Chapter 222 Utter Disdain
He immediately reflected on his mistake, his face full of worry as he took his daughter's little hand and said, "My dear daughter, Dad knows he was wrong. I'll practice hard every day from now on and I promise I won't be lazy again!"

The more he thought about what happened today, the more anxious he became.

If his daughter and Yan Xiruo hadn't arrived in time, he and his brat son would probably have lost their lives here.

It's not enough for your daughter or son to be strong; you have to be strong yourself.

Otherwise, if an emergency occurs, you won't even have time to react!

Xin Nian glanced at her father and saw that he was covered in sweat, disheveled, and in a sorry state, clearly frightened by the giant snake.

She deliberately put on a stern face, "Now you know danger is everywhere, right?"

Xin Wenyuan nodded repeatedly, "Daughter, Dad knows, Dad will definitely remember this lesson. But could you give me a bottle of ice water first? I'm dying of thirst."

He felt like he had been fighting the giant snake for more than half an hour, and now his whole body, down to the last strand of hair, felt like it was smoking...

Xin Nian took out a bottle of ice-cold mineral water.

Old Xin gulped down two mouthfuls, and only then did he feel a tiny bit more alive.

"Daughter, you don't know, your brother is such a liar and unreliable person!" Old Xin scolded his son angrily, recounting what happened after the two of them went into the cave.

Xin Nian found it somewhat amusing, but seeing her father's disheveled state, she managed to offer him a few words of comfort before letting him stay and rest beside his elder brother.

He then went to examine the giant snake's corpse.

Before the body stiffened, Xin Nian collected three jars of snake blood and had Yan Xi use her mental power to scan the snake for any abnormalities.

"Logically speaking, mutated plants and animals should have something like spirit pearls or crystals on their bodies. Check if you have any in your head."

Yan Xi nodded. "There's a reddish-oval object. I wonder if it's what you're looking for."

Xin Nian's eyes lit up. "Point me to the exact location."

Yan Xi pointed her to a spot, and Xin Nian used her spatial blade to cut it open, and sure enough, she found a stone that looked like jade but wasn't, and was as red as blood.

"My elder brother can definitely use the condensed pearl of this Crimson Flame Serpent."

Yan Xi glanced at her. "Aren't you worried that there might be some violent power remaining in this bead, and that it might not be beneficial for someone to absorb it?"

"Can't I just purify it?" Xin Nian tossed the egg-sized stone in her hand and glanced at Yan Xi. "Want some scales? I'll give you half."

"Just make two armor sets for me and Lingluo."

This snake, which is over eight feet long, has enough scales to make at least seven or eight pieces of armor.

When Yan Xi said that, Xin Nian nodded in agreement.

"I wonder if there are any talented people in the team who can do this," Xin Nian muttered to herself.

Yan Xi looked at her silently, "You don't know?"

Xin Nian turned to meet his gaze, "What do I know?"

"Your young General Chi can make weapons and armor, as long as the materials are available."

Xin Nian blinked. "Ah, that's really nice."

I'll knock Xiao Chi unconscious another day and bring him to the farm to do hard labor for a few days.

Thinking this, he moved quickly, his control of the spatial blade in his hand was very precise, and in less than half an hour, he had peeled off all the scales of the entire snake.

"Aren't you going to take this snake back with you?"

Xin Nian looked at the refined Yan Xi with a horrified expression, "You don't want to eat it, do you?"

Yan Xi's face seemed to say, "Isn't that meat?" He was quite puzzled.

Xin Nian waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no."

This thing has been entrenched here for a long time. What do they eat? I can't even imagine.

She wouldn't eat anything disgusting.

Unexpectedly, this young master, who looks so frail, is incredibly bold!

Yan Xi stared at her for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Do you have lots and lots of food?" Usually, people who are about to starve to death don't care about such things.

Xin Nian grabbed him and left, saying, "Anyway, you won't starve."

"You don't want anything else?" Yan Xi asked again. "Snake gall, snake oil, snake bones, and snake meat—aren't they all used as medicine for you doctors?"

Xin Nian: ...

Ugh, this kid is so annoying.

I used to avoid her like the plague, but why is she talking so much nonsense today?
"If you don't take it out, let the people of Dragon Tiger Stronghold dissect it for you."

Yan Xi saw right through her.

She found it disgusting! She didn't want to do it herself.

The steel scales were scraped off remotely using the spatial blade, without getting them on your hands at all.

Ugh! What an annoying guy!

With a flick of her wrist, Xin Nian moved the entire snake's corpse into a special condensed bead used to hold corpses.

I didn't dare throw it anywhere else because I was disgusted and didn't want to look at it at all!

Yan Xi secretly curved the corners of her lips as she was pulled to the front of the regimental commander.

"Daughter~ your older brother hasn't finished yet." As soon as Old Xin saw his daughter coming over, he immediately started complaining.

"Don't rush me, let my older brother advance in peace. This place suits his attributes, he likes it."

Old Xin pursed his lips, knowing that his daughter loved his wife and son far more than him!
"Xiao Xi, thank you so much for your help just now." Xin Wenyuan looked at Yan Xi and shook hands with him with a grateful expression.

"It's good that the commander is alright."

"Yeah, thankfully you arrived in time, it was a close call. Oh, by the way, honey, why was that big snake writhing and twitching like a dead fish, and then it just died?"

Xin Nian then told his father, "Yan Xi used a mental illusion technique; she must have taken the giant snake into the ocean."

"I took advantage of its unpreparedness to compress space and continuously distort the space around the giant snake, and the air should also be squeezed out."

Xin Wenyuan suddenly realized, "Oh my, so he died from lack of oxygen!"

No wonder the snake was writhing and twitching.

"Father, you must work harder so that you can understand our moves!"

Xin Wenyuan quickly nodded, "Girl, I know I was wrong. Don't worry, Dad will practice more diligently from now on, and I won't need you to whip me."

Xin Nian glanced at her father, her face serious.

Fortunately, her father finally came to his senses, so it's not all bad.

The three waited for Xin Mochen by the lava pool for more than an hour.

After drinking two bottles of ice water and eating an iced watermelon, Xin Mochen finally slowly opened his eyes.

"Oh my, you're finally awake!" Xin Wenyuan breathed a sigh of relief. "Quickly, it's getting hotter and hotter here, let's go up now."

"Father." Xin Mochen was momentarily dazed. "My sister is here too?"

Xin Nian leaned her head close to him, "Big brother, how are you feeling now?"

"Very good." Xin Mochen nodded slightly and smiled. "I've broken through to the fifth rank."

Xin Wenyuan glanced at his eldest son with a sour look, "You're amazing. You broke through as soon as you entered this place, which scared your father half to death."

As she spoke, she recounted what had just happened, repeatedly denouncing her troublesome son three times.

"Father, it's my fault. Are you alright?"

Xin Wenyuan waved his hand, "What could possibly happen to me? Let's go, let's get out of here quickly, your dad is dying of heat."

"Father, sister, wait for me a moment." Xin Mochen got up and walked towards the lava pool.

He spread his five fingers, and the other three stared at him in shock. In an instant, he completely wiped away the churning lava in the pool.
