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

"Phew, finally killed that damned Taoist priest!"

"What was that damned Taoist priest's name again? I completely forgot to ask."

"Whatever, who cares what his name is, he's already dead!"

Since his transmigration, Yun Hezi has posed the greatest threat to him, and could even be considered the first enemy to injure him.

Lin Xuan couldn't help but feel a little smug.

But that was the end of it. Lin Xuan quickly composed himself and searched Yun Hezi's storage bag and sword.

Then, not daring to linger, they hurriedly ran away.

Although only Yun Hezi was chasing after him, he couldn't be sure if Yun Hezi had any reinforcements behind him.

If he lingers here too long, then it will be Lin Xuan's turn to be in trouble!

Lin Xuan withdrew his Wind Control ability.

The next moment, his body lost its support and crashed into the river from the air, creating a huge wave, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Even then, the mortals in the distance were still in a daze, completely bewildered.

What did we just see? A dragon strangled a Taoist priest to death?

This time, Lin Xuan learned his lesson. Although he didn't know how Yun Hezi had found him, he didn't dare to linger on the road any longer.

After falling back into the river, he kept his head down and continued on his way until he entered Hangzhou territory and saw the city of Hangzhou in the distance, at which point he finally relaxed.

Bai Suzhen is in Hangzhou, and he even has a past relationship with her.

Even if some ignorant Taoist priests come after him, he can ask Bai Suzhen for help.

Lin Xuan knew very well that this world was vast, and powerful beings were everywhere.

Not to mention the lofty Heavenly Court, even those famous mountains and rivers are full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, concealing countless powerful figures.

Lin Xuan himself knew many dungeons, each containing many powerful bosses.

However, Lin Xuan knew even better that in the Jinshan Temple instance, Bai Suzhen was a top-tier fighter, and only Fahai in the later stages could rival her.

At this time, Bai Suzhen in Hangzhou was invincible.

As long as you stay near Hangzhou, you can do whatever you want.

As long as he doesn't mess things up and cause major changes to this instance, there's absolutely nothing to worry about.

Moreover, that Prefect Liu was, in the end, just an ordinary person. Even if he held an official position, he couldn't possibly have a powerful background, otherwise he wouldn't have harbored bandits and caused trouble.

Thinking of this, Lin Xuan slowed down.

Lin Xuan arrived at the dock, found a spot in deep water, and began to sort through his spoils.

There were many spirits near the dock, and when they saw Lin Xuan, they instinctively came over to drive them away.

But once they saw Lin Xuan's body clearly, they scattered like birds and beasts.

Although they have not yet fully awakened their minds, they can still distinguish between the king and the queen.

Lin Xuan's strength is beyond their reach.

Lin Xuan opened the storage bag and happily stretched out his paws to rummage through it.

In Lin Xuan's opinion, Yun Hezi was a level 30 cultivator no matter what, so he should have some good stuff.

But he was soon disappointed.

The storage bag contained only a few bottles of ordinary pills, which, after being appraised by the system, barely met the threshold of spiritual pills.

It's not a good thing at all.

As for that sword, it was just a low-grade Xuan-level trash. Yun Hezi's wealth was even less than that of the band of water bandits.

Although the bandits were not of high rank, they had robbed and looted many treasures over the years.

Many of them were offered as tribute to Prefect Liu, but the remaining amount was still considerable.

"That damned Taoist priest is really a penniless wretch."

Lin Xuan frowned, but quickly relaxed.

Those who cultivate themselves value wealth, companions, methods, and a suitable place. Since this cultivator is living under someone else's roof and becoming a retainer for Prefect Liu, he probably doesn't have any special background.

Given this, it's impossible for them to be wealthy.

"Never mind, these are just minor details."

"The most urgent matter is still getting involved in the Jinshan Temple instance; that's the real priority!"

Lin Xuan took a deep breath, looked up at the sky, and waited until night fell and the city lights came on before emerging from the river, releasing a wisp of his aura.

Outside Hangzhou, a stunningly beautiful woman dressed in white suddenly frowned, turned her head to look at the dock, and smiled a moment later.

"Xuan'er actually arrived so early."

Beside the woman in white, a small blue snake darted around, its eyes darting about, and teased, "Hehe, Miss, you're so close to that black snake, you wouldn't happen to have taken a liking to him, would you?"

"If that weren't the case, why did you summon him to Hangzhou and ask him to join you in seizing that opportunity?"

"His meager skills are simply not enough to get involved."

The woman in white looked displeased.

"Xiaoqing, what nonsense are you talking about? Xuan'er and I only have a brother-sister relationship, there is nothing else between us."

"Besides, I still have a debt of gratitude to repay; how could I have the leisure to think about such things?"

"I called Xuan'er here simply to have another helper. Although Xuan'er's cultivation is only average, he is very intelligent. He will definitely be of great help in dealing with that bald monk Fahai."

It turns out that the woman in white was Bai Suzhen, and the green snake was Xiaoqing.

As they talked, Bai Suzhen looked displeased, and Xiaoqing quickly raised her hands in surrender.

"Miss, please don't be angry. I was just joking."

"Now that Lin Xuan is here, let's hurry up and go see him."

Bai Suzhen nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

"That's right. Xuan'er has come all the way to Hangzhou, and he must have encountered many dangers along the way. I really should go and pick him up."

With that, Bai Suzhen turned and left. Without any apparent effort, she appeared several feet away.

A level 45 demon is indeed extraordinary.

Her every move didn't resemble that of a snake demon; rather, she possessed the demeanor of a celestial being.

Seeing this, Xiaoqing hurriedly chased after it. Her cultivation level was not that high, so she was at a lower level and floated in mid-air to catch up.

The two women, one in front of the other, arrived at the dock in no time.

Before Bai Suzhen could speak, Xiaoqing frowned and looked around, asking in confusion:

"Hey, where's that black snake? It lured us here, so why isn't it showing itself?"

Before she could finish speaking, Lin Xuan emerged from the water, smiling, and said:

"Xiaoqing, you're making me sad."

Xiaoqing hurriedly turned around, and upon seeing Lin Xuan, she was immediately surprised and exclaimed:

"You're Lin Xuan? You... how did you end up like this?"

Not only Xiaoqing, but even Bai Suzhen frowned and asked hesitantly:

"Xuan'er, why have you transformed into a dragon?"

Lin Xuan knew very well that his changes were nothing in the eyes of the players.

Anyone who plays games, especially hardcore gamers, spends all their time figuring out how to exploit bugs, so they're not too surprised by anything that happens.

But Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing are different; their knowledge is limited, so they are naturally unable to evolve on their own.

In Bai Suzhen's eyes, she was originally just an ordinary black snake, but suddenly she turned into a dragon, so she must be surprised.

Lin Xuan didn't explain in detail, but simply said, "Sister, I had a strange encounter on the road, which allowed me to transform into the form of a dragon."

"But don't overestimate me, I'm just all talk and no action."

Lin Xuan's words were not entirely modesty. His current Blackwater Poisonous Flood Dragon was indeed still a "pseudo" one, not a true flood dragon.

Bai Suzhen stared at Lin Xuan, looking him up and down, and realized this, but she was still very surprised and kept shaking her head.

Even so, this is still remarkable!

"I have cultivated for over a thousand years and have never heard of such a thing."

Although Bai Suzhen was surprised, she was not jealous at all, nor did she feel any greed. Instead, she was happy for Lin Xuan.

She smiled and said, "It's all good this way. Xuan'er, with such an extraordinary encounter, your future will surely be bright."

"I imagine that after cultivating for several hundred more years, I will be able to transform into human form, and I will no longer need to worry about you."

As she was talking, Bai Suzhen suddenly turned around and looked at Xiaoqing.

"Xiaoqing, I told you long ago that Xuan'er could help me. See, I wasn't wrong, was I?"

Xiaoqing blinked a few times but didn't reply.

Lin Xuan listened from the side, somewhat noncommittal, and shook his head inwardly.

Hundreds of years? You really underestimate me!

In the world of immortals and heroes, human form is the only answer, the ultimate form of cultivation.

Therefore, for a demon, transforming into human form is considered defying the heavens. It requires not only extremely high cultivation but also going through hardships, and it is by no means that simple.

However, Lin Xuan was using a player template, so as long as he learned the transformation technique, he could immediately transform into human form.

However, Lin Xuan did not reveal this, but simply smiled and said:

"Several hundred years? That's quite a long time."

Before Bai Suzhen could say anything upon hearing this, Xiaoqing felt jealous.

"What's a few hundred years? My young lady has cultivated for a thousand years and only recently took human form! You're really getting the better end of the deal and then complaining!"

As she spoke, Xiaoqing became even more aggressive and gesticulating.

Lin Xuan saw through Xiao Qing's thoughts at a glance; this green snake had always looked down on him.

This time, when she appeared, she had taken the form of a dragon, which naturally displeased Xiaoqing.

Lin Xuan wasn't angry; there was no point in arguing with this green snake.

Seeing that Lin Xuan ignored her, Xiao Qing became even more displeased and angrily climbed to the side.

Bai Suzhen found it somewhat amusing. Xiaoqing was usually clever and quick-witted, but she never expected to be outmaneuvered by Xuan'er today.

She smiled and came to Lin Xuan's side, saying to him:

"Xuan'er, now that you've come to Hangzhou, you should rest for a while. After I settle my score with my benefactor, we'll go and plot against Fahai's treasure."

"Don't worry, now that you're in Hangzhou, I'll take care of you."

As she spoke, Bai Suzhen held her head high and puffed out her chest, truly like a big sister.

Lin Xuan was slightly moved, but shook his head.

"Sister, there's no need for that. How could I accept your protection for nothing?"

"By the way, I heard that when my sister left the snake clan this time, she took a lot of treasures with her. You're going to find that so-called benefactor from your past life to repay a debt of gratitude, so taking all these treasures with you is just too much trouble."

"Why don't you just leave it with me and let me keep it for you?"

Lin Xuan spoke calmly, but could not hide his excitement.

If he could obtain the treasure in Bai Suzhen's hands, it would be like upgrading from a ragtag gun to a cannon.

Before Bai Suzhen could reply, Xiaoqing jumped out instead.

"Lin Xuan, what are you saying? Why should I hand over the treasure that Miss brought out to you?"

"Even if it's inconvenient for Miss to carry it with her, you can give it to me!"
