Chapter 37: You can’t do that! Why are you still patting the giant python’s head?

“What are you saying?! We can’t leave you behind!” Yang Fei shouted.

“And…” Song Yishi added, “I don’t think that giant python will let us escape.”

Following their gaze, the giant python swung its tail again.

With fierce wind and a tearing sound.

Are we really going to die here?!

Yang Fei thought.

Suddenly, the giant python stopped without warning.

Shi Yinghan coughed up blood and looked over suspiciously.

He didn’t think the giant python would suddenly show mercy.

After stopping for a moment, the giant python curled up and rolled over, its huge tail wildly swinging, causing rocks to fly everywhere.

Although they didn’t know what was happening, this was a good chance to escape.

“Find a place to hide now.” Shi Yinghan instructed.

They reacted quickly and found hiding places.

They hid and observed.

The giant python seemed to be in great pain; suddenly, a strange red light emanated from its abdomen.

“What the hell is that?” Yang Fei grinned.

No one bothered to answer him; they stared intently.

The red light in the giant python’s abdomen grew brighter and brighter; a smooth bulge suddenly appeared on its white belly.

The bulge grew larger, as if it was about to burst through the giant python’s skin.

Something was coming out!

As the bulge expanded, the giant python’s cries became more painful; its movements became more violent.

Until the giant python’s skin tore open from the inside, flesh flying, and even small pieces of flesh being torn apart.

A pink long sword, stained with blood, emerged; flames covered the sword; the flames were extremely bright and transparent; at a glance, one knew it wasn’t something ordinary people could use.

The aura of a Golden Core cultivator emanated.

Shi Yinghan’s heart trembled!

A pink sword, extremely transparent flames…

“Junior Sister…?”

“Junior Sister?! Could that be…?”

Everyone stared intently at the giant python’s wound.

The pink sword was deeply embedded in the ground; a slender, white hand rested on the hilt.

Ning Yue crawled out of the snake’s belly, frowning.

Her white dress was covered in blood; there were also inextinguishable flames on the bloodstains, burning endlessly.

Ning Yue looked at the bloodstains on her clothes with disgust.

She needed to find a place to change clothes later!

The girl whose body was engulfed in flames was undoubtedly Ning Yue!

The giant python beside her seemed to still be breathing, but they didn’t care about the danger anymore.

They rushed towards Ning Yue.

“Junior Sister!!!”

Hearing familiar voices, Ning Yue looked up

Shi Yinghan led the way; they rushed towards her.

Ning Yue was a little puzzled; when did her gentle and reserved Senior Brother become so enthusiastic?

Before she could figure it out, she was tightly embraced.

Ning Yue: …?

She quickly extinguished the flames on her body.

She was being held tightly; Ning Yue felt a little uncomfortable…

So she struggled in Shi Yinghan’s arms. “…Senior Brother, I’m covered in blood…”

Shi Yinghan’s voice sounded above her head; it was trembling slightly. “…It’s good you’re okay; it was my fault; I almost let you die…”

Ning Yue ignored the blood on her hands and patted Shi Yinghan’s back.

Small bloody handprints appeared on Shi Yinghan’s white clothes…

“I’m fine, Senior Brother; don’t look at me like this; I had a plan… Didn’t I just come out of the snake’s belly?”

She said it lightly, but upon closer inspection, it wasn’t as easy as she said.

Ning Yue was covered in blood, both hers and the giant python’s; Shi Yinghan had started treating her the moment he hugged her.

Her lips were slightly pale from blood loss.

Shi Yinghan poured spiritual energy into Ning Yue, feeling (heartbroken).

He stopped when her complexion improved.

Yang Fei breathed a sigh of relief. “I was scared, Junior Sister; I thought you were really gone, woo woo woo…”

Ning Yue tilted her head, a smug expression on her weak face.

“Don’t underestimate me; I won’t die so easily.”

Her pale face and words of comfort were heartbreaking.

Lu Qingyan’s dark eyelashes drooped, concealing the expression in her eyes; she gently touched Ning Yue’s head.

Jiang Yishen reached out and grabbed Ning Yue, worried that she still had unhealed injuries; he continuously released spiritual energy, enveloping Ning Yue.

Ning Yue pressed his hand. “Save some spiritual energy; I’m completely fine.”

Jiang Yishen’s dark eyes carefully examined Ning Yue; his eyes blinked, and a tear suddenly fell.

Ning Yue: “…”

The young man silently shed a tear.

Looking at Jiang Yishen’s downcast and tearful expression, it seemed she had done something terrible.

Ning Yue was shocked and blurted out, “…If you want to, keep sending spiritual energy! Oh, I’m so weak… Oh, I still have unhealed injuries!”

Jiang Yishen indeed lowered his head and continued to send spiritual energy.

Shi Yinghan: “…”

He remembered that he had completely healed Ning Yue’s injuries…

And… Junior Sister’s poor acting was so unconvincing!

You actually believed it!

Jiang Yishen said hoarsely, “…I thought you were dead.”

“I’m not dead!” Ning Yue quickly said. “I’m fine!”

Jiang Yishen ignored him. “…If I were a Golden Core cultivator, I could self-destruct…”

Golden Core cultivators could self-destruct; the power was terrifying.

But self-destruction meant death; the soul would shatter, and they would never be able to cultivate again.

It was a self-destructive method.

Ning Yue trembled. “…Don’t do that?”

The senior brothers and sisters: “…” Junior Brother is scary.

“I need to work harder,” Jiang Yishen’s gaze darkened as he stared at Ning Yue.

“…That way, even if I can’t defeat the enemy, I can self-destruct and take them with me.”

Ning Yue: “…”

So this is the real Xiao Jiang?!

Duan Huailin was silent for a moment, then stepped forward and pulled Jiang Yishen away.

He said to Ning Yue, “…Well done.”

Then he silently walked away.

Ning Yue: “…”

What? Was he treating comforting me as a task?

Yu Xiao walked forward with a smile and touched Ning Yue’s head.

“It’s good you’re safe; you scared Senior Sister; I can’t believe you crawled out of a Unity stage spirit beast’s belly.”

“Unity stage spirit beast?”

“Mm,” Yu Xiao pointed to the giant python, which was still breathing. “Unity stage; so fierce; we almost died.”

Ning Yue turned to look; she finally had a chance to observe it in the bright light.

The giant python was panting on the ground; its abdominal skin was torn, and there were burn marks.

Its large blue vertical pupils stared at Ning Yue without blinking.

Ning Yue somehow saw a hint of grievance in the giant python’s eyes.

She instinctively reached out and touched the giant python’s head…

Everyone: “…!!!!!”

How did they lose sight of her for a moment; this girl is causing trouble again!!!

They had all prepared their weapons and gathered spiritual energy.

Ready to grab Ning Yue and strike the giant python.

The giant python gently rubbed against Ning Yue’s palm…

…

Everyone: “…”

…Petrified.
