138: Chapter 138 Green Snake Leaves the Sword

He never expected that one day he would be considered a pervert by his own kind.

"...This River God does not know."

For the first time, Jiang Mo felt that he was so ignorant and ill-informed.

Perhaps this was the price of being a shut-in snake.

Although this snake had a noble Bloodline, it was a bit of a pervert.

"How did you recognize me as a Lisheng Green Snake?"

Xu Qing asked.

He had only been recognized as a Resurrection Green Snake before, and those who could recognize it were people of extraordinary insight.

"It is knowledge passed down through the generations of my Black Snake lineage."

"I have studied it at the bottom of the river for hundreds of years, without rest day or night."

"The Green Snake of Fierce Birth has scales as green as jade; those who see it find their lives shortened, while those who gain its favor find their lives lengthened."

"The left eye is like a bright day with a black sun, and the right eye is like a dark night with a white moon."

"Noble blood among snakes, rarely seen; cold and heartless, a king among snake demons."

Xu Qing listened, dazed.

He didn't even know he was so impressive.

Then, coming back to his senses, he repeated the words in his heart several times to memorize the passage.

In the future, when introducing himself, he would bring this sentence out.

It would surely stun everyone on the spot.

"Alright, goodbye."

Xu Qing was about to leave.

"By the way, what I said before wasn't about me, it was about a friend!"

"A friend!"

"Mhm, I understand."

Jiang Mo nodded and took another small step back.

Damn it, there's no way to explain this clearly anymore.

Xu Qing flew away, continuing toward the west.

At night, tired from flying, Xu Qing landed on a small hill.

Unfortunately, with Xu Qing's current size, he could no longer just snatch another snake's Snake Cave to crawl into.

He was too big; he couldn't fit inside.

If he tried to force his way in, the Snake Cave would break immediately.

Just as Xu Qing was about to settle for any random spot, he caught the scent of a faint evil qi.

The source of the evil qi was in a village not far away.

"Forget it, I'll go take a look."

Xu Qing transformed into human form and summoned the green tail white hair sword to carry on his back.

The Xiliang Sword had not yet recovered.

Carrying the sword was naturally not to defend against people, but simply to prevent unnecessary trouble.

Covering his eyes with tiancheng cloth, Xu Qing flew to the vicinity of the village and landed.

According to his usual practice, Xu Qing would not mind this business.

But Xu Qing was very free today.

So there was no helping it.

He stepped into the village.

Because it was already night, there was no one on the road.

Scenting the evil qi, Xu Qing arrived in front of a household.

Earthen walls and mud tiles—a very ordinary family.

*Thud, thud, thud.*

Xu Qing knocked on the door.

"Coming, coming!"

After a moment, the sound of footsteps grew closer, and the door opened to reveal a woman's face.

"What a handsome young lady. Are you from the city? Who are you looking for?"

Xu Ping wore a headscarf and coarse clothes.

*Cough, cough.* "I am here to ask for lodging."

Only then did she notice the long sword on Xu Qing's back.

"So you're a little swordswoman?"

"Do you need me to help you?"

Xu Ping naturally saw the cloth strip over Xu Qing's eyes and asked.

"No need."

After Xu Qing bowed, he easily stepped over the threshold, entered the house, and looked around.

She looked at Xu Qing in surprise, focusing particularly on the thick cloth strip covering his eyes.

She realized Xu Qing was extraordinary.

"Come, swordswoman, sit here. I'll go pour some tea for you."

"Hey, you in there, go pour some tea."

Xu Ping shouted toward the inner room and turned back to look at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing was currently squatting in a corner, looking at the wine jars placed there.

"Swordswoman, sit here."

She pulled out a chair and placed it next to Xu Qing.

Xu Qing nodded, took off the sword from his back, sat on the chair, and while stroking the sword, he spoke.

"This sword is named green tail white hair sword."

"The sword is three feet long and has slain humans, demons, and ghosts."

Xu Ping wanted to laugh, but for some reason, she couldn't.

"Tea is here!"

A peasant man walked out carrying a teacup and placed it on the wooden tea table.

Then he secretly stared at Xu Qing's face.

"Looking, looking, what are you looking at!"

"Get back inside!"

She kicked the man's leg and scolded him.

"Right, right. The tea is hot, drink slowly, Miss."

After that, the man retreated to the inner room.

"Has the swordswoman eaten? If not, there are some leftovers in the pot. If you don't mind, I'll go heat them up now."

"I have eaten. I won't trouble the host."

"Ah, alright."

Xu Ping nodded, not knowing what else to say or do.

Xu Qing's attire and appearance were like a Young Miss from the city, making her unsure of how to communicate.

"I'll go clear out the side room."

Xu Ping got up and left.

Xu Qing remained seated, still stroking the green tail white hair sword.

The green tail white hair sword occasionally moved slightly in response to Xu Qing.

"This evil qi is quite sharp. As soon as I arrived, it suppressed its aura and became completely still."

Xu Qing had a bit of a headache.

"It's all ready. There are fresh quilts and sheets inside."

"Thank you, host. Please accept this silver."

Xu Qing took out a small piece of broken silver.

"Miss, for just a bed, how could it be worth so much money!"

"I didn't let you stay for the money. Please take it back, Miss."

Xu Ping hurriedly shook her head.

Xu Qing did not insist further.

"Blow out the oil lamp before sleeping, just cover it with this."

"If you need to use the latrine at night, don't be shy, just call me."

After Xu Ping left, Xu Qing sat on the edge of the bed.

That evil qi hadn't reacted at all during the time he had been here.

It was hidden too deeply.

"It seems I can only use another method."

Xu Qing pulled up the quilt and went to sleep.

Early the next morning, the man and Xu Ping both got up and prepared breakfast.

After waiting for a long time, they found there was no movement from Xu Qing's room.

"Can girls from the city sleep this much?"

"If they all sleep until this hour, what time would it be by the time they finish cooking and head to the fields?"

Xu Ping rolled her eyes at the man.

"Great families in the city don't farm, and they don't have to cook for themselves."

"I'll go take a look."

She knocked on the side room door.

There was no response.

"Miss, I'm coming in!"

She shouted inside and pushed open the door.

The bedding was folded neatly, but the person was gone.

There was only a green long sword lying on the bed, motionless.

"...She left? So early?"

"And she forgot her sword?"

She reached out to grab the green sword.

The green sword was three feet long, with a hilt like jade vine, and the blade was hidden in its scabbard.

She tried to pull it out, but it didn't budge. She increased her strength, but it still wouldn't move.

"What are you doing?"

"That swordswoman left and forgot her sword. We have to return it to her."

"Who knows how much silver this sword is worth..."

The woman said, brandishing the green sword in her hand.

"Sword?"

"Where?"

The man looked around.

"Such a big sword, and you can't see it?"

"...Stop joking. Hurry up and eat, then head to the fields."

The man turned his head back to the table and continued eating.

Xu Ping remembered what Xu Qing said last night while stroking the sword.

This sword is named green tail white hair sword.

The sword is three feet long and has slain humans, demons, and ghosts.

"I must have encountered an Immortal!"

She walked in front of her man, waving the sword.

"What are you wiggling around for? Finish your meal and get to the fields!"

Alright, he really couldn't see it.

This really is... an Immortal's sword?
