"Wait a minute!" Seeing that both sides were about to reach an agreement, Chu Xuan hurriedly interrupted.
"Fairy Min, please hear me out. This deceitful Daoist is full of lies, ten of me wouldn't be worth as much as this snow weasel."
"Since you're interested in me, why not take both me and the snow weasel with you? I'd rather give you the upper hand than let this Daoist benefit."
"Shut up!" Old Daoist Yuan was naturally hopping mad, almost ready to rush over and strangle this kid.
The charming female cultivator covered her mouth and smiled, "You little scamp, how we divide things is our own business."
"You wouldn't happen to think we're stupid enough to start a fight in front of you and let you escape, would you?"
Seeing his plan exposed, Chu Xuan didn't argue. He just secretly gripped a sharp stone spike he'd found earlier on the road with his right hand hidden behind him.
"Come, little brother. Sister will take good care of you~" Just as she said this, Fairy Min suddenly swooped down using her sword!
Old Daoist Yuan was a bit slower but also urged his donkey to charge forward, fearing the Hehuan Sect female cultivator would roll both away and escape.
In the critical moment, the snow weasel leaped out from Chu Xuan's arms and once again spewed a blast of extreme ice cold qi toward the old Daoist.
The old Daoist screamed, his whole body fell to the side, while the stubborn donkey was frosted into an ice sculpture, then rammed forward by its own inertia, smashing into a pile of ice shards on the ground.
"No!"
At the same time, the once confident Fairy Min suddenly let out a shocked cry, a three-foot long white silk was flying out from her sleeve to wrap up the young boy.
But after the snow weasel pounced out, Chu Xuan actually held the stone spike, pretending to stab his own heart!
His idea was simple, Old Daoist Yuan surely wouldn't care about his life or death, so the snow weasel's final trick had to be used on him.
And Fairy Min needed a living dual cultivation cauldron, she had to capture him alive.
So when Chu Xuan inexplicably "committed suicide," she immediately changed her move, the powerful white silk wrapped around the boy's right wrist, a force that he couldn't possibly counter.
The exhausted snow weasel forced itself to leap back, using its sharp teeth to tear open the white silk, trying to help its master escape together.
This was also Chu Xuan's plan. He grabbed the snow weasel and was just about to turn around, when he suddenly felt pain in his chest, hit by a bundle of spider silk, pinned tightly to the ground, unable to move.
And the snow weasel was also wrapped layer upon layer with the white silk magical artifact, turning into a round white dumpling with only its head exposed, dropping to the ground with a resentful wail.
Seeing Fairy Min reveal a wickedly charming smile, swaying her hips as she approached, Chu Xuan felt somewhat hopeless; the difference in strength was too great, beyond what tricks could solve.
"Little brother, I told you not to struggle, don't you like being pampered by sister?" Fairy Min looked down at him, deliberately pointing at her red lips with her finger, speaking in a coy tone.
Pampered? More like squeezing me dry, Chu Xuan thought bitterly.
"Fairy Min," the battered and bleeding Old Daoist Yuan rushed over, fawning as he spoke, "Shouldn't this little weasel belong to me?"
Fairy Min was a bit impatient, "Blabbering like that, don't you have any perception?"
She casually tugged and pulled the snow weasel to her own feet, in front of Chu Xuan, as if readying for interrogation.
Meanwhile, Old Daoist Yuan discreetly reached into his bag, taking advantage of the approach, a trace of ferocity in his eyes.
He still had a trump card secret treasure, though with limited range, it could only be used at close quarters. But this treasure was fearsome, and mid to low-tier cultivators would die from it, she definitely wouldn't have time to react!
Unexpectedly, just as Old Daoist Yuan was about to pull out his secret treasure, Fairy Min suddenly turned her head and spat!
A red light flashed so fast it was almost impossible to catch with the naked eye, Old Daoist Yuan didn't have time to react.
He died on the spot, a blood hole penetrated through his forehead, his corpse lifeless.
Old Daoist Yuan died with his eyes wide open, seemingly never expecting that this "not very vigilant" Fairy Min would strike first.
After her successful sneak attack, Fairy Min sneered, "A mere lowlife, never able to reach Foundation Establishment after struggling all his life, only knowing crooked means, thinking he had me cornered, ha!"
Then she proceeded to retrieve a small blood-red sword that flew nearly a hundred meters away.
This was a secret treasure bestowed by her master, with limited uses, wasted on this scum was somewhat distressing.
Normally, Hehuan Sect cultivators wouldn't kill sellers indiscriminately; after all, doing business requires some reputation, otherwise, every time a cauldron was sold to your cultivators and then vanished, even a fool would notice something wrong.
Originally, Fairy Min didn't intend to kill anyone this time, preferring a normal transaction.
But the value of this exotic snow weasel was apparently far higher than expected, and the old man still insisted on competing with her, leaving her no choice but to be ruthless.
After the killing, Fairy Min skillfully searched the corpse.
Old Daoist Yuan was poor, nothing valuable to loot, the only thing making her feel a bit frightened was discovering an extremely venomous secret treasure [Soul-Breaking Nail] in his bag.
This is rare, low-tier cultivators can use it, specially targeting the soul, the only flaw being short range.
Just now Fairy Min had already noticed the old geezer acting shady, plotting something, but she never expected it to be this thing, really walking a circle around the gates of hell.
On the other side, during the opponent's move, Chu Xuan already thought of countermeasures.
Therefore, as Fairy Min approached him again, Chu Xuan said with full righteousness, "Thank you, Fairy, for saving my life and avenging me! I'm deeply grateful for your timely assistance."
Fairy Min couldn't help but burst into laughter, "You little scamp, are you just learning from what you see?"
"Weren't you just fighting tooth and nail just now? How come you're flattering now?"
Chu Xuan said seriously, "This moment, that moment, and if you can't resist, you must learn to enjoy it."
Fairy Min nodded in satisfaction, "Yes, resisting will only bring hardship, if you cooperate well with sister, there'll be times you rejoice in heaven~"
As soon as she finished speaking, she casually gathered up the spider silk magical artifact restraining Chu Xuan.
Chu Xuan rubbed his chest, obediently stood up, without making any rash moves.
Then Fairy Min began to "get hands-on," Chu Xuan initially looked nervous, thinking: I'm still a child! Can't you wait a few years before making a move??
Soon, he realized he was being paranoid, Fairy Min was merely checking his cultivation aptitude, after all, she couldn't rely solely on the dead old ghost's words.
The first step was routine bone-touching, the second was different, Fairy Min formed spells, occasionally casting colorful rays into Chu Xuan's body, illuminating his meridians and bones, looking far more reliable than Old Daoist Yuan.
The more she investigated, the more surprised and solemn Fairy Min's expression became, until eventually, she was utterly delighted!
