My Five Bigshot Seniors: I am The Most Coddled Junior!-Chapter 391 - 71: [Second Update]

The tree was only about the height of a person, with not too many branches, just four or five sprouting from it.

The branches were adorned with dark green leaves, and beside the leaves, there were palm-sized flowers in red and pink, looking extremely beautiful. These were the Bicolor Time颜 Flowers.

"Brother Rong, look, it’s the Bicolor Time颜 Flowers." Gu Qingqing pointed at the tree and exclaimed to Rong Ye joyfully.

Rong Ye turned his head, following Gu Qingqing’s finger, and indeed saw the Bicolor Time颜 Flowers growing on the tree, feeling a bit surprised too.

"Great, with the Bicolor Time颜 Flowers, my task list only has the Red Xuan Rice Fruit left." Thinking of his task list, Rong Ye said happily.

"Yes, yes, you’re right. Let’s quickly pick the Bicolor Time颜 Flowers." Gu Qingqing nodded, speaking in a light-hearted tone.

Rong Ye nodded. Since the Bicolor Time颜 Flowers were growing on the other side of the Cold Pond, to get there, they needed to cross the Cold Pond. Rong Ye was about to glide over with a tap of his toes when he felt someone tugging on his sleeve. Turning back, he saw Gu Qingqing holding onto his sleeve and gave her a puzzled look.

"Brother Rong, wait a moment, Little Yu says there’s something under the Cold Pond, so don’t go over just yet." Gu Qingqing held onto Rong Ye, speaking seriously, with a hint of regret flashing in her eyes. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

She had completely forgotten that in a place like the Cold Pond, which could grow Bicolor Time颜 Flowers, there must be something beneath it. They couldn’t just rush in blindly. If Rong Ye had gone over recklessly, he might have gotten hurt, and she wouldn’t be able to forgive herself!

Hearing this, Rong Ye hesitated, then came to his senses, retracting his foot, and gestured to Gu Qingqing with his eyes, indicating he wouldn’t go over, so she could let go of his sleeve.

"Did Little Yu say what’s under the Cold Pond?" He looked at Little Yu in Gu Qingqing’s arms and asked.

Gu Qingqing shook her head, "Little Yu said the Cold Pond affects its senses a bit. It can only sense that there’s something underneath, but not what exactly it is."

Little Yu turned over in Gu Qingqing’s arms, feeling a bit down for not being able to help. Gu Qingqing quickly comforted it, stroking its fur, and it let out a soft whimper, rubbing against her palm.

"Senior Sister Gu, Brother Rong, how about I go over and take a look first?" Zhang Mu, seeing Gu Qingqing and Rong Ye silently gazing at the Cold Pond, offered with a quick glance between them.

"No!"

"No need!"

Both Gu Qingqing and Rong Ye rejected Zhang Mu’s suggestion at the same time.

"We don’t even know what’s down there, why would you want to go over? Your cultivation is not as high as mine and Geng Geng’s. Are you tired of living? If anyone should go, it should be Geng Geng and me." Rong Ye looked sternly at Zhang Mu, his words rather harsh.

"Brother Rong is right. Our cultivation is higher. If anyone’s going, it should be Brother Rong and me. Why are you in such a hurry?" Gu Qingqing also rolled her eyes at Zhang Mu, thinking his suggestion was really terrible.

Zhang Mu, seeing the two glaring at him, felt his heart racing, quickly shrank his neck, and timidly looked at them, indicating through his actions that he realized he was wrong. Only then did they seem satisfied.

"Geng Geng, you stay here. I’ll go over first to check it out. If I encounter any danger, you guys should retreat." Rong Ye, seeing Zhang Mu had settled down, turned his head, looking at Gu Qingqing, and said.

"No way, Brother, your injury isn’t fully healed yet. If anyone should go, it should be me. Don’t be reckless." Gu Qingqing, of course, couldn’t let Rong Ye go. His shoulder injury hadn’t fully recovered, reducing his combat strength. What if something happened?

Just as Gu Qingqing and Rong Ye were arguing, Little Yu suddenly leapt out of Gu Qingqing’s arms, its body enveloped in a blue light. When the light dissipated, it had transformed into its adult form, landing on the ground.

"Geng Geng, leave it to me." It looked at Gu Qingqing, speaking softly. This time its voice was no longer that of a youth but of an adult male.

Gu Qingqing and Rong Ye were taken aback for a moment, Gu Qingqing looked at Little Yu, somewhat worried.

"Little Yu, are you sure it won’t be dangerous for you to go?" She hesitated a bit, since they weren’t clear about what was beneath the Cold Pond, and if something happened to Little Yu, she’d be heartbroken.

"It’ll be fine, Geng Geng, you forgot, didn’t you? My cultivation is higher than yours now." Little Yu shook its head, with laughter in its voice.

With Little Yu’s reminder, Gu Qingqing finally realized that Little Yu’s cultivation had already surpassed hers and was no longer in need of her protection.

"Don’t worry, Gu Qingqing, I’ll be fine." Little Yu looked at Gu Qingqing again, speaking very seriously before turning around and leaping off, flying towards the direction of the Bicolor Time颜 Flower.

Gu Qingqing instinctively wanted to reach out and grab Little Yu, but her hand halted halfway and retracted as she nervously watched the water’s surface.

Little Yu quickly reached the area above the Cold Pond, and just as it was about to get close to the Bicolor Time颜 Flower, a red tail flew out of the water, stirring up a splash, and swung towards Little Yu. If it hit, Little Yu would definitely be injured.

In mid-air, Little Yu tilted its head to the side, dodging that tail without getting hit, while simultaneously extending a claw to swipe at the tail. Its claws were very sharp, directly scraping off a pile of red scales, revealing the tender flesh inside the tail.

Just as its body landed on the opposite side of the Cold Pond, the owner of the tail emerged from the depths of the pond.

It was a large red, flat-headed snake with two pairs of wings resembling those of a cicada on its back. Its body was over twenty meters long, and its wings were also very long, spanning about five to six meters when spread out. As it appeared in front of Gu Qingqing and the others, its wings spread wide, giving the impression of blotting out the sky.

"It’s a True Immortal Middle Stage spirit beast, the Four-Winged Blood Python!" Rong Ye remarked with a troubled expression as he looked at the spirit beast in mid-air.

Gu Qingqing’s face wasn’t good either. Compared to the Four-Winged Blood Python, Little Yu seemed small, even though she knew Little Yu had the True Immortal Peak cultivation, she had never seen Little Yu fight before, which made her a bit worried about Little Yu, fearing it wouldn’t be able to beat this Four-Winged Blood Python.

The Four-Winged Blood Python, upon seeing Little Yu, had a cold expression in its lantern-sized eyes, with a hint of greed deep within. After all, Little Yu possessed Dragon bloodline, and had previously refined a Dragon heart, making the bloodline aura even stronger. For snake spirit beasts like itself, the ultimate pursuit is to transform into a Dragon, and it was no exception. Swallowing Little Yu, who had Dragon bloodline, would greatly aid its path to Dragon Transformation!

Little Yu naturally sensed the covetous gaze of the Four-Winged Blood Python. It understood the importance of bloodline better than the Blood Python, a flash of anger crossed its eyes, and its body rose into the air to a height parallel with the Four-Winged Blood Python, suddenly enlarging a bit before furiously roaring at it.

"Roar!"

With its roar, an invisible bloodline pressure spread out. Gu Qingqing and the others couldn’t sense it clearly, but the Four-Winged Blood Python felt the suppression from the bloodline, involuntarily trembling slightly, generating a touch of fear in its heart, yet the greed in its eyes deepened significantly.

"Gu Qingqing, seize the opportunity to pick the Bicolor Time颜 Flower, I’ll handle this little snake!" Little Yu glanced at Gu Qingqing and the others and suddenly spoke.

"Be careful, Little Yu!" Gu Qingqing nodded, not forgetting to remind Little Yu to be careful as well.

With Gu Qingqing’s concern, Little Yu felt invigorated, stomping its forelimb heavily in the air before charging towards the Four-Winged Blood Python.

Despite being suppressed by the bloodline, the Four-Winged Blood Python’s strength wasn’t weaker than Little Yu’s. The suppression was truly limited, and it could still strike at Little Yu. Thus, when Little Yu flew over, it instinctively opened its mouth wide, also flying towards Little Yu, trying to bite down on it.

Of course, Little Yu wouldn’t let the Four-Winged Blood Python bite it. As it was about to get close to the Blood Python, it suddenly turned, coming to the Blood Python’s back, then swiftly swiped a claw at the back of its head.

Its claws were extremely sharp, with very long nails. The scales of the Four-Winged Blood Python had strong defense; if it were Gu Qingqing and the others, they’d probably have to exert themselves to break through the Blood Python’s defense, but Little Yu didn’t have to.

With a fierce scratch, a long wound appeared on the back of the Four-Winged Blood Python’s head, and large adult-hand-sized scales constantly fell from its head, blood dripping down onto the water’s surface, causing ripples and quickly dyeing the Cold Pond red.

The Four-Winged Blood Python didn’t expect Little Yu to be so formidable, injuring it consecutively, and it was both astonished and infuriated. It turned its head, directly whipping its tail towards Little Yu’s body.

Little Yu’s size was smaller than the Four-Winged Blood Python’s, its movements incredibly agile and swift. As the Blood Python’s tail swung over, it already evaded, arriving in front of the Blood Python.

The Blood Python flicked its tongue out, attempting to wrap Little Yu up and swallow it into its stomach, but Little Yu caught the tongue with its claws, making two deep scratches on it, leaving several long wounds and causing the Blood Python intense pain.

Its body struggled violently in mid-air, flapping its wings at Little Yu, shaking its head vigorously, seemingly trying to toss Little Yu off its tongue.

Little Yu kept changing positions. No matter how agile the Blood Python’s tail was, it couldn’t reach Little Yu, while Little Yu circled around the Blood Python, removing many scales with its claws and leaving numerous wounds on the Blood Python’s body.

"Hiss!"

The Four-Winged Blood Python was nearly driven mad. Initially, it thought that although Little Yu possessed Dragon bloodline, it was too weak, appearing so small that it might not withstand a tail swipe. Who would have thought Little Yu was such a tough opponent? It had only been a short fight, yet it was covered in injuries inflicted by Little Yu, losing countless scales and was in pain all over, looking miserable!

It was extremely vexed, harboring immense hatred towards Little Yu, thus driving it to attack even more intensely.
