If it were her past life, when her strength was still intact, she could have slaughtered batches of these Core Condensation realm demonic beasts as they came!
But now, she was only at the lowly Qi Refining stage.
A Core Condensation realm demonic beast was equivalent to a human cultivator at the Golden Core stage.
She simply couldn't deal with it.
Therefore, the moment she saw the giant snake lunge at her, Yuan Shu had already turned around and run for her life!
The giant snake was fast, but its massive size made it lack agility.
Although Yuan Shu's current cultivation level was low, her past movement techniques and combat skills remained.
The giant snake chased her all the way from the forest to this cave, finally cornering Yuan Shu in a nook.
It thought that this time Yuan Shu had nowhere to escape and was destined to become its food.
But unexpectedly, Yuan Shu whipped out a high-tier defensive artifact and activated a protective barrier.
The giant snake bit down, but the barrier didn't waver in the slightest.
Refusing to give up, it tried several more times, using all the strength it had since hatching, yet the barrier remained completely motionless!
Yuan Shu even calmly took out a chair and a small table, leisurely sipping tea and cracking melon seeds.
This half-angered the giant snake to death!
Especially when the giant snake turned around and saw the blood of its companion on Long Yunhui. It immediately vented all its resentment on him!
As a Golden Core cultivator and a Core Condensation beast, the difference in strength between the man and the snake was not significant.
However, Long Yunhui had just exhausted himself killing another giant snake, severely depleting his spiritual energy.
Facing this giant snake now, he was somewhat powerless. Several times, he was almost bitten on the arm!
Yuan Shu frowned as she watched. After a moment of thought, she took out a red longbow from the Divine Acacia Tree space.
Drawing the bowstring, she gathered spiritual energy at her fingertips, which automatically formed into a spiritual arrow, aiming at the giant snake.
The giant snake caught a glimpse of her actions but paid it no mind.
It could tell that Yuan Shu was merely at the Qi Refining stage. With such strength, even using a bow and arrow, she probably couldn't pierce its protective spiritual aura.
The only one truly worthy of its attention was Long Yunhui!
Moreover, Yuan Shu held the posture for a long time without shooting the arrow, making it look even more like a bluff.
It wasn't until the giant snake attacked Long Yunhui, who risked an arm injury to burst forth with spiritual energy and fiercely smash the beast into the cliff behind him.
At the critical moment of their standoff, a spiritual arrow pierced through the air, accurately striking its weak point at the seven-inch mark!
Boom!
A surge of dark green energy erupted from the giant snake, accompanied by a dark green poisonous mist.
Long Yunhui's expression changed slightly. He hurriedly held his breath and retreated rapidly, distancing himself from the giant snake.
The giant snake twisted madly but couldn't break free from the spiritual arrow pinning it to the stone wall. A moment later, its movements slowed down, and it gradually lost its breath.
Long Yunhui's tense expression finally relaxed. He stumbled backward, leaned against the stone wall, slowly slid down, and sat on the ground.
Junior Sister Yuan, it's over.
He waved at Yuan Shu, wanting to say something, but found his head feeling dizzy and heavy.
Yuan Shu, who had dispelled the barrier and was walking toward him, turned from one into two?
Long Yunhui shook his head and looked carefully again. Two Yuan Shus, with identical movements, crouched down in front of him.
Third Senior Brother, your arm is injured?
Yuan Shu didn't notice anything unusual. Seeing a large pool of blood on Long Yunhui's arm, she frowned.
She took a blood-stopping pill from the Divine Tree space and brought it to his lips.
Seeing Long Yunhui staring at her motionless with wide eyes, she frowned and pushed the medicine forward. Third Senior Brother? Take the medicine.
Her fingertips touched Long Yunhui's lips, and a familiar, subtle scent of pear blossoms drifted into his nose.
Long Yunhui's muddled brain finally had some reaction. He opened his mouth and swallowed the pill.
A soft tongue gently brushed against her finger pad, bringing a strange sense of wetness.
Yuan Shu looked up at him, wanting to say something, but seeing Long Yunhui's dazed expression and pale face, she assumed it was an accident and held back.
I'll give your wound a simple treatment.
As Yuan Shu spoke, she took out bandages and wound medicine from the Divine Tree space and carefully rolled up the sleeve on his arm.
The wound was likely sliced open by a snake fang. It was just a cut, without puncture marks, and the blood flowing from it was bright red.
It didn't look like he was poisoned as Yuan Shu had thought, which surprised her.
However, not being poisoned was a good thing.
Yuan Shu carefully cleaned the area around the wound, sprinkled medicinal powder on it, and then bandaged it.
Concentrating on her task, Yuan Shu didn't notice Long Yunhui's increasingly abnormal gaze fixed on her.
An evil fire surged from deep within his body, making Long Yunhui instinctively feel very uncomfortable.
The familiar scent of pear blossoms lingered at his nose, and a figure appeared in his mind.
A figure with a graceful posture, standing elegantly in the light and shadow, but with a veiled face, making it impossible to see clearly.
He tried to step forward to get a clearer look.
But for every step he took, the beauty took a step back.
No matter what, he couldn't see the other party's face clearly.
His body felt more and more uncomfortable, as if little bugs were crawling in his blood. He shifted his body in distress.
Suddenly, his arm was grabbed. Don't move!
The cool palm covering his burning arm seemed to give Long Yunhui a trace of wonderful comfort.
He quieted down, using his other arm to support himself as he slowly sat up, his unblinking eyes staring at the blurry figure in front of him.
Then, he slowly leaned closer, bit by bit.
By the time Yuan Shu realized something was wrong and turned her head, she was met with Long Yunhui's magnified handsome face.
Her lips gently brushed past his cheek, bringing a surging scent of pear blossoms.
Before Yuan Shu could react, Long Yunhui had already pulled her into a tight embrace!
!
Yuan Shu sharply turned her head to look at Long Yunhui, raising her voice to shout, Third Senior Brother!
Long Yunhui's eyes were hazy, and he didn't respond.
Holding her with both hands, he instinctively leaned toward her cheek.
His scorching hot body temperature transmitted through the thin fabric, feeling highly abnormal.
Yuan Shu's expression changed slightly, and at this moment, her nose caught the scent of an aphrodisiac poison!
This guy was poisoned with an aphrodisiac?
How could he have been poisoned with an aphrodisiac?
Could it be... that snake?
Yuan Shu had guessed earlier that the giant snake was venomous, but she didn't know what kind of venom.
She hadn't expected that while the wound sliced by the snake fang was not poisoned, his body had actually been infected!
Then it could only be the dark green poisonous mist that the giant snake had released right before its death!
Yuan Shu frowned and struggled a couple of times, but Long Yunhui hugged her even tighter.
The Golden Core stage had absolute power suppression over the Qi Refining stage.
Yuan Shu was simply no match for him!
And for the currently burning hot Long Yunhui, the cool aura on Yuan Shu's body, along with that faint scent of pear blossoms, held a fatal temptation.
Long Yunhui greedily leaned closer to Yuan Shu.
His fiery lips moved slowly up from her shoulder, landing on her neck and cheek, instinctively seeking her lips.
Yuan Shu dodged a couple of times, but Long Yunhui held her head straight and lowered his head to kiss her!
The familiar primal Yang instantly triggered the memories of the Divine Acacia Tree within Yuan Shu's body.
Almost instantly, Yuan Shu's body trembled slightly as he pried open her lips.
