You Are Not the Only Rich Chapter 115

Although it is absolutely impossible for a martial artist to keep his sword away from his body, Asher was also aware of the seriousness of the matter. After nodding in agreement, he turned and walked out of the house.
Shen Qianfeng and Ye Jin looked at each other, both with some worry between their brows.
Although there are many weapons in the world, there are very few magic swords. They are usually controlled by people who are possessed by demons. They act recklessly and create countless killings. In the end, they all die without a burial place. Even if they are from a famous and righteous family, if they don't have enough concentration, they may be swallowed by the sword energy at any time. Therefore, people in the martial arts world rarely use such ominous things as weapons.
"It was fine for more than ten years, why can't he suppress the evil of the Red Shadow Sword all of a sudden?" Shen Qianfeng frowned, "As time goes by, Asher's internal strength will only get stronger, it shouldn't be like this. If it's the inner demon, I would believe him if he was arrogant a few years ago, but now that Ling'er is here, his personality has become more restrained and stable, why is he still affected by the sword energy?"
"I can't figure it out either." Ye Jin shook his head. "I left in a hurry and didn't bring many books with me. I can't find it even if I want to check it."
Shen Qianfeng said, "I just hope nothing happens."
"I'll prescribe some calming medicine for him." Ye Jin patted his chest, "Don't worry too much, it's not serious right now, just be careful not to use the Red Shadow Sword again."
"The Scarlet Shadow Sword has long been half of Asher's life, and now it is a critical moment. It is not easy to ask him to give up the weapon." Shen Qianfeng looked out the door and sighed deeply.
Oliver was sitting on a small stool, watching the little Phoenix and the direwolf eating breakfast.
"Ling'er." Asher stepped into the yard.
"Did we finish the discussion so soon?" Oliver stood up, "I thought it was noon again."
"It's not a big deal." Asher helped him cover his warm hands and lowered his head to k!ss him.
"What's the next plan?" Oliver asked again.
"Ignore him." Asher hugged him.
Oliver was confused. What does it mean to ignore him? What are we doing here?
"Can we not talk about these things?" Asher whispered in his ear, "I don't want to hear it."
"...Hmm." Thinking that he was irritated and clueless, Oliver wisely asked no more questions and asked tentatively, "How about we go for a walk? Just think of it as a way to relax." Although it was snowing outside, there was still a lot of snow. It's better than being bored in a small courtyard.
Asher nodded and went out hand in hand with it.
The street had long been buried in snow, and Oliver jumped ahead, leaving two series of symmetrical footprints.
Asher followed behind, and his mood improved as he watched his childish behavior. He suddenly caught up with the man and picked him up.
Oliver was struggling and laughing at the same time. The two of them were playing around, very carefree.
The secret guard sat on the roof, watching his palace master and his wife go away, his eyes full of smiles, and his worries from last night seemed less.
Maybe the situation isn't that bad...
"I surrender!" The two of them started fighting in the snow. Oliver squatted in the snow and laughed until tears came out.
Asher sat next to him, went over and k!ssed him hard.
"Tired." Oliver panted.
"You are not allowed to sit in the snow." Asher held the person on his lap and said seriously, "Otherwise your bu.tt will be frozen."
Oliver:...
rogue.
Although it was icy and snowy, there was still some warm sunshine, shining brightly on the snow.
"Let's build a snowman." Oliver turned to look at him.
Asher said, "It's something children play with."
"I have nothing to do anyway." Oliver pulled him up, "You can pretend that I'm three years old."
Asher laughed, "Three-year-olds are all naked, take it off and show me first."
Oliver looked at his man with an extremely embarrassed look, "Can you please stop thinking about this kind of thing all the time? It's very ungraceful!"
Although he was not interested in this kind of children's activities, since it was Oliver who proposed it, Asher would not refuse. So I did as he said and worked hard in the snow to roll the snowball.
"Put it here!" Oliver commanded.
Asher put the small snowball on the big snowball.
There was ice and snow all around, and it was impossible to find some stones to make eyes. Oliver was also a little tired, so he said irresponsibly, "Okay, let's do it this way."
Looking at the two strange-shaped snow lumps in front of him, Asher laughed and said, "I just said it was you and me."
"Now it's still you and me!" Oliver grabbed his cheek and said domineeringly, "Dare you say you don't look alike?"
"Let's go." Asher scratched his nose, "I'll carry you back, and we'll get some stones and come back, and take our son and the snow wolf with us."
That's fine. Shen Xiaoshou smiled, lay lazily on his man's back, leaned over and k!ssed his face, "You're so kind."
"Just three words are enough?" Asher walked forward in the snow.
Oliver said seriously, "Whenever I win the first prize in the exam, I will write a long poem just for you!"
Asher was amused. He originally wanted to turn around and k!ss her, but he saw something strange out of the corner of his eye.
"What's wrong?" Oliver pulled his hair.
Asher put him down and walked slowly over hand in hand.
The ice surface that was supposed to be flat was actually covered with numerous twisting marks, as if a giant python had crawled over it, spreading scattered into the distance.
"What is this?" Oliver was surprised.
Asher pulled him to squat down, looked at the marks carefully, and then said, "They were left in the past two days."
"Python?" Oliver's scalp tingled. Ever since a snake fell on his arm while he was bathing, he was most afraid of these sticky, slippery and disgusting things.
"It looks like one, but it's definitely not an ordinary python, otherwise it would have hibernated long ago." Asher said, "And there are far more than one."
Oliver clenched his sleeves, feeling a little nervous.
"Don't be afraid." Asher patted him, "Let's go back first."
"Don't you want to see what happens?" Oliver asked.
"I want to see it, but not now." Asher picked him up, "I'll come here with Liancheng Guyue."
Oliver nodded and hugged his neck obediently - although she really wanted to stand by him, it was obviously better not to cause trouble at this time.
There was a sudden sound of rustling water under his feet. Asher became wary and glanced back.
The ice surface is slowly cracking, revealing a pool of dark water underneath.
Oliver was also surprised when he saw it. He thought it was the ground before, but now it seems that there is actually a lake under their feet?
"Let's go!" Knowing something was wrong, Asher hugged him and rushed in the opposite direction.
Oliver lay on his shoulder, watching the crack suddenly open, and then a giant white python soared into the sky, its eyes were dark green like a ghost, a green film spread out around its head, and it rushed over with its mouth wide open.
"Be careful!" Oliver exclaimed with his eyes widened. Asher reacted so quickly. He hugged him tightly with one hand and jumped up. He stepped across the ice as nimbly as a cheetah and landed in the distance.
The giant white python missed its target, and its huge body slammed heavily on the ice, creating more cracks. The ice scattered in all directions, and more and more giant pythons crawled out of the cracks, staring at the two of them with eager eyes.
Oliver's face turned pale, and he felt like he was in a doomsday movie.
With no weapons in his hands and Oliver in his arms, Asher would not be stupid enough to fight against such a large group of pythons, so he hugged him and ran in the opposite direction. The giant python hissed and chased after him, its slippery body leaving traces on the ice, with almost no resistance, and its speed was as fast as lightning. It even almost caught up with the two of them several times.
Not daring to bring the pythons back to their residence, Asher quickened his pace and threw a flare into the sky for communication.
When everyone in the house saw this, they were all shocked. According to Asher's character, he would never ask for help unless the situation was urgent. So they all picked up their weapons and rushed over, but they were all shocked by the scene in front of them.
Hundreds of pythons as thick as bowls were chasing the two people relentlessly, and they were constantly spewing mucus. The originally cold air was now filled with a fishy smell that was nauseating.
"What is this!" Ye Jin was surprised.
"Never mind him, kill him first!" Liancheng Guyue unsheathed his sword and jumped forward to attack.
With everyone joining in, Asher felt much more relaxed. Shen Qianfeng casually threw him a sword. Although it was not as convenient as the Red Shadow Sword, it was still a weapon. After cutting off the two pythons, Asher hugged Oliver and landed in a safe place. "Are you hurt?"
"No." Oliver shook his head, obviously still in shock.
"Close your eyes if you're afraid." Asher said.
"Where's my son?" Oliver looked around.
"Chirp!" Furball squatted on the head of the snow direwolf, with its majestic little black bean eyes, and was fighting against the pythons with it.
Perhaps because they were in awe of the phoenix, the pythons did not seem to get too close to the two spirit beasts, and only resisted when they were bitten. A python hissed and spit out its tongue, trying to sneak attack the dark guard in front. The fur ball jumped up fiercely and rushed over like a cannonball, waving its little claws in the air. Before the giant python could react, blood spurted out of its eyes. It was in so much pain that it almost lost consciousness and fell heavily on the snow and rolled over. The snow wolf leaped over like lightning and caught the fur ball that fell from the sky on its back.
"Chirp!" Mao Qiudu shook his head domineeringly with some blood on his fur.
Although compared to the others, the pythons' fighting power was not strong, but they could not resist the coming of one group after another. The white python corpses twisted and struggled on the ice, and would soon be fought over and eaten by their companions. The ice surface was dyed red with blood, and the air was full of bloody smell, but there were still pythons pouring out. The howling wind blew up countless red snow between the sky and the ground, like the end of the world.
"Retreat!" Shen Qianfeng roared.
If he had not seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that there were such a large number of pythons under this ice field. And probably because they had been isolated from the outside world under the ice for a long time, their pupils were white and their fangs were bright red, making them look like they came from the underworld.
A prolonged battle was not a good idea. Even if all the pythons here were killed, it would not be of any benefit to everyone. So after repelling the new round of snakes, one group of people rushed to their residence to pack up their horses and food, while the other group stayed behind to resist the snakes until a signal flare exploded in the sky in the distance, and then they fought and retreated all the way to meet up.
The pythons were like endless puppets. They continued to chase on the ice and would not stop even when they were injured. They left one bright red trail after another in the snow.
Oliver's heart palpitated when he saw it, and his hands tightly grasped Asher's clothes.
"Be good, don't be afraid." Asher comforted him softly after noticing his nervousness.
"Well, I'm not afraid. You have to be careful." Oliver helped him wipe away some blood on his face.
"Young Master." The secret guards of Sun Moon Villa stepped forward.
"Why do you only have so few things?" Shen Qianfeng's expression changed.
"A group of pythons also entered the house. When we rushed there, these were the only things left." The secret guard of Riyue Villa said, "The horses driving the horses were also eaten, and only a few spirit ponies escaped on their own."
"And this." Another secret guard raised a sword with both hands, "Palace Master Qin's sword was almost swallowed by the pythons."
Asher hesitated.
Shen Qianfeng frowned, and just about to say something to dissuade him, the hoarse roar of the shadow-chasing palace secret guards came from the distance, "Quickly retreat, we won't be able to stop you!"
Asher's face darkened, and he reached out to pick up his sword. Against this kind of ice monster, the Red Shadow Sword was obviously more useful. Neither Shen Qianfeng nor Liancheng Guyue could compare to him in this respect. The situation was critical, and there was no time for further consideration.
"Asher!" Ye Jin frowned.
"Retreat first, help me take care of Ling'er." Asher handed the person to Shen Qianfeng and quickly went to the other end.
Oliver's heart was in his throat and his brows were tightly furrowed.
In the dry forest not far away, the python group and the hidden guards were still fighting. Asher stepped forward and said, "Everyone, move back!"
The secret guards were exhausted. Everywhere they looked, they saw pythons with their mouths wide open. It seemed that they would never be able to kill them all. They could only hack and kill based on their instinct. But when they saw their palace master, they suddenly felt stronger.
"Retreat!" Asher gave another order in a deep voice.
"Yes!" The secret guards put away their weapons and jumped out of the fighting circle.
Naturally, the pythons would not let him go, and chased after him while roaring and rolling. Asher's eyes were cold and he slowly grasped the hilt of the sword with his right hand. The true energy in his body condensed, and the Red Shadow Sword slowly turned blood red, and the palms of his hands were as hot as fire.
The snow around was melting bit by bit. At the moment when the snakes rushed up, Asher suddenly leaped up, and the Red Shadow Sword drew a blood-red blade in the air. In an instant, the earth trembled and roared, as if countless gunpowder was ignited. The pythons were shocked into the air, and then torn into pieces, spewing out countless blood mist.
Even the secret guard, who had been through life and death countless times, felt a little frightened when he saw this.
"Let's go!" Before the snakes could react, Asher and his men ran to the other side. The snakes then continued to catch up, but their momentum was much weaker than before. After being hacked for two more rounds, their speed slowed down even more. Snow-white, Zi Yanguang and Bu Jingyu of Liancheng Guyue drove a carriage across the snowy field. The snow direwolf followed closely with the fur ball, and the others also used Qinggong and flew away, finally leaving the snakes far away. .
But a new problem also arose, which was... getting lost.
Although getting lost in the snow was no small matter, no one cared about it. After experiencing the life-and-death situation just now and running for nearly two hours, both the people and the horses were exhausted. Three horses lay in the snow and gasped for breath, and the rest of the people also sat on the ground, covered in sweat.
Asher's face was a little pale, and he was sitting with his eyes closed and breathing. Oliver was watching over him without blinking.
"Asher is fine." Ye Jin said, "Don't worry."
Oliver nodded, but his brows never relaxed until he saw him open his eyes, then he hurried over to help him up, "Are you okay?"
"Of course it's okay." Asher smiled, "It's a bit too energy-consuming, just take a short rest and you'll be fine."
"They won't catch up with us again, will they?" The secret guard was still frightened.
"It's land underneath, so it shouldn't be." Ye Jin shook his head.
"Has Young Master Liancheng ever seen such a python before?" Shen Qianfeng asked.
Liancheng Guyue shook his head, "Never."
"The acquisition of Yanjin Town by Zhou Jue is nothing more than a matter of the past few years. The ancestors of the village have lived here for generations. It is impossible that giant pythons have never appeared." Ye Jin said, "What's more, even the house was attacked today."
"So there is only one possibility." Asher said, "These giant pythons were only released into the lake near Yanjin Town in recent years. It is definitely not a natural phenomenon, but someone did it deliberately."
Although it was not stated who it was, everyone present knew that only one person would do such a thing.
"It's absolutely disgusting." Ye Jin felt a little angry. After many battles, this was the first time I saw an opponent like this. He hid in the ice and snow and refused to come out, and his methods were more despicable than anyone else's.
"If they are really raised by Zhou Jue, they shouldn't be targeting us." After all, everyone's decision to live in Yanjin Town was also a temporary decision. Shen Qianfeng said, "Nine times out of ten, I am afraid that the emperor will order an attack on the snowfield in the future, so I have made preparations in advance."
"So, we have broken through another round of his conspiracy." Oliver said, "Then what should we do next?"
"Let's go back to Changbai Snow Mountain first." Liancheng Guyue said, "It's only ten days away. Now that we've lost everything, we won't be able to survive in the snow."
When the pythons attacked Ye Jin's house before, they probably didn't go in because there was a medicinal smell in Ye Jin's house, so they were able to save some food and bedding. The most important thing is that all the medicine boxes were intact, which can be regarded as a great blessing among misfortunes. . After counting the food and grass that some secret guards had snatched from the python's mouth, Oliver did the math and said, "It's only enough for everyone to eat for five days." But the distance from here to Changbai Mountain is at least ten days. .
"If we save some money, it shouldn't be a big problem." Ye Jin said, "The conditions are tough, but the most urgent thing is to find a way out."
The compass has disappeared, and there is no sun in the sky, so it is difficult to determine the direction.
Fortunately, Liancheng Guyue was there. After observing for a while on the snow, they quickly determined the north, south, east and west based on the traces of the wind. Everyone gathered their energy, packed their things, and headed towards Changbai Mountain.
Time is so precious that it cannot afford to be wasted. It is too late to treat all the wounded before rushing on. Ye Jin could only sit in the carriage and let the injured secret guards come in one by one to bandage. Oliver sat aside to help. It took more than an hour to treat everyone's wounds.
"Fortunately, no one's injuries are serious." Oliver breathed a sigh of relief.
Ye Jin smiled, but was a little worried about Asher.
Although he did not witness it with his own eyes when he fought against the pythons, the trembling posture at that time was enough to judge that he had used 100% of his internal strength, which might have stimulated the demonic nature of the Red Shadow Sword. Otherwise, according to the His internal strength definitely wouldn't make his face turn pale after just a few moves.
"What's wrong?" Oliver waved his hand in front of him, "You suddenly stopped talking."
"Nothing." Ye Jin came back to his senses, "I was thinking about the pythons."
"What do you want it to do? Don't panic." Oliver covered the fur ball on one side with the quilt - because he was too involved in the battle earlier, he was a little sleepy now and was sleeping with his belly spread out.
Ye Jin rubbed it with his fingers, "I can't tell, but it is still useful at critical moments."
Oliver said from the bottom of his heart, "I didn't expect it." He thought he would always be just a furry ball, but he didn't expect that he actually had some abilities.
"It's not enough for the beasts to be feared by just two chirps." Ye Jin said, "The phoenix is   an ancient vicious bird. It will become even more vicious when it grows up."
Maoqiu dreamed of being bullied by his brother, so he chirped aggrievedly, curled up into a small ball and hid himself under the quilt.
When will I grow up?
It's really annoying.
The carriage moved forward and arrived at a dead forest at dusk. Although they still couldn't get food supplies, they could find some dry firewood to keep out the cold. After the blazing fire was lit, everyone felt a little warmer.
Everyone sat around the fire, set up an iron pot to cook some porridge and rice, and baked some bread. The Snow Wolf King was used to living in the ice and snow. If he couldn't hunt prey, it was common for him to not eat for ten days or half a month. So he was lying in the snow and taking a nap, leaving the few foods for the others.
Fortunately, the secret guard was accustomed to carrying beef jerky and melon seeds with him on weekdays, so little Phoenix was not hungry. After something like this happened, naturally no one was in the mood to tease it anymore. Furball dragged the paper bag to the front of the direwolf, raised his head and chirped.
The snow wolf lowered its head and rubbed it, helping to bite the paper bag open.
"Chiu!" the fur ball continued to chirp.
The direwolf wagged its tail, signaling it to eat.
"Chirp!" The furry ball's little black eyes are firm.
The direwolf still refused to eat.
The fur ball twisted and twisted, and angrily ran to the tree and curled up, pointing its bu.tt at it.
The snow wolf felt helpless and walked over with the beef jerky in its mouth.
The furball was motionless and very principled.
The direwolf gently picked it up and placed it next to the beef.
Maoqiu ran a few steps in the opposite direction angrily, and quickly dug up the snow with his little paws and buried himself in it.
The snow wolf compromised and lowered its head to eat a small piece of beef.
"Chirp!" The fur ball secretly poked out one eye and looked at it.
In the light of the campfire in the distance, the pupils of the snow wolf were like black jade, and its expression was not like that of a wolf pack king, but rather like that of a docile big dog.
The furball popped out of the snow and squatted in front of it to eat.
Faced with this little fur ball that was not even as big as his front paws, the wolf king naturally would not compete with it for food. He just took a few bites symbolically, and when it was full, he picked it up and carried it to the campfire.
The furball yawned lazily, lay on it and fell asleep.
The dry wood cracked in the fire, making a tiny crackling sound. Everyone sat around with their swords in their hands, spending the quietest night since their departure.
Liancheng Guyue raised her head and looked at the sky, her brows knitted together.
Looking at this, I'm afraid there will be another blizzard tomorrow...
