I Outworked the Entire Cultivation World

Chapter 710: Chapter 657: Compensation!

The Witch Clan holds women in high regard, believing in and revering reproduction, as continuing the bloodline is the top priority for the Witch Clan.

Except for the Extraordinary People and the demons, Witch Clan women can breed offspring with anyone.

However, according to Witch Clan rules, all female infants must remain within the Witch Clan, while male infants can be negotiated to either stay or leave.

Fortunately, Yun Shang’s father was a man of little value in the Witch Clan, taken away by Yuu Qiuqi back then, and met her mother in the Heavenly Interference Sect, leading to her birth. Otherwise, Yun Shang would have been forcibly kept in the Witch Clan.

The chiefs of the Five Great Villages of the Witch Clan are all female cultivators, with the Snake Village chief named Lan Biqing, possessing Mid-Stage Nascent Soul cultivation. She was born with a pair of green serpent pupils, able to command a multitude of snakes, and beside her is the Ghost Belly Python, which has Early-Stage Nascent Soul cultivation, accompanying her since childhood.

On the way to Snake Village, Jiang Yuebai asked Yun Shang about the kind of person Lan Biqing was.

Yun Shang mumbled for a while before saying, ”She’s... typical, like a demoness from a storybook, very, very, very... promiscuous. You could say she loves anyone she sees, regardless of gender, but no one can stay by her side for long, basically... she discards them after playing.”

”Ehh~~~”

Jiang Yuebai grinned, feeling this woman seemed quite formidable.

Recalling her previous experience with Jiang Yuebai in the Witch Clan, Yun Shang hurriedly said, ”This time, don’t pull any tricks of snatching men. If Lan Biqing takes a liking to you, just go with her. I won’t be playing Poisonous Insect Fighting to win you back.”

She said this while taking out a box of something resembling rouge, dabbing some with her finger and applying it to her cheeks. Instantly, red rashes appeared that quickly turned into brown scars.

Jiang Yuebai’s eyes lit up, ”Give me some, too.”

Yun Shang dodged to the side with the rouge, ”You’re quite famous now, and Lan Biqing has surely seen your portrait. Deliberately making yourself ugly would be an insult to her, so just go as you are.”

Jiang Yuebai was speechless. Snake Village was already in front of her, seemingly having anticipated her arrival. The male guard on the bamboo tower took a good look at Jiang Yuebai, immediately put his finger in his mouth, and blew a whistle, opening the gate from inside.

Yun Shang stepped back half a pace, pretending to be Jiang Yuebai’s junior attendant, sending a message, ”Seems like Lan Biqing is looking forward to your visit.”

At this moment, even if it were a mountain of knives or a sea of flames, Jiang Yuebai had to go. However, just before entering, Jiang Yuebai suddenly said loudly to Yun Shang, ”I’ll come out in a moment, disciple-nephew. You just wait outside.”

Yun Shang was momentarily stunned, then quickly tore off the incense bag from her waist and handed it to Jiang Yuebai before she went in.

”It can ward off Gu.”

Sending a message, Yun Shang saw Jiang Yuebai nod slightly with the incense bag in hand, attaching it to her waist.

In fact, with her current body, she was not afraid of Gu at all; no matter how many came, they would just serve as appetizers.

”True Monarch Wangshu, the Village Chief has been expecting you for some time. Please follow us into the village.”

Two female cultivators in blue robes ran out from inside, all at Early-Stage Foundation Establishment, respectfully inviting Jiang Yuebai in.

”Lead the way.”

Jiang Yuebai followed them into the village. The Witch Clan didn’t have high demands for their living environment. All the villages across the Ten Thousand Mountains were similar, all made of bamboo stilted houses, with the only difference being some wooden carvings and decorations in the chief’s residence.

More captivating for Jiang Yuebai’s attention than the architecture were the poisonous snakes visible everywhere in the village. Almost every house had a snake pit beneath it, filled with various kinds of poisonous snakes coiled together, making one’s scalp tingle.

The children running around the village had colorful snakes coiled in their hands, treating them as spiritual pets.

Besides the little snakes, there were also many large pythons coiled around the stilted house pillars.

For Jiang Yuebai, an outsider, the surrounding snakes all approached to investigate, and the large pythons on the pillars raised their heads, hissing menacingly at her.

Jiang Yuebai sneered, unbothered by their quirks, and unleashed her oppressive aura.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

With explosive sounds, the nearby snake swarms all burst open, and the large pythons on the stilted houses also exploded into pieces of flesh.

The distant snake groups shivered, curling up on the ground and daring not move.

The two leading female cultivators and everyone in the village immediately knelt down, suppressed by the strong and domineering aura. The children had their mouths open in terror, but couldn’t make a single sound.

The night was deep and deathly silent, with only Jiang Yuebai standing under the bright moon, even the flames in the fire pit struggling to stay alight.

”Is this how your Snake Village treats guests? Even these little beasts dare to hiss at me?”

Although Jiang Yuebai was here to demand someone back, she was also True Monarch Wangshu of the Heavenly Interference Sect. If she lost her momentum and face right from the start, she might as well give up on getting the person back!

The kneeling Foundation Establishment female cultivator in the front sweated profusely, struggling to apologize.

”Forgive us, True Monarch. It’s our oversight.”

Clap, clap, clap!

Applause sounded from afar.

”True Monarch Wangshu is really magnificent; I just adore it~”

A charming voice full of allure came from the end of the winding path. Jiang Yuebai looked over coldly.

She saw a woman in a blue-green long dress, adorned with silver accessories, sashaying slowly over. Her figure was exquisite, with her waist and long legs alternately hidden and revealed as she walked, naturally seductive, like a snake demon.

Especially those enchanting eyes, like they had hooks, fixated steadily on Jiang Yuebai, like mischievous fingers tapping on her heart one by one, her red lips smiling with the excitement of discovering new prey.

Just being stared at by her made Jiang Yuebai’s skin crawl. She had never encountered such an undisguised, lustful gaze that seemed like it wanted to devour her on the spot.

To be honest, Jiang Yuebai was not afraid of people with strong personalities or high cultivation, but Lan Biqing, she was truly a bit intimidated by her.

Jiang Yuebai maintained her composure, shifting her gaze away from Lan Biqing and noticed a massive dark green python following behind her.

The python’s upper body was upright, revealing ghostly patterns on its belly, terrifying and hideous. Its tongue flicked, snake eyes filled with murderous intent, scanning Jiang Yuebai.

On the other side, Jiang Yuebai suddenly spotted a familiar face.

It was actually Yinhuan, whom she and Yun Shang had encountered in the Ten Thousand Mountains. She hadn’t changed at all, now at Golden Core Peak cultivation, following Lan Biqing like a servant.

Yinhuan and Jiang Yuebai exchanged glances, her eyes filled with some anger, likely knowing about Jiang Yuebai’s deception years ago by posing as a man to trick her.

Enemies, feuds, all are debts!

Jiang Yuebai took a deep breath, not restraining her oppressive aura at all, fearlessly looking at Lan Biqing, bluntly saying, ”Enough with the nonsense, return my people, and I will take them away from the Witch Clan at once to resolve this matter.”

Lan Biqing raised her hand, halting the Ghost Belly Python and Yinhuan at a distance. She approached Jiang Yuebai, eyeing her with growing interest.

Lan Biqing leaned closer, laughing softly, ”What will you compensate me with?”

Jiang Yuebai clenched her fists, feeling her scalp tingling from her laughter and stepped slightly aside.

”What compensation do you want?”

Lan Biqing covered her mouth, laughing lightly, ”I want True Monarch Wangshu to stay as compensation~”

Jiang Yuebai’s face instantly fell, ”Your abacus beads are hitting me in the face!”
