After the True Heiress Travels Back-Chapter 974: Skinning and Extracting Tendons, The Whole Body is Treasured

Chapter 974: Chapter 974: Skinning and Extracting Tendons, The Whole Body is Treasured

Hearing that she was just asking questions and not trying to take his life, Wo Hezhe breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately, he said obsequiously, "The Giant Python Demon King is the Left Protector of the Son of the Demon God. He is quite favored by the Son of the Demon God. If you, my lord, really feel like venting out, I suggest you take action against him."

Seeing her not reacting, Wo Hezhe added a few more words to verify the authenticity of his statements.

"My lord, I swear everything I’m telling you is true! Don’t be fooled by the Giant Python’s current inactivity; he’s actually quite excessive, he..."

Listening to Wo Hezhe recount the Giant Python’s misdeeds in detail, especially his cruelty in slaughtering humans.

The actions of the Giant Python were already enough to provoke dissatisfaction.

With Wo Hezhe’s artistic use of language, it sounded even more infuriating.

"My lord, you must think he’s gone too far as well!"

Wo Hezhe kept egging Shi Yaoguang on to take action against the Giant Python, "Such a wicked creature, not killing it would not satisfy the people’s anger!"

"You’re right," Shi Yaoguang uncharacteristically agreed.

Wo Hezhe sighed in relief, only to hear Shi Yaoguang say, "You go and kill it."

Wo Hezhe: "??"

He looked at Shi Yaoguang in bewilderment, wondering if he was hearing things.

If it wasn’t a hallucination, why did he hear the boss make such an unreasonable request?

If he had the ability to kill the Giant Python, would he still be acting so cowardly?

He would have already risen to power!

However...

Shi Yaoguang didn’t give him the chance to explain.

Telling him to act was telling him to act.

Without the slightest hesitation.

Even if he wanted to explain, Shi Yaoguang wouldn’t listen; she snapped her fingers, and suddenly he felt a weight in his hand, now holding a dagger of unknown material.

"With this, you can easily kill the Giant Python."

Upon hearing this, Wo Hezhe didn’t hesitate for a moment and directly flew toward the Giant Python’s vulnerable spot.

As he approached the Giant Python, the dagger seemed to react, growing significantly larger.

Five minutes later.

"Boom——"

The massive creature collapsed, stirring up clouds of dust.

Wo Hezhe was dazed.

Staring at the enormous serpent body lying on the ground, he was stunned.

He couldn’t believe he had so effortlessly taken care of the Giant Python.

Seeing him still in a daze, Shi Yaoguang straightforwardly instructed him to dig out the serpent’s gallbladder.

Wo Hezhe numbly complied.

Seeing he was doing well, Shi Yaoguang continued directing him to skin the serpent.

Wo Hezhe: "..."

Though it felt inappropriate to be turned into a laborer,

Thinking about how the mighty weapon Shi Yaoguang casually handed him could easily take down the Left Protector of the Son of the Demon God, he suddenly felt balanced inside.

It’s just some work, right?

Any dirty or exhausting work, as long as he can make a living, he’ll do it!

...

As the Giant Python fell, Cheng Lingdang and several others arrived at Shi Yaoguang’s side one after another.

Earlier, they couldn’t hear what Shi Yaoguang was saying from a distance.

But...

The Giant Python’s voice was something they could hear.

Though they didn’t know why the Giant Python could speak, besides Shi Yaoguang and Quan Jinbei, only this Giant Python was present here.

If the voice just now wasn’t from the Giant Python, there would be no other possibility.

Indeed, with its voice sounding like thunder rolls, it wasn’t something a human vocal cord could produce.

Cheng Lingdang and the others were very worried about whether Shi Yaoguang might be in danger.

But...

Worrying was unnecessary, as they knew their presence would only be a burden to Shi Yaoguang. They stood afar, ready to step in at a moment’s notice.

Unexpectedly.

Before they could find a suitable opportunity to step in with their blades, the Giant Python collapsed first.

Cheng Lingdang examined Shi Yaoguang carefully, relaxing only after seeing she had no injuries, then witnessed something astonishing.

On the ground.

The Giant Python was surprisingly...

Shed its skin!

The skin on the Giant Python was gradually peeling off.

No, calling it shedding isn’t quite accurate.

Shedding is instinctual for snakes; they ready new skin beforehand.

The Giant Python’s shedding was more like its flesh and blood were roiling.

On its body, something seemed to be pulling, forcibly separating its skin and flesh.

Even Shen Huan noticed and couldn’t help asking, "What’s going on?"

Shi Yaoguang casually said, "It has become a spirit now, its body is full of good stuff. Skin it, and later we’ll make some soft armor for the Sect disciples."

Recalling the Giant Python’s once fierce demeanor, Shen Huan twitched his mouth.

This serpent probably never imagined it would one day be skinned and gutted to make soft armor.

Upon deeper thought, it was indeed satisfying.

They almost got killed by this snake.

Having it pay the price was certainly justified.

Thus thinking, Shen Huan got all fired up, "I’ll go down and help with the skinning."

"No need." Shi Yaoguang immediately dismissed his offer to help.

Shen Huan was puzzled, "Can’t I help?"

"You can’t handle it."

Shi Yaoguang bluntly stated that he was weak.

Unconvinced, Shen Huan tried it himself.

Not to mention skinning, he nearly exhausted himself.

He was utterly shocked.

He didn’t expect such a result.

"Why is it like this?"

Cheng Lingdang, however, knew, "Because it has become a spirit."

After transformation, naturally, its constitution differs from ordinary snakes.

Still, Shen Huan found it somewhat...

Utterly astonishing.

"I can’t even pierce it with a knife. How do I skin it for armor?"

He said, noticing that the tear lines were neat, like cut by a sharp tool, "Is this the Sect Master controlling it with mental power?"

Shi Yaoguang snapped her fingers.

Hearing the familiar sound, the diligent and focused Wo Hezhe instinctively looked up, meeting the astonished gaze of Shen Huan.

Then, he faced Shen Huan’s shocked eyes.

Wo Hezhe: "..."

Shen Huan: "!!!"

For the first time, he witnessed something that was not a human creature.

Looking at Wo Hezhe, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say he opened the doors to a new world.

Wo Hezhe didn’t expect Shen Huan to be able to see him either.

Nonetheless, he remained calm.

Soon, he looked away, continuing to use the dagger Shi Yaoguang gave him, peeling the skin off the Giant Python.

Watching his fluid movements, Shen Huan’s mouth twitched.

Floating lightly, he arrived next to Shi Yaoguang, looking at her with a face full of grievance.

Shi Yaoguang asked in confusion, "What’s wrong with you?"

Shen Huan: "That... what is that creature?"

He was naturally referring to Wo Hezhe.

"Evil Demon."

Shi Yaoguang replied concisely, as if unaware of how shocking her words were.

Shen Huan looked dazed, "Evil Demon... does it mean what I think it means?"

Shi Yaoguang nodded her head, "Yes."

"I haven’t even said what I thought it meant..." Shen Huan couldn’t help but say.

Shi Yaoguang looked at him with an expression as if she was tenderly caring for a fool, speaking earnestly, "I know what you mean."

Shen Huan: "..."

It seemed like he was being disliked...
