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

When the scout left, he didn't take Lin Xuan's words to heart. He went back, picked up a pen and ink, wrote a report, and handed it to his superior.

However, after reading it, the superior showed a thoughtful expression in his eyes.

"God willing?"

This superior had also practiced Taoist arts and recited scriptures, and whenever he saw these two characters, he always felt something was wrong.

"Could it be that this Doctor Lin is actually a powerful expert with profound knowledge, and has sensed something?"

"Was he saying that on purpose?"

After a moment's hesitation, the superior made up his mind to copy the report.

He inscribed it onto a jade slip and then used his magic to activate the array on the jade slip.

In the blink of an eye, the jade slip shrank dozens of times, becoming the size of a toothpick.

The superior tied it to the pigeon's leg and then released the pigeon.

He watched the pigeons fly towards Xiqi before nodding slightly, relieved.

Anyway, he had already sent the message back to Xiqi. As for who that Doctor Lin was, the higher-ups would take care of it.

Even if Lin Xuan causes something huge in the future, it will have nothing to do with him.

The superiors are seasoned veterans; they know exactly how to shirk their responsibilities.

For the next few days, Chentang Pass remained calm.

Occasionally, Nezha would cause trouble, but the damage was not significant, and the local people were used to it and didn't take it to heart.

As time went by, more people came to Lin Xuan for medical treatment, but the initial respect was no longer present in their words.

They viewed Lin Xuan as a bad person.

Lin Xuan didn't bother to explain; he treated patients whenever they came to him for treatment.

After a while, I even received a notification.

[Ding! Your medical skills have improved!]

[Medical Skills (Beginner): Can treat minor illnesses. Encountering NPCs with the same skill will increase your favorability with them.]

Medical skills are life skills and cannot be used in combat.

It's impossible to use it to restore health if you lose health during combat.

Lin Xuan didn't pay much attention to this new skill and continued to stay behind the stall.

Another ten days or so passed, and then a strange thing happened.

Just as Lin Xuan had predicted, Nezha got tired of playing in Chen Tang Pass and wanted to go out of the city for sightseeing.

The servants tried to dissuade him, saying, "Young master, please don't do anything reckless, you..."

Nezha pushed them aside and said:

"Who said I was going to act recklessly? I'm just going out for a stroll!"

"I heard the beach is very lively lately, and the weather is so hot, so I'm going to go play in the water."

The servants naturally refused to move aside and grabbed Nezha's hand, trying to persuade him.

Nezha, too lazy to say anything more, had a golden light flash across his body.

The servants felt a tremendous force that threw them back several steps before they could barely regain their footing.

Nezha seized the opportunity to rush out, leaving behind only one sentence.

"Anyway, that old man already told me to go to the beach, so I'll just make him happy this once and listen to him."

Nezha was incredibly fast; before he could finish speaking, his figure had already vanished.

The servants only felt a strong gust of wind blowing past them.

They were already used to it, knowing that Nezha was just like that, and with a wry smile, they went to report to Li Jing.

Upon hearing this news, Li Jing's expression was very complicated. He waved his hand to dismiss the servants and remained silent in his chair for a long time without saying a word.

Lin Xuan received a notification as soon as Nezha left the mansion.

The Nezha Conquers the Dragon King instance is now open. Players who do not wish to participate should immediately leave Chen Tang Pass!

Lin Xuan, of course, did not leave. Instead, he stood up, calmly packed up his stall, and walked out of the city with his belongings.

Once he reached a secluded spot, he put the items back into his storage space and sped up.

When he arrived outside the city, Nezha had already run to the seaside, picked up the Hun Tian Ling (a magical ribbon), and stirred it in the seawater.

Even though Nezha was only a few years old, no matter how powerful his magic was, he still had a lot of playfulness.

He treated the East China Sea like a giant basin, stirring it up and creating huge waves that caused the nearby people to flee.

In the sea, countless fish, turtles, shrimps, and crabs were also washed ashore by the huge waves, rolling and tumbling on the ground.

Upon seeing this, Nezha burst into laughter and clapped his hands in approval.

"Fun! Fun!"

"If I'd known playing in the water was this fun, I should have listened to that old man a long time ago!"

At that moment, Nezha felt a surge of affection for Li Jing, realizing that his father had truly changed.

But soon, a hideous monster appeared from the sea, holding a harpoon, half of its body sticking out, and angrily cursing at Nezha in the sky:

"Where did this brat come from, daring to cause trouble here?"

Hearing the cursing, Nezha looked down, grinned, and mimicked the cursing:

"Where did this monster come from, scaring people in broad daylight?"

The monster was so enraged by these words that it emerged from the sea, revealing its entire body, and floated on the surface.

"Kid, you don't even recognize your own Yaksha grandpa?"

"Let me tell you! I am a subordinate of the Dragon King of the East Sea, under the command of the Dragon King of Chentang, and a direct subordinate of the Crab General of the seashore—a dignified sea patrol yaksha! How about that, scared yet?"

The sea patrol yaksha was smug and rattled off a long list of dishes, acting like a novice.

Nezha impatiently picked at his ear: "Don't be afraid."

"What nonsense! This Dragon King, that Crab General, I've never heard of them."

The sea patrol yaksha blinked a few times, then roared angrily:

"Good lad! I was initially inclined to spare your life because of your young age, but since you've been so disrespectful to the Dragon King, how could I possibly let you off?"

The Yaksha not only used its mouth, but also threw its harpoon with incredible speed, heading straight for Nezha.

Many people gasped in shock upon seeing this, and some even covered their eyes, too afraid to look.

Many of these people were fishermen and knew the power of the patrolling sea monsters.

In their memory, even a huge whale would not have a good ending if it were hit by this spear, let alone a child like Nezha.

But to their surprise, when Nezha saw the harpoon, he was not afraid at all, but instead burst into laughter with delight.

"I was so glad I came to the beach today!"

Nezha flicked his Hun Tian Ling (a magical ribbon) to send the harpoon flying, and then struck the sea patrol yaksha.

The sea patrol yaksha remained silent as it was beaten into a pulp by the Hun Tian Ling.

"It's pointless. I thought you were so great just because you sounded so arrogant."

Nezha shook his head, put away the Hun Tian Ling (a magical ribbon), and landed back on the sea surface, using seawater to wash the blood off the magical artifact.

Soon, the sea became turbulent again, stirring up endless waves.

Lin Xuan watched silently from a distance, without intervening.

This scene is just a cutscene; regardless of whether anyone is involved, this is the inevitable ending.

In the past, some players didn't believe in superstition and sided with the Sea Patrol Yaksha, hoping to see if they could change the storyline.

And then that was it. He was also whipped to death by the Hun Tian Ling, like a dump truck running over a speed bump, without even letting the Sea Patrol Yaksha live for a single breath longer.

Since then, no one has done this thankless task anymore.

Lin Xuan knew this wasn't a game; if he intervened to stop the Hun Tian Ling, he could probably hold out for a while longer.

But he was too lazy to cause trouble for himself and just kept looking at the Hun Tian Ling.

At this point, Nezha is still in the story mode, so you can't see his health bar, status, or level.

But the Hun Tian Ling (a type of silk ribbon) does not have this restriction.

【The Universe Ring (Innate Spiritual Treasure): Nezha's magical weapon, possessing immense power, which is even more potent in the sea】

The introduction is short, but it's packed with valuable information.

The name "Lingbao" alone says it all.

In all myths and legends, anything involving these two words is synonymous with preciousness and power.

"Unfortunately, such treasures have long been divided up by those powerful beings. Even I cannot find any unclaimed spiritual treasures."

Lin Xuan sighed softly, a hint of disappointment in his eyes, and his gaze involuntarily fell towards the East China Sea.

Although he didn't have any unclaimed spiritual treasures, he did know that there was a divine artifact with an owner hidden in the East Sea.

It is also known as the "Sea-Stabilizing Needle" or the "Ruyi Jingu Bang" (a magical staff).

The Sea-Stabilizing Needle is merely an acquired spiritual treasure, not as precious as an innate spiritual treasure. However, it was once borrowed by Yu the Great to control the floods, thus gaining merit and blessings.

Just as Lin Xuan was staring in the direction of the East Sea Dragon Palace, another giant dragon emerged from the sea. Its body was enormous, its head and horns imposing, and it roared as soon as it appeared:

"Boy, you actually killed one of my patrolling sea demons! This is outrageous!"

The roar startled Lin Xuan awake. He knew very well that Nezha had angered the nearby Dragon King, and the plot had moved forward another step.

It's time to lure Ao Bing over!

While Nezha was talking to the newly appeared dragon, he submerged into the sea and transformed into his true form.

By this time, a number of sea creatures had gathered in the sea. When they saw Lin Xuan suddenly appear, they were overjoyed, thinking that the nearby Dragon King had come to help and teach Nezha a lesson on the shore.

However, they quickly recognized Lin Xuan's identity.

"This dragon looks familiar... wait, isn't that Lin Xuan?"

"How did he get here!"

"Enough of this nonsense, hurry and inform the Third Prince!"

This third prince, of course, does not refer to the giant dragon that is currently exchanging barbs with Nezha, but rather to Ao Bing.

One of the shrimp soldiers secretly took out a piece of jade and crushed it.

The next moment, deep in the East China Sea, Ao Bing received the news.

"Lin Xuan has appeared, and he's on the shore?"

"I was wondering why I couldn't find him; it turns out he had already escaped to the shore."

Ao Bing stood up and rushed outside.

Prime Minister Turtle, carrying a stone, hurriedly stopped him, saying, "Third Prince, Lin Xuan is just a dragon. Although he has some strength, there's no need for you to go there personally."

"How about this, I'll make the trip for you, catch him, and bring him back. What do you think?"

Fu Shi said this not because he was worried about Ao Bing's safety, but because he genuinely felt that such a trivial matter was not worth Ao Bing's attention.

But Ao Bing didn't appreciate it and said seriously:

"This won't do! That Lin Xuan caused a misunderstanding between my brother and me; he's a scourge to the East Sea!"

"Only by personally bringing him back and delivering him to my elder brother to clear up this misunderstanding can I demonstrate my sincerity."

Upon hearing this, Fu Shi didn't say anything more, but instead gave the instructions:

"Then I wish the Third Prince a safe journey."

"But Third Prince, you must be careful. If Lin Xuanning refuses to submit, you must not kill him. It's better to let him escape than to let him die by your hand!"

Ao Bing laughed and said, "Don't worry, I know what's important."

If Lin Xuan dies at Ao Bing's hands, it's like being shoved into someone's crotch.

There will definitely be rumors that Lin Xuan is actually Ao Bing's man, and that Ao Bing's move this time was not to capture Lin Xuan, but to kill the dragon to silence him.
