Chapter 246: Chapter 246: Half True, Half False_1
Although Qin Feng said that, he was still afraid of being squeezed too hard.
So, he quickly reached out again.
"Crack!"
There was another crisp sound.
"Clang!"
Two more bars, as thick as arms, were thrown to the ground.
With four bars broken, there was now enough space.
Xiaochan didn’t even have to turn sideways; she simply stepped out in her high heels, strutting with a catwalk gait, clack, clack, clack.
Qin Feng watched with amusement and asked with a chuckle, "Are you on a runway show?"
"This is called elegance, you dumbass!"
"An ’old mother’ here, a ’fart’ there, and you talk to me about elegance?"
"In front of you, a bastard, even if ’old mother’ wanted to be gentle, could I manage it? You’re just a jerk, always messing around with me day and night!"
Xiaochan gave Qin Feng a sidelong glance and asked, "Is what Zhen Haoren said earlier true? Was he really trapped here for sixty years?"
"Half true, half false."
"What about the Hundred Snakes Entwined he mentioned? Is that true?"
"Others cursed like that would indeed have snakes entwining them, but Zhen Haoren wouldn’t. He is a disciple of the Spirit Sect. His ancestor is the Footless God Lord who studied the ’Spirit Snake Scripture.’
No snake on this earth can harm him. The snakes wouldn’t even be able to wrap around him before he took control of them.
However, that Black Dragon, he probably can’t control. Even he has suffered losses from it."
"Suffered losses? What kind of losses?" Xiaochan was very curious.
"I have a little bit of understanding about the Spirit Sect and the ’Spirit Snake Scripture.’ Every disciple of the Spirit Sect cultivates a Spirit Embryo within them. The strength of their Spirit Embryo determines their own power.
Earlier, when Zhen Haoren was taking my pulse outside, I took the chance to gauge his strength.
Although I didn’t know he was a disciple of the Spirit Sect at the time, I’m certain that he has no Spirit Embryo in his body.
The Spirit Embryo is the life source of a Spirit Sect disciple. If the Spirit Embryo dies, they must die.
Since Zhen Haoren has no Spirit Embryo yet lives, there can only be one explanation: his Spirit Embryo is being nurtured somewhere else.
If I’m not mistaken, his Spirit Embryo must have been seized by the Black Dragon and is being nurtured within the Black Dragon’s body. As long as he can’t retrieve his Spirit Embryo, he wouldn’t dare leave Anlong Town."
"If Zhen Haoren’s Spirit Embryo is with the Black Dragon, doesn’t that mean his life is in the Black Dragon’s hands?
So, when he said he was controlled by the Black Dragon, he wasn’t lying; it was a fact?"
"The Spirit Embryo might have been seized by the Black Dragon, or it’s possible that Zhen Haoren let the Black Dragon take it intentionally."
With this statement, Qin Feng confused Xiaochan.
"Let the Black Dragon take it on purpose? Why would he do that?"
"The Black Dragon is between a dragon and a snake. Snakes are mortal creatures, dragons are divine creatures.
If he could nurture the Spirit Embryo in the Black Dragon’s belly, it would be like nurturing it within the belly of a demigod. That would be extremely beneficial for the growth of the Spirit Embryo.
Zhen Haoren’s Spirit Embryo nurtured for a year in the Black Dragon’s belly could at least equal ten years in his own.
With the Spirit Embryo in the Black Dragon’s belly, it would directly absorb the Black Dragon’s spiritual energy."
"If the Black Dragon is such a demigod, naturally it would be very intelligent. You know Zhen Haoren’s scheme, wouldn’t the Black Dragon know it too?"
"The Black Dragon certainly knows Zhen Haoren’s strategy, but it has its own plans too. By nurturing Zhen Haoren’s Spirit Embryo in its belly, the Black Dragon has the chance to transform into a human form and speak human language."
"Turn into human form? Speak human language? Is that really possible?"
"Little snakes turn into pythons, pythons become flood dragons. For a dragon to evolve from a flood dragon is extremely difficult, almost impossible.
Relatively speaking, transforming into a human form and disguising as an ordinary person is much easier."
If that Black Dragon were to transform into a human and disguise himself as a mortal, he would practically be unstoppable in this world.
Zhen Haoren had said that any woman from the Pei Family who caught the Black Dragon’s fancy would have to receive the "blessing" of the god.
If he were to transform into human form, who knows how many girls he would run off and ravish?
Qin Feng’s words made Xue Xiaochan give him a strange look.
"You seem to know so much about that Black Dragon; don’t tell me you’re also something that transformed, just that you’ve already taken on human form, and it hasn’t yet?"
"What do you hope I transformed from?"
"You’re such a dog, definitely changed from a dog. You’re just a despicable little mongrel who’s taken on human form, looking like a human but acting like a dog."
Xue Xiaochan was just kidding; she certainly knew that Qin Feng was not transformed from a dog.
After all, she had slept in the same bed with him so many times, although they never took the final step.
But whether he was human or not, she could still tell.
Any monster would eventually slip up and reveal its true form!
Xiaochan walked over to the secret door and pushed it, only to find that no matter how hard she tried, the door wouldn’t budge an inch.
So, she had no choice but to turn her head towards Qin Feng and ask, "How do we get out of here?"
Qin Feng pushed out his palm and struck the secret door.
"Boom!"
With a muffled sound, the secret door collapsed, leaving a large hole over one person tall.
The two of them went outside and found the Medicine Saint Hall eerily quiet.
All the patients seeking medical treatment had gone, and there was no sign of Hong Song.
As for Zhen Haoren, his whereabouts were also unknown.
Xue Xiaochan looked at Qin Feng, her face full of confusion, and asked, "Did Zhen Haoren run away?"
"He’s been skulking around Anlong Town for sixty years, how could he possibly run?"
"If he didn’t run, then where did he go?"
"He must have made a decisive move. My appearance means that the time has come."
"What time?" Xiaochan asked.
"You’re truly clueless! Almost ridiculously so!"
Qin Feng gently tapped on Xiaochan’s forehead and then said, "Of course, it’s the time to take back the Spirit Embryo! The Spirit Embryo has been nurtured in the Black Dragon’s belly for sixty years, with one year counting as ten, that’s six hundred years.
If he takes back that Spirit Embryo, Zhen Haoren’s spiritual cultivation would undergo earth-shaking changes.
I can tell by Zhen Haoren’s demeanor that he is defiant.
Therefore, he must have betrayed the Spirit Sect and been expelled from the sect.
Without any surprises, after retrieving the Spirit Embryo, he will definitely return to the Spirit Sect and cause utter chaos!"
"What are you planning to do?" Xiaochan asked.
"We came to Anlong Town to deal with the Qiuniu Gold Mine issue, and at the same time, we discovered Old Zheng’s distilled liquor and peanut milk.
So, my idea is very simple: just do what we are supposed to do.
As for what Zhen Haoren wants to do, I can’t manage, and I can’t control it.
After all, he’s a disciple of the Spirit Sect. With my current strength, to provoke the Spirit Sect would be akin to seeking death!
It wouldn’t matter much if I died, but my young wife, you’d have such a hard time being a widow!"
"Who says the old lady is going to be a widow? If you dare die, before the seventh day after your death, I’ll immediately go find another man."
