After a long day of toil and fatigue, I returned to the main building.
I had the maids notify the kitchen to prepare a light meal.
After devouring the entire spread of light meals, I felt all my exhaustion vanish.
After the meal, I saw off the Divine Physician Master and Old Man Mo.
However, one person still showed no intention of leaving, and that was Yuwen Yu.
Seeing Old Man Mo walk away, he turned his head and looked at me and Ling Dingxuan with a meaningful gaze filled with curiosity.
Both Ling Yuxuan and I understood what he was hoping for. Clearly, he was most interested in the matter concerning my two spirit beasts.
At this moment, both Ling Yuxuan and the Demon Prince were still in an excited state, so we could only silently lead him back to the back mountain together.
Right now, our biggest concern was for Little Python and Xingchen's safety, hoping they would return from the perilous situation behind the waterfall soon.
When we arrived at a spot not far from the waterfall on the back mountain, I suddenly remembered to ask, "By the way, I almost forgot. Aren't Little Python and Xingchen over at Hengfeng Family Home? How could they have rushed here so quickly to rescue us?"
Ling Yuxuan smiled lightly and replied, "They certainly didn't come all the way from Hengfeng County in one go. In fact, on the same day we set off to return, they also started their journey, hiding in the bushes along the road to accompany us to County Town."
"But you didn't tell me?"
A hint of displeasure appeared on my face.
"Hehe, I didn't want you to worry, so I chose to keep it from you for a while. But you found out about their arrival today anyway, didn't you?"
Ling Yuxuan continued to smile calmly in response to my dissatisfaction.
"Is it really the same? Sigh—fine, for their sake, I won't hold it against you today."
Faced with Ling Yuxuan's nonchalant attitude, I could only roll my eyes at him. Then I turned around and gazed expectantly toward the waterfall.
Here, one can clearly see the waterfall and the true appearance of the higher mountains behind it. However, due to the Manjushage Flower, when people actually approach the waterfall, everything changes.
She still remembers the first time she and the Demon Prince entered that area; they kept spinning in circles and almost fell into the Deep Pool.
If they had fallen into the Deep Pool back then, when Little Python and Xingchen had not yet arrived in Chu County, she and her Demonic Charming Man would have truly been doomed.
Just thinking about that Deep Purple Eyes, with its purple and green colors intertwined, made Ziyan feel a chill run down her spine.
At the same time, while Ziyan was lost in thought, she heard her Demon Prince, Ling Yuxuan, once again playing music on his Jade Flute.
"When did you discover that your Jade Flute could attract and even control beasts?"
Listening to this familiar music, Ziyan finally asked a question that had long puzzled her. She had thought about it before but always forgot to ask him in the end.
Now that she thought about it, she realized she had been quite careless regarding this matter. Over the years, her mind had been filled with thoughts of how to get rich, while she paid little attention to other things.
In response to Ziyan's question, Ling Yuxuan did not answer but continued to play his piece seriously and wholeheartedly.
Seeing this, Ziyan realized that she should not have asked him a question at this moment. She had missed many opportunities to ask before and now he was busy.
Thus, Ziyan fell silent and, like Yuwen Yu, quietly listened to the beautiful music while fixating her gaze on the Deep Pool by the waterfall.
...
After about half a stick of incense's time passed,
Finally, some commotion appeared near the waterfall.
A few people focused their eyes and saw that the low shrubs and trees in front of the waterfall were shaking rapidly towards their direction.
Soon, Xingchen was the first to appear before everyone’s eyes.
The Starry Beast let out two low growls before rushing towards the crowd.
"Starry Beast, welcome back."
Ziyan was quickly knocked down by the Starry Beast. She helplessly got up from the ground and laughed joyfully at the Starry Beast, "Hehe, naughty Starry Beast!"
However, she soon realized that Little Python had still not appeared.
Just as Ziyan's heart began to race with anxiety, she saw Little Python slowly emerge from the bushes.
It crawled steadily towards the group, and just as it reached Ziyan and the others, they casually glanced in its direction.
At the same time, several people gasped again. They had once more seen that long, purple figure that had instilled a strong sense of fear in them, along with those chilling eyes that resembled purple crystals.
Yuwen Yu couldn't help but swallow hard. If anyone at the scene remained calm, it was only Demon Prince Ling Yuxuan, who had always studied these beasts deeply.
Ziyan nearly screamed but forced herself to cover her mouth with her hands.
However, Ziyan's silence did not mean that others were not frightened into a panic by such a terrifying creature.
"Ah!"
Just as Ziyan was reminding herself to stay calm, a scream came from a slightly taller ancient tree in the nearby bushes. Coincidentally, with the sound, the hidden guard who had made the noise fell directly from the tree.
Instantly, everyone's hearts raced for that guard because his position meant he would fall right onto the Purple Python.
That—he would surely become the Purple Python's dinner; at this moment, no one could save him.
As everyone lamented this unfortunate fate, they saw the Purple Python suddenly retract its body. The careless guard fell right in front of its head. When he looked up at the Purple Python, just one glance was enough to knock him out on the spot.
However—what no one expected happened: the Purple Python did not open its mouth to bite or swallow him.
It stretched out its head, flicking its tongue, and stared at the very young guard for a while. Then, surprisingly, it moved its head and body, using its tail to wrap around the entire body of the boy, before shifting to a spot not far in front of Ziyan and the others, then letting him go and retreating back to its original position.
Damn! Is this Purple Python trying to befriend me?
Everyone exchanged glances in surprise.
After a brief standoff, the Purple Python finally seemed reluctant as it began to retreat along the same path.
Meanwhile, the Little Python, which had been by everyone's side, surprisingly chased after it for at least three meters. It was clear that it was also quite reluctant to part with the Purple Python.
"It seems these two have sparked a romantic connection!" Ziyan remarked, observing the Little Python's forlorn expression as he mumbled to himself.
"Well! As long as they get along happily, let them be," Ling Yuxuan suddenly said.
"Uh? Does that mean we won't let Little Python return to Hengfeng County anymore?" Ziyan hesitated.
"It doesn't matter. There are already a pair of Star's children guarding Hengfeng now, and there's also another Little Python leading them."
A reminder struck like a dream! Yes! Hengfeng already has other tamed spirit beasts taking over. So let them follow their wishes!
Ziyan gently patted Little Python's head. In fact, this was better; with these two spirit beasts guarding Xuan Wang Fu and Heavenly Pivot Sect in the future, wouldn't that be even more wonderful!
At this moment, Ling Yuxuan and Yuwen Yu, both seasoned Princes who had faced numerous hardships, were standing far away. As Ziyan played with Star and Little Python while subconsciously using his peripheral vision to look for the two, he saw them standing at a distance seemingly admiring him while also discussing something.
However, due to the distance, Ziyan couldn't hear what they were talking about. Yet, an inexplicable curiosity was naturally piqued by their presence.
Ziyan thought to himself: I will turn back and interrogate Ling Yuxuan, and see if he dares to speak with me.
Having made up his mind, Ziyan temporarily left them behind. Speaking of which, it had been quite some time since he had separated from Little Python. Even when he returned to his hometown in Hengfeng last year, he had so many things to take care of that he didn't have the chance to find them and spend quality time together!
Now, all the regrets would no longer be regrets. Since they remained in Chu County, as long as they were still in Chu County and stayed in the back mountain, there would be plenty of time in the future to play with them and ask for their help.
Thinking of this, Ziyan felt as if he had eaten honey, filled with happiness and sweetness.
After playing with the two spirit beasts for a while, Ziyan let go of Little Python and followed its gaze towards the waterfall. He noticed from a distance, on a protruding cliff above the waterfall, a long purple snake-like figure. Who else could it be but the Purple Python?
It seemed that it was waiting for Little Python's return. If he didn't let Little Python go back now, it looked like a purple longing snake sculpture would appear over there.
Speechless, Ziyan couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed! It turned out that even clever beasts have their emotional attachments.
He hadn't expected that this little accident would actually bring together a pair of beautiful snake lovers! Little Python had been alone in the vast Ancient Forest of Hengfeng for many years, seemingly without a mate, and just upon arriving in Chu County, it encountered this strong Purple Python, who was also lonely in the back mountain.
Love at first sight appeared between these two beasts, which was not an exaggeration, as many animal pairings often happen without prior acquaintance.
However, looking at their demeanor, it was unlike those ordinary courtship behaviors; how should he describe it? Ziyan couldn't put it into words, but he could feel that their bond was much deeper and more devoted than that of ordinary beasts, almost akin to human devotion.
Seeing Little Python looking somewhat distracted, Ziyan knew it was time for him to head back home.
