Chapter 13: Eastern Heretic's Fury!

Under Huang Rong's gaze, filled with expectation and tension, Brother Ning Chuan's massive snake head slowly nodded up and down.

The movement was not large, yet it was crystal clear.

Huang Rong's lively, beautiful eyes instantly widened even further, and her small mouth formed an "O" shape, large enough to swallow an egg.

"You... you really understand what I'm saying?!"

She cried out in a broken voice, her tone filled with disbelief.

This black giant snake, which looked ferocious beyond measure, actually possessed such high spiritual intelligence that it could understand human language!

This is simply... too incredible!

After the shock passed, an indescribable excitement and curiosity surged into her heart like a tide.

She grew up on Taohuadao; although she had seen many rare treasures and strange beasts, she had never seen a giant snake so understanding of human nature!

Watching Huang Rong's cute appearance, a mix of surprise and joy, Brother Ning Chuan secretly laughed in his heart.

This little girl is indeed, just as the legends say, quirky, lively, and interesting.

He swished his thick tail to indicate the direction of the water current, then gently tapped Huang Rong's arm with his snake head to signal her to hold his body tightly.

He was preparing to take her back to Taohuadao.

Huang Rong, being as sharp as ice and snow, immediately understood Brother Ning Chuan's meaning.

The excitement on her face grew even stronger.

"Are you taking me back?"

She asked with delight, and without waiting for Brother Ning Chuan's response, she cautiously reached out her hand and gently grabbed the cold yet tough scales on Brother Ning Chuan's back.

The touch was cold and slippery, yet filled with a sense of explosive power, giving rise to a strange sense of security in her heart.

"Great! Thank you!"

Huang Rong said sincerely, her tone filled with gratitude.

Such a fortuitous encounter was an unimaginable surprise for a young girl of her age, full of curiosity about the world.

Instead of feeling fear because of Brother Ning Chuan's non-human identity, she felt a strong sense of closeness.

Brother Ning Chuan's massive body swayed slightly in the seawater, carrying Huang Rong like an arrow leaving the string, breaking the waves towards the direction of Taohuadao.

His speed was extremely fast, many times faster than Huang Rong's previous broken boat.

The waves were still surging, but before Brother Ning Chuan's powerful physical body, they seemed like tame sheep, easily parted.

Huang Rong held Brother Ning Chuan's snake body tightly, feeling only the wind howling in her ears and seawater splashing, yet she remained as steady as Mount Tai.

She was so excited that her small face turned red; her pair of black, round eyes curiously examined the black giant snake beneath her, and her small mouth chattered non-stop:

"Wow! You are so amazing! You swim so fast!"

"Have you always lived in this sea? Are there any other snakes as big as you here?"

"What is your name? Or do you have no name? Shall I give you one?"

"By the way, why did you save me just now? Was it because you thought I was pretty?"

Hearing Huang Rong's barrage of questions, Brother Ning Chuan felt a mix of helplessness and amusement.

This girl's chatterbox attribute truly lives up to its reputation.

He deliberately pretended to be aloof, turning a deaf ear to Huang Rong's questions, and simply accelerated forward silently.

Occasionally, when Huang Rong asked some key questions, such as "Do you have spiritual intelligence?", he would symbolically nod or shake his head.

Huang Rong did not mind Brother Ning Chuan's "aloofness" and continued to talk happily on her own.

"If you don't speak, then I'll take it as a default!"

She tilted her small head, thought for a moment, then her eyes lit up as she said, "I see you are all black, so how about... I call you Little Black?"

As soon as the words left her lips, she felt the snake body beneath her stiffen suddenly, and the forward speed slowed down abruptly by a few degrees.

A faint, almost imperceptible... air of dissatisfaction emanated from the giant snake beneath her.

Brother Ning Chuan felt speechless in his heart.

Little Black?

You actually thought of that!

I, a magnificent six-meter giant snake, destined to transform into a dragon in the future, how can I bear such a name with no style?

Huang Rong, being as clever as she was, immediately detected Brother Ning Chuan's displeasure.

She playfully stuck out her tongue and hurriedly apologized, "Oh, sorry, sorry, you don't like this name?"

Her eyes rolled, and she tentatively asked, "Then do you... have your own name?"

Hearing this, Brother Ning Chuan's heart stirred, and he slowly nodded again.

He indeed had a name, Brother Ning Chuan.

It was just that he could not speak it out loud right now.

Seeing this, Huang Rong became even more curious: "You really have a name? Then what is it? Will you tell me?"

She looked at Brother Ning Chuan expectantly, but saw Brother Ning Chuan only shake his head, ignoring her again, and continued to accelerate forward.

Huang Rong felt a tiny bit of disappointment, but quickly regained her liveliness.

"Hmph, if you won't say it, then you won't say it; I'll guess it slowly later!"

She secretly made up her mind in her heart.

Along the way, the wind and waves gradually subsided.

Looking into the distance, a beautiful island shrouded in clouds and lush with vegetation had already appeared at the horizon of the sea and sky.

Taohuadao has arrived!

Seeing the familiar outline of the island, Huang Rong's heart leaped with joy; she was finally safe!

However, just at this moment, a figure in green, like a lightning bolt, shot forth from the direction of Taohuadao!

That figure moved with extreme speed; in a few leaps, it had crossed dozens of zhang of sea surface, leaving behind a trail of afterimages.

An overwhelmingly powerful aura, yet tinged with anxiety and rage, swept over like a tsunami!

Brother Ning Chuan's heart tightened, and his entire body's scales instantly tensed.

This aura... it is the Eastern Heretic Huang Yaoshi!

He truly sensed the commotion here and has come out to search for Huang Rong!

Huang Rong also saw that familiar figure; first, a happy smile appeared on her face, then her small mouth pouted, and a hint of grievance rose in her eyes.

If her father had not quarreled with her, how would she have left home in anger, only to encounter such perilous situations?

Brother Ning Chuan's mood at this moment was somewhat complex.

Huang Yaoshi's strength made him feel a very real threat.

But at the same time, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

He saved Huang Rong; this is an immense debt of gratitude!

Perhaps... he could use this opportunity to enter Taohuadao?

Although he possesses heaven-defying comprehension and can understand a Cultivation Method on his own.

Yet, standing on the shoulders of giants would undoubtedly allow him to grow much faster!

The martial arts of Taohuadao are profound and extensive; if he could learn even a little, it would surely be of great benefit to his future path of cultivation.

Moreover, Taohuadao is blessed with spiritual energy, and the heavenly and earthly primal qi there is far more dense than in ordinary sea areas, making it much more suitable for a "strange beast" like him to cultivate.

Perhaps Taohuadao could accommodate a "stranger" like him?

Just as Brother Ning Chuan's thoughts were racing, Huang Yaoshi had already arrived nearby.

He saw at a glance his daughter being carried by a huge black monstrous snake.

Although Huang Rong looked somewhat disheveled, she was unharmed, which slightly eased his heart.

But immediately after, when his gaze fell upon that black giant snake with its fierce aura, two terrifying beams of sharp light suddenly burst from his eyes!

A bone-chilling killing intent instantly locked onto Brother Ning Chuan!

"What strange beast are you?!"
