44: Section 44

Xiao Bai couldn't help but swallow his saliva, truly unable to resist.

He gently rubbed Bai Su's chest with his fingers, adopting the posture of an old Chinese Medicine Doctor.

"Does this hurt?"

"No, it doesn't."

"How about here..."

"Doesn't hurt either."

Bai Su's exquisite face was already flushed red, the color spreading down to her neck. She felt countless tiny electric currents flowing through her body, leaving her tingling and itchy all over.

Xiao Bai thoroughly examined Bai Su's entire body several times, spending a full hour on the task, prioritizing rigor and meticulousness—a true industry benchmark.

"Xiao Bai, are you done? I want to..."

Bai Su didn't have the nerve to finish her sentence. Xiao Bai chuckled inwardly, this being the first time he had appreciated such a beautiful figure up close.

"Done. Put your clothes on."

Bai Su quickly put on her clothes and smoothed her hair, returning to her pure, immaculate, Immortal Qi-infused appearance.

"Excellent, excellent. You've recovered very well, and there are no lingering side effects."

"Since that's the case, let's return to Tu Shan Village. I'm afraid Sister Qing'er and the others might be worried."

"Alright."

After bidding farewell to the descendants in Pan Si Cave, Xiao Bai took Bai Su and left.

Her body had completely recovered, but she didn't know why she couldn't revert to her true form. Flying in snake form would be much faster, and her physical strength would be greater.

"Su Su, ride on my back. We'll reach Tu Shan Village faster this way."

"Mm..."

Bai Su didn't refuse, tightly hugging Xiao Bai's snake body. Through the snake skin on his back, he could vaguely feel two soft masses.

Xiao Bai was already eighty percent sure: as long as he resolved the issue concerning Qing Lin, he could break down the barrier in Bai Su's heart. She would be conquered sooner or later; haste makes waste.

If he had truly wanted to act, he had plenty of chances in the secret chamber, and Bai Su wouldn't have resisted. However, doing so would make it impossible for her to face Qing Lin. Given Bai Su's nature, she would silently leave, making it impossible for anyone to find her.

Just as they arrived above Tu Shan Village, Qing Lin excitedly waved into the air: "Xiao Gege, I'm here."

"Stop calling him Gege. You should call him Brother-in-law later, or it will be impolite."

Tu Shan You You immediately poured cold water on Qing Lin: "Look, Bai Su is already riding on Xiao Bai's back, clinging to him so tightly."

"Who knows who rides whom in private."

Even though Tu Shan You You's loli voice sounds like a little girl, she knows a lot. She unexpectedly sped onto the highway, her car wheels ruthlessly crushing Qing Lin.

"You always misunderstand Sister and Xiao Gege. There's no way they would do that."

"Tch, you're still being stubborn! Then let me ask you: they are both White Pythons. Whether in their true form or human form, they perfectly fit together without any sense of incongruity."

"One is so handsome after transforming, and the other is so beautiful after transforming. They are a match made in heaven, even more compatible than you are. Can't you see that?"

Qing Lin still insisted on her original viewpoint, her mouth incredibly firm.

"I don't believe they would get together. Sister has always guarded her purity and wouldn't do anything excessive."

"You still want to argue with me? When they come down, we'll immediately see whether they're a mule or a horse."

Xiao Bai landed smoothly and silkily, without any jolts. Tu Shan You You ran over to Bai Su to check.

Her ear pressed against Bai Su's stomach, listening carefully, her cute beast ears twitching non-stop.

"How is this possible? She's not pregnant."

Xiao Bai had long noticed Tu Shan You You's little scheme. He stepped forward, pinched her little cheek, and dragged her aside: "You little rascal, what are you trying to do?"

"Ouch, that hurts! Can't you be gentler?"

Tu Shan You You looked at Bai Su with shifty eyes and asked Xiao Bai: "What's the deal? You didn't do her?"

"No."

"No way! You didn't take such a good opportunity? Are you a eunuch snake?"

Xiao Bai cursed: "Bullshit! Bai Su's situation was special. I really couldn't do anything then."

"Tch, why pretend to be a gentleman? It's not like I haven't seen how desperate you are. Where was that lewdness you had when you were getting with Qing Lin?"

The two whispered together, like good buddies planning where to get a massage that night, occasionally glancing toward Bai Su.

"Sister, are you alright?"

Qing Lin excitedly stepped forward and circled Bai Su, examining her body up and down to see if she had fully recovered.

Bai Su's expression was clearly unnatural, and she was deliberately avoiding Qing Lin's gaze.

"I'm fine. How is the Mermaid Princess?"

"She's doing well. She's swimming in the small river in the village. You You even built an indoor pool just for her."

"Take me to see her."

Bai Su dared even less to look at Tu Shan You You. After only a few simple words with Qing Lin, a blush appeared on her face.

Tu Shan You You pointed at Bai Su's retreating back and sneered: "And you said nothing happened between you two? She doesn't even dare to face Qing Lin."

"Do you want me to help you take down this sister too? Wouldn't it be wonderful to have both sisters serving you?"

Chapter 60: Descendant Feedback, Increasing Cultivation

"Are you trying to teach me how to do things? You sound like you have a lot of experience."

Tu Shan You You chuckled mischievously: "No, no! I just heard it from the clan members."

She then ran off to play with the Mermaid Princess. She had been learning how to swim from Yu Ji every day recently.

Xiao Bai headed toward Tu Shan Mingyi's thatched hut to check on Iris's condition. The children from Pan Si Mountain were waiting for her to return.

"Tu Shan Clan Leader, how is she?"

Iris's true form, the Big Spider, was still lying motionless on the heated brick bed, looking much the same as before.

"She is still like this. The Dragon Qi from that Dragon Pearl is very thin."

"I, this old man, used some Spiritual Qi herbs to help, and I only saw the Spider Queen absorbing it. Currently, the results are not obvious."

"We will only know after some time. We can only take things one step at a time. Her fate is truly fraught with misfortune."

After Tu Shan Mingyi left, Xiao Bai sat alone beside Iris, telling her about the situation in Pan Si Mountain. He mentioned that the descendants were growing up healthy and cultivating diligently.

During the time Iris was absent, under Xiao Dong's leadership, Pan Si Mountain was orderly, and they had united to repel several foreign invasions.

Iris, who had been completely still, twitched her spider legs a few times, seeming to understand what Xiao Bai was saying.

The thatched hut was unusually quiet; the chirping of crickets outside could still be faintly heard.

Suddenly, an information panel appeared in Xiao Bai's mind. The System hadn't contacted him for three months, communicating only through dreams.

[Xiao Bai]

[Snake Age] 888 years

[Cultivation] Level 9 Demon Beast

[Bloodline] Advanced

[True Form Length] 36 meters

[Number of Descendants] 218 (Yao Beasts below Rank 1 are not counted)

[Highest Descendant Rank] Rank 6 Yao Beast (Xiao Dong)

Reaching the Level 9 Demon Beast tier allows one to summon the Primordial Spirit for combat. Iris had previously demonstrated the ultimate skill, True Spider Empress Form.

"What's going on? Why did my Cultivation suddenly increase? And the number of descendants who reached Rank 1 Yao Beast level also increased."

First, Iris was ruled out. This might be due to the descendants born from the female Yao Beasts he had encountered in Black Bull Mountain. Through widespread seeding, some had actually stepped into the path of demon Cultivation—truly a crossing of a single-plank bridge by a thousand troops.

This Cultivation increase was mainly thanks to the descendants in Pan Si Mountain. Xiao Dong, as the eldest brother, proved worthy, being the first to reach Rank 6 Yao Beast.

Under Xiao Dong's leadership, the Cultivation of the other descendants in Pan Si Mountain rapidly Advanced, allowing Xiao Bai's Bloodline to upgrade to Advanced.

Xiao Bai felt immensely comfortable.

"Awesome... It's finally my turn, isn't it? I was exhausted in the early stages."

"Not only can I rely on my wives' generosity, but now I can even rely on my descendants' generosity. The System of expanding the family line is simply too great."

Having tasted the sweetness, Xiao Bai was certainly going to spare no effort to help Iris recover her strength and protect the child in her belly.

If she miscarried, she might never be able to conceive again, which would be an unbearable loss for Xiao Bai.

Among the female Yao Beasts he had encountered so far, Iris's reproductive ability was definitely among the best.

Xiao Bai sat cross-legged on the ground, slowly digesting the sudden surge of energy.

Night was deep. Bai Su kept sitting outside on the stone slab, unwilling to enter the house, but Qing Lin eventually pulled her inside.

"Sister, what is wrong with you? You changed completely after going out. You weren't like this before. We sisters used to have endless things to talk about."

"Whatever you need to say, let's sit down and talk slowly."

Qing Lin had always been outspoken, and if she had something on her mind, she had to say it, or she would be suffocated.

Since Bai Su returned, her brows had been tightly furrowed, always trying to avoid facing Qing Lin. Her body had been seen by Xiao Bai, and she felt very sorry toward her sister.

"Qing'er, let's go back to Dreamscape Mountain."

Qing Lin was shocked: "Sister, why? We are doing great here."

"We can't go back since we've taken human form, have you forgotten?"

"Then let's find a place where no one recognizes us."

Bai Su's breathing was ragged; she wanted to leave tonight.

Qing Lin touched her belly and shook her head: "I'm already pregnant. Tu Shan Village is an excellent place to raise a child, and I want to give birth here."

"This haven of peace is rarely invaded by other Yao Beasts."
