Twin Snakes

"Hey, second brother, did you get the signal?"

"I'm coming in."

I'm here.

"The master has already given the instructions; Third Master, you may come in at any time."

A charming and melodious voice rang out.

"Hey, who are you?"

"I am my master's maid; you may call me Liuniang."

"Holy crap, Second Brother's been living this extravagant life overseas, even keeping maids? Liuniang, are you the sixth maid?"

"No, Third Young Master. Our Zheng Family Garden has over a hundred maids, and I'm number one."

Behind the sign for the Underworld Bureau, Chen Xiaosan gasped.

You, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, I never knew you were this kind of person!

You've actually gone overseas to build a harem! I'm going to give you a good scolding!

As the two communicated, streams of Yin Qi shot out from the Underworld Bureau's Token, then transformed into surging Ghost Qi. The Ghost Qi gathered and turned into a Golden Core. Then, with the Golden Core as the core, the Yin Qi began to form a human shape, transforming into a human-shaped blue-faced ghost. Subsequently, the "Exit Yin and Enter Yang" technique was activated, and it transformed into a young man in his twenties.

At first glance, his features appear handsome, but when combined with his darting, shifty eyes, he suddenly looks lewd.

As soon as Chen Xiaosan appeared, he was stunned by the extravagance of Zheng Family Garden.

Pavilions, terraces, waterside pavilions, gardens, rockeries, and all sorts of flowers and plants that Chen Xiaosan didn't recognize but looked very expensive were everywhere, stretching as far as the eye could see.

In addition, maids walked around the garden, their figures graceful and their steps light, like figures from a painting.

Chen Xiaosan narrowed his eyes slightly; these foreign ladies exuded such a strong aura of deathly remnants.

"Third Young Master, I am Liuniang."

Chen Xiaosan turned his head, looked at the beautiful woman, his expression changed slightly, and he took a step back.

To others, she is a stunning beauty in period costume.

But in Chen Xiaosan's eyes, it was a humanoid ghost made of snake corpses.

That seemingly graceful body was actually pieced together from countless snake corpses. Snake scales and bones were faintly visible under the skin. Those slender fingers were individual snake bones, those smiling eyes were a pair of snake pupils, and that full head of black hair was made up of long, thin snake bodies.

She was like a meticulously stitched-together snake-corpse puppet, exuding a strong aura of mortal decay.

Chen Xiaosan had seen many ghosts, but the one in front of him was one of the most terrifying.

Where is my second brother?

Chen Xiaosan warned.

"Master is practicing magic in the backyard. Third Young Master, you must be tired from your long journey. Would you like to rest in the backyard first, or go see Master first?"

"I need to see my second brother first."

Chen Xiaosan immediately replied.

Is this some kind of ghost sighting in broad daylight? Did he get the location wrong?

But these female ghosts are really pretty, hehe.

Chen Xiaosan looked around furtively with his shifty eyes.

His expression quickly changed again. He rubbed his eyes in disbelief. What did he see? He saw a giant snake!

The snake's corpse was hundreds of feet long, like a sleeping hill. Its body was as thick as a palace pillar, with layers upon layers of scales, each gleaming with a dark, iron-gray luster. Its head was held high, maintaining a majestic and ferocious posture even in death.

A thick layer of Ghost Qi coiled around the snake's body, flowing slowly like black mist and enveloping the entire snake corpse.

And sitting cross-legged on the snake's head was his beloved second brother.

Chen Xiaosan's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly turned his head, only to find that apart from him, no other living person in the garden had "seen" this scene.

The two Zheng Family Garden have become two distinct worlds, yet they are also intertwined.

"Ghost Haunt!"

Liuniang looked at her master's brother with surprise.

"Young Master has a good eye; it's Ghost Haunt indeed."

"Ahem, don't call me Third Young Master anymore. The name sounds like someone who's good with a sword. When my Boss Gu, comes over, you can call him Third Young Master."

"On another note, isn't it said that Nanyang is full of devils? What kind of monstrosities is this huge bunch that my second brother is raising?"

In Chen Xiaosan's eyes, the Ghost Qi of this Ghost Haunt grew increasingly turbulent, as if it not only covered this garden, but also the distant mountains and waters, all shrouded in this thick black mist.

This feeling was quite similar to the few thousand-year-old ghost kings he had encountered.

Where did Third Brother find such a powerful ghost corpse?

And how is this thing controlled?

Even a powerful figure like a judge in the Underworld Bureau might not be able to defeat a thousand-year-old ghost, let alone raise one.

However, Hu Mang doesn't have time to answer this question right now.

He is currently activating the Heavenly Devil Field with all his might to evolve the Snake Vein.

In Chen Xiaosan's eyes, it was a human and a snake.

But in the Heavenly Devil Field, two ancient pythons were entangled together.

The giant python phantom formed from the Divine Sense of the Hu Mang intertwined, strangled, and merged with the corpse of the thousand-year-old demon snake underground.

The scales of the two pythons rubbed against each other, making a piercing sound; the two consciousnesses collided, probed, and devoured each other, like two ferocious beasts fighting for territory.

However, the two pythons soon went from a territorial dispute to a more ambiguous one.

The two True Disciples of the Divine Sword Sect were quite generous, not even removing the snake's gall bladder, so they naturally didn't need the female snake's yin and lustful energy.

So, with just a little provocation, the Hu Mang snake took the bait.

Thankfully, it's a female snake; if it were a male... the Hu Mang would have had no choice but to sacrifice its beauty.

As the snake's eyes gradually became hazy, the Hu Mang activated the Heavenly Devil Field to arouse its opponent's lust while simultaneously manipulating its snake body using the Twelve Heavens of Yin-Yang Coupling. However, under the influence of the Vajra Bodhicitta, its own eyes became increasingly clear.

Then, he pressed his palms down hard on the snake's head, unleashing the full power of the Dragon Eye from the "Dragon-Shaped Meridian Diagram".

The Hu Mang vanished completely, replaced by a pair of burning vertical pupils.

Those vertical pupils hovered in the void, like two golden flames, with faint, intricate patterns slowly flowing deep within them, as mysterious as dragon patterns.

The Dragon Eye he condensed using the "Dragon-Shaped Meridian Diagram" is now using himself as a guide to infuse the evolution of the Dragon Eye into the Snake Vein.

And that was Hu Mang's entire plan.

He intends to use his "Dragon Eye" to help this Snake Vein cultivate Dragon Eye.

Since I don't have the bloodline of the demon serpent, then I'll do the opposite and let the other party have the Dragon Eye.

In this way, I will have two pairs of Dragon Eye.

Moreover, the "Dragon-Shaped Meridian Diagram" involves the profound and complex changes of Dragon Vein, which can further transform Snake Vein.

This is ten times more effective than Liu Wuniang stealing the dynasty's Fortune; this is a genuine immortal Immortal Method.

One of the Five Immortals' Immortal Method.

Next, the aptitude of this Snake Vein will be tested.

As it turned out, this thousand-year-old snake corpse was of exceptionally high quality.

The snake's upright eyes gradually lost their mating desire and instead opened wider and wider. The vertical pupil began to cover the entire snake eye, leaving only pure black.

Then, the center of the snake's eye began to split open.

A dark golden light shone through the crack, like the rising sun tearing through the darkness; the light grew brighter and brighter, and the snake's eyes slowly opened, revealing a pair of brand-new pupils.

Within the Ghost Haunt, the Snake Vein began to slowly undulate.

Its body was no longer a stiff corpse, but seemed to have regained its vitality, with a faint rubbing sound between its scales, like a living creature moving through the soil.

The snake slowly raised its head, and its newly formed Dragon Eye scanned the surroundings. Wherever its gaze fell, the Yin Qi and Ghost Qi from the ground retreated as if in submission. The snake's body began to slowly stretch out, and its original coiled posture gradually changed, extending deeper into the earth, as if it wanted to carve out a new Dragon Vein path that belonged to it beneath this land.

A Yin-Yang Node.

Two Yin-Yang Node.

Three Yin-Yang Node.

Four Yin-Yang Node.

Four Yin-Yang Node evolved along with the snake marks—no, they should be called dragon marks.

Unlike "Artificial Yin-Yang Node," these natural Yin-Yang Node can be placed in different locations.

And not just the Underworld.

In a sense, this thing is similar to a portal in a game.

According to the "Theory of On Tribulation Dao Qi Meridians," it is...

The Ghost Dragon lies hidden in the earth, its veins flowing through the dark soil, and wherever it passes, yin and yang converge.

The Old Third, witnessing this scene, stared wide-eyed, his mouth agape.

"Oh, you're here."

Upon seeing Chen Xiaosan, Hu Mang, having finished channeling his energy, greeted him.

Holy crap, what am I seeing!?

A Ghost Dragon Vein!

A dragon Dragon Vein born in Ghost Haunt!!

That's not right.

Chen Xiaosan finally came to his senses and immediately leaned closer, saying furtively:

"Damn, second brother, you're raising Private Dragon? Isn't that illegal in Heavenly Gate?"

"Excuse me, where is this place?"

"Isn't this Nanyang, overseas?"

"You're using the laws of Heavenly Gate to govern the Java Dragon Vein of Java?"

"Oh, right!"

Chen Xiaosan finally realized that they were overseas.

Keeping Private Dragon overseas isn't illegal... right?!

"No, second brother, then you've still broken the rules of the Underworld Bureau, haven't you?"

"Then may I ask, am I a permanent employee of the Underworld Bureau or a temporary worker? Which rule of the Underworld Bureau did I break?"

The Hu Mang jumped down from the snake's head and waved its hand.

The Ghost Dragon Vein and the Ghost Zheng Family Garden began to dissipate visibly.

Hu Mang looked the Old Third up and down.

"They haven't even paid for your insurance, yet you seem quite loyal?"

"I'm leaving, come over for some tea."

Chen Xiaosan finally realized what was happening, and looking at Hu Mang's back, he slapped himself across the face.

Depend on!

Why should a temporary worker like me care about so much? How despicable!

Soon, Chen Xiaosan, having regained his senses, followed Hu Mang eagerly, sighing with various emotions.

"Second brother, you're living the life of a god overseas!"

"Second brother, I heard that you can marry eight wives here, is that true?"

"Second brother, if I join your gang, will you give me a wife?"

"Second brother, how come you're doing so well overseas? Didn't you say you came here to work as a laborer?"

While dealing with the Old Third, Hu Mang sensed the Ghost Dragon Vein flowing underground. Deep in his pupils, a thin golden line, as fine as a hair, could be faintly seen, like a miniature dragon shadow coiled within it.

He realized that he seemed to have been practicing incorrectly.

The "Dragon-Shaped Meridian Diagram" doesn't seem to be for people to practice, but rather for "Dragon Vein" to practice.
