The Snail Princess and Her Benefactor

Ling Mi found that dark clouds were gathering rapidly in the forest and thunder and lightning were raging on the mountain. She knew that the mountain god had discovered that the "Qiankun Pagoda" had been stolen and would soon find this place based on the aura of the pagoda.

The petals of the flower were trembling with fear, and the honey was seeping out of the pistil. "Sister, let's go back to the Jinghe Water Palace. The mountain god will come soon. When we captured the fox demon just now, the Qiankun Tower was so powerful that it shook the world. Now that the fox demon has been captured, Young Master Yang is no longer in danger of death, and your kindness has been repaid. Let's go quickly. If the mountain god captures you, with your appearance, how can he easily let you go? He will rape you and humiliate you, and finally you will become a pill in his alchemy furnace."

Princess Huachao was not willing to listen to Lingmi's advice. She was only thinking about Master Yang in the thatched cottage. "Master Yang saved my life. Now he is in danger of death. How can I abandon him and escape for my own life? Lingmi, go back first. I will catch up with you later."

After saying that, he turned and ran towards the hut, leaving Ling Mi behind him calling out at the top of her lungs: "Sister, sister..."

Princess Hua Chao entered the thatched cottage and saw that the Yang family's house was bare, with only a broken bed covered with a tattered straw mat, and the painting of the lady hanging next to the bed.

On the broken bed, a skinny man with a dirty face and a head full of gray and withered hair lay quietly, without any signs of life, as if he was dead.

The princess ran over quickly, stretched out her hand to feel his breath, and there was still a faint breath coming in and out.

Ling Mi followed closely and exclaimed: "Oh! Is this sister dead? Look at his face, which is ashen and his lips are pale without a trace of blood. Since he is dead, we should leave quickly."

The Sixth Princess pulled up the young man who was like a puddle of mud, helped him sit on the bed and whispered, "Lingmi, help me straighten him up. I want to heal his wounds."

"Sister! He is already a dying corpse. You will seriously damage his vitality by doing this. Besides, the mountain god will be here soon. There is no time to heal his wounds. We should save his life first."

"If you are afraid, just run away first. Yang Shilin's life is at stake. How can I abandon him? I will definitely come to find you after I rescue him. Don't worry about me, just run for your life!"

The Sixth Princess held Yang Shilin with one hand and began to circulate spiritual energy with the other hand.

"Since my sister won't leave, I will accompany her to rescue Young Master Yang, and then we can leave together."

Ling Mi forced out the spiritual energy in her body to protect Yang Shilin. Princess Hua Chao used "Brilliant Colorful Clouds" to circulate the spiritual energy in her body back, flowing out from her palms and slowly entering the top of Yang Shilin's head.

Seeing Yang Shilin, who was once full of vigor, handsome and elegant, now turned into a living corpse, Princess Hua Chao felt a pain in her heart as if it was being cut. Tears rolled down her cheeks and her vision began to blur.

Seeing the princess crying like rain, Ling Mi wiped away her tears with flower petals: "Sister, don't cry. Move faster. Once we rescue Young Master Yang, we can leave as soon as possible."

"Okay! Help me hold it, I'll try to be quick."

The Sixth Princess no longer wasted her energy thinking about useless things. She increased her spiritual power, and a stronger "Dazzling Colorful Clouds" slowly came out.

Gradually, Yang Shilin's lips turned slightly red, and his gray and white eyebrows gradually turned dark. His still handsome eyes slowly opened, revealing a dull look, and he smiled foolishly like a three-year-old child: "Hehe, hehe..."

His bloodless lips were half open, with sticky saliva dripping from them. His slender, withered index finger of his right hand reached to his lips and gently bit them, making a squeaking sound.

Ling Mi was so shocked that she couldn't dodge: "Ah! This guy has turned into a fool!"

Princess Huachao turned Yang Shilin around, and when their eyes met, the gaze that once made her feel excited and happy now became dull and stupid, and his jade-like face, which was carefully carved, looked haggard.

The princess shed tears and stretched out her white jade hand to gently wipe the saliva from Master Yang's lips with a silk handkerchief.

"It's a pity that the fox demon sucked too much of his blood and energy. Now he can't recover as soon as possible. He needs to recuperate slowly before he can recover. You must not give him any more energy today, otherwise it will backfire and kill him."

The Sixth Princess asked around: "Yang Shilin has an old mother, I wonder how she is doing now."

Ling Mi got anxious when she heard this: "Sister, now that Yang Shilin's life has been saved, we should save our own lives as soon as possible. Why are you still looking for an old woman? Let's go!"

"That's Young Master Yang's mother, his only relative. Moreover, she is a life. How can we just ignore her?"

As he said this, he stood up and started searching in the one and a half thatched huts. When he came to the next half hut, he saw an old woman in ragged clothes lying on a bed made of rotten grass.

When I got closer, I found that it was just a dry skeleton without a trace of life.

"Sister, the old woman is dead, we can go now!" Ling Mi reminded hurriedly.

"Wait a little longer. I remember the fox demon said that he wanted to use the souls of Young Master Yang and his mother to refine the 'Mother and Son Linking Heart Pill'. The fox demon must have hidden the soul of Yang's mother somewhere. After Yang Shilin dies, he will gather the souls of mother and son and let me look for them."

Ling Mi shouted sternly, "Sister, how can you be so careless about your own safety? Look around this room to see if there is a place where a soul can hide! It must have been swallowed by the fox demon and turned into filth. You'd better leave!"

"No way. Let me look for it. If we can't find it, we'll leave."

The Sixth Princess used her spiritual power to search carefully in the house, and soon her eyes fell on the painting of a lady hanging on the head of the broken bed.

The enchanting and graceful lady was holding a flower basket, from which a faint black and purple ominous aura was emitted. The princess waved her jade wrist and summoned the old woman's soul.

He mobilized his spiritual power to force the soul into the old woman's body, and watched the old woman's heart begin to rise and fall slowly.

"Let's go quickly this time! Sister can't stay here any longer."

Princess Huachao looked around and her eyes fell on Yang Shilin lying on the broken bed: "Okay, let's go back to the Water Palace first. After the mountain god leaves, it won't be too late to come back and treat the young master."

Before he finished speaking, there was a loud gust of wind in the yard, thunder and lightning, and the small thatched cottage was filled with the howling of ghosts and wolves.

A sinister, murderous voice came down from midair: "My 'Qian Kun Tower' was stolen here, and that little thief must be hiding here. You must find him quickly. I will burn him in the alchemy furnace for 49 days. Only then can I relieve the hatred in my heart."

"Yes... our king is mighty!" The black cry was like a large group of big-mouthed crows, making people feel creepy.

Princess Hua Chao hurriedly used the "Golden Silk Green Dew Armor" to protect herself and Ling Mi, and hid inside the broken bed.

A group of goblins in black clothes and black faces broke into the hut, searched for a long time but couldn't find any spiritual energy, so they went out to report: "My king, there is no spiritual energy at all, only a stupid boy and a poor old woman."

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible! The tower thief must have gone into hiding. How could a stranger steal and activate the Qiankun Tower? Find him for me!"

"yes!……"

I saw a snake head shaped like a giant snake slowly stretched into the hut, wrapped up Yang Shilin with a "whoosh", then pulled him out of the hut, lifted him up high and threw him to the ground.

"Boom..." A dull sound shook the thatched hut.

A gloomy and terrifying voice was pressed into the hut: "Listen, you thief who stole the Soul Tower, you stole the Soul Tower for this living person. If you don't come out, I will use his life to sacrifice the humiliation of my 'Qiankun Tower' being stolen."
