I started by controlling his master, and the protagonist begged me to slow down my kicking.

Five days later.

Outer gate, Taichu Mountain Range.

As dawn broke, Cheng Ran arrived at the foot of the mountain.

Looking at the vast green mountains, he couldn't help but yawn.

For the past five days, he has been in seclusion, diligently cultivating in order to consolidate his cultivation level, which has consumed a great deal of his energy.

Moreover, he woke up very early today at the hour of Yin (3-5 AM).

I'm as sleepy as I am during my 8 a.m. class.

But there's nothing we can do about it!

After all, today's mission was to seize that Golden Condensation Pill, so he dared not be negligent in the slightest!

What if I oversleep?

The Golden Elixir fell into the hands of Ye Chen, the protagonist of destiny...

That would fucking blow up!

"Cheng Ran? What are you doing here?"

Just then, a cry of surprise rang in my ears.

Turning around to look in the direction of the sound, they saw Ye Chen, who had already arrived.

Ye Chen was very puzzled at this moment.

He had originally thought that today was a mission he and Senior Sister Mu would be carrying out together.

Who would have thought that Cheng Ran would also be there!

After all, he hadn't seen that bastard in the peak since he asked Cheng Ran to pass on a message to Mu Yunxi.

Moreover, Cheng Ran was not seen on the day the master gave the order.

He thought Cheng Ran had been confined by his master!

"What? You're not welcoming me?"

Cheng Ran ignored Ye Chen's ill intentions and instead patted him on the shoulder:

"No matter what, I went to protect Senior Sister Mu in your place, Junior Brother. Your attitude really breaks my heart."

"I even personally handed the letter you wrote to Senior Sister Mu!"

Senior Sister Mu...

Upon hearing those three words...

Ye Chen suddenly became lost in thought.

He couldn't help but recall the way Mu Yunxi had treated him coldly five days ago.

My heart aches faintly.

In fact.

This is why he arrived at the foot of the mountain so early today!

He must take advantage of this mission to kill that monster and ease the tension between himself and his sister Yunxi!

Thinking this through, he looked intently at the scoundrel before him and said:

"Cheng Ran, I'm warning you in advance, don't try to take advantage of the situation today."

"I know you never take the Holy Land's missions seriously, and you always just go through the motions when you go on a mission."

"But as you know, this mission is related to demonic beasts and is extremely important. Now that you're here, do your job well."

"Don't embarrass me and Senior Sister Mu!"

Cheng Ran listened to his words, but only nodded perfunctorily.

He smiled meaningfully and said, "Of course, since I've come to do this mission, I will do my best."

"Heh, you'd better be."

Ye Chen said something indifferently, then turned his head away and ignored Cheng Ran.

In fact, it didn't matter to him whether Cheng Ran gave it her all or not.

Anyway, he's just a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator!

What good will it do to go all out?

The ones who can truly defeat the demon beasts are, of course, him and his sister Yunxi!

Yunxi's strength goes without saying; she's ranked first on the Qingyun Ranking.

As for myself.

Although it's only at the Qi Refining Realm.

However, if I do the math, Elder Fu should wake up today!

With Elder Fu's help, my strength will certainly not be weaker than the third level of the Core Formation Realm!

This is why he was so confident that he could defeat the monster and successfully show off.

Hmph, you didn't expect that, did you!

I have an old man!

As for Cheng Ran, that scoundrel without a grandfather, you should just stay away from him.

Thinking of this, Ye Chen wiped his nose and a confident Dragon King smile appeared on his lips.

Yunxi, get ready to watch your brother Ye's performance today!

......

Soon, the two were greeted by Mu Yunxi's arrival.

Today, Mu Yunxi was still wearing that moon-white Taoist dress. Under the frost-colored gauze, one could vaguely see her towering breasts.

Those jade-like legs, beneath the pair of translucent white silk stockings, were clad in strappy high-toothed shoes.

She was truly graceful and elegant!

Just then, the simp made his move.

"Yunxi! You've arrived!"

It seems to be because of seeing Mu Yunxi.

Ye Chen immediately changed his expression from a stern one to a smiling one and went to greet him.

But Mu Yunxi wasn't buying it.

She didn't give Ye Chen a friendly look, but simply nodded calmly:

"Um."

Cheng Ran found this amusing.

It's a pity there are no playing cards in this world.

Otherwise, he would have had to dig out Ye Chen's ID card and a copy.

He slowly stepped out from behind Ye Chen, a half-smile on his face, and said:

"Alright, now that Senior Sister Mu has arrived, let's not delay and go find the disciple in charge of receiving us."

What are you doing here?

Upon seeing Cheng Ran's sudden appearance, Mu Yunxi's peach blossom eyes trembled slightly.

She clearly did not see the lecherous thief in the Biluo Palace that day!

Moreover, in recent days, this lecherous thief has seemed to have vanished, and hasn't appeared in the peak at all!

She thought the lecherous thief had been struck dead by lightning as some kind of divine punishment...

Cheng Ran simply smiled.

He pushed aside Ye Chen, who was standing there stunned, and walked to Mu Yunxi's side.

Then, he whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear:

"Senior sister, do you really not want to see your master?"

"Who are you...?"

Mu Yunxi was instinctively angry that Cheng Ran dared to tease her like this.

But she glanced at Ye Chen beside her, and finally let out a long sigh, regaining her cool and aloof expression:

"Fine, I won't argue with you."

But seeing her like this only fueled Cao Cao's excitement.

Taking advantage of Ye Chen's momentary lapse in attention, he brought his lips close to Mu Yunxi's ear and whispered:

"Senior Sister Mu, Master really likes your stubbornness."

"you!"

Mu Yunxi clenched her jade-like hands tightly.

They were about to draw their swords and confront each other.

Suddenly, another female voice came from behind.

"Greetings, senior brothers and sisters!"

The group turned around and immediately saw the outer sect disciples responsible for patrolling the mountain.

The female disciple saw the three of them turn around.

They couldn't help but exclaim in surprise:

"Senior Sister Mu?!"

"Senior Brother Cheng?!"

"Ye Chen..."

Although she was an outer disciple.

However, I have heard of some of the well-known disciples in the inner sect.

Mu Yunxi goes without saying; she's ranked first on the Qingyun Ranking and fourth on the Beauty Ranking. She's beautiful and skilled in martial arts, and is her idol.

Cheng Ran was also somewhat famous, with a handsome face, and was the most handsome man in the Holy Land.

As for Ye Chen...

Ha ha!

A good-for-nothing who entered the inner sect through connections, but whose cultivation level is only at the Qi Refining Realm!

The Holy Land has made a complete disgrace!

"Cough cough..."

After silently grumbling to herself, the female disciple looked up and glanced at Cheng Ran.

Then, her cheeks flushed red, she said:

"Senior brothers and sisters, let me tell you about the recent situation in the mountains."

Ye Chen rubbed his nose, thinking his junior sister was looking at him:

"Then I'll have to trouble you, junior sister."

Bah! What are you pretending for, you piece of trash!

What an ordinary guy!

The outer sect junior sister's face instantly turned gloomy.

She glared at Ye Chen fiercely before continuing her explanation:

"The earliest was six days ago, when a junior sister went to patrol the mountain, but she didn't return until evening."

"We all found it very strange, so the next day we decided to go to the mountains to take a look, and that's when we found her body on the back of the mountain."

"We were terrified, so we reported it to the elders of the Holy Land."

"After examining the junior sister's injuries, the elders of the Holy Land reached a conclusion—"

"This monster is a snake demon."

Is there a snake demon in this area?

Upon hearing this, Cheng Ran frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

Because his goal has always been to become an immortal and seek enlightenment, Cheng Ran has read many ancient books since childhood in this life.

Naturally, there are many records related to various monsters.

It can yield the Golden Elixir...

Another snake demon...

A demonic creature involuntarily surfaced in Cheng Ran's mind—

Flame Serpent!

This snake demon contains the main ingredient for making the Golden Condensation Pill.

It is the material used for traveling throughout Kyushu.

Of course, this snake demon is not a monster that can be easily defeated.

It is not only treacherous and cunning, but also likes to ambush unsuspecting opponents.

They were also very skilled at using poison.

especially--

Lewd poison!

Thinking of this, a wicked thought suddenly arose in Cheng Ran's mind.

He cupped his hands in a respectful greeting and smiled:

"Thank you for the reminder, junior sister."

"No, it's alright, it's what I should do..."

When the outer sect junior sister saw that it was Cheng Ran speaking, her face flushed red, and she was somewhat flustered:

"This monster is said to be extremely powerful, so please be careful, Senior Brother Cheng and Senior Sister Mu!"

"Alright, let's leave the rest to our senior brothers and sisters."

Cheng Ran continued gently.

However, as he finished speaking, his gaze fell upon the graceful Mu Yunxi standing beside him.

Extremely evil.

The snake demon is fond of ambushes and is also adept at releasing venomous poisons.

In this situation, what would this shameless traitor Cao do in order to lure the snake out of its hole?

That's so hard to guess.
