Simon glanced at the clock on the wall.
We agreed to meet at 8:30, but he still hasn't arrived. The snake demon is late again!
There's a very strange phenomenon in psychotherapy—patients pay to see a doctor, but they resist the treatment.
The technical term for this is impedance, and there are many types of impedance, such as not paying for medical treatment or being late.
The last time the snake demon was late was because of a traffic jam; the time before that was because he was late from a fox demon for some Ganoderma lucidum and got beaten half to death; the time before that was because he overslept, and the time before that was because he was late...
Simon rubbed his forehead and took the snake demon's medical records from the bookshelf. He couldn't remember why he was late the last time.
However, the superficial reason for being late is not important. What is important is what exactly is this snake resisting?
The patient hasn't arrived yet, so the doctor can only guess.
Simon looked through the last medical records. The snake demon's last words were a vow: "From tomorrow on, I will be a hardworking snake, taking drugs and practicing. From tomorrow on, I will be a self-disciplined snake, meditating and refining elixirs. From tomorrow on, I will be a snake that steers clear of vulgar interests, no longer watching TV series or eating humans. I swear to heaven, if I don't work hard, I will be struck by lightning! If I eat humans again, I will never be reborn!"
Simon's handsome eyebrows wrinkled slightly.
So Qingqing’s lateness this time was probably not due to resistance, but rather - was she really struck by lightning?
***********
Inside a private room at a famous Chengdu nightclub, a man in his forties, with a bald head and a prominent beer belly, held a wine glass in one hand and a young woman in the other. He gave a lecherous smile and bargained, "Qingqing, my wife and I have no feelings for each other. I like you, so please give me a discount. Three thousand a night is too much. Besides, your looks aren't worth that much!"
The girl Qingqing tossed her curly hair and gently tapped the rosacea of the man next to her with her slender fingers, laughing wildly: "Hey! Mr. Xu, looks are secondary, good skills are the real thing. I promise you will wait a while and have an unforgettable night of ecstasy."
Mr. Xu's bones softened when he heard this. His thug pulled a wad of bills from his bag and threw them on the table, exuding generosity: "Ten thousand dollars. Serve me well, and it's all yours! You must never forget this ecstatic night~~!"
"Okay~!" Qingqing lowered her head shyly, and her charming voice was like a hook that immediately captured the man's heart.
When she looked up again, her amber eyes were shining with a bright light, and above the light, there was a thin layer of water vapor. Her pink tongue stretched out involuntarily, and the girl's throat even trembled, and she seemed a little impatient.
Qingqing reached out and touched the man's collar. Her fingers trembled slightly. She was anxious and a little flustered. Inadvertently, she pulled off a button on the man's collar.
"Hey, don't be so anxious! Kiss your brother's big baby first~! I want the Nine Heavens of Ice and Fire!" Mr. Xu held Qingqing's head and pressed her head towards his lower body. By the way, he took the initiative to unbutton the metal buckle of his belt. The metal buckle emitted a refracted silver light, which was particularly dazzling.
Mr. Xu closed his eyes and decided to enjoy the evening.
The girl's panting voice came, and there was even some hissing in her voice: "No! No, I can't wait! I have to finish it quickly, otherwise I will be late!"
"Late? Late?" The man opened his eyes in confusion, and then saw an unforgettable scene.
A large green snake head was right in front of him. The snake head was one meter wide, and its mouth was wide open as if it could swallow the entire box. Its bright red tongue was hissing out, and saliva was dripping from its sharp fangs.
However, this is just unforgettable, not unforgettable forever.
The man looked down along the snake's head and he would never forget it: this scary snake head was only the upper body, and the lower body was actually a pair of human legs, wrapped in a tight miniskirt, with black stockings on the legs, and the most outrageous thing was that they were wearing high heels!
Many heavy-mouthed men also like beautiful snakes, but the prerequisite is that the upper body is a beauty and the lower body is a snake.
Like the one in front of you, with a snake upper body and a beautiful woman lower body, everyone calls it a monster. No matter how beautiful its lower body looks.
"Brother..." The panting snake head revealed naked desire in his voice, "I can't wait any longer, I want to eat you now!"
"Ah! Monster!!!!"
The screams were also swallowed by the green snake, and nothing could be heard under the deafening music.
The lower half of the snake had neatly transformed into a snake tail. Its stomach had just swallowed a person and was bulging. The snake turned over and exposed its belly upwards so that it could digest the food well.
Suddenly, the big snake burped, and with a "puff" sound, a shiny metal belt buckle came out of its mouth.
It is Mr. Xu’s belt buckle - metal is difficult to digest, so eat a balanced diet and protect your stomach and intestines.
Completely ecstatic.
After more than ten minutes, the big snake's bloated belly finally shrunk a little. It raised its head, looked at the seed hanging on the wall, and became panicked.
"Oh no, we're going to be late!" The big green snake twisted on the ground. After a moment, it turned into a human form - the young girl was busy putting on clothes, taking off shoes, and stroking her hair.
"Oh my God, Demon Lord, please bless me and don't let me be late again this time!" Qingqing crossed her hands and made a standard prayer posture in the demon world. She hurried out of the house in high heels and stood at the door, constantly looking at her watch and hailing a passing taxi.
As a result, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck the clear sky and hit Qingqing on the head.
Not only was there a flash of lightning, but there was even a rumble of thunder - five rumbles in total.
The snake demon only then remembered that he had sworn an oath a week ago - to be a snake that strives for progress and gets rid of vulgar interests, otherwise he would be struck by lightning.
Qingqing's whole body was charred black, her originally smooth hair turned into curly hair, and it was smoking, and she looked confused.
A furry white fox passed by in the sky. She glanced down and laughed contemptuously, "That stupid snake, still wants to cultivate and ascend to heaven? Even a psychiatrist can't save her IQ!"
The white fox rolled its eyes in mid-air, smiled smugly while holding the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum in its mouth, and passed by.
The green snake spirit was stunned for a long while before she realized that she couldn't go to see a psychologist like this, so she had to return to her home, take a bath with the spiritual spring, wipe her hair with the precious Kunlun dew to smooth out her curly hair, and finally changed into a new set of clothes before going out again to take a taxi and rush to the psychological clinic.
At exactly nine o'clock, Qingqing finally arrived in front of an old residential building.
The building was built at the beginning of this century. There are small advertisements on the walls and an anti-theft iron door with a code at the entrance of the corridor.
The iron gate was closed. The residents on the first floor opened a small door on the street side. The small door was made of wood. There were flower beds on the corners of the walls on both sides. Roses were planted in the flower beds. At this moment, the blooming roses were climbing on the walls and blooming with the night breeze.
The door of the clinic is also cleverly opened. It faces a small street garden with several benches. If visitors arrive early, they can sit on the chairs and enjoy the small garden while waiting.
On a summer night, the faint fragrance of flowers wafted in the air. Qingqing took a deep breath. It was truly rare to be able to breathe such fresh air with the fragrance of flowers in the city.
At this moment, the door of this small clinic was ajar, leaking orange light and illuminating the two steps at the entrance.
Qingqing stood on the steps. She adjusted her hair at the door and looked down at her watch. The consultation was only one hour long, and she was forty minutes late.
Psychologists will not postpone the consultation time just because you are late. Whatever time they stipulate is the time, and the time of lateness is also included in the consultation fee.
"I only have twenty minutes this time! Oh!" The snake demon sighed, carefully reached out and pushed open the door.
The door creaked, and a gentle, low voice came from inside: "Are you here?"
Qingqing gritted her teeth, raised her foot, took a step toward the door, and looked inside the room.
The room is not big, about ten square meters, and there is no decoration. There is only a coffee table, two chairs placed side by side, and a long sofa.
There was a clock on one wall, and a water dispenser underneath;
One wall was made into a bookcase, filled with books and folders; in front of the bookcase was a small desk, on which a laptop was flashing.
The young man in a white shirt was sitting in a rattan chair, looking down at the medical records.
"Doctor Simon, I'm sorry... I'm late." Qingqing, who was wearing a white short skirt, said with a hint of guilt and uneasiness in her voice, "I didn't... mean to do that."
Simon closed Qingqing's medical records and looked up.
Simon's appearance does not look outstanding, he can probably be considered handsome, with his mouth slightly pursed, looking a little serious, but his eyes are very gentle.
"Come in," said Simon.
Qingqing's heart skipped a beat, then she lowered her head shyly and tiptoed carefully into the treatment room.
Simon stood up and closed the door of the treatment room, locking it to avoid being disturbed.
"I'm a little late today," Simon said. "What happened?"
Qingqing's head immediately dropped. After a while, her shoulders began to tremble, and her soft sobs gradually turned into loud sobs. She didn't answer the doctor's questions at all, but cried to herself: "I... wuwuwu..."
Simon had gotten used to it and would wait quietly for the snake spirit to cry.
Snake Spirit: Wuuwuwu! Wuuwuwu! Wuuwuwu, hiss, wuuwu ...
Simon really hoped the snake would just stay there and cry. She was already forty minutes late anyway, so if she just cried for twenty minutes, it would be an hour, and then he could finish the job without doing anything and get paid.
But as a qualified psychologist, Simon still hopes that every treatment will not just be about crying.
The snake demon hissed for more than ten minutes, then suddenly looked up and saw that there were only five minutes left. Under the intense time pressure, he finally controlled his emotions and began to sob and confide what had happened that week.
"Yes, I know. Cultivation is very important to me! That's right. I want to become the most powerful being in this city. I must..."
Simon was already very familiar with the tricks of this snake spirit named Qingqing.
The reason why this snake spirit came to seek medical treatment was because she encountered big trouble in her cultivation.
She wanted to kill people and steal treasures, she wanted to escape the Three Realms, she wanted to be immortal. However, she always couldn't control herself and resorted to cannibalism.
While it's not uncommon for demons to eat humans, this snake demon's cultivation method is authentic Taoist, not sorcery. Therefore, eating humans harms both the demon's cultivation and its demonic nature, harming humans and harming the snake itself. After her cultivation level plummeted by three hundred years in three months, the snake demon finally collapsed. After seeing on a television program that her "uncontrollable desires, despite not wanting to do them," were actually a psychological disorder, she sought psychotherapy and sought out Dr. Simon, who was close to her.
When Qingqing came for treatment for the first time, she vowed to the doctor to help her quit the bad habit of cannibalism and strive to embark on the right path of becoming a demon and ascend to enlightenment as soon as possible.
At first, the fact that a snake came to him for psychotherapy was quite subversive to Simon's worldview, but the young psychologist was still confident in correcting a snake's maladaptive behavior.
