"Why dispose of it?"

Chen Zhixing stared at Lii Shuang with wide eyes: "In this desolate place, could it be that you've truly set your sights on that scorpion-tailed woman, wanting to kill her husband and take her for yourself?"

Lii Shuang: "..."

The man feeling bitter silently picked up a broom beside him and went out the door, thinking he shouldn't have engaged in that conversation.

Seeing this, Chen Zhixing shook his head with a smile and continued to pick up a book titled [Scattered Combined Star Spell] and read it.

Practice is a matter of perseverance.

One read upstairs, while the other swept downstairs.

And so they spent the day.

The next morning, the scorpion dragon couple who had left earlier came back.

Only this time, they brought gifts.

A small white snake as thick as a little finger, looking very cute and tender, was still a Little Demon without opened intelligence.

Chen Zhixing received it with a smile, and brought out many pastries and Spirit Fruits to entertain them.

This time, the couple stayed until dusk before leaving.

Just before leaving, the scorpion-tailed lady stared at Chen Zhixing's face with an unusual gaze for a long time.

"Has she changed her target this time?" Lii Shuang standing behind Chen Zhixing murmured.

"No, she still has her eye on my purse. She only looked at me to leave a mark on me with a subtle trick." As he spoke, Chen Zhixing tapped his chin, causing a particle like a grain of light to fall from his jaw.

"What about that snake."

"Oh, you mean this?"

Looking at the little creature already dizzy between his fingers, Chen Zhixing said with a smile, "The mother of this little snake is a Nirvana Peak Snake Demon that occupied their stationed area, Bitter Water Pool. They probably want to use the power of that snake to get rid of me."

"You don't mind?" Lii Shuang asked with a frown.

"I mind. There aren't many people in this wilderness. If I kill them now, life would be so dull in the future."

Lii Shuang: "..."

"Uh, why are you looking at me like that? Forget it, killing is killing, after all, we've found new neighbors."

Saying this, Chen Zhixing gently pointed into the air.

"Cyan Pheasant."

The Immortal Sword Cyan Pheasant soared through the sky and rapidly returned. In less than three seconds, two souls had already been taken under the sword when it returned to its scabbard.

"The world is now short of two interesting people."

"Awoo!"

"Hmm? What's that sound?"

"It's me, it's me."

The Cyan Pheasant Sword Spirit began to circle around on top of Chen Zhixing's head.

"Did you break through again?"

"Ha! Ha! Ha!"

"No, this Sword Spirit is too silly, I can't let you out."

As he spoke, Chen Zhixing stuffed the Cyan Pheasant Sword back into the sword bridge.

"Hey? You... you you you...."

The flying sword returned to the bridge, and there was no further sound.

After a while.

With a clang, the Cyan Pheasant Sword broke free from the constraints of the sword scabbard, chattering nonstop in Chen Zhixing's ear.

Reading.

Practicing the sword.

Waiting for the little white snake to visit in the middle of the night.

...

At the witching hour.

The cold wind howled outside the small building, and heavy snowflakes fell from the sky.

In this quiet night, a giant white python over a hundred meters long had somehow coiled itself outside the small building.

Its lantern-sized eyes emitted a faint green light, watching the man reading inside through the window.

"When friends come from afar, is it not a delight?"

"Return my child to me."

"Please come in."

"You exterminate your Sea Demon, I cultivate my Tao Practice, as long as our paths don't cross. Give back my child!"

"It's snowing heavily outside; don't you feel cold, miss? I have a warm stove inside, which I'm sure you'll like."

"Give it back to me!!!"

Clang!

After a sword cry, the white snake outside was already frozen in place, the unsheathed Cyan Pheasant now pointing at the snake's brow.

Squeak.

The small building's door swung open, and Lii Shuang walked out carrying a red lantern.

"Miss, my young master invites you in."

The light in the white eyes had a tinge of red, but after hesitating for a while, she shrank her body and transformed into a tall female figure.

Lii Shuang nodded.

"Please."

When the woman walked up to the second floor, she saw her child being toyed with between the fingers of the man reading, causing the Snake Demon's pupils to flare red again.

"I've come, give my child back."

"Oh, just a moment."

Saying this, Chen Zhixing stood up, put away his book, walked to the woman's side, and in her astonished gaze, took her hand and placed the dizzy little white snake in her palm.

"I've returned it to you."

"..."

The Snake Demon's eyes flickered between red and green, momentarily unable to comprehend how retrieving her child could be so easy.

"Why are you still standing there? I've returned your child, I won't see you off."

Saying this, Chen Zhixing returned to his seat and picked up the jade mirror to continue reading.

As for the Nirvana Peak white snake behind him.

He didn't feel like eating snake meat today.

Who would have thought, even with his goodwill in releasing the Snake Demon, she didn't leave. Instead, she watched Chen Zhixing's back as he read and said, "What do you want?"

"I want you to keep your distance."

Upon hearing this, the Snake Demon silently turned and walked downstairs to leave.

...

Early the next morning.

A heavy snow had fallen last night, supposedly blocking the door.

Lii Shuang had already taken up a broom ready to sweep the snow, but upon stepping out of the wooden house, he found the cliff outside the wooden house remarkably clean, as if someone had already swept it before him.

The clean platform made Lii Shuang frown.

With all the snow swept away, what was he to do today?

Before Lii Shuang could figure it out, he saw the Snake Demon who had left with her child the day before, returning once again.
