Chapter 421: Chapter 221: I Want You to Keep Me Safe (Part 3)

While it was writing, it caught sight of the Dragon Bone Bow on Jiang Feng and the Qinglong Cauldron being worn as a helmet on his head, making its tone change slightly.

But the meaning between the lines was clear: it was telling Jiang Feng not to even think about using the Dragon Bone Bow and Qinglong Cauldron to force it to become his spirit pet. If he really insisted, it would rather die than obey.

"Just do as I say and help me survive this ordeal. When it’s over, I’ll let you go."

Jiang Feng said.

He never intended to force the Little Cyan Snake to be his spirit pet. First, he didn’t think it would be that easy. Second, he worried that if he pushed the snake too far, there might be a lose-lose ending.

Even though the Dragon Bone Bow could restrain it.

There was no guarantee the desperate Little Cyan Snake wouldn’t come up with some unknown deadly move.

"Alright, it’s a deal."

The Little Cyan Snake’s eyes lit up, and it left another line in the air.

But deep down, it was grumbling, knowing humans are full of lies. It still had to find a chance to escape and absolutely couldn’t trust Jiang Feng’s nonsense.

"First, help me shake off those Divine Sect leeches."

Jiang Feng ordered.

"Whoosh!"

The Little Cyan Snake became a blurry shadow, darting forward.

Jiang Feng activated his body technique, following tightly behind the Little Cyan Snake. With his current strength and the Three-legged Body Technique, the Little Cyan Snake might be slightly faster at close range, but for long treks, there was no way it could lose him.

With the Dragon Bone Bow in hand, the Little Cyan Snake couldn’t get away and didn’t dare run off right under his nose.

It led Jiang Feng as they dodged group after group of Divine Sect disciples.

They ran from Southern Turkic to Southern Great Tang, arriving in Jingzhou City—famous in the Great Tang for holding back the Blood Wolf Pack.

The Little Cyan Snake coiled around Jiang Feng’s wrist.

It looked just like a jade bracelet on Jiang Feng’s hand.

Jiang Feng found a spot to rest in the commoners’ district.

First, he checked his attribute panel.

Name: Jiang Feng

Fortune: 1,785,633

Cultivation Technique: Yangchun Technique (Perfection)

Skills: Flame Saber (Mastery+) Wind Control (Mastery+)

Realm: Qi Condensation (Sixth Layer)

Divine Power: Immortality

Jiang Feng was shocked to discover that after leaving the Divine Sect Mansion, killing Liu Chen, shaking off the Saintess, capturing the Little Cyan Snake, and entering Little Sheep City in Southern Turkic—then escaping with the snake’s help, dodging the Divine Sect’s pursuit, and returning to Jingzhou City—his Fortune Points had actually risen to nearly 1.8 million.

He knew that after getting away from the Divine Sect Mansion, slipping out right under the Saintess’ nose, and capturing the Little Cyan Snake, his Fortune Points had gone up by more than six hundred thousand.

The rest, over a million, came from successfully escaping Southern Turkic and evading the Divine Sect’s pursuit.

"Where do you think I should hide so I can really lose those damn Divine Sect people?"

Jiang Feng looked softly at the Little Cyan Snake.

If it hadn’t been for the Little Cyan Snake’s help, just relying on the Qinglong Cauldron’s aura, he would’ve found it nearly impossible to break through the Divine Sect disciples’ siege.

The Divine Sect really wanted to catch him. Not only did the Saintess come herself, but many disciples were sent as well, surrounding Southern Turkic and tightening the net.

If the Little Cyan Snake hadn’t known the disciples’ cultivation technique aura and helped him avoid group after group, Jiang Feng wouldn’t be able to stand here in Jingzhou City now.

So Jiang Feng definitely couldn’t let the Little Cyan Snake escape.

The Little Cyan Snake stood upright like a chopstick. At his question, its expression looked like it was scratching its head, as if seriously considering Jiang Feng’s problem.

It was obvious it hoped to help Jiang Feng escape alive.

And regain its own freedom.

"Dragon Capital Underground Palace."

In the end, it wrote down those four words.

"Are you trying to get me killed?"

Jiang Feng’s face turned dark. He remembered the Little Cyan Snake had said before that even hiding in the Underground Palace, the Divine Sect’s Celestial Calculation Divine Heir could still find him.

Although the Little Cyan Snake had helped him shake off the disciples and escape Southern Turkic, Jiang Feng didn’t fully trust it.

What kind of place was the Dragon Capital Underground Palace?

Leaving aside if he could get in at all.

First, it was the Emperor of the Great Tang’s turf. Second, the Divine Sect experts were trying to seize the tomb too. If Jiang Feng hid there right now, wasn’t he just walking right into the Divine Sect’s trap?

"The restriction array in the Dragon Capital Underground Palace is very special. Only if you hide there and use the Qinglong Cauldron will you be able to counter the Divine Sect’s Celestial Calculation Divine Skill."

"Unless the Divine Sect’s Celestial Calculation Divine Heir is willing to risk dying from backlash to find you, there’s no way you’ll be found easily."

The Little Cyan Snake explained.

"With so many people digging up the Underground Palace, what if someone else finds me?"

Jiang Feng snorted coldly.

"I know a safe place. I can take you there."

The Little Cyan Snake quickly replied.

"Fine, you must stick with me. I want you to keep me safe!"

Jiang Feng hesitated, but decided to give it a try—it was just that the Divine Sect’s Celestial Calculation Divine Skill was too absurd, able to find him even in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, so there was no way Jingzhou City would stay safe for long.

Also, he wanted to rescue Han Dong and Uncle Huo’s family. But that needed a long-term plan; he couldn’t act rashly.

As long as he didn’t show himself carelessly, Han Dong and Uncle Huo’s family shouldn’t be in mortal danger.

Besides, with both the Divine Sect and the Emperor of the Great Tang trying to take the Underground Palace, Jiang Feng was extremely curious about what was inside. If he could seize the chance to grab some opportunities, that would be perfect.

Of course, staying alive was the priority for now.

If he didn’t have to, Jiang Feng wouldn’t risk anything recklessly.

"Uh..."

The Little Cyan Snake pulled a face—did this mean Jiang Feng had no intention of letting it go?

"Don’t worry, as long as the Divine Sect stops hunting me, I’ll let you go. I’ll be leaving Dragon Capital too, so we’re not likely to meet again."

Jiang Feng soothed.

"Mm, I’ll think of a way to get you out of the Divine Sect’s pursuit."

The Little Cyan Snake wrote a line in midair and nodded to Jiang Feng.

It was all smiles on the surface, but secretly scoffed: "Humans, oh humans, you’re far too naïve. Once we’re underground in Dragon Capital, that’s my turf. Let’s see what you can possibly do to me then?"

The Little Cyan Snake started thinking about its mischievous companions.

It figured it could have some fun with Jiang Feng.

When the time came, call for its buddies—even if Jiang Feng had the Dragon Bone Bow, he wouldn’t be able to do anything easily.

As a century-old Great Demon, the Little Cyan Snake would never let itself be bossed around by Jiang Feng.
