A Proper Snake Keeps a Diary (Please Vote)

P.S.: Thanks to everyone who tipped and voted. I received a fifty-yuan tip today—the kid was so excited he cried.

"Early Summer, Zhaoyang 38th Year. Today is the fifth day of the fifth month.

Well, I got the exact date from a piece of Evil Remains. God knows whether it was accurate. Writing it like this was such a pain, so I calculated it by date instead. Let's call it May 5th.

Well, I was going to keep a diary. Though what decent person kept a diary? But I wasn't a person—I was a snake. Actually, I didn't want to keep a diary either. It was just that I had eaten a little too much lately, causing my Spiritual Light to grow too quickly and become too vast, making it difficult to control.

So I had to find a way to finely control every strand of my Spiritual Light. Hmm... writing on Evil Bones with Spiritual Light seemed like a pretty good method.

Every strand of Spiritual Light had to be engraved onto the Evil Bones just right. I couldn't damage the overall structure of the Evil Bones, yet I also had to meticulously remove the Evil Qi from the characters. It really was effective for training Spiritual Light control. Hmm... I had to say, I really was one smart snake.

Also: While writing this diary entry, I snapped eighteen Evil Bones. Hmm... I couldn't help giving Da Sha a beating."

"May 6th. Those bastards at Dragon-Raising Temple actually didn't drop the Evil Remains on time. What a waste of my lordship's waiting.

I seemed to be starving so badly it had gone to my head. Luckily, I secretly followed San Sha and found where he hid his food. Hmm... it was actually in a pond. That fool had a little wisdom after all."

"May 7th. Maybe everyone at Dragon-Raising Temple was dead, or why hadn't they dropped any Evil Remains yet? I wasn't in the mood to write a diary today, so that was that.

Also: I couldn't help giving Da Sha another beating today."

"May 8th. So hungry today. Don't feel like writing."

"May 9th. Hungry!"

"May 10th. I've already passed the point of hunger."

"May 12th. Not only did I suspect that I might have forgotten to write yesterday's diary, I also seriously suspected whether Dragon-Raising Temple had really gone to hell?"

"May 13th. Yesterday's suspicion has deepened threefold."

"May 14th. Are those baldies dead? They're dead, right? They must be dead, right?"

"May 15th. Today, I followed San Sha. He warmly entertained me. Hmm, I'm full.

Also: I gave Da Sha another beating today. Have I been hitting this kid a little too often lately?"

"May 20th... Today should be the 20th, right? I'd forgotten how many days I hadn't written in my diary. Anyway, the good news was that those bastards at Dragon-Raising Temple had finally remembered that there were Spiritual Serpents in Snake Abyss that needed feeding. If they hadn't dropped Evil Remains soon, I really would have thought Dragon-Raising Temple had been wiped out.

To be honest, I had originally planned to take all the Evil Remains for myself... But to keep the other Spiritual Serpents from starving to death, I reluctantly ate a quarter of them... Uh, sorry, I ate too much and got a little stuffed.

I saw San Sha hiding food again. I secretly memorized several locations.

With plenty of Evil Remains, the Spiritual Light within me began surging again. Unfortunately, my two physical attributes and my physical defense had become difficult to improve further. Protecting the Residence had little effect, and the items obtained through Exorcism and Blessing had achieved scant results as well.

It was all because the Evil Remains Dragon-Raising Temple dropped this time were such poor quality.

Still, there was good news.

From the memories of one Evil Remains, I learned that Dragon-Raising Temple recently planned to open the seal of Snake Abyss and send people inside to cultivate.

Hmm... I had to find a way to hide, preferably taking the chance to enter the second level.

Speaking of entering the second level, based on San Sha and the others' descriptions, I pieced together that aside from Dragon-Raising Temple actively opening it, the other method required a Spiritual Python to surpass ten meters. Only then would the entrance seal temporarily open and send the Spiritual Python into the second level.

Apparently, this was called Dragon Leap!

San Sha and the others were still a little lacking. I had to hurry up and cultivate them.

Also: I didn't know where Da Sha had gone today. Since I couldn't find him, I gave Er Sha a beating instead. I couldn't bear to hit San Sha."

"May 21st. Still beating Er Sha."

"May 22nd. Sleepy. Want to sleep. Finish things off with a beating for Er Sha."

"May 23rd. Da Sha seemed to be back. His body had actually grown a little, though he still hadn't passed ten meters. But beating Er Sha had become second nature, so I gave him another beating today."

"May 24th. I digested a small portion of the Evil Remains. My Spiritual Light was already nearing seven thousand, and the limits of both physical attributes were approaching one hundred. I felt like I was about to shed again."

"May 25th. As expected, my premonition was accurate. The signs of shedding were growing more and more obvious. These past few days, I'd been terribly drowsy and couldn't stop myself from getting sleepy. But I still had to endure it. Neither my Spiritual Light nor my physical attributes had reached their peak; there was still room to go further. I absolutely couldn't choose to shed now."

"May 26th. I suppressed the signs of shedding, and the drowsiness eased. I was a little excited. As expected, I could control shedding to a certain extent.

Also: I was in a good mood, so I couldn't help giving Er Sha a beating."

"May 27th. Er Sha actually ran off today? Had this foolish kid finally learned his lesson? I casually gave Da Sha, whom I hadn't beaten in a long time, a beating instead."

"May 28th. Hungry, but Dragon-Raising Temple still hadn't dropped new Evil Remains. Luckily, I remembered where San Sha hid his food. Wonderful, I was full again.

Also: I held myself back and held myself back, and in the end, I didn't go beat San Sha. This kid had suffered enough already."

"May 29th. Da Sha and Er Sha, a mixed doubles beating. One against two, a complete victory!"

"May 30th. San Sha actually secretly ate all the food he had hidden. How could I tolerate that! That was my food. I couldn't help giving him a beating... Hmm, that felt good. San Sha's feel wasn't bad, either."

"May 31st... Today, Dragon-Raising Temple started feeding us Evil Remains again..."

Smack~

Su Qingqiu tossed an Evil Bone aside. Where he lived, Evil Bones of all sizes already lay packed densely across the ground.

All these Evil Bones had been inscribed with his Spiritual Light and written upon in Chinese characters. Without Su Qingqiu's permission through his Spiritual Light, no one else could read them.

Even if someone did manage to read them, those heavenly-book-like Chinese characters were not something the humans of Tai Xuan World could decipher.

Moreover, before long, Su Qingqiu would swallow these Evil Bones as food.

So there was no need to worry about being exposed at all.

"Once I get stronger, I could try writing some stories about the various Spiritual Serpents and Evil Remains of Snake Abyss. I could write them in this world's script and secretly spread them around. With my knowledge, what I write would surely be very appealing to others, wouldn't it?"

Su Qingqiu pondered in secret.

He wouldn't be able to leave Snake Abyss anytime soon, but since he had come to this world, letting his thoughts and ideas spread through it would not be a bad way to prove that he had once been here.

Of course, exactly how to do it still required further consideration.

"What matters most now is still the Evil Remains. I'm not far from my next shedding, so I must use a stronger piece of Evil Remains as my foundation."

"I hope this delivery will be more worthwhile."

Thinking this, Su Qingqiu waited for roughly another two hours.

Sure enough, Dragon-Raising Temple dropped a great many Evil Remains once more. Yet among those Evil Remains, Su Qingqiu distinctly saw a person!

Hmm... it was actually a living person?

What was going on?

Had Dragon-Raising Temple gone mad and started dropping living people to feed the Spiritual Serpents?
