Because a powerful demon beast guarded the outside of the cave.
This demon beast was Green Snake's companion. Green Snake had been hiding in this cave all along, but her companion did not know.
The Mysterious Cave
This cave had been arranged by Li Changsheng, and it contained countless spirit fruits, rare medicinal herbs, and precious ores.
After cultivating in the cave for a month,
Li Changsheng opened his eyes that day. Brilliant light blossomed from them, while wisps of white mist curled around them. He seemed to have transformed into an immortal, incomparably sacred.
Li Changsheng looked at the Green Snake outside the cave, snorted coldly, and appeared directly before her.
Green Snake had not expected her companion not to be guarding outside the cave.
Instead, he was patrolling outside the cave. She immediately became somewhat angry. "Didn't I tell you? You are not allowed within half a step of the cave. That is an order. Do you understand?"
Green Snake's voice was exceedingly cold, carrying a frosty chill.
A Yellow Ox beside Green Snake heard her voice and hurriedly lowered his head. "Yes, my lady. This subordinate understands."
Although this Yellow Ox was merely a first-rank demon beast, he knew that his life was in Green Snake's hands. If she truly wanted to kill him, he would never be able to escape.
"Mm."
Green Snake nodded, then looked at Li Changsheng standing at the cave entrance.
"Who are you?"
"Heh."
Li Changsheng chuckled upon hearing Green Snake's words, then slowly replied.
"You are the master of this cave, aren't you?"
"Mm, that's right." Green Snake was somewhat puzzled by Li Changsheng's words.
"Since that is the case, then I am qualified to live here as well."
Li Changsheng said, "You should know that I am no good person."
