Episode 69: Saving the Spirit Snake, First Meeting with the Dragon Girl, Fate is Predestined

  It is said that this white-haired dragon lady Cui Wugou was also a renowned predecessor of the Shu Mountain Swordsmen in later generations. However, at this moment, Bai Mei Zhenren had not yet ascended to immortality, and although Cui Wugou's cultivation was not ordinary, she had not yet reached the pinnacle realm and could not contend with these old top-notch experts.

  She had been cultivating in Baiyang Mountain for a long time, and Cui Wugou's cultivation was gradually improving. However, after years of practice, even if her cultivation reached an extremely high level, she couldn't escape the Great Dao and must have had some attachments. She often felt a little lonely in her heart. Whenever it was a clear and starry night with few people around, she would inevitably feel unhappy. At this time, she liked to come to Shiliu Creek to take a bath, looking up at the starry sky that was as blue as jade, which could calm and soothe her mood.

  The Shiliu Creek Pond contains a vast amount of heavenly energy, although it cannot be directly absorbed, it still has a significant impact on spiritual cultivation. However, for the young and beautiful Cui Xianzi, this is not the most important thing. What's more important is that Cui Wugou discovered that these sweet and sticky milk liquids have detoxifying, beauty-enhancing, and skin-nourishing properties. If used over a long period of time, they can even make one's body become softer and more delicate, like that of a newborn baby! Whether it's an ordinary person or a cultivator, as long as they are female, none can resist such temptation. Compared to the benefits of beauty and skin care, the effects on spiritual cultivation seem insignificant.

  However, just recently, one day, Cui Wuguo discovered that it wasn't just her who frequented the Shili Creek Pond, but also a two-headed snake often swam in it. This made her extremely angry. As a woman, she had an innate fear and disgust for reptiles. Thinking about sharing the same pond with a two-headed snake made Cui Wuguo furious.

  However, the double-headed snake was not an ordinary species of snakes. This kind of innate spiritual creature is extremely sensitive and alert. When Cui Wugong came to find it with a sword, it had already slipped away long ago. Although Cui Wugong had the intention to kill the snake, she couldn't find the double-headed snake, so how could she kill it?

  From then on, the Double-headed Serpent fought a guerrilla war with Cui Wugong. Cui Wugong was furious and finally used his divine power to capture the Double-headed Serpent. However, due to her gentle nature as a woman, she did not kill the Double-headed Serpent without reason and instead drove it away.

  That pair of snakes was also extremely spiritual, and after that, they never came to the Stone Milk Creek again. It wasn't until this time when Xiao Yunfei saved their lives that they brought him here, intending to repay their debt. However, unexpectedly, they still underestimated Cui Wugou's divine powers, and she rushed over as soon as she heard the news.

  Cui Wugou's sword light was like silver, cold and stern, rushing towards the double-headed Qiu Kuai with swift cuts. Just as the double-headed Qiu Kuai was about to die under the immortal sword, a silver light suddenly shot out from the side, which was several times faster than Cui Wugou's flying sword, arriving first despite being launched later, and blocked her sword edge directly in front of her.

  "Clang!"

  But just as she heard the sound of clashing steel, Cui Wugou felt a massive counterforce transmitted through her sword. Her heart skipped a beat in shock, knowing that a powerful enemy had arrived. The name of her sword was "Red Dragon", it was her treasured weapon for achieving enlightenment, and she feared that her beloved sword would be injured, so she quickly withdrew its light, carefully examining the blade to find no scars before breathing a sigh of relief.

  "Who is the superior one? Please show yourself!"

  With a long sword in hand, Cui Wugou's silver hair was solemn and her clothes fluttered, her whole body surging with magical power. Although she clearly knew that a strong enemy was approaching, she didn't show the slightest fear, but instead saw a flash of silver light condense into a silver flying sword, spinning and flying backwards. A strong and powerful large hand emerged from thin air, its five fingers opening and closing to grasp the hilt of the sword.

  "The white-haired dragon girl, the fairy indeed lives up to her reputation, I admire! I admire!"

  He reached out to catch the White Yang Divine Sword as it flew back, and Xiao Yunfei burst into a loud laugh. He stepped out of the thicket, his sword flashing with light, and returned the White Yang Divine Sword to its scabbard. With both hands clasped in a fist, he bowed respectfully and said: "I am Xiao Yunfei of Huashan Sect. I have met Cui Xianzi. Just now, I was presumptuous and took action, which has caused offense. I hope you will forgive me."

  Cui Wugou looked closely at Xiao Yunfei, but saw that the person was wearing a black robe, with a slender figure and a somewhat handsome face. His hair was disheveled, and his skin, exposed to the sunlight, shone brightly. His waist was narrow and his back was strong, his muscles rippling with seemingly limitless power.

  Just now, Xiao Yunfei was exploring the Sealed Divine Platform in the Inner Heaven and Earth when Cui Wugou appeared. He immediately recognized her with a glance and was overjoyed. If not for the pair of divine tortoises bringing him to this place, he wouldn't have had such great luck. Just one white-haired dragon girl would have taken him ages to find. Therefore, he couldn't let her die under Cui Wugou's sword. With a shift in his mind, he manipulated the White Yang Divine Sword to block Cui Wugou's sword light.

  Chui Wugou was taken aback, staring blankly and saying: "The Huashan School... isn't that the one that was destroyed by the Old Freak of the Secluded Spring three hundred years ago? Ah..." She spoke her mind freely, only realizing she might have misspoken after the words had already left her mouth; "I'm truly sorry, please forgive my blunt words."

  Xiao Yunfei couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and immediately laughed: "This is not your fault, this is originally the truth, you can speak freely." At the same time, he couldn't help but secretly think to himself: "Being exterminated by someone is indeed not a glorious thing, fortunately I'm not really from the Huashan Sect."

  Cui Wugou was slightly stunned, but she didn't expect that this Mount Hua Sect disciple would be so easy to talk to. In the cultivation world, such matters were not to be spoken of lightly, as they could easily lead to all sorts of grudges and grievances. However, since she had misspoken, Cui Wugou couldn't help but smile awkwardly.

  Xiao Yun shook his head and hastily changed the subject, sighing: "Cui Xianzi, it's not easy to find you! If it wasn't for that spiritual snake bringing me here, I'm afraid I would have had to make another trip."

  Cui Wugou saw that he had something unsaid, and knew that the other party must have come for a reason. She calmed down and regained her composure, asking: "But I don't know what brings Shixiong here this time?"

  The world is righteous, belonging to the same vein, so even if it's a different school, as long as the generation gap is similar, they generally call each other brothers or sisters, so it's not strange at all.

  "I won't hide it from you, sister, I've come this time with a request." Xiang Yunfei didn't have much to avoid or yield, previously he had already decided that if it was too troublesome, he might as well take action and directly seize the Golden Dragon Fire Banner. However, after passing through the underground world's Golden Ancient Temple, Xiang Yunfei thoroughly abandoned his plan to forcefully seize it.

  This Shu Mountain world is absolutely not like the Doupo and Xianxia worlds he experienced before. Perhaps, his strength was not strong enough at that time, and he was not qualified to touch all the secrets related to the Six Paths of Heaven and Earth. But now it's different. The underground world at the bottom of the creek, the Golden Ancient Temple, and even the Sealed God Platform that he collected into the Inner Heaven and Earth, all prove that this world is absolutely not as simple as what he sees now. Not to mention others, just those fallen ancient gods, where are their younger disciples, relatives and friends?!

  "Big Brother Shifu said——" Cui Wugou was about to speak, but saw that the two-headed python that had just been scared away by her sword light had actually come back again, hiding far away and staring over here. She felt a surge of anger and was about to take action, but immediately remembered the fierce sword light from earlier and scolded: "Why did Big Brother Shifu stop me from killing that snake monster earlier!"

  Xiao Yunfei chuckled and said, "What snake monster, it's just a mother with her child. Just now she almost got killed by two thugs. As a fellow practitioner of the Great Way of Heaven and Earth, you should embody the heart of heaven and refrain from killing. Besides, these kinds of heavenly creatures are hard to come by, why bother making things difficult for them?"

  When she heard this, Cui Wugou was taken aback and indeed saw two small snakes lying on the back of the pair of horned serpents, which seemed to be newborn baby snakes. The scene evoked emotions, and she also dispersed her intention to kill. She said: "Since Master has spoken, I will obey." After saying that, she looked at Xiao Yunfei again and said: "It's rare for someone to come here as a guest. My dwelling cave is just ahead of you by 100 feet. Little sister will go back and prepare some fruit and tea first, and then we can talk about the proper business later."

  Xiao Yunfei gazed at Cui Wugou's slender figure disappearing into the distance, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "I never thought that the white-haired dragon lady Cui Wugou, who was known for killing people without batting an eye in the later generations' swordsmen legends, was not only breathtakingly beautiful when she was young, but also had such a gentle temperament."

  When the two snakes saw Cui Wugong leave, they dared to crawl over and bowed repeatedly to thank him. This time, Xiao Yunfei finally understood their language of movement. He waved his hand at the spirit snake and said, "You can go now, I'm leaving too." The spirit snake was reluctant to part with him and slowly slithered away, looking back repeatedly. Seeing its behavior, Xiao Yunfei also felt a pang of sadness in his heart. Sometimes, being with animals could evoke another kind of pure emotion. Unfortunately, he didn't have the authority to take them in; otherwise, he might have been able to enlighten them and make them his helpers in the future.

  "Alas..." A sigh, Xiao Yunfei couldn't help but say: "Enough! This time we meet is also a coincidence, I'll just grant your wish!" Before he finished speaking, Xu Qing suddenly grabbed the tail of the two-headed turtle with lightning speed and infused it with a thread of innate thunder power. He said: "I'll give you a thread of innate primordial energy to help you achieve inner elixir sooner. One day when you become a refined demon, don't recklessly do evil, lest you suffer heavenly thunder in the future."

  In fact, for Xiao Yunfei, it was just a matter of raising his hand, all due to a momentary mood. But for that spiritual snake, it was a blessing from heaven, and with just a hint of innate thunder power, it could spare itself a hundred years of bitter cultivation. Later on, when Xiao Yunfei returned to the Shu Mountain world again, he had three rare double-headed divine dragons as helpers...
