A Romance Between Human and Beast
Xu Xian was so frightened he fainted!
Ma Feifei fled the scene the moment before the White Snake dragged the Green Snake out of the house. In this situation, he definitely couldn't let the White Snake see him. Ma Feifei had to create the illusion that no third party was present. As for whether the White Snake would choose to kill Xu Xian after Xu Xian saw the Green Snake, there was no need to worry. If the White Snake wanted to restore her peak cultivation, she would inevitably need to rely on the pure Yang energy in Xu Xian's body, so killing him was impossible. On the contrary, if nothing unexpected happened, she would cover up what Xu Xian had just seen.
After the white snake came out, the flames inside the house gradually died down. Everything was intact, without a single charred spot. It was as if the fire had never happened.
The White Snake stood outside, frowning as she looked at the scene inside the house. Then she glanced at Xu Xian, and looked around, her eyes filled with doubt.
However, the White Snake couldn't find anything, so she helped Xu Xian into the house. Then, a gust of wind shot out from inside the house and grabbed the Green Snake as well.
"Smack~"
The door was closed again.
At this moment, Ma Feifei appeared at the entrance of the courtyard, stroked his chin, glanced at the closed door, and finally left the courtyard.
Outside the projection.
"I never expected Xiao Qing to be a snake. No wonder she was so resistant to the realgar wine earlier." The cultivators outside started talking about it.
"Could the White Lady also be a snake? She looks exactly like Xiao Qing, and they're always together."
It's highly likely.
"So this is a book about bestiality?"
"Hmm..."
The group looked at each other, unsure of what to say.
In fact, in the Azure Dragon Continent, the phenomenon of human-animal love has occurred before. The most famous example is Cang Lan, the current dean of the Azure Dragon Academy. When Cang Lan was young, he met a merman and fell in love with him because he admired his talent. However, human-animal love could not be accepted by him. When Cang Lan's father, Cang Xiong, the then city lord of Lan City in the Zhao Kingdom, learned of this, he personally killed the merman, separating Cang Lan and the merman forever.
So why is Cang Lan's love affair with a mermaid the most famous? Because after Cang Xiong killed the mermaid with his own hands, Cang Lan severed ties with her father and disappeared from the world's sight until five hundred years ago when Cang Lan rode the Sacred Beast Flying Fish into the Vast Academy, shocking the entire Azure Dragon Continent.
Besides the tragic human-animal love story of Cang Lan, there are of course some beautiful human-animal love stories as well. However, sad stories tend to spread more widely than beautiful ones. In addition, due to Cang Lan's status and position, it is naturally easier for everyone to notice and talk about her.
"But then again, this Li Gongfu is a bit strange. I always feel like he has some ulterior motive," a cultivator said suspiciously, stroking his beard.
"Did you guys notice that the fire inside the house was a bit strange? It spontaneously combusted without anything being there, and the fire vanished the moment White Lady came out. It seemed like it was targeting White Lady and Xiao Qing." Many cultivators had questions, and once the conversation started, they all shared their opinions.
"Didn't you see Xu Xian's expression just now? He was so frightened by Xiao Qing's true form that he fainted. Maybe Xu Xian didn't even know they were snake spirits?"
"That's right. On the contrary, I think Li Gongfu must have sensed something, which is why he targeted White Lady and Xiao Qing. He might even have started the fire in the house earlier."
"This Li Gongfu's cultivation level is unfathomable!"
"I increasingly feel that he is a spiritual practitioner in our world."
"..."
Ma Feifei inside was naturally unaware that the readers outside were now focusing their attention on him. After he Sheer Force pushed the plot forward, Xu Xian had already discovered the identities of the Green and White Snakes ahead of time. Now, all that was needed was for Xu Xian to go to Fahai, and then the task would be almost complete.
To Ma Feifei's dismay, Xu Xian and White Lady arrived hand in hand during dinner that evening, with Xiao Qing following behind, as if nothing had happened.
This puzzled Ma Feifei greatly! Xu Xian clearly saw the Green Snake's true form, so why did his face show no unusual expression other than some fatigue?
Moreover, there was nothing unusual about the faces of the white snake and the green snake, which left Ma Feifei completely baffled.
That evening, Ma Feifei ate a tasteless dinner amidst these doubts, and after returning to his room, Ma Feifei remained lost in thought.
Around midnight, Ma Feifei felt someone knocking on the door. She got up and opened it, only to find Xu Xian standing suspiciously outside.
"Brother-in-law, something's happened." Xu Xian grabbed Ma Feifei's arm, looking very anxious.
"Huh?" Ma Feifei looked confused.
"Brother-in-law, there's a monster!" Xu Xian said in a panic.
Ma Feifei was secretly delighted, but kept a straight face and asked, "What kind of monster?"
"Xiao Qing is a snake spirit! I saw it with my own eyes in the courtyard this afternoon." Xu Xian was so nervous that he could hardly speak, and his hands, which were gripping Ma Feifei, were trembling.
"Then what are you waiting for? Go find a master to subdue the demon!" Ma Feifei also pretended to be anxious and urged. If Xu Xian could go directly to Fahai, the ending would be perfect.
Xu Xian shook his head and said, "No, brother-in-law, my wife is being controlled by Xiao Qing. If I go to find a master for help, she will kill her."
Ma Feifei was speechless upon hearing this. This plot was all wrong! How could the White Snake be threatened by the Green Snake? They were clearly in cahoots!
It's obvious that Xu Xian was tricked by the White Snake and Green Snake working together.
"Then why did you come to tell me?" Ma Feifei asked curiously. Since Xiao Qing used the white snake to threaten Xu Xian, and Xu Xian was worried about the white snake's safety and refused to ask anyone for help, why did she come to him? Wouldn't it have been better to just keep this secret to herself?
"I can't, but you can, brother-in-law!" Without waiting for Ma Feifei's reaction, Cassiopeia, clasped his hands together, and bowed, saying, "Please, brother-in-law, save my wife."
"..." Ma Feifei was speechless. This Xu Xian must be out of his mind. He actually thought that the White Snake was being threatened by the Green Snake and wanted to free the White Snake from the water and fire.
"Okay, you go back first, and your brother-in-law will figure something out later." Ma Feifei comforted Xu Xian, pushed him out the door, and then closed the door, too lazy to pay him any more attention.
"Please, brother-in-law!" Xu Xian called out from outside the door before leaving.
After hearing Xu Xian's footsteps fade into the distance, Ma Feifei, who had been sitting by the door, went inside and sat down at the small round table, beginning to ponder how to complete the next task.
First of all, Ma Feifei has given up on the plan to rely on Xu Xian to bring down White Lady. Just like in the original story, this guy is simple-minded and won't give up until he sees the true form of the White Snake with his own eyes. So Ma Feifei can only look for other methods.
"That's right! I can go find Fahai myself!" Ma Feifei slapped his thigh, suddenly realizing.
Although the system stipulates that he cannot use force, it doesn't say that he can't participate in the plot! Who Fahai has to be sought out by Xu Xian? As long as it's confirmed that the Green and White Snakes are demons, then anyone can ask Fahai for help. Besides, didn't Xu Xian just ask Ma Feifei for help? Helping him find Fahai can also be considered helping!
Thinking of this, Ma Feifei didn't even bother to sleep. He got dressed and ran outside.
