Chapter 114 Never Betray
The moment it fell into the stream, a giant rainbow snake raised its enormous head, its cold snake eyes staring intently at Yu Heng, its bright red tongue flicking out from between its lips. Even coiled in the stream, the flames covering its scales still burned fiercely, dangerous and eerie.

Yu Heng slowly rose from his spot. The moment he raised his eyes, the plants around him seemed to be given a soul, and began to grow rapidly, becoming wild and unruly.

Even the three giant trees in front of the Ling family's house, which served as the base for the treehouse, were taken into custody.

Ling Chengen emerged from the stone cave and was met with wildly flailing vines and branches. His brow twitched several times, and he couldn't help but rub his forehead, saying, "You two!"

"If you want to fight, go somewhere else. This is not the place for your magical duels."

Ling Chengen's gaze fell heavily on Chang Tianchen, whose body stiffened instantly, his snake head standing there blankly, his eyes suddenly becoming clear.

There is only one reason.

Guilty.

Ling Chengen gave him a cold look and looked at Yu Heng, saying, "Remember to restore them to their original state. If any of those three treehouses are damaged, you have to repair them before you can leave."

Yuheng glanced at her and said, "You have quite a temper."

"If it were you, would you have such a good temper?" Ling Chengen said unhappily.

Especially after a long day, coming home to a mentally ill person with intermittent seizures, followed by two stronger individuals who nearly destroyed his home.

"It's not like I'm bullying you, don't take it out on me."

With a casual wave of his hand, Yu Heng caused those menacing vines to vanish without a trace.

Ling Chengen breathed a slight sigh of relief as he looked at the flowering tree that had returned to its original state.

If Yu Shaochen returns and finds that the nest he painstakingly built is gone, he will most likely be devastated.

He personally sourced the timber for these treehouses and meticulously trimmed and assembled each piece.

The three treehouses took quite a while to build.

Because of the fight between these two random people, everything was ruined, and she was really afraid that the little panda would cry.

Can I stay at your place for the night?

Yuheng is quite satisfied with the environment here.

Nestled between mountains and water, the area is lush with vegetation and teeming with life.

It's a good time for him to rest and recuperate.

Ling Chengen glanced at the empty rocky beach and the woods not far away: "Do as you please, just don't go into the caves or treehouses. The rest is fine."

Yuheng had no intention of entering anyone else's shelter; building a treehouse was a simple matter for him.

“I may need to stay here for about three days, and I can look after this area for you while I’m at it,” Yuheng said.

Ling Chengen watched his retreating figure as he turned and walked towards the woods, his brows furrowing slightly.

She really couldn't understand this person.

Anyway, it has nothing to do with her, so there's no need to pay attention to it.

Ling Chengen walked to the stream and looked at Chang Tianchen, who had his head down and looked guilty.

"Do you know that your blood can form a contract?" she asked expressionlessly.

Chang Tianchen immediately reverted to his human body and snake tail form, shaking his head and saying, "I did not inherit any memories of this aspect."

Ling Chengen watched as his long, wet hair clung to his pale, cold skin as he approached step by step.

"If I had known, I wouldn't have..." He didn't finish his sentence before he was forced to bend over in pain.

Ling Chengen withdrew his hand, flicked the blood droplets from his fingertips, and looked down at Chang Tianchen, who had fallen into the water.

"Don't come any closer to me."

"I won't believe a single word you say."

Blood trickled from the corner of Chang Tianchen's lips. He looked up at her cold face and said, "Whether you believe it or not, I never intended to use such methods to form a contract with you."

"Your mental domain has expanded and is basically stable. It will recover slowly without me having to do anything else. So, you don't need to come again."

I don't owe you anything.

"I have no intention of becoming your partner."

“A normal female wouldn’t like someone as obsessive and effeminate as you.”

"Go back to where you belong and take care of yourself."

After Chang Tianchen finished speaking, he turned to leave and immediately stepped in front of her to block her way.

"Step aside!"

Chang Tianchen did not yield, letting the blood continue to flow from his abdomen: "I will find a way to remove the Heart-Sealing Fire from your body."

Ling Chengen didn't want to look at him again, so she walked past him and returned to her treehouse without saying a word.

Chang Tianchen stood there, slowly closing his eyes, his heart filled with chaotic and complex emotions, his chest heaving.

A cool voice rang out not far from him. Yu Heng dipped his feet into the somewhat cold stream, leaned against the dark gray boulder beside him, propped his chin on one hand, and said lazily, "Return back the thing you took back then, and I can help you receive the complete Heavenly Python inheritance."

Chang Tianchen suddenly opened his eyes and said coldly, "Dream on."

Yu Heng narrowed his eyes slightly: "Although your ability counters mine, the difference in strength between us is too great. If we were to fight, you would only suffer losses. Considering that we are old acquaintances, I can give you another chance."

"Where exactly is Huoying?"

Chang Tianchen was not afraid of his threat, and only laughed sarcastically: "It's been so long, and someone who gets something as important as Huoying would use it immediately. Why would you keep it on your person and wait for someone to steal it?"

Yu Heng's dark eyes gradually deepened as he looked at the bleeding wounds on his body and said thoughtfully, "If you've used it, you can give me your blood too."

"You're dreaming."

Yu Heng's expression gradually became impatient: "You like that little female, don't you?"

"Her life or your own life, you choose."

Chang Tianchen's delicate and dazzling ear fins on both sides of his face slowly opened, and snake scales gradually spread from his waist and abdomen to his chest and neck, while his pupils gradually turned bloodshot.

"If you dare to lay a finger on her, I will never let you get away with it."

Yu Heng sneered, "I never thought that a cold-blooded and ruthless animal like you would have feelings for someone. It's just a pity that your awakened Heavenly Python bloodline means that you will only ever lose the one you love in this life."

"Stop dawdling, give me your blood, or I'll take it myself."

Chang Tianchen slowly tightened his grip, Yu Heng splashed his foot in the stream, and said calmly, "If you make a move here, she will probably hate you even more."

"Moreover, with your incomplete memories, breaking the Heart-Sealing Flame Contract would be harder than climbing to heaven."

Chang Tianchen gradually calmed down, realizing he couldn't fight Yu Heng here.

And he's right, it's unlikely that he can solve the problem of the Heartfire on his own.

Especially after he advanced again and suffered a backlash.

Two years is a long time for others, but for him, who was eager to resolve the Heartfire Contract... it was too short.

"Come with me to Poison Valley."

Chang Tianchen flicked its tail and quickly disappeared into the dark forest.

Upon seeing this, Yuheng couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips.

He rested his cheek on his hand and gently tapped his temple twice.

What an easy little snake to bully.

The tendrils on his earlobe swayed, and he said in a subtle tone, "You don't need Huoying as much anymore, so why are you still teasing him?"

Yu Heng tapped his cheek with his fingertip and said casually, "What kind of person do you think I am?"

"Not human," Jiao Jiao replied immediately. Yu Heng's smile suddenly flattened, and he flicked his earring with his fingertip: "Don't you need a beating?"

Jiaojiao swayed a few times in mid-air, looking aggrieved, and its two round, tender leaves opened and closed again: "You weren't a person to begin with, you're at most half a person."

"He took advantage of my moment when I was caught off guard and was being ambushed and surrounded by that pack of hyenas. He stole the Firefly that I had been guarding for more than a month right in front of me."

"I'm the kind of person who holds grudges the most. If anyone steals something I've set my sights on, I'll make sure they suffer a lot."

Jiaojiao: "..."

"overbearing."

Yuheng glanced at the stream: "It looks like we'll have to wait a while before we can take a bath."

As soon as he finished speaking, he vanished from his spot, leaving behind only a section of reddish-yellow vine, half of which lay in the stream and the other half dangling on the boulder.

……

Ling Chengen stood inside the treehouse, and only after realizing that both of their presence had vanished did she let out a long sigh of relief.

A lot happened tonight, and she's in a really bad mood.

After a whole day of fussing, she was covered in sweat and felt sticky, but since the two of them wouldn't leave, she couldn't go to the stream to bathe.

Now we can finally get through this.

After jumping down from the tree and confirming that Felicity had gone back, Su Weihua was stuck in the cave and couldn't get out. There was no one else around, so she headed towards her usual bathing spot.

The water has been a little cold these past few days, but I don't have the means to boil water for a bath right now.

She didn't care about the water temperature, took off her animal skin skirt, and sank to the bottom of the water, letting out a comfortable sigh.

When Yuheng returned to the stone, he immediately sensed that someone was beside him.

The vines on the stone silently solidified into human form, their aura indistinguishable from the surrounding vegetation.

As soon as Yuheng opened his eyes, he saw a female with her back to him, her body mostly submerged in the stream.

He smiled silently, moved his calf slightly in the stream, startling the people in front of him.

Hearing the sudden sound behind him, Ling Chengen immediately turned around and looked warily toward the source of the sound.

Yuheng sat on a rock, his elbows resting on his knees, his body leaning slightly forward.

"You're quite outgoing."

Ling Chengen remained calm and breathed a slight sigh of relief after seeing his features clearly.

"So, why are you back again? You didn't make a sound at all."

Yuheng twitched her fingertips slightly, and the animal skin skirt that had been lying on the stone was hooked up and slowly handed to her by the vines.

“My constitution is rather special, you should know that better than anyone else.” Yu Heng’s gaze was clear and honest. He only glanced at her body briefly before lazily sitting back on the rock. “If you judge whether I am here or not based solely on my aura, you’re likely to suffer a loss.”

Ling Chengen frowned as he looked at the clothes he brought over and said, "Couldn't you have brought me some clean clothes? The set that's on the high rock."

Yu Heng's lips twitched: "You're really not being polite."

"You weren't being polite at all, you saw me completely naked, and you didn't even flinch."

Yuheng clicked his tongue, threw the dirty clothes on the rocks by the stream, picked up the animal skin skirt from the rocks beside him, and ran his fingertips over the material of the skirt: "You wear clothes like this? I see your family is quite well-off, why don't you get some better materials to make clothes?"

Ling Chengen turned around, stretched out his hand at him, and said with a sour face, "Stop talking nonsense and give me the clothes right now."

"If you see my body naked, be careful, or I might marry you."

Yuheng scoffed at her threat and threw the clothes at her head.

"What's so interesting about a little female who hasn't even reached adulthood?"

"I consider myself a witch doctor; I've seen at least eight hundred, if not a thousand, bodies."

"Marry me? You wish!"

Ling Chengen ignored him, swam a little further downstream, walked into the shadow of the rocks, got out of the water, and put his clothes on.

Yuheng's mental strength was much higher than hers. Even though she was hiding in the shadows, he could still see her body curves clearly without using any of his abilities.

But he didn't look; he lay on his back on the rock, quietly gazing at the sky above.

As the footsteps drew closer, he turned his head and saw a pair of slender, white legs that were strong yet graceful.

He looked up along the legs and saw the face of the little female he had met during the day.

It's clean and looks much better than during the day.

At that time, my face was covered in black ash, mixed with a little sweat, making me look like a little kitten.

He didn't look much better off than when he was imprisoned in the cave.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Yuheng rested his arms behind his head and quietly looked into her eyes.

It was the same black as him, a pure and unadulterated black.

The little female had a pair of very sharp eyes, with slightly upturned corners. Her pupils weren't very large, but they complemented her other facial features perfectly.

He rarely encountered such a perfect face and such a fluid yet explosive body.

The females on the Northern Beast Plains are quite different from those on the Southern Beast Plains.

"Your medical skills are very good?" Ling Chengen squatted down beside him, looking down at his lazy appearance.

Yu Heng sighed softly: "You want me to save that wolf-clan beastman in the cave?"

"He is my beastly husband."

Yuheng looked at her straight nose and pale pink lips, and finally met her gaze: "Just throw away this useless beast husband. Why bother trying to cure him!"

Ling Chengen crossed his arms and placed them on his knees: "He's not your beastly husband."

"You're a witch doctor, all you need to do is answer whether you can cure it."

Yuheng suddenly raised an eyebrow and said, "Aren't you afraid that if you talk to a witch doctor like that, I'll agree to your request first and then sabotage the treatment?"

"Do you have a grudge against my wolf cub?" Ling Chengen asked, raising an eyebrow. "I've treated his injuries, and the tribe's shaman has also treated him. He should be able to recover. Since you are the most powerful shaman on the Beast Plains, and fate has arranged for us to meet you, I naturally don't want to miss this opportunity."

"You can name your terms, and I'll agree to anything that's reasonable."

Yuheng looked at her arrogant and ignorant appearance with a shallow gaze, remaining silent for a long time without looking away.

Ling Chengen didn't mind being looked at by him.

Yuheng's gaze did not have that repulsive stare or scrutiny.

It seems like he's just looking at her.

Yet it seems like I'm not looking at her.

Regardless, at least it didn't make her feel uncomfortable.

Yu Heng's eyes twitched, and he suddenly sat up, lifting her chin with his fingers.

"Setting arbitrary conditions?"

"I will never leave you for the rest of my life."

"Never betray me."

"Can it be done?"

"If you can do that, whether it's the one in the cave or your family members in the future, as long as they have a breath left and can bring them to me, I can guarantee that they will live a healthy life."
