85: Chapter 85 Green Snake Transformation

The image in the water mirror.

Looking about eleven or twelve years old, the eyes were the same as when in snake form—one black and one white—with slender, cyan-tinted corners.

From the cheeks down to the neck were adorned with a few cyan, jade-like scales.

Although Xu Qing was face-blind, he could tell that his appearance was excessively good-looking.

His long hair, black with hints of cyan, draped behind him.

His waist was like a water snake's, and from the hips down, it was a completely unchanged snake body.

As for his chest, it was impossible to tell any difference.

After all, he was only one year old.

The appearance after Transformation was only that of an eleven or twelve-year-old.

Before the Transformation, Xu Qing had always believed himself to be a male snake.

But now, after the Transformation, Xu Qing's heart was slightly shaken.

The Lisheng Green Snake has Yin and Yang Qi intertwined and balanced within its body, leaning neither toward Yin nor Yang.

Therefore, Xu Qing himself could not distinguish his own gender.

It was also because of this that he could convert between Soul and physical form.

Furthermore, he could freely traverse the boundary between life and death, which was extremely strange.

Surely the Lisheng Green Snake didn't lose its gender because of this, right?

Then what did it rely on to avoid extinction?

...Wait a minute, it seems it is extinct.

"Damn it, I don't want that to happen."

Xu Qing was anxious; had he evolved onto a path of no return?

The System hadn't explained it clearly either.

"...Forget it, that's not necessarily true. I'm still small, so it's hard to tell. Maybe I'll change back when I grow more."

Xu Qing looked at himself in the water mirror and consoled himself this way.

Besides, it wasn't impossible to evolve in the future. After evolving, perhaps he could break this state of Yin and Yang balance.

"I must say, I really look good."

Xu Qing stared at the water mirror, showing an expression of intoxication.

Since coming to this world, he had seen quite a few people; perhaps this was a reward from the heavens.

Most of them were beautiful women.

But Xu Qing really couldn't tell the difference; he even needed to stare intently to distinguish their gender.

Now that he had been looking at people for a long time, his face-blindness had improved slightly.

He could also tell that Lin Donglan, who was teased and praised by Xu Linger every day, did indeed look quite good.

She was on par with Lady White Flood Dragon.

But right now, the more he looked at himself in the water mirror, the better he looked.

Even for a face-blind person like Xu Qing, he felt a sense of attraction.

"I think I might be a bit narcissistic."

Xu Qing withdrew his gaze.

Then...

"This Snake must absolutely, absolutely not let anyone else see me like this!"

Xu Qing absolutely could not let others see him in this state where all his dignity was lost.

He was the West River God, after all; how could he display the dignity of a River God looking like this?

Xu Qing took out the Cyan Silk Flowing Light Dress rewarded by the System previously.

Looking at the Cyan Silk Flowing Light Dress, he suspected the System had planned this all along.

Of course, he wouldn't go so far as to cross-dress.

The Cyan Silk Flowing Light Dress could change its style as one wished.

So, with a thought, he changed the Cyan Silk Flowing Light into a cyan robe.

It was different from the scholarly robes full of ancient style.

Instead, it incorporated some modern elements, looking like a retro-style cyan overcoat.

There was even a hood on the back.

He pulled the hood up.

Black shadows covered his face under the hood.

This wasn't a physical shadow, but a metaphysical one.

Like a mask, it made it impossible for people to see his face, only his smooth, delicate chin.

"Today's River God is also full of dignity."

Xu Qing wanted to go out and show off his Transformation body.

A great demon after Transformation.

He, Xu Qing, finally had a day like this.

"Crimson-Tailed Burning Flame Crane, just keep grooming the feathers on your butt in the Swamp of Death."

"I will definitely pluck them all out and refine them into a fan!"

After Transformation, Xu Qing's confidence greatly increased.

He felt he was not far from that Crimson-Tailed Burning Flame Crane.

At the very least, in terms of Bloodline, the Lisheng Green Snake would not be inferior to the Crimson-Tailed Burning Flame Crane.

The original Bloodline suppression was gone!

He crawled out of the Snake Cave.

It was a coincidence that he ran into the person he most wanted to show off to: his Junior Sister Sword.

"Junior Sister!"

"Look at my Transformation body, how is it?"

Xu Linger was startled; this was the first time she had heard this strange voice.

The voice was ethereal and mysterious, with a hissing sound at the end of every sentence.

It seemed to be a speech habit.

Turning her head, she saw a creature with a human body and a snake tail.

It was none other than Xu Qing.

"Senior Brother, you've started your Transformation!"

Xu Linger looked incredulous and aggrieved.

As the saying goes, seeing others make a Breakthrough is more painful than regressing in rank yourself.

And this was still that sword-wielding snake.

It was easy to imagine that this Lisheng Green Snake must have come here intentionally to show off.

Was she really going to be suppressed by it forever?

Could she only hear this Lisheng Green Snake call her Senior Sister in her dreams?

While Xu Linger was still pondering, she saw the Lisheng Green Snake reach out a small hand and pinch her cheek.

"Be good, Junior Sister, don't cry."

Humiliation, humiliation, naked humiliation!

Angry, angry, angry!

This Lisheng Green Snake really knew how to play a good sword!

Xu Qing watched Xu Linger, who usually played with swords, get so angry that her Sword Qi scattered everywhere, and felt happy.

Then he satisfiedly slithered away with his snake body.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss!"

When Silly Snake saw Xu Qing, it was stunned for a moment, then excitedly slithered over.

"That's right, your boss has completed Transformation!"

Xu Qing leaned down and patted Silly Snake's head.

Before long, his hand turned purple.

Xu Qing, on the contrary, looked surprised and happy.

"Silly Snake, you've become even more poisonous!"

"Hiss, hiss, hiss!"

Xu Qing cast an Insight on it.

Although the [Snake Venom] was still lv5, its toxicity had greatly increased compared to before.

It must have reached the Peak of Snake Venom lv5.

The toxicity was approaching Snake Venom lv6.

Xu Qing himself didn't even have any lv6 skills.

As expected of the legendary Three-Colored Venomous Snake, it's poisonous enough.

"Silly Snake, you should also Transform sooner."

"After Transformation, I'll take you to the human world to eat delicious food."

"We'll have deep-fried Frog, braised Frog, steamed Frog, stir-fried Frog..."

As Xu Qing spoke, both snakes were drooling.

Silly Snake's drool dripped onto Xu Qing's tail; Xu Qing calmly backed away and wiped the drool off on Silly Snake's body.

"Silly Snake, life will get sweeter and sweeter."

"You go catch Frogs first; you can also store Frogs with me this year."

Even after Transformation, Xu Qing still didn't forget his original intention.

But Silly Snake seemed a bit hesitant.

Perhaps that pile of Frogs hiding spirit opening pills during the New Year had made Silly Snake a bit brighter.

But it was only a little bit brighter.

Xu Qing was a snake with great wisdom.

He waved his small hand at Silly Snake, and the small face under the hood smiled maliciously.

"This year, storing Frogs with this Lisheng Green Snake has a new activity."

"Let me explain it to you in detail."

Upon hearing about this "promotional" activity, the hesitation in Silly Snake's eyes gradually faded.

This Lisheng Green Snake was truly good to it.

Watching Silly Snake go out to catch Frogs, the face under Xu Qing's hood smiled even more happily.

Then he stuffed a prepared Frog into his mouth.

Only then did he realize his mouth was too small to swallow it at all.

"This body is truly anti-Lisheng Green Snake!"

Xu Qing changed back to his Lisheng Green Snake state.

He swallowed the Frog in one gulp.

"It's still more comfortable being a snake."

Xu Qing shook his snake head.

The excitement had passed.
