The group of drunkards and ricebags sent by Bai Yuejian had no choice but to escape one by one under cover.
The big snake also knew that it was not good to kill the fish and break the net. He turned to the spring and thanked him, then twisted his body and got into the water to wait for the next opportunity.
This time Wen Yuan and the others didn't encounter any strange things after they went back to sleep, and they slept until dawn.
Wen Yuan woke up early the next day. She sat by the lake again and said to herself facing the lake, "Xuan Yuan told me what happened last night. You snake, you actually want to eat me."
The originally calm lake surface suddenly stirred up some waves, and with the waves came a pearl as big as the mouth of a bowl.
There was a vague sound coming from the bottom of the water, but Wen Yuan still heard it clearly, "This pearl was produced from a thousand-year-old clam essence. It will be helpful to your cultivation. Consider it my apology to you and the thank you gift you gave me for helping me last night."
Wen Yuan picked up the pearl. It was really bright, clean, and round in shape. It looked like a good thing at first glance. It should be the treasure of the big snake.
She brought the pearl to Quan like a treasure, "Master, look, this is the pearl that the snake demon gave me. I heard it belongs to the thousand-year-old clam spirit."
Quan carefully looked at the thing in Wen Yuan's hand, and after a while he nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's really good. It's the best quality for cultivation. Give it to me, and I'll make the elixir for you to take."
A group of people happened to pass by them at this time. When they heard about the top level of cultivation, their eyes lit up and they stared at the big pearl in Wen Yuan's hand.
"Hey, did you hear what that man said just now? He said that the pearl was a top-quality pearl for cultivation. What do you think would happen if we snatched it away?"
The man's greedy eyes caught Wen Yuan's attention. She looked sideways at the woods not far away and found that the group of people were staring at the pearl in her hand.
Wen Yuan stepped back a little from Quan, "Master... there is someone over there who wants to snatch the pearl in my hand."
It's not unusual for someone to want to snatch this kind of thing. Quan asked Wen Yuan to quickly put the pearl in the space and put it away.
When the passerby saw the pearl disappearing in front of his eyes, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Boy, we just passed by and saw a huge pearl in this girl's hand. We were very curious. Could you take it out again to open our eyes?"
"No, I got this with great difficulty, and besides, I don't know you." Wen Yuan is also a princess after all. She has been to many major events and has learned how to recognize people.
The man in front of me had an erratic look in his eyes, and he had evil intentions at first sight. He might have snatched the pearl away as soon as she took it out.
"What if I want the money to buy that pearl?" Wen Yuan saw the man prepared to spend a lot of money, and then looked at his clothes, thinking that he must be a kid from a rich family, but she still didn't want to agree.
Seeing that Wen Yuan didn't speak for a long time, the man suddenly became angry and said, "Do you want to answer or not? You can speak!"
The saliva almost sprayed onto Wen Yuan's face.
Shen Huaiyan, Chi Zhaoyue and others also came from behind. As soon as they arrived, they saw the man yelling at Wen Yuan angrily.
He took Wen Yuan's hand and gently pulled it back, "Why are you talking so harshly to the girl's family? Besides, we don't know you."
"You don't even know the second son of the No. 1 salt merchant in Cangquanzhou? Could it be that he comes from the countryside?" The woman next to the man looked at Wen Yuan and the others with disdain.
Her ridicule sounded very harsh to Wen Yuan, "How dare you say that others are from the country when you are dressed like this?" Wen Yuan disliked the woman without concealing it.
"You!" The woman was so angry that she started to argue with Wen Yuan, "Why don't you tell me what's wrong with my outfit?!"
Wen Yuan walked up to her and looked around, "Look, the plain silver hairpin is a material that has long been out of fashion in the capital. You don't even have any decent accessories on your body. You still say you're not from the countryside?"
"You!" She had an idea and called to the people around her to come and take a look. "Everyone, come and take a look! There is a rich lady who discriminates against country people!"
Wen Yuan would never discriminate against country people, but she had long expected the woman's behavior, "Oh, I discriminate against country people? Didn't you first say that I am from the country? Why can you say it, but I can't?"
The people around looked at Wen Yuan and the others around her and thought... It is normal for a woman with such gorgeous clothes and such a noble temperament not to want to interact with country people. Besides... it was not this woman who first said that the other person was from the country. Human?
There were also sober people present who saw the truth from beginning to end.
"Okay, then even if I am a countryman, is it possible that the second young master is also a countryman? Do you know how big my business is, why don't I just buy a pearl from you? You can give me as much money as you want, and it's not like I can't afford it. .”
Wen Yuan felt that there was something wrong with this woman's brain, "I said, no sale, no sale, do you understand these two words? Do you know what no sale means? Even if you have a thousand pieces of gold, I am not willing to give it to you. "
She repeated it several times in order to let this group of people understand that this pearl belonged to her and she would not sell it if she said she would not. It would not be anyone else's turn to question it.
"You are really stubborn." The second son of the Xie family looked unkind and looked like he was ready to rob him.
There are many followers behind him, but if he really wants to take action, what will happen to Shen Huaiyan and the others' opponents?
I'm afraid they can't even defeat the white cat.
"Hey, looking at you like this, do you want to take action?" Wen Yuan caught a glimpse of several people who had secretly taken out their weapons. It seemed that they had stopped crying after seeing the coffin.
Xuan Yuan was famous for his bad temper. When he saw them like this, he jumped off Wen Yuan's shoulders and changed his lower body slightly.
Everyone was even more excited when they saw that there was a spiritual pet beside her that could transform. "It's actually a spiritual pet that can transform. Its cultivation level must be high. Let's snatch it from her. The pearl and the spiritual pet will be ours." .”
"I think it will work."
Several people blatantly discussed robbing her things in front of Wen Yuan. Did they pretend that no one else existed?
Some people around whispered to these people, "It's so shameless. A few grown men actually want to steal women's things... It's really embarrassing to us men."
The few people paid no attention to the gossip around them and only focused on Wen Yuan's black cat that could transform.
"Anyway, Eryang Mountain is a place for cultivation. If anything happens, you can only blame yourself for your inability, right?" As soon as the second son of the Xie family finished speaking, he immediately reached out to Xuan Yuan.
Unexpectedly, Xuan Yuan was many times faster than him. The second son of the Xie family's hand was still in place, and Xuan Yuan had already jumped onto the man's shoulder.
The man screamed like this, and others thought it was strange, "Shoulder! My shoulder! It's about to break! You beast, get out of here!"
People around him were still wondering how heavy a fat cat could be and why such a handsome young man could be so weak.
But who knew that Xuan Yuan had cast a magic spell, and now Xie Laoer only felt that his shoulders weighed as much as a hundred pounds.
Xuan Yuan let out a "meow" and then jumped down briskly. He sat for a while and licked his paws before returning to Wen Yuan's shoulders.
"My little kitten isn't that heavy, right? Why can't she bear it anymore and still wants to do something like a little chicken?" Wen Yuan sneered.
The onlookers also started laughing.
"You are such a woman..." The man arched his body and smiled sinisterly. He looked quite scary, but Wen Yuan had never seen any big scenes, so he curled his lips and didn't care.
Xie Laoer roared, clenched his fist and punched Wen Yuan, "I'll beat you to death!"
But before he could touch Wen Yuan, the woman opposite him threw him over his shoulder and hit him hard on the ground.
Wen Yuan patted the dust on his hands and ignored the groaning man on the ground, "I didn't do anything hard, what are you moaning about."
Not willing to be humiliated, the second son of the Xie family quickly stood up and chanted the incantation in his mouth. He kept making small movements with his hands. It seemed that he was going to use magic to shut up Wen Yuan.
I saw a blue spell coming towards Wen Yuan. Wen Yuan couldn't dodge and was almost burned. Fortunately, Shen Huaiyan was by his side and protected her in time.
"If I don't teach you a lesson, you still don't know that you are disturbing Tai Sui."
Don't you want to use magic? OK, let's get it right.
The man Shen Huaiyan hit with one hand had no ability to parry, let alone fight back.
The second son of the Xie family realized that he had offended the wrong person. He quickly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. He didn't care about the number of people around him. "Brother, big brother, I was wrong. Don't fight. Don't fight. Look, you gave me a good piece of land." The children are gone."
If Wen Yuan hadn't been there to stop him, Shen Huaiyan would have beaten this man to death today.
"Get out! Don't let me see you again."
"Yes, yes, get out of here." The second son of the Xie family dropped his shoe when he ran away. The way he turned around and came back to pick up the shoe looked really embarrassed and funny.
Seeing that there was no more excitement to watch, everyone dispersed.
"Okay, let's hit the road. Eryang Mountain is really lively, and we'll meet a lot of acquaintances along the way." Chi Zhaoyue had already packed up the things he had arranged yesterday and urged everyone to hit the road.
Shen Huaiyan echoed: "Yes, but I'm really curious. Princess Ayuan and Yangyang has such a big name, why so many people don't know her, and then come here to cause trouble."
"They all heard about me from the trail. There are even people in the capital who have heard of my name but have never seen me in person, let alone other places."
Wen Yuan's explanation deepened Shen Huaiyan's impression of Long Guo, "I see... no wonder there are so many people seeking death."
"It is better to keep a low profile when going out. If possible, don't expose your identity. As for the second son of the Xie family just now, he was right. Eryang Mountain is a place for cultivation. No one can predict what will happen during cultivation. So when others come to trouble us, they can naturally use this sentence."
Wen Yuan is not a perfect person. She has her own temper. She has always treated people and things in a way that does not offend others. For those blind people who come to trouble her, she can only use her own methods.
"Don't be too merciful to such lowly people. To be kind to your enemies is to be cruel to yourself." This is what Shen Huaiyan taught her.
