Chapter 898 - 267: [Wealthy Household] (Part 2)
"...Give me five minutes... no, three minutes!" Shen Shiqi frantically stuffed the bread into his mouth.

Following the terrain of the mountain stream southward, after walking for about an hour, Chen Yan stopped in his tracks.
Looking at the valley in front of him, Chen Yan couldn’t help but sigh, "What a place!"
The temperature here was noticeably several degrees lower. Although it was not even three in the afternoon, and the sunlight was still quite strong, the air in the valley was filled with a chill that made one shiver slightly as they approached.
Chen Yan pondered for a moment, then took out a coat from the storage jade pendant and handed it to Shen Shiqi to wear. His small body looked wobbly in the adult-sized coat.
Chen Yan then casually patted two Fortune-Telling Talismans on him.
Shen Shiqi glanced at them and couldn’t help but whisper, "These low-level talisman papers aren’t really effective against Evil Qi."
"They mainly provide psychological comfort," Chen Yan said calmly.
However, he casually took out a stack of Six Yang Righteous Qi Talismans and handed them to Shen Shiqi.
"Do you know how to use them?"
"I don’t." Shen Shiqi shook his head. "This thing requires Primordial Qi to activate. I don’t have any cultivation."
Chen Yan smiled, "These talismans are made using the Sealing Spirit Technique. You just need to tear one open when you need it, and it will activate."
Shen Shiqi raised his eyebrows and glanced downward, revealing a curious expression on his face, "Sealing Spirit Technique? You actually know how to do that?"
Chen Yan didn’t say anything further but took out an anti-explosive fork and held it in his hand—something he had stocked back when that fool had been tricked by some Doomsday System.
The valley was overgrown with weeds, some even waist-high—so much so that when Shen Shiqi walked in, his body was almost hidden, only his head bobbing above the grass.
Chen Yan walked in front, swinging the anti-explosive fork in his hand to clear a path through the wild grass.
Suddenly, his eyes flashed, and he quickly made a flicking motion with the anti-explosive fork. With a snap, he lifted a brownish-yellow snake out of the grass.
This snake was as thick as a child’s arm, its mouth open and hissing at the two of them. Chen Yan’s expression remained unchanged as he flicked the snake away with a jab. At the same time, he extended his other hand, gently flicking his fingers, sending out a Finger Sword that pierced the snake’s head mid-air!
"This is a place where the Qi of Yin Sha gathers. It’s a paradise for cold and venomous creatures," Chen Yan sighed.
Shen Shiqi’s face was already pale, "I-I’m most afraid of snakes."
Chen Yan turned his head and smiled at Shen Shiqi, then suddenly whispered, "Don’t move."
"..." Shen Shiqi’s body stiffened.
Chen Yan narrowed his eyes and slowly inhaled, "Don’t move... whatever you do, don’t move, don’t look back!"
Shen Shiqi’s voice was trembling, "Y-you’re scaring me..."
Watching as Chen Yan slowly raised his hand, Shen Shiqi’s teeth chattered, "I-is there a snake behind me, behind me, I, I..."
"Don’t move, don’t move, don’t move..." Chen Yan said in a low voice.
Shen Shiqi closed his eyes tightly, his face ashen.
Click!
The sound of a camera shutter.
Shen Shiqi suddenly opened his eyes, seeing that Chen Yan now had a phone pointed at him.
"You?!" Shen Shiqi’s expression changed abruptly.
Chen Yan quickly glanced at the photo on the screen: Shen Shiqi’s body was stiff and tense, head shrunk and eyes closed, with a face full of panic and fear.
"See, this shows real emotion. You always put on that ’I am stubborn and strong’ look, not cute at all," Chen Yan said, smiling as he put the phone away.
Shen Shiqi, embarrassed and furious, tried to snatch the phone, but Chen Yan was quicker, hiding it away. Then his body stiffened, taking a sharp breath, "This time, really don’t move!"
"You’re still trying to scare me!" Shen Shiqi shouted, "I..."
Whoosh!
A Finger Sword shot out, almost grazing Shen Shiqi’s ear.
Shen Shiqi’s body swayed as Chen Yan grabbed him and pulled him to his side.
Turning around, he saw in the grass behind him, a snake already split in two, writhing on the ground.
Shen Shiqi took a breath, his eyes full of terror, "This place, this place..."
"This is a valley, a place where the White Tiger’s Backwards Sha from the mountain stream flows. But there is no exit in this valley, so the Evil Qi has been accumulating here for a long time, forming a place of Yin Sha," Chen Yan said, curling his lip, "I dare say, you won’t find a better place for an Evil Cultivator’s training ground within hundreds of kilometers."
"You sure do dabble in a lot," Shen Shiqi couldn’t help but sigh.
"Can’t help it, I learned these things right from the start. These are the skills I use to make a living," Chen Yan shrugged.
Shen Shiqi looked at the dense grass in the valley...
"Why don’t we set it on fire and burn away the grass? I really don’t dare go further, who knows how many snakes are hidden in there."
"Setting a mountain on fire will land you in jail!" Chen Yan rolled his eyes, "Aren’t you supposed to have some positive energy?"
Nevertheless, he then took out a stack of "Six Yang Righteous Qi Talismans." With a shake, he tossed them into the air!
Chen Yan pointed with his hand, and the ten or so talisman papers instantly burst into flames!
After a burst of blazing Six Yang Qi erupted, Chen Yan quickly formed a Finger Technique with his hand.
The burning Six Yang Righteous Qi Talismans scattered swiftly in all directions!
