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

Bai Suzhen walked in and happened to hear these two sentences, so she took the initiative to ask:

"My lord, are you worried that the Dragon King of the Tranquil Sea, having not received any news, will come to this area to investigate?"

"If that's the case, we might as well abandon this place and find another place to cultivate in seclusion."

Bai Suzhen spoke softly, worried that Lin Xuan wouldn't listen to her advice.

Actually, if it were just one Dragon King attacking, Bai Suzhen wouldn't be too afraid.

Even if they can't win, they can always escape.

But she knew very well that it was one thing to offend the Jinghai Dragon King, but the East Sea Dragon Palace behind him would definitely not let it go once they got the news.

Even if the Dragon King of the East Sea, mindful of his status, doesn't personally take action, it would be a real problem if he mobilized his troops and launched a large-scale investigation!

She no longer holds the dragon race in high regard, but she still respects their strength.

Lin Xuan smiled and stood up, walking to Bai Suzhen's side.

"My lady, we've only just settled here. How can we move out just because of a mere dragon king?"

Bai Suzhen immediately tensed up and was about to speak to dissuade him, but Lin Xuan interrupted her.

"In any case, we should first go and find out about the situation of the Jinghai Dragon King."

"What if it's just an old dragon who's just coasting along, completely disregarding the orders of the East Sea Dragon Palace, and too lazy to send anyone to find Crab Master? Wouldn't it be incredibly stupid for us to just run away in such a panic?"

Bai Suzhen finally nodded upon hearing this.

"So that's what you think, my husband. I'm relieved."

"However, you have not yet fully refined the dragon energy. Why don't you wait here while I investigate the true nature of the Jinghai Dragon King?"

Bai Suzhen was confident. While in Hangzhou, she explored Jinshan Temple several times and gained a lot of insights.

Moreover, she knew that her husband's strength was actually inferior to her own.

It's safer to handle it personally.

Lin Xuan shook his head inwardly. Bai Suzhen's previous spying on Jinshan Temple had actually been discovered by Fahai long ago.

My wife is not proficient in these things at all, so letting her take the lead would only easily alarm the Dragon King of the Still Sea.

Moreover, Lin Xuan had other plans and was unwilling to let Bai Suzhen do this.

Lin Xuan smiled and said, "I'm very happy that you're willing to help me, but I'm worried about something else."

"What if the Dragon King of the Tranquil Sea is very shrewd? If he senses something is wrong and realizes you are a thousand-year-old demon, he might lead his shrimp soldiers and crab generals to attack. What then?"

"My lady, no matter how powerful you are, even if you can defeat the Dragon King of the Tranquil Sea and his shrimp soldiers and crab generals, the news will still leak out and attract the attention of the East Sea Dragon Palace."

"But on the other hand, if I were to step forward, even if the Jinghai Dragon King discovered me, he would look down on me and would most likely chase after me directly."

"I'll lure it over there, and then you can suddenly appear and catch it off guard."

After Lin Xuan finished speaking at length, Bai Suzhen pondered for a long time before nodding in agreement.

My husband is right, this is indeed the safest way to do it.

At the same time, she couldn't help but recall the lie she had just told.

"My husband is indeed very insightful. What I said to Xiaoqing just now may have truly guessed his thoughts."

Thinking of this, Bai Suzhen sighed, "My husband is so thoughtful!"

"Then I'll go and call Xiaoqing right now, and have her hide with me. If the Jinghai Dragon King really chases us here, then let him never return!"

Lin Xuan clapped his hands lightly, summoned Crab King, and asked it to lead the way to the Dragon Palace of the Jinghai Dragon King.

Crab dared not say anything more and cautiously led the way. At first, he was thinking to himself that his new master was really ignorant of his own limitations.

Instead of trying to escape, they actually dared to go looking for trouble with the Dragon King of Jinghai.

But it soon had another idea.

Lin Xuan's penchant for courting death is actually a good thing for it!

"If I can find a way to inform the Dragon King of Jinghai and have him capture Lin Xuan directly, then my defection to Lin Xuan will not only be without fault, but will actually be meritorious!"

"Once I return to the Dragon Palace of the East Sea, even if I don't become the largest crab, my ranking will improve considerably."

If that's the case...

Crab became excited, and its two huge pincers unconsciously touched together and rubbed against each other, making a rustling sound.

Lin Xuan glanced at the crab and, even without mind-reading abilities, could tell that this crab harbored ill intentions.

However, Lin Xuan was not surprised; on the contrary, he was delighted.

Although he did not know the strength of the Jinghai Dragon King, he had a general understanding of the lesser dragon kings who were dependent on the Four Seas Dragon Kings.

These little dragon kings are at most around level 50, with one or two golden magic treasures and one or two supernatural abilities.

Even if Lin Xuan couldn't defeat them, he could still escape smoothly by using "Riding the Wind".

Even if Crab King had revealed Bai Suzhen's existence beforehand, it would simply mean he couldn't outwit the Dragon King of the Sea, and he could still retreat safely.

Although this would alarm the Dragon King of the East Sea, making it impossible for him to stay there any longer, he could move to the territory of another Dragon King.

Lin Xuan was confident and naturally remained calm, coldly following behind Crab King.

They traveled for hundreds of miles, and finally the surrounding seas changed, with a noticeable increase in the number of fish and shrimp.

You can also see quite a few coral reefs.

Some fish and shrimp gained sentience, climbed onto the coral reef, and upon seeing Crab and Lin Xuan, immediately cried out:

"Who are you? This is the territory of the Jinghai Dragon King! State your names immediately!"

Crab's heart stirred, but its body remained still, with its two eyes peeking out as if they were accessories to its body.

It simply turned its eyes to Lin Xuan and said:

"Master, since you are currently in human form, it's not appropriate for me to introduce your identity. Why don't I go in first to inform them and lure out the Jinghai Dragon King?"

"What do you think of you staying hidden in the shadows, observing its strength, and then making your plans?"

Crab made a big show of it, as if he really was considering Lin Xuan's best interests.

Lin Xuan nodded, deeply moved: "Okay! Okay!"

"Big Crab, I didn't expect you to be so loyal to me so soon after acknowledging me as your master. I have high hopes for you!"

"Don't worry, once I transform into a true dragon, I will definitely promote you! Now, set off."

Crab almost burst out laughing when he heard this.

You think you can transform into a real dragon? That's ridiculous!

It dared not show it, turning its eyes away and saying in a deep voice, "Master, don't worry, I'll be right back!"

After saying that, Crab leaped forward, landing in front of the fish and shrimp, splashing a large amount of water.

The fish and shrimp retreated, adopting a defensive posture, and hid among the coral reefs.

The giant crab brandished one of its pincers and roared, "You bunch of ignorant fools! I am a crab general from the Dragon Palace of the East Sea!"

"I am here on the orders of the Dragon King of the East Sea to deliver a decree to your Dragon King of the Tranquil Sea. How dare you stop me?"

The fish and shrimp were startled by the words and poked their bodies out of the coral reef.

"You're not lying to us, are you?"

Crab was both anxious and angry, and his speech quickened considerably:

"We all live in the sea, who would dare impersonate a subordinate of the East Sea Dragon Palace? You'd better take me to see your Dragon King right now!"

The fish and shrimp thought about it for a while, and finally believed it, changing their expressions.

"So you're an official from the Dragon Palace. We were blind to your greatness and delayed your business. Please come with us; my Dragon King is over there."

Another large shrimp stared at Lin Xuan and asked cautiously:

"Lord Crab General, what is the origin of that human in the sky? Could he be a deity from heaven?"

Crab, of course, dared not reveal Lin Xuan's identity, and besides, it wasn't clever enough to come up with a lie immediately, so it said:

"Who cares who he is? Take me to see the Dragon King right now!"

The fish and shrimp dared not ask any more questions and silently led the way.

Crab followed them, glancing back every now and then, worried that Lin Xuan might suddenly leave.

Fortunately, Lin Xuan did not move and patiently waited in place.

Seeing this, Crab was even happier. This dragon was indeed a fool; it actually believed my words!

It urged the fish and shrimp to speed up, and they traveled several more miles before seeing a large island in the distance.

Unlike Lin Xuan's Dragon Island, the spiritual energy here is extremely rich, and there is a human city in the center of the island, bustling with activity.

You can still vaguely see a few cultivators moving around in the city.

Before Crab could ask, a prawn spoke up:

"So that the crab general may know that my Dragon King's palace is located beneath that island."

"It is a kind-hearted old man who likes to be close to humans, so he specially moved many people from Dongsheng Shenzhou to live here."

"It usually brings rain and clouds and takes care of these people, so they worship and worship it."

Crab King immediately realized that this Jinghai Dragon King didn't actually like being close to humans; he just wanted to gain more offerings.

Although this place is not remote, it is too far from the coast.

The title of Jinghai Dragon King is almost impossible for humans to know, and therefore he is unlikely to receive any offerings.

Crab became even more excited upon thinking about this.

It seems that the Dragon King of Jinghai is no pushover either. Once he heard that the dragon was nearby, he definitely wouldn't let it go easily.

It's all thanks to me, I'm all set!

Crab rushed to the sea below the island, almost ignoring the luxurious underwater palace, and single-mindedly tried to break in.

Several crab generals were also at the palace gate. Seeing that Crab King was so rude, they all came over to stop him.

The crab collided with them, making a huge commotion.

The fish and shrimp panicked and stood frozen in place, unsure of what to do.

Fortunately, after a few breaths, the Dragon King of the Still Sea noticed something was wrong and emerged from his palace.

Although it is called an old man by fish and shrimp, it has only cultivated for a few thousand years and is just a junior among dragons.

Its scales shimmered with a metallic sheen, inspiring awe in those who beheld them.

Jinghai Dragon King shook his head, staring at Crab Da, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

"That crab general outside, I feel like I've seen you somewhere before. You're from the Dragon Palace of the East Sea, aren't you?"

The moment the Dragon King spoke, his subordinates were immediately astonished.

What? The crab that suddenly attacked was actually a general from the Dragon Palace of the East Sea?

Although both are crab generals and subordinates of the Dragon King, the Dragon King of the East Sea is clearly much more powerful than the Dragon King of the Tranquil Sea.

The status of the Great Crab is far superior to that of his own crab generals.

The crabs dared not cause any more trouble, and they all stopped and hid to the side.

Crab was even happier, and disregarding all formalities, he rushed to the side of the Dragon King of the Still Sea and shouted:

"Your Highness, the credit has arrived! A truly monumental achievement!"
