The widow becomes a fairy, and the time-traveling girl counterattacks and becomes the queen

After receiving the recipe for the Soul Gathering Pill, Wang Xinyao was incredibly excited and eager to set out to the mountains to gather herbs. It was still early, and they only needed to discuss the matter with the village chief regarding the banquet for the villagers to enjoy in the new house. Ultimately, they decided to move into the new home in two days and leave all remaining matters to the village chief.

Time flies. Wang Xinyao has been in this ancient world for over a month. During this time, she's been incredibly busy, but now she's gradually adjusted to this hectic pace. With the arrival of late autumn and the gradually cooler weather, Wang Xinyao headed to the mountainside to search for the herbs needed for the Soul Gathering Pill recipe.

The medicinal herbs needed for the Soul Gathering Pill were numerous, totaling thirty-eight. After searching midway up the mountain, Wang Xinyao had only managed to collect eighteen of them. Faced with this, she decided without hesitation to continue toward the summit, hoping to find more herbs.

The air grew fresher the higher they climbed. Wang Xinyao, now a first-grade martial artist, could sense the uniqueness of the air. It was spiritual energy, perfectly suited to cultivation. Of course, while this place offered a prime location for cultivation, it also held its own dangers.

Wang Xinyao was delighted. She had never expected such a rich spiritual energy to be found at the top of this mountain. What a pleasant surprise! She took a few deep breaths, feeling the comfort brought by the spiritual energy entering her body, and then began to search for other herbs on the mountaintop.

Not long after, Wang Xinyao discovered many rare herbs, and next to these herbs, there was a strange plant emitting a faint light. She walked closer and saw that this plant was one of the main spiritual herbs needed in the recipe of the Spirit Gathering Pill. Its leaves showed a strange pattern, which seemed to contain some kind of mysterious power.

Wang Xinyao carefully dug it out, and just as she turned to leave, she suddenly heard a low roar coming from not far away. She looked closely and saw a huge beast walking towards her.

Wang Xinyao eyed the beast warily. It was massive, covered in hard scales, and its eyes held a fierce aura. She gripped the hoe tightly, ready to deal with the beast's attack. She wouldn't use her pistol unless absolutely necessary. She had too few bullets, and she also wanted to test her strength as a first-rank martial artist.

However, the beast didn't attack immediately. Instead, it stopped a short distance from Wang Xinyao, watching her warily. Wang Xinyao noticed the beast seemed to be interested in the strange plant in her hand. She suddenly decided to use this to her advantage. She slowly raised the strange plant and showed it to the beast.

The beast's gaze was instantly drawn in, its blazing eyes revealing intense greed and ferocity. A deep, menacing growl erupted from its throat, like rumbling thunder. Opening its bloody maw, it pounced at Wang Xinyao with astonishing speed. Seeing this, Wang Xinyao didn't hesitate, decisively throwing the strange plant to the side. The beast, having fallen for it, immediately reversed its course and lunged at the plant like an arrow from a bow.

Seizing this precious opportunity, Wang Xinyao swiftly dodged the beast's attack with a sideways movement, nimble as a swallow, deftly avoiding the beast's attack. At the same moment, the hoe she gripped, with a whistling sound, struck the beast's head fiercely. With a dull thud, the beast, in pain, turned furiously, its eyes blazing with rage. It lunged at Wang Xinyao once more, claws and fangs bared, as if to tear the human who dared to challenge it to pieces.

Wang Xinyao nimbly dodged the beast's pounce, picked up a stone, and threw it at the beast. The stone hit the beast's eye accurately, temporarily blinding it.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Xinyao quickly ran to a large tree not far away. She nimbly climbed to the top of the tree, looking for a safe place to rest.

After the beast regained its sight, it rushed around even more angrily, trying to find Wang Xinyao's trace.

Wang Xinyao nervously observed the movements below, pondering her next move. She decided to wait for the beast to approach the tree before launching another attack.

When the beast came under the tree, Wang Xinyao jumped down without hesitation and kicked the beast in the head. Then, she raised the hoe and hit the beast on the back with all her strength.

The blow wounded the beast so severely that it howled in pain and fled the scene.

Wang Xinyao breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a sense of accomplishment as she watched the beast flee. She carefully retrieved the exotic plant and continued digging for medicinal herbs.

The closer she got to the top of the mountain, the more herbs there were. Suddenly, she felt a warm current filling her whole body, and the bottleneck loosened a little. She immediately put down the hoe and started practicing.

It seems that growing through battle is absolutely true. If I were to face a Grandmaster-level figure like last time again, would I be able to withstand a single blow? Wang Xinyao muttered to herself. After all, there were two time bombs at home, and they could be hunted down at any time. She usually spent her time trying to make money, so she had very little time to practice!

As the sun set and the sky darkened, Wang Xinyao finally managed to dig up enough herbs for the Soul Gathering Pill. She also had a bountiful harvest of other herbs, piling them up like a mountain within the ring. Just as she was contentedly preparing to return home, her gaze was suddenly drawn to two enormous Ganoderma lucidum plants in the distance. These two plants looked incredibly valuable, estimated to be at least 800 years old, perhaps even millennia-old.

Wang Xinyao, secretly delighted, quickly walked towards the Ganoderma lucidum, ready to pick some and take it home. However, at that moment, a powerful aura like a tidal wave hit her face, as if it was about to overturn the entire forest. Wang Xinyao couldn't help but startle and looked around warily. Suddenly, a giant python, as huge as a dragon, appeared in her sight, giving her a chilling feeling.

The python's eyes, like copper bells, stared at Wang Xinyao fiercely, and its scarlet tongue kept moving in and out of its mouth, as if it regarded Wang Xinyao as its prey that it was determined to catch.

Wang Xinyao has been afraid of snakes since she was a child, but what she saw in front of her was a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum. She was unwilling to give up so easily. Moreover, if she turned around and ran for her life, she estimated that she would not be able to escape the python's pursuit. So she held the hoe tightly, preparing for this sudden and huge threat.

The python's speed was lightning fast, and Wang Xinyao attacked it repeatedly, but couldn't hurt it at all. Several times, Wang Xinyao narrowly escaped being bitten by its sharp fangs. Man and snake fought tirelessly for countless rounds, neither side giving in, and the battle remained at a stalemate!

Suddenly, the python spoke in human language, "Damn human, how dare you covet my spiritual creatures? Just wait and see how I deal with you next!"

Wang Xinyao was shocked. This was actually a python that had developed intelligence. She knew that this kind of python was more dangerous than ordinary pythons.

Wang Xinyao tried to negotiate with the python, "I didn't mean to offend you. I just stumbled upon these two Ganoderma lucidums. If you're willing to let me go, I can give them up!"

The sky was gradually darkening, which was extremely disadvantageous for Wang Xinyao, but it had no effect on the python. She tried several times to use her mind to enter the space, but the python was too fast, leaving her no time to use her mind! At this moment, she was really panicking!

"Stop talking nonsense! Dare you covet my spiritual treasure? You must die!" The python suddenly opened its mouth, spitting out its long, thin tongue, and lunged at Wang Xinyao again with great momentum. Its gaping maw seemed to swallow everything, a terrifying sight. Its tongue rapidly expanded and contracted in the air, emitting a dangerous aura.

Wang Xinyao dodged sideways and swung the hoe to hit the python hard, but the python nimbly avoided the attack and swung its long tail towards Wang Xinyao.

The light in the forest had dimmed, significantly affecting Wang Xinyao's vision. This time, she couldn't dodge the python's tail attack. She felt as if her waist had been struck by a heavy hammer, a searing pain that made her mouth spurt blood. But she still held the hoe tightly, ready to continue the fight.

Seeing this, the python became even more furious. Its already ferocious and terrifying appearance became even more distorted. It opened its bloody mouth, revealing its sharp fangs. Its scarlet tongue kept moving in and out, making a hissing sound that made people's scalps numb, and it vowed to give Wang Xinyao a fatal blow.

Due to her previous injury, Wang Xinyao's speed was much slower than before. Although she barely avoided the python's direct attack, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her foot. The pain was like a sharp needle piercing her heart, and she almost lost her footing. Finally, she was bitten. She stumbled, her body shaky, and she almost fell to the ground.

However, this wasn't the worst. The python pounced on Wang Xinyao once again with utter ferocity, its massive body whipping up a gust of wind. At that moment, Wang Xinyao felt for the first time how close death was to her. Terror washed over her like a tide, and her heart instantly rose to her throat.

After all, the strength is too weak!

At this critical moment, Wang Xinyao suddenly heard a familiar cry: "Miss Wang, be careful!"
