141: Agreement

"Hm?"

Hearing this, Mo Xuan snorted coldly, his heart filled with suspicion:

"There's a snake coveting my body!"

"Damn it, did I wrong that brat Zhou Leren?"

"Doesn't that mean I hit the wrong person?"

Mo Xuan fell into self-doubt.

"Wuwuwu, little snake was wrong, little snake will never speak nonsense again..."

Huan Bi was immersed in her own fantasy.

She was suddenly startled by Mo Xuan's cold snort, quickly shattered the thoughts in her mind, and spoke incoherently.

"Damn it, what on earth did I say in front of a Demon King?"

Huan Bi trembled, her snake head buried tightly, only a pair of azure-green snake pupils exposed, occasionally glancing in Mo Xuan's direction.

"Sigh~"

Seeing Huan Bi so easily startled, Mo Xuan felt helpless.

"What is all this!"

"Hmph!"

Mo Xuan snorted coldly again, and with a thought, he lowered Zhou Leren, who was floating in mid-air.

"The snake you brought back, you settle it yourself. If anything goes wrong, then Old Ancestor I will have no choice but to have your father bring out the family rules!"

Zhou Leren's eyes were filled with tears, whether from excitement or pain, and upon hearing Mo Xuan's words, he quickly nodded in agreement.

Then he looked at Zhou Liyue with a mournful expression.

Zhou Liyue was watching with great interest, and when Zhou Leren looked at her with that gaze, she felt uncomfortable, then rolled her eyes, meaning he brought it upon himself.

"Old Ancestor, Third Aunt, then I will take my leave first."

Zhou Leren bowed to Mo Xuan and Zhou Liyue, and just as he was about to leave, he remembered the protrusions on his forehead, turned back, and tentatively said to Mo Xuan:

"Old Ancestor, my..."

"Hm?"

Mo Xuan shot a glance over, just as he was about to speak.

"Old Ancestor, taking my leave!"

Zhou Leren's expression was resolute, and he turned and left before Mo Xuan could speak.

Passing by Huan Bi, who was still coiled into a disc, he spoke softly:

"Fellow Daoist, please follow me."

Huan Bi looked up, looked at Zhou Leren, then looked at Mo Xuan, and then, timidly said:

"Senior Demon King, little snake takes its leave."

Mo Xuan's ancient well remained undisturbed, and he nodded casually.

Huan Bi felt a slight relief in her heart; as long as he didn't show any disgust, then this way...

"Hehe..."

"Fellow Daoist, aren't you leaving yet?"

Zhou Leren looked puzzled; how could she have been fine just now, and suddenly turned into this silly appearance again?

"Oh, oh, okay."

Huan Bi snapped back to reality, quickly nodded again to Mo Xuan and Zhou Liyue, and then followed Zhou Leren down from the Feiyue Peak Summit.

"Damn it, I lost my composure again!"

After leaving the Feiyue Peak Summit, Huan Bi secretly fumed at herself.

"Hmph, it's all your fault!"

Huan Bi snorted coldly and said to Zhou Leren.

Her voice was clear, with a hint of anger.

Zhou Leren, with two protrusions on his forehead, looked awkward; it was indeed his fault first.

He was so focused on giving Mo Xuan a surprise that he overlooked Huan Bi's feelings.

"Fellow Daoist, this matter is my fault."

"Otherwise, how about we dissolve the contract? I will personally send Fellow Daoist back to the Tianshui Mountain Range and also give some third-grade Spirit Beast blood as compensation for Fellow Daoist."

"What do you think, Fellow Daoist?"

Zhou Leren pondered for a moment.

His deception of Huan Bi this time indeed violated the Zhou Family's ancestral teachings on coexisting with Spirit Beasts.

Since Old Ancestor didn't like this, he couldn't force Fellow Daoist Huan Bi.

"No need, no need."

Huan Bi was startled, shaking her head repeatedly, her anger completely forgotten.

"If the contract is dissolved, won't I never see such a powerful and majestic snake again..."

Huan Bi thought of Mo Xuan's unperturbed figure.

Her head shook even faster.

"No!"

Thinking this, Huan Bi suddenly spoke loudly.

"Fellow Daoist?"

Zhou Leren was startled by Huan Bi's voice.

"It's nothing."

Huan Bi felt awkward in her heart, but on the surface, she pretended to be calm and collected.

Zhou Leren nodded and didn't think any further.

Since Huan Bi agreed to stay, Zhou Leren was naturally willing.

With Huan Bi, this great demon of the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment, plus the Green-Eyed Azure-Striped Snake clan she brought back, the Zhou Family's strength had indeed increased significantly.

"Uncle, what happened to your forehead?"

Upon arriving at the Zhou Family's residence, several five or six-year-old children saw Zhou Leren and immediately gathered around him, bowing in unison.

These were all the 'Xiu' generation disciples of the Zhou Family. As the eldest of the 'Le' generation, Zhou Leren was naturally called "Uncle" by these little brats.

After bowing, seeing Zhou Leren's appearance, they wanted to laugh but dared not. Then they saw Huan Bi following behind, their eyes sparkling.

If it weren't for the Zhou Family's good upbringing, they would probably have swarmed around him by now.

Zhou Leren looked at his nephews' stifled laughter, his expression gentle and smiling, and he said mysteriously:

"Shh!"

"This is a new Daoist Magic I, your uncle, have cultivated. As long as I succeed in cultivating it, I can possess super invincible power!"

Zhou Leren said with an extremely solemn expression, speaking softly to them, as if it were a huge secret.

"Hiss~"

The little brats were startled in their hearts; was it that powerful?

Looking at Zhou Leren's forehead, they all thought to themselves, no wonder it was so neat and filled with a mysterious beauty.

Even their starry eyes that had been on Huan Bi turned back to Zhou Leren's forehead.

Zhou Leren was smug in his heart, 'Little brats, still daring to make fun of me.'

"Do you want to learn?"

Zhou Leren looked at their expressions, knowing that most of them had already believed him.

So, he solemnly asked again.

"Yes!"

Their heads bobbed like chicks pecking rice, perfectly in sync.

Only one child hesitated slightly, asking Zhou Leren:

"Uncle, is this something we can learn?"

This child was a bit older than the others and knew more, so he naturally knew that some Daoist Magic were not for them to dabble in.

"No harm, it's fine."

Zhou Leren said softly.

"So sensible, I'll just give you a smaller protrusion later..."

Seeing Zhou Leren's permission, the child finally put down his worries, his eyes filled with anticipation.

"Line up!"

Zhou Leren straightened his body and instructed the little brats in front of him.

Behind him, Huan Bi looked disdainful; this person was so shameless.

"Clap, clap, clap..."

Zhou Leren was as swift as the wind, striking quickly, giving each person a flick on the forehead.

Before they could react, he activated his magic power and quickly left the place.

"Wuwuwuwu..."

Behind him, there was a chorus of crying.

Each forehead was slightly bulging, and they cried loudly.

"Fellow Daoist, I am teaching them that one must be wary of others, not for my own mischievous pleasure."

Zhou Leren said earnestly.

Huan Bi was speechless.

She finally understood; she had signed a contract with him, and it was probably like getting on a pirate ship.

If it weren't for... one person and one snake quickly arrived at the Ten Thousand Snakes Pool.

Here lived the original Azure Black Spirit Snake clan. Over the years, with diluted Spirit Beast blood for feeding, the Azure Black Spirit Snake's strength had also been growing rapidly. In a few years, it was likely that Foundation Establishment Stage snake demons would appear.

Huan Bi sensed for a moment, then released her Aura.

Subsequently, the Ten Thousand Snakes Pool was in chaos. Disturbed by the Aura of this great demon of the Foundation Establishment Stage, they all made way, gathering in the direction away from Huan Bi.

Huan Bi was satisfied, then spat out her Spirit Beast bracelet, released the Green-Eyed Azure-Striped Snakes inside, and placed them in the Ten Thousand Snakes Pool.

After so many years of changes, the Ten Thousand Snakes Pool had been moved to Qingyuan Lake, with an area on the Qingyuan Lake shore designated for the Zhou Family to raise spirit snakes.

This territory was naturally not small.

Therefore, even if another clan of Green-Eyed Azure-Striped Snakes was added, it would not be crowded or conflict.

Huan Bi released her own Aura, covering an area, and designated this area as her territory.

Zhou Leren looked at the Ten Thousand Snakes Pool in front of him, but his mind was on other matters.

This time, after breaking through to the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment and returning home, besides setting up a connection for Old Ancestor, it was for the agreement he had made.

Zhou Leren's thoughts drifted, and he seemed to return to that year when he was eight years old...
