31: Section 31

Qing Lin had already finished her battle, having swallowed all eight eminent monks. She let out a satisfied burp.

“Ugh… so comfortable! The taste wasn’t bad.”

“Xiao Gege, do you want me to help you? This Old Bald Donkey has targeted me and my sister multiple times, trying to kill us. We absolutely cannot let him go.”

Xiao Bai was tired from fighting just now and twisted his head: “Alright, let’s attack together.”

“Something’s not right. According to Jianghu rules, isn’t it supposed to be a one-on-one duel?”

Xiao Bai cursed: “Duel my ass! Those Baldies were ganging up on you just now, weren’t they?”

Qing Lin decisively joined the battle. Ling You, Reverend completely panicked, trapped in the light pillar with no escape.

Xiao Bai and Qing Lin ganged up on him, showing no martial virtue.

“Dead Bald Donkey, aren’t you very powerful? You chased me and my sister all over the place by yourself back then. Try being fierce again.”

High-intensity attacks from both sides caused cracks to appear in Ling You, Reverend’s Vajra Body Protection, and his damage was much weaker than before.

The space was also very confined, with nowhere to hide. He had become a turtle in a jar.

Ling You, Reverend was also a man of integrity. Witnessing his fellow disciples die tragically, and facing two powerful snake Yao, even though he was covered in wounds, he still held his head high and did not beg for mercy.

For him to surrender to the Yao Race, his lifelong enemies, he would rather die.

At the last moment, Ling You, Reverend used the Myriad Buddha Hand Seal to strike his own forehead, and blood spurted out.

“Even if this Old Monk dies, I will never surrender to you all.”

Xiao Bai sighed: “He’s quite a man. We didn’t have to go this far.”

He decisively retrieved his golden bowl, found a place with good Feng Shui, and buried Ling You, Reverend. This was to give the abbot of Tianlong Temple his final dignity. There was no right or wrong, only different affiliations and vastly different beliefs.

If Xiao Bai had fallen into their hands, he might have also chosen to commit suicide rather than suffer humiliation.

After the great battle, Bai Su emerged from the snow pile, and the nimble Little White Snake coiled around Xiao Bai’s arm.

Qing Lin was stunned: “Sister, I’m here? Why did you go to him?”

At this, the Little White Snake immediately burrowed into Xiao Bai’s clothes, shyly hiding.

Qing Lin spread her hands and smiled wryly: “You’re amazing. Our sisterly bond of over a thousand years was stolen by you after you transformed.”

“Let’s go, no time to lose! Let’s go to Tu Shan Village to see the Old Clan Leader. Bai Su’s situation cannot be delayed any longer.”

Xiao Bai led the way, flying, with Qing Lin close behind him.

They flew towards Tu Shan Village at top speed. As soon as they arrived overhead, Tu Shan You You waved to Xiao Bai.

“I’m here, come down quickly.”

Being confined in Tu Shan Village for this period of time had truly driven her crazy. Seeing Qing Lin with Xiao Bai, she was very unhappy, her small face swollen like a bean bun.

“Hmph, what are you, this green snake, doing here?”

Qing Lin hadn't seen Tu Shan You You for a while, and they started bickering as soon as they met.

“None of your business. Wherever Xiao Gege goes, I go.”

Tu Shan You You got goosebumps, her face full of disdain: “Must you be so mushy? When did you two get together?”

Qing Lin stepped forward and grabbed her arm: “Guess…”

“You two scoundrels, you’re infuriating me!”

Tu Shan You You’s face instantly darkened. She felt like her beloved gift had been snatched away and stomped on the green grass under her feet.

“Where is Tu Shan Clan Leader?” Xiao Bai asked.

“I don’t know. Go find him yourself. Don’t you have legs?”

Tu Shan You You’s voice was loud, and her attitude was very unfriendly. She turned and left.

Qing Lin pointed at her retreating back: “What’s going on? This little fox is actually jealous. She’s definitely not a child; she understands quite a lot.”

In the end, it was Xiao He who led Xiao Bai to the thatched hut by the stream. Tu Shan Mingyi was giving Iris a medicinal bath. The little spider’s aura was even weaker than before.

“Tu Shan Clan Leader.” Xiao Bai respectfully saluted and asked: “How is Iris?”

“The situation is not optimistic. Did you bring back the Millennium Snow Lotus?”

Xiao Bai shook his head in disappointment, his face full of shame: “No, I encountered some troublesome matters and was delayed.”

He took out the Little White Snake: “Please, Old Clan Leader, take a look at this.”

“This…” Tu Shan Mingyi was instantly dumbfounded: “I haven’t even sorted out the Spider Queen, and now there’s another snake? Do you take this place for a pet shelter?”

“It’s pretty much that situation. We need to find the Millennium Snow Lotus quickly to stabilize their Primordial Spirits. With the medicine I have, I can only maintain them for two months at most. Once their Primordial Spirits are completely extracted, they’ll be no different from ordinary spiders and snakes.”

Suddenly, Tu Shan You You walked in from outside, fuming: “Grandpa, ignore this scummy snake. He went out and messed around again, and brought back two more!”

The more Tu Shan You You spoke, the angrier she got. She poked Xiao Bai’s chest with her small finger: “You are a married man! The Spider Queen has sacrificed so much to bear your offspring.”

“I thought you would quickly find the Millennium Snow Lotus to save her, but instead, you went out and had fun with these two snakes!”

Qing Lin didn't want the conflict to escalate and explained for Xiao Bai: “Little fox, things aren’t as you think. He was delayed in finding the snow lotus because he was saving me and my sister.”

“Shut up, you vixen!”

“No, that feels like I’m scolding myself.” Tu Shan You You immediately corrected herself: “You snake demon!”

Seeing them arguing again, Xiao Bai could only retreat from the thatched hut to calm down.

Tu Shan Mingyi covered his ears, which were about to explode, and yelled: “Stop arguing! He’s a Snake King, it’s reasonable for him to have a few female snakes. The Millennium Snow Lotus isn’t that easy to find. Aren’t there still two months left?”

“Rest for a night, and set off early tomorrow to find it.”

“Hmph…”

Qing Lin and Tu Shan You You both pouted, neither willing to yield. If the old man hadn't stopped them, they would probably have argued until dawn.

Xiao Bai lay on the grass, gazing at the starry sky, recalling the strange encounters he had experienced since his Transmigration. His heart was filled with emotion.

Suddenly, he felt an itch in his nose. Tu Shan You You was teasing him with her fox tail.

“Alright, don’t be angry anymore. I was wrong just now.”

She lay quietly beside Xiao Bai, watching the stars together, gentle, well-behaved, and clingy, as if she had grown up all of a sudden.

Chapter 43: Green Snake Wants to Cuddle

Tu Shan You You lay beside Xiao Bai the entire time without speaking, well-behaved and quiet, completely unlike her usual personality.

The two of them stayed on the grass until dawn.

“Hmph, serves you right for being a playboy.”

Tu Shan You You bit Xiao Bai’s arm hard, then quickly ran away. The teeth marks were deeply imprinted on Xiao Bai’s arm.

Xiao Bai sighed: “I didn’t want to be a scummy snake, it’s just that the System gave me too much.”

“Don’t worry, I will be responsible for you all.”

Since subduing the green snake, Xiao Bai was even more convinced of his previous idea: a powerful wife could not only bear him high-quality offspring, which would in turn benefit him, but also serve as a bodyguard, killing multiple birds with one stone.

In the future, these offspring would grow into a formidable force, their combat power not to be underestimated.

During the great battle between Pan Si Mountain and the Five Venoms Allied Forces, the offspring of Xiao Bai and Iris played a huge role.

Qing Lin tiptoed over with small steps. Xiao Bai noticed the slight rustling of the grass.

“Come out, you sneaky one.”

Qing Lin waved her hand and smiled awkwardly: “What a coincidence, you’re here too. I just wanted to come out for some fresh air.”

“Stop pretending. You were hiding in the grass spying all night. Get ready and say hello to Tu Shan Clan Leader, then we’ll go to Azure Sky Peak.”

“You found out about that too. The little fox slept next to you last night, why didn’t you make a move? It was killing me!”

Xiao Bai just smiled and didn’t explain further. He got up and headed to Tu Shan Mingyi’s thatched hut.

“Tu Shan Clan Leader.”

“You’re here. Quite early, I just woke up myself.”

Tu Shan Mingyi brought over an exquisite stone box. When opened, it emitted cold air, like a natural mini-refrigerator.

“Take this with you. If you find the snow lotus, put it in here immediately to keep it fresh.”

“Alright…”

“Thank you for your trouble, Old Clan Leader. This Junior is immensely grateful.” Xiao Bai bowed with cupped hands.

“Go quickly. You don’t have much time left.”

“Qing Lin, let’s go.”

Xiao Bai turned and left with Qing Lin. Tu Shan You You hid in a large tree, watching Xiao Bai’s retreating back. This time, she didn't follow, nor did she make a fuss. She understood that with her current strength, following would only cause trouble.

Tu Shan Mingyi watched her from below: “Come down. They’ve already flown far away.”

“Grandpa…”

Tu Shan You You’s eyes welled up with tears, and she sobbed on the old man’s shoulder.

“What’s the use of crying? Why don’t you Cultivate properly, always just wanting to play?”

“Any Yao Beast on Azure Sky Peak is Rank 6. With your current Cultivation, going there would only be suicide.”

Tu Shan Mingyi shook his head: “I remember the first time I saw Xiao Bai, he was one Rank lower than you. Now he’s a Rank 8 Yao Beast, but you’re still stuck at Rank 5 with no progress. Settle down and Cultivate diligently. Even the best talent can’t tolerate laziness.”

“Grandpa, I understand.”

Deeply aware of the Rank gap with Xiao Bai, Tu Shan You You quickly plunged into the clan’s Cultivation Secret Realm.

Azure Sky Peak was still towering into the clouds, with perpetual snow. A dozen snow eagles circled in the sky.

Qing Lin decisively rode on a Rank 6 Yao Beast snow eagle. Its wingspan exceeded ten meters, offering an excellent view from this angle.

“Snake Lord, spare my life!”

“I ask you, have you seen a kind of snow lotus? You often roam the snowy mountains.”

The snow eagle was almost choked to death and quickly begged for mercy: “Yes, Snake Lord, please spare me. Two days ago, on the steep cliff to the west, my brothers and I accidentally discovered it, but it was snatched away by the Crystal Snow Ape.”

“Where is the Crystal Snow Ape? Lead the way quickly, or I’ll wring your neck!”
