Leng Qing and Tang Yue's Plea for Help

"Older Brother, you were so domineering just now~"

Ye Xinxia linked arms with Cheng Xiaoyu, walking briskly down the road, a joyful smile blooming on her pretty face.

She had long wanted to teach that Liu Yilin a lesson. He kept bothering her, but she couldn't let her carefully crafted image crumble.

"I won't allow my sister to be troubled in love. Besides, I can tell you don't like him."

Cheng Xiaoyu suppressed a flicker of annoyance in his heart and ruffled Ye Xinxia's head. He wasn't sure why he felt this way... it was just a brother's possessiveness!

"No matter what, finding a boyfriend must go through my strict screening. If I say no, it's no!"

"So domineering..."

Ye Xinxia puffed out her cheeks and hugged his arm even tighter. Her full chest pressed against him, but her heart was filled with sweetness. She actually liked her brother being like this.

"Alright, I've booked a table at a restaurant and a hotel too. Since we're here in Hangcheng, we should have a good few days. We'll go to Modu afterwards."

"Okay, I'll listen to you, Older Brother!"

Afterward, the two arrived at the reserved restaurant and enjoyed their time alone.

Suddenly, Cheng Xiaoyu froze. A cold sweat broke out on his back, and he whipped his head around to look out the floor-to-ceiling window at a nondescript building in the darkness.

No, this feeling... that can't be just a building!

"Oh my god, what is that... what is that?!"

"It's a demon... a demon?!"

"How is this possible? A demon this massive appearing in the center of Hangcheng? Where's the City Demon Hunter Squad?"

"Run... run quickly!"

Inside the restaurant, a wave of panicked noise erupted. They screamed in terror.

The once intimate restaurant instantly transformed into a chaotic place filled with cries and screams, everyone's eyes filled with profound fear.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling window, the tall building suddenly writhed. A colossal head met the restaurant's gaze.

A pair of triangular eyes shone brightly, glittering like spotlights installed atop a commercial building.

This brightness wasn't vibrant, but rather an eerie and terrifying luminescence that pierced the depths of one's heart!

Its head and neck were almost connected. The neck bulged outwards, like a giant hood. The overall color was black, but under the neon lights, faint scale patterns could be seen!

The dark silhouette stared straight ahead. In fact, with its binocular vision, it was likely gazing at the entire building, completely unable to see the people inside the floor-to-ceiling windows.

The restaurant was in an uproar. It wasn't just the ordinary people who had never seen a demon before; even the mages who had encountered them were covered in goosebumps by the sight.

This... this is actually a snake! Its strength must be at the Monarch level. What is happening to this world? I never heard Hangcheng was this unsafe!

Cheng Xiaoyu was stunned, but his reaction speed was still sharp. He grabbed Ye Xinxia and fled the restaurant, moving faster than the panicked crowd.

He wasn't an idiot. Standing his ground to fight this snake would be pure stupidity.

By the next day, the incident of a giant demon appearing in downtown Hangcheng was already a hot topic online. Despite the official's rather weak explanation, the citizens couldn't accept it.

Cheng Xiaoyu thought the heat surrounding the event would continue, but after a few days, people calmed down. Although the authorities were handling it behind the scenes, he still thought people were too carefree.

However, due to this incident, West Lake was temporarily sealed off. This meant there weren't many places to visit, leaving him and his sister confined to the hotel.

Fortunately, Ye Xinxia was very well-behaved and didn't throw a tantrum. She even seemed quite happy...

"Xinxia, I'm sorry. I didn't expect something like this to happen in Hangcheng."

"It's okay. I'm content just being with you, Older Brother."

Ye Xinxia put down her phone and climbed from her bed onto Cheng Xiaoyu's, curling her delicate body into his warm embrace.

A complex look flashed in Cheng Xiaoyu's eyes. His hand paused mid-air before finally stroking his sister's head and saying softly, "How about this? We'll go on a trip during the summer vacation. What do you say to the beach?"

"Okay! I've never been to the beach before!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Xinxia's pretty face immediately lit up with a smile. She was already imagining herself in a bikini on the beach, watching her Older Brother stare blankly.

Just as she was thinking about travel plans, a call came through.

"Sister Leng Qing, what's up?"

"You know about the incident in Hangcheng, right? Senior Sister needs your help. If possible, can you and Lingling come over before tonight?"

Leng Qing's tone sounded very serious, indicating she was likely in a hurry.

"I know about that giant snake. I happen to be in Hangcheng with my sister..."

Cheng Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment, then looked down at his sister in his arms. Ye Xinxia smiled and nodded at him.

Sigh, what an understanding sister. He felt a little bad. He'd make it up to her later!

"Okay, I'll be there shortly."

"Mhm, sorry to bother you. Senior Sister will compensate you."

Leaving the hotel, Cheng Xiaoyu followed the GPS to the edge of West Lake. He immediately spotted two beautiful figures – Leng Qing and Tang Yue.

Both women were dressed in the attire of Judges. Their uniforms clung to their voluptuous figures, accentuating their graceful curves, while their long legs showcased their tall stature.

"Sister Leng Qing, Sister Tang Yue."

Hearing this, Leng Qing and Tang Yue saw Cheng Xiaoyu walking over and quickly stepped forward to express their concern. Although they had exchanged greetings over the phone, it was different from seeing him in person.

"Don't worry, I told you I'm fine."

"But I'm still worried about you. How could those people do such a thing, attacking a group of unsuspecting students? People like that should go to hell!"

Hearing Tang Yue's words, even if Leng Qing had a different opinion on the matter, if it involved people close to her, she would definitely harbor great resentment towards those higher-ups.

For someone like her, if the victim were a stranger, she probably wouldn't be so angry, perhaps casually calling it an accident.

Alas, this is human nature. In any case, she didn't deny her double standards...

"I'm still standing here in one piece... By the way, tell me why you called me here first. I'm quite curious."

Cheng Xiaoyu couldn't resist the concern from the two older sisters and changed the subject.

Hearing this, Tang Yue's expression suddenly became dejected. She then truthfully explained the entire matter.

After listening, Cheng Xiaoyu nodded in realization. So that giant snake had such a profound origin. This world actually had creatures called Totem Beasts. He had only seen them in ancient books before.

"So the urgent matter is to prove the snake's innocence, right?"

"Yes, there's a meeting later. Let's go there first."

Immediately, the three of them rushed to the Lingyin Temple Tribunal. Leng Lingling had also arrived in Hangcheng. The moment she saw Cheng Xiaoyu, she pounced on him.

"Hmph, if you make me worry again, I'll stomp you to death!"

"That's disgusting..."

"Not at all, I hate you!"

Cheng Xiaoyu sighed, blocked Leng Lingling's twin-tail attack, and roughly ruffled her little head.

"Let's go, we're going in."

Before they could enter the conference room, a rough, angry shout came from within.

"The person is already dead, and you're still protecting that venomous snake? I'm not here from the Magic Court to discuss with you, but to eliminate the hidden danger in West Lake and restore peace to Hangcheng. You'd better hand over the Totem Black Serpent quickly for us to deal with!"

Who the heck is that? Such a short temper, did they eat gunpowder?
