My Evil Imperial Wife is Too Arrogant

Chapter 77: Ice Krait Serpent Nest

Yun Jis warning caused Hu Fei to temporarily shut his mouth. Lou Mu Yan also stopped talking, but instead, continued to walk a few steps, then squat down to scrutinise the cave wall.

Even though her behaviour made others feel like she was crazy, but there werent any voices that questioned her anymore, and they all calmed down to recover.

Lou Mu Yan looked at the tiny slither marks on the cave wall and a trace of understanding and caution surfaced in her eyes. She quickly got up, walked to Lan Sis side and said: Teacher, this caves dangerous. Lets leave quickly.

Lan Si looked up at Lou Mu Yan, unsure of whether to cry or laugh and asked: Really? Whered you see that?

Then thought to himself: Oh little grandaunt, can you just be quiet for a while? Dont you see that most of the other students want to throw you out?

Pfft! Yun Ge snorted and opened her eyes with a look of disgust, Lou Mu Yan, you dont need to exaggerate to scare us just to attract Chi Yi Xuans attention do you?

This cave is so quiet, theres nothing strange at all, where is there any danger? If youre as afraid as a mouse, then get out and stop affecting us recovering our Elemental Energy. Otherwise, even if youre Lou Mu Bais younger sister, Ill personally take care of you.

As soon as Yun Ges voice fell, an icy pressure spread in the cave. Lou Mu Bai stood up and walked beside Lou Mu Yan. There was a chill in his eyes that looked at Yun Ge, and his voice was cold and oppressive: Say that again.

Yun Ge was an Advanced-Phase Sword Spirit, but at this time, beneath Lou Mu Bais pressure, she felt her heart tremble. She gritted her teeth and glared at Lou Mu Bai, saying stubbornly: Its your younger sister thats looking for a sense of existence because shes got nothing to do. You being partial towards her is only hurting her, not helping her. Im not wrong.

The coldness in Lou Mu Bais eyes gradually deepened. He narrowed his eyes slightly and a killing intent was inadvertently revealed, which caused Yun Ge to feel a sense of fear in her heart for no reason.

Suddenly a domineering golden light flashed by. Ji Han Xu stood in front of Yun Ge and temporarily resolved the murderous pressure. He toughened his skin and said with a smile: Mu Bai, Yun Ge doesnt have any malicious intent either, so theres no need for you to argue with a little girl like her.

But he scolded Lou Mu Yan in his heart. This woman really was a troublemaker. She could cause a fight wherever she went.

Of course, Ji Han Xu was also very angry at Yun Ge, the person his family betrothed to him. If it werent because if she got into trouble, he would too, he didnt want to step out and face Lou Mu Bai at all.

At this time, all those that were meditating couldnt continue to concentrate on recovering either, and most of them cast unhappy gazes at Lou Mu Yan. This woman really just followed them to hold them back.

Lou Mu Bai glanced at Ji Han Xu lightly and spit out a word coldly: Move.

Ji Han Xus anger only grew. He was cautious of Lou Mu Bai, but it didnt mean he was afraid of him, so he puffed out his chest and said, If you want to go over, then pass me first.

A coldness condensed on Lou Mu Bais gentle and handsome face. When he was just about to act, Lou Mu Yan suddenly grabbed his arm from behind and took a few steps back. He looked at her in confusion.

Lou Mu Yans gaze was transfixed on the endless cave, sighed, and said: Its coming.

No one understood her behaviour, let along what she meant by its coming.

Quickly step back, be careful. Lan Si shouted suddenly. Then he stretched out both his hands and sucked hard. The two students who were sitting near the side of the cave was then grabbed by him.

Immediately, everyone could only hear countless [hiss!] sounds resounding in the cave, making peoples scalp numb.

But before anyone could react, they saw countless small blue serpents that were as thick as an arm slither out one by one from the endless cave and head towards them swiftly.

Ice Krait Serpents, theyre Ice Krait Serpents! Someone in the group of students that were backing away suddenly exclaimed.

The others all took out their own Magic Tools and held them in their hands with seriousness. Ice Krait Serpents were social Demonic Beasts. The moment it appeared it would be in the hundreds to thousands, and there could even be a high-level Ice Krait Serpent King. They didnt expect that theyd encounter this kind of trouble the moment they stepped into the periphery of the Glacial Mountain Range.

Calm down. This is also a test for everyone. Yun Ji said with furrowed his brows as he looked at the chaotic crowd.

Currently, Lou Mu Yans eyes werent on the Ice Krait Serpents that were slithering towards them, but instead continued to stare at the depths of the cave with emotions that others couldnt understand.

Lou Mu Yan glanced sideways at Mo Yan on her shoulder and twitched the corners of her mouth, You want me to go kill the Tier 5 Ice Krait Serpent King in the cave?

A determination to obtain something flashed across Mo Yans eyes and he telepathically replied: Its Demonic Beast Crystal Core is useful to me.

Do you think that with my current cultivation base, I can pass through tens of thousands of Ice Krait Serpents ranging from Tier 2 to Tier 4, and rush in alone to kill the Ice Krait Serpent King for you? Lou Mu Yan rolled her eyes, You must not have woken up.

Dont you have a kind of powder that can paralyse Demonic Beasts for a short period of time? It should be easy to deal with these little serpents right? Ill help you after we rush in. Mo Yans voice carried with it a sense of calm certainty.

Lou Mu Yan took a breath. This damned Spirit Petjust who was the owner? But towards Mo Yans proposal, she felt a little tempted.

But let these people suffer a bit before we take action. Perfect to help us share some burdens. Mo Yan sneered. He definitely hadnt forgotten how these people belittled Lou Mu Yan just now. The Master he had temporarily recognised wasnt someone anyone could bully.

Lou Mu Yan nodded in agreement. The reason why she was too lazy to argue with Yun Ge just now was because she had discovered that the serpents in the depths of this cave had awakened because of their aura. Now, shell just let these elites of the Empire have a taste of an Ice Krait Serpent swarm first.

She wasnt a bad person, nor a villain, but she definitely wasnt a good person either. It was only acceptable to punish them a little. Besides, with her current cultivation base, it was indeed difficult for her, even if she wanted to, to deal with all the Ice Krait Serpents.

Lan Si held a thin, translucent green sword and swung a few times at the serpents that had slithered over. Several aggressive sword auras with dense pressure swept towards them. The hundreds of Ice Krait Serpents in the front two rows were chopped into numerous pieces.

Yun Zi Mo also commanded the others to kill the Ice Krait Serpents that approached them.

Right now, everyone just wanted to get out of the cave as soon as possible, but unexpectedly, before they could even approach the exit, the same [hiss!] sound entered their ears. No one knew from where another group of Ice Krait Serpents slithered out and now blocked the exit completely.

Lan Si waved the longsword in his hand and recalled Lou Mu Yans unusual state after entering the cave. So it seemed that she used the fastest way to restore her Elemental Energy because she felt danger. When he remembered her act of smelling the dirt, he couldnt help but sigh within that Lou Mu Yans nose was just too good.

He looked around at the serpents that circled them in all directions and couldnt help but ask: Lou Mu Yan, what do you think we should do?

Do cold food with dressing¹!

So now they knew to ask her for her opinion, what about when she asked them to leave the cave as soon as possible, didnt they tell her to get out one by one?

Lan Si was instantly speechless. Lou Mu Yans temperament really was rather strong, but he could understand it.

The moment she mentioned that something smelled weird, he felt that something was wrong in this cave too. When she asked to leave, he was confused at the time and was about to ask for the reason, but who knew that itd be interrupted by Hu Fei and Yun Ge. In fact, he was also rather wronged. He really didnt think that Lou Mu Yan was acting foolishly.

At this time, many people also remembered what occurred before. Although they still wondered why Lou Mu Yan knew that there were dangers hidden in this cave, but more people were blaming Hu Fei and Yun Ge for being meddlesome. If they hadnt stepped out and delayed time, then they wouldnt be besieged by this huge number of serpents right now.

¹ok, I tried HAHA. In Chinese, theres a common way to answer someone when they ask: what should we do? (? zn me bn). If you want to answer in a non-serious way, bickering way, and/or a sarcastic way, youd answer with something along the lines of dress cold food with sauce ( ling bn)especially if you dont know the answer to the question to begin with. Its probably used because (bn) and (bn) sound exactly the same, just spelt differently and mean different things, so they chose that commonality and someone, I guess, just randomly used that word one day and it was made popular. It makes no sense, but thats the point I guess.

There is one more meaning behind it though: to ignore the situation/problem. Which actually makes the word rather suiting because it means cold. And I guess its also like saying to give the situation/problem the cold shoulder. could also be used to describe desolation, disappointment, heart sinking etc. Take with that information what you will hahaha. Thats just my understanding based on years of hearing and reading that word and a brief baidu search with Chinese answers while translating XD. Ive only studied in China for a year so Im not all too familiar with the colloquial language in China.

Oops, sorry for being a few minutes late. Thats on me and my poor time management skills
