Just as Li Rui was lamenting, a sudden sound of a flute entered his ears.
The melody was tranquil and light, melodious and pleasing.
Li Rui turned his head almost simultaneously with the giant snake, looking towards the source of the flute sound.
Under the moonlight, a small boat floated over, and a woman in white stood at the bow, playing the Dizi. Her figure was stunning, evoking deep thoughts.
"Is this the fairy sent by the old man to save me?"
Li Rui pondered silently.
It seemed that this heartfelt thought touched something above; the giant snake, which had been staring at Li Rui, suddenly twisted its body and swiftly dove into the water, heading towards her.
"Oh no, Miss Heart!"
Although Li Rui's body was stiff, he still exerted all his strength to call out a warning to Miss Heart.
Splash!
The giant snake moved at lightning speed and in the blink of an eye was right in front of them. It opened its massive mouth wide, intending to swallow both the fairy and the boat in one bite.
Crack!
The boat was bitten to pieces by its two rows of sharp white teeth.
However, the fairy leaped into the air just in time, narrowly avoiding its snake-like jaws. With a clang, she drew a gleaming longsword and thrust it forward in mid-air.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
A stream of Sword Qi shot towards the giant snake's head with her movements.
"Mooh"
The giant serpent raised its head and let out a strange roar, spewing forth a massive wave of water that scattered the incoming Sword Qi in all directions.
After the strike, the giant serpent fell back into the water with a splash, while the fairy landed on the surface, walking on water.
Soon, the giant serpent resurfaced, its massive tail swinging towards the fairy.
The fairy leaped up, avoiding the serpent's tail, and thrust her Longsword downwards, creating a fine scratch on the serpent's scales with a ringing sound.
"Mooh"
The giant serpent was evidently enraged and unleashed another barrage of water arrows from its mouth towards the fairy.
"Ding ding ding ding"
The fairy danced with her Longsword, silver sword shadows surrounding her like countless silver stars swirling around her body. The scene was breathtakingly beautiful and created an impenetrable defense.
The giant serpent, unwilling to back down, let out an angry roar and half of its body emerged from the water, swiftly circling around the fairy.
The fairy swung her sword, attacking continuously around the serpent's body but could not escape the giant serpent's path. In no time, that area formed a massive whirlpool.
The whirlpool gradually rose higher, quickly transforming into a dragon sucking water, pulling both the giant serpent and the fairy into it.
The tornado rose higher and higher, reaching about a hundred feet, almost connecting with the sky, exuding an overwhelming presence.
Inside, there were rumbling sounds and flickering lights, indicating that both sides were engaged in a fierce battle.
Suddenly, a blinding silver light shot up from within, followed by a thunderous boom as the tornado exploded apart, turning into a torrential downpour that fell in all directions.
A white figure flew out and crashed onto the edge of the island with a loud bang, creating huge waves.
"Wow!"
The overwhelming waves poured down on Li Rui, forcing him to close his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, Li Rui saw that the giant snake was quietly floating not far away, its once fierce gaze now hollow and lifeless, with a massive bloody hole in its head, clearly dead.
As his gaze shifted, Li Rui noticed that the fairy was lying not far from him, already unconscious, half of her body submerged in the water, swaying with the waves.
Li Rui quickly summoned the little strength he had left to crawl over and grab her, then did his best to drag her to shore.
Getting closer, he could see that she was indeed stunningly beautiful—almond-shaped eyes, an elegant face, willow-leaf eyebrows, delicate lips and nose, with rounded and graceful facial features that exuded classical beauty.
Due to her clothes being soaked, her curvaceous figure was clearly displayed before Li Rui's eyes.
The torn fabric from the battle even revealed several patches of her snow-white and delicate skin, making her look incredibly enchanting under the moonlight.
"Wow, this girl is really gorgeous!"
This was Li Rui's most immediate impression; as for other words to describe a woman's beauty, he couldn't quite process them.
"Wow, so beautiful and so fair... Miss, are you a goddess sent to me?"
"Having such a beautiful girl at home would definitely be an absolute delight!"
The more Li Rui looked, the more he liked her, almost drooling.
Although he really wanted to see the scenery beneath her clothes with his own eyes, Li Rui ultimately managed to maintain his integrity.
"Since she rescued me from the Snake Mouth, she is my savior. I have decided that if she needs it, I can repay this kindness by marrying her!"
Since she would be his wife in the future, he naturally had to protect her physical and mental purity; he absolutely could not take anything from her.
After a moment, Li Rui came back to his senses and realized that the river had already washed the Serpent Corpse to the edge of the island.
From the performance of this snake, it could already be classified as a Demon Beast. Such a creature was simply full of treasures; letting it be washed away would be a tremendous waste.
Thinking this way, Li Rui had no choice but to muster the little strength he had just gathered and, following the current, tried his best to drag it back onto the island to prevent it from being swept away.
After doing this, Li Rui held the girl and found a dry spot on the high ground of the island to set her down.
This Jiangxin Island was about a hundred meters in diameter. Aside from a layer of mud on its surface, it was mostly made up of stones; otherwise, it wouldn't be able to exist in the river water.
Then, Li Rui searched around for some dried reeds and took out a flint from the pouch tied around his waist. After some effort, he finally managed to start a campfire.
This pouch was prepared by Li Rui long before he set out. Since he had decided to confront the Feng Family, he naturally needed to bring some money and supplies to ensure his living for a while.
Most importantly, there was the Luminous Pearl with the Azure Dragon Breathing Technique, along with some miscellaneous items left by his parents.
After climbing halfway up the mountain, fighting for half a day, and soaking in water for several hours, Li Rui was actually very hungry at this point.
With the fire going, Li Rui simply took the girl's Sword and cut several pieces of snake meat from the Serpent Corpse, then sliced them into thin pieces. He used the Longsword as a grill and placed it over the fire to roast.
"Sizzle sizzle sizzle"
The white snake meat began to ooze fat under the flames, quickly filling the air with a delicious aroma.
Li Rui swallowed hard and was just about to feast when a voice suddenly rang in his ear:
"You used my sword to roast meat? Do you have any idea how much this sword is worth?"
"Uh..."
Li Rui turned his head and discovered that the girl had woken up at some point, gazing at him with eyes like stars and the moon.
"You’re awake!"
Feeling a bit inexplicably guilty, Li Rui greeted her, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "Sorry, it's quite remote here, and I couldn't find any suitable tools, so I had to borrow your Sword."
He held out the Longsword in front of her and added, "Are you hungry? Would you like to eat something?"
The girl blinked and replied, "I can't move for now; you should feed me."
"Ah?"
Li Rui was somewhat doubtful of his hearing.
"What do you mean 'ah'? I can't move right now, so let you feed me. What are you hesitating for, big man?"
"Oh, oh, got it. Please wait a moment."
Li Rui quickly leaned closer to her, pondering how such an unusual personality could have developed in this girl while he picked a piece of meat from the sword and brought it to her mouth.
"Are your hands clean?"
The girl did not reach for the food but instead looked at Li Rui and asked this question.
"This..."
Li Rui was in a difficult position. He was certainly clean in his actions, but the girl probably wouldn't think so. He could only bring the Longsword to her lips and say:
"Then just eat like this."
"Alright."
Only then did the girl nod in satisfaction, opening her mouth to take a piece of meat from the sword and swallow it.
"How is it?"
"It's okay."
"If it's okay, then have a couple more pieces."
"Mm."
"May I ask for your name, Miss?"
"Lan Ruoxin."
"Your name is beautiful."
"Why only praise my name?"
"Of course, you are more beautiful than your name. I was afraid that saying 'you are beautiful' directly might seem a bit abrupt, and I didn't want you to think of me as a lecher."
"Don't worry, I won't be angry if you speak the truth."
"The girl is not only beautiful but also has a great figure!"
"That's just average."
"I have never seen such a graceful demeanor in a girl, completely different from other women."
"Is that not a good thing?"
"Of course it is! You are far better than those superficial women. If you are willing, I would love to marry you right now."
"You seem a bit unworthy of me."
"Miss, do you really have to be so blunt? It's quite hurtful. Where do we fall short of you?"
"I suppose you look alright, but your cultivation level is too low."
"Don't worry, I will work hard to cultivate and will soon catch up to you."
"Let's talk about that when you catch up."
"Miss, do you know that when you saved me from the Snake Mouth, I made up my mind to repay your kindness by marrying you?"
"Your cultivation level is too low to match mine. I won't marry someone whose level is below mine, so there's no need for repayment."
"Miss, do you know that to me, you are like a goddess sent from above? You saved me from the brink of death, and I swear I will marry you."
"You still don't match me. You should give up on this elusive goal."
"Miss, you saved my life, so I decided to marry you. But later on, I also saved your life. Shouldn't you repay me by pledging yourself to me?"
"Ah, let's talk about this when your cultivation catches up to mine."
"Miss, aren't you being a bit unreasonable?"
"I... I'm full, I don't want to eat anymore."
"You're just being unreasonable."
"Who is being unreasonable? If your cultivation surpasses mine, I'll marry you."
"Alright, it's a deal. Ruo Xin, just wait, I will definitely bring you home as my wife."
"Okay, I'll wait for you. Work hard, young man."
And so, after serving Ruo Xin a meal, Li Rui jokingly made a marriage pact with her.
Of course, at that time, neither of them took it too seriously.
