Chapter 52
Chapter 52
Li Shiyin hugged the tail of the giant snake, swung the ten-meter long giant snake in the air for a few circles, then smashed it on the ground a few times. Feeling the struggling strength of the giant snake weakening, she then stopped and smashed the giant snake on the ground again with force.
After calling for the Qingxing Sword, she panted and flew onto the sword, heading towards the snake head's location to check on the situation of the giant snake.
Qin Ran flew over in a timely manner and stopped the silly goose-like Li Shiyin. He raised his hand and flew out a bubble, enveloping the entire giant snake in it.
"In this kind of situation, because the specific status of the enemy is uncertain, it is best to directly deliver the finishing blow. If you don't want to do that, then don't get too close to the enemy casually either, otherwise you are very likely to be ambushed by the enemy. This is still a snake. The speed of the snake head is extremely fast. If you just go and take a look like this, does it seem like you have lived far too long?" he admonished.
"Oh!" Li Shiyin panted and stuck out her tongue.
Qin Ran glared at her.
"I've seen the immortal!"
At this time, a group of villagers surrounded them. Among them, two couples each hugged their children and knelt down in front of Qin Ran and Li Shiyin, kowtowing,
"Thank you, immortal!"
"No need, no need..." Li Shiyin said, "It was just a small matter!"
A small matter - hugging a ten-meter long giant snake and playing with it like a toy.
The two couples knelt on the ground, looked up at Li Shiyin, with some fear in their eyes. The scene of Li Shiyin's wild abuse of the giant snake just now was really frightening. They actually felt that Qin Ran, who later saved the children, was more approachable and had the flavor of an immortal.
One of the husbands looked at Qin Ran and said, "Immortal, you subdued the evil monster and saved my son. I really don't know how to thank you..."
Before he finished speaking, Qin Ran raised his hand to stop him from continuing, and replied, "My disciple and I passed by here and helped incidentally. There is no need for thanks."
Qin Ran knew what was on the minds of these two couples who came over hugging their children. They just wanted him to save their children.
He didn't say much more, landed in front of them, squatted down, took the boy's wrist, and took his pulse. He found that the child's bones had become deformed, and his five viscera and six bowels were also squeezed to some extent. He frowned, also touched the girl's pulse, and found that the situation was not much better.
The power of the giant snake was not something children could withstand, not even a tiny bit. With the condition of these two children, if he didn't make a move, they probably wouldn't survive.
"Immortal, how is my child?" a woman asked. She was still kneeling on the ground.
"You get up first." Qin Ran said. "The child's problem is serious..."
Hearing his words, the two couples kowtowed again, anxiously saying, "The immortal is extremely compassionate and benevolent, righteous and kind. I beg you to save my child."
"Get up first." Qin Ran said. "The child's problem is serious, but it's not hopeless."
Only then did the two couples stop kowtowing, but they still did not stand up.
Qin Ran took out a Blood Activating Muscle Pill from the Universe Bag. He said to the villagers next to him, "Go and get a bowl of water."
Soon a villager brought water over.
Qin Ran put the Blood Activating Muscle Pill into the water and waited for it to dissolve. He squatted down and pressed his hand on the boy's chest, saying to the couple, "His bones and internal organs were all squeezed. I'll reshape his bones first."
"Immortal, do as you wish."
Qin Ran sent his divine sense into the boy's brain to hypnotize him, and slowly transferred power into the boy's limbs and bones. With his control over his power and the gentleness of his water-attributed power, he reshaped the boy's bones.
Then he fed the boy half of the water containing the dissolved Blood Activating Muscle Pill to help his injuries recover quickly.
After healing the boy, Qin Ran was about to reshape the bones for the girl, but at this time Li Shiyin suddenly walked over. She said to Qin Ran, "Master, for the girl, let me do it."
"Hmm?" Qin Ran looked at her doubtfully, then realized it would be inappropriate for him to do it for the girl. So he asked Li Shiyin, "Can you do it?"
"Master, please teach me."
"Immortal..." But the girl's parents did not trust Li Shiyin.
"Don't worry, she is also very capable." Qin Ran said.
"But..."
As the girl's parents hesitated, Li Shiyin pouted unhappily, squatted down, and pressed her hand on the girl's chest.
"Your power is too aggressive, so be more careful." Qin Ran nodded at the girl's parents and said to Li Shiyin, "Let your power slowly enter her body, protect her internal organs first..."
Li Shiyin did as instructed, but her power was not as gentle as Qin Ran's. Her control over her power was also far from Qin Ran's level. As soon as her power entered the body, the pain woke the girl up.
Qin Ran quickly sent out his divine sense to soothe the girl and put her back to sleep.
"Then reshape her bones, don't use too much force..."
Under Qin Ran's guidance, Li Shiyin also step-by-step reshaped the girl's bones. Qin Ran looked at her. His silly disciple's control over power was already quite skilled.
He handed Li Shiyin the remaining half bowl of Blood Activating Muscle Pill water and said, "Let her drink the water."
The treatment was successful. Li Shiyin was quite happy. She stood up and grinned at Qin Ran.
Qin Ran didn't really want to pay attention to her. He took out another book and handed it to one of the men, saying,
"The children's bones and five viscera were injured. Although we did our best, it was still artificial treatment after all, I dare not guarantee absolutely no problems. This is a practice method for nourishing the body. Teach them to practice diligently, it will benefit their bodies."
"Yes, immortal!" The man bowed to accept the practice method.
After handling this side, Qin Ran brought Li Shiyin to the giant snake and considered how to deal with it.
"We can't let it go, can't guarantee it won't come back for revenge; We also can't take it with us, we don't have the free time to look after it. So..." Qin Ran said, "Although a bit heartless, there is only killing it."
"Shiyin!" He gestured at Li Shiyin, "Use you Starlight Beam move to practice your skills."
"Master..." Li Shiyin grasped the hilt, but did not draw the sword for a long time, "Isn't it too cruel?"
"You were the one who made the first move, so you should also finish it. Take responsibility for your actions!" Qin Ran said expressionlessly. "Shiyin, remember, this is the immortal cultivation world. There is no room for the slightest soft-heartedness!"
Li Shiyin fell silent and said nothing. After a while, the Qingxing Sword was unsheathed, and starlight was accumulated...
Just as the starlight was about to shoot out, the giant snake's body inside the bubble suddenly started flickering, making her stop.
The huge body in the bubble shook a few times, and slowly shrank visibly. In a short while, it shrank from a gigantic state to the size of an ordinary person. It squirmed once more and became even smaller. Then it stretched out its hands, feet and head.
With another flicker, it turned into a five or six year old little girl, using snake skin to wrap her body. She tumbled and knelt inside the bubble, pitifully pleading, "I beg the immortal to spare my life. Consider this is my first offense, and I have not harmed anyone yet. Please spare me from death!"
"What's this?" Li Shiyin stopped, frowning.
"A demon?" Qin Ran was shocked, and a Earth Fire Pellet appeared in his palm.
"Who are you?" he asked the little girl.
"Replying to the immortal, little demon Long Qi Qi, the demon of the Hengduan Mountains here." The little girl replied.
"Snake demon Long Qi Qi?" Qin Ran felt strange.
"You heard our predicament earlier, this won't change just because you transformed." He said solemnly. "On the contrary, because you transformed, I must kill you even more."
"Immortal, I guarantee I won't offend again. I'll go back to the Hengduan Mountains immediately and never come out again forever." Long Qi Qi kowtowed desperately.
"You guarantee?" Qin Ran shook his head. "It's useless."
Actually Long Qi Qi didn't want to go back to the Hengduan Mountains either. She finally got out, how could she want to go back? Going back to the Hengduan Mountains now was the next worst option besides death.
Hearing Qin Ran's words, she immediately changed her tune: "Then the immortal can bring the little demon with you to supervise me at all times! The little demon can serve tea and water, wait on people, and doesn't eat much either. As long as you spare me from death."
"It would be inconvenient for us..." The strong will to survive made Qin Ran hesitate, but he still wanted to kill the snake demon and be done with it.
"Mas...Master, she's also a child." Li Shiyin suddenly whispered.
Qin Ran coldly looked at her with a frown on his face. His silly apprentice had many qualities of a general's manor, but this soft heart of kindness did not match a general at all.
Could this snake demon also be considered a child? She had already taken human form, her age could be older than her grandfather... No, she could be older than the Northern Chu Kingdom itself.
But in the end, they did not kill this snake demon. Instead, they took her away with them.
