Chapter 964: with translation of chapter title
(line 337)
We need to keep quotes? The Chinese includes 「」 which are quotation marks. Should we keep them? Probably we should translate the content, but we can keep the quotation marks as they are part of the text. The instruction: translate faithfully, never skip. So we should keep the 「」 as they are punctuation. We'll output the translation including the quotes? Usually we translate the content and keep the quotation marks as English quotes? But we can keep the Chinese quotes? Better to replace with English quotes? The instruction didn't specify to change punctuation. It says translate faithfully, preserve meaning. The 「」 are Chinese quotation marks; we can keep them as is or replace with English quotes. I'd keep them as they are part of the source. However output must be plain text; we can keep the Chinese characters? They are not Chinese characters, they are punctuation marks that are universal. We'll keep them.
Thus translate: "Feng'er, big sister, if that's the case, haven't we encountered a Fighting Saint-level magic beast corpse?!"
(line 349)
Thus translation: 「Feng'er, big sister, if that's the case, haven't we encountered a Fighting Saint-level magic beast corpse? ！」
But we need to keep the quotes exactly as they appear? We'll output the line with the quotes.

Translate: Upon hearing it was a level 9 magic beast corpse, Qinglin's pure little face, which also carried a hint of strange allure, instantly broke into a smiling expression with eyebrows raised and eyes bright.
We need to keep natural English. Let's produce: Hearing it was a level 9 magic beast corpse, Qinglin's pure little face, tinged with a hint of strange allure, instantly lit up as her eyebrows rose and her eyes smiled.
(line 381)
We'll output: Upon hearing it was a level 9 magic beast corpse, Qinglin's pure little face, which also carried a hint of strange allure, instantly lit up as her eyebrows rose and her eyes smiled.
Upon hearing it was a level 9 magic beast corpse, Qinglin's pure little face, which also carried a hint of strange allure, instantly lit up as her eyebrows rose and her eyes smiled.
【3】 Immediately, she said expectantly, "I wonder if there's still any remnant soul of this magic beast inside?"
【4】 As she spoke, she turned her head, her beautiful eyes looking toward Feng Qinger beside her and said, "Feng'er, big sister, please step aside a bit; let me try to see if I can use my Emerald Snake Triple Flower Pupil to draw out the remnant soul of this level 9 ancient heavenly snake."
【5】 「Okay. 」
【6】 Upon hearing the former speak, Feng Qinger also became a little curious whether the ancient heavenly snake's soul still existed, so without a word she quickly stepped to the side.
【7】 And seeing the former step aside, Qinglin's eyes widened slightly, emitting a faint green light.
【8】 Immediately, the three green dots in her pupils strangely "came to life," turning into three tiny green snakes that coiled within Qinglin's pupils.
【9】 And as those three "little snakes" rapidly spun head-to-tail, strands of strange energy instantly burst forth and spread quickly.
【10】 「Hiss! 」
【11】 When that energy had only briefly explored the corpse of the nine-headed heavenly snake, the skull position of the corpse suddenly emitted a low, deep roar.
【12】 「Whoosh! 」
【13】 Shortly after, Qinglin only felt a black shadow flash before her eyes, and in less than the blink of an eye it suddenly darted into her body.
【14】 As for Feng'er beside her, she could clearly see a greenish-black energy snake with nine heads fly out of the corpse at great speed, glare at her warily in midair, and then hastily slip into Qinglin's body.
【15】 「Hmph~」
【16】 Seeing that ancient heavenly snake dare to glare at her, Feng'er also let out a cold snort.
【17】 If it weren't useful to Qinglin, she would have already smashed it to pieces with a single palm.
【18】 However, regarding its former strength, she quietly raised her estimate of it considerably.
【19】 Because from that remnant soul of the nine-headed heavenly snake just now, its former strength likely exceeded her previous estimate of a six-star Fighting Saint.
【20】 In life, it might even have been an eight-star, or even nine-star Fighting Saint-level peerless ferocious beast!
【21】 Otherwise, a magic beast not skilled in soul techniques, after falling for so many years, could not possibly retain such powerful soul power.
【22】 Thinking this, Feng'er's beautiful eyes involuntarily turned to Qinglin beside her, and she silently sighed, "This girl, could it be that she's picked up Lin Feng's luck, somehow managing to control a few level Beast and encountering such good fortune? The former strength of this nine-headed heavenly snake could easily annihilate our Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan."
【23】 「Whoosh~」
【24】 As for Qinglin's side, after the ancient heavenly snake's soul entered her body, the position of her fragrant back suddenly burst forth with flashes of dazzling green light.
【25】 These dazzling lights directly pierced through the clothing on her back, forming in the air the shape of a nine-headed green snake.
【26】 Immediately, on Qinglin's smooth fragrant back covered by clothing, a tattoo identical to the preceding apparition suddenly appeared, filling the entire area from her shoulders to her buttocks on her back.
【27】 And after that tattoo formed, the apparition in the sky vanished together with the light from Qinglin's back, with a whoosh.
【28】 「This remnant soul is so powerful! 」
【29】 Seeing the ancient heavenly snake's remnant soul enter her body before she could react, Qinglin's pretty face involuntarily twitched slightly, her tone hinting at surprise.
【30】 Just moments ago, she had thought that relying on her Emerald Snake Triple Flower Pupil, she could suppress the remnant soul of this nine-headed heavenly snake.
【31】 But now it seems she was somewhat careless.
【32】 Because this remnant soul, just now, actually ignored her control and directly entered her body, rather than being confined to the independent space of her Emerald Snake Triple Flower Pupil.
【33】 From this, it seems its former strength might be considerably greater than what Feng Qinger had previously estimated!
【34】 Otherwise, even an ancient heavenly snake, after dying who knows how many years ago and leaving only a remnant soul, could not possibly ignore her Emerald Snake Triple Flower Pupil, which is famed as the bane of all snake-type magic beasts.
【35】 「Wait until the young master returns later, then let him have a look; he should be able to deal with this troublesome thing. 」
【36】 Sensing the disobedient heavenly snake remnant soul inside her body, Qinglin muttered to herself, then her gaze fell on the nine large heads of the aberrant heavenly snake before her.
【37】 Next, she approached one of the withered, massive snake heads, extended her delicate white hand and placed it on the corpse's withered brain, sending a thread of fighting qi into it to examine carefully.
【38】 「No magic core? 」
【39】 After sensing beneath the skin, flesh, and bone of this skull, finding only some dry marrow containing faint energy, Qinglin's beautiful eyebrows immediately furrowed slightly, her emerald-green eyes turning toward another large skull.
【40】 Then she proceeded to the next skull, which, even though it was withered, was still nearly a hundred meters in size.
【41】 「Sigh, it seems the magic core of this nine-headed heavenly snake has, over the long ages, completely dissipated its energy and vanished entirely from the world. 」
【42】 After sensing all nine skulls of the heavenly snake corpse in turn, Qinglin couldn't help but sigh with disappointment.
【43】 She had originally thought she could obtain a level 9 magic core this time, and then, once the young master emerged from seclusion, she could present it to him for credit and get him to stay with her a few more days.
【44】 But she hadn't expected that the nine-headed heavenly snake's body contained not a trace of a magic core at all.
【45】 Thinking that this magic beast's remnant soul had already been taken by her, and that the corpse was already withered to this state, there shouldn't be much value, so Qinglin turned to Feng Qinger beside her and said, "Feng'er, big sister, the remnant soul of this nine-headed heavenly snake has already been collected; let's continue looking for the level 8 snake-type magic beast you mentioned."
【46】 「You, your experience is still too lacking. 」
【47】 Just after the former finished speaking, Feng Qinger gave him a white-eye, then extended a scallion-white slender jade finger and firmly tapped Qinglin's little noggin.
【48】 Then she lightly lifted her round, slender jade legs and walked to the side of the massive nine-headed heavenly snake's corpse, pointing at it angrily and saying, "The value of this thing is who knows how much greater than the remnant soul inside you, and you don't want it?!"
【49】 「Ugh」
【50】 Qinglin covered her little noggin, where the former had left a red mark, with a pitiful expression, then glanced at the corpse, finally pursing her lips and saying, "This nine-headed heavenly snake's body has dried up like this; who knows how many years it's been dead. Even its magic core dissipated due to energy loss—what value could a mere corpse have?"
【51】 「Smack! 」
【52】 However, just after the former finished speaking, Feng'er extended her soft hand and delivered another slap to Qinglin's noggin, then explained angrily, "Don't think that just because it's dried up, the immense energy inside a level 9 magic beast can simply be used up. Remember, those two drops of Fighting Saint bone marrow you previously consumed were also extracted by Lin Feng from the body of a Fighting Saint cultivator who had turned to white bone!"
【53】 While speaking, Feng'er couldn't help but pinch the former's delicate melon-seed-shaped face.
【54】 If it weren't for her being here today, I'd estimate that Qinglin, after collecting the heavenly snake's remnant soul, would have just foolishly left.
【55】 「Ah, I didn't realize that even though magic beast corpses have turned into dry husks, they still have value! 」
【56】 Upon hearing the former's explanation, Qinglin, who had been rubbing her head and face, immediately forgot the pain and focused all her attention on the corpse.
【57】 Since being brought back to the sect by the Heavenly Snake Mansion, she has essentially been kept as a treasure, nurtured well within the sect, and basically never gone out.
【58】 Therefore, regarding these things, she's basically completely in the dark.
【59】 Of course, this also has to do with the Heavenly Snake Mansion's master raising her as a prospective granddaughter-in-law, not wanting her to know too much lest it threaten his grandson's position.
【60】 「This ancient heavenly snake can fight on equal footing with the Heavenly Phoenix and Grand Void Ancient Dragon clans—could it really be as simple as with other magic beasts? Our three major magic beast clans' magic cores have no special means; no matter how you search, you won't be able to find them! 」

Now ensure we didn't add any extra words not in source. Let's verify each line for completeness.
「Feng'er, big sister, if that's the case, haven't we encountered a Fighting Saint-level magic beast corpse? ！」
Upon hearing it was a level 9 magic beast corpse, Qinglin's pure little face, which also carried a hint of strange allure, instantly lit up as her eyebrows rose and her eyes smiled.
Immediately, she said expectantly, "I wonder if there's still any remnant soul of this magic beast inside?"
As she spoke, she turned her head, her beautiful eyes looking toward Feng Qinger beside her and said, "Feng'er, big sister, please step aside a bit; let me try to see if I can use my Emerald Snake Triple Flower Pupil to draw out the remnant soul of this level 9 ancient heavenly snake."
「Okay。」
Upon hearing the former speak, Feng Qinger also became a little curious whether the ancient heavenly snake's soul still existed, so without a word she quickly stepped to the side.
And seeing the former step aside, Qinglin's eyes widened slightly, emitting a faint green light.
Immediately, the three green dots in her pupils strangely "came to life," turning into three tiny green snakes that coiled within Qinglin's pupils.
And as those three "little snakes" rapidly spun head-to-tail, strands of strange energy instantly burst forth and spread quickly.
「Hiss! 」
When that energy had only briefly explored the corpse of the nine-headed heavenly snake, the skull position of the corpse suddenly emitted a low, deep roar.
「Whoosh! 」
Shortly after, Qinglin only felt a black shadow flash before her eyes, and in less than the blink of an eye it suddenly darted into her body.
As for Feng'er beside her, she could clearly see a greenish-black energy snake with nine heads fly out of the corpse at great speed, glare at her warily in midair, and then hastily slip into Qinglin's body.
「Hmph~」
Seeing that ancient heavenly snake dare to glare at her, Feng'er also let out a cold snort.
If it weren't useful to Qinglin, she would have already smashed it to pieces with a single palm.
However, regarding its former strength, she quietly raised her estimate of it considerably.
Because from that remnant soul of the nine-headed heavenly snake just now, its former strength likely exceeded her previous estimate of a six-star Fighting Saint.

As for Qinglin's side, after the ancient heavenly snake's soul entered her body, the position of her fragrant back suddenly burst forth with flashes of dazzling green light.

(some commentary)
"This ancient heavenly serpent can fight on equal footing with the heavenly phoenix and the Taixu Ancient Dragon clan; could it possibly be as easy to obtain as the magic cores of other magical beasts? The magic cores of our three major magical beast races have no special means—no matter how you search, you cannot find them!"
Speaking, Feng'er pointed her jade finger at the nine-headed demon beast's head and explained: "Before, my soul power left my body and drilled inside to explore. If I'm not mistaken, the demon core of this ancient heavenly snake is respectively hidden in these nine big heads. Only by using fire or dou qi to refine, merging the brain marrow inside the dry corpse together, can it become a complete demon core."
What, it's actually like this?!
Hearing the former's explanation, Qinglin's small face instantly showed a hint of shock, her gaze somewhat incredulous as she looked at this huge dry corpse.
She never expected that those withered brain marrow she previously looked down on, once combined, would be the demon core of a nine-step level peerless ferocious beast!
Thinking of this, Qinglin's tender little tongue immediately extended, licking her pink lips, then her gaze blazing as she looked at the heavenly snake's dry corpse, murmuring: "If I could bring back the nine-headed heavenly snake's body, the young master would surely reward me well."
Hehe, forget about rewards, asking him for a few hundred million is no problem.
Hearing this, Feng'er teased the former.
"A few hundred million? I don't want the young master's gold coins; as long as the young master is happy, that's fine."
Regarding the former's teasing, Qinglin didn't catch the meaning, merely muttering softly.
"This girl really doesn't understand anything."
Seeing Qinglin's puzzled look, Feng'er laughed and shook her head, not continuing the topic.
After all, judging by the current situation, this girl entering the Lin Family's door is merely a matter of time.
And then, if Lin Feng gives it to her, I bet this girl will immediately rush over to accept it.
Immediately after, Feng'er shook her head, temporarily dispelling these chaotic thoughts, then turned her gaze to this dry corpse stretching several kilometers long.
She stroked the withered snake skin on the dry corpse's exterior and continued: "Moreover, setting aside the demon core, this body is extremely well preserved, having suffered no damage; furthermore, its overwhelming aura keeps surrounding demon cores from approaching the valley, and nothing absorbs its internal energy, so there must still be plenty of bone marrow and essence blood inside."
"Such demon beast essence blood or bone marrow of this level, put up for sale at an outside trade fair, would be a supreme treasure hard to find even in thousands of years!"
While speaking, a hint of helplessness also flashed in Feng Qinger's beautiful eyes.
Although I relied on Lin Feng using the remnant soul and bone marrow of that ancient heavenly phoenix, together with a large amount of medicinal aid, the heavenly phoenix soul marrow I finally refined successfully allowed me to reach the half-saint realm.
But because that heavenly phoenix's corpse requires feeding on the dragon-phoenix origin fruit, its energy loss is too severe; compared to this nine-headed heavenly snake dry corpse before us, I don't know how many times inferior it is.
