Better he died now than be forced later into a vow of silence under his coercion!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for herself…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little white snake felt her stiffened body and didn’t care much—her cultivation didn’t require flesh or blood; becoming a ring discarded in this desolate mountain wilderness might even be a form of spiritual training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least in her current view, if she hadn’t been tempted by the convenience of human form, she never would’ve encountered this mentally unstable fool—even two or three hundred years of arduous cultivation would’ve been better than entangling karma with such a person!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Xue clearly didn’t know the complex shifts in the little white snake’s mind—he simply lit a mosquito-repellent smoke cake and tossed it into the temple, waited for the pungent odor to settle, then stepped inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his past life, he hadn’t been an outdoors enthusiast; his current camping experience came entirely from recent cramming—but with modern tech and his lifespan lock as aids, he wasn’t in serious danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a cursory search nearby, he found some dry firewood, clumsily built a fire, sprayed insect repellent, plugged the drone—having flown all afternoon—into a power bank, then finally had a moment to sit, gnaw on a biscuit, and stare blankly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, because he’d just woken up before transmigrating, Feng Xue wasn’t sleepy at all; his insistence on finding a place to rest stemmed less from the day’s hiking fatigue than from the fact that traveling at night was impractical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet even in this boredom, he didn’t waste precious battery on entertainment—only half-closed his eyes, relying on the warmth of his sleeping bag and the fire, waiting for dawn…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tap-tap-tap… tap-tap-tap…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After who knew how long, a soft tapping woke Feng Xue. Though he roused himself as quickly as possible, untrained as he was, he still felt drowsy, half-asleep, and stumbled to open the door—only to see two young maidens standing outside, their eyes and brows radiating allure; one even lightly covered her mouth, emitting a voice dripping with saccharine sweetness—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young Master, you’re so domineering—we’re both just seeking shelter, yet you quietly took the best room without a word.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Xue sensed something off about her words but couldn’t pinpoint what; still, he wasn’t some pushover who gave up his seat just because of beauty, and with sleep still swirling in his head, he didn’t feel like arguing, merely said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So what do you want?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Share this room with my sister and me—how about that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the girl’s squeaky voice, Feng Xue rolled his eyes and frowned:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This room’s not even big enough for a floor mat—you’d better find somewhere else.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the girl seized the opening, thrust her chest forward, and shoved herself inside: “What’s so hard? This bed’s huge—three people can fit. Surely you won’t bully two helpless girls…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the last sliver of moonlight faded, just before dawn’s light broke, the little white snake on Feng Xue’s finger immediately halted her cultivation— for her, who cultivated the Yin Moon Essence, the morning’s purple aura was too scorching; even a single breath of it caused searing pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, she’d never been so greedy for power—but last night’s cultivation had gone unnaturally smoothly; that surge of spiritual energy, far exceeding anything she’d felt before, had momentarily overwhelmed her control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That smooth feeling last night—was it because I begged for his vow of silence? But according to my seniors, begging a vow doesn’t boost talent that much… Or did I accidentally absorb some of his scattered essence? No—that can’t be; my Yin energy is pure, with not a trace of Yang essence!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the little white snake muttered inwardly and calmed her breath, she suddenly felt a flicker of surprise:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Still warm? He must be rich in essence. Too bad! Those two demons haven’t had fresh Yang energy in ages—they won’t rest until they’ve devoured him completely.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the little white snake grew melancholy over her future of clinging to a corpse to cultivate, she suddenly sensed two sinister energies—then felt a jolt: the man had woken up. He stretched vigorously, then stood up with surprising ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How is this possible?” The little white snake, sensing his vibrant, full energy, was momentarily bewildered—had she misjudged him? Was he truly a high cultivator impervious to all evils?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she pondered this, the man suddenly turned his head and waved toward a dark corner:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You two have great skills—I’ll come back for more business next time!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“???” The little white snake, hearing this, was utterly baffled—business? Skills? What the hell? When did those two demons switch careers?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faintly, she even heard a string of foul curses—so vulgar, even an animal couldn’t bear to listen!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the man seemed completely deaf—he strode with unshakable confidence to the corner, unfastened his belt, relieved himself, and instantly, the two demons cursed even louder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little white snake opened her mouth to speak, then closed it; opened it again, then closed it—watching as he picked up his bag, hung several strange square objects on the outside, and stepped out of the ruined temple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1250,"2026-06-20T04:32:49.208Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","5213a8ed87a3dde8c00f6b9c5c8a40d3015d8a6161cb0b34415fef3a871fd4e8","i-must-immediately-strike-it-lucky-chapter-8","i-must-immediately-strike-it-lucky-chapter-6",365,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-must-immediately-strike-it-lucky-cover.jpg"]
