and I won't forgive you either. Don't talk to me. I don't want to talk to you."

She suddenly remembered what the system had said: she had killed the Heavenly Dao's chosen daughter of fortune. So what about now?

"System, take a look at who's standing in front of me?"

[Huh, you actually revived the daughter of fortune. No wonder the Heavenly Dao is being so lenient with you now. Very good. You have bought yourself enough time once again.

The daughter of fortune you revived is still young, so you may leave her alone for now. It will take several hundred years for her to grow up. By then, Host will surely have completely cleared your name and been accepted by the Heavenly Dao.

You crossed the river of time and found her three souls and seven spirits from the Myriad Worlds, then remolded a physical body for her. You must have gone through countless hardships and obstacles, trudging forward with every step fraught with difficulty, right?

Host's determination to clear your name moves heaven and earth; the sun and moon bear witness.

The system has found a suitable reward for you: a drop of Pangu's Essence Blood.

After fusing with Pangu's Essence Blood, you can obtain one-thousandth of Pangu's Power.]

Jiang Wan froze for a moment. Was it really alright for her strength to keep stacking up like this?

But if it was on her, then it was great. Very reassuring.

Speaking of which, she still had the Primordial Chaos Body she had not fused with, and now there was another drop of Pangu's Essence Blood. She should take it slowly. Could this little body handle so much? Would it stop her from growing taller?

Having received a reward, Jiang Wan was in a good mood, but she still did not want to see Jiang Yao.

Especially when she heard her pretentious, syrupy words.

"Junior Sister, I know my Mother was wrong, but my Mother is my Mother, and I am me. Junior Sister, can you not be angry with me? I want to play with all of you."

Jiang Yao inwardly sneered. There was definitely something wrong with this little brat. Otherwise, why was she so hard to coax?

Look at Senior Brother Liuhuo. Wasn't he easy to coax?

Jiang Wan stood up and moved far away from her.

"But I don't want to play with you!"

Jiang Yao's eyes reddened, as though someone had bullied her. Seeing that expression, Jiang Wan's hands itched. She wanted to beat up a child.
