Wang Hua walked out of the cabin and approached the rock where Jia Yi was sitting and refining the Air cultivation. She had gestured her hands accurately and focused which satisfied Wang Hua. A white aura encircled her but it was faint and feeble which could only assist her with some not-so-practical spells performance.
"Keep cultivating here. I am going to search for spiritual herb around here."
She turned to Xiaojiao who was watching over her human dove from down the rock, "You stay here, and if a menace is close to her just howl as loud as you can." Wang Hua instructed her.
The cub nodded and stood vigilant near the rock. Xiaojiao was always accountable for the assignments given to her.
Wang Hua picked up a dagger and hurried to the waterfall area. There was always a huge chance of earning promising herbs near water. Last night was the full moon and many spiritual herbs had sponged enough Qi.
This waterfall wasn't a raving dangerous one. The water was streaming down like a thick lace and a mild breeze graced the falling strands of water that poured down and filled a large natural pool.
But the rocks at the edges were slippery, rugged, and pointy and some were veiled with green algae that no one would prefer to miss any step and kick the bucket right away.
She explored the perimeter and her eyes caught a glowing green light beneath the water. A wide grin stretched along her lips and she roamed forth to check it was truly the 'Aqua witch herb'. This herb could create a fantastic elixir for humans with bird totems. Jia Yi was lucky indeed.
And…
She rolled her sleeves up and took off her shoes, stepping her foot in the water. The cold water stung her sole but she was lured and didn't mind it.
Water gurgled around and drenched her, and the sound of it pouring down, and crossing cracks filled her hearing.
As soon as she reached it, and was mesmerized by the glowing herb she didn't realize that the thorny bushes rustled behind her and a black horned viper sneaked on the grass, aiming at her back.
"You filthy greedy human." The hissing voice exclaimed only to make Wang Hua freeze, meanwhile, her stretched arm to grab the 'Green Aqua witch' herb remained in mid-way. Her head slowly averted to meet a huge horned viper with glowing red eyes.
A dark demon? She had never seen such a demon or ever heard of it...
She held her breath, her trembling hand holding onto her dagger tightly but it sounded more like fighting a beast with a needle that couldn't even cause a scratch.
The dreamy glistening magical sky of her mind quickly replaced with a dark rumbling thunderous one.
The air overhead ran timid and the numbness of the sliding chill through her spine reached her soles. She couldn't move, it was a 'Paralyze spell' that infused her body after meeting those devil's blood-red eyes.
'Shit… this herb was being guarded by this viper.' She couldn't even cry for help and only her mind was activated, permitting her to watch her end. A formation circled beneath the water and revealed the trap, she didn't have the skill to see it earlier.
Poor Wang Hua, how could you recklessly approach such a herb?
Those large fangs retained drips of venom spurting out to tear her fearful heart into shreds, sick condition wiggling through the bone.
The viper was frantic and soon screamed, "I had consumed ten years of my cultivation to grow and enrich this herb to catch an eagle faerie, you fool mouse tended to knock it off from me."
The snake surged forward to cut Wang Hua's neck and feed the herb with blood when a water droplet came between them and transformed into a guardian fairy and hastily performed a spell.
The spell hit the snake and it soared in the air and a split second landed on the soil. Coiling on the ground, it exuded a purple aura to protect itself.
The paralyzing formation broke and dispersed around the human cripple girl. Wang Hua was panting and her palm rested on her chest.
The fairy was wearing a thin white dress, her hair was as green as grass. Her body sounded breathtakingly exquisite with dashing curves. She was an art that could even seduce a woman let alone make all the men's mouths watery. Her skin was as pale as milk and her amber eyes could spike in through every heart even the hard ones. She was perfectly flawless.
Her thin dress covered half of her big breasts and her green hair strands reached down to coat the rest of her curves so as not to be exposed to greedy eyes.
If not considering her beauty, she was a brute, a potent fairy, and faeries did not like humans. This notion made the girl's blood frost in her veins.
'Perhaps, she wants this herb. But I found it first.' Wang Hua's hand slowly moved to the herb unless those two were busy arguing.
"You idiot viper, did you buy this waterfall? As long as I know this herb grows every one hundred years."
The fairy growled calmly, licking the corner of her lip. Even her voice was charming like a lullaby.
Blood was spewing out of the viper's mouth.
"You bitch, do you see not that human is stealing my herb?"
The water faerie couldn't stand that this filthy rude viper had some guts to insult her. Reaching her arm out, she hovered in the air, she recited an enchantment, "In the name of the Water Goddess, I punish this ruthless viper with the spirit of water."
A ball of water emitting a blue aura formed above her palm and she pushed it forward. The spell swooshed to the viper and there was no way for the faerie viper to dodge this seizure.
The ball of water broke the aura preservation shield and enveloped the snake. The faerie snake roared in agony as the water retribution pierced through its body and turned him into specks of ash.
Wang Hua was freaked out of her ass, she pulled out the herb and dashed out of the splashing water. She had two legs and borrowed another two from her terror beast to sprint as fast as she could.
"Hey, you weakling!"
The water faerie's voice reached her ear and made her even run faster.
"Sorry, pretty Siren! This herb is crucial to me. I will repay this later, now I must run."
She shouted in the hopes of her apology being accepted. She couldn't waste more breath as she required it to flee.
