Chapter 64 Nie Ping
"Dear passengers, ticket inspection has begun for train K1074 from Tanzhou City to Qizhou City. Please pack your carry-on luggage and take good care of your elves and children."

Qin Zhen took his ticket and ID card back from the ticket inspector, walked into the carriage with Xiao Snake, and began to look for his berth.

I have to say that Jinguan Academy of Sciences is really amazing. They were able to get him a soft sleeper ticket at a lower berth when tickets were at their most popular.

Qin Zhen opened the door and found that there was already a passenger in the soft sleeper compartment. He was a thin old man wearing a loose white shirt and dark trousers, with gray hair. When Qin Zhen walked in, he was sitting in the lower bunk slowly making tea. When their eyes met, the old man nodded and smiled, and the smile was quite kind.

Qin Zhen nodded slightly in return and sat down on the bed opposite the old man.

At this time, the train started and the scenery outside the window slowly receded. Vine Snake jumped down from Qin Zhen's shoulder. She stretched out her vine whip to close the door, then looked around the soft sleeper compartment, especially focusing on the old man on the opposite bed, and finally slowly sat down next to Qin Zhen.

Qin Zhen found her acting like a bodyguard amusing and couldn't help teasing the little snake, saying, "Teng Teng Snake, don't you want to go look at the window? The last time we took a plane from Wuyang City to Jinguan City, you leaned against the window and watched the clouds for a long time."

"Because I've seen what's out there." The vine snake slid down like a boneless creature, resting her chin on Qin Zhen's lap and slightly closing her blue eyes. "I rode a cart like this to Qin Zhen's city, along with my fellow tribesmen. Thinking about it now, it feels like a dream."

"You came to Tanzhou City by train to attend the exchange week?" Qin Zhen asked curiously, "What about you before that? Did you live with your parents?"

"Ah."

"Don't you miss your mom and dad?"

"I have Qin Zhen, that's enough."

"Teng Teng Snake, do you still remember where your family lived before?"

"I don't know. I just remember it was in a canyon. Besides me, my people, my parents, and my parents' people, there was also a large group of Biting and Violent Turtles."

"The canyon where the Monarch Snake and the Vicious Turtle live is not easy to find with just this little information." Qin Zhen scratched his head helplessly. "I also want to find time to visit your parents, Vine Snake."

Because he was a little disappointed, he couldn't help but say this.

"If nothing unexpected happens, the canyon you're talking about should be in Mangshan." At this time, someone on the other side interrupted and said, "That's the largest breeding base for vine snakes in the country. The monarch snakes are very respected there. The locals call them 'little blue dragons.'"

Qin Zhen was stunned, turned around and saw a gentle smiling face.

The old man handed over a paper cup filled with amber tea.

Qin Zhen reached out to take the paper cup and was about to say thank you when he heard the old man say, "Besides, I don't think your vine snake would agree to you visiting its parents."

As soon as the old man finished speaking, the little snake's cry immediately exploded in Qin Zhen's mind, and his reaction was extremely violent.

"No! You're not allowed to go!"

"Ivy Snake? Why?"

"Because I'm the only Monarch Snake who will stay by Qin Zhen's side in the future!"

Qin Zhen was silent for two seconds, then turned to look at the old man. "Old man, can you hear my conversation with my spirit?"

"I'm not a psychic," the old man shook his head. "I just know the vine snakes very well."

"Monarch Snakes, Green Vine Snakes, and Vine Vine Snakes have very high standards, and their possessiveness is also inherited from their lineage." The old man took a sip of tea and said slowly, "They are hostile to any creature that may hinder them and their trainers, even their parents and relatives."

"Old man, it's not that exaggerated, right? In addition to the Vine Snake, I have also cultivated other elves, but the Vine Snake has never shown any hostility towards them." Qin Zhen took a sip of tea and frowned, suspecting that the old man was exaggerating.

"That's because your vine snake doesn't think those elves pose a threat to its position, so it doesn't mind displaying its 'monarch's magnanimity.' If an elf truly steals your attention appears, then you'll see what 'Giant Snake Fang' means."

"About eight years ago, Ernst Lehmann, the former Grass-type King of the White Eagle Alliance, adopted a serpent with a child. Four years later, the child evolved into a Serpent, becoming incredibly powerful. King Lehmann came up with the idea of ​​a 'father-son team' and added the Serpent duo to his tag team."

"But even Lehman himself didn't expect that after their appearance, his Monarch Snake father and son not only failed to show tacit understanding, but instead raised their leaf blades and slashed at each other without hesitation. The reason was that they both felt that the other had stolen the trainer's love for them."

"Old man, what happened next? Who did the White Eagle King choose in the end? The snake father or the snake son?"

"Lehmann didn't choose."

"No choice? Just let his elf father and son be filial?"

"No, we didn't have time to choose," the old man shook his head. "Just three days after that farcical doubles match, the Ice God Kyurem awakened in Antarctica. Lyman was among the first group of Celestial Kings to arrive in Antarctica to provide support. He was targeted by Kyurem's freezing aura. To give the trainer a chance of survival, his Serpents made their first and last unanimous decision. They coiled themselves around Lyman and then meditated with all their might..."

Qin Zhen couldn't help but be stunned. He was not only surprised at the self-sacrifice of the two monarch snakes, but also surprised that the old man opposite him actually said the name "Ekyurem". Logically speaking, the real name of the God of Ice should only be circulated among professional trainers.

"I'm sorry, I said something scary when I wasn't paying attention." The old man looked at Qin Zhen's stunned face and smiled awkwardly. He picked up the teapot and refilled Qin Zhen's tea. "Actually, I just want to say, Qin Zhen, the Vine Snake may cause you trouble, helplessness, embarrassment, or even pain in the future, but please be more tolerant and caring towards it, because it is definitely the spirit that loves you the most in this world."

This sentence has the flavor of a father-in-law saying to his son-in-law, "My daughter is naughty, please bear with me."

Qin Zhen finally realized at this time why Jinguan Academy of Sciences suddenly mailed him a train ticket, and why at such a time when tickets were hard to come by, there were only two passengers in this soft sleeper compartment, himself and the old man.

There's something wrong with the identity of this old man in front of me!

"Old man, do you know my name? You're not a passenger? Did you come here specifically to see me?"

"Yes." The old man extended his hand. "Ever since I received the report from Jinguan City, I've been wanting to meet you, our little Bud Crown King."

"Hello Hello."

Qin Zhen hurriedly held the old man's hand.

And in the next second, the words that came out of the old man's mouth made Qin Zhen suddenly stunned, and he felt a buzzing in his head.

"I'm Nie Ping, the Water/Fire/Grass King of the Donghuang Alliance."
