Chapter 706 A Terrifying Deal
"Ah, I was in such a rush that I forgot to adjust my landing direction, sorry."
Shadow Snake slowly crawled up from the ground, then sat down on the grass without any regard for appearances. He looked up at Ye Nanxiao, who was hanging upside down in a tree not far away. Ye Nanxiao was hanging like a salted fish, with his hands hanging down, and a few leaves and branches still clinging to his beautiful hair, making him look indescribably comical.
"Pfft!" Shadow Snake couldn't help but laugh.
"Can't you get down first before you talk?"
Ye Nanxiao glanced down at his stuck thigh, then said nonchalantly, "You should know that the brain takes a lot of energy to function. Sometimes, insufficient blood supply to the brain can cause your IQ to drop."
Shadow Snake stood up from the ground, reaching out to lift Ye Nanxiao down as he said, "So you're recharging your brain now."
Ye Nanxiao nodded with a look of satisfaction. "I didn't expect you to understand this principle that most people don't even notice!"
Shadow Snake lifted Ye Nanxiao down and placed him on the ground. Watching the salted fish slowly crawl up, Shadow Snake reached out and helped him remove all the leaves and branches from his hair.
"Where are we?" Shadow Snake asked. The surrounding scenery was obscured by lush, verdant trees, making it impossible to discern their location.
"I don't know. I left in a hurry, and I was only focused on finding a direction opposite to the vortex to escape. I didn't consume much of my soul power, so I guess I should still be in the Mingdou Mountains," Ye Nanxiao said, patting the dust off his body.
"At least I survived." Shadow Serpent's face was somewhat pale. After suddenly relaxing, the backlash from her soul skill suddenly intensified, making it difficult for her to even stand.
Ye Nanxiao noticed something was wrong with Shadow Serpent. He stepped forward, two icy hands sprouting from his back, and placed them on Shadow Serpent's shoulders, asking, "Have you suffered a backlash?"
Shadow Snake nodded slightly and responded softly.
Ye Nanxiao examined it carefully for a while, using his soul power to sense the Shadow Serpent's condition through his Frosty Hand. "Relax, I can help you."
Shadow Snake lightly bit her red lips, releasing her body's defense mechanisms. She felt a warm power slowly entering her body, flowing through her meridians. That warmth fascinated her.
A thought suddenly arose in Shadow Snake's mind: How long has it been since I've basked in the sun?
"His mental strength is damaged, but fortunately his mental sea is undamaged." Ye Nanxiao quickly assessed the injuries on the Shadow Serpent. With a flick of his right hand, a pure white flower with eight petals and three buds appeared in his palm.
"Refine and consume this thing, then use your spiritual power to absorb it. I will guide you."
As Ye Nanxiao spoke, he waved his hand and dozens of ice mirrors rose up, enveloping the two of them.
Shadow Serpent looked at the pure white flower in Ye Nanxiao's hand, gave him a deep look, then took it, used his soul power to refine the flower into a semi-transparent liquid, swallowed it, and sat cross-legged on the spot.
A pure and cool energy suddenly rose from his lower abdomen, slowly flowed through his chest, and gradually got stuck in his throat.
"Calm down and guide this energy upwards." Ye Nanxiao separated a wisp of his spiritual power and sent it into the Shadow Serpent's body, guiding the latter's spiritual power to receive the power of the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid.
Ordinary spiritual herbs are refined and absorbed in the abdomen, and then gradually driven to the brain by the circulation of soul power through the meridians of the body, thus replenishing the sea of spirit.
However, this method takes a long time and requires seclusion to absorb.
When Ye Nanxiao was studying at Shrek Academy, under Elder Xuan's intense training, he independently discovered a route for energy absorption that led directly to the brain.
As their spiritual energies collided, Shadow Snake suddenly sensed Ye Nanxiao's spiritual world—a world after the snow had cleared.
A moment of disorientation caused the power of the Eight-Petaled Fairy Orchid to pause, and the mental backlash that the Shadow Serpent had previously suppressed immediately surged out.
"What are you spacing out for, little girl?" Ye Nanxiao couldn't help but frown slightly. He channeled his spiritual power to use the power of the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid to repair the damage to Shadow Serpent's mind.
"I'm sorry." Shadow Snake quickly apologized. That warm world was the world she had once envied, but it also reminded her of some unpleasant memories, those memories buried deep in her mind that she never intended to face in this lifetime.
The Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid is a top-grade herb among spiritual herbs, and it quickly healed the backlash from the Shadow Serpent's spirit.
Feeling that the backlash from the Shadow Serpent had been almost completely healed, Ye Nanxiao nodded in satisfaction. Sure enough, Elder Xuan's inventory was full of top-quality items.
"Thank you so much, brother-in-law! I can never repay your life-saving grace!" Shadow Snake took a deep breath, his usual smile returning to his face, and bowed deeply to Ye Nanxiao.
"If I have nothing to repay you with, should I offer myself to you?" Ye Nanxiao joked, as he suddenly recalled some long-forgotten memories.
A life-saving grace can elicit two different responses, one for someone who is handsome and the other for someone whose handsomeness is less obvious.
A stunningly handsome fox like him should definitely be the first answer, right?
Shadow Snake stared at Ye Nanxiao with her watery eyes for a while, then suddenly laughed and said, "Brother-in-law, have you taken a fancy to me? Do you want me to repay you with my body?"
"Hmm, that's a good idea, but I'd rather hear that phrase that's considered the highest praise for a man!" Ye Nanxiao grinned.
Men! They're boys until they die!
Suddenly, Ying She leaped across the ground in a few strides and appeared before Ye Nanxiao. Her watery eyes reflected Ye Nanxiao's face, and her red lips parted slightly. "My benefactor has shown me such great kindness that I have no way to repay him. I only wish to offer myself to him. Is that alright?"
"So refreshing!" Ye Nanxiao closed his eyes in enjoyment; this was one of the highest compliments for a man!
As expected, this fox is handsome!
"Hearing your answer is enough. For an eighteen-year-old like me, that's the highest praise! As for offering yourself in return, don't take words too seriously. Just be yourself!" Ye Nanxiao said with a faint smile.
Shadow Snake stared intently at Ye Nanxiao. The boss's assessment of him was indeed correct. One moment he was as mature as an old monster who had lived for many years, mature and steady, and the next he was like a child who had not grown up, childish and ridiculous.
However, perhaps this is the reason why the eldest sister's husband was able to win the eldest sister's favor?
Just as Ye Nanxiao was getting ready to set off and find out where he was as soon as possible, he suddenly felt a warm breath on his face, followed by a soft, sticky touch.
"As the saying goes, a promise is a promise, you can't take it back once you've said it, brother-in-law," Shadow Snake said with a smile.
Ye Nanxiao touched his face, glanced at Ying She, and thought to himself, "Luckily, this girl didn't put on lipstick, otherwise I'd have to kneel down again when we get back."
Just then, a few snowflakes fell from the sky, landing on Ye Nanxiao's head and quietly melting in.
Xiao Ye No. 2's memories immediately began to play out in Ye Nanxiao's mental sea.
Shadow Serpent took a few steps, holding a communication soul tool in his hand, trying to contact Shadow Hound. Apart from the faint electrical sound of the communication soul tool, all he could hear was the sound of his own footsteps, as if someone else's footsteps were missing.
"Brother-in-law?" Shadow Snake noticed something was wrong and turned around.
Ye Nanxiao stood motionless, like a statue. His face, which had been smiling warmly just moments before, was now clouded with gloom, so dark it seemed as if water could drip from it.
"Brother-in-law!" Shadow Snake instantly realized something was wrong, a forearm-length hand cannon appeared in his hand, and his snake eyes looked around warily.
The latest novel is first published here!
In the tense atmosphere, time seemed to flow exceptionally slowly.
Just as Shadow Serpent slowly walked up to Ye Nanxiao, a hoarse voice rang out.
"I'm fine, let's go," Ye Nanxiao said slowly.
"What happened?" Shadow Snake asked in confusion. Ye Nanxiao's sudden change in attitude meant that he must have suddenly found out something!
"Does Orange know about the seven border cities of the Sun Moon Empire?" Ye Nanxiao asked.
He received the memories transmitted back by Xiao Ye No. 2.
With the power of the Frozen Flower, Xiao Ye No. 2 managed to hold off Xu Tianyuan for a considerable amount of time, not only buying time for the two of them but also delaying the arrival of Xu Tianyuan's allies.
Four members of the Holy Spirit Cult! They are Xu Tianyuan's allies!
Under the siege of five Title Douluos, Xiao Ye No. 2 exhausted all his strength and suicidally unleashed two peerless sword strikes, taking away a Holy Spirit Cult elder and dozens of soul masters from the Imperial Dragon Soul Master Corps.
What angered Ye Nanxiao was not the annihilation of Little Ye No. 2, but the words spoken by the Holy Spirit Cult's worshippers during the battle.
When the Holy Spirit Cult's retainers appeared, Xu Tianyuan complained a few times about "why is it so slow," but the Holy Spirit Cult's retainers' replies ignited endless anger in Ye Nanxiao's heart.
The Holy Spirit Church's response was, "It will take a long time to collect the vengeful spirits of your seven border cities, and we can only send a few of them to help."
Collecting vengeful spirits?
It is only when a person's soul is captured by the Holy Spirit Cult after death that it becomes a vengeful spirit.
How many people died in the vengeful spirits of those seven cities?
The world of Douluo is vast and rich in resources. The scale of the houses where the residents live far exceeds that of Blue Star in Ye Nanxiao's memory. Ordinary people live in two small bungalows with a small courtyard.
The aristocratic families were even more extravagant, able to occupy a piece of land the size of a finger on a map of a city with a scale of two kilometers, or even larger.
Based on this calculation, the population of a medium-sized city, including ordinary people and noble families, is approximately 100,000. In a large city, the number of noble families would be three times that, with a total population of 300,000.
Seven cities were attacked by hungry wolves.
Shadow Snake's pupils contracted slightly as he asked, "Did the boss tell you?"
Ye Nanxiao shook his head slightly. It seemed that Ju Zi knew about this matter and probably already had a plan.
As expected, Shadow Snake's next reply confirmed Ye Nanxiao's guess: "This was an order issued by that person. It was a deal. By the time the boss found out, it was too late. Even though we secretly intervened regardless of the cost, we only managed to save two cities."
"Is there any hope for the other cities?" Ye Nanxiao asked, his eyes lowered.
Shadow Snake remained silent, his right hand nervously gripping his left elbow.
"I understand." The icy hand behind Ye Nanxiao embraced the Shadow Serpent, and a piece of floating ice condensed beneath their feet, lifting them into the air.
"The plan has been slightly altered, the visit is canceled, I'm going to kick down their door."
