Chapter 189 Jin Ping'er's Wronged Feelings

The next day, early in the morning, as the morning light illuminated this death swamp, the still somewhat gloomy forest mist seemed to gain a bit more brightness.

Jin Ping'er slowly woke up, but felt a chill on her neck. The next moment, she vaguely sensed something and trembled involuntarily. She wanted to carefully turn her head to look.

"call out!"

A whooshing sound suddenly rang out, and then a sky-blue divine sword flew past Jin Ping'er's cheek and stuck straight into a tree.

Immediately, a faint smell of blood wafted over, and Jin Ping'er also felt a warm sensation on her shoulder.

Turning her head and looking closely, Jin Ping'er's pupils suddenly contracted. She saw a venomous snake with a colorful body pinned to a tree trunk by the divine sword, the blade piercing through the snake's head.

"call!"

Jin Ping'er breathed a sigh of relief, but a sense of lingering fear welled up in her heart. That snake was clearly a highly venomous creature; if she had been bitten by it, she might have been in mortal danger.

"Qiang!"

Lu Xueqi took two steps forward, raised her hand and drew the Tianya Sword, flung the poisonous snake away, glanced at Jin Ping'er, and then walked to the side.

Jin Ping'er turned her head and saw that there was a campfire nearby, with a stone pot on it that seemed to have appeared out of nowhere. A faint fragrance wafted from the fire, mingling with the scent of the forest plants.

"The forest is damp, filled with miasma, and teeming with poisonous insects; it is not suitable for drinking or lighting fires."

As Zhang Xiaofan spoke, he couldn't help but look up at Jin Ping'er, and then urged her softly.

"Let's have some medicinal soup, and then we should set off."

There were unusual phenomena yesterday, and now, along the way, we have hardly encountered any members of the Demonic Cult. If nothing unexpected happens, Wanrenwang should have led everyone directly to the deepest part.

As for Jin Ping'er, Qin Wuyan, and the others, Wan Renwang only asked them to cause some commotion outside and, incidentally, stop some people.

After all, Wanrenwang cherished the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury to the extreme, and since Qingyun Sect hadn't mobilized too many people, Wanrenwang naturally didn't want too many people to get involved. If they ruined his plan, things would be bad.

Upon hearing this, Jin Ping'er rolled her eyes at Zhang Xiaofan and then spoke in a coquettish tone.

"Master Zhang, this young lady almost lost her life to a snake venomous bite. Can't you even show some concern instead of saying such unpleasant things?"

"What do you want me to say?"

Zhang Xiaofan couldn't help but ask a question in return. After a pause, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he said softly.

"Indeed, the fairy is incredibly alluring. There are almost no creatures in the mortal world who cannot resist your charm. For example, that venomous snake that was perched on your shoulder just now stared at you for a full half hour!"

Jin Ping'er had been listening very attentively, and even had a smile on her lips, but as she listened, her expression suddenly changed.

The thought of that colorful venomous snake perched on her shoulder, staring intently at her neck, and flicking its tongue from time to time terrified Jin Ping'er, who screamed loudly.

"Ah!!! Zhang Xiaofan!"

A slight smile appeared on Lu Xueqi's lips, and a hint of satisfaction appeared in her eyes as she looked at Zhang Xiaofan. She then spoke to Jin Ping'er in a deep voice.

"That's enough! Be careful not to attract even more poisonous creatures from the forest!"

Jin Ping'er glared fiercely at Zhang Xiaofan, realizing that this world-renowned sword immortal was actually such a despicable fellow in private.

"Hmph!" After snorting, Jin Ping'er walked over angrily, then snatched the spoon from Zhang Xiaofan's hand and scooped up a small spoonful of the medicinal soup.

Lu Xueqi raised an eyebrow and was about to speak when Zhang Xiaofan reached out and grabbed her hand. Lu Xueqi blushed slightly at the sight.

Although they were husband and wife, Lu Xueqi had always been aloof and rarely showed such affection in front of outsiders.

But soon, Lu Xueqi noticed the smile in Zhang Xiaofan's eyes, and immediately understood. Her heart warmed slightly, clearly realizing that he was helping her get revenge for the anger she had suffered at the hands of Jin Ping'er.

Although Lu Xueqi had personally vented her anger on Jin Ping'er and gotten her revenge, that was something she won herself. Now, Zhang Xiaofan, her husband, was helping her vent her anger, so it was a completely different matter.

Jin Ping'er smelled the faint, refreshing fragrance, narrowed her eyes, and with anticipation, drank the small spoonful of medicinal soup in one gulp.

However, the next moment, Jin Ping'er's expression changed, and she felt a strong fishy smell surge up, causing her stomach to churn.

"Pfft! Ugh!"

After spitting out the medicinal soup, Jin Ping'er couldn't help but vomit even more violently.

After vomiting several times, Jin Ping'er finally recovered and turned to look at Zhang Xiaofan. Just as she was about to question him, she saw Zhang Xiaofan staring at her with a half-smile.

Jin Ping'er immediately understood that Zhang Xiaofan must have done it on purpose. She was furious and pretended to be slightly aggrieved.

“Master Zhang, why bother? If you don’t like me, you can just say so, and I will leave.”

"Come and sit."

Seeing that Jin Ping'er was still causing trouble, Zhang Xiaofan's face showed a hint of helplessness, and he couldn't help but speak up.

Jin Ping'er was delighted to see this, but her face still showed some bitterness, as if she had suffered a great injustice. She carefully sat down next to Zhang Xiaofan.

"Help her wipe the blood off."

Zhang Xiaofan handed a damp cloth to Lu Xueqi. After taking it, Lu Xueqi did not throw it directly to Jin Ping'er, but instead wiped the bloodstains on her shoulder.

Jin Ping'er felt a warmth in her heart and was feeling quite pleased with herself when she heard Zhang Xiaofan say something.

"The poisonous insects and ferocious beasts in the forest are extremely sensitive to the smell of blood. After we finish the medicinal soup, we should set off as soon as possible."

As he spoke, Zhang Xiaofan casually smashed open two fruits beside him and poured the juice into them.

As the liquid entered the stone pot, a fragrant aroma immediately wafted out. Out of curiosity, Jin Ping'er couldn't help but peek inside, only to find a long, coiled dragon-shaped object inside the stone pot.

Jin Ping'er's face turned pale instantly, realizing that this so-called medicinal soup was clearly snake soup. No wonder it tasted so fishy, ​​which made Jin Ping'er hesitate for a moment.

Just as Jin Ping'er hesitated, she suddenly heard a 'squeak' sound coming from above. Looking up, she saw a gray monkey standing on a tree branch, making faces at her as if trying to scare her.

"Little Gray said you took its spot."

Jin Ping'er glared at Xiao Hui, trying to intimidate him. However, Xiao Hui was not afraid of her at all. Instead, he jumped onto Zhang Xiaofan's shoulder and slipped into his arms.

The next moment, Jin Ping'er saw the gray monkey holding a bamboo flute and gesturing at her.
