29: Section 29

“No, besides this one, have you seen any other white snakes?”

“No…” Yu Ji decisively shook her head.

Hiss hiss!

Xiao Bai sniffed the scent. After transforming, he could switch his forked tongue at any time. He smelled Bai Su’s scent, and it was very close.

He pressed the snake spear to Yu Ji’s throat: “Still not telling the truth? I can already smell her.”

“If you don’t speak, don’t blame me for being impolite.”

Xiao Bai just wanted to scare Yu Ji, when suddenly, a Little White Snake darted out of her body, blocking him.

Qing Lin was overjoyed and excitedly shouted: “Don’t move, she is Older Sister.”

“Impossible, how could such a small one be Bai Su? She’s not even as big as a chick.”

Qing Lin gently stroked the Little White Snake: “Older Sister, if it’s you, nod your head. We will take you back, and we will definitely help you recover.”

The Little White Snake blinked her big eyes, looking very cute. Her face and head were still a bit pink. She nodded slightly and snuggled into Qing Lin’s hand.

“Xiao Gege, this is Older Sister, I can’t be mistaken.”

Yu Ji immediately snatched her back: “You can’t take her away now, she’s injured and needs rest.”

Qing Lin had little patience. After finally finding Bai Su, she was being blocked by a Level 6 Yao Beast Merfolk. The killing intent in her eyes was unconcealed.

In the end, Xiao Bai stopped her and kindly persuaded: “Mermaid beauty, we are this Little White Snake’s family. You can see that we are also snakes, and we won’t harm her.”

“We don’t belong to this water area and need to rush back to land. I hope you won’t obstruct us.”

“With your Level 6 Yao Beast Cultivation, you can’t protect her very well.”

“How about this, I’ll give you a Dragon in exchange.”

Yu Ji shook her head repeatedly: “I don’t want this smelly Dragon.”

After Xiao Bai’s eloquent persuasion and his skill at coaxing young girls, Yu Ji reluctantly agreed.

“Alright, you have to agree to one condition before I can give the Little White Snake to you.”

Xiao Bai eagerly asked: “No problem, just tell me. I’ll fulfill it immediately if I can.”

“Uh… I haven’t thought about it yet, let’s talk about it later.”

“Then how do I contact you later? Come here to find you?”

Yu Ji handed Xiao Bai a conch: “I’ll notify you with the conch when I think of it later.”

“Release Ao Qian. I also hate him, but he is a Dragon Clan member after all. If you kill him, it will implicate the entire Merfolk.”

Qing Lin kicked Ao Qian: “It depends on your attitude.”

Ao Qian kowtowed like pounding garlic: “As long as Snake Immortal spares my life, I will definitely turn over a new leaf and never covet the Mermaid Princess. The Merfolk will be the Dragon Clan’s eternal friends.”

“Your attitude is quite sincere. But what if you go back on your word as soon as we leave?”

“Snake Immortal, please rest assured, I, Ao Qian, have always been a man of my word.”

Qing Lin grabbed a green snake and bit Ao Qian’s arm.

“You are now poisoned by my snake venom. If you don’t behave, I won’t give you the antidote.”

“Get lost.”

“Thank you, Snake Immortal, thank you, Snake Immortal.”

As soon as the green rope loosened, Ao Qian immediately swam into the distance and disappeared.

After a brief farewell to Yu Ji, Xiao Bai took Bai Su and left this sea area, heading towards the Hot Springs to go ashore.

Qing Lin followed closely, her eyes fixed on the conch in Xiao Bai’s hand.

“This mermaid is quite tricky, keeping you in suspense and even leaving a conch to send signals. You can find a place to have a secret affair anytime. You’re not even trying to hide it in front of me, are you?”

“It’s not as exaggerated as you say. She just hasn’t thought about what she wants me to do yet.”

“Hmph…” Qing Lin was very unhappy: “Anyway, I don’t care. Before Older Sister recovers, I won’t allow you to go find the mermaid.”

“You’re one thing to my face and another behind my back. That’s how you tricked me.”

Chapter 40: Don’t Panic, I’ll Protect You

Two giant pythons, one white and one green, swam quickly in the water, accompanied by a cute Little White Snake.

The snake form was much faster in the water. Qing Lin used Blue Silver Entwinement on Xiao Bai and even gave him a chokehold.

“What are you doing? We’re traveling, can you be serious? This isn’t the time to play.”

“Bai Su is still watching.”

Qing Lin not only ignored Xiao Bai’s complaints but tightened her grip even more.

“Quick, tell me, what’s with that golden bowl? How many other things are you hiding from me? You struggled so much before, how could you make the golden bowl fly by itself all of a sudden?”

Xiao Bai certainly couldn’t say it was a reward from the System, so he could only give a lewd smile.

“If I didn’t use this method, how could I have gotten you?”

Qing Lin’s angry, pretty face flushed crimson. She blamed herself for being too naive. Xiao Bai had fooled her completely, and now that the deed was done, she couldn’t say much.

Now, the more she looked at Xiao Bai, the more she liked him. After transforming, he was dignified and a bit handsome, witty and humorous, always able to argue with her, and always giving her a sense of novelty. Which female snake could refuse such a male snake?

At that time, Xiao Bai was also at his wit’s end. It was all thanks to his procreation with Iris. As most of their offspring’s Cultivation improved, they gave feedback to Xiao Bai.

This allowed Xiao Bai to reach the strength of an Level 8 Yao Beast. The System was even more generous, directly giving him Tianlong Temple’s treasured Magic Treasure and teaching him a unique secret technique, so that the golden bowl would only obey him.

This was how Xiao Bai and Qing Lin had suddenly emerged from the golden bowl earlier.

“Don’t squeeze so tightly, something bad will happen.”

“Isn’t it just a bowl? If you want to see it, I’ll give it to you to study.”

Xiao Bai spat out the golden bowl from his mouth. It was slimy and a bit disgusting, but there was no other way. In snake form, he had no pockets, and it was really hard to carry things when completely naked.

“Ew, that’s disgusting.”

“My goodness, you think it’s disgusting now? Why didn’t you say it was disgusting when you forcibly kissed me?”

Qing Lin coiled her snake tail around it and examined it carefully. She was puzzled: “Isn’t this just an ordinary golden bowl? Why was it so powerful in the Old Bald Donkey’s hands, making Older Sister and I suffer so much?”

“Here, take it back. It’s really boring.”

The three snakes reached the bottom of the Hot Springs, then ascended to leave this water area. The water depth was at least several hundred meters.

Suddenly, Xiao Bai was attracted by the water plants in the rock crevices at the bottom, which continuously emitted green Spiritual Qi, all drilling into the rock crevices.

Crack!

Xiao Bai opened his gaping maw and swallowed all these water plants and rocks, not wasting a single bit of Spiritual Qi.

“You’re so perverted, you eat everything.”

“Little Qing, you’ll be licking me later.”

They were in a hurry to travel, and Xiao Bai didn’t want to explain too much. Bai Su’s body was very weak and urgently needed to go ashore for recuperation. After filtering, the water plants and rocks were spat out from his mouth.

Gurgle gurgle!

Bubbles emerged from the calm water, and the snow eagles circling in the air let out sharp cries.

“Second Brother, quickly go notify Master Ling You, Reverend.”

Ling You, Reverend and the eminent monks of Tianlong Temple had been waiting at the foot of the mountain for days. Upon receiving the signal from the snow eagles, they were very excited. A dozen monks flew through the air, heading straight for the Hot Springs.

“Excellent, the Da Luo Golden Bowl and the three snakes are indeed hidden in the water. Let’s see where they can escape this time.”

“Everyone, listen to my command! Slay the Prodigies and reclaim the supreme treasure!”

“Yes…”

To ensure foolproof success, Ling You, Reverend also summoned dozens of Yao Beasts. In the face of absolute power, these Yao Beasts could only obey orders.

The water surface was surrounded layer by layer, just waiting for Xiao Bai and the others to emerge.

The emerging bubbles continuously increased in frequency, as if a time bomb was buried in the water, ready to explode at any moment.

Boom! Boom!

Huge splashes of water shot dozens of meters high, and a White Python rushed out of the water.

Ling You, Reverend shouted: “Form the array! Slay the Prodigies!”

The staff in his hand could not summon a golden Dragon to fight. It had been significantly damaged in the last encounter with Bai Su, developing cracks.

He had originally thought it was Bai Su emerging from the water, but it turned out to be Xiao Bai, who was ambushing him.

“Go together! Kill this White Snake!”

Qing Lin, carrying Bai Su’s original form, the Little White Snake, followed closely behind. A large golden net had already trapped Xiao Bai, and dozens of Yao Beasts surrounded him, baring their fangs.

“Green Snake, you won’t escape either.”

Bai Su’s body was so small that she wasn’t even discovered.

“Older Sister, you go hide first.”

“Old Baldy, it’s you again! This old lady will fight you all to the death!”

Not seeing Bai Su emerge, Ling You, Reverend’s mood relaxed considerably. He guessed that Bai Su was either dead or had been beaten back to her original form and crippled.

“Green Snake, you have a truly tenacious life. Even the Da Luo Golden Bowl couldn’t eliminate you. Quickly tell me where the golden bowl is, and perhaps this old monk can leave you a complete corpse.”

Xiao Bai transformed into human form, the golden bowl spinning in his slender palm.

“Old Baldy, is this what you’re looking for? I use it to eat every day, and it’s quite heavy, good for exercising arm muscles.”

Ling You, Reverend was greatly enraged that Tianlong Temple’s supreme treasure had been desecrated.

“Prodigy, don’t be so arrogant! How dare an Level 8 Yao Beast bark in front of this old monk? Although your Cultivation speed surprises this old monk, you are ultimately still too weak.”

The eminent monks Ling You, Reverend brought with him were at least Nascent Soul cultivators, with two reaching the Late Stage Soul Transformation, comparable to a Level 1 Demon King, while he himself possessed the strength of an Level 2 Demon King.

In the past, relying on the two Magical Artifacts in his hand, he dared to challenge the White Snake and the Green Snake alone.

Xiao Bai sneered: “So what? If you have the ability, take it back.”
