Chapter 10: Xuanzang Coils the Snake

Journey to the West: Starting by Joining the Chat Group, Main Text Volume, Chapter 10, Xuanzang Coils the Snake. My name is Xiaoqing, and I am a snake demon.

I have an older sister, Xiaobai, who is also a snake demon.

We have spent a hundred years together, sisters with a deep bond; we have eyes only for each other, and nothing else in the world matters.

We have always lived in Mount Qingcheng, cultivating in silence, hiding deep within the mountain forests, breathing in the essence of the sun and moon, determined to shed our demon forms early and become immortals.

Of course, such an ambition belongs to my sister Xiaobai; I only need to cling to my sister's coattails.

Because my sister yearns for the prosperity of the Renjian, and we have attained over a hundred, nearly two hundred years of Taoism, we wanted to take advantage of our transformation to visit a human city.

Of course, with our cultivation, we can maintain our transformation for at most about two hours.

It is just that we underestimated the dangers vaguely present in this land; while passing through Black Wolf Ridge, we encountered an eight-hundred-year-old great demon.

Setting aside the facts, the Black Wolf King could absolutely kill our sisters in seconds.

But I simply refuse to submit, I am unwilling to bow my head, and I am unwilling to be the Black Wolf's maid!

After all, beast-folk never submit to slavery, even though they are snake demons.

However, just when they thought they might perish here, or even if they survived, they would be abused by the Black Wolf King.

A man with a very handsome appearance appeared, and the seemingly invincible Black Wolf King, an eight-hundred-year-old great demon, was casually struck by this member of the Human Race with a single punch, shattering into pieces and exploding into clouds of blood mist.

It's too absurd!

Is the Human Race all this strong?

Although they were saved, I feel the danger has not been resolved, fearing that this person might give me a punch and then I would explode.

……

Now, the scene fell into a moment of silence; neither Xiaobai nor Xiaoqing dared to speak, trembling with fear.

Their nimble eyes still stole glances at Xuanzang from time to time; there was no help for it, this human was too good-looking, as if just looking at him brought joy to the heart and increased one's magic power—it was indescribably wonderful.

Xuanzang squatted down, picked up a tree branch, and poked at the Black Wolf's flesh; it had basically turned into blood mud and was stained with much liquid, not a single piece of intact flesh remained.

Looking over all the parts, only a somewhat incomplete wolf head remained lying in the pool of blood.

"What a pity!"

Xuanzang shook his head; he had only thrown a casual punch, not expecting the Black Wolf demon to be gone.

Are the demons of today all so fragile?

After dropping the branch, Xuanzang finally turned his gaze toward the two snake demons and asked:

"Do you think I did a good deed?"

Xiaobai and Xiaoqing's faces turned pale.

Looking at the tragic state of the Black Wolf's death, no matter how one looked at it, the style was horrific.

"I... suppose so!" Xiaoqing said uncertainly.

"Suppose so? I am not satisfied with this answer of yours."

Xuanzang shook his arm; that plain-looking fist appeared to the two demons like a terrifying killing machine.

The little white snake knelt halfway down, bowing her body, her little white snake tail curled into a ball, and she said with a fearful expression:

"High Immortal, if there was anything improper in Xiaoqing's speech, I beg the High Immortal not to blame her. If you must blame someone, I will bear it all; please spare Xiaoqing's life."

Xuanzang found it strange; was he that scary? Why were the two demons acting like this?

It made it seem like he was the big boss.

"Who wants to kill you? Also, I am not a High Immortal; I am just a mere mortal," Xuanzang said.

"A mortal?"

Xiaobai and Xiaoqing looked at each other, feeling their brains were not enough to process this.

"This Black Wolf wanted to kill you sisters, and I saved you; this is a good deed, otherwise why would I have saved you?" Xuanzang said.

"Get up!"

Xuanzang felt the two demons had misunderstood something and asked casually:

"Where are you demons from? Your cultivation is so low, yet you are running around? It is fortunate you met me; if you had met some creature with special fetishes, they might have boiled you two for soup..."

As the words fell, Xiaobai and Xiaoqing were even more terrified. Could this High Immortal be implying something?

Xiaoqing said weakly: "You shouldn't be the kind of person with special fetishes, right?"

Xuanzang grinned, his face warm and kind, and said:

"Of course I am not; generally speaking, I prefer red-braised or deep-fried, as that is crispier and has a better texture."

"..." Xiaobai, Xiaoqing.

The two women revealed looks of despair; they had just escaped the wolf's mouth only to enter a tiger's den, and it was a human with particularly perverted strength at that.

"I'm teasing you, haha."

Xuanzang felt the two snake demons were a bit simple and not very bright.

A bit stupid!

Xiaobai and Xiaoqing let out a sigh of relief.

"Benefactor, thank you for your help. My name is Xiaobai, and this is my younger sister Xiaoqing. We will never forget your kindness, and if we have the chance, we will definitely repay it," Xiaobai said earnestly.

"Xiaobai, Xiaoqing?"

Hearing this, Xuanzang looked the two women up and down.

Is it a coincidence?

Could it be that all white snakes and green snakes are called Xiaobai and Xiaoqing?

The entire snake race shouldn't have white snakes and green snakes as rare species, right?

And is this the Tang Dynasty now?

There is no Leifeng Pagoda or Fahai either!

For a fleeting moment, Xuanzang felt that the two women might be the future Bai She, Bai Suzhen, and the Green Snake... Qing... something??

But there was no evidence.

However, judging by human aesthetic standards, although the two women currently had human heads and snake bodies, their facial features were still very beautiful.

If one ignored their lower bodies and only looked at their upper bodies, there was even a sense of Foreign Realm exoticism.

Actually, having snake tails wasn't bad either; after all, playing with snake Skin was quite trendy.

Xuanzang's mind raced for a moment, thinking of all sorts of strange and bizarre things.

"I am traveling; do you two want to follow me?" Xuanzang asked.

Xiaobai and Xiaoqing nodded repeatedly.

Did they have the power to refuse? What if this guy gave them a punch? What would they do?

"Not bad, not bad."

Xuanzang had the two women pack up the black wolf's dog head; although Xiaobai and Xiaoqing didn't know the reason, they did as they were told.

Walking on the road, Xiaobai's face was flushed, and she wanted to speak several times but held back.

Xuanzang noticed Xiaobai's expression and asked:

"What's wrong? Are you uncomfortable? Should we take a break?"

Xiaobai shook her head and gently twisted her snake tail.

Although Xiaoqing was afraid, she was straightforward and said:

"Big sister's Demon Power core is in your hands; without the Demon Power core, big sister doesn't have enough stamina."

Hearing this, Xuanzang suddenly understood.

No wonder his palm had been unconsciously rolling some object; it turned out to be Xiaobai's Demon Power core.

It had to be said that this Demon Power core felt really good in the hand, and after being rolled for a long time, a thin layer of liquid had even appeared on it.

Since it concerned Xiaobai's life and safety, Xuanzang returned the Demon Power core to Xiaobai.

Xiaobai said thank you, then slowly swallowed the Demon Power core.

The Demon Power core felt very warm upon entering her mouth, instantly sinking into her dantian, and a faint fragrance permeated her mouth; this was definitely not the scent of the Demon Power core itself.

Xiaobai's face turned crimson; this scent was too intoxicating, filling her nose and mouth.

Moreover, for monsters in general, using a Demon Power core would certainly damage their magic power and Taoism.

But Xiaobai discovered that after her Demon Power core had taken a trip outside and been rolled for half a day, the Demon Power inside not only hadn't been consumed but had instead become increasingly full and pure.

Xiaobai even felt that in less than half a year, she could rely on this magic power to break through to the late stage of Refining Essence into Qi.

And once she entered the Refining Qi and Transforming Spirit realm, she could truly take human form.

Being rolled once had directly saved her nearly a hundred years of cultivation time; in her heart, Xiaobai felt nothing but awe and gratitude toward Xuanzang.

If she didn't lack the stamina, she would have really liked to be rolled for a while longer.

At this moment, in Xiaobai's eyes, there seemed to be a holy halo on Xuanzang, who was walking in front!
