As soon as I heard this familiar, sleazy intonation, the person's identity flashed through my mind. I pushed the car door aside and got out, "Yu Longting, I'm stepping out for a moment. It's those Three Stooges from the Ten Thousand Poison Hall again."
"You three are quite amusing. Getting burned wasn't enough, and now you want to flaunt yourselves in front of me?" I slowly pulled off the Begonia hairpin from my head. Keeping these Three-Headed Snakes alive was sure to be disastrous; there's no telling how many more lives they would harm.
They were blocking the road, likely to snatch a random passerby for a snack, but they had unwittingly shown off in front of me instead.
When the three heads of the Three-Headed Snake saw me, their dark, upright pupils suddenly dilated, filled with terror, "Not... her again, the female Demon Head, big brother, I'm scared. She's so brutal."
"Big brother, the wind's strong, retreat! Retreat! I don't want to become roasted snake."
"What's there to panic about? She's just a mortal; she can't outrun us."
The moment the Three-Headed Snake turned around, it greased its heels and slipped away.
I bit my lip, unleashing my spiritual power, "Don't even think about escaping."
A lotus bloomed under my feet, and I chased after them for a couple of steps.
I then realized that my strides couldn't compare to the distance Zhang Zidao covered, and I was rapidly left behind by the Three-Headed Snake.
Dammit, were they going to get away again?
"The Lady of the Snake Lord said you're not allowed to escape. You must stay still and meet your end," a cold voice said, as Beichen arrived in a sprint.
A whoosh, and he passed by my side, stopping two hundred meters in front of me, blocking the path of the Three-Headed Snake, "Die."
It seemed like he wanted to vent all his frustration on the Three-Headed Snake; Beichen's attack was relentless, almost to the point where a careless move would cost the creature its head.
"A weakling trying to stop us?"
"Are you out of your mind?"
"Kill him!"
With Beichen's efforts, it became clear that the Three-Headed Snake was indeed a master among masters.
They didn't even bother with Beichen's offense, drawing their soft swords from their sleeves, and lunged straight for Beichen's heart on his left side.
Yu Longting had approached me at some point, his arm hooking around my waist, "This kid's going to suffer a big loss. Even the Three-Headed Snake Dragon, once the number one expert under that old man, dared to challenge it. That's gutsy."
Thump!!
The sound of a body being pierced rang out as Beichen got skewered cleanly through.
The Three-Headed Snake hissed and laughed wickedly, then viciously stabbed their sword into Beichen's belly once more.
"Aren't you being too calm!! Beichen is injured," I panicked, ready to run after them and unleash heavenly fire.
My wrist was gripped by Yu Longting, who said, "If you don't want him to die of depression, don't meddle. A serious injury will ignite his will to live. At least his thoughts won't linger on a failed romance. This is fighting poison with poison..."
"Do you even have a heart? Let go of me, fight poison with poison my ass!" I was furious.
Looking ahead, Beichen lay in a pool of blood like a kite with its string cut, while the Three-Headed Snake, with their blood-dripping sword tip, glanced back at us with bloodthirsty satisfaction before turning to run.
"That's my snake corpse! The Snake Spirits of the Three-Headed Snake have taken over my snake corpse," Yun Hao stumbled out of the car, his eyes reddening as he roared emotionally, clearly agitated.
It was obvious that he truly cared about the lost snake corpse and was merely pretending to be unfazed.
A tightness gripped my heart, and I grew even more determined to catch the Three-Headed Snake. I spoke quickly to Yu Longting, "Husband, when I was in the Medicinal Pool, these Three-Headed Snakes suddenly appeared, trying to take liberties with me. They even said you were useless, that if they hadn't been pressed into the Serpent Domain, one of them would have become the Snake Lord... it would be them."
"Wife, why didn't you tell me sooner?"
Before I could finish, Yu Longting vanished in a blink.
In less than ten seconds, he returned, dragging the Three-Headed Snake back to me and carrying the blood-covered Beichen on his shoulder.
