A tranquil valley, with babbling brooks, birdsong, and fragrant flowers. Terraced fields stretch from the mountainside down to the stream, and the aroma of ripening rice fills the air.

In a farmhouse courtyard at the foot of the mountain, beneath the old roots of a banyan tree, Yin Huan sat cross-legged with her eyes gently closed, her fair face shimmering with a jade-like light. Behind her, a colossal python, its tail swishing, leisurely coiled on the old banyan tree. At a small table under the shade of the tree, Luo Mang sat with his legs crossed, holding a cup of fragrant tea, his eyes half-closed as he took a leisurely sip.

That day, Luo Mang took Yin Huan away from the sea and went straight back to the snake breeding base outside Fushan Town. After all, the Green Python was still refining its power there, and Yin Huan also needed to find a quiet place to integrate the power of the previous generation's female spirit into her body.

Since Jiu Yuanqing's snake breeding base has been able to stand here for thousands of years without any unexpected incidents, this place must be the safest place.

"It's been half a month, why hasn't Yinhuan woken up yet?" The giant python on the treetop flicked its tail twice, its snake eyes falling on the little figure below, a hint of worry in its eyes.

“It won’t be that fast. Back then, most of Nu Hui’s power was extracted by Tengshe. Even if that power returns, refining it won’t be something that can be done in a short time.” Luo Mang put down his teacup, looked up at the green python, and asked, “When will you be able to shed your beast form?”

The green python suddenly stopped its tail-swinging motion and said angrily, "Who knows?"

Since achieving success in its cultivation, the green python had never been in such a sorry state.

Despite being able to speak, he is unable to transform back into human form. His demonic energy seems to be imprisoned, and no matter how he tries to mobilize it, it cannot be shaken in the slightest. This directly results in him being able to move around only in beast form.

The power of the Teng Snake was not something that ordinary demons could absorb. One-third of the Teng Snake's power had already put him in such a predicament. Even with the help of Luo Mang's blood, problems still arose.

It took him five days to completely integrate the power of the serpent into his body. But after the integration, he found that he had been forced into a beast form.

This situation was very strange; neither he nor Luo Mang knew what was going on. The Green Python clearly knew that the power within its body was stronger than before, but it couldn't mobilize it.

"I'm hungry, go get me something to eat," the green python commanded Luo Mang, raising its head.

These past few days, he's been getting hungry incredibly fast; his digestive system seems to be on steroids. A whole black goat can only keep him full for two hours. He knows this is a side effect of merging with the power of the Teng Snake, but he can't control it.

Luo Mang glanced at the green python: "Go hunt it yourself."

The green python stared at him, stretched out its tail in front of Luo Mang and shook it, looking like he wanted to be beaten, and said: "You are sure you want me to go, okay, then I'll go... It's none of my business to scare people."

With his current size, even larger than the snake in Anaconda, if he went out, he would surely terrify the people working in the fields.

Because his power was sealed, he had no way to adjust his demonic form. At this moment, his beast form was his true demonic form. His head was as big as an ox, his waist as big as a water bucket, and he was nearly ten meters long. This form... let alone humans, even ordinary demons would tremble with fear at the sight of him.

Luo Mang gritted his teeth, wishing he could throw the guy out of the courtyard. He jumped up from the chair, stretched out his foot, stomped hard on the snake's tail beside his leg, snorted coldly, and stepped out of the courtyard.

That damned green python, it's taking him less and less seriously now, even daring to order him around.

Hmph, just wait. Once he recovers, he'll enslave him for as long as he can command him.

Hunting, hunting... damn hunting.

At his rate of eating ten meals a day, if he continues like this, he'll eat all the large living creatures in the nearby mountains.

Tch, you think you can eat a lot? I'll go buy you ten pigs right now...

Luo Mang has been driven crazy by the green python lately. He really doesn't want to find food for the green python, but he also knows that the green python is not suitable to leave Jiu Yuanqing's residence at the moment.

Damn it, if he had known this would happen, he shouldn't have felt guilty and shared a third of his strength. He meant well but did something wrong, and ended up exhausting himself.

Watching Luo Mang leave, the green python chuckled sinisterly twice.

If I don't take this opportunity to get revenge, I'll be doing myself a disservice.

Just because you're a Tengshe doesn't mean you're so great. What are you going to do? You still have to obey his orders... If you want to escape his grasp, you'd better train your brain first.

Luo Mang left the courtyard and headed towards town. He decided to buy a pig for the green python.

Not long after he left, Luo Mang saw an old man carrying a hoe and with a cigarette in his mouth walking over from the side path.

Luo Mang's eyes lit up, and he immediately called out to the old man.

"Young man, what's the matter?" the old man asked, exhaling a mouthful of smoke.

Luo Mang: "Grandpa, do you have any pigs to sell?"

Luo Mang was determined to buy the pigs.

Old man: "You're a pig buyer? I've never seen you before."

In the countryside, it's always the same people coming and going. Farmers like them usually have pigs bought by acquaintances, so the old man was a bit suspicious when a stranger suddenly appeared to buy his pigs. These days, even the countryside isn't safe; there are always strangers scouting the area during the day and stealing things at night. Over time, everyone has become more wary of strangers.

Jiu Yuanqing's snake farm is very famous in this area, so famous that it's extremely safe. Even thieves don't bother with it.

Therefore, Jiu Yuanqing has been missing in this area for almost a year, yet he has still not been found. Not only that, but the residents in the vicinity didn't even know that the courtyard had changed hands.
