342: Chapter 342 Sister, are you crazy?

"Sister, I understand that you are kind-hearted."

"But if we keep this child by our side, I fear it will be a massive disaster."

"Not to mention the celestial phenomena he caused the moment he was born."

The Green Snake's expression was grave. She leaned close to the white-robed woman and lowered her voice.

"When you were feeding that child just now... feeding him your... did you not notice anything special about him?"

Hearing her younger sister bring up the feeding just now,

a charming flush instantly spread across the white-robed woman's jade-white, beautiful face.

She adjusted her slightly disheveled collar with some awkwardness, gave a dry cough with shifty eyes, and then spoke with a hint of shyness.

"I... I did feel it."

"This child is extraordinary. Aside from the layer enveloping his body—which seems to be a protective barrier cast by his mother using her last remaining primordial spirit to isolate something..."

The white-robed woman's expression became exceptionally serious, and she said, enunciating every word:

"I sensed a tyrannical and violent bloodline power within his body."

"That power does not belong to any human cultivator."

"Rather... it is just like our Demon race."

"It is perhaps even more ancient and noble than our own lineage."

"This child must be a forbidden bloodline born from the union of a powerful human and a top-tier demon."

Once these words were spoken,

Su Chen, lying in the fluff, dared not even breathe.

Although this white-robed woman looked gentle as water and had even let him take advantage of her,

she was undoubtedly a top-tier powerhouse.

With just a few short sentences,

he knew his biggest secret had been discovered.

He was not only a human but also the biological child of that tyrannical, capricious Black Dragon Demon Sovereign lurking in the depths of the Spirit River.

In this cultivation world where humans and demons are distinct paths, and "those not of my race must have a different heart,"

a half-breed possessing a top-tier demon bloodline—

if he were to fall into the hands of those "orthodox sects," his fate would be absolutely more miserable than death.

Would these two women kill him?

"Human-demon intermarriage?"

The Green Snake gasped.

"No wonder! No wonder he could trigger such a terrifying heaven-and-earth thunder tribulation the moment he was born."

"Human-demon intermarriage is a taboo forbidden by the Heavenly Dao to begin with, and furthermore, the parent who belongs to the Demon race must be extremely powerful."

"Heaven intends to destroy him."

The Green Snake grabbed the white-robed woman's arm and said urgently,

"Sister, this child's demon bloodline is too tyrannical."

"Even if it is currently concealed by his mother's primordial spirit barrier, it can only protect him for a while, not a lifetime."

"We must figure out what sacred entity the demon blood within him originates from!"

"Sister, aren't you about to break through to that level of cultivation?"

"Your demon true form is more sensitive to bloodlines than mine."

The Green Snake stared intently at the white-robed woman.

"Sister, revert to your true form and probe the origin of this child's bloodline."

"If it's a trouble we cannot afford to provoke, we... even if we don't kill him, we absolutely cannot keep him by our side!"

Hearing her younger sister's suggestion, the white-robed woman fell silent for a moment.

She looked at the infant not far away, who was blinking his big eyes and lying quietly without crying or fussing, and a trace of reluctance flashed through her heart.

But having supported her younger sister all the way to this level of cultivation, she knew better than anyone:

In this cultivation world filled with danger at every turn, a moment of carelessness leads to eternal damnation.

The two sisters had depended on each other to reach this day; they absolutely could not bring about a catastrophe due to a moment of soft-heartedness.

"Alright."

The white-robed woman took a deep breath and nodded.

The next second,

under the horrified gaze of little Su Chen,

the white-robed woman, who had originally been gentle, beautiful, and like a celestial maiden descended from the heavens,

suddenly erupted with a brilliant, dazzling white spiritual light from her entire body.

The light was so dazzling that one could not look directly at it.

Accompanied by a crisp sound of bones stretching and scales rubbing against each other,

the light dissipated.

The stunning female cultivator had disappeared.

In her place was a massive creature several zhang long.

It was a peerless, massive snake, snow-white from head to tail without a single speck of other color.

Its enormous body coiled within the cave, occupying more than half the space.

The pressure it emitted did not seem much weaker than that of his own beastly father.

And what shocked Su Chen the most was the top of this white snake's head.

On top of its massive snake skull, two distinct fleshy bumps had actually bulged out.

Faintly, two small, coral-like bifurcated antennae had already grown out.

This white-robed woman was a spirit snake that had already transformed into a jiao, and even faintly showed signs of becoming a dragon!

"Hiss, hiss..."

The giant white snake flicked its scarlet tongue.

Those golden vertical pupils stared quietly at the tiny infant in the nest.

It gently brought its massive head close to Su Chen.

It used its cold, huge snout to nuzzle against Su Chen's tender little face.

A moment later,

the white snake raised its head, and blinding white light shone from its body once more.

The massive snake body shrank and transformed, turning back into the gentle woman in white as snow.

"Sister, did you find out? What is this child's background?"

Seeing her sister revert to human form, the Green Snake hurriedly stepped forward and asked anxiously.

The white-robed woman took a deep breath, looked at the Green Snake, and said, enunciating every word:

"I found it."

"What flows in this child's veins is indeed not ordinary demon blood."

The white-robed woman's voice trembled slightly.

"That is... the bloodline of that old thing that has lived for ten thousand years in the deepest part of the Spirit River!"

"What?!"

The Green Snake was struck as if by lightning; she staggered back two steps.

"That old guy... could it be that this child is what he prepared to use for..."

"Correct."

The white-robed woman nodded, a flash of hatred passing through her eyes.

"With that guy's bloodline, it is no longer strange; no wonder he had such tyrannical vitality the moment he was born."

"This child must be what that old thing has been plotting and scheming to use to refine a 'Great Flesh Pill' to break through the shackles of heaven and earth and ascend in broad daylight..."

"Furthermore..."

The white-robed woman walked to Su Chen's side and looked at the pearl emitting a green light on his neck.

"Father and son are connected by blood, with a mysterious, preordained connection."

"If not for the primordial spirit barrier on this child, which wraps around his mother's umbilical cord blood and forcibly cuts off this blood connection..."

"I fear he would have already been found by his biological father and swallowed whole, with absolutely no chance of survival."

Hearing this shocking truth, the Green Snake's face instantly turned deathly pale.

She lunged forward to grab the white-robed woman's arm.

"Sister! Are you crazy?"

"Since you know he is that old thing's seed, how can we still keep him?"

The Green Snake was so anxious that her eyes turned red.
