【Ding, host companion defeated a first-stage mid-level enemy, villain emotional value +150】
Inside the cave.
Ye Wangchuan stood at the entrance, his expression calm and indifferent.
Beside him, Li Luo looked excited.
So, killing beasts also earns emotional value!
"Liu Han, it's you."
Ye Wangchuan lifted Li Luo with his arm, leaped down from the cave entrance, and landed steadily beside Liu Han.
Liu Han, trembling, took out a medicinal pill from his spatial ring and swallowed it.
"Brother Ye, thank you for saving me!"
"It's just a small snake, nothing to worry about."
Ye Wangchuan spoke casually, not even bothering to consider the giant snake as a threat.
But his words left Liu Han and Old Qin speechless.
That giant snake had nearly killed Liu Han with a single strike.
Old Qin had almost resorted to using a secret technique to save Liu Han's life.
Yet, in Ye Wangchuan's eyes, it was merely a small snake...
It was worth noting that Ye Wangchuan and Liu Han had started cultivating in the same year!
"Hey, you two... stop chatting... save me first..."
At that moment, a female voice interrupted Ye Wangchuan and Liu Han's conversation.
Following the voice, they saw the girl who had been surrounded by the giant snake earlier.
Her face was now purple, as if she had been poisoned.
Ye Wangchuan and Liu Han approached and noticed two small holes on the girl's thigh.
Clearly, she had been bitten by some kind of venomous snake.
They needed to suck out the poison immediately to treat her!
"You go ahead and treat her."
Ye Wangchuan patted Liu Han on the shoulder.
He couldn't be bothered to suck out the poison himself.
Liu Han nodded and immediately approached the girl.
"Hello, let me help you!"
In this urgent situation...
The girl first glanced at the two men in front of her.
Hmm... both of them are so handsome!
And they both have spatial rings, so they must be from wealthy families!
But the man with the spear seems stronger—he can kill a giant snake with a single strike.
The man with the sword, on the other hand, is too weak—he almost got killed by a tail swipe.
Since I'm so beautiful, I should definitely pair up with the best man!
Hmph, this swordsman is such a loser, offering to treat me—he must be trying to take advantage of me!
Unlike that spear-wielding man, who looks so cool and aloof—so handsome!
With that thought, the girl waved her hand dismissively at Liu Han.
"No need. You're injured, so take care of yourself first."
Then she turned and pointed at Ye Wangchuan.
"Handsome, could you help treat me?"
Ye Wangchuan: "?"
Is this girl crazy? She refuses Liu Han's help but asks me to treat her?
But Ye Wangchuan didn't refuse. Instead, after a moment of thought, he put on a friendly smile and nodded.
"Alright, I'll help you."
"However, this place isn't suitable. Let's go somewhere more ventilated."
With that, Ye Wangchuan gently picked up the girl and carried her out of the cave.
...
Inside the cave.
Li Luo watched Ye Wangchuan's back with a look of exasperation.
About a minute after Ye Wangchuan left, a voice echoed in Li Luo's ear.
【Ding, host companion defeated a first-stage early-level enemy, villain emotional value +100】
Hearing this, Li Luo's lips twitched.
As expected, she knew Ye Wangchuan wasn't that kind-hearted!
...
Outside the cave.
Ye Wangchuan flicked his spear, shaking off the blood on its tip.
In front of him lay the girl from earlier.
The girl clutched her chest, staring in shock at the blood gushing out.
Before dying, she exclaimed in disbelief,
"You're a man! How could you kill a woman? Aren't men supposed to cherish and protect women?!"
"Huh? You're not dead yet?"
Bang!
Another strike from the spear smashed into the girl's head!
Only then did she die completely.
Ye Wangchuan's reason for killing the girl was simple.
Based on his judgment, she would likely become Liu Han's girlfriend in the future.
After all, judging by how Liu Han had been on the verge of death while being surrounded by the giant snake, he was probably about to have a breakthrough.
Killing the snake, sucking out the poison, and the added bonus of saving the beauty—it was practically a done deal.
Except Ye Wangchuan had stepped in, killed the snake with a single strike, and interrupted the breakthrough.
To prevent the girl from turning Liu Han into a love-struck fool who would lose his intelligence and turn against Ye Wangchuan,
or from dragging them down when they encountered powerful monsters in the cave,
or from taking a share of any opportunities they might find,
Ye Wangchuan decided to kill her first.
After all, they were in a hidden realm—disposing of a body would be easy.
Ye Wangchuan burned the girl's body to ashes, divided the ashes into ten piles mixed with glutinous rice, buried five piles in different spots, and scattered the other five into a river.
Only after disposing of the body did he return to the cave.
...
Inside the cave.
Liu Han, seeing Ye Wangchuan return alone, asked in confusion,
"Brother Ye, where's the girl from earlier?"
"I removed the poison and left her outside. The cave isn't ventilated well, and there are too many beasts—it's not a good place to rest."
Ye Wangchuan replied casually.
Liu Han nodded, not suspecting anything.
Brother Ye had been friends with him for so many years, had such high cultivation, and had just saved his life.
There was no way he would lie to him!
Meanwhile, Li Luo looked on with a face full of exasperation.
She already knew what Ye Wangchuan's "removing the poison" and "leaving her outside" really meant.
But Li Luo didn't say anything—it wasn't her concern anyway.
At that moment, Liu Han felt that his injuries had mostly healed.
So he spoke up,
"Brother Ye, my wounds are healed. Let's get out of here. This cave is too dangerous—I'm afraid some large beast might attack us."
As soon as Liu Han finished speaking...
Rumble!
Suddenly, the cave began to shake violently.
It was as if some enormous creature was moving...
Ye Wangchuan's lips twitched as he silently cursed.
Liu Han, who taught you to jinx things like this?
But in a way, this suited Ye Wangchuan's plans.
He had wanted to follow Liu Han to see if he could find any opportunities in the cave.
Rumble!
As Ye Wangchuan was thinking, the rumbling grew louder.
The next second.
Boom!!!
A section of the cave collapsed.
A giant snake, its head as large as a house, poked through the opening!
The snake's body was buried underground, and Ye Wangchuan estimated its length to be at least 500 meters!
Third stage!
This giant snake was at least at the third stage!
At that moment, the giant snake noticed the corpse of the 20-meter-long snake.
"Hiss—!"
A terrifying shriek echoed as the enraged snake opened its mouth, gathering spiritual energy!
In just three seconds, a dazzling blue orb formed in its mouth.
Rumble—!!!
A wave of cold light surged toward the three like a tsunami.
"Oh no, it's a divine ability!"
Liu Han panicked, looking at Ye Wangchuan and Li Luo in fear.
"One should be enough, right?"
"Hmm... probably not."
"Alright, let's go with three then."
Ye Wangchuan and Li Luo calmly discussed as if nothing was happening.
Then, Li Luo took out three explosive talismans from her pocket and slapped them into Ye Wangchuan's hand.
Liu Han: "?"
Why are these two so calm?
And what are those talismans?
