Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family

Chapter 716: Could this child be the descendant of a Nascent Soul True Lord? (2)

“Hmm!?”

Lu Ping’an immediately assumed an alert expression.

At such depths of the great mountain, where demon beasts left their trails, how could a person possibly appear?

And judging by the girl’s voice, she couldn’t be more than in her teens.

Thus, he immediately took caution, held his breath, crouched down, and used the bushes for cover to minimize any noise he might make.

“Swish, swish, swish!”

Before long, he saw a several-inch-long black centipede wriggling through the sand like a fish, coming into view before him.

The sight of Lu Ping’an prompted wisps of blood evil energy to emanate from the centipede.

“This is bad!”
Lu Ping’an promptly raised his hand intending to slap the centipede to death.

However, the centipede turned out to be as hard as metal, incredibly tough, and even bit him on the palm.

The pain had barely started when Lu Ping’an felt his entire body stiffen and weaken, unable to move;the corpse soul scent suppressed within him began to agitate.

He realized that this was no ordinary centipede but likely some poisonous insect of a demon beast!

“Gurgle, gurgle!”

Not far away, a fist-sized vermillion toad heard the commotion and immediately leaped towards them.

Seeing this, the black centipede made a ‘swish’ sound and directly burrowed into Lu Ping’an’s mouth.

Even though Lu Ping’an had seen much in his life, this situation was a first for him, and a look of terror couldn’t help but appear in his eyes.

However, what made his skin crawl even more happened next.

The red vermillion toad actually hopped onto his face and began burrowing into his mouth, seemingly chasing after the black centipede.

This scenario made Lu Ping’an, paralyzed and powerless, break out in goosebumps, desperately wanting to struggle but unable to move.

“Gurgle, gurgle!”

Immediately, a sharp pain wracked his abdomen!

He tried to activate his cultivation technique to force out the two poisonous creatures, but his techniques hardly functioned.

“Quack!”

Just then, a girl about thirteen or fourteen years old, dressed in a pale red dress, with curved eyebrows and a lively, adorable face, ran over in haste.

She looked at the vermillion toad that had burrowed into Lu Ping’an’s mouth and asked with a panicked and worried expression, “Big brother, are you okay?”

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, little Qua, little Qua, please come out.”

The girl apologized to Lu Ping’an and continued to call into his mouth.

However, the vermillion toad inside Lu Ping’an did not respond at all, fighting with the ironback centipede.

Faced with this situation, Lu Ping’an’s pale face turned purple and red, changing color as he felt extreme pain throughout his body and his consciousness grew duller and hazier, gradually blurring.

“I can’t pass out!”

Lu Ping’an knew he absolutely couldn’t faint and continued to exert all his effort into activating his cultivation technique.

But the pain in his body made his consciousness fainter and fainter as if entering a dark abyss.

“Hum—”

Just then, a tremor surged through his body as if a cluster of faint starlight emerged before his eyes.

“Granny! Granny!”

Seeing Lu Ping’an seemingly about to faint, tears welled up in the girl’s eyes as she called out loudly.

She took out a crystal stone and crushed it in her hand.

In no time, a rainbow light shot from the sky, transforming into an elderly woman with white hair, an aged face yet a spry spirit, wielding a snake-shaped staff.

The old woman looked at the girl and asked with concern, “Miss, what happened?”

“Granny, little Qua was chasing an ironback centipede, which then burrowed into this big brother’s mouth, and little Qua followed it in.”

The girl said urgently upon seeing the old woman.

“What!?”

Hearing this, the old woman looked toward the delirious Lu Ping’an, murderous intent flashing in her eyes.

“Granny, please save him.”

The tearful girl pitifully pleaded with the old woman.

“Miss, the cinnabar toad itself is extremely poisonous, and once it enters the body, this man is undoubtedly doomed to die, not to mention the presence of an ironback centipede wreaking havoc on his organs.”

“And we cannot reveal our presence while we are out here,” the old woman said, her murderous intent receding and turning into a caring gaze.

“But, but… this big brother doesn’t seem like a bad person.”

The girl lifted her head and said softly.
