Junior Sister is skilled in subduing demons.

Chapter 67 Shocked
Life and death are separated by a single thought; for Kui Ran, Shen Anzhi, and Ke Dasheng, they are merely survivors.

Kui Ran and Shen Anzhi, who had escaped from Azalea Valley, appeared quite dejected.

It was their first time going down the mountain for training, but it seemed that what they experienced was not just a simple training; it should have been a demon-slaying experience worthy of a level seven demon hunter or higher, so they all seemed very disappointed.

Under Kui Ran's tyrannical power, the spirit snake dared not emerge again, and the two of them walked like this, leaning on a wooden stick, for an unknown amount of time.

Anyway, in the pitch-black night, I noticed a dilapidated house in the distance with its lights still on.

"Master, why don't we rest at a house ahead?" The spirit snake saw that Shen Anzhi and Kui Ran were exhausted and seemed unable to walk, so it advised them to rest at the house ahead.

Shen Anzhi stopped, utterly dejected, and gazed at the distant lights, asking, "Have we already left Azalea Valley?"

Kui Ran looked back, but couldn't see anything behind her except for pitch blackness. She nodded and said, "It seems so."

"Snake Baby, I... I really can't walk anymore." Shen Anzhi wanted to sit down and take a nap right away.

The snake darted out of the pet pouch: "No, Master, hurry, just a little longer, we'll be there soon."

Finally, encouraged by the snake spirit, the two of them, leaning on their canes, appeared at the door of the villager's house like beggars.

Seeing the two people standing in the pitch black outside, the old man who opened the door was initially surprised. However, after seeing their attire, he seemed to understand their profession and welcomed them into the house without hesitation.

"Two Taoist priests, you must have come from Azalea Valley. That monster is quite ferocious," Old Man Li said, bringing over tea.

Shen Anzhi nodded, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Uncle, is there anything to eat?"

Old Li frowned and shook his head: "We don't have cooked food, but we do have sweet potatoes, which were just harvested today."

Shen Anzhi looked at the pile of sweet potatoes by the door and prepared to get up to grab a couple to eat, but was stopped by Kui Ran.

Kui Ran glanced at the kitchen and said, "You, cook us two big bowls of noodles."

"No, this, really no." Old Li was a little embarrassed. There wasn't enough food at home to begin with, and these two were so hungry that they would definitely eat several kilograms of noodles. So he said, "Sweet potatoes, have some sweet potatoes, I'll peel them for you."

Snapped……

Before Old Man Li could turn around, Kui Ran slammed a large ingot of silver onto the table: "Quickly, and it would be best to add two eggs."

Silver! Old Li's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly declined, saying, "This, how can I accept this? This, this..."

"Don't worry, no need to look anymore, it's all yours, and tonight's accommodation fee is included." After saying that, Kui Ran put down the baggage she was carrying. "It would be best if there was also a little wine, I need to calm my nerves."

This sum of money is quite substantial; for Old Man Li, it's enough to cover his family's expenses for over a year without him having to go out to work.

"Okay, okay, just a moment, just a moment." Old Li quickly went into the house and told his wife to start a fire and cook.

Kui Ran looked at Shen Anzhi's incredulous eyes with a smug expression and said, "Fairy, didn't I tell you before that demon hunters also need to understand the ways of the world? What are worldly things? Money is worldly things."

Indeed, if it were Shen Anzhi tonight, she would probably have to eat sweet potatoes, because she really has no money.

Before long, Old Man Li came over with a bowl of fragrant noodles with shredded cured pork, and a pot of wine as well.

"Wow!" Shen Anzhi was the first to exclaim, "It smells so good!"

Kui Ran was also starving, so the two of them ate their fill from the same bowl, one after the other, which made the spirit snake on the side very hungry. It took the time to eat the leftovers that the two of them had dropped on the table.

Full of wine and food.

One was lying on a bench, burping, while the other sat on the edge of the bed in the inner room, lost in thought.

"Snake Baby, what should we do?" Shen Anzhi had lost all his ideas and didn't know what to do next.

The snake crawled around the bed and said, "Master, don't worry, don't panic." "How can I not panic? Snake, they're all dead." Shen Anzhi seemed to be still in shock and somewhat at a loss.

Kui Ran overheard the conversation inside the room, so she tiptoed to the door.

The serpent pondered for a moment and said, "Master, don't be afraid. Why don't we just ask the Ancestral Master?"

"Yes, yes, quick, quick, I want to see the ancestral master." After saying that, Shen Anzhi sat upright on the bed, waiting to enter his dream.

Kui Ran peeked through the crack in the door and saw the antennae on the snake's head rubbing together incessantly. A beam of light entered Shen Anzhi's head, and then Shen Anzhi drifted off to sleep...

It's not unusual for spirit pets to have skills, but looking at the snake's actions, Kui Ran really couldn't figure out what kind of skill it was.

Exhausted, Kui Ran yawned and prepared to go to sleep...

The next day.

As dawn breaks, the countryside gradually awakens from its sweet slumber. A light morning mist, like a veil, envelops the entire village.

The silence was first broken by the crowing of a rooster, its loud cry echoing throughout the village.

Kui Ran stretched and walked out of the house, followed by Shen Anzhi yawning as he came out as well.

At the riverbank at the village entrance, women were washing clothes. They chatted and laughed as they beat the clothes with wooden sticks, their clear laughter echoing across the river.

"Oh, we've finally recovered. I wonder if Kodak has managed to escape yet," Kui Ran exclaimed.

Before Shen Anzhi could respond with his sentiments, Kui Ran spotted the spirit snake climbing on the tree branch and immediately reached out to grab it with a grin.

"Ah, help! Master, Master, he wants to use me to make wine again, Master."

The snake's reaction was clearly too intense, frightening Kui Ran into retreating repeatedly, afraid of offending Shen Anzhi again.

Shen Anzhi held the spirit snake in his palm and scolded, "Kui Ran, you..."

"I...I...I haven't done anything yet, it...it reacted too strongly," Kui Ran said, frustrated.

Shen Anzhi reassured the spirit snake: "Snake baby, be good, we're not afraid of him, don't look at him."

"Tch!" Kui Ran rolled her eyes and continued, "Where are you planning to go next?"

This question really stumped Shen Anzhi. She calmed down and looked at the river in the distance. It was clear that returning to the sect now was not the right thing to do.

"I think you should go back to Sanqing Palace first. After all, we don't know how Ke Dasheng is doing, and Luo Ling was eaten by a demon. Sigh." After what happened, Kui Ran felt that she should go back to Wugong Mountain first.

Suddenly, the snake poked its head out of the pet pouch and said, "Master, we can't go back to Sanqing Palace. Let's go back to Jingdezhen first."

"Why go back to Jingdezhen?" Anzhi asked, puzzled.

Spirit Serpent: "I don't know either, but that's what the Ancestral Master said last night."

"Oh, right." Anzhi then remembered that Menghong had told him in his dream last night to go back to Jingdezhen first.

Completely bewildered, Kui Ran repeated, "What? Patriarch? What Patriarch?"

"I'm not telling you." Anzhi rolled her eyes and went inside to pack her things.

Kui Ran rolled her eyes and said, "Never mind, I'm going back to my Wugong Mountain. Bye-bye."
