Chapter 7: The Ice Serpent

【Liu Yuwei:

The ancestor of Qi Yuan, the incarnation of Reiki.

The eldest lady of the Liu family is brutal and willful, lawless, and has a mysterious background. 】

The so-called spirit beast is a kind of immortal beast bred by heaven and earth, which originally only existed in the heavenly realm, and later in the battle of gods and demons, the demon venerable accidentally broke the heavenly pillar, resulting in the destruction of the heavenly realm spirit yuan division, and many immortal beasts were left in the human world and became spirit beasts.

Spirit beasts are naturally different according to different realms, and as the guardian of the qi master, they need to be with their masters from time to time, but some spirit beasts are too huge, so in normal times, spirit beasts will shrink to a certain size, and with the master, they will change back to their original state during wartime, which is also the result of tens of thousands of years of evolution.

During the Wyvern's attack, in order to avoid injury to the Red Feather Horse, Venbo made the Red Feather Horse shrink back and hide it, so it was not injured. Wen Bo recited the incantation, only to hear a long neigh, and the red feather horse fell from the sky.

Wen Bo grabbed the reins, put his face on the head of the red feather horse, tried his best to stroke the red flame mane, comforted the red feather horse, and after Duan Feng went up, he also worked hard to climb on the horse's back under Duan Feng's pull.

When the two of them sat down, Wenbo shook the reins, clamped his legs hard, and the red feather horse neighed, his eyes flashed with scarlet light, and he waved his wings, and a burst of pale red light came out of his body, and his hooves left the ground, soaring into the air, and headed towards Phoenix.

Duan Mansion is located in the center of Phoenix City, next to the military and political yamen of Phoenix City, but for the sake of convenience, the gate of the military and political yamen is closed all year round, and all important military and political affairs are handled directly in Duan Mansion.

Therefore, the combination of the Duan Mansion and the Military and Political Yamen is much larger than the official mansion of the Emperor.

"What is this?"

The speaker was a young man of about twenty-four or five years old, and the faint stubble on his cheeks was clearly visible. Her long purple-black hair was tied up by a white ribbon and hung down on her back. He holds a white folding fan with a black lotus flower painted on the surface. Two strands of long hair hanging down the shoulders naturally floated on the temples, gently floating with the swing of the folding fan.

The young man looked at the little snake in the cup with a serious expression but a puzzled face, and the folding fan in his hand kept shaking gently.

"Big brother, this is my spirit beast!" Duan Feng called happily.

The young man is Duan Yun, who is humble and polite, with a kind personality, but he is resolute in doing things, respecting his parents and loving his wife and brothers and sisters, and he is a very good young man.

Although Duan Yun's aura is average, he is very proficient in military and political affairs, plus Duan Yun has an excellent reputation in Phoenix City, and he is also deeply appreciated by several seniors in the city, so he is listed as the prince of the world and is cultivated as the future city lord of Phoenix City.

In contrast, Duan Feng was not dissatisfied, not only because the two brothers had a close relationship, but also because Duan Feng had a free and easy temperament, and he was not interested in the art of power schemes.

"Spirit beast, what spirit beast, why can't you feel its aura?" Duan Yun looked at the little snake in the cup, and there was a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Since the snake was too small, Duan Feng simply put it in a teacup.

"It'······ It's called the Ice Snake!" Duan Feng said in a slur manner, "That's right, it's called the Ice Snake, it's a high-level earth spirit beast!"

Duan Feng thought all the way, looking at the cold ice sword beside him, before he remembered such a name to deal with the interrogation of the eldest brother, and besides, the little snake did have a cold feeling to the touch, and the cold ice snake was also worthy of its name.

"Ice Snake, High-Tier Earth Spirit Beast, why can't you feel its aura?" Duan Yun slowly brushed his hand on the teacup, but he didn't feel the presence of any Qi Yuan, so he continued to ask.

"Cause····· Because it hid the Qi Yuan, in order not to let the aliens find it. Big brother, you know, like this high-level spirit beast, even when they are young, they have a certain aura, which is a self-protection mechanism. Duan Yun continued to quibble, and a few drops of sweat could not help but appear on his forehead, but he quickly wiped it off casually, "I don't believe you asked Wen Bo." ”

In fact, Duan Feng was right about two things, this snake was indeed a spirit beast, and it did hide its aura, but it was not the reason Duan Feng said, the spirit beasts that could hide the aura were extremely rare, and generally only the heavenly spirit beasts and divine beasts had this skill.

Duan Feng knew that the eldest brother was also brought up by Wen Bo. Although the Qi Realm is higher than himself, he has reached the stage of the Five Realms Qi King, and he is more than ten years older than himself, but because he has been cultivating at home all the year round, he does not have much more opportunities to go out than himself, so most of his understanding of spirit beasts is also from Wenbo.

As long as Wenbo doesn't poke himself, he can say whatever he wants. Anyway, my father was not at home, and there was no way to investigate.

"Forehead······ Huh?" Wen Bo raised his head and looked at Duan Yun in dismay, obviously not reacting, "Oh!" Wen Bo was noncommittal, but just said "Oh".

Obviously, this did not satisfy Duan Yun, Duan Yun turned to look at Wen Bo behind him, although it was with a questioning look, but still showed a trace of respect.

"Yes······ That is true. Wen Bo knew that he couldn't escape, so he could only stubbornly echo Duan Feng.

Although Duan Yun was still a little skeptical about Wen Bo's words, in view of Wen Bo's status in the Duan Mansion and his respect for Wen Bo, Duan Yun did not ask any further questions.

And for the matter of spirit beasts, Duan Yun just said it casually, he didn't expect Duan Feng to really go to find a spirit beast, if you want to enter the Qi Control Division, the spirit beast is important, but with the power of Duan Mansion, Duan Feng doesn't have to go to such a great deal of trouble at all.

The important thing is that it is also his father's intention to let Duan Feng enter the Qi Control Division, he just wants to test Duan Feng's determination, thinking of this, the corner of Duan Yun's mouth smiled slightly.

"Then you can take care of it, I hope it can improve your qi"

Duan Yun tried to reach out and touch the Ice Snake, but suddenly felt dizzy.

"Is it starting again?"

Duan Yun thought silently in his heart, and retracted his hand, since he had cultivated the Yi Yang Technique, he often felt dizzy, his father told him that this was due to his Qi Realm being too low, but Duan Yun had doubts in his heart, even if his Qi Realm was not enough, the Yi Yang Technique should not have such a serious impact on him from the beginning.

As one of the qi control techniques, Yi Yang Shu belongs to the art of the Yin Dynasty, and very few people have practiced it for thousands of years, because the cultivation of this Qi Control Technique requires the assistance of moonlight, but the moon is also yin, and the two poles of Yin in the world meet, and if you are not careful, it is very easy for people to fall into the devil's way.

Therefore, most qi masters would rather give up qi cultivation than practice Yi Yang Technique, but there is always an exception to everything, due to the huge power of Yi Yang Technique, some Qi Masters will also take risks, but they need to practice under the guidance of Qi masters with higher qi realms to prevent falling into the Demon Dao.

Duan Yun pretended to be calm, holding the folding fan tightly with both hands, but a burst of sweat had already broken out in his palms, these movements were all completed naturally and did not attract the attention of others.

Seeing that he had successfully concealed his eldest brother, Duan Feng secretly let out a sigh of relief, hurriedly closed the lid of the teacup, put the teacup on the table on the other side, and looked at the eldest brother casually.

"Okay, I'm going to the front hall, the autumn festival is coming, and there are still a lot of things waiting for me in the house. Duan Yun turned to Wen Bo and said, "Wen Bo, Feng'er will be handed over to you to discipline well." ”

"Good, good. Wen Bo wiped the sweat on his forehead and pretended to be calm and said, he was not afraid of Duan Yun, but he had never lied in Duan Mansion for so many years, and today for Duan Feng, he actually deceived his young master, and he felt a little guilty in his heart.

Then, Duan Yun walked up to Duan Feng, tried to leave the folding fan with his left hand, and patted Duan Feng's shoulder stiffly.

Duan Feng endured the pain in his shoulder, and from the eyes of the eldest brother, he could see that the eldest brother seemed to be a little absent-minded, otherwise he would not have slapped himself so hard, but he never asked about the eldest brother, and the eldest brother's aura has risen greatly over the years, and his skills are unfathomable, so he didn't think much about it.

"Feng'er, after the autumn festival, you will enter the Qi Control Division to practice the Qi Control Technique, and your father may come back to inspect you. Duan Feng took out a silver waist card from his arms and handed it to Duan Feng, "This is the waist card for entering and exiting the Qi Control Division." ”

"Don't worry, big brother!" Duan Feng replied confidently, putting the waist card into his arms.

Duan Yun looked back at the teacup containing the Ice Snake, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, his hands clenched the folding fan in his hand, and then went out to the front hall.

"Hey, by the way, Wen Bo, you go and tell the young master of the Qi Control Division to open a quiet room for me, and I'm going to start cultivating." Duan Feng put his arm around Wen Bo and said softly.

"Cultivation?" Wen Bo asked suspiciously, "but—" and pointed to the teacup containing the Ice Serpent.

"You have to do a full set to make a play, otherwise it will be easy to show your stuffing!" Duan Feng pointed in the direction of the front hall with his chin.

"Okay, I'll go and talk to Liu Shaosi. Wen Bo reluctantly walked out of the room.

Duan Feng turned around and wanted to take another look at his Ice Snake, but he suddenly found that the teacup containing the snake was gone!

Duan Feng looked left and right, there were no outsiders in the whole house, "Recruited a thief?!" Duan Feng was shocked, "Who dares to come to my Duan Mansion to steal things!? It seems that she is tired of living!" Just wanted to shout, but suddenly calmed down again, and smiled knowingly, "It seems that she is the only one." ”。

"Come out, don't make a fuss, Xiaoyu. Duan Feng stepped into the chair, picked up the teacup on the table, and said softly.

"Oh, Brother Feng, how do you know it's me?" a girl's shy voice came from behind Duan Feng.

Duan Feng smiled slightly, inhaled lightly with his nose, pointed to the air and said, "The smell of purple spirit flowers!"

"Hey, I forgot to hide the scent again!" said a slightly angry and shy voice.

Duan Feng shook his head gently, and said softly with a hint of love in his mouth, "Little child." ”

I saw a woman's figure gradually emerge from behind Duan Feng, and I saw that this woman was wearing a light green dress, a light yellow belt around her waist, and a dark green piccolo gently swaying around her waist.

The woman's temples naturally drooped two strands of chest-length black hair, and a thin waist-length hair behind her back, flowing with the wind from time to time, and a blood-red hosta on the top of her head coiled up the excess hair.

The girl ran behind Duan Yun, put her hands on Duan Feng's shoulders, and held the teacup in her hands.

"What is this?" the woman sat around in one chair, her legs dangling back and forth from the edge of the chair.

"The spirit beast I just found. Duan Feng said proudly.

"Spirit beasts? I've heard what you said to Wenbo just now. Do you want me to tell your big brother?" the woman said mischievously.

"Don't, don't, I'll be honest. Duan Yun told the woman how he was looking for the spirit beast in the Hundred Beast Forest today and how he found the little snake, but he didn't say anything about the situation of encountering the flying dragon.

"Cut! I thought it was some kind of beast, it wasn't anything," the woman said disdainfully, her head tilted to the side and looked at the beams.

"Xiaoyu, can you give it back to me now?" Duan Feng tried to get the teacup from the woman's hand.

The woman's name is Liu Yuwei, and she is Liu Nanchun's younger sister and the eldest lady of the Qi Control Division.

Liu Yu dodged back slightly, and gently stroked the little snake with his hand, and suddenly felt a cool breath hit his whole body, giving people the feeling of being soaked in the cool spring water in the scorching heat.

The Ice Snake didn't seem to be hostile to Liu Yuwei, but meekly wrapped around Liu Yuwei's slender fingers, sliding slowly.

"Don't say it, although this little thing is not a spirit animal, it is still quite cute! Lend me two days to play?"

Liu Yu leaned forward slightly, staring at the cold ice snake in his palm, and then looked at Duan Feng with pleading eyes.

Duan Feng suddenly swelled out an indescribable feeling, and Liu Yuwei, whose eyes were unconsciously avoided, looked away.

Looking at Liu Yu's slightly begging eyes, Duan Feng just wanted to speak, but swallowed back the words.

"Don't make a fuss, Xiaoyu. You know, after the Autumn Festival, I'm going to go to the Qi Control Division to cultivate. Without the spirit beast, I can't even get through the door. ”

"Your spirit beast is fake, how can you cultivate?" Liu Yu said with a slight shake of his head.

"Anyway, let's go first, and then figure it out. ”

"But what about your injuries? Your qi veins have been banned. Liu Yuwei's face suddenly filled with sadness.
