Chapter 51 The Female Lead's Luck
"Strange, why is Gu Yufei here alone? None of her accomplices are here. This is unusual!" Gu Shihan said, looking around.

"Something seems strange. Could it be that the people we need to save are those people? And where are they?"

"I don't know, Xingbai. Go check it out and help if there's any danger. I'll keep an eye on Gu Yufei here and see what she's up to."

Xingbai nodded, then vanished in a flash of light. A moment later, she sent a message: "Hanhan, I found eleven unconscious people in a cave. What should I do?"

"Xingbai, check if they have any Bewitching Shadows on them?"

"Yes, all eleven of them have the allure of the Bewitching Shadow. I'll remove it for them, how about that?"

“Okay! Although it’s a bit close to Gu Yufei, and the risk is a bit high, we must start by removing the alluring shadow to save her, otherwise it will be a waste of time! Xingbai, you decide for yourself. Gu Yufei has made a move on my end.”

Gu Shihan cut off the telepathic communication and kept a close eye on Gu Yufei. She saw Gu Yufei sitting cross-legged on the ground, with the large head of the white snake standing on the lake surface.

"Big White, what do you think of my suggestion? What conditions can you set? Let's discuss it." Gu Yufei said patiently.

She faced off against the white snake for a long time, but did not sense any killing intent from it, so she felt a little relieved.

What she didn't know was the inner turmoil of the giant white snake opposite her. There was delicious food right in front of it, but it dared not take a bite because it sensed danger, a danger that seemed to be coming from above.

It goes without saying who is above its head; this person is protected by heaven and is not someone the animal can prey on, but the animal is too hungry.

For a long time, it could only cower in a corner of the frozen lake, relying on the boss to give it a meal when things were going well, and occasionally offering its essence blood for the boss's cultivation. It was a blood person raised by the boss, no! It was a blood snake!
Today, the boss fought a fierce battle with the Ice Phoenix, which frightened it so much that it dared not show its face at all, fearing that the boss would make it fight. In order to reduce its presence, it had no interest in exploring the situation.

Because of this, it didn't notice the little yellow bird behind it, and thus profited handsomely, making a fortune.

When it emerged again, the boss's imposing aura was gone, and its cave had mysteriously disappeared. As it was looking around, a small insect appeared by the lake, an insect that looked delicious.

The white snake was conflicted. Although it possessed intelligence, it was not very clever due to the long-term loss of its essence and blood, and it could not see through Gu Yufei's thoughts.

Gu Shihan watched Gu Yufei and the white snake's actions from a distance, feeling speechless, and looked up at the sky.

The distance between the person and the snake grew closer and closer. Of course, it was the white snake that was involuntarily moving closer. Although it tried its best to resist, its body seemed to be beyond its control, and it was getting closer and closer to Gu Yufei.

As expected of a person of good fortune, the Ice Phoenix was replaced with a giant white snake, which is obviously much stronger than ordinary demonic beasts.

"Sigh! Heavenly Dao, how can you be so careless? Since you've already decided on her as the female lead, why are you asking me to weaken her luck? This is still a dead mission, I really don't know what kind of trick you're playing?!"

Gu Shihan was muttering to herself when Xingbai's message came over: "Hanhan, all eleven unconscious people have the Enchantress Shadow on them. I'm going to remove it right away. Be careful over there!"

"No problem!" Gu Shi had barely finished speaking when Gu Yufei trembled violently, coughed up a mouthful of blood, and became weak and listless.

It was such a coincidence that Gu Yufei's mouthful of blood landed right on the head of the giant white snake, and a contract light flashed, indicating that it had recognized her as its master.
"Holy crap! It can be that easy?"

Not only was Gu Shihan shocked, but Gu Yufei was also shocked. She never expected to recognize a demon beast with a cultivation level comparable to the late Golden Core stage as her master.

The contract was successful, and her cultivation level directly advanced from the mid-Foundation Establishment stage to the peak of the late-Foundation Establishment stage, just one step away from the Great Perfection stage. "Haha~~~ That's great! Atai, don't you think I'm incredibly lucky? I even got a contracted beast while spitting blood."

Even the soul of Atai was shocked by Gu Yufei's luck.

Gu Yufei looked at the drooping white snake and said with some dissatisfaction, "White snake! What's wrong with you? It's your honor to acknowledge me, Gu Yufei, as your master. We'll be eating and drinking well together from now on. Why aren't you happy? What's with this deadpan look?"

"Master, my name isn't Great White Snake. I was destined to transform into a dragon, but my body has suffered too much damage, causing me to degenerate and take on the appearance of a snake. I'm not unhappy; it's just that my body is weak!" Great White Snake said aggrievedly.

"It's not best if it's not the Great White Snake, but of course, it would be even better if it transformed into a dragon. Tell me, what do you need to nourish your body, which is deficient in nutrients?"

"Master, the flesh and blood of cultivators are the best tonic. Master, can you lure the cultivators here?" The great white snake lay paralyzed in the lake, refusing to come ashore.

"Big white snake, are you going to eat people?!" Gu Yufei asked, stunned.

“Master, I am not called the Great White Snake, I have a name, Bai Se!” the Great White Snake Bai Se corrected.

"Alright! Bai Se, you still haven't answered me. How many people do you need to eat to recover?" Gu Yufei frowned and pondered, thinking about how to bring the people over.

“Master! Considering that at least ten people need to recover, and that they will need the flesh and blood of cultivators to grow in the future, other things are not impossible, but that would be too slow. Only the flesh and blood of cultivators is the most delicious and nourishing!” Bai Se Snake stared at Gu Yufei.

Bai Se has become much smarter this time. In fact, they can also cultivate spiritual herbs, and there's no difference between the inner core and flesh of demonic beasts.

However, it had eaten a cultivator a while ago and enjoyed the delicious food, and had been thinking about it ever since, so it brought it up now. Actually, it didn't have much hope.

Gu Yufei pondered for a few moments before asking, "Bai Se, with enough cultivator flesh and blood, will your strength increase significantly?"

Bai Se was overjoyed and hurriedly nodded the big snake's head, "There's hope!" It felt that happiness had come too quickly.

On the other side, Xingbai removed the alluring shadows from the eleven people, and they slowly woke up.

"What happened? How did we end up fainting here? Yufei! Yufei is missing! What do we do?" a male cultivator exclaimed in panic.

"Don't worry! Your Yufei has encountered a great opportunity!" Xingbai said invisibly.

"Who?! Come out! Stop playing tricks! Did you do something to Yufei?!"

"Come out! What are you cowering for? Come out! Hand over Yufei, or we won't be polite!"

"........."

The crowd was filled with righteous indignation, glaring angrily at the invisible Xingbai, as if they would fight to the death if they couldn't see Gu Yufei.

"Hanhan, these people are all idiots, what should we do? Why should we save them if they want to die?" Xingbai was so angry that she wanted to jump up.
