537 After Beating The Young One, The Old One Came
If not for the fact that there were still 50 years to go, she would have left the Huang family long ago. Once an agreement was made, if she quit halfway, she would suffer a backlash of cultivation.
At night, Hu Qiushui went out. She sniffed. Even if the smell was very faint, it did not stop her from tracking down her enemy.
After spending some time, she found where the smell came from. When she arrived at the inn, she went straight to a room.
Liu Sanniang was asleep. When Liu Yuanyuan sensed Hu Qiushui’s aura, she immediately cast a barrier to protect Liu Sanniang. She stood in front of the bed and looked at Hu Qiushui. “Why? Did your child complain to you? She can’t beat me, so she asked you to come to fight me.”
The cold mockery in Liu Yuanyuan’s tone did not make Hu Qiushui angry. She looked at Liu Yuanyuan coldly and narrowed her eyes. “I was wondering how you could hurt my daughter. It turns out that you absorbed the power that didn’t belong to you.”
Liu Yuanyuan had the aura of a flood dragon. The snake clan was a little different. They could, in a sense, eat their own clansmen to strengthen themselves. Usually, the snakes wouldn’t do such an obnoxious thing, but when one was about to die from the tribulation, the other snakes wouldn’t hesitate to absorb their power.
Liu Yuanyuan was originally a little snake with about a hundred years of cultivation and couldn’t possibly hurt Hu Qiushui’s daughter, but it was a different case if Liu Yuanyuan devoured the flood dragon’s cultivation.
Liu Yuanyuan’s pupils turned vertical. “Hmph, you’re much smarter than your daughter. Since you’re here to seek revenge, let’s not waste time.”
Liu Yuanyuan immediately attacked Hu Qiushui. Hu Qiushui’s eyes darkened. She lashed out and grabbed Liu Yuanyuan with her sharp claws.
Liu Yuanyuan gritted her teeth, but when the sharp claws pierced through her scales, she could not help but cry out in pain.
Hu Qiushui’s expression was cold. “You vicious snake, I’ll take out your bone today and use your skin to make a belt for my daughter.”
Liu Yuanyuan gave Hu Qiushui a tail slap and wrapped it tightly around Hu Qiushui. She was determined not to let Hu Qiushui have a good time even if she was not her match.
“Did you get my permission to take out her bone?”
Liu Sanniang’s cold voice was heard. The barrier cast by Liu Yuanyuan had already been shattered, so she naturally woke up.
Liu Yuanyuan was a little worried. “Venerable Liu, this is an old fox that’s almost a thousand years old.”
Liu Sanniang walked towards Hu Qiushui. Hu Qiushui extended a fox claw. “Snake, it seems that you don’t have good taste. You chose an ordinary person to be your Venerable. I can deal with her with one hand.”
Hu Qiushui did not sense any spiritual energy from Liu Sanniang. She thought that Liu Sanniang was no different from an ordinary person.
Liu Sanniang reached out and grabbed Hu Qiushui’s fox claws. The sharp fox claws turned into a hand.
Hu Qiushui was stunned and immediately retracted her hand. Liu Sanniang looked at Hu Qiushui as if she could read her mind at a glance.
Liu Sanniang slowly said, “You will face a life and death crisis soon. If you can’t tide over it, you will die. Nearly a thousand years of cultivation will be gone.”
Hu Qiushui retracted her hand and pushed Liu Yuanyuan away. She looked at Liu Sanniang fiercely. “You’re not an ordinary person.”
When Liu Sanniang said this, she was not joking. There were many extraordinary people among mortals who could see through the future and the past, but Hu Qiushui did not expect such an ordinary woman to be able to tell her fate at a glance.
Liu Sanniang looked at Hu Qiushui intently. Her face was covered in thick black smoke, and only a little green vitality was visible. When her vitality was extinguished, she would die.
Liu Yuanyuan took a deep breath and looked at Hu Qiushui with a smile. “It turns out that you’re going to die. Now I understand why you want to protect your daughter so much.”
Hu Qiushui glared at Liu Yuanyuan. “You arrogant worm, it won’t take long for me to take your life.”
What Liu Yuanyuan said undoubtedly touched her sore spot and she could not tolerate this little worm baring its fangs and brandishing its claws in front of her.
Liu Yuanyuan was not afraid of Hu Qiushui’s threat. “Do you know who my Venerable is? If you want to live, you have to beg her.”
Hu Qiushui was furious. She looked at Liu Sanniang. “What else did you see?”
Liu Sanniang looked at Hu Qiushui. “Give me your hand.”
She had never tried to read a demon’s mind, and it was even harder than a human. A demon who had cultivated for hundreds of years had a mental defense that was difficult to break, and their fate was unpredictable.
Hu Qiushui looked at Liu Sanniang. “What are you doing?”
Hu Qiushui sized up Liu Sanniang carefully. She had no spiritual power at all. What could Liu Sanniang use to deal with her?
Hu Qiushui frowned. “As far as I know, all the cultivators in the world have a strong Dao heart. Why don’t you have a Dao heart?”
Liu Sanniang looked at Hu Qiushui and said calmly, “I don’t need it. I’m the chosen one and the True Buddha when I enter the Dao.”
Hu Qiushui felt that Liu Sanniang was bragging. She did not let go of any expression on Liu Sanniang’s face. When people lied, they would definitely feel guilty. The eyes were the window to the soul. Even if the body could remain calm, the eyes could not.
However, she didn’t notice any guilt on Liu Sanniang’s face.
Hu Qiushui stared at Liu Sanniang. “Do I still have a chance to live?”
Liu Sanniang looked at Hu Qiushui and nodded. “Yes.”
There was still a trace of vitality in the thick black smoke. Unless the black smoke was removed, her vitality would be devoured sooner or later.
After hearing Liu Sanniang’s words, Hu Qiushui sneered. “Liar, I’ll let this little worm off today, but I’ll find a chance to take out her snake bone.”
Hu Qiushui’s eyes darkened. Her figure flashed and disappeared from the room.
Liu Yuanyuan shook her head. “The fox is paranoid and courting death.”
It was impossible for Hu Qiushui to believe Liu Sanniang immediately, but sometimes, being paranoid would lead to death.
Liu Sanniang walked to Liu Yuanyuan’s side and grabbed her hand. “Are you alright? Don’t be so impulsive next time. I don’t need you to protect me with your life.”
