Chapter 333

Xiaobai was stunned, then shook her head: "Are we really going back into the snake den to command all the snakes?"

"Uh… better not!" Xiaoqing shook her head at once upon hearing it.

Though Xiaoqing was of the snake kind, she had long disliked living together with a crowd of demons because they ostracized her.

Now that her cultivation had reached great completion, she could go anywhere under heaven; to make her live with her former kind again only made her feel a vague revulsion.

"I don't want to go back either." Xiaobai sighed. "Though the snake den is where we were born, it is no good place. Let's find somewhere to cultivate in peace."

Boom!

At that very moment, the Snake Mother's corpse crashed to the ground.

Xiaobai looked over, her gaze softening, and said: "Xiaoqing, the Snake Mother did grant us the grace of enlightenment after all. Even if she harbored ill intent, she is dead now. Better to bury her properly and bring closure to the affection of days past."

"Sister is truly kind-hearted!" Xiaoqing could not quite understand Xiaobai's thinking.

But since her sister wished to do it, she could only support her.

After all, Xiaobai was like her very brain — all she had to do was obey!

"Oh, what's this?"

The two landed on the ground and suddenly noticed a single golden page scattered beside the Snake Mother's corpse, its light dazzling.

"Ten Thousand Streams Return to the Origin!" Xiaobai picked it up and looked, and at once her gaze sharpened. "It's that harmful cultivation method."

Xiaoqing was a little tempted: "Sister…"

"I'll sell this thing to Shangcheng. If we too, like the Snake Mother, were to enlighten demon-kind and seize their cultivation base, then what difference would there be between us and her?" Xiaobai shook her head, and the next instant the golden page vanished from her hand.

Xiaoqing felt a touch of regret.

If she enlightened hundreds of millions of demons, wouldn't she become the sovereign of all demons? And if she seized their cultivation base, she would surely become a colossal demon that pierced through heaven and earth.

Suddenly, she looked toward the Snake Mother's corpse.

"Xiaobai, you said that Shangcheng takes anything, so how about…"

Smack!

Before the words had even fallen, Xiaobai's jade-like finger flicked Xiaoqing right on the forehead.

"Xiaoqing, we are snake demons, she was the Snake Mother. Killing her was unavoidable, but to sell her corpse — how could we possibly do that."

"Sister, among our demon-kind the strong devour the weak, and devouring one's own kind is normal, you…"

Halfway through speaking, she suddenly sensed her sister's gaze turn sharp, disappointment shining in those eyes, and at once could not continue.

She did not necessarily think she was wrong.

But Xiaoqing did not want to disappoint her sister!

"Since that's the case, then let's just bury her."

In her heart she sighed: "Such a large demon body, brimming with demon qi — it should fetch at least one elixir. Sister is really too wasteful!"

Gazing at the Snake Mother's grave, Xiaoqing's heart was bleeding.

That could've been an immortal pill!

Whiz whiz whiz!

In the forest, the horde of demons scattered in an instant.

With the Snake Mother dead, they naturally had no courage to come seeking revenge, and at once the tree fell and the monkeys scattered.

"Let's go." Xiaobai sighed for a while, finally composed herself, took Xiaoqing with her, plunged into the blue sky, and tore through the air, departing.
