Chapter 88: He’s Not Human

Chapter 88.1: He’s Not Human

It was so clear to see that it was such a pure and harmless smile but what that massive and malevolent looking lead snake head saw was a smile that was as terrifying as Hell.

[This human young lady….. Just who is she really? How could she possibly possess such a powerful and oppressive aura! ?]

From the moment that she appeared, the lead snake head started to feel a kind of fear that burned from deep within its soul, making it feel so frightened that it immediately wanted to seek to flee and scatter.

But at that moment, it was as if it was trapped within that shell of flesh, and no matter how hard it tried to struggle, it was still unable to escape. With the unbelievably fearful roars and the helpless struggling from the lead snake head, the other smaller snake heads were all also hissing incessantly in terror.

And the moment the young lady appeared, a series of events that happened caused everyone to be stunned in their spots.

She looked to be merely only slightly over ten years of age, so frail and weak looking. But that extraordinary air she commanded was impossible to disregard, a kind of nobility and power that she seemed to be born with, that every single one of them just unconsciously accepted and became irrecoverably convinced to believe.

The young lady in her white dress slowly came in closer to the monster of a man who was covered with countless snake heads, the enormous lead snake head’s almost ephemeral bronze bell sized eyes widening as it stared at her. The tinier snake heads below were so terrified they all drooped down, not moving an inch, except for a slight timid trembling, almost a little adorable to look at.

Qing Yu did not find it funny and said inwardly within in an emotionless voice. “Enough Little Burrow. Stop fooling around. It’s almost frightened to death by you already.”

[That’s a little too shameless. With the oppressive aura of a Divine Artifact of the Lost Ancients like yours, how can a insignificant shrimp like this possibly withstand it? Aren’t you bullying the weak here?]

Zang Mai sneered in contempt. “Okay okay. Who’s trying to scare them? So timid and they dare to come out and commit such a deed. This is just the low level lands afterall, if it had gone to the high leveled lands where divine beasts above the tenth grade roam all over the place, it would be crushed in a second without even a speck of it left behind.”

Qing Yu would naturally not have the ability to cause the lead snake head to be so helplessly frightened and the key to that was the fella inside her body instead.

Although it was a weapon spirit, the amazing thing was that Zang Mai was an extremely rare Divine Beast Weapon Spirit. Its original form was a Enormous Golden Rhino Python, of an absolute Emperor grade among beast types, and he had come to encounter a similar species today, so in terms of grading alone, he already overwhelmingly quashed the Dark Sovereign Snake.

“Hmm? This person is a little strange.” Zang Mai said suddenly in surprise.

“What is it?” Qing Yu asked as she turned to look. At that moment, the man was probably had his spirit energy completely depleted and had fainted, but looking at the features on his countenance, his flesh features did not look too bad.

But, is there something wrong?

“He’s not human.” The golden haired youth spat out those words with clear certainty.

Qing Yu was a little confused, and could not react to it for a moment. “Huh?”

[What did he mean….. by not human?]

“Mistress, do you know why that thing wants to take over his flesh body?” Zang Mai said as he clicked his tongue a couple of times, like he had just discovered something interesting.

“Inside this man….. Half of his blood’s lineage is of the snake tribe and the bloodline is of a rather high grade. This is why he has drawn this thing in, and I think it has coveted this flesh body for a long time, but had not succeeded all this time because the power of the man’s bloodline was too strong. It must have been in a situation when the man was in a very weak and frail state that it was able to take advantage of the lapse.”

“Bloodline of the snake tribe?” Qing Yu was a little surprised. “Then is he and Little Ye…..”

Since the beginning of time, the wolf tribe and the snake tribe….. had always been mortal enemies…..”

[So, should she save this person?]

“Mistress, when this man’s bloodline fully awakens in future, his ability will not be below that of that kid, Qing Ye Li’s. He might come to be of use to you.” Zang Mai then opened his mouth to suggest.

Chapter 88.2: He’s Not Human

“Hmm….. I didn’t think so much into it. Sigh~ Saving a life accumulates more good karma than erecting a seven storey pagoda anyway!” Qing Yu muttered helplessly, and then crouched herself down.

The ephemeral shadowy lead snake head had probably been so terrorized by Little Burrow’s oppressive aura that it had lost all ability to defend itself that it gave up on struggling any further and it was merely just waiting for death to come.

[It knows its own situation at least.]

Qing Yu curled up her lips, and a ball of golden red flame suddenly burned in her palm. She then formed a claw with her fingers and she clasped it over the man’s Spirit Heaven Lid, right on the top of his head.

The men from the Assassination Temple on the sides went pale with shock. Before they could even react, they saw the young lady retract her palm and her other hand quickly taking out a small transparent porcelain bottle. She hit the mouth of the bottle once and then immediately stoppered it.

The series of actions had all happened within a very short period of two breaths’ time.

Everyone then turned to look at the bottle in the young lady’s palm and saw a tiny ball of golden red flame inside swirling incessantly around a pitch black creature that was long and thin like an earthworm.

And upon the man lying on the floor, all the countless densely packed snake heads had already disappeared without a trace without any of them noticing it at all. Besides the blood covering his body all over, he had finally come to look like a human once again.

Qing Yu raised an eyebrow and looked at the speechless and flabbergasted men who looked like their souls had departed from their bodies before she said with a light laugh. “His body is alright now. You can take him away and clean him up. Let him soak in a bath with this as well.”

Upon saying that, she then tossed the bottle containing the little earthworm in her hand to Feng Qi standing right at the front.

He caught it instinctively and then stared at the writhing creature which had turned all red from being burnt before he asked: “What is this?”

Qing Yu could not help but smile. “The Dark Sovereign Snake’s original form. Snake Voodoo.”

Hearing that, Feng Qi almost threw the bottle right out from his hands in shock and he turned his wide eyed gaze to stare at her. “Soak in a bath….. with this ! ?”

“You have not heard me wrongly. Soak it in his bathwater. I have already refined it with elixir fire and it is now a form of medicine, which will now absorb the remaining toxins out of his body. It will become useless thereafter and it can be gotten rid of after that.” Qing Yu went on to explain.

“Thank you Miss for lending a helping hand. I wonder who the young Miss is…..”

Feng Qi had not even finished asking when the sound of a flurry of hurried footsteps reached them. Mu Chi came running in panting heavily. “How….. How is it…..”

It was only after he came in that he discovered that the man who had looked like a monster had reverted to his original state and the atmosphere was unbelievably quiet. “All settled?”

Qing Yu looked at him gasping heavily for breath and her phoenix like eyes raised slightly. “I asked you to come with me but you refused. Are you tired?”

“How would I know if you really meant it?” Mu Chi lamented with a mournful face.

Earlier when she was coming out from the Eternal Peace Duke Manor, after Qing Yu ascertained the location she had asked in suggestion, that she could bring him along to pass through dimensional space, which would save him quite a bit of time.

Mu Chi had instead given her a “you’ve got to be kidding” look indicating he did not believe a word of it. The skill of passing through dimensional space was something that only people from the high level lands were capable of and a very rare few in the middle level lands possessed that ability.

And unexpectedly, she had actually just disappeared from right before his eyes!

Mu Chi then felt that from the moment he came to know her, he had been constantly witnessing amazing things. Divine skills in Medicine, mysterious and unfathomable methods employed, high level skill like passing through dimensional space, and he does not know how many more secrets there were.

[She’s an absolute freak!]

Hearing the grouse filled tone in his voice, Qing Yu looked at him without any expression on her face. “I never make such superfluous statements.”

Mu Chi immediately wanted to vomit blood in that instant. [She’s so unbelievably self assured.]

Chapter 88.3: He’s Not Human

“Could you be the friend that Young Miss Mu mentioned about? The Elixir Cultivator with exquisite skills in Medicine?” When Feng Qi saw Mu Chi come in following right behind and the two of them were acting like they were familiar with each other, he was able to immediately guess the other party’s identity.

“That’s right. That’s her.” Another cold and emotionless female voice rang out.

That was when Qing Yu then noticed the person in black battle clothes, a tall and slender figured lady. She had been standing with her body slanted sideways, and now that she had turned her body, her face could now be seen fully.

That face wouldn’t be considered to be all that outstanding and could even be termed as ordinary looking, inconspicuous when placed among a crowd.But she was born with a pair of extremely beautiful eyes that rippled with autumn waters, sparkling and enchanting, which only lent an added outstanding quality to her otherwise rather plain countenance.

Demeanor cold and distant, who looked highly arrogant, hard for people to get close to.

But it was that haughty air and demeanor that made Qing Yu remember who that person was.

Her haughtiness was different from Yan Ning Luo’s cold indifference that made her seem like she did not even consume mortal food, but it was as if this lady had been born just like that, so proud and aloof that she could not bother herself with anyone at all, like no one was even worth her paying them any notice. Hence that unlikeable personality caused her to have bad affinity with people, where she could not claim to have any friends that she could even talk to at all.

But people with this kind of personality were also highly extreme. Either they viewed everything with nothing but contempt, but when they cared about a particular person, they would dig down deep into their hearts and offer everything they had to the person, regardless of what it would cost them, they would do it with no regrets.

Because for people with such a personality, a close friend was hard to come by, and anyone that they came to care about, was extremely rare to them as well.

She had said that she did not have any friends, but for Qing Yu, this was the only friend she recognized as her own.

Qing Yu remembered that it was roughly about four years ago when she was still cracking her head on how she was going to treat Little Bei’s legs.

The Polar Core Fire was something once could chance upon but never to seek. She had almost scourged through all the most terrifying and dangerous places throughout the lands and it was one of those times that she encountered a bunch of people being attacked by a rarely seen seventh grade spirit beast.

She was only ten years old then, and the oldest one among that bunch was about eighteen. She still remembered how the bunch of people had wanted to draw the attention of the seventh grade spirit beast away for them to escape, and they had dumped a little young girl there.

She had initially not wanted to stick her nose into other people’s business but when she saw how weak and frail that little young girl was, but her eyes burned with an indescribably vicious bloodthirstiness even when the spirit beast was a hundred times larger in size. She did not stop fighting the beast despite the fact her body was all covered with wounds that were bleeding freely.

Upon seeing that she was finally about to be completely drained out and devoured by the beast, and Qing Yu had thought that the little girl had given up on struggling, the little girl then used every last ounce of strength in her body as she tensed up, driving the dagger hidden in her sleeve down in a vicious thrust that stabbed the massive beast blind. That completely infuriated the enormous beast and its sharp claws reached out, about to tear her to shreds.

It was right in that instant that Qing Yu was moved by the little girl, where she moved to rescue the little girl from under the massive beast’s claws. She shot the golden needles coated with lethal poison she carried on her into the beast’s body, and its gargantuan body then suddenly crashed to the ground, killed by poison.

Qing Yu bandaged the little girl’s wounds, and all throughout that, the little girl’s clear and cold eyes did not leave Qing Yu at all.

She then said: “Those people are my siblings from the family clan I grew up in. When I tried my best to protect them, they all then turned around and used me as prey, abandoning me completely.”

“Besides my Father, no one has ever treated me as nicely as you have. From now onwards, you are a friend of Mu Lai’s, my one and only friend.”

One and only….. friend.

Qing Yu was taken aback by the serious tone of the little girl’s voice a moment before her mouth then split into a smile. “I am highly honoured. My name is Qing Yu.”
