Chapter 585

As she strolled into the bamboo grove, a roar echoed through the air.

"Stop right there!"

"This place is where my sister and I cultivate!"

As the words ended, a hissing sound arose—the green and white snakes had spotted Xiao Bai; their massive heads extended forward, tongues flickering in warning.

"You dare take the side of a mortal against me?" Xiao Bai smiled lightly.

The white snake stared at Xiao Bai: "Fellow cultivator, it's only a mortal—why press so hard?"

The green snake chuckled: "Why would this sister risk our demon kind's harmony over a mere mortal?"

Seeing the two serpents' expressions were genuine, Xiao Bai couldn't help but feel this way.

Even in another world, the green and white snakes remained fundamentally good-natured.

"I've transmitted the Jin Dan path to these two snakes of this world and helped them seize one of the Four Regulators—surely my husband won't accuse me of favoritism?"

With a thought, she lightly swept her sleeve.

Instantly, the rain and wind eased, revealing bright sunlight.

The green and white demons were stunned.

Given their cultivation, dispelling rain and wind was within their ability.

Yet they refused to do such things that defied Heaven's will.

Without a master to guide them, the green and white snakes could only guess what was in accord with Heaven and what was against it.

They had no idea that Heaven itself didn't care about such things.

"Wow!"

"Wow!"

At that moment, the woman beneath the giant snakes safely gave birth, letting out a clear cry.

It was a boy and a girl—twins.

"Thank you both, young ladies, or we three would have been in grave danger today."

Seeing the two wrinkled infants, the woman's eyes glowed with maternal warmth; she tried to rise and thank them.

In her eyes, there was no giant snake, nor did Xiao Bai's sweep dispel the storm.

She saw only the illusions the green and white snakes allowed her to perceive.

"Huh? Another young lady has appeared!" The woman looked at Xiao Bai. "Who might you be?"

"I'm Xiao Bai, a friend of these two younger sisters," Xiao Bai said softly, stepping closer. "These children are truly blessed—fate has ordained their fortune. Lady, you are fortunate."

"Thank you, Miss, for your auspicious words," the woman rejoiced.

Who doesn't like to hear good words?

At this moment, the green and white snakes had transformed into human form and removed the illusion, walking over.

Hearing this, they gazed at the two infants—but saw nothing unusual…

After all, the art of observing qi is no ordinary skill—it's not something wild demons naturally possess.

"Sister, don't rise—be careful of your body," the white snake stepped forward, soothing her.

Turning to Xiao Bai, she asked: "May I ask, what brings you here?"

"May I speak with you privately?" Xiao Bai asked. "You needn't worry about this sister—I'll protect them fully."

She plucked the Jin Buyao from her hair and fixed it in midair.

Instantly, a beam of Jin Guang descended, enveloping the mother and her three children.

The Jin Guang was gentle; the woman felt a warm force settle over her—previously chilled, she now felt as if in spring.

The infants ceased crying and giggled, stretching out their tiny hands, waving as if trying to grasp the Jin Buyao floating above.

"A deity?" The woman was stunned, trying to rise, but Xiao Bai hurried forward. "Sister, don't rise—you've just given birth, you must rest. As for other matters, don't think about them now."

Seeing Xiao Bai wasn't evil, the green and white snakes exchanged glances and nodded in acknowledgment.

"Since Miss Xiao Bai has something to say, let's step aside."

Saying this, the green and white snakes walked ahead, Xiao Bai following closely behind.

After walking several dozen meters, the white snake suddenly stopped.

"May I ask, Miss Xiao Bai, what is your origin?"

The white snake was deeply curious.

She felt an inexplicable sense of closeness toward Xiao Bai.

This feeling had no source—it left her baffled.

3.0 Xiao Bai laughed softly, casting a veil of illusion, then shifted her form into a massive snow-white serpent.

"I am the white snake from another world; you are the white snake of this world. Though our appearances differ, our destinies are similar," Xiao Bai reverted to human form and spoke thus.

The white snake was astonished: "Another world's white snake?"

Xiao Bai nodded: "Yes. I've already met one white snake—Sister Bai Suzhen. What is your name?"

The white snake was stunned: "I'm also named Bai Suzhen—Sister Bai, are you teasing me?"

Xiao Bai laughed: "What would I gain by teasing you? By the way, I too have a green snake sister—and Sister Bai Suzhen has a green snake sister too! This is fate!"

The green snake was stunned: "There's another green snake in another world?"

Xiao Bai nodded.

The white snake frowned: "Then how can Sister Bai prove she truly comes from another world?"
