Chapter 1244: Chapter 1243: Shen Family Heiress

Shen Rushuang tried to break free from Shen Yunlong’s grip, but her strength was naturally no match for Shen Yunlong’s. She said anxiously, "Brother, if I leave today, he’ll definitely die."

Shen Yunlong looked at Su Changfeng with disdain and said indifferently, "Just a worthless man. If he dies, he dies."

With that, he didn’t give Shen Rushuang a chance to speak further and straightaway took her out of the room.

"Rushuang, from now on, don’t do this again. I will find a way to resolve my own matters; there’s no need for you to pay any price for it. Besides, he’s just a worthless man; how could he know about Wang Junyi’s matter?" Shen Yunlong said.

Just earlier, Su Changfeng admitted it himself; he indeed knew the secret of Wang Junyi’s rise. But seeing Shen Yunlong’s attitude, Shen Rushuang understood that there was no turning back now.

"Brother, I was wrong. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely listen to you from now on. But he..." Shen Rushuang thought now was not the best time for Su Changfeng to die, as she still wanted to learn many things from him.

"Go back immediately, and as for his life and death, let fate decide," Shen Yunlong said.

Three times the dose, if there was still no resolution, he surely wouldn’t have a good ending.

After everyone left, Su Changfeng finally let out a sigh of relief, though he was barely holding on.

Not knowing what he thought of, he gritted his teeth and spoke, "Little guy, it’s already this moment, yet you’re only watching the show? Quickly think of a way to help me."

Soon, the Little White Snake crawled out from Su Changfeng’s sleeve, but it tilted its head, showing an expression of helplessness, apparently having no solutions.

"Otherwise, try biting me," Su Changfeng said, as he could barely endure anymore, feeling that the next moment he might explode and perish. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

The Little White Snake flicked its tongue, seemingly considering where to bite.

In fact, the poison of the White Jade Python was extremely terrifying in the eyes of cultivators of the Tianyuan Continent, even powerful beings like Primordial Essence would avoid it.

The Little White Snake didn’t hold back, lowered its little head and bit, releasing just a little poison, then immediately let go.

Then, Su Changfeng’s arm quickly turned black-purple; clearly, the poison of the White Jade Python was beginning to take effect, surprisingly suppressing the medicinal effect within Su Changfeng’s body. However, his brows furrowed even tighter, and his expression grew increasingly pained.

Su Changfeng felt overwhelmed by pain engulfing him, and he couldn’t help but roll over, his whole body sweating.

A night of torment passed, and Su Changfeng seemed to have ventured through the gate of hell, barely surviving till dawn.

As dawn broke, Shen Rushuang woke up, secretly guessing whether Su Changfeng made it through, whether he was already dead.

Eager to know the result, she summoned her personal maid and instructed, "Go and check on that guy; if he’s dead, just deal with it directly." She said this, but in her heart she hoped Su Changfeng had survived, as she still had many things she wanted to learn, and only Su Changfeng could provide the answers.

"Yes," the maid quickly went out.

Standing before Su Changfeng’s door, the maid felt an innate fear. Indeed, after the events of last night, she was secretly apprehensive of Su Changfeng, like a nightmare continuously haunting her mind.

She pushed the door open and saw Su Changfeng curled up on the ground, motionless. Her eyes suddenly widened.

Could he really be dead? Just died like that?

The maid secretly gathered her courage and slowly walked over, intending to check whether Su Changfeng was really dead.

But the next second, Su Changfeng, who was motionless, suddenly said, "I’m lucky; still alive."

The quiet room was suddenly filled with his words, and the maid’s expression changed drastically, letting out a scream and stepping back three times.

"Su Changfeng, if you were willing to listen to the young miss, you wouldn’t be in such a state now," the maid steadied herself and spoke to Su Changfeng.

Su Changfeng turned his head and glanced at the maid, tugged at the corner of his mouth, revealing a big white smile, his expression full of determination: "I, Su Changfeng, bow to neither heaven nor ghosts."

The maid secretly gritted her teeth; she really didn’t understand what he was thinking. Did he not know where this was? This was the Shen Family, yet he dared to be defiant against the young miss. He must have had a death wish.

...

Time flew by, and the long-awaited Hunting Festival finally arrived.

At the north gate of Tianshui City, a large crowd had gathered early on, verily a sea of people, all of whom had come for this Hunting Festival.

This was the annual grand event surrounding the Yuanqi Mountain Range for all towns; any cultivator hoped to stand out during this celebration.

Usually, most of these people were cultivators stuck in the First Rank or Second Rank, possibly unable to enhance their strength for their lifetime, thus pinning their hopes on this festival to make a name for themselves.

Even successfully taming a One-star Beast could allow them to gain a small official position in Xingluo. Once they had a position, regardless of its size, it would certainly be better than their current situation.

"I didn’t expect so many people to participate in the hunting festival; are there many exotic beasts in the Yuanqi Mountain Range?" Su Changfeng murmured as he walked beside Shen Rushuang.

He didn’t intend to get an answer from Shen Rushuang, but she surprisingly explained, "Do you think everyone can become a Beast Tamer? Every year, over a thousand people from Tianshui City participate in this event, yet no Beast Tamers have ever appeared."

"What’s going on? Is it harder than finding exotic beasts?" Su Changfeng asked curiously.

"Generally, the ranks of those who come to participate in such festivals aren’t too high, plus they lack the courage to venture further, so most people opt to search for exotic beasts on the outskirts of the mountain range, but truthfully, there haven’t been many exotic beasts left on the outskirts for quite some time now. Nowadays, catching one relies entirely on luck. Moreover, even if encountered, whether they can be tamed is uncertain." Shen Rushuang explained.

The hunting festival was an annual celebration, and the number of exotic beasts on the outskirts was limited, but fortunately, there weren’t many experts in the small city, otherwise, the exotic beasts inside might also suffer.

"Since you’re here, you surely wouldn’t just stay on the outskirts, right?" Su Changfeng asked.

Although he didn’t have much interaction with Shen Rushuang, he could tell she was very ambitious; whatever she wanted to accomplish, she would absolutely find a way to achieve it.

Therefore, Su Changfeng guessed that she definitely wouldn’t waste time on the outskirts.

Shen Rushuang snorted and said, "Do you think I’m like everyone else?"

Su Changfeng shrugged; in terms of strength, Shen Rushuang was only a First Rank as well. He really couldn’t see what difference she had from others. If there was any difference, it would be her identity as the Shen Family’s lady; but at times like these, what significance does identity have? After all, exotic beasts won’t willingly run into her arms just because she’s the Shen Family’s lady.
