"Brother Xiaoyuan, let me help you clean your room."

Yulia spoke with a grin. She didn't know the story of this house, and seeing how dirty it was, she decided to tidy it up.

She developed this habit because she liked to do things when she was bored.

Zhang Xiaoyuan was stunned for a moment after hearing this. When she came to her senses, she nodded somewhat blankly and did not refuse.

He is no longer the "Zhang Xiaoyuan" of the past, and there is no need for him to stay in this empty room anymore.

As Julia cast her elven magic, plant vines stretched into the room from the windows or emerged from the surrounding mud walls and roof, releasing their energy to purify the air and clean the dust from the room.

With such a capable helper by her side, Zhang Xiaoyuan doesn't have to lift a finger; the plants take care of all the chores and do them very cleanly.

It's comparable to a fully automated household robot.

In no time, the room became spotless and was cleaned thoroughly.

If Zhang Xiaoyuan hadn't seen how messy it used to be inside, she simply couldn't imagine how clean and tidy it is now.

"Alright, you can go in now."

Looking at the clean house, Julia was in a great mood. Indeed, nothing makes an elf happier than a clean and tidy house.

"Ah."

A clean room does indeed give people a clean and bright feeling, and Zhang Xiaoyuan felt much more comfortable after seeing it.

"You can get ready to sleep here tonight."

After Zhang Xiaoyuan finished speaking, she returned to the living room.

There is a small bed there.

Since Zhang Xiaoyuan's parents died, her predecessor has been sleeping here because she felt safer in an open space.

There was a faded wooden carving on the bed, a little rabbit.

Zhang Xiaoyuan reached out and touched it, feeling a sense of security.

"Brother Yuan, what do you want to eat for lunch?"

Ishida's voice came from outside; he was working on the stove in the kitchen.

I haven't been back for three years, and a lot of dust has accumulated on the roof. The chimney is also a bit clogged, and some kitchen utensils need to be cleaned.

"Just watch and do it."

Zhang Xiaoyuan pursed his lips; after Ishida said that, he really was hungry.

"okay."

Ishida responded, glanced at the yard, turned on the pump to fill the water tank first.

Just then, he heard a commotion of shouts outside.

"Huh? What happened?"

He frowned, and as soon as he reached the gate and poked his head out, he felt a gust of foul wind.

Snapped!

Before Ishida could even see what was in front of him, a burning pain shot through his face. He crashed through the bricks in front of the door and spun out of the room.

thump!

Ishida landed heavily in a haystack, only to find a pair of eyes staring nervously at him from within.

"Is it that brat?"

Ishida recognized the other person, but he didn't make a sound. Instead, he slid off the haystack, wiped the blood off his face, and coldly looked at the guy who had sent him flying not far away.

It was a long, serpentine monster.

It is four meters long and as thick as a fist. Its body is covered with bright blue and red scales. Its black forked tongue flickers constantly in and out of its mouth, and its black vertical pupils gleam with a cold light.

"It turned out to be a small snake."

Ishida relaxed on the surface, but his heart tightened, because this magical beast was level 15 while he was level 11, and he might not be able to defeat it.

"Fizz!"

The serpent beast saw Ishida again, and a hint of interest flickered in its black vertical pupils.

Swish!

The long snake trembled and arched its body. The next moment, to Ishida's astonishment, the long snake actually took to the air and pounced on Ishida at an extremely fast speed.

"You little snake, you're asking for it!"

Ishida, holding a shield in one hand, met the attack while using a clay spear in the other, relying on his years of experience cooking to stab the snake at its vital point.

The long snake, suspended in mid-air with no point of leverage, suddenly trembled again, changing direction and dodging Ishida's earthen spear, its tail whipping out fiercely.

Snapped!

Ishida was sent flying again, this time feeling as if several of his ribs had been broken.

"You forced me to do this!"

With bloodshot eyes, Ishida landed on the ground and suddenly shouted:

"Brother Yuan, help me! The food is attacking me!"

The long snake paused for a moment, then grinned, making a smile that resembled that of a human.

It landed on the ground and slowly crawled towards Ishida, proudly raising its head and looking at Ishida with excited and greedy eyes.

Just as it opened its mouth wide, about to bite Ishida, it suddenly found that its head could no longer move forward and felt a strong sense of suffocation.

"Hiss?"

The long snake was puzzled, but the next moment it was lifted up and tightly squeezed in a palm.

It turned its head and found a human staring at it indifferently, a gaze that sent chills down its spine, even for a cold-blooded animal like itself.

"hiss……"

Bang!

Before the snake could utter a sound, a hand lashed out and smashed its head.

“Take care of it.”

Zhang Xiaoyuan flicked her hand and tossed the serpent beast to Ishida.

"Hehe, okay."

Ishida rubbed his left rib and gave a dry laugh.

But the next second, he was stunned.

In addition to gaining 0.3 experience points, a skill emblem also appeared on the corpse of the serpent monster.

"Brother Yuan..."

Ishida tried to call out to Zhang Xiaoyuan, but found that she had already walked away.

[Serpent Spear: Transforms the user's body into a sharp, hard spear, available in both flexible and rigid forms. Increases Strength by 10 points upon use. Intermediate Skill Crest.]

"This...did Yuan leave this for me?"

Ishida was overjoyed. He already had the [Spear Dagger] skill, and now that he had acquired another spear-type skill, his attack power would be greatly enhanced.

"Thanks, Brother Yuan! I promise I'll make sure you eat the best food in the world!"

Ishida immediately used the [Spear Dagger] skill emblem to sense the changes in his body.

……

After dealing with the serpent monster, Zhang Xiaoyuan followed the residual monster aura in the air and eventually found the serpent monster's lair under a bridge.

There was also a withered vine with a flower bud on it, but there was no fruit inside, as if it had just been picked.

"It seems this magical beast didn't appear all along, but rather it was because it ate the mutated fruit that grew from this vine that a small snake evolved in a short period of time," Zhang Xiaoyuan analyzed.

These fruits and other materials that can cause mutations in plants and animals are unusable and unrecognizable to humans because they have a special attraction only for plants and animals.

Even those who have received divine power and possess data panels cannot identify the data unless they have an upgraded data panel like Zhang Xiaoyuan.

As the serpent beast was killed, several figures appeared on the street one after another; they were the villagers who had just been chased and bitten by the serpent beast.

"That monster is dead?"

Someone saw Ishida sitting on the ground, cross-legged, resting, and then saw the headless serpent monster in front of him, and immediately exclaimed in surprise.

"That's right, this time it's really great that they were killed without causing any casualties," a villager said thankfully.

"Young man, thank you."

Immediately, the villagers gathered around to express their gratitude to Shi Tian.

"Hey, wait a minute, I didn't kill this monster, my boss did."

Ishida quickly explained that although it felt good to be praised, he would not steal Yuan-ge's credit.

"Hey, you may not be the best-looking kid, but you're kind-hearted and humble, that's the thing," a villager said, giving Shi Tian a thumbs up.

"..."

Ishida's face immediately darkened; he'd rather let him continue praising.
