Chapter 102: Can Staying Silent Really Kill You?

It was measuring, weighing the worth of this insignificant human before it, deciding whether it was worth making a move.

It could clearly sense that this person’s soul power was weak and utterly feeble! Yet, within her body, there was a force that filled it with dread.

So, it hesitated. Did this human truly possess the strength to contend with it?

Such a high-level spiritual beast, endowed with human intelligence and cultivated to this extent—losing would mean utter ruin.

Deep down, Ji Yin was trembling with fear.

She did possess a powerful demonic soul, but for now, it was merely impressive in appearance. If this winged serpent really made a move, she wouldn’t even be enough to clog its teeth!

The winged serpent slowly lowered its head, losing the ferocity it had moments ago.

To Ji Yin, this was a sign of compromise.

Suddenly, she found herself somewhat fond of this winged serpent. She glanced again at the red flame marten trembling on her body. Both were spiritual beasts, yet why was this one so cowardly?

The red flame marten noticed Ji Yin’s disdainful gaze and dared not utter a sound, continuing to curl up like a frightened turtle.

The purple light surrounding Ji Yin gradually faded.

Chu Yu watched this scene in disbelief. Had Ji Yin really subdued that colossal beast?

Impossible.

Ji Yin slowly shifted her body, retreating backward. The winged serpent made no move.

This was perfect.

Step by step, Ji Yin retreated until she was out of the winged serpent’s attack range. Chu Yu snapped back to his senses and immediately summoned all his strength to rush toward Ji Yin.

Chu Yu, shameless as ever! Did he think she didn’t know why he had returned? It was clearly to seek revenge. He wanted to kill her at any moment!

“Do you think… it won’t eat us anymore?” Chu Yu glanced nervously at the winged serpent, trembling.

Ji Yin sensed the winged serpent behind her stir.

Every hair on her body stood on end!

“Shut up!”

“You useless fool, how did you manage to intimidate such a colossal beast?”

Ji Yin suddenly unleashed all her strength and charged forward wildly!

Chu Yu was a step behind but quickly caught on.

That massive beast, which had just been motionless, suddenly reversed its decision and launched an attack again!

The winged serpent moved! The ground trembled beneath its motion!

The white figure swooped low to the ground, rapidly pursuing Ji Yin and Chu Yu!

Ji Yin silently rejoiced that before she became strong enough to crush everything in the Flowing Slash Star phase, she had trained herself to escape at an extraordinary speed.

Chu Yu, aided by the wind, was not far behind and quickly caught up to Ji Yin.

The winged serpent’s roar was right behind them, as if even the slightest delay would mean being swallowed whole!

In her heart, Ji Yin cursed Chu Yu a thousand times!

With all his talk, damn it! Didn’t he understand these spiritual beasts could understand human speech? She had pretended for so long, causing the winged serpent to drop its intent to fight her, but Chu Yu’s few words blew their cover!

Couldn’t he just keep quiet? Ah! Could he really keep quiet? Let Chu Yu go and be chewed on by the winged serpent!

…

By the riverbank stood several people, clad only in undergarments. A few pieces of clothing hung on nearby branches.

“Have you seen Young Master Chu?” Du Wei asked his subordinate.

“No, I haven’t. Maybe he ran further downstream?”

“Everyone, put on your clothes and let’s go find Young Master Chu.”

“Yes!”

Just as they prepared to dress, a sudden disturbance came from upstream. Two people were sprinting rapidly toward them.

One was Young Master Chu, and the other…
