When the little snake heard these words, it was so scared that its eyes almost popped out of their sockets. It was stunned for half a second and tried to run away immediately.
However, no matter how fast it moved, Ming Huan's movements were even faster. Simon only felt a shadow flash before his eyes, and Ming Huan caught a small gray snake in his chubby hands.
The gray snake pretended to be intimidating, making a hissing sound and growling threateningly: "Let me go, or I will bite you and poison you to death!"
Ming Huan rolled his eyes in disdain and tightened his grip on the snake with his chubby hands. "A harmless rat snake wants to threaten me?"
The gray snake fought frantically, trembling, and finally looked pitifully at the strong human: "Help me... I just want to see Bai Suzhen and see if she is happy. As long as I see her, I will take you away from here."
Ming Huan sneered: "I don't care whether you live or die! Send us away quickly..."
However, before he could finish his words, Ming Huan felt his feet go empty.
He turned around and found that he and the little snake in his hand were picked up by Simon.
Simon rubbed the baby's head in his arms, and the few hairs on its head fluttered in the wind.
Simon said, "Stop messing around. We just got here. Don't we still have three days left? This is my patient. We finally got in here. Let's go and meet Bai Suzhen with her. Maybe the reason she's been unable to break through in her cultivation is because of Bai Suzhen."
Ming Huan opened his mouth and couldn't close it for a long time.
He really wanted to reject the workaholic psychiatrist's opinion.
But the current situation seems to be that the snake demon is weaker than himself, and he is weaker than an adult man.
Damn place of souls!
Ming Huan silently spat out blood and thought - if I hadn't been beaten back to my original form and my soul hadn't turned into a baby, would I have listened to you?
Ming Huan reluctantly let go of his hand, and the little gray snake hurriedly crawled into Simon's palm.
Simon bent down and placed the gray snake on the ground.
"You lead the way, we will accompany you to see Bai Suzhen."
With the little gray snake leading the way, Simon and Ming Huan quickly found Bai Suzhen's residence - a mansion on the edge of West Lake, Bai Mansion.
The gate of the Bai Mansion was closed tightly. There were a few green bamboos beside the gate. At this moment, the breeze blew, the bamboo leaves rustled, and the shadows of the bamboos swayed on the gate.
The gray snake hissed under the bamboo shadow outside the door. She screamed for a long time, and when her voice was almost hoarse, the door creaked open.
A woman in white came out of the door and looked down at the little snake at the door.
The little gray snake immediately crawled onto the hem of Bai Suzhen's skirt. Bai Suzhen bent down, half-crouched on the ground, and looked at the little gray snake with a smile on her lips.
"Snake, why are you pulling~!" Bai Suzhen asked.
The little gray snake was very happy. It twisted its body at Bai Suzhen's feet and cheered: "I finally found you. You don't know how hard it is..."
However, before she could finish her sentence, a voice suddenly came from behind Bai Suzhen.
"Ma'am, who are you talking to?"
Bai Suzhen was startled and looked back, only to see Xu Xian standing behind her.
Bai Suzhen's originally smiling face suddenly changed.
Her magical power decreased greatly after she became pregnant, and she was too careless just now, so she didn't even notice when Xu Xian came out.
"No, no, I didn't talk to anyone. My husband, you must have heard it wrong..." Bai Suzhen tried her best to cover it up. She must not let Xu Xian find out that she was a monster.
However, before he could finish his sentence, he heard Xu Xian exclaim, "Madam, there is a snake on your skirt!"
"Ah!!" Bai Suzhen screamed and fell decisively into Xu Xian's arms, trembling all over. "Drive... drive it away!"
Xu Xian picked up a bamboo pole and hit the little gray snake with it, causing it to shrink back.
But the little gray snake refused to leave. It didn't understand what was going on. Why did Bai Suzhen, who seemed so happy to see it just now, suddenly change to a completely different attitude in the blink of an eye?
It crawled towards Bai Suzhen, wanting to find out what was going on, but Xu Xian swung down another bamboo pole, hitting it right on the heart.
My heart skipped a beat, and I felt suffocated by the pain. Just as the other rod was about to come down, the little gray snake suddenly felt lighter and was picked up by another person.
Simon silently put the little gray snake into his pocket and bowed to Xu Xian and Bai Niangzi: "Sorry, this is my snake. It's running around everywhere. I hope it didn't scare you two."
White Snake looked at Simon with mixed feelings and shook her head slightly.
Xu Xian was very hospitable and held Simon back and wouldn't let him leave.
"You look like a scholar, come in and have a simple meal. I cooked Dongpo pork today. It's soft and smooth, and won't stick to your teeth. I'm sure you'll like it."
Simon remembered this sentence silently.
When Qingqing was in the clinic, she was obsessed with Dongpo pork.
There must be something wrong with Xu Xian's family!!
Simon held Ming Huan in one hand and the little gray snake in his pocket as he entered the gate of the Bai Mansion.
Xu Xian had studied for several years, but his talent was limited, and he had no hope of passing the imperial examination, so he opened a medical clinic. Now, upon meeting Simon, his favorability immediately increased several levels upon hearing that he was a scholar. Furthermore, Simon was a psychologist, so it took only two words for him to easily gain Xu Xian's trust.
"Do you know?" Xu Xian, under the influence of alcohol, pulled Simon close and whispered in his ear, "I suspect my wife is a snake spirit! I've asked the master from Jinshan Temple to come and exorcise the demon! Once the demon is gone, I can start my life over!"
Simon listened quietly, his heart unmoved. He had seen countless cases of lovers turning into enemies. No one knew better than a psychiatrist how despicable human beings could be.
Bai Suzhen, who had no idea what her husband was thinking, was in the backyard at the moment, looking at the little gray snake that had come thousands of miles to find her with some confusion.
"Sister Bai, when are you going back? Hey, your belly...ah, I see, you are pregnant! You said that giving birth to a child for Xu Xian would be your way of repaying your gratitude. Are you going back soon?" The little gray snake said excitedly.
It was a rat snake and had a hard time at the foot of Mount Qingcheng. It was sometimes bullied. Fortunately, it had practiced with Bai Suzhen for a few days, otherwise it would have been caught by the farmers and steamed and braised.
If Bai Suzhen goes back, no one will dare to bully me anymore~! Besides, it would be wonderful to be able to see Sister Bai every day~!
But Bai Suzhen obviously didn't think so. She took a half step back, looking nervously at Xu Xian who was drinking with guests in the distance, and waved at the little gray snake: "Hurry! Go away! Don't come looking for me again!"
"Why?" The little gray snake didn't understand.
Bai Suzhen remained silent. She couldn't explain all this to the little gray snake, and she couldn't tell it how difficult it was for a monster to find true love.
She helped Xu Xian open a clinic, she showed him a rare tenderness, she even risked her life stealing treasures just to save his life. Now, in order to keep Xu Xian, she planned to bear him a child.
But later she found that even though she was so devoted to a man, it was impossible for this man to love only her.
This man would also show envy towards other beautiful women, and even recently had an affair with his maid Xiaoqing.
"You don't look happy, why?" asked the little gray snake.
It remembered very clearly that in the nearly thousand years before Bai Suzhen went down the mountain, she had never shown such a sad expression.
Bai Suzhen lowered her head and looked at the small gray snake. "Go away! Your magic power is too weak to transform into a human form, let alone help me. On the contrary, you will implicate me. If Xu Xian discovers that I am also a monster, then both he and I will be finished."
The little gray snake didn't quite understand what was so good about Xu Xian that made Bai Suzhen so nervous.
It just swam back to Simon dejectedly, curled up in Simon's purse, rolled itself up like a mosquito coil, and thought with its little head.
When Xu Xian was about to leave, he was already drunk and Bai Suzhen did not come out to see him off.
Simon only vaguely heard the quarrel between Bai Suzhen and the green fish spirit.
"Xiaoqing, how could you do this? I'm pregnant!"
"Sister, he's a heartless man, not worthy of your lifelong trust! I was just testing him..."
"Who asked you to try?!"
"If it weren't for me, I would have someone else! At least you and I are on the same page and I won't really do anything to let you down! At least I will bring him home and let him meet you!"
Bai Suzhen was completely silent.
As a monster, even if he has practiced for thousands of years, he still doesn't understand why human hearts are so fickle.
And she knew that Xiaoqing was right. In recent months, Xu Xian had been coming home less and less frequently, and later and later. If Xiaoqing hadn't gone out to look for him, this man probably wouldn't have come home at all.
If her love was at its peak, Bai Suzhen wouldn't mind entertaining the little gray snake. But now—her feelings were so fragile that they couldn't withstand even the slightest setback.
"I'm sorry, snake!" Bai Suzhen thought of the little gray snake's dejected look as it left, and said silently in her heart, "Your magic power is too weak to transform into a human form. Mr. Xu would be suspicious if he saw you."
That night, Simon took Minghuan and the little gray snake to sleep in a pavilion beside the West Lake.
Minghuan nestled in Simon's arms, sleeping warmly and comfortably.
The little gray snake huddled in the corner.
Simon, on the other hand, fell into deep thought.
A day has passed - where exactly is the psychological trauma of this snake spirit?
Xu Xian wants to abandon Bai Suzhen and start a new life. Bai Suzhen may end up in tragedy, but all this has nothing to do with the little gray snake.
What happened that caused this little gray snake to lose focus on cultivation and instead just want to eat people?
Simon fell asleep in a daze, and when he opened his eyes again, it was already the next morning.
Ming Huan rolled comfortably in Simon's arms, muttering, "It's the second day, you have to hurry back!"
Simon hummed. This was his first time entering the land of demonic spirits. He had no idea how vast it was or what lay within. But he felt a bit reluctant to leave. Qingqing's psychological problems were definitely related to Bai Suzhen, so he decided to visit her in person again.
After Simon made up his mind, he put Minghuan down from his arms and stretched deeply. When he was halfway through stretching, he was stunned.
There were only him and Ming Huan in the pavilion. The little gray snake that had coiled up like a mosquito coil last night was gone.
At the same moment, torrential rain suddenly came without warning, mixed with the smell of blood.
Something happened!
