Even heroes find it hard to resist a beautiful woman, let alone Tian Peng, who was feeling empty, lonely, and cold.
Now, held in the soft embrace of the Sky Swallowing Python, who called him "good brother" with every utterance, he was so excited his tail was about to wag its way to the heavens.
Tian Peng, feeling light and airy, led the Sky Swallowing Python into the courtyard.
The moment she stepped into the yard,
The Sky Swallowing Python was dumbfounded, like Liu Grandma entering the Grand View Garden.
Her originally small cherry lips widened so much they could have swallowed several eggs, her pupils dilated, and her eyeballs nearly popped out.
Was this a mortal paradise?
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth was so dense it formed a thin mist. Patches of spirit vegetables and spirit fruits pulsed with vital essence, each one comparable to a precious medicinal herb.
In the courtyard, a well exuded spiritual energy, radiating the aura of a top-grade spirit spring.
Beside the vegetable patch, over a dozen farming tools were piled up haphazardly, emanating a faint golden treasure light; they were at least legendary treasures.
The Sky Swallowing Python was stunned. She finally understood why Tian Peng's strength had increased so rapidly.
In such an environment, even a creature as dull as a pig, only knowing how to eat, drink, and relieve itself, could eventually achieve enlightenment and become an immortal.
The Sky Swallowing Python's breathing quickened, and greed flickered in the depths of her eyes.
She desired to possess everything here.
"Brother Peng, is this place perhaps your dojo?" she asked.
Tian Peng smiled and replied, "This is my master's dojo, but now everything here is under my management. Sister Swallowing Python, you don't need to be reserved. Eat and drink whatever you like, feel free to be at home."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Sky Swallowing Python could no longer contain herself.
She immediately rushed to the well, scooped up a large bucket of water, and gulped it down.
"Indeed, it's a top-grade spirit spring!"
The Sky Swallowing Python smacked her lips, her face filled with excitement. Discarding all pretense of ladylike behavior, she opened her belly and drank heartily. At the same time, she plucked a large bunch of cabbages and radishes from the ground, stuffing them into her mouth with the dirt still clinging to them.
Soon, the astonishment on her face deepened.
Incredibly, the medicinal effects of these vegetables were astonishing, far more potent than thousand-year-old precious herbs.
Possessing this courtyard was equivalent to possessing inexhaustible cultivation resources.
The Sky Swallowing Python narrowed her eyes, her mind already formulating a plan.
She stared intently at Tian Peng, a seductive smile on her face, her charming eyes subtly probing, "Brother Peng, is it just you at home now?"
Tian Peng's body trembled uncontrollably. He felt a rush of blood to his head, his throat dry, and he nodded woodenly.
"How about we do something fun?"
The Sky Swallowing Python swayed her serpentine waist, approaching Tian Peng and blowing a fragrant breath onto his face.
Tian Peng instantly felt a surge of heat, his eyes lit up, and he asked expectantly, "What do you want to do? I... I'm not actually that kind of person."
The Sky Swallowing Python extended her pink tongue and licked her lips, her eyes displaying the predatory gaze unique to a viper. She said meaningfully, "To be honest, I've wanted to eat you for a long time. Today, I will finally have my wish."
Tian Peng's mind was filled with suggestive images, and the word "eat" further fueled his imagination. He eagerly lay down on the ground, spread his legs, closed his eyes, and declared loudly, "Come on, don't go easy on me just because it's my first time."
This fellow was truly uninhibited, striking a pose as if inviting her to do as she pleased.
At this moment, the Sky Swallowing Python dropped all pretense.
The smile vanished from her face, replaced by a bloodthirsty and cruel expression. Her head transformed into a vividly colored snake head, flicking a scarlet forked tongue. She then opened her cavernous maw and lunged at Tian Peng.
The lecherous Tian Peng did not receive the anticipated passionate encounter. Instead, he felt a strong smell of blood, and upon opening his eyes, he saw a gaping mouth filled with sharp fangs.
Terrified, he quickly rolled away, narrowly dodging the terrifying snake's bite, and exclaimed, "What are you doing?"
At this point, even with his lust-filled mind, he knew something was wrong, and it wasn't what he had imagined.
This Sister Swallowing Python had malicious intentions.
"Haha, what am I doing? Didn't I tell you? I'm going to eat you."
The Sky Swallowing Python roared with laughter. Now in her snake-headed, human-bodied form, she had completely lost her previous beauty and was incredibly frightening.
Tian Peng felt as if struck by lightning, his beautiful dream shattered. His face contorted with indignation, and he questioned, "Why? Didn't you just say you've always had me in your heart?"
"Yes, I've always had you in my heart, thinking about how to kill you."
The Sky Swallowing Python laughed heartily, sneering, "You didn't actually think I'd be interested in you, did you? With your body shape, like a fat black chicken, I find it disgusting. I was just playing with you. I can't believe you're such an idiot, so easy to fool. Haha..."
So it was all a lie.
Everything the Sky Swallowing Python had said before was a fabrication. How could she possibly be interested in Tian Peng?
"Sky Swallowing Python, you are truly insidious, daring to toy with me. You probably don't know how formidable I am."
Tian Peng's face was filled with rage, his eyes burning. He struggled to get up and deal with the Sky Swallowing Python.
The moment he stood up, he collapsed back onto the ground with a thud, his body limp and devoid of any strength.
"You poisoned me?"
Tian Peng's expression changed drastically. He felt as if his body had been hollowed out, unable to mobilize his spiritual power.
His first thought was of the fragrant breath the Sky Swallowing Python had blown on him earlier. He must have fallen into her trap then and been poisoned.
As expected, lust is a double-edged sword; he had truly fallen.
"Sky Swallowing Python, I advise you to stop immediately. You can't afford the consequences of messing with me."
Tian Peng slowly regained his composure, showing no signs of panic.
Here, he believed no one could harm him.
"Stop? How naive can you be? It's simply laughable."
The Sky Swallowing Python let out a chilling laugh and said coldly, "This is a blessed land, a cave heaven. If I kill you, I can occupy this place. Everything here will be mine."
Humans have a saying, "Greed makes a snake swallow the sky," to describe avarice.
In fact, the snake in the saying refers to the Sky Swallowing Python. This creature is incredibly greedy, claiming to dare swallow the sky, which shows the extent of its appetite.
"Occupy this place?"
Tian Peng couldn't help but laugh, scoffing, "You are truly insatiably greedy. Do you know who the master of this place is? I could scare your dog's guts out by telling you."
"I don't care if it's just anyone. Do you think I'm afraid? Let me tell you, I've recently joined the Tongtian Pavilion. With such a powerful backer, who else would I fear?"
The Sky Swallowing Python felt completely confident.
With such a strong patron, she could walk sideways through the world, like a crab.
"The Tongtian Pavilion is now a public enemy, hated by all. You actually joined them? You're truly foolish."
Tian Peng looked at her with the gaze of an idiot, unable to comprehend why the Sky Swallowing Python would jump into a burning pit under these circumstances.
Even a fool would distance themselves from the Tongtian Pavilion and avoid getting caught in this mire.
The Sky Swallowing Python sneered, "You probably don't know that the Tongtian Pavilion has celestial beings descending, and not just one. They are already plotting against that person surnamed Ji. Once that Ji person is dead, this world will belong to the Tongtian Pavilion."
"Who dares to kill the person surnamed Ji?"
Suddenly, a sinister voice echoed.
