Chapter 18 The White Snake Transforms into a Dragon, Xu Xian's "Death"

Many customs of the Dragon Boat Festival are related to realgar, so Xiaoqing doesn't like the Dragon Boat Festival.

On the evening of the fourth day of the fifth lunar month, she angrily left Hangzhou and returned to Mount Qingcheng.

The Xu family's residence was naturally very busy.

They wrap rice dumplings, tie colorful threads around them, and paste small talismans to ward off evil spirits.

It seems that because Xiaoqing was not around, Bai Suzhen even changed the lining of her white dress to a light blue gauze.

It looks lively and beautiful.

Bai Suzhen truly lived up to her reputation as a thousand-year-old snake demon; she could handle anything with ease.

Even ordinary zongzi can be wrapped with exquisite care, looking like works of art.

"My lord, what do you think of my zongzi?"

Bai Suzhen held up a small rice dumpling and showed it off to Xu Xian as if she were showing off her achievement.

As the Dragon Boat Festival approached, Xu Xian was naturally not idle either, and was busy helping Bai Suzhen.

At this moment, he is tying a thin string to the rice dumpling he has wrapped.

Xu Xian glanced at Bai Suzhen's exquisite little rice dumpling and said, "It's so-so, not as good as mine."

Bai Suzhen chuckled when she saw the large and irregular object in Xu Xian's hand: "Yours is indeed better."

"..."

Xu Xian was speechless for a moment, then gritted his teeth and asked, "Then what are you laughing at?"

"I remembered happy things."

Xu Xian, still fuming, continued wrapping the next zongzi.

Bai Suzhen looked at the strangely shaped thing, then at the defiant Xu Xian.

She opened her mouth, but ultimately said nothing.

Instead, he wiped his hands and walked towards the kitchen.

Smoke rises from the chimney, and a delicious aroma wafts out.

In a short while, Bai Suzhen brought out three small dishes and a pot of warm wine.

"My lord, you've worked hard. Please take a rest."

Xu Xian is struggling with a giant rice dumpling.

Bamboo leaves, glutinous rice, red dates, red bean paste, string...

It seems like everyone is against him.

Xu Xian's fingers flew, but he could never quite wrap it up.

Either dates fall or glutinous rice is exposed.

After much effort, they wrapped it in bamboo leaves and tied the string in a tight knot.

This angered Xu Xian so much that his blood pressure spiked.

Bai Suzhen naturally witnessed this scene.

She smiled and took Xu Xian's hand, helping him untie the rope and rewrap the zongzi.

Bai Suzhen's eyes sparkled: "My lord is so amazing, you've wrapped up a giant rice dumpling!"

"..."

Bai Suzhen helped Xu Xian onto a reclining chair, poured him a cup of wine, and placed chopsticks in his hand: "My lord, please rest for a while."

Xu Xian looked at the dishes in front of him, and then at Bai Suzhen's busy back, and felt a little sad.

Dragon Boat Festival calamity...

Although he was reluctant, he knew it was a crucial step, so he did not hesitate.

Bai Suzhen put all the rice dumplings into the pot, cleaned the courtyard, and prepared all the necessary items for the Dragon Boat Festival.

By noon, she had prepared a large table of food and was about to pour wine.

Xu Xian stopped her, saying, "My wife has worked hard. Leave the rest to me."

Bai Suzhen suddenly felt a slight tremor in her heart, as if something big was about to happen.

Is a breakthrough imminent?

Why am I so restless?

Xu Xian took Bai Suzhen's hand and helped her to the table, his tone leaving no room for argument: "I'll do it."

Bai Suzhen no longer refused, but looked at Xu Xian's back and suddenly felt her heart clench, and her body trembled slightly uncontrollably.

Xu Xian went outside, took out the fine wine and the realgar he had prepared, and poured it all in.

Pushing open the door and entering the room, Xu Xian poured a full glass of wine for the beautiful woman before him.

Xu Xian was not an indecisive person.

Despite feeling somewhat reluctant, she did not hesitate at all.

He handed the wine cup to Bai Suzhen, then picked up his own cup and said with a smile, "My wife, let's drink the nuptial cup one more time."

Bai Suzhen's heart suddenly calmed down: "Okay."

The two exchanged cups and drank it all in one gulp.

pat!

Bai Suzhen's wine cup fell to the ground, and a slightly trembling voice came from behind her: "My lord, there's something in the wine..."

Xu Xian sighed inwardly, but outwardly wore a strange expression: "There's realgar in the wine, which can ward off evil spirits and bring good fortune... My wife, what's wrong?"

Bai Suzhen's face turned deathly pale, and her body alternated between hot and cold.

Sometimes tense, sometimes limp.

She forced herself to stand up and pushed Xu Xian towards the door, saying, "I...I'm not feeling well. I'll be fine after a nap...please don't come in, my lord!"

After finishing speaking, panting heavily, Bai Suzhen closed the door, bolted it, and then lay down on the bed.

Her body twisted and turned, and beneath Bai Suzhen's dress, her legs gradually came together, revealing shimmering scales.

A moment later, Bai Suzhen's lower body transformed into a white snake.

Bai Suzhen forced herself to stay calm and listened to the sounds outside the door. Seeing that Xu Xian indeed hadn't come in,

Only then did I feel slightly relieved.

Her arms came together, gradually merging with her body, completely transforming into a white snake!

Bai Suzhen felt as if she had entered a state of chaos.

She desperately wanted to get out, but had no way to do so, and could only wander around aimlessly like a headless fly.

After an unknown period of time, the chaotic energy gradually evolved into Yin and Yang energies.

As Bai Suzhen gazed at the yin and yang energies, she unconsciously recalled her intimate moments with Xu Xian.

As soon as she made a thought, the yin and yang energies here suddenly changed, complementing each other.

At the same time, the white snake's body in the room gradually changed.

A glistening horn sprouted from the head of the white snake, and two short claws gradually took shape beneath its body.

The white snake has transformed into a dragon, its very essence has changed!

Countless demonic energies soared into the sky, alarming all cultivators in Hangzhou!

Unfortunately, despite the effects of realgar, Bai Suzhen still did not wake up.

Xu Xian lay on a rocking chair in the courtyard with his eyes closed, swaying gently.

At one point, the rocking chair stopped.

He stepped outside and exerted force in his palm.

click!

The bolt shattered instantly.

Xu Xian pushed open the door and entered, his heart filled with excitement as he looked at the white dragon on the bed.

Bai Suzhen has already broken through level 40 and has now become a demon king!

Next, it was my turn to perform.

Xu Xian rushed to the bedside, pulled back the curtain, and cried out, "Snake, snake—"

Bai Suzhen was startled awake when she heard Xu Xian's voice!

Xu Xian rolled his eyes and fell straight down.

At the same time, he performed the [Small Heavenly Circuit Hibernation Method].

[Small Heavenly Circuit Hibernation Method] Second effect: Tortoise Breathing and Dragon Sleep!

It puts the physical body into a state of death.

The third effect of the [Small Heavenly Circuit Hibernation Method]: Spiritual Journey to the Vast Void!

When the soul leaves the body, it can hide in the vast emptiness.

Xu Xian completely concealed his aura using the Lesser Heavenly Cycle Hidden Concealment Technique, appearing as if he had truly been frightened to death.

Bai Suzhen suddenly awoke with a start.

Without even checking her own condition, she pounced on Xu Xian in her white dragon form: "My lord!"

Seeing that Xu Xian was dead, Bai Suzhen was in turmoil.

She coiled around Xu Xian, opened her mouth and spat out her dragon core, intending to use it to give Xu Xian a chance to live.

Just then, a flash of green light appeared outside the door, and Xiaoqing appeared inside: "Sister, I was extremely confused just now, did something happen...?"

Looking at her sister who had revealed her true form and Xu Xian lying on the ground, she immediately guessed what had happened.

Xiaoqing exclaimed in alarm, "No! Sister's demon core is too powerful. Not only will it not save Xu Xian, it will also corrupt his body!"

Bai Suzhen didn't stop: "I used my magic to control the demon core and maintain the man's life force. I'll immediately go to the Heavenly Court to obtain the elixir!"

"Having lost her demon core, sister's cultivation is likely reduced to nine-tenths. I will protect her physical body from decay; sister, you may depart!"

Xiaoqing reached out and pressed her hand against Xu Xian's forehead, while simultaneously using her magic to suppress Bai Suzhen's demon core.

Bai Suzhen knew the priorities and therefore did not refuse.

She swallowed the demon core, and her body shone with dazzling light as she prepared to ascend straight to the Heavenly Court.

Xiaoqing used her magic to protect Xu Xian and asked, "Sister, we are demons. Going to the Heavenly Court is fraught with danger... Is it worth it?"

Bai Suzhen looked at Xu Xian without saying a word.

His body shot straight into the sky!
