Reborn as a Snake: Forging a Demon Court Starting from a Black Python

Lin Xuan made a huge commotion.

This alarmed not only Fahai, but also Bai Suzhen.

Lin Xuan turned around to look at Bai Suzhen and asked in return:

"Sister, are you afraid of Jinshan Temple?"

Bai Suzhen shook her head, hesitating to speak, but Xiaoqing took the initiative to speak.

"Hmph, you black snake are really ignorant. With my sister's cultivation level, how could she be afraid of those bald monks? She's just worried about disturbing the monks inside and causing unforeseen complications."

As she spoke, Xiaoqing became smug again, looking up and saying, "Little black snake, let me test you. Do you know that there's a great opportunity hidden in Jinshan Temple?"

Lin Xuan rolled his eyes: "Of course I know that."

Xiaoqing didn't believe it, and shook her head with a pout.

Seeing this, Lin Xuan said, "Isn't it just the Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon True Scripture and the Purple Gold Bowl?"

Xiaoqing was taken aback when she heard this.

How did you know?

"Of course it was Bai Suzhen who told me!" Lin Xuan ignored Xiaoqing and looked at Bai Suzhen again.

"Sister, what are you worried about?"

Bai Suzhen pondered for a long time before finally speaking.

"Xuan'er, you don't know this, although I am plotting to acquire the treasures in Jinshan Temple, I always feel that something is wrong. It's as if Jinshan Temple is at odds with me."

Lin Xuan glanced at Bai Suzhen in surprise, not expecting her to say such a thing.

Whether in the original Legend of the White Snake or in the Civilization game setting, Bai Suzhen seems to have lost her intelligence and turns a blind eye to the threat posed by Jinshan Temple.

In the story, ever since she eloped with her benefactor from her past life, she truly believed that she could continue to live happily ever after, keeping the deception a secret forever.

They did not intend to take Xu Xian away from Hangzhou, but instead seek to live in another city without powerful cultivators.

They were practically waiting for a flaw to be exposed, and then the monk Fahai would come looking for trouble.

Although the Jinshan Temple instance in the game is slightly different, Bai Suzhen also treats Jinshan Temple as a wild monster, thinking that she is the only one who can plot against Fahai, never expecting that Fahai could turn the tables on her.

In the end, they suffered a huge loss; if no players had intervened, it would have been a complete disaster.

But things are different now; Bai Suzhen had sensed Fahai's threat much earlier.

Lin Xuan's heart stirred.

"It seems this world isn't entirely the same as the game."

But he had a premonition of this and had even made preparations in advance, such as fabricating his background, so he was not too nervous.

"Sister, your feeling is indeed reasonable! Actually, I also noticed that something was wrong with Jinshan Temple. There is a monk named Fahai in the temple who has been in seclusion and cultivating diligently, and his cultivation is getting stronger day by day."

"I was worried that if he succeeded in his cultivation, he would become an obstacle on our path to becoming dragons, so I made this commotion to lure him out ahead of time."

Lin Xuan spoke slowly and gently, and Bai Suzhen's mood calmed down as well.

"Xuan'er, you've considered things so deeply. It seems I misunderstood you earlier."

Bai Suzhen smiled and nodded easily, but then seemed a little embarrassed as if she had just remembered something.

In Bai Suzhen's view, Lin Xuan had only been in Hangzhou for a short time when he noticed something was wrong with the monk Fahai.

It's really hard to believe that I haven't noticed this point after being in Hangzhou for so long.

"These past few days I've been so focused on being with my husband that I almost forgot about important matters. I truly feel ashamed before my younger brother, Xuan'er."

Thinking of this, Bai Suzhen was about to say goodbye to Lin Xuan, but before leaving, she remembered something, stood there, and said to Xiaoqing:

"Xiaoqing, now that we've met Xuan'er today, that's perfect, let's talk about that matter."

Xiaoqing was very confused. "Sister, what are you saying? What could Lin Xuan and I possibly have something going on?"

Seeing Xiaoqing like this, Bai Suzhen assumed it was an act and sighed:

"Xiaoqing, what are you pretending for? I already know that you're planning to use the money Xuan'er gave you to cause trouble."

"Now, in front of Xuan'er, you have to promise me that you will never use this matter to make things difficult for Xuan'er again."

Xiaoqing realized what was happening, her expression a mix of emotions, and she was extremely embarrassed.

Bai Suzhen's words do make some sense; I did have that idea at first.

But she had already checked, and she didn't know where the gold and silver Lin Xuan gave her came from; in any case, it had nothing to do with their snake clan.

Xiaoqing, however, couldn't bring herself to reveal the truth. She hesitated, then after a long pause, said, "Sister, can we not talk about this anymore?"

Bai Suzhen assumed that Xiaoqing was unwilling to let Lin Xuan go and insisted on holding onto this weakness, so she said seriously:

"No, I'm going to talk about this!"

Seeing this, Lin Xuan suddenly laughed and stretched out a paw, waving it slowly.

"Sister, don't pressure Xiaoqing anymore. I don't think this is a big deal."

"Whether she agrees to you now or not, she probably won't bring it up again in the future."

"Little Qing, tell me, am I right or wrong?"

Although Lin Xuan was trying to excuse himself, Xiao Qing was still so angry that she gritted her teeth.

Who are you calling "Little Qing Sister"? This grandma is hundreds of years older than you, okay?

You have to call me sister!

She simply couldn't refute it, so she could only say something random:

"Yes, I understand. You're right."

Lin Xuan laughed heartily.

"Sister, you see, Little Qing knows what's important, she's just shy and unwilling to admit it."

Bai Suzhen pondered for a moment, then nodded.

Since Xiaoqing has said so, then this matter should really be over.

Bai Suzhen smiled.

"That's good! The three of us siblings must work together to seize the opportunity at Jinshan Temple."

As she spoke, she sighed again and looked up towards the east.

At this time, the sky gradually darkened, the red sun slanted westward, and the moon rose, hanging in the east.

Bai Suzhen said, "Our snake clan is inherently deficient. Even if we cultivate to the limit, there will still be shortcomings, making it difficult to become an immortal."

"But if we can absorb the dragon's energy, that would be a crucial step forward."

"Not only will my cultivation speed increase exponentially in the future, but I will also obtain the key to becoming an immortal."

"To become an immortal!"

Bai Suzhen was already stunningly beautiful and possessed an unparalleled temperament. Her words, filled with longing, made Lin Xuan somewhat unable to resist.

I almost went over and hugged Bai Suzhen.

Fortunately, he realized what was happening and managed to hold it in.

"No, I haven't changed into human skin yet, I can't go."

After a long while, Bai Suzhen composed herself, bid farewell to Lin Xuan, and returned to the Lin residence with Xiaoqing.

After they left, Lin Xuan didn't dare to delay. He quickly transformed into human form and hurried home.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Bai Suzhen waiting for him.

"Husband, why are you home so late?"

Lin Xuan had already come up with a solution, and shook his head with a sigh: "Sigh, isn't it all because of that dragon? After I finished packing my things at the restaurant, I was going home."

"But on the way I heard that a dragon was appearing in the Qiantang River, so I went to see what was going on. Unfortunately, it was a wasted trip, and I didn't see anything."

Upon hearing Lin Xuan's words, Bai Suzhen quickly moved closer and inquired about his well-being.

"My dear husband, you're so careless! It's not even summer yet, and the wind is strong and the weather is cold by the river. It's one thing for you to go and watch the fun, but what if you catch a cold?"

"Come in with me, I'll make you a bowl of hot soup."

Xiaoqing, who witnessed this scene, was so angry she was speechless and stomped her foot hard.

On our way back just now, you said you wanted to tell your brother-in-law that you wanted to find a chance to separate from him for a while before dealing with the monks at Jinshan Temple.

How come you forgot all of this as soon as you saw your brother-in-law?

Xiaoqing retreated outside with a dark face, glanced at Lin Xuan, and then remembered the black dragon she had seen by the river earlier. Finally, she couldn't help but say:

"Hmph, there's not a single good person named Lin Xuan in this world!"
