Bold Witch, Don’T Hurt My Husband

Chapter 29: I and the Gambling Poison are Incompatible

When Xia Fan heard the two calling each other's names, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. After all, they were colleagues, or rather, fellow disciples.

But then, why did you sell me out? He clearly did it to treat the snake's injuries. If it weren't for him, the snake would have ended up in Xiao Fengshan's stomach.

"Xiao Fengshan, oh Xiao Fengshan, you're really regressing. You're actually hanging out with a junior disciple!"

"Hey kid, which peak are you from? Do you know how rare my Jade Spirit Snake is? I've raised it for a whole twenty years, and I only have these two. How dare you use it to make wine?" The scruffy old man looked at the barely alive Jade Spirit Snake crawling out of the wine jar, angrily.

Upon seeing this, Xia Fan couldn't help but look at Xiao Fengshan beside him, as if saying, "You better explain this to me!"

Although he didn't have to fear anyone in the Demon Sect with his identity, it was better to avoid unnecessary trouble. Who would want to cause trouble for themselves?

Besides, he wasn't the type to only rely on others and call himself a freeloader whenever something happened.

But this old Xiao Fengshan, with a twinkle in his eyes, smiled and said, "Hey, Li old freak, it's just a long worm. Consider it a drink for my little brother. And don't blame me for not reminding you, this kid has a relationship with Elder Lin Su. In the end, it will definitely be resolved."

He didn't directly expose Xia Fan's relationship with the elder from Mirror Moon Valley, as it was classified information. If he hadn't been involved at the time, he wouldn't have known. Moreover, Li old freak's cultivation level was not at the Celestial Phenomenon realm, so he naturally didn't know about the events of that year.

Xia Fan's marriage to Liu Shifei seemed to have nothing to hide, but almost everyone who knew the inside story was a high-ranking member of the sect. Moreover, ten years had passed, and his appearance had changed significantly. If it weren't for the people he frequently met, almost no one would recognize him.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Li old freak couldn't contain his anger. Although his cultivation level was not as high as Lin Su's, he was one of the few alchemy elders in the Demon Sect and was known for his expertise in poison. The poison he refined could even affect those at the Celestial Phenomenon realm if they weren't careful.

"Lin Su? What's wrong with Lin Su? Could this kid be her lover? Let me tell you, even if he is, I won't stand for it. If my spirit snake dies, I'll make a big fuss about it even if I have to go to the Sect Master!"

"If you don't believe me, let's make a bet. If this matter is resolved, I want your breakthrough pill!"

The nature of a gambler emerged once again.

"Elder, it's not—"

Xia Fan was about to explain, but Li old freak waved his hand and a green light shot straight into his chest. Immediately, he felt unable to move, and at the same time, he felt a biting pain as if a snake was tearing at his chest.

"In consideration of you being my disciple, this is just a small punishment. It will automatically be lifted in half an hour!"

"As for you, Xiao Fengshan, if you want my breakthrough pill, what do you have to bet with me? A poor beggar like you still has the nerve!"

"I don't care who of you two messed up my snake like this, but today, you must give me an explanation!"

Just then, a streak of light flew straight towards Li old freak.

"Bang!"

The next second, Li old freak was sent flying and crashed into the nearby Qinghe River.

"Cough cough!"

"Who dares to attack me!"

Soon, Li old freak rose into the air, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth and shouting, but in response, there was a clear sword hum.

When he saw who it was, Li old freak was completely stunned. It wasn't a person who came, but a sword with a faint immortal aura.

"Hurt my young master, die!"

Seeing this scene, Li old freak was scared out of his wits.

"Chu Yun?"

Although his cultivation level is not high, he is not young either. He recognizes the Chuyun Sword, after all, Liu Shifei used this sword when she first became famous.

Just as the voice fell, another stream of light arrived late and transformed into a white-robed woman with a gourd-shaped figure.

Seeing Xia Fan's pale face in pain, Bai Yu spat out a burst of vibrant spiritual energy into his mouth, and soon the pain completely disappeared.

This is Bai Yu's ability. Although she doesn't have much attacking power, she naturally possesses medicinal properties in her body. Not only can she heal, but the water in her stomach even has the effect of restoring spiritual energy, similar to the effect of recovery pills.

"Young master, are you alright?"

Since following him, Bai Yu has gradually changed her way of addressing him. She used to call him "Little Husband," but now that he is no longer young, she has changed it to "Young Master" or "Master." He doesn't mind this change, as it's better than adding the word "little" in front.

Feeling the pain disappear, Xia Fan let out a sigh of relief and nodded at "Wuwa."

"Young brother, may I ask who the Patriarch of Mirror Moon Valley is?"

"I live in Mirror Moon Valley. What do you think?"

"Could it be the son of Liu Patriarch?"

Xia Fan: (╬▔皿▔)╯

"Chuyun, kill him for me!"

"Yes, young master!"

The immortal sword rang again, intending to strike the old man. She is just a sword. She doesn't care about the camaraderie among fellow disciples. She will strike whoever her master tells her to strike.

Seeing this, Lao Li quickly begged for mercy.

"Young master, young master, please spare me. I didn't know your identity. I offended you unknowingly. If I had known you were the son of Liu Patriarch, even if you gave me ten times the courage, I wouldn't dare!"

Xia Fan: (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

"You still dare to speak!"

"Chuyun, strike him harder!"

Chuyun Sword: ┗|｀O′|┛

Even if it's just a sword that has absorbed a trace of immortal energy, it surpasses the category of spiritual swords. Even without the master's manipulation, its strength is far beyond the Celestial Phenomenon realm. After all, it can't be smashed or broken. It will die if it hits, and it will be injured if it grazes.

Seeing that Lao Li is about to meet his end, Xiao Fengshan, who is beside him, realizes that this young man is truly angry and quickly advises him.

"Brother, brother, calm down. We don't need to stoop to this old monster's level. Let him compensate you with some top-grade spiritual pills and let it go!"

He never expected that Liu Shifei's sword would appear. If it were someone else, they would at most punish Lao Li a bit. But this is just a spirit of a weapon. As the saying goes, weapons have no eyes. It would be really frustrating if it were to be killed.

Even he silently mourns for the other party. The Demon Sect is so big, why provoke this ancestor? He hit an iron plate, no, he hit the Chuyun Sword.

"Young master, I'll compensate, I'll compensate. I beg you, please forgive me. Let me go. I'll use these two snakes to make wine for you. I'll also inform my sect leader. From now on, my Poison Peak Sect will provide you with all the resources for your cultivation!"

Lao Li dodges the immortal sword while begging for mercy. If it weren't for his wealth accumulated over the years and the numerous spiritual weapons he possesses, he would have died long ago.

Xia Fan: "You're the sect leader, your whole family is the sect leader, fuck you!"

Listening to his curses below, Chuyun Sword becomes even more enthusiastic. Whether it can advance to become an immortal sword in the future depends on this time.

"Brother, please spare him!"

"You also leave. I have nothing to do with a gambling poison like you!"
