Chapter 96: Ethereal Beauty

Having waited until the snake was right above her, Xiu Ying faced up and released the arrow.

"Inferno Hurricane"!

Golden flames swirled around the arrowhead and grew bigger until the arrow made contact with the snake.

BOOM—!

Li Chen's eyes shook as he watched the snake's head disconnect from its body and it fell beside the pool. Silence reigned as Xiu Ying slashed off the lotus and grabbed a glowing blue core.

With crossed arms, he saw her walk to the side of the pool and gently touched the water surface with the beast core.

Instantly, ice spread out and covered the surface of the pool!

"I can't be distracted while refining the herb." She turned her head to Li Chen, who responded with a nod.

Walking to the middle of the pool, Xiu Ying assumed a lotus posture, closed her eyes, and poured energy from her palms into the floating lotus before her.
