14: Section 14
Iris shook her slender finger, "You don't have two, so how can you say it's better than what my husband does?"
"Go to hell..."
"Spider Queen's True Form."
A giant spider appeared behind Iris. This was her Primordial Spirit. To deal with an eighth-level Yao Beast like the Cat Yao King, it had to be a fatal blow, giving him no chance to escape.
The Big Spider continuously spat out silk, turning the Cat Yao King into a cocoon. No matter how he struggled, he couldn't break free. The spider silk was highly poisonous and extremely corrosive.
The Cat Yao King struggled desperately for a while before completely dying. The surrounding Yao Beasts knelt down and begged for mercy.
After the matter concluded, Iris packed up and took Xiao Tie and Niu Gao with her. A seventh-level Yao Beast and an eighth-level Yao Beast were excellent food for the little cubs, helping them grow quickly.
"Husband, I have to go back first! I can't stay here long. After I lay my eggs, you must come back to see me."
"Mm... you go back first. I'll come to see you once I've stabilized things here."
Iris was sucked into a black hole and instantly vanished.
The Mantis Spirit led the other Yao Beasts to Xiao Bai, begging for mercy.
"Snake King, we were blind back then. Now that King Niu Gao is dead, we are willing to pledge allegiance to you."
"All of you, rise. From now on, follow me and do things properly. I can let bygones be bygones."
"Clean this place up."
This time, thanks to Iris's intervention, not only was the Cat Yao King dealt with, but Xiao Bai also gained a large territory.
Over a thousand Yao Beasts pledged allegiance to Xiao Bai, and Niu Gao's more than a hundred concubines naturally became his.
Originally, he had planned to kill Niu Gao and avenge his deceased snake wives after his strength grew, but by a twist of fate, Iris killed him instead.
"This soft rice tastes so good. It's great to have a powerful wife."
Chapter 19: Isn't this cow dung? What Transformation Pill?
Having successfully taken over Niu Gao's wives and concubines, Xiao Bai arranged for two to serve him every night. Life was incredibly comfortable.
It seemed very peaceful now, but as the Spider Queen continuously hatched eggs, her offspring would grow increasingly numerous, becoming unmanageable.
Xiao Bai could only choose a free-range model. Survival of the fittest; only the strongest offspring would survive.
Opening up a dozen large mountains to the southwest would connect the spider territory, allowing their strength to grow even more.
These male Cow Demons are very strong, naturally suited for such strenuous labor.
He was just afraid of encountering other Advanced Yao Beasts causing trouble in the future, so he had to firmly cling to Iris's leg.
He didn't know if this System had some kind of illness. As Xiao Bai was expanding his Family, it forcefully popped up, almost scaring him into impotence.
Ding! A deafening sound struck his spiritual build.
"Host, stop for now. There are still things to clarify. This System will not appear again for the next three months."
"What the hell? Are you taking maternity leave? Can't you work properly?"
The System's soft and cute girl quickly explained: "No, recently the System Bureau has been assigning heavy tasks, making me interface with a dozen Hosts at once."
"They are all Hosts from the 'Liangjian' world and Hong Kong film worlds. They are weak but love to show off, not knowing how to keep a low profile in the early stages, which makes me dizzy."
"Wuwu, you are more stable."
Xiao Bai said helplessly, "Just get to the point. I won't waste your time."
"Host, cultivating in human form can accelerate your cultivation. If you're not cultivating, you should promptly return to your true form to better absorb the essence of the sun and moon and increase your cultivation."
"Is that all? I've felt pretty much the same these past few days."
With a burst of soft moans from the Cow Demon, the System's awkwardness was broken, and it quietly went offline again.
"King, what's wrong with you! Are you not satisfied with us?"
Xiao Bai shook his body, looking like he cherished the beauties.
"If I had known you were so unhappy, I should have come sooner."
Although Niu Gao was very robust, he was typically quick and short-lived. Since these wives and concubines followed Xiao Bai, they all radiated smiles of happiness, immersed in joy every night.
Xiao Bai discovered the Pill Refining Room Niu Gao had hidden deep in the cave, an intelligence provided by a Female Cow Demon.
Three Cow Demon worked day and night in three shifts, so it was indeed very well-hidden.
As soon as he pushed open the large iron door, he smelled a pungent odor of cow dung.
The three Cow Demon immediately became alert. A Female Cow Demon beside Xiao Bai explained, "Niu Li, don't be nervous. This is the new King."
"King Niu Gao is dead. Before he died, he asked the Snake King to take charge."
Niu Li quietly approached the Female Cow Demon: "Sister Hong, when did our Cow Clan need to listen to a snake?"
Niu Xiaohong made a gesture: "The Snake King is much fiercer than King Niu Gao. All the sisters who have tried him praise him highly."
Seeing them still whispering, Xiao Bai extended his tail into the hot furnace, picked up a Medicinal Pill, and asked, "Do you really use cow dung to refine Transformation Pills?"
"This is an ancestral secret recipe. It must be refined with cow dung, otherwise the Transformation Pill will have no effect."
Niu Li sighed, "It's a pity that our Cow Clan has fallen, which is why we need to use Transformation Pills to win over those Yao Beasts to fight for us."
The Transformation Pill spun rapidly on the tip of the snake's tail.
"Are there any that last a bit longer?"
"No, they all have a one-month limit. This is a rule set by our Old Ancestors. First, it's to assist Yao Beasts without Family influence in their Cultivation, allowing ordinary Yao Beasts to achieve Heaven-Defying change."
"The final result is that these ordinary Yao Beasts rarely achieve anything. When the one-month period is up, they transform back into their true form and die suddenly. Very few can withstand the backlash of the Transformation Pill."
Niu Li led Xiao Bai to the mass grave in the back mountain, very close to the Pill Refining Room.
She pointed to the piles of white bones: "These are just the recent ones. Many weak beast clans couldn't withstand the power of the Transformation Pill; they exploded and died right after taking it."
The animal carcasses were covered with various insects. Reality was cruel. Xiao Bai, having evolved from an ordinary Physique little snake, would not have even survived without the System's blessing.
Now, ruling a hundred-mile radius as a mountain king, possessing the abilities of a sixth-level Yao Beast, was a dream many Yao Beasts could hardly achieve.
Many Yao Beasts who took the Transformation Pill suffered the torment of burning fire within their bodies every night.
The Mantis Spirit flapped his wings and flew towards Xiao Bai. After transforming, he respectfully saluted Xiao Bai.
"Snake King, a fox demon is making a huge fuss in the council hall, saying she's looking for you. That little missy has a fiery temper and has injured several Protectors."
The Mantis Spirit's face was still swollen in several places, and he kept waving the green blades on his arms, growing angrier as he spoke.
Xiao Bai asked, "What's her strength, and what does she look like?"
"She's a very cute little girl, with very white and long legs, wearing a red dress. She's prettier than most fox demons in the stronghold, but her temper is very fiery."
"At least a fourth-level Yao Beast. Several Protectors working together are no match for her."
"Lead the way. It must be that mischievous one who has come."
Xiao Bai shot up into the sky and flew towards the stronghold. Outside the council hall, over a hundred Yao Beasts were gathered.
There were also a dozen Protectors eager to act. These had all endured the one-month torment of the Transformation Pill and officially entered Yao Cultivation. However, before reaching the seventh-level Yao Beast stage, they still needed to take the Transformation Pill every month, otherwise they couldn't transform smoothly.
The Cow Clan could mass-produce Transformation Pills, so these were easily obtained.
They stood at the entrance, not daring to go in. Inside, chairs, vases, and various other objects were constantly being thrown out.
They shattered all over the floor.
"Ah... this missy is furious! Quickly call out that stinky snake! He's untrustworthy and ungrateful."
Xiao Bai slowly descended from the sky. The Yao Beasts respectfully saluted, "Greetings, Snake King."
The Wild Boar Spirit ran over to report, "King, that little fox inside is very fierce. We don't dare to go in."
"All of you, withdraw. This King will handle it."
"Yes..."
Xiao Bai used his snake tail to gently pick up a chair that had been thrown and slowly set it down.
"You You, it really is you. You didn't even notify me in advance that you were coming. I haven't even had a chance to welcome you. If you're still angry, I'll smash things with you."
"Hmph..."
Tu Shan You You's mouth was pouting higher than her nose. She stood with her hands on her slender waist, pointing at Xiao Bai and cursing, "You ungrateful, scabby snake! You've settled down and started living a good life here, so you don't come to play with me anymore."
"I'm tired, thirsty, and hungry. Hurry up and bring me delicious food, then I'll consider whether to forgive you."
"No problem!"
Xiao Bai gently tapped the floor with his snake tail: "Come on, bring me all the fine wine and delicacies. Today I want to drink until I drop with my little sister."
Chapter 20: The Little Fox Comes Knocking
This fiery temper, it came quickly and went quickly.
Tu Shan You You drank heavily and ate meat heartily, like a hungry ghost reincarnated, grabbing a lamb leg and gnawing on it.
Completely disregarding her image, her mouth was greasy, and her dirty little hands wiped directly onto her clothes.
"Xiao Bai, you're so mean. I've been thinking about you day and night in Tu Shan Village, just hoping you'd come back soon to play with me."
"But you, you've settled down here, constantly having cubs. I heard that all the female Yao Beasts within a hundred-mile radius have been 'ruined' by you."
Xiao Bai looked at Tu Shan You You's fair, slender legs and forcefully explained, "Nonsense, how could I be that kind of snake?"
"I just happened to pass by here, killed a Black Bull Demon, and became the mountain king here. Seeing so many of his wives and concubines lonely and helpless, I just helped take care of them."
Tu Shan You You pointed at the Cow Demon and Cat Yao Beasts standing at the door, and a few other female Yao Beasts.
"Look, their bellies are all big. You still want to play dumb."
"Are they? I can't tell." Xiao Bai was puzzled.
Tu Shan You You widened her eyes, wiped them with two fingers, and her large eyes instantly turned red. Two beams of light shone on the Yao Beasts' bellies.
"See? Are there cubs in their bellies?"
Xiao Bai's snake body trembled: "Holy crap, it really is! What kind of high-tech is this? It can even do a B-scan!"
