Chapter 437: Chapter 435: The Small Seaside Fishing Village_1
“It’s been so long since I’ve felt this exhilarated.”

Lin Qingluo smiled with satisfaction, killing the snake and removing its core.

She extracted the venom, fangs, and Monster Core without leaving anything behind.

“Alright, let’s go back. Brother Xu and the others must be worried by now.”

“Okay.”

Little Kingfisher was excited; the Monster Core was a treasure for it.

Upon consuming the white snake’s Monster Core, it would quickly enhance its strength, and the capacity of the Phoenix True Fire within it, consequently increasing its combat power exponentially.

“Yin’er, catch the Monster Core.”

Lin Qingluo could clearly sense its excitement, and with a smile, she tossed the Monster Core to it.

“Okay.”

Little Kingfisher caught the Monster Core with its beak, eating it with delight.

With their bounty in tow, both human and bird sped up along the direction of the Dark River’s flow, returning towards the pavilion outside the city.

**

An hour later, Lin Qingluo and Little Kingfisher appeared in the pavilion.

Lin Jinxu and Lin Jinzhou stared blankly at their little sister, who had returned without a single stain on her clothes, silently coming and going.

Wang Meng and Shitou maintained their composure, drinking tea from teacups.

Little Prince’s face brimmed with excitement, his big bright eyes sparkling with joy as he watched his sister return safely.

“Ah woo.”

Baoya timely cried out twice, showing a simple and honest smile.

“Qingluo, have you dealt with the source of the disease?”

After a few seconds of astonishment, Lin Jinxu was the first to come back to reality.

“Not only did I deal with it, but I also collected the venom,” Lin Qingluo replied with a radiant smile, taking out a glass bottle and placing it on the tea table.

“That’s fantastic.”

Lin Jinzhou also recovered from his shock, his eyes glistening as he looked at his little sister.

From that moment, his affection for his little sister had risen from adoration to worship.

Lin Qingluo handed the venom to the doctors at Relief Medical Hall, explained its origin briefly, and quietly left.

With the venom, the doctors quickly developed a Detoxification Pill that successfully stopped the spread of the plague.

The conditions of the patients gradually improved, and Xiangzhou City returned to its once peaceful state.

Located in the southeast, Xiangzhou was a famous flower city in the Fengqi Empire.

Fields of blooming flowers covered the area outside the city. Xiangzhou City itself was bustling with prosperity, and the Colored Glass Chrysanthemums exuded a rich fragrance, making for a breathtaking sight.

Lin Jinxu, accompanied by his younger siblings, enjoyed the scenery, strolled through the streets, tasted delicious food, and had a great time in Xiangzhou City for two days before they set off again.

According to the Chronicles of the Seven Kingdoms, they headed towards the nearest coastal village, which was said to be the best location to watch the sunrise.

Jishui Village was a small fishing village nestled between the mountains and waters.

Behind the village was a small hill, and in front, the ocean spread out as far as the eye could see.

Hardworking fishermen went out to fish at sunrise and returned at sunset, repeating this arduous labor year after year.

At the transition between autumn and winter, a gentle sea breeze blew.

A 12-13-year-old boy with a quiver on his back sprinted through the hill, while three frightened rabbits scattered and fled in three different directions ahead of him.

Without stopping, the boy drew three arrows from the quiver, placing them on the bowstrings.

“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.”

He shot three arrows in three different directions, instantly hitting the three rabbits, which twitched violently for a few moments before going still.

“Hahaha, we’ll have meat to eat!”

The boy quickly ran over, picked up each of the rabbits, and threw them into the basket on his back.

As night fell, the fishing boats from Jishui Village gradually returned. Each household began to cook, and wisps of smoke floated from their chimneys.

Fishermen unloaded their daily catch from the boats, while young children happily ran around on the beach.

The sea breeze brought the cool, moist air mixed with the innocent laughter of the children, spreading to every corner of the village.
