Chapter 96: Extreme One-for-One Trade

" Hiss! "

Qin Xuan winced in pain, his brows knitting slightly. The moment his palm instinctively loosened, the small snake turned into a streak of light and vanished instantly.

" Young Master Qin! " Shangguan Ying held Qin Xuan's palm nervously, looking at the wound on the web of his hand where the small snake's fangs had pierced, and said in a panic, " You're hurt! "

Qin Xuan didn't care at all, " This small wound will heal in a few breaths. "

Shangguan Si's beautiful eyes flickered as she spoke, " I fear it is not as simple as you think, Young Master Qin. That small snake is entirely golden; it is likely the legendary Golden Scale Snake. "

" This snake is extremely fast; even for a Saint, trying to capture it is as difficult as ascending to heaven. "

" The more blood the Golden Scale Snake absorbs, the more golden its scales become, and the more potent the toxins in its body. Once bitten by a Golden Scale Snake, if the venom takes effect, one will die suddenly within the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, unless helped by a Dao Companion! "

She had once seen records of this Golden Scale Snake in ancient texts.

It was almost extinct.

She never expected that this kind of Golden Scale Snake would appear in the Dragon Blood Secret Realm.

One must know that even those in the Saint Realm can hardly resist the venom of the Golden Scale Snake.

If the poison is not neutralized in time, even a Saint Realm expert will perish!

Qin Xuan waved his hand dismissively and laughed, " Is it really as exaggerated as you say? "

The next instant, his expression changed wildly, his brows furrowed tightly, and he clutched his chest with both hands, falling backward uncontrollably as foam continuously bubbled from his mouth.

Shangguan Si rushed forward in a panic, supporting Qin Xuan's body.

She said to the Heavenly Human Realm guards not far away, " Go quickly and search for the Golden Scale Snake; its gallbladder is the antidote! "

To neutralize the Golden Scale Snake's poison, there are only two methods: one is to obtain the snake's gallbladder, and the other is...

More than ten guards quickly scattered like birds and beasts to search for the tracks of the Golden Scale Snake.

Watching Qin Xuan, who was convulsing in her arms with foam pouring crazily from his mouth, Shangguan Si's beautiful eyes were filled with panic.

She instructed Shangguan Ying, " You stay here and look after Young Master Qin; I will also go search for the Golden Scale Snake. "

One more person searching means one more glimmer of hope!

Handing Qin Xuan over to her sister, Shangguan Si also rushed in the direction where the Golden Scale Snake had vanished.

" Young Master Qin, don't scare me; you must not have anything happen to you! "

Shangguan Ying hugged Qin Xuan's body tightly, tears streaming down her face.

Hot teardrops fell plop, plop onto Qin Xuan's face, immediately emitting a sizzling sound.

At this moment, Qin Xuan's face was flushed red, like a steamed crab.

The moment the bean-sized teardrops hit him, they were evaporated by the high heat.

Feeling Qin Xuan's body temperature rising sharply, Shangguan Ying, a young girl long confined to the inner chambers, had never encountered such a crisis before.

She was as panicked as a frightened little rabbit, her delicate body trembling uncontrollably.

" Why hasn't Sister returned yet? The time it takes to drink a cup of tea is almost up! " Shangguan Ying kept turning her head, longing to see her sister's figure, but saw nothing.

In the open area, there were only her and Qin Xuan's figures, along with corpses covering the ground.

Shangguan Ying wiped away her tears. Her watery, large eyes were filled with determination as she looked at Qin Xuan's flushed face and gritted her teeth, " I won't let you die, definitely not! "

In her eyes, she had already decided that Young Master Qin was her future husband.

Nothing could change that.

She would only recognize one person in her life!

She had just heard her sister say that as long as there was help from a Dao Companion, the snake venom could be neutralized.

That meant Dual Cultivation!

Hu—

Shangguan Ying exhaled a breath. If it weren't for Young Master Qin saving her, she would have already lost her innocence.

Since Qin Xuan was her future husband, why couldn't she give herself to him now to save his life!?

With this realization growing in her heart, Shangguan Ying leaned over and kissed Qin Xuan's face with heartache.

First his forehead, then the tip of his nose, then his lips.

It was just a light peck like a dragonfly skimming the water, one after another.

Qin Xuan, in her arms, became increasingly flushed; it was unclear whether the Golden Scale Snake's venom had invaded his internal organs, or if he was being angered by Shangguan Ying.

Of course, this could not be blamed on Shangguan Ying.

It was not that she was unwilling to save him, but that she truly did not understand!

It must be known that Shangguan Ying had previously always been sheltered in the inner chambers of the Shangguan Family, and had never even had a friend from the outside world.

She only interacted with people from her clan.

Her knowledge of the outside world relied entirely on those storybooks and picture books.

Moreover, these storybooks and picture books had been carefully screened by Shangguan Si.

Anything with inappropriate content was all filtered out.

This led to Shangguan Ying knowing about Dual Cultivation and knowing about the state of innocence, but she didn't understand how to break it!

She only kissed Qin Xuan superficially.

As pure as a blank sheet of paper.

" What is wrong? "

Shangguan Ying suddenly noticed the changes in Qin Xuan's body and curiously reached out, wanting to check.

Just at this moment, a hand chop struck down from behind.

Neither too light nor too heavy, it knocked Shangguan Ying unconscious.

" It is fortunate that I returned in time, and it is fortunate that Yingying does not understand Dual Cultivation; otherwise, everything would be over! "

The person who knocked Shangguan Ying unconscious was none other than Shangguan Si, who had returned after leaving.

Her beautiful eyes stared intently at Qin Xuan, whose heart was under attack by the snake venom.

She sighed faintly.

How could she not know that finding the Golden Scale Snake was just a beautiful, extravagant hope?

The Golden Scale Snake was extremely fast and knew how to camouflage itself.

Trying to capture it was as difficult as ascending to heaven.

But she was unwilling to give up!

Just as she was unwilling to accept the manipulations of fate!

She wanted to struggle, she wanted to resist!

However, the reality was ultimately cruel; she hadn't even found a shadow of the Golden Scale Snake and could only return alone.

If she had been one step later, her sister would inevitably have sacrificed herself to save Qin Xuan.

" The Shangguan Family owes you, and I owe you too, but Yingying is too young; she still has a bright future. This debt of gratitude should not be repaid by her. "

Shangguan Si shook her head bitterly.

It seemed as if she were lamenting her own fate.

Escaping the shadow of the Tianya Sword Pavilion.

Yet she ultimately could not escape this fate.

She, Shangguan Si, had been controlled by fate from beginning to end, unable to escape the destiny of sacrificing her own innocence!

She could resist Long Chen, and could slap Long Chen countless times, but when facing the poisoned Qin Xuan, she could not turn a blind eye.

Qin Xuan had come for her Shangguan Family, and it was also to save her that he had been bitten by the Golden Scale Snake.

If she stood by and watched him die, it would be ingratitude.

Qin Xuan had shown such immense kindness to her Shangguan Family; how could she forget that gratitude?

" Why must you also be a person manipulated by fate? Why can't you just live? "

" Why must I be subjected to the fate of living as a widow? "

Shangguan Si lamented mournfully.

In her eyes, Qin Xuan was always surrounded by crisis.

With Innate Nether Eyes, he could see through crises.

And Qin Xuan was the one who walked on the edge of danger at every moment.

Not to mention other troubles, just the Aristocratic Families outside the Dragon Blood Secret Realm—who would let Qin Xuan off?

Once he left the Dragon Blood Secret Realm, Qin Xuan would not only have to face the encirclement and suppression of the Aristocratic Families, but also the pursuit of the Ning Prince Mansion.

It was a certain death situation.

" Forget it; at the very least, I should repay you for your kindness, and it will also allow Yingying to escape the manipulations of fate. "

" That is enough. "

Shangguan Si ultimately could not escape the torment in her heart.

Witnessing Qin Xuan suffering from the snake venom, Shangguan Si slowly stepped forward, preparing everything to neutralize the poison.
