Yan Shiying only breathed a sigh of relief after she managed to grab the two bulges on the snake.
Once Yan Shiying was seated, the giant snake began to carry her upwards.
Wow, this is so much fun!
"Don't you even know who brought you along?"
"They are the Orochi brothers."
Zuo Qingya and the others watched from below, seeing it flying quite high. Gradually, Zuo Qingya noticed something was wrong and tugged at Xia Hua's sleeve, saying, "Ah Hua, do you feel anything is amiss?"
"Something's not right?"
Xia Hua thought for a moment and said, "Is something wrong? I don't think so, but the sky seems to be getting darker." As she spoke, she suddenly looked up at the sky and was terrified by what she saw. "Zuo Qingya, I feel like it's a lightning tribulation."
Zuo Qingya nodded. "You're not mistaken, it feels like a tribulation of lightning."
"Who is that? Is it about to undergo tribulation?"
Zuo Qing looked up at the sky and said, "Look, that one is about to undergo tribulation."
"You mean the giant serpent?"
Zuo Qingya nodded, "Yes."
Just then, the giant snake fell down, out of control, and caused the entire sea to churn violently. Fortunately, Zuo Qingya reacted quickly and had already set up a small barrier in front of her, so she was not wet.
But the others were different; they were already soaking wet.
Xia Hua wiped the water off her face and immediately started cursing, "Big snake, are you trying to kill me? Couldn't you have landed gently? Why did you make such a big splash? You've soaked me all over."
"There's nothing I can do about it. I didn't mean to. I was just too anxious. You all need to leave here quickly, my tribulation is coming."
"Oh, we know."
"I know, now hurry up and leave."
"Let's go." With that, Zuo Qingya tossed a few defensive magic items to the giant snake, then pulled Xia Hua and the others away. They found a relatively safe place and stood there watching the giant snake undergo its tribulation.
"Sister, the giant serpent will safely survive the tribulation, right?"
Zuo Qingya nodded. "Mm."
A moment later, with a crack, the lightning tribulation fell directly from the sky, striking the giant snake directly. The snake groaned, and blood flowed from the corner of its mouth.
Seeing the giant snake's appearance, Zuo Qingya frowned in confusion. Why wasn't the snake using the magic weapon she had given it? It would have been better to at least block the attack; it just felt a bit frustrating to be struck like that.
Slowly, towards the end, the giant snake began to use the defensive magic weapon that Zuo Qingya had given it. The subsequent lightning tribulations grew increasingly intense, and Zuo Qingya thought the giant snake was about to collapse. However, its willpower was incredibly strong, as if it were saying, "If I don't become a dragon, I'll go to hell."
At the last moment, the giant snake had been charred and torn apart by the lightning tribulation, its body unrecognizable, just a black blur. Only after the lightning tribulation subsided did Zuo Qingya and the others reach the giant snake's side.
Yan Shiying tugged at Zuo Qingya's sleeve and said, "Sister, could Brother Orochi be dead?"
Zuo Qingya released her divine sense to scan the snake's condition and was surprised to find that it was still alive despite its weak breathing.
"The Orochi brothers are not dead yet."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Zuo Qingya's words.
Zuo Qingya took out several bottles of healing pills and fed them all into the snake's mouth.
The elixir melted instantly upon entering the mouth, and the giant snake soon awoke.
Just then, sweet dew fell from the sky, radiating golden light, and landed on the giant serpent. Soon, the wounds on the serpent's body, large and small, began to heal. Even its body, which had been charred and tender from being struck by lightning, began to grow scales again, and it slowly seemed to be shedding its skin. The scales after shedding their skin emitted a golden light, and horns on its head also began to grow.
Zuo Qingya and the others watched with great curiosity.
Everyone was happy for the giant snake. Did the giant snake sense something? It wanted to touch it, but it didn't have claws. Just as it was thinking this, the giant snake's claws began to extend. Looking at its own claws, the giant snake was stunned. It touched the horns on its head, which were very clear dragon horns.
The giant snake was overjoyed, thinking, "Have I turned into a dragon?"
Seeing everyone nod, the giant snake laughed heartily, "Oh yeah, I really have become a dragon! This is wonderful! My cultivation was definitely worthwhile, I have truly become a dragon!" As it spoke, the giant snake began to fly towards the sky, its body surrounded by dazzling seven-colored light, making it look truly divine.
"Sister, what is a dragon?"
"??? Just like the appearance of the Orochi brothers now, this is a dragon."
"Oh, so this is the dragon. What was that before it?"
"??? That's obviously a snake."
"And what is a snake?"
"??? Just like the Orochi brothers before, that was a snake."
Yan Shiying nodded, finally understanding.
Zuo Qingya breathed a sigh of relief, but she was also quite troubled. These two little ones were really asking a million questions.
After the giant snake had swum enough, it landed on the sea and stared at Zuo Qingya and the others.
"Who among you wants to come up and experience what it's like to ride a dragon?"
Yan Shiying and Yan Mengying were the first to raise their hands, "Me, me, me, I want it."
The giant snake nodded. "Come on up, all of you."
"Okay."
The two little ones climbed onto the snake's back, but the snake didn't fly away immediately; it waited.
Yan Shiying asked in confusion, "Brother Big Snake, why aren't you leaving yet?"
The giant snake realized that it was now a dragon, not a snake anymore, so it had to change its name.
"Good boy, call him Da Long."
"ah???"
“I am no longer a snake, I am now a dragon, so you should call me Great Dragon.”
"Alright then, it doesn't matter what it's called, let's just call it Big Dragon."
"Can that giant dragon fly now?"
Da Long looked at everyone in confusion, "Aren't the three of you coming up?"
Zuo Qingya pointed to herself, "Are you talking about us? Are we going up together too?"
"Of course, I'm big enough to fit all of you in."
Zuo Qingya nodded, "Alright then, let's go up there."
"Come on up, come on up."
Everyone got onto the dragon's back.
The dragon lifted itself up and began to fly upwards.
"Too fast, Da Long, slow down."
"Was it too fast? I feel fine."
"The dragon is really too fast, slow down."
"Okay, then I'll fly slowly."
"Um."
The group sat on the dragon's back, gazing at the scenery before them with expressions of awe.
"If only there hadn't been a disaster, we would still be comfortably in bed playing on our phones."
Xia Hua shook her head. "I feel pretty good now. Humans and animals can be friends."
"Well, it has its pros and cons."
"Yes, you can still cultivate now."
Da Long nodded and said, "If it weren't for this disaster, I probably wouldn't know you."
Zuo Qingya nodded, "That's true."
"Zuo Qingya, I think things are fine now. Look at how slovenly you used to be. You didn't even want to go on a trip. You just stayed in your doghouse playing games all day and never went out. You were such a shut-in. Things are fine now, look at you..." Xia Hua glanced at Zuo Qingya and didn't know how to continue.
