Invincible Snake Emperor

Chapter 669: Chapter 621: Fortune or Misfortune

The Yellow Rat Spirit’s heart skipped a beat. ’Did I say something wrong?’ The Snake King’s presence was too overwhelming. Standing before him felt like being crushed under a formless mountain, making it hard to breathe.

Its large claws, which had been gripping the little girl, subconsciously loosened.

THUD!

The little girl slammed hard onto the ground. Before she passed out, she glanced at Tu Xiao’an, a single, shimmering teardrop clinging to the corner of her eye.

Tu Xiao’an looked at the unconscious little girl with a hint of pity before turning his cold gaze to the Yellow Rat Spirit. "I have already announced the peace treaty with the Demon Management Bureau. No demon is to harm ordinary citizens, yet you were still about to suck the blood of a little girl."

"My lord, I was just going to suck this one girl’s blood and then I was going to stop," the Yellow Rat Spirit said in terror.

"You enjoy sucking blood, don’t you? Fine. Here, suck my blood," Tu Xiao’an said, extending his arm toward the Yellow Rat Spirit.

The Yellow Rat Spirit was aghast. It fell to its knees, trembling with fear. "Lord Snake King, how could I dare to suck your blood?"

"I’m telling you to suck it, so suck it," Tu Xiao’an stated, his voice flat and emotionless.

"This... this..." The Yellow Rat Spirit was frozen stiff. Even if it had ten times the courage, it wouldn’t dare. The one before it was the King of the Snake Clan.

’Suck his blood? I might have the life to suck it, but I probably wouldn’t have a life left to enjoy it.’

"You don’t dare?" A frigid light flashed in Tu Xiao’an’s eyes. He shot the Yellow Rat Spirit a glance, and it instantly shuddered, frozen in place as if it had been plunged into an endless abyss.

"Lord Snake King, spare me! I won’t suck anyone’s blood ever again!"

Killing Intent. The Yellow Rat Spirit felt an unstoppable Killing Intent radiating from him. The fear of death enveloped it.

"You don’t need to return to the Yaoling Mountain Range. Go to Hell and atone to that innocent couple."

Tu Xiao’an formed a palm with one hand and brought it down on the Yellow Rat Spirit’s head.

"Lord Snake King, why are you killing me? Don’t!" The Yellow Rat Spirit now looked exactly like the middle-aged woman from before—filled with fear and helplessness.

Before a being of absolute power, all one could do was wait for death. There was no room for even the slightest resistance.

But suddenly, the Yellow Rat Spirit’s eyes turned blood-red. A Heaven-Shocking Power erupted from it, and its clawed hand shot out to meet Tu Xiao’an’s palm.

BOOM!

The entire room buckled under the immense force, threatening to collapse. Caught off guard, Tu Xiao’an swayed slightly, his expression turning to one of surprise.

’How could a mere Rank Two Spirit Monster possibly block my palm strike?’

The Yellow Rat Spirit was now emitting a strong Demon Qi. It stood up and spoke in a voice filled with grievance and sorrow, "Snake Demon King, have you gone too far? You ambushed and killed my clone, stole my credit for opening the Demon Prison, and now you won’t even spare a Little Demon of my own clan?"

Oh?

Tu Xiao’an’s face showed his astonishment. It was the Yellow Demon King, possessing the body. ’Well, color me impressed. I didn’t know you could pull a move like that.’

"Yellow Demon King, you just can’t seem to let things go, can you? What, does it pain you to see me kill a mere Rank Two weasel?"

’So protective of his subjects.’

"Snake Demon King, I don’t recall ever offending you before. But with your repeated provocations, do you truly wish for our two clans to go to war?"

The Yellow Demon King was furious, seething with anger.

Tu Xiao’an looked with amusement at the Yellow Rat Spirit now possessed by the Yellow Demon King. "You’re quite something. First, you send a clone, and now you possess a body. Is your true self really that precious?"

But that was precisely the point. Whether it was the previous clone or this current possessed body, neither was his true form, and therefore neither was qualified to speak with Tu Xiao’an.

"Don’t try to scare me with talk of war, you weasel. My Snake Clan has nothing to fear, and I, the Snake King, have nothing to fear." Tu Xiao’an’s eyes were half-lidded, his expression indifferent and completely unbothered. He continued, "Seeing you go to such great lengths, you can’t just be here to save this Little Demon. You must have another purpose."

With his true body far away in the Yaoling Mountain Range and his clone destroyed, the Yellow Demon King had been cut off from any news. He was naturally desperate to know what had happened to the Six-eyed Golden Lion.

So, he needed to find a demon of his own clan to possess and control to gather information. He never expected that the Yellow Rat Spirit he chose would nearly die at the hands of this snake.

"Where is the Six-eyed Golden Lion now?" This was what the Yellow Demon King truly cared about.

Tu Xiao’an didn’t hide anything. "That Six-eyed Golden Lion was stubborn to the end. It foolishly rushed into the War Relics and has probably become fertilizer for the Taotie by now."

"What?!" The Yellow Demon King was utterly shocked, unable to believe it. He stared at Tu Xiao’an and bellowed, "You’ve got some nerve, Snake Demon King! Do you think you can fool a three-year-old with a story like that? The Six-eyed Golden Lion was perfectly fine. Why would it rush into the War Relics?"

’It was supposed to return to the Yaoling Mountain Range and rendezvous with me.’

"I’ve said my piece. Believe it or not, that’s up to you." Tu Xiao’an had no time to explain. He focused his powerful Consciousness Power on the Yellow Rat Spirit, preparing to obliterate it directly.

The Yellow Demon King immediately shouted, "Wait! I have more to say!"

He had gone to great trouble to find a Little Demon of his clan to possess. If this one was killed, he would completely lose his connection to Wencheng.

"Yellow Demon King, I have no interest in chatting with you. If you really want to find the Six-eyed Golden Lion, go to the War Relics."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tu Xiao’an’s demonic eyes narrowed.

POP!

The Yellow Rat Spirit before him instantly dissolved into a cloud of blood mist.

’Possession? This was even weaker than that clone.’

A possession like this probably couldn’t even wield ten percent of the Yellow Demon King’s full Power.

The palm strike that had been blocked earlier was one where Tu Xiao’an hadn’t used any real force.

For him, killing a Rank Two Spirit Monster couldn’t be easier.

It was a shame, though. This was only a Rank Two Spirit Monster. If it had been a creature at Rank Three of Enlightenment, Tu Xiao’an could have collected a Lifebound Golden Core after killing it.

Besides, the Yellow Demon King must hate his guts by now.

It seemed Tu Xiao’an was always getting in his way.

Of course, this time it was a complete coincidence.

After finishing his business, Tu Xiao’an looked around at what was once a warm little home. Now, it was a total wreck, and the family had been torn apart by death.

The demon scourge. There were probably many families who had suffered such a devastating catastrophe.

Tu Xiao’an walked over to the unconscious little girl and gently picked her up. His otherwise cold eyes were filled with pity.

’Poor child. To lose both parents at such a young age... how will she survive?’

"Wu Tianyi!"

Tu Xiao’an called out softly.

SWISH! Wu Tianyi, the director of the Demon Management Bureau, suddenly appeared.

"Take care of this little girl. Make sure she can live a good life."

He felt pity, but Tu Xiao’an couldn’t possibly raise the girl himself.

Entrusting her to Wu Tianyi was the best option.

Wu Tianyi took the unconscious girl and quickly said, "Master, you truly have the heart of a Bodhisattva. On behalf of this little girl, I thank you for saving her life."

’The heart of a Bodhisattva? Give me a break.’

Tu Xiao’an just couldn’t stand seeing demons kill ordinary people. If it were a Cultivator being killed, he wouldn’t have felt much of anything.

In that case, it just meant your skills were inferior. If you were killed, you were killed. If a demon lacked strength and was captured, it was captured. There was nothing more to say about it.

"How is the gathering of the escaped demons coming along?"

Wu Tianyi replied, "With Master’s thousand-mile voice transmission telling them to return to the Yaoling Mountain Range, the demons naturally don’t dare to act so recklessly anymore. Many have begun to gather, but there are too many escaped demons, so it will probably take some time. Also, there are a few individual demons still causing chaos, and we need to send people to suppress them."

"Mm. As for the stubborn ones, just kill them."

Like this Yellow Rat Spirit. What was the point of keeping it alive?

"Go handle your business. I’m going to take a walk and clean up some of the disobedient ones. Remember, make proper arrangements for this girl and treat her well," Tu Xiao’an instructed again.

Wu Tianyi said, "Rest assured, Master."

"Wait!" Tu Xiao’an felt a pang of guilt. If he had arrived just a little sooner, perhaps the girl’s mother could have been saved, and she wouldn’t have become a complete orphan.

Being an orphan wasn’t easy. Tu Xiao’an’s own father had died early when he was a child. Thankfully, his mother had been there to support the family on her own.

This little girl had lost both her mother and father. One could only imagine how difficult her road ahead would be.

"Take this as my gift to the little girl."

Tu Xiao’an took a Lifebound Golden Core, the size of a pigeon’s egg, from his system and placed it in the little girl’s hand.

Wu Tianyi was shocked. "A Golden Core from a Deep Mountain Great Demon! Master, this is too precious! Besides, for such a young girl to possess such a powerful Demon Spirit’s Lifebound Golden Core... it could be a curse, not a blessing!"

"Whether it’s a curse or a blessing... as the esteemed director of the Demon Management Bureau, are you telling me you can’t manage that fine line?"

Wu Tianyi understood instantly and said no more. Perhaps this little girl was actually very lucky.

Twenty years later, that little girl would reach Rank Three of Enlightenment, becoming Wencheng’s youngest Rank Three Creature!
