Chapter 53: Falling Asleep, Queen Medusa?
Upon hearing Lin Yan's words, Lin Dong couldn't help but twitch his mouth.
Especially with Lin Yan's current expression, he truly appeared extremely puzzled.
This made Lin Dong even more speechless.
Therefore, he couldn't help but sarcastically comment to Lin Yan, "Brother Lin Yan, are you really clueless about what you just did, or are you just pretending?"
Lin Yan, puzzled, replied, "I really don't know, what did I do just now?"
Lin Dong could only patiently explain to him, "You know, it's extremely terrifying to directly grasp mental power within just over ten minutes of starting. I spent more than half an hour on it before."
"But you managed to achieve what took me half an hour in just over ten minutes."
"So, Brother Lin Yan, you tell me, are you a monster?"
Lin Yan finally understood why Lin Dong had been so shocked earlier, and a somewhat embarrassed smile appeared on his face.
He said to Lin Dong, "As the saying goes, when God closes a door, he'll definitely open a window for you. Who knows, Brother Lin Dong, maybe you have even stronger talents in other areas."
Lin Dong rolled his eyes at Lin Yan's comment and replied, "Anyway, whether or not someone opened a window for me, I don't know. But what I can be sure of is that the God you mentioned not only opened the door and window for you, but even lifted the roof for you."
"Brother Lin Yan, how did you manage to obtain such talent? It's really abnormal. Practicing cultivation with you is too demoralizing."
Lin Dong complained to Lin Yan.
He had thought his talent in mental power was decent and had even been somewhat proud of it. But now, compared to Lin Yan, Lin Dong felt like he was nothing. He suddenly felt extremely disappointed.
Lin Yan could only helplessly shrug his shoulders.
Then he changed the subject, "Forget about it, let's not talk about this."
"Tomorrow, let's invite Qingtan and go fishing together."
Lin Dong nodded in agreement upon hearing this.
He knew Lin Yan's temperament well. After a period of hard practice, he always liked to relax. According to Lin Yan, continuous hard practice could easily drive oneself crazy. So after practicing, it was necessary to relax and reward oneself.
Lin Dong agreed with Lin Yan's point of view, so he readily accepted, "Okay, I'll invite Qingtan tomorrow."
The two of them continued to drink tea for a while.
Afterward, Lin Dong realized it was getting late and quickly returned home.
Lin Yan tidied up his room first. After all, he had been practicing cultivation for a while and hadn't had time to tidy up. Now that he had some free time, he wanted to clean up properly.
"Come to think of it, hasn't that little guy woken up yet?"
"It's been sleeping for so long, what's going on?"
After cleaning the room, Lin Yan checked his Naduan ring. He found that his Nine-Colored Devouring Python was still in a state of sleep.
This surprised him a bit. After the incident at the Ironwood Sect, Lin Yan fed the two Yuan Dan of the Heaven Yuan Realm Ironwood Leopards to the Nine-Colored Devouring Python, causing it to fall into a deep sleep.
It had been sleeping for so long without waking up. Lin Yan hadn't paid much attention to it during his previous cultivation, but now that he had some free time, he started to worry if something was wrong with the little guy.
"As for that little guy, there's no need to worry."
"I think she's absorbing the energy from the Yuan Dan."
"And she's still in her juvenile stage. While she doesn't need to worry about food and clothing with you, her ability to digest isn't as powerful, so she naturally needs to spend more effort digesting the demonic energy."
The Medicine Elder also heard Lin Yan's concern and promptly spoke up, reassuring Lin Yan.
"Ah, I see. Then there's no problem."
Lin Yan felt relieved upon hearing this.
Although he was worried before, the Medicine Elder was knowledgeable and experienced. If he said there was no problem, then there probably wasn't.
Lin Yan trusted the Medicine Elder.
He continued to drink tea.
With nothing else to do, he went to the courtyard to plant flowers.
Early the next morning, Lin Dong and Qingtan arrived at Lin Yan's door with fishing rods. Lin Yan then took them directly to the pond in the back mountain for fishing.
Rarely having such a relaxing time, in such a beautiful and spacious environment, under the azure sky, they all felt in high spirits. While fishing, they also chatted leisurely.
"Speaking of which, Brother Lin Yan, we haven't gone fishing together for a long time," Qingtan smiled and said to Lin Yan.
"Can't help it, there's been a lot going on lately," Lin Yan replied with a smile.
Lin Dong suddenly caught a fish and then said, "Then let's stick to the old rules, let's see who catches the biggest fish."
Lin Yan reminded, "No cheating with mental power!"
The three of them spent the morning fishing by the pond.
By noon, with a pile of fish they caught, they planned to go to Lin Dong's house for lunch.
However, they hadn't gone far when they heard the sound of a fight ahead.
Using his mental power to investigate, Lin Yan quickly discovered that Lin Hong and Lin Shan, the two brothers, had encountered a demonic beast nearby and were currently fighting it.
"Ah, it seems like the back mountain still hasn't been cleaned up properly, there are always these demonic beasts around."
"If that little guy hasn't woken up yet, she'll eat them all."
Lin Yan furrowed his brow and said.
Upon hearing Lin Yan's words, Lin Dong knew he was referring to the Nine-Colored Devouring Python.
Indeed, this demonic beast was quite formidable. Since being beaten up by her last time, Lin Dong's Fire Python Tiger would tremble whenever he saw her.
"I'll go help them."
Unable to bear watching any longer, Lin Yan said to Lin Dong.
Then, he suddenly made a move, flashing to the side of several demonic beasts, and with a single punch, he directly killed them all.
Lin Hong and Lin Shan were naturally dumbfounded. They had almost capsized when they were dealing with these demonic beasts earlier. They never expected someone to come and kill them all in one go.
They looked closely at the newcomer and found that it was Lin Yan and his group, their expressions becoming somewhat complicated.
"Thank you for your help, Brother Lin Yan," Lin Hong and Lin Shan said respectfully to Lin Yan.
Although they had competed with each other before, unconsciously, Lin Yan had grown to a level they could only look up to.
For Lin Hong and Lin Shan now, there was no hostility when facing Lin Yan. Instead, there was only regret for their foolish behavior when they were younger.
"No need to thank me, brothers."
Lin Yan smiled and waved his hand at the two brothers.
Then, he saw that they were injured, and he handed each of them a pill.
"Eat this, it can heal your injuries."
Lin Hong and Lin Shan's eyes turned red. They didn't feel right taking it, so they immediately pushed it back, saying, "No, Brother Lin Yan, this is too precious."
Lin Yan didn't hesitate and handed it to them again, "If I give it to you, then take it."
The two could only obediently swallow the pills. Once the pills entered their bodies, the external wounds on their bodies began to heal quickly.
"Thank you, Brother Lin Yan."
Lin Yan smiled at the two and then quickly left after a brief chat.
The two brothers stood in place, watching Lin Yan leave.
Seeing Lin Yan and Qingtan laughing and talking, they suddenly felt envious.
If only they had befriended Lin Yan earlier.
Perhaps now, they would be the ones beside him, calling each other brothers.
"Thinking too much, who has the time for that?"
Lin Hong smiled bitterly and left.
As for Lin Yan, after having lunch, he returned home.
It had been a long time since he had taken a nap in the afternoon, and today he finally had the chance to rest. He just wanted to go home and take a good nap.
However, as soon as he got home, Lin Yan sensed a strange fluctuation coming from the Naduan ring.
Lin Yan opened his spiritual sense and checked inside the Naduan ring.
Soon, he discovered that the Nine-Colored Devouring Python, who had been asleep, was sticking out its tongue.
And above its body, there was also the soul figure of a charming and voluptuous woman, with a hot figure.
The sleeping posture was exactly the same as hers.
Lin Yan's eyes twitched, and he couldn't help but mutter, "Queen Medusa, is it really her?"
