Sister, I don't want to be a furnace anymore. I'm about to become an immortal.

Chapter 29: Xiao Zi

Xiao Yichen kept rubbing his body, trying to get rid of the little monster on his body, but the little monster went along his body and into his clothes.

"Ah......" Xiao Yichen screamed. The thing he feared most in his life was snakes. Now this snake actually got into his clothes in the way he feared the most and kept swimming around him. His heart couldn't take it anymore. His eyes rolled back and he fainted from fright.

Not long after he fell to the ground, a small purple snake crawled out from his chest, its pink tongue moving in and out in the air. It swam to Xiao Yichen's dantian and rubbed its head against his dantian, as if trying to drill into it. If Xiao Yichen woke up now, he would probably faint from fright again.

As if realizing it couldn't get in, the little snake crawled into his clothes again, came to his belly, coiled up, and slowly rested.

…………

…………

Time passed and it was the second day of their release.

Xiao Yichen slowly stood up. The sky was still dark and the sun had not risen yet. He woke up from the shock and patted his head. He could not remember what had just happened. Everything seemed like a dream.

Suddenly, his peripheral vision caught sight of the eggshell beside him, and memories immediately flooded into his mind. He immediately stood up and touched his chest to his ankles, but found no trace of the snake. He breathed a sigh of relief, but felt a little short of breath. He didn't feel it when he was nervous just now, but now that he relaxed, he felt like something was wrapped around his neck.

His hand touched it unconsciously, and the next moment, he was stunned on the spot, his whole body cold. At this time, he came from a hissing sound beside his ear, and his face felt a little itchy. He turned his neck slowly with stiffness, and found a snake's tongue constantly moving in and out beside his face.

His face turned pale with fright in an instant, but fortunately he did not faint this time. He quietly moved his hand to the snake's head, wanting to strangle it, but before he could do anything, the little purple snake coiled around his hand.

There was another round of jumping up and down, swinging his arms and twisting his waist. When he was too tired to continue, the other party still wrapped his wrist tightly, circle after circle, as if he was wearing several purple bracelets.

Xiao Yichen suppressed his inner fear and stopped moving. He slowly looked at the little snake on his wrist. At this moment, it stared at Xiao Yichen with its big eyes, and still spit out its tongue from its mouth.

After confirming that the other party would not suddenly bite him, he slowly reached up with his other hand and gently touched the other party's little head. The little snake naturally climbed onto his other hand.

"Huh... Fortunately, it doesn't bite." He let out a long breath and then carefully observed the little guy crawling between his hands.

Its body is about as thick as a little finger and half a meter long. Under the moonlight, it emits a dreamy purple halo, which is very beautiful. Its scales are small and delicate, and each piece is like a carefully carved amethyst, which looks extraordinary. The pair of crystal clear purple eyes on its head are as beautiful as gems. Its mouth is slightly open, revealing two sharp teeth, and its pink tongue keeps stretching out and retracting.

Xiao Yichen was a little curious. Even if those monsters were not tigers, they still had four legs. He would never have thought that a snake would hatch from their eggs. Was it the tiger that cheated, or the snake that cheated?

Slowly, after making sure that the other party would not hurt him, Xiao Yichen was no longer afraid. He walked to the pile of broken shells and collected them all.

"These eggshells are good things. They are very useful."

Just as he was collecting the eggshells on the ground, the little snake came around his neck, its little head hanging in front of his eyes, spitting out its tongue. He was a little annoyed and pushed the little snake's head aside, but as soon as he moved it away, its little head returned to its original position and continued to stare at Xiao Yichen.

"What are you going to do?" he asked helplessly. The little snake seemed to understand and swam slowly towards him, finally stopping in front of his waist. Its little purple head kept rubbing against his belly, and then it stared at Xiao Yichen.

"?? Are you hungry?" he asked uncertainly.

Hearing this, the little snake actually nodded, which stumped Xiao Yichen. He really didn't know what to feed it. When the little snake saw him sit down, it anxiously bit his disciple's belly. Seeing this, Xiao Yichen immediately understood.

"This little guy was able to break out of the shell with the help of the energy in my body. Could it be that he needs to eat that energy?" Thinking of this, he stretched out his finger, and bursts of white light emerged from it, which was very conspicuous in the dark night.

The moment the white light appeared, the little snake immediately swam towards his fingers, finally wrapped around his hand, gently bit his fingers with its mouth, and continuously sucked the energy from them.

"I have only recovered a small part of the energy in my body. I don't know if it is enough for this little guy to absorb." Xiao Yichen thought to himself. Fortunately, after a while, the little snake stopped sucking, climbed onto his shoulder, coiled up, closed its eyes and began to rest.

He roughly sensed the remaining energy in his body and said with some relief, "It probably sucked away one-tenth of my energy at once. Fortunately, it's not like before, where it sucked me dry. It must be because it needs to break out of the shell. Now that it's born, it doesn't need so much energy. Otherwise, I really wouldn't be able to feed this little guy."

He glanced at the little snake on his shoulder and thought of Xiaobai, Xiaohua and Dahuang who were still in the back mountain of Meiyu Gate. He tapped the little snake's head lightly with his finger and said, "I'll call you Xiaozi from now on." Xiaozi seemed to understand. He raised his head and rubbed it on his face, then shrank back and continued to sleep.

Seeing this, Xiao Yichen didn't disturb them anymore. He just slept after eating, which was the life a normal creature should have. He picked up all the broken shells on the ground and ran quickly towards the place where Liu Sha and the others were before.

When they returned to where Liu Sha and his group were resting, the sun had not yet risen, and except for one person who was on night watch, the rest of them had gone to bed early.

He grabbed a stone on the ground next to him, transferred a bit of energy to it, and then controlled the stone to quietly come to the grass opposite, shaking it continuously in the grass. The weeds on the ground swayed continuously, which soon attracted the attention of the night watchman. He slowly stood up and quietly walked towards that location.

Seeing the other party leave, he poured his energy into the pile of eggshells and controlled them to slowly float towards the sleeping people. Fortunately, he did not wake them up. Except for Liu Sha and the person who was led away, he put a piece of eggshell fragment in the pocket of each of the others. As for the remaining eggshells, after he kept one, the rest were all under his control and quietly burrowed into the soil. As long as they were not thrown away, they would basically not be found.

After doing all this, he carefully left this place and flew towards the monster's nest. When he arrived at the destination, he saw that all the monsters were still sleeping, and he was furious.

"Good guys, your house has been robbed for such a long time and you haven't noticed it yet. Let me remind you." After saying that, he controlled the last piece of eggshell and smashed it towards the head of the nearest monster.

The other party woke up immediately and saw the eggshell floating in the sky. It was stunned for a moment. When it wanted to stretch out its claws to touch it, the eggshell flew towards Liu Sha and the others. Then the monster roared and chased after the eggshell.

The sound woke up most of the monsters, but they didn't know what happened for a moment, so they could only blindly follow the monster in front that was attracted by the eggshell.

At this moment, Xiao Yichen was hiding in the woods in the distance and controlling the eggshell. He could now use energy to control objects to fly two kilometers. With such a long distance, he was not afraid of being discovered at all. He just needed to catch up when they were about to reach the maximum distance. After about ten minutes, he finally led this group of monsters to the vicinity of Liu Sha and the others.

After Xiao Yichen removed the energy, the eggshell that attracted the monster fell on the ground in front of the monster. It looked at the eggshell on the ground, walked forward and sniffed it, but the expected rage did not appear. Under Xiao Yichen's puzzled gaze, the group of monsters slowly retreated back the way they came.

"? Huh? Xiao Zi, aren't you their biological child?" He shrugged and found that Xiao Zi on his shoulder was still asleep. He sighed softly, then controlled a stone and flew towards the center of the group of monsters, smashing it hard on the head of a monster. The monster that was hit let out an angry roar, turned its head and looked around, and happened to see a fire that was still burning not far away. It roared again and rushed in that direction. The sound instantly woke up Liu Sha and others who were not far away.

"What happened?" Liu Sha woke up from his sleep. Before he could figure out what was going on, he saw a group of magical beasts running towards them not far away.

The rest of the people had been awakened long ago. They cheered up and prepared to face the attack of these beasts. As for escaping, they didn't even think about it. Each of them was a cultivator at least at the Qi training stage. Although they could not use spiritual energy, they were not afraid of these monsters with just their physical bodies.

"Master Liu, you continue to rest. We'll go and slaughter those beasts. We'll catch the tenderest one for you to feast on."

Hearing this, Liu Sha found a stone, slowly sat down and lay on it, looking ahead with a playful look on his face. What he didn't know was that behind him, Xiao Yichen took advantage of the fact that the eight people were attracted away by the monsters and quietly moved to a place not far behind him.
