Hao Ren and Han Lingshi had come to the secluded island and they had secured the boat they rented on a bamboo frame. They spent the first night on the sandy shores making wild love to each other. They did not cultivate and just enjoyed the fleshy pleasures of life. In the morning, Hao Ren woke up early, and Han Lingshi followed him, the young man took a dip in the ocean and came back with a few fishes. He used the suction of the space ring to directly suck the creatures inside his space ring and dumped them on the ground when he came back. After changing his clothes he used the spiritual energy to dry off the water on his skin. Han Lingshi looked at him and remarked in a snarky manner, "My, my, the extravagance of spiritual energy. Mister Hao, where did you learn to show off like this?" Hao Ren looked at her with narrowed eyes and then said, "Come here, I will tell you." Han Lingshi leaned forward with her hands on her waist as she said, "Mister Hao, why is it that you eyes do not match your tone? You are going to do something naughty again, aren't you?" Hao Ren chuckled and replied, "Oh, Miss Han, if memory serves me right, the one who acted naughty was you." Han Lingshi was frozen and then she saw Hao Ren dashing towards her. The young lady ran away quickly and the couple happily played a small game of tag before they set up the kitchen and Hao Ren began cooking. Han Lingshi took a dip in the ocean cleaned her hair with a shampoo and then used the spiritual energy in her body to shake off all the salt particles over her body. The couple had a nice roasted fish for breakfast, and then Han Lingshi asked, "We came to this far away place where we can be alone, but now I feel a little bored." Hao Ren smiled faintly and said, "This island is stretched over fifty kilometers, on feet it would be a nice trek. Who knows if there is any pirate treasure buried around?" Han Lingshi chuckled and they put on trekking shoes and holding machetes they left the shore and moved deeper inside the forest. The shore was clean, but a few meters from the shore lay a thick forest with vegetation intending to climb the heavens. The couple found a lot of coconut trees, and the ground was littered with rotten tree trunks. Han Lingshi said, "There are so many bugs." Hao Ren nodded and said, "Channel your spiritual energy, it scares them away." Han Lingshi could not help but ask, "How does this even work? I used to think every being would like to absorb spiritual energy. Why are they afraid of it?" Hao Ren replied, "They cannot handle the amount of power of the energy. They instinctively fear death and so they run away from it." Han Lingshi nodded, and after half an hour, Hao Ren stopped and the young lady asked, "What happened?" Hao Ren said, "The forest just turned silent. Even the wind is not making any sound." Han Lingshi was stunned and then she observed the situation calmly as she said, "You are right, what is going on here?" Hao Ren replied, "We need to head back." The young man took out a gun from his space ring and fired two shots at the heads with pin point accuracy. The bullets hit the beast directly inside the mouth and caused a lot of pain but it did not leave any damage. Hao Ren yelled, "Shit!" He landed on the ground and ran away quickly. Han Lingshi was shocked, she regained her senses after a few minutes and dashed after them. The snake was moving very quickly now. Hao Ren was also doing his best and suddenly he recalled something and took off his shirt. He channeled his spiritual energy in his right arm where the Naga tattoo lit up. The snake chasing behind him had yellow eyes, but as soon as the emerald green glow from the tattoo reflected in its those dreadful orbs. They became red, and the two headed snake seemed to have gone insane. It chased after Hao Ren at a higher speed and left destruction in its wake. Hao Ren cursed the naga princess but he discovered something. His movement became more agile and unpredictable when he channeled the energy through the tattoo. A voice rang in his mind, 'Ren, I am sorry, what should I do? Please, tell me are you safe?' Hao Ren replied, 'I am fine, but the snake is going crazy, can you catch up with it?' Han Lingshi replied, 'I am almost able to touch it's tail.' The young man thought of a way and said, 'Forget about training, fucking set this bastard on fire. Freeze it.' Han Lingshi did not delay and shot a ball of silver flames at the tail of the beast. The freezing effect was so strong that the enraged beast became sluggish in an instant, and hissing loudly. Hao Ren stopped, he took out the sword and rushed towards it intending to chop off its head. He did not use his flames because this cold blooded animal relied on heat absorbed from the outside to cultivate. The reason it grew two heads was probably because it did not have a cultivation technique and the inflow of the energy caused it to mutate. As Hao Ren jumped in the void and slashed with his weapon, the head fell down on the ground with a thud. The young man, however, did not waste another second to enjoy and jumped off the ground with his blade horizontally slashing at the second head. He landed on the snake's body that was still squirming and found Han Lingshi running up to him. The young man looked at the snake heads carefully, a snake head could still bit even after being chopped off. Han Lingshi hugged Hao Ren and apologized profusely, "I am sorry, I did not realize that my hesitation could cause such trouble. I am sorry, are you okay, Ren?" Hao Ren patted her palm and said, "I am fine, can you freeze both the heads, I don't know why but I sense a strong fluctuation from them." Han Lingshi did not say anything else and quickly shot two silver flame balls and froze the snake heads. The young man said, "Let's come and check this guy tomorrow." Han Lingshi nodded, she still could not get over the guilt of her mistake even now. Hao Ren knew this and said, "Love, am I not fine now? Let's go and see where this big guy came from." The two then headed to follow the snake trail. They were going to find the place where this guy resided and see if it left behind any treasures.
