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

Upon hearing Lin Xuan's words, the crab immediately shook its head.

"Master, you must have misheard. The Heavenly Court wants to capture a black dragon, not... um?"

Thinking of something, it suddenly raised its eyes and stared at Lin Xuan for a long time. Recalling the dragon's might it had just felt, its heart pounded.

Could the master I just recognized be that black dragon?

"No way, why am I so unlucky? The East Sea is so vast, and I actually ran into this guy!"

The crab quickly withdrew its eyes, not daring to look any longer, for fear of angering Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan saw its actions, shook his head and chuckled, not taking it to heart.

Anyway, he never intended to hide it from this big crab.

At this moment, Bai Suzhen walked over slowly, her brows furrowed, and said to Lin Xuan:

"My lord, I never expected the Dragon King of the East Sea to be so... so spineless. The Heavenly Court merely issued an order, and they have already launched such a massive attack."

As she spoke, Bai Suzhen's tone became somber.

Although she had long known that the Dragon Clan had submitted to the Heavenly Court, she couldn't help but harbor illusions. The Dragon Clan was so powerful that it had even been the protagonist of heaven and earth in ancient times.

The current submission may just be a facade.

However, it now appears that things are not so simple; the dragons are practically the lackeys of the Heavenly Court.

Bai Suzhen was feeling down, and sighed in her heart:

"If that's the case, then what are we snakes? Even if we truly transform into dragons, we'll only be watchdogs for the Heavenly Court!"

Lin Xuan saw through Bai Suzhen's thoughts, pulled her into his arms, and gently comforted her.

"My wife, don't overthink it. Although the dragons may lack backbone, your husband is not willing to be a dog for the Heavenly Court."

"Just you wait. When I become a true dragon, things will be different."

Bai Suzhen instinctively wanted to shake her head. Even if Lin Xuanzhen transformed into a real dragon, there was still an extremely large gap between him and a powerful figure like the Four Seas Dragon King.

How could they possibly go against the Heavenly Court again?

But then she thought about it again and remembered what had happened in Hangzhou, and she hesitated again.

Perhaps my husband truly can turn the impossible into the possible?

After thinking for a long time, she nodded gently: "Then I'll wait."

Although Lin Xuan was talking to Bai Suzhen, he did not deliberately avoid other people.

Both Xiaoqing and the crab heard these words.

Xiaoqing didn't actually believe Lin Xuan had such abilities, but she didn't say anything to mock him.

She had learned her lesson from Lin Xuan's many mistakes.

The crab, however, was unaware of Lin Xuan's power and muttered under its breath:

"This guy is insane..."

Hearing its words, Lin Xuan turned his head and asked softly, "What did you say?"

The crab was startled and waved its claws wildly.

"Master, you must have misheard me. I didn't say anything!"

Lin Xuan didn't bother arguing with it, nodded slightly, and stared at the name above the crab's head.

【Crab 367】

"This must be its ranking in the Dragon Palace? That makes sense; I remember in the game, the names of the mass-generated elite monsters all had a similar structure."

Lin Xuan suddenly spoke up: "Crab, your name is too long and hard to remember. How about I change your name?"

The crab scoffed, "Where is my name that long?"

In the entire East Sea Dragon Palace, with thousands of crab generals and hundreds of thousands of shrimp soldiers, I can rank over three hundredth—that's an honor! Other crabs are green with envy!

But the crab, being under the eaves, had no choice but to bow its head.

It crouched low, forcing a smile as it twitched its lips: "I will obey your orders, Master."

Lin Xuan pondered for a long time, remaining silent for quite some time, as if he were devising a very impressive title.

Even the crabs were curious: what name is this dragon going to give me?

After several breaths, Lin Xuan finally spoke.

"Ahem, since you're my first subordinate, and a crab at that, how about you be called Crab Boss?"

The crab was speechless, staring blankly at Lin Xuan.

No way, you thought about it for so long and this is the name you came up with? Are you kidding me?

Lin Xuan frowned and said, "What? You don't like this name?"

The crab awoke with a start, shaking its body hastily: "Master, you've chosen such a wonderful name!"

"From now on, I'll be called Crab King!"

Lin Xuan chuckled and shook his head, shutting down the system and saying to Crab Master:

"I'm glad you like the name."

"Come with me, I have something to ask you."

After saying this, Lin Xuan left with his hands behind his back, heading towards the cave beneath Dragon Island.

Crab Da dared not delay and hurriedly followed.

After they had gone far away, Xiaoqing ran to Bai Suzhen's side.

"Sister, the name my brother-in-law just came up with was really weird."

In fact, Bai Suzhen thought so too, but in order to protect Lin Xuan, she shook her head and said:

"Xiaoqing, you just don't understand!"

"What do I not understand? Does my brother-in-law have some deeper meaning behind what he's doing?" Xiaoqing retorted.

Bai Suzhen, of course, didn't know what Lin Xuan meant, but she couldn't take back her words, so she braced herself and said:

"Of course there's a deeper meaning to this! You... think about it carefully, that Crab King was forced to acknowledge your brother-in-law as his master, he must be resentful."

"Your brother-in-law renamed it so that it would know that once her husband takes on other subordinates, it can transform itself into the leader of these people."

Bai Suzhen initially just made things up on the spot, but as she talked, she began to doubt herself.

"My husband wouldn't really think that way, would he? I remember him as a man of great literary talent, eloquent and eloquent; he shouldn't have chosen a name so casually."

Or was this his true intention?

Xiaoqing didn't realize that Bai Suzhen was talking nonsense, and actually believed her.

"Oh, I see. It seems you understand your brother-in-law best, sister."

Bai Suzhen could no longer change her words at this point, so she could only say:

"Of course!"

"Sister, I'm worried that besides Crab King, other shrimp soldiers and crabs from the Dragon Palace might pass by here. Be careful and patrol the surroundings."

"I'll go talk to my husband about it. If it really doesn't work out, we should move to another place. I'm afraid it's not safe here!"

Xiaoqing naturally wouldn't object, nodding in acceptance. She transformed back into a green snake, circling in the air, her gaze sharp as lightning as she surveyed her surroundings.

Seeing this, Bai Suzhen felt relieved and turned to walk into the cave below Dragon Island.

Because Lin Xuan has been cultivating here, the spiritual energy here is even thinner.

It disappears immediately upon the slightest influx of spiritual energy.

This situation is almost comparable to some Jedi situations.

After Bai Suzhen entered, she couldn't help but take a deep breath and control the demonic power within her body.

She continued walking, taking several hundred more steps, and finally saw Lin Xuan and Xie Da's figures.

Lin Xuan sat in a chair, tilting his head to look at the crab in front of him.

"So, this so-called Jinghai Dragon King isn't actually that strong?"

Crab said:

"Master, among all the Dragon Kings of the East Sea, the Serene Sea Dragon King is indeed not that powerful, but compared to you..."

It dared not speak too plainly, but anyone who wasn't a fool could understand the underlying meaning.

Lin Xuan was merely a dragon. Although he was said to have obtained a wisp of dragon energy, it seemed that he had not yet fully refined it.

Then how could you possibly be a match for the Dragon King?
