Banshee Family Training Record

Page 131

A very ominous feeling rose in Yun Chu'an's heart. Without delay, he strode into the cave and quickly arrived at the hiding place of the so-called "mysterious person" along the passage.

Here, a flickering brazier hangs on the wall, its orange glow barely illuminating the cave. A man with dry, yellow hair and a thin frame lies on a stone bed, his bones clearly visible, a testament to his current weakness.

He was still unconscious, his brow furrowed as if he were in great pain. However, the field mice had changed his tattered clothes into a brand new white cotton shirt, and now several field mice were squatting on the ground, carefully wiping the wound on his ribs with medicine.

When Yun Chu'an walked in, he saw the piercing wound on the man's ribs and felt a chill run down his spine. His gaze fixed on the man's face, and he silently recited the Qi Observation Technique to observe him. With just one glance, he confirmed the true identity of the man on the bed.

The escaped dragon son of the Wei River!

At this thought, he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine. What the hell? The target that countless snake demons throughout the entire Serpent Cave were hunting and searching for was now in his hands!

What on earth is going on? How did this guy suddenly end up here?!

No, that's not right!

He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

He didn't run over there. According to Qi Qiao, it was Yan Yao and Sui Sui who picked him up.

Is it a coincidence?

After all, Yan Yao was just a Qi Refining Level 3 girl who didn't seem to have anything special about her...

He rested his chin on his hand, lost in thought. Behind him, heavy thumping sounds came; Qi Qiao had come to his side and stood beside him, gazing at the unconscious Weihe Dragon Prince in the room.

She didn't recognize the man, but she could sense the heavy mood in her man's heart. Guessing that the man lying there was trouble, she whispered, "How about we get rid of him?"

Chapter 289 Finding Wealth in Danger

Yun Chu'an snapped out of his daze, shook his head, and said firmly, "No, we can't get rid of him!"

"On the contrary, we need to find an opportunity to send him away!"

A daring idea surfaced in his mind. It was so daring that his heart trembled.

As the saying goes, fortune favors the bold, and he couldn't continue cooperating with the Yellow Python family forever; these snake demons clearly had no future.

Sooner or later, he will have to walk with the righteous path, even if it's just the so-called "righteous path," because the benefits of cooperating with them will be greater.

As the owner of Weihu Market, if Weihe Longzi could be made to owe him a life-saving favor, he would be able to do whatever he wanted in the area without any obstacles in the future.

The potential profits are enormous; fortune favors the bold, let's do it!

The credit for saving the dragon prince of the Wei River belongs to me!

He made up his mind and immediately took a deep breath: "Qiao'er, tell these field mice to keep their mouths shut and not to mention this man. Go tell Meng Shen to prepare some medicine. This man is a treasure; we must protect him and not let anything happen to him!"

Qi Qiao nodded slightly, indicating that she would do it. He was about to make some more arrangements when a field mouse suddenly rushed into the cave in a panic, its face filled with alarm: "It's terrible, sir! The snake demons are here! They say they want to search this place!"

Immediately, Yun Chu'an's expression changed, he frowned, and waved his hand: "Don't panic, just do what you need to do, I'll handle it!"

……

Outside the cave, in the mountain valley.

The full moon hung high in the sky, illuminating the waist-high weeds in the valley. Several snake demons at the sixth or seventh level of Qi Refining, who had already transformed into human form, stood at the entrance of the cave, confronting several rat demons.

The rat demons were clearly a level below them in cultivation, but they held spears in their hands and stood there trembling. Even though they were completely suppressed by the other side in terms of both race and cultivation, they still stood there without moving, not letting these guys into their home.

The leading snake demon, still possessing the head of a python, had a cold glint in his eyes. His tone was unfriendly as he looked at these rat-headed, human-bodied demon cultivators and sneered, "They've really gone too far! These rat demons are all so audacious these days. They're clearly vassals, yet they dare to block our path?"

"Believe it or not, all of you combined wouldn't be enough for me to swallow whole with just one mouth!"

He suddenly widened his eyes, flicked his tongue, and issued a death threat to the rat demons in front of him.

Unfortunately, despite trembling with fear, none of the rat demons retreated. One of them, steeling itself, suddenly shouted, "We haven't received orders to let you in!"

Their attitude was firm. The snake-headed demon cultivator glared angrily, about to lash out, when another snake demon, who had almost transformed into human form, suddenly stepped forward and said, "I know the concerns of my fellow rat brothers, but we really have a mission to complete this time, and we cannot make an exception."

"How about this, we'll go in and search, and the rest of you can stay with us and supervise. That way, we'll each compromise, and everyone will be better off. What do you think?"

He seemed to be trying to smooth things over, but the solution he proposed was still more favorable to them, and the rat demons would never agree to this condition.

Just kidding, this is their own home. If we let these greedy snake demons in to search, how much of their treasures will be safe?

They can easily find any excuse to take all this treasure away for investigation. Then, they'll have nowhere to turn and will have anything to complain to.

Even if it's not for anyone else, but just for themselves, today, these rat demons are risking their lives to prevent the snake demons from entering their homes!

The two sides were deadlocked, and the atmosphere gradually turned cold. The snake-headed demon cultivator grew increasingly impatient. He was already in a bad mood because he had to patrol and search everywhere late at night, and now these rat demons were acting like they had no sense and wouldn't cooperate. This was unacceptable!

He was about to make a move when, at that moment, a voice they absolutely did not want to hear suddenly rang out: "What are you doing disturbing the peace and quiet in the middle of the night?"

It is a place of peace and tranquility.

Or, in the ears of the snake demons, it was the voice of "Mickey Mouse".

Immediately, the expressions of the snake demons present changed. Looking into the cave, they saw "Mickey," dressed in dark purple pajamas, walking out of the cave with sleepy eyes and angrily shouting, "What are you doing!"

He swept his gaze around and released the spiritual energy fluctuations of his Foundation Establishment stage. Instantly, none of the snake demons present dared to meet his eyes, and they all lowered their heads, sweating profusely.

"Someone come here and tell me clearly what happened!" he said, turning to look at the field mouse beside him. The mouse, as if granted a pardon, quickly told him everything that had happened.

Yun Chu'an looked confused and angry, but he knew exactly what was going on. He had known all along why these snake demons had come, but now, the Dragon Prince of the Wei River was indeed in his house.

We absolutely cannot let these guys in!

He frowned, turned his head, and gave the snake demons a cold look: "So you mean, it's not enough that you eat my food, drink my water, use my things, and take my things every day, now you want to come into my house and take everything, is that right?"

"Come on in, come on in! Take whatever you like, just empty this place out of the box!"

He said, making way for them, and shouted loudly, telling them to go in.

The snake-headed demon remained silent. Sweat beaded on its forehead as it transformed into human form. It gave an awkward laugh: "No, no, no, Master Mi, that's not what we meant. It's just that we've been given a mission from above—a thorough search to find the escaped Dragon Prince of the Wei River..."

Yun Chu'an's eyes widened suddenly: "You mean, I secretly removed his shackles and let him escape, and now that the roads are blocked and I can't send him out, I'm hiding him in my own house, right? Huh?!"

The snake demon hurriedly waved its hands: "No, no, no, Master Mi, you've misunderstood. That's not what I meant, I really didn't mean that..."

Yun Chu'an stepped forward, staring coldly at him, then suddenly pointed to his own throat: "Who do you think you are, daring to investigate my house? Either you step on my head to get into my house today, or you go back and find Diao De'er and tell him that I'm the one who won't let you in!"

His attitude was volatile and nasty, yet the snake demon dared not utter a single word of objection. Not to mention that the suppression of cultivation had now reversed, just as Yun Chu'an had said, the spirit stones these snake demons had used for cultivation during this period were all earned by Yun Chu'an for them!

If you offend him, you won't have such good days anymore. There are still many people in the Serpent's Lair who are eyeing the spoils with longing, wanting a piece but unable to get their hands on it!

"This……"

The snake demon was speechless for a moment, its mind racing as it weighed its options.

Forget it, given the close relationship between the Mickey Mouse family and the snake demon family, it's really impossible for them to hide the Wei River Dragon Prince. On the contrary, if they offend him, the brothers won't have a good life in the future...

Once the stakes were clear, the snake demon suddenly became ruthless and slapped himself across the face!

Snapped--

A crisp sound rang out, particularly loud in the dead of night. The rat demons were all startled, wondering what the snake demon was up to.

The snake demon had indeed used force; with that slap, half of his face was red and swollen, and blood even began to seep from the corner of his mouth, as if he had knocked out his own teeth.

Even so, he still wore a fawning smile: "Mr. Mi, I was confused for a moment. How could I be so stupid? I should never have suspected you!"

"I apologize, I slap myself, I deserve to die! If you're still not satisfied, then come and slap me twice yourself!"

As he spoke, he raised his other hand and slapped it hard across his other cheek, producing a chillingly sharp sound!

Chapter 290 The Dragon Prince Awakens

Yun Chu'an, seeing that things were going well, stopped and continued, "Alright, alright, I didn't really blame you. Be smarter in the future, know who your own people are, and who you should really investigate."

"Take this as a lesson, and don't repeat it!"

As he spoke, he reached out and placed his hand on his shoulder, silently chanting a spell and infusing spiritual power into him, allowing the profound energy to circulate within his body.

The swelling on the snake demon's face immediately disappeared, and he returned to normal in an instant. Although his movements appeared forceful, he had not actually circulated his spiritual power; the injuries left on his face were merely superficial, making him look pitiful and intimidating.

Therefore, in the blink of an eye, all these wounds are completely healed, leaving no trace.

"Get lost, I need to sleep, I don't have time to see you off!" Leaving behind this impatient remark, Yun Chu'an turned and went back into his cave. The snake demons, having been given the cold shoulder, were visibly annoyed. Looking up at the rat demons, they saw their gloating expressions, which only worsened their mood.

Unfortunately, they dared not say anything. If they caused any trouble and Mickey Mouse came back, they would be in real trouble.

In the end, these guys could only turn around and leave dejectedly, determined never to bother the field mouse's family again.

The search party was just a bunch of small fry; a little intimidation was all it took to get them through. Yun Chu'an returned to the cave, breathed a sigh of relief, but still frowned, his heart pounding in his chest.

As time goes by, the snake demons will definitely intensify their search. This time, only a few minor demons came; what if next time, several powerful Foundation Establishment stage snake demons come?

We need to think of another way to protect the dragon prince of the Wei River, or better yet, get rid of him as soon as possible...

Before he could come up with a plan, a rat demon ran out from the depths of the cave, found him, and said with delight, "My lord, that person has woken up!"

Has the dragon prince of the Wei River awakened?

Yun Chu'an's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Take me to see him!"

The rat demon turned and walked ahead, with Yun Chu'an following behind. After a few strides, they returned to the cave where the Wei River Dragon Prince had just been.

At this moment, the once high-ranking dragon prince, respected wherever he went, lay on the bed, his face pale, his eyes bloodshot, and his expression filled with anxiety and fear as he looked at the people around him.

Yun Chu'an walked into the cave, and his keen senses immediately recognized him as the leader of these rat demons. He looked at him with extreme vigilance and said, "Thank you for saving my life. I am Huang Yong, a yellow cat who has cultivated into a spirit. Recently, I was unfortunately ambushed by a villain and was seriously injured."

"I will remember your kindness and will repay you handsomely in the future."

This guy is extremely vigilant; he quickly devised a disguise for himself, afraid that others would see through his true identity.

Yun Chu'an pondered for a moment, then decided not to expose him yet. He continued at his own pace, saying to himself, "Okay, Mr. Huang, don't worry, it's absolutely safe here right now. The snake demons would never dare to step into my cave."

He spoke with such confidence that even the Dragon Prince of the Wei River hesitated. But what surprised him even more was what followed: "The snake demons have blocked the way out, so we shouldn't act rashly for now, or we'll surely alert them. You should stay here and rest to recover. Once you're almost healed, I'll take you out and back to Wei Lake."

He said this, and these words were unbelievable to the Dragon Prince of the Wei River.

Seeing his shocked expression, Yun Chuan smiled slightly, reached out and removed the mask from his face, revealing his true appearance: "Yan Shuiyi of the Qingyun Sect is my friend, and Master Huijing of the Buddhist sect owes me a debt of gratitude. Mr. Huang can rest assured that we are fellow travelers on the righteous path."

The Dragon Prince of the Wei River was extremely shocked. Looking at Yun Chu'an's handsome face, which was clearly that of a normal human, he was overjoyed.

So that's how it is. I knew the people outside were trying their best to save me. I never imagined they would even infiltrate here!

I'm saved! I'm finally saved!

He was so excited that his blood rushed to his head, and he wanted to say something, but suddenly he couldn't control himself and coughed violently, "Cough cough cough—!"

Yun Chu'an hurriedly gestured to several field mice around him to heal his wounds, while his gaze was fixed on the wounds on Long Zi's ribs. He frowned, activated his Qi Observation Technique, and carefully observed: "Speaking of which, your injuries... I remember before, you should have been a Foundation Establishment cultivator?"

Several field mice brought a towel and placed it by the Longzikou of the Wei River. The latter coughed up several mouthfuls of blood, then stopped pretending, nodded, his face full of bitterness, and sighed, "Yes, but now... there's nothing I can do."

"The yellow pythons pierced my ribs with instruments of torture and sealed my cultivation. If I wanted to break free of the instruments and escape, I had to sacrifice my cultivation, destroy my realm and my achievements in order to seize the only chance to escape."

Recalling the pain he endured during his escape, his eye twitched, as if it still ached faintly: "However, fortunately, although the price was high, I managed to escape. As long as my injuries heal, there won't be any aftereffects, and I can start cultivating again, cough cough..."

Before he could finish speaking, he coughed violently again, his face turning ashen, and he looked very unwell.

Seeing his condition, Yun Chu'an was afraid that he would die here before he could escape, so he hurriedly asked, "What medicine do you need? I have a pharmacist here who can help you recover."

He said this without much confidence. Although the field mouse family had medicine, most of it was common herbs, which would probably be difficult to treat the symptoms of the Wei River Dragon Prince.

After all, this guy was a Foundation Establishment cultivator before; he fell from a higher realm.

"Let's give it a try; it's better than nothing." The Dragon Prince of the Wei River stopped coughing and sighed. He looked up at Yun Chu'an with gratitude in his eyes: "Thank you, friend. Although I don't know how to address you yet, the Wei River Dragon Clan will surely repay you handsomely after I leave!"

Yun Chu'an waved his hand: "I am a merchant from the Huai Shan family, my name is Yun Chu'an. Let's talk about those things later. Your main task now is to recover from your injuries."

After saying this, he arranged for the rat demons to continue taking care of him. Then he went outside, found Liu Mengshen, and instructed her to see if she could prepare some medicine to help the dragon prince recover as soon as possible.

The night passed quickly, and the next morning, just as Yun Chu'an got up, a rat demon came to inform him that Diao De'er had come to see him.

He walked outside the cave, and in the bright sunlight, he saw the big man holding a token in his hand, his eyes gleaming: "Brother, I got it for you."

As he spoke, he handed the token to him and continued, "This is the only special pass during the blockade. In the future, when you go out, take a detour and go a little further, exiting through the southern checkpoint."

"As long as you take it, someone over there will recognize it, and after the inspection, you can come and go freely."

"However, there's one thing," he said, his expression serious. "This thing can only be used by yourself."

Yun Chu'an raised an eyebrow: "Oh? The controls are that strict?"

Diao Desi nodded and sighed, "Yes, after all, it's an order from above. I made an agreement with the brothers over there; he won't make things difficult for us, but on the condition that we don't make things too difficult for him either."

"He was already unwilling, but luckily he knows you, so he reluctantly agreed."

Yun Chu'an frowned. If it were yesterday, he would have been satisfied, but given the current situation, this was far from enough.

His ultimate goal was to safely transport the dragon's offspring out of the Wei River!
