Chapter 163: Ice Python
Yu Beixuan’s luck was quite good. The moment he was teleported in, he landed on Black Tortoise Mountain.
There wasn’t a single enemy around him—and right in front of him stood an entire mature Ice Spirit Fruit tree.
For a moment, Yu Beixuan almost thought he had fallen under an illusion.
Ice Spirit Fruits could help soul cultivators and exotic beasts with ice-attribute constitutions cultivate more effectively. They worked at any rank—the only difference was how strong the effect would be.
Fruits like this were highly sought after outside. There shouldn’t be so many left untouched.
After observing the surroundings, Yu Beixuan understood.
Beside the Ice Spirit Fruit tree was a nest of Ice Pythons. Ordinary students simply wouldn’t dare approach.
Ice Pythons were only mid-tier high-grade exotic beasts, but in this nest there were three fourth-rank Ice Pythons. Most freshmen’s soul pets hadn’t reached that level.
Even Yu Beixuan’s three soul pets hadn’t reached fourth rank.
But Yu Beixuan wasn’t in a hurry. After realizing that the Ice Pythons didn’t dare approach him, he casually began picking fruit right in front of them with his three soul pets.
The Ice Pythons were extremely displeased, but none dared move closer.
Even the three fourth-rank Ice Pythons only stared at Yu Beixuan coldly.
There was no helping it. Although their cultivation was slightly higher than that of Yu Bei Tiger and the others, the bloodlines of the three soul pets opposite them suppressed theirs completely. They didn’t dare act rashly.
At first, they assumed Yu Beixuan wouldn’t pick all the fruit. After all, the terrain here was special. In the past, those noisy students who entered would always leave at least one-third behind.
That wasn’t a hard rule, though—it was just a matter of personal morals.
Unfortunately, Yu Beixuan’s moral standards weren’t quite that high.
He knew that exhausting the pond to catch all the fish wasn’t wise—but the tree was still there. What did it matter if he picked all the fruit? It would grow again.
It might take a long time.
But that was fine. Weren’t these cultivation resources meant to nurture talent?
Yu Beixuan planned to give all the Ice Spirit Fruits to his elder brother, Yu Beimo. With his brother’s talent, these fruits would certainly be put to full use—worthy of their existence in this world.
The three fourth-rank Ice Pythons had no idea what Yu Beixuan was thinking. They only felt that he was shameless—he wasn’t planning to leave them even a single fruit!
When only five or six fruits remained on the tree, the anger of being robbed finally overcame their fear of bloodline suppression. All three lunged at Yu Beixuan at once.
They thought: although those three soul pets looked powerful, humans were fragile!
As long as they killed this human, his three soul pets would suffer a severe backlash. Then the three of them would have a chance.
If they were lucky enough to kill those three high-bloodline beasts, perhaps they could even advance by devouring their blood.
Unfortunately, imagination was beautiful; reality was harsh.
The moment they approached Yu Beixuan, he knocked them unconscious—one punch each.
Ever since learning how strong Si Er was, Yu Beixuan had eaten all the Strength Watermelons and watermelon juice Si Er had given him. His strength had increased significantly.
The Ice Pythons could never have imagined they’d be knocked out by sheer brute force!
Yu Bei Tiger hopped out and began scolding their limp bodies.
“They’re really bold, daring to attack Xuanxuan. Look at them now—lying flat.”
“But Xuanxuan, you seem much gentler than before. You only knocked them out instead of killing them.”
“That’s not your usual style!”
Yu Beixuan chuckled. “What do you think I should’ve done?”
“Obviously skin them, dig out their gallbladders—those can be sold for soul stones!”
“After stripping everything valuable, we could turn the rest of the meat into dried snake jerky.”
Yu Beixuan smiled. “Do you like snake jerky that much?”
“Not really,” Yu Bei Tiger shook his head. “But lots of snake-type or ice-type exotic beasts like it. It’ll definitely sell.”
“Besides, your jerky-making skills are pretty good.”
The strength and nutrients were preserved to the greatest extent, and the flavor wasn’t bad—just a bit dry. Not as fragrant as Si Yi’s barbecue, but still quite decent.
Yu Beixuan sighed helplessly. “It’s not appropriate to kill them here. Many exotic beasts in Great Four Symbols Mountain are kept for a reason.”
“Although the rules don’t explicitly forbid it, as long as your life isn’t threatened, it’s better not to kill.”
He figured that if one punch could knock them out, there was no need to waste more effort.
Besides, Si Er was always calling him cute. Yu Beixuan couldn’t help but wonder—maybe Si Er liked the cute type?
If he acted too brutal, would Si Er stop liking him?
He wouldn’t completely change his nature just for Si Er—but putting on a show was necessary.
There were recording stones everywhere. He didn’t want any bloody, violent scenes captured and accidentally seen by Si Er.
Yu Bei Tiger didn’t understand all that, but aside from when he got love-brained, he was very obedient.
“If Xuanxuan says don’t kill, then we won’t.”
Still unwilling to let it go, Yu Bei Tiger gave each of the three unconscious snakes two heavy slaps, swelling their heads instantly.
The other snakes in the nest had already hidden themselves away, thinking that the human and tiger outside were terrifyingly violent. They wouldn’t survive even a single hit—better to stay hidden.
Yu Beixuan didn’t make things difficult for them. After picking all the fruit, he left with his three soul pets.
He always felt like he only had three soul pets. Yu Bei Turtle, being too young and too weak, was often ignored.
When awake, Yu Bei Turtle either sang, “So hungry, so hungry, I’m really so hungry,” or constantly nagged, “Mianmianmianmian! I want Mianmian! I want to see Mianmian…”
At first, Yu Beixuan patiently tried to soothe him, though it rarely worked.
Later, he consoled him while building up his own mental fortitude: It’s just a hatchling. Forgive it. It’s still young…
Eventually, the moment Yu Bei Turtle transmitted his voice, Yu Beixuan already knew what was coming. If it was hunger, he’d feed it a bit. If it was calling for Mianmian, he’d knock it out directly.
According to Guagua, based on Mianmian’s habits, it would sleep constantly until reaching third rank. So even if Yu Bei Turtle saw it now, nothing would come of it.
No matter how enthusiastically he greeted Mianmian, the only response was “zzz.”
Later still, after realizing that calling for Mianmian would always get him knocked out, Yu Bei Turtle limited himself to chanting about hunger.
In response, Yu Beixuan started feeding him three meals a day—then knocking him out afterward.
As a result, Yu Bei Turtle completely lost his sense of presence.
Especially since feeding could be delegated to Yu Bei Eagle.
For some reason, Yu Bei Eagle adored the little turtle that chirped for food. Every day, he was extremely enthusiastic about feeding Yu Bei Turtle.
