Abandoned Princesses
Nirvana

Arriving at Shan Mountain, Qiao Rong, Jiang Junwei, and Shen Haofeng immediately put on qinggong to where the snake was. The condition of the snake is still the same. Stay asleep wrapped around the Kunlun tree.

"There are two ways. First we negotiate with the snake, or attack it immediately." Qiao Rong whispered to Jiang Junwei and Shen Haofeng.

"I suggest we negotiate first." Shen Haofeng replied briefly.

"But.Well, will he still give us the fruit? Better just attack." Jiang Junwei opposed Shen Haofeng's plan.

Not only had the discussion finished, Qiao Rong had already approached the tree first. Jiang Junwei who was surprised by the girl's action immediately whispered from a distance, "What are you doing?"

Realizing that someone was approaching his area, the snake's eyes opened slowly.

"Who dares to approach me, the Mighty Serpent of Nirvana?" The heavy sound of the snake made them peck on the spot. The snake started hissing as it raised its head staring at Qiao Rong.

"Great Snake Nirvana, we here want to ask for a Kunlun Fruit. We don't want to fight you." Qiao Rong replied calmly after the aura of the Nirvana Snake pressing down on him was loosened slightly.

"Draw it!! This Kunlun tree has been preserved for a thousand years, and it only bore fruit a few years ago. Are you ordinary people entitled?" The Nirwana Snake started to get angry, the aura around became very heavy to be inhaled by Jiang Junwei and Qiao Rong, yet Shen Haofeng was still able to breathe stably.

"We have no right. But of the two Kunlun Fruits, we only want to ask for one, wondering if the Mighty Nirvana Snake can be generous to give it to someone who is near death?" Qiao Rong reopened his voice.

"I can certainly see the poison in the young man's body. However, no yes still no, I am not that generous. Go." The Nirvana snake again sizzled.

"seen? Just attack!" Jiang Junwei shouted impatiently. He would bet on the cultivation level of Shen Haofeng who was helped by the help of Qiao Rong. Can they defeat the snake?

"Don't regret it young man! I've given you the chance to leave!!!" The Nirwana Snake started to wrath, its body started to leave the Kunlun Tree. Jiang Junwei who had given the cue immediately attacked first towards the snake.

After using the Moon Shadow to avoid the giant snake's bite, he stabbed in his sword towards the belly of the Nirvana Snake. However, who would have thought that his sword was not strong enough to pierce through the scales of the snake.

Shen Haofeng came crashing down, and managed to stab the Nirwana Snake. The snake hissed in pain, but even more wrath. He sprayed his whisper towards Shen Haofeng who immediately dodged. While Qiao Rong who targeted the eyes of the Nirvana Snake, failed because it was hit by the tail of the Nirvana Snake.

Looking at Qiao Rong who had fallen down in pain, Shen Haofeng could not play around anymore. He expended all of his energy, instantly, even Qiao Rong and Jiang Junwei became breathing difficulties. Shen Haofeng started using his flagship technique. His Full Moon Waving Technique was directed right into the right eye of the Nirvana Snake and managed to hit it.

Qiao Rong was surprised by the power issued by Shen Haofeng. Shen Haofeng's cultivation level had at least reached the Heavenly Intermediate Level. However, Qiao Rong did not drag on in his shock and immediately caught up with Jiang Junwei to attract the snake's attention.

The Nirvana snake was already very angry because of his injured right eye and started bleeding from the incision from Shen Haofeng.

Qiao Rong started attacking with his Thousand Feet Technique, but his cultivation level could not be compared to the Nirwana Snake who had been cultivating for a thousand years. Yet still, Qiao Rong's strength now left Shen Haofeng shocked as it greatly increased from their fight from the previous hitmen. At least the current Qiao Rong had already reached the Intermediate Moon cultivation level.

The Nirvana Snake did not intend to play around with them anymore, let alone know Shen Haofeng's cultivation level.

Not long after for the three of them, everything went dark.

*****

"Ouch.." Qiao Rong opened his eyes and found himself in a forest full of shady trees.

"Where's this? Jiang Junwei's? Shen Haofeng?" He was confused and called out the names of the two colleagues who fought with him earlier.

Qiao Rong was fully aware and realized that the place was not Mount Shan at all. Nirvana snakes were also unlikely to take them so far, let alone separate them in an instant. So the most logical explanation Qiao Rong could deduce was that he was in the illusionary world of the Nirvana Snake.

Just as he guessed it, hundreds of small snakes came from around him. Qiao Rong immediately stood up and slashed at the snakes with all his might. The snakes are endless. Slowly, the snakes managed to implant their fang bites one by one at Qiao Rong's feet.

Just as Qiao Rong was about to lose consciousness after being exposed to so many snake venom, he noticed a familiar mark on the head of one of the snakes.

"Yu Hao?" Qiao Rong said quietly and fell asleep in the end. However, after he lost consciousness, the snakes came together and formed a giant snake form, the Snake Nirvana.

The Nirwana Snake wrapped around Qiao Rong's body tightly. Slowly the poison from the can that was in Qiao Rong's body started to come out of the snake's bite marks.

A few minutes later, Qiao Rong came to his senses and gasped in front of him, and there was already a conscious Nirvana Snake watching him.

"How do you know that name? Answer!!" The Nirvana snake hissed impatiently. Qiao Rong simply nodded.

"The mark on the snake's head, the special mark of the Wuling Sect a thousand years ago. My father's favorite snake, don't you think, Yu Hao?" The snake of Nirvana heard it.

"Who are you?! You recognize me?!" The Nirwana Snake replied to Qiao Rong in disbelief.

"Li Wenhua's. The little girl who found you when you were about to die by the farmers of Holiang Village, and brought you home." Qiao Rong smiled warmly.

That special memory invaded the mind of the Nirvana Snake. The warmth of the little girl who saved him, treated his injuries, and brought him to the Wuling Sect. It happened a few years before he received the divine grace and became the Nirvana Snake protector of the Kunlun Fruit.

A single tear fell from the left eye of the unharmed Yu Hao. Qiao Rong simply smiled and approached to caress his old friend.

"I miss you so much. Where have you been after the Wuling Sect was destroyed?" The Nirwana Snake started to lower its vigilance on Qiao Rong and wrapped around the girl's body.

"You can't guess? Here I am." Qiao Rong hugged the cold snake scales back.

*****

Once they are content to tell a story, they are immediately out of the world of illusion. Qiao Rong opened his eyes and looked at Shen Haofeng and Jiang Junwei who were lying on the ground.

Moments later, the two men opened their eyes slowly. Qiao Rong started to stand up and cleaned up his body that had been surrounded by green grass. While the Nirvana Snake began to manifest in front of him.

The conscious Shen Haofeng and Jiang Junwei immediately stood up and prepared to attack with his sword. Yet Qiao Rong blocked them and smiled.

"Take this, as our reunion gift. To pay my life's debt to you." The Nirvana Snake handed a glowing round object to Qiao Rong.

"Kunlun Fruit." Shen Haofeng was surprised that the Nirwana Snake gave it away to Qiao Rong.

"I must keep this Kunlun Tree for thousands of years to come. Take good care of yourself, Wenhua." The Nirvana snake again shed a few tears that turned into flowers when it touched the ground.

Qiao Rong simply nodded and hugged the head of the Nirvana Snake for a bit. Then take Jiang Junwei and Shen Haofeng to leave.

Along the way down the mountain, Shen Haofeng and Jiang Junwei were simply speechless. However, Jiang Junwei who could not help his curiosity immediately asked Qiao Rong, "That was it.."

"Just meet an old friend." Qiao Rong replied briefly with a smile.

Just now Shen Haofeng wanted to say something, yet Qiao Rong instead coughed and vomited so much blood. Just before Qiao Rong's body fell helplessly, Shen Haofeng caught it.

"Stupid girl.. He used Instant Cultivation Pills." Shen Haofeng who checked Qiao Rong's qi flow immediately carried the girl's body and rushed back to the village.
