Although she still doesn't know this.

Luo Mang, however, was not born knowing how to absorb the essence of the sun and moon; he only suddenly realized it many years later.

The memory he had from birth was that he had to find the person he was meant to protect.

He didn't know who he was protecting. He only knew that such a person existed in the world, and that this was his life's mission.

That year, while recuperating in the mountains, he encountered Yin Huan, and his clouded mind suddenly cleared. He immediately knew that the most important person in his life had appeared.

Luo Mang had actually cultivated into human form hundreds of years ago. However, after meeting Yin Huan, he saw that she was inherently hostile to humans, so he maintained his original form and lived with her.

After entering the demon prison, he wasn't imprisoned like the demons in the neighboring cells because of his demon core. Therefore, he was still able to transform into a human body.

"Big brother... how can you be human?" Silver Ring was shocked, completely failing to understand the painstaking effort Luo Mang had put into transforming into human form.

Right now, her whole little head was filled with the fear that her older brother wasn't a snake, wasn't a snake...

Silver Ring stared wide-eyed at the human in front of her, looking him over and over again, as if trying to confirm something.

A moment later, anger flared in her eyes. She swung her tail and, without a word, lashed it hard at Luo Mang's calf.

"What kind of monster dares to turn my brother into a human? Turn him back right now, or... I'll bite you to death!" Silver Ring threatened viciously, revealing two shiny little teeth.

"......"

Luo Mang sensed a deep malice from God.

He lowered his head, looking at his silly little sister. A herd of grazing alpacas rushed through his mind, and the naturally sinister eyes of a snake were filled with deep helplessness.

Luo Mang felt his future was bleak. He sighed and said, "Yinhuan, I am the eldest brother."

Silver Ring blinked, a look of confusion in her eyes.

Yes, that's my older brother's voice. And the scent on him is unique to him.

Could it be... that this human is really the eldest brother?

Thinking of this, Silver Ring's mind raced. The doubt in the snake's eyes immediately turned into admiration.

My brother is amazing; he can actually disguise himself as a human.

"Big brother, big brother, you're amazing! Teach me, teach me... I want to disguise myself as a human too. That way I won't be afraid of being caught and cooked by humans when I go out."

...Luo Mang continued to feel depressed.

He exhaled, then exhaled again, and then exhaled once more...

Then, he grinned, forcing an extremely ugly smile, and patiently said, "Little sister, the reason I can become human is because I am a demon. As long as you cultivate diligently, sooner or later you will also be able to shed your snake form and transform into a human."

"Cultivation..."

Upon hearing the word "cultivation" again, Yin Huan felt a sudden jolt in her heart, as if something inside her was about to explode.

She looked up, somewhat confused, and asked, "Brother, what is cultivation? That day, the eagle that threw me into the river said the same thing to me. It also told me to cultivate diligently. But what exactly is cultivation?"

Luo Mang heard that Yin Huan had finally grasped the key to the problem. His eyes flashed with joy, and he immediately began to explain to Yin Huan: "All things in the world have a spirit. Heaven is fair and has left a way out for us beasts. Among hundreds of beasts, there will be one demon who can cultivate by using the essence of the sun and moon."

Luo Mang paused, then continued, "Every demon has its own way of cultivating. I don't know if my method will work for you, but listen carefully. After you've listened, try cultivating on your own. Calm your mind and look at your snake gall. When the snake gall can be clearly visualized in your mind, then you've taken the first step on the path of cultivation. From now on, spend more time basking in the sun and moon, absorbing their essence and transforming it into the power you need, infusing it into your snake gall and your entire body..."

Taking advantage of Yin Huan's interest, Luo Mang seized the opportunity and told her all his cultivation methods in one go.

Yin Huan tilted her little head and listened quietly to Luo Mang.

After he finished speaking, Silver Ring raised her head and said with great surprise, "I understand. The first step is to look at your own snake gall, right? That's too simple... I already knew how to do that. But what is the essence of the sun and moon? I bask in the sun and moon every day, but I haven't felt anything about it."

Luo Mang looked at the puzzled silver ring and was speechless.

Damn it, what do you mean by not feeling this thing?!

Aren't you absorbing the essence of the sun and moon every day? The reason I've cultivated so quickly is because you've drawn in too much of that essence, leaving some for me...
