At that time, the white snake was considered a beast of good fortune in the eyes of the people living nearby.

Green Snake and White Snake are sisters, but their personalities are completely different. Green Snake dislikes interacting with humans and doesn't like her sister helping humans so much. She thinks that kindness will not be rewarded and that she will sooner or later be disgustedly betrayed by humans.

But no matter what, the Green Snake would occasionally go to the White Snake Temple to help, not to help the people, but simply to help the White Snake share the pressure.

The establishment of the White Snake Temple was not entirely a good thing. Some people heard that the White Snake Temple was efficacious and used it as a turtle pond for making wishes.

One day, a sloppy middle-aged man spoke rudely in the White Snake Temple because he couldn't win money in the casino despite offering incense.

The green snake was originally disgusted with the human race. Seeing this, it angrily threw the gambler dozens of miles away, leaving him half dead and saving his life.

This was the beginning of all the misfortunes. The gambler, whose life was spared, sought out a monk with great magical powers.

When the monk saw the green snake in the temple, he immediately used magic weapons to force the green snake to shed its human form and reveal its true form. Then, in a tone that exposed the truth, he reprimanded the people for their random offerings of evil sacrifices and for worshipping demons and evil spirits as gods.

Although the White Snake wanted to explain, she naturally would not stand idly by when she saw the monk attacking her sister.

The monk was beaten to death, but the common people witnessed the fight with their own eyes and became afraid of the white snake in the temple, thinking that they had enshrined the demon and made it stronger.

The white snake statue in the temple was only as thick as a young girl's arm, but its true form was now terrifyingly huge!

Hundreds of years of good weather and rural peace were ultimately no match for the monk's righteous criticism.

The White Snake chose to take her sister away temporarily to give the people time to calm down. As a result, the White Snake Temple was smashed and burned that night.

That land was a gathering place for humans, but it was also the long-standing habitat of the White Snake and the Green Snake. It was a hometown filled with memories, and yet everything had changed in an instant...

It was as if I had had a long, beautiful dream, but the monk's harsh incantation shattered the dream.

It was also in that year that the White Snake wanted to have some peace and quiet, so she refused her sister's request to follow her and went out to travel around alone, and found the boy in the wilderness.

It seemed that the Green Snake did not follow the White Snake on her travels, but she would always "accidentally" meet the White Snake from time to time. During that "accidental encounter", she saw the child in her sister's arms and knew that she was being kind again, so she wanted the White Snake to abandon the child to avoid repeating the lesson of the White Snake Temple.

The two had an argument about this. Qing Snake couldn't believe that after being betrayed once, her sister would actually quarrel with her for a human child!

Then, there was a long period of cold war...

The girl in green left her memories and returned her attention to the present. Her eyes refocused and she sighed:

"Sister, how long will it take you to rebuild your body now?"

"It won't take long. Just think of it as shedding an old snake skin. I simply want to discard that skin stained with merit and incense, and sever my ties with that land."

After all, the White Snake had stayed in its homeland for too long. It had been worshipped and believed in by generations of people there, and it had almost become the local land god.

She could always catch some movement over there in her mind, and the invisible bond still connected her to that land, making her feel very uncomfortable.

Although abandoning that body that was the fruit of merit and virtue resulted in the loss of some magical power, it had little impact on the White Snake's current level of cultivation.

Even if the strength declines, it will only be a slight decline.

It is more important to have clear thoughts and a peaceful state of mind!

"Sister, where's the child? He's fattened up. Has he eaten anything?"

The girl in green asked seriously, obviously hoping that her sister would reply "I ate it", even though she knew that was unlikely.

The white snake was reflected in the water, and the woman's reflection showed a helpless smile on her face:

"I left Wuji in the capital of Lihuo Nation, with my remains. By the time I finish those bottles of Qi and Blood Pills, the remains will probably have decayed... He will slowly get used to life in the human capital, and maybe even run into his family."

The green snake was startled, revealing a look of surprise:

"Sister, didn't you tell him your true identity?"

Seeing the White Snake's silence, the Green Snake immediately understood.

My sister still liked the child very much, but she was also worried that the child would show the same expressions as those villagers did when he saw his true form of the White Snake...

So, she chose to leave without saying goodbye.

Leaving behind a remains and the Qi and blood elixir that can keep the remains from decaying temporarily, giving Chu Wuji enough time to adapt to his new life after returning to the human race.

"Xiaoqing, I need to spend some time to rebuild my body. Please help me..."

"Don't go."

The girl in blue refused very decisively and quickly. Her sister probably wanted her to go and see the child's current situation.

At this stage, the Qi and blood elixirs have been almost consumed. Even if the child stays by Bai Sujin's remains, he has to face the reality that his body is about to decay and take his next step.

The White Snake was not angry at the rejection, she changed her words:

"I won't force you. I'll go and take a look myself after a while."

The green snake frowned. How could her sister walk around casually when she was in the process of rebuilding her body?

"Alright, alright, I'll be there in a while. You better rest here, sister!"

From Fire Country, Capital City,

A few days had passed since Si Que brought the little princess to visit late at night.

Princess Yao'er would come to Chu Wuzhi's house from time to time to walk the cat. The little princess looked innocent and well-behaved, but would occasionally say something surprising.

——Brother Chu, this little white tiger is so lonely in the palace. Can you invite its mother back to live with us?

This is so much that I wish Chu Wuji would wipe out Baihu's entire family...

But fortunately, the princess was just talking and would not be so willful as to actually ask Chu Wuji to take action.

What Chu Wuji cared about most these days was not the distinguished guest at home, but the news about the famous doctor from Sique.

"Princess Yao'er, how's the progress on the matter of hiring a famous doctor that I mentioned a few days ago?"

The girl was squatting beside the little white tiger and playing with it. When she heard Chu Wuji's words, she kept her knees bent and squatted, and took small steps to Chu Wuji, looking cute and naughty.

"You only need to call me 'Princess' when there are outsiders around. Otherwise, people will blame me for things like etiquette and rules. You don't need to call me that in private. Didn't Brother Chu say he wasn't used to being bound by rules?"

"Okay, then I'll call you Yao'er or Miss Xiuhu from now on?"

The girl was satisfied, and then she replied to Chu Wuji's previous topic:

"Sister Que has been running around the capital these past few days, personally visiting the homes of those prestigious doctors. However, I don't know where those doctors have gone. Sister Que has missed several of them, so today she's out looking for a doctor again."

At first, Si Que didn't think that he wouldn't be able to find anyone, so he planned to invite an old imperial physician who had retired from the palace to complete Chu Wuzhi's request.

He was the most recognized doctor in the Jing'an Palace. He had participated in the refining of the Black Jade Soul-Restoring Pill and was the most suitable person to treat Chu Wuzhi's mother.

Unexpectedly, the old man was away at his age, and there was no news after waiting for several days.

Chu Wuji nodded when he heard this, thinking that he was stood up. Knowing that Si Que had been working hard for him, he didn't know what to say.

"Yao'er, let me take you back to the palace. I need to go to the martial arts academy later. The arrangements for the martial arts competition should be announced."

"I'll go with you, Brother Chu. I haven't been to the martial arts academy yet!"

"It's not good to take you out without permission, right?" Chu Wuzhi looked embarrassed, as if he was very worried about the safety of the little princess.

In fact, he simply found it troublesome. With a little princess by his side, he had to walk slower and accommodate her in every way.

Chu Wuzhi's plan was to go and come back quickly, and after looking at the arrangements, he would rush back to accompany his godmother, but he had no plans to chat or stroll around with the little girl.

Princess Yaoer insisted, "The Divine Machine Academy is close to the Imperial Palace. I can stop by and play inside. Just take me there! What dangers are there to worry about?"

Chu Wuji asked subtly, "You don't need me to pick you up, Yao'er?"

A “?” appeared in the girl’s head and she stared at Chu Wuji in silence.

She had just thought Chu Wuji was worried about an accident on the way, but it turned out that he was worried about... not being able to take her back to the palace?!

"I can take Brother Chu to the palace to see it. Most people don't have this opportunity!"

Chu Wuji was very considerate of the princess's feelings and said sincerely:

"If I say I'm not interested in watching it, will you be angry, Yao'er? If you are, then just pretend I never said anything."

The girl was unhappy and pouted. She compromised and said:

"Okay, then just send me to the Shenji Academy. There's no need for you, Brother Chu, to pick me up. I'll stay the night in the palace!"

*

Chu Wuzhi, who was temporarily acting as a guard, brought the little princess to the martial arts academy.

Yu Hualong has been waiting for Chu Wuzhi to show up these days. Today he finally saw this guy. He also planned to go to the nearby area and say a few sarcastic words intentionally or unintentionally to see if he could stimulate him and remind him to go to Yunhe Town.

This sarcastic remark doesn't have to be said to him in person, but it will be fine as long as Chu Wuzhi can hear it nearby.

Although ears are on people's bodies, the people with ears have no control over what they want to hear.

Yu Hualong was about to go over, and as soon as his eyes met Chu Wuzhi, he noticed Princess Yaoer beside him.

Yu Hualong was silent for a moment, then turned and left without hesitation.

This person is someone you cannot mess with!

"Hey, isn't this Junior Brother Chu?"

Several fellow disciples who were close to Chu Wuzhi came over and threw another big bun to him when they met, just like giving him a cigarette when they met.

People who practice martial arts consume a lot of energy and are prone to hunger. When they are not training, they need to carry some food with them.

Several fellow disciples had limited vision and could not recognize Princess Yao'er's identity. They could only judge that she was either rich or noble. Just by looking at her clothes, some of them felt ashamed and did not dare to talk to her.

Their focus was all on Chu Wuzhi's opponent, and they analyzed all kinds of intelligence about the opponent, acting like a know-it-all in the martial arts world.

After analyzing for a long time, they started chatting about interesting things they had heard recently.

"Junior Brother Chu, can you imagine the interesting story we just heard yesterday? Those highly respected doctors actually went to Yunhe Town in person to compete for medicinal herbs. I'm afraid the old men must have been arguing fiercely!"

People who practice martial arts will always get injured sometimes, and they will have to deal with doctors, especially those old doctors who are somewhat famous. They have a bad temper and are very arrogant!

Who hasn’t had their faces eaten?

It was hard for them to imagine these old men lowering their dignity to grab medicine, so they found it amusing.

He does not mean that.

"Is it just what happened in the past few days?" Chu Wuji's expression became serious.

Inexplicably, he recalled the recent strange rumors about Canal Town in his mind.

Fresh shrimps are out of stock one after another and are stuck in Yunhe Town. Now even the old doctors’ medicinal herbs are stuck there?

Is it that serious?

"That's probably the case. I heard others talking about it while we were having dinner. They said that if you break a bone these days, you'll just have to bear with it because you can't find a doctor to help you straighten the bone and apply medicine." The senior brother, who never let go of the meat bun, replied.

Chu Wuji asked anxiously, "Princess Yao'er, what happened in Yunhe Town? Can the palace get any information?"

The little princess usually doesn't pay attention to such things. She thought about it:

"I remember Sister Que seemed to have taken people to Yunhe Town this morning...How about I go to the palace and ask for Brother Chu? Aunt Queen will definitely know!"

The fellow disciples who were about to continue chatting suddenly fell silent, looking at Chu Wuji in confusion, and then at the girl.

She called Junior Brother Chu "brother", but what did she call the Queen just now...?

PS: This is the only update tonight. I’m a bit stuck and need to plan the subsequent conflict plot carefully.

PS: I can’t update the book quickly during its new stage. If I write too hastily, the rhythm will be disrupted and the viewing experience will be affected.

The first impression of many characters is very important. If the first impression is bad, it will be difficult to make up for the character's attractiveness later.

Chapter 22 Fish and Bear's Paw

The memories of Chu Wuji held by several fellow disciples were that he was being bullied by the instructor.

Ever since he had beaten his relative half to death in the last competition, the coach had been trying to make things difficult for him.

The fact that he was taken to the yamen a while ago was evidence. He took things that he shouldn't have taken and took away things that were decided by his relatives. His future fate will definitely not be good.

But what's going on now? Suddenly, a more powerful prince or noble is here to protect him?!

It seems that this girl trusts Chu Wuji quite a bit, even calling him brother...

The fellow disciples were still standing there in a daze, unable to wrap their minds around it. Chu Wuzhi and Princess Yao'er ignored them and were discussing things seriously.

Chu Wuji planned to go to the government office to sound out the situation. It was also a way to get information. By listening to both sides, he might be able to get a clearer picture of the whole matter.
