"Dare to steal Qing Jun’s fruit! Die!"
The little girl was already furious because this demon snake almost destroyed her cherished big fruit.
Seeing it fall into the water now, she immediately attacked the snake in the water, diving into the rolling crimson blood pool.
"Qing Jun, don’t enter the blood water!" Zhiwei called out clearly, "This blood pool is formed from essence blood, any ordinary cultivator who touches it will disintegrate."
"Don’t worry, senior sister! Qing Jun knows what she’s doing!"
The little girl’s blood was surging, and a faint silver glow appeared on the surface of her body, completely isolating the scalding corrosive blood water.
This was a bloodline ability she awakened after obtaining the dragon scales back then.
The name is unknown.
It’s like the Human Race’s protective spiritual light, but stronger.
"For Qing Jun— smash it!"
In mid-air, Qing Jun twisted her waist, clasped her fists together, and struck the wound where the demon snake’s scales had already been shattered!
"Crack!"
The body of the red-scaled one-horned snake that was frantically rolling suddenly stiffened, and even the green snake biting it was shaken dizzy by this immense force.
Slightly worried, Su Qingdai shouted urgently:
"Fellow sisters, be careful when making your move! Don’t hurt Qing Huan... it’s the small green snake biting the demon snake!"
"Taoist Su, don’t worry," Zhiwei immediately looked at Jin’er, "Jin’er, it’s up to you now!"
"Got it, senior sister!"
Jin’er on the shore nodded obediently and formed a seal with her hands.
A ball of leaping flames at her fingertips soared away, not extinguished by the blood, evaporating a large vacuum area in the blood pool, carefully avoiding the small green snake, then burrowing into the demon snake’s wound and wreaking havoc, causing it to scream hysterically in pain.
Seeing the flesh melting and the internal organs exposed.
"Great Yan Wind Thunder, cut!"
Zhiwei pointed her sword from a distance, and three gourd swords transformed into a striking sword qi more than ten feet long, sweeping across!
"Screech—!"
The sword qi sliced into the demon snake’s body without obstruction, wreaking havoc inside, with blood and mud gushing out.
The demon snake let out a mournful cry, collapsed in the boiling blood water, and was silent.
"Qing Huan, come back!"
Seeing the demon snake dead, Su Qingdai finally breathed a long sigh of relief and quickly formed a spell.
A weak verdant flowing light darted out from the blood water, wobbling back to her sleeve.
The usually energetic little green snake now had dull scales, evidently injured in vital energy by the desperation struggle and the residual waves of the magical battle from that demon snake, and was pitifully sticking out its tongue.
"You’ve worked hard..." Su Qingdai tenderly patted Qing Huan’s head and hurriedly fed it a few heart-protecting detox pills.
"Mine! All mine! All Qing Jun’s!"
With the crisis just abated, the little girl fiercely kicked off the bottom of the blood pool, leaping high towards the cliff’s hanging Dragon Blood Bodhi tree.
She landed lightly beside the inverse scale, looking at the three crystalline red fruits on the branch, swallowing involuntarily.
"So fragrant!"
Qing Jun extended her tender white hand, carefully cradling a Dragon Blood Bodhi.
The fruit was warm like jade, and just the touch gave a slight scorching heat. Merely smelling its aroma made her blood surge.
Su Qingdai, at the foot of the cliff, looked up at this scene with complex emotions.
A third-tier upper-grade peerless spirit fruit, just like that, fell into the hands of a little glutton...
If at this moment, with the help of the remnant array...
Back then,
She wanted to join forces with Yang Qiu, and finally take Qing Huan and the remnant array to slay them by surprise.
"Forget it... these three little girls are different from Yang Qiu, let alone, they’re even more powerful."
Zhiwei sheathed her sword, her white clothes unstained, and gracefully floated to the shore, softly advising.
"Qing Jun, be careful when picking, don’t damage the foundation, remember to leave a chance for others."
Qing Jun puzzled: "Senior sister! Let’s just take this tree back and let the master cultivate it? A third-tier spirit plant, leaving it here is too much a waste! Selling it for Spirit Stones would fetch a lot!"
She should leave a chance for others?
What a joke!
Your own chance is true destiny, leaving it for others, what is that?
Zhiwei shook her head:
"This fruit ripens only once every three hundred years, and Dragon Blood Bodhi needs the flood dragon here and the blood-gathering grand array to cultivate. If we take it back, I’m afraid it would wither away this spirit plant in vain, better to leave it and take it again later."
"Alright then..."
Qing Jun couldn’t help but feel disappointed, she carefully picked the three fruits into a jade box.
In the end,
She glanced at the yet-to-bloom flower bud and without hesitation, picked it into the jade box as well.
The flower bud would take another two hundred years to bear fruit, and she couldn’t wait that long!
Seeing this, Zhiwei at the foot of the cliff shook her head helplessly.
This girl, she’s really a plucker of every feather...
"Senior sister, senior sister, look! It smells so good!"
Not long after, Qing Jun, holding the jade box, landed back on the shore, eagerly showing it to Zhiwei like presenting a treasure.
Even with the lid on, the jade box couldn’t hide its intoxicating fragrance.
The little girl looked eagerly at the jade box, her eyes gleaming.
Zhiwei gently ruffled her soft silver hair, then looked at Su Qingdai who was still helping Qing Huan to settle her energy:
"Taoist Su, in this demon-slaying array-breaking effort, both you and your spirit pet worked hard. According to the prior agreement, you are entitled to one of these three Dragon Blood Bodhis."
"Mhm. Thank you, fellow sisters."
Su Qingdai discreetly withdrew her spiritual power.
To tell the truth, at the last moment, she was still a bit worried that these three little girls would go back on their word, and had prepared for a magical battle.
"Ugh... alright then."
Seeing her senior sister speak, Qing Jun reluctantly tossed a jade box to Su Qingdai, startlingly making Su Qingdai scramble to catch it, afraid it might break.
Su Qingdai slightly opened a slit to confirm it was indeed the precious Dragon Blood Bodhi, then placed it into her Storage Bag.
