Shen Qing's gaze flickered when she looked at the person in front of her.

He is quite handsome. No wonder that farmer kept looking for you all morning." The man stood tall, radiating an imposing aura even when simply standing still, making others dare not provoke him.

The man looked at Shen Qing for a moment, then knelt down and extended his hand to him, saying, "After practicing for two hundred years, how do you still not understand even a bit of simple spell?"

The hand was slender and powerful, with distinct joints, and had a wheat-like complexion that made Shen Qing feel the urge to climb up.

Thinking this way, he acted accordingly. It was as if he had been bewitched, his body willingly moving towards the man and entwining itself around the man's hand.

I was tempted, just like when I saw that umbrella in the dormitory.

It was probably Shen Qing's obedience that pleased the other person. The man raised an eyebrow and chuckled. He was already handsome to begin with, but this smile made Shen Qing feel a tingling sensation throughout her entire body.

Then, Shen Qing was placed into the man's pocket.

It took Shen Qing quite a while to recover from that somewhat sinister smile. He had been entwined in the man's hands, and no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't figure out why he obediently crawled into this person's hands.

This doesn't make sense.

He's not a three-year-old child, let alone a man who hasn't even handed him a piece of candy.

Oh, of course, the point is not the candy.

Shen Qing climbed up along the man's strong arm. The clothing of ancient people was indeed wide and large, so this climb did not encounter any obstacles at all. Soon, it crawled up the man's arm and reached his shoulder. Then, a small head poked out from the man's white collar.

"Hisshh—"

[Are you a monster? Can you really understand what I'm saying?]

In fact, Shen Qing had already completely regarded this as a dream.

He had also read novels about time travel before, but when it came to his turn, he refused to believe that he had actually traveled through time. Who could say for sure that this wasn't just another dream of his?

It's like Zhou Gong.

The protagonist of the novel always manages to realize that they have traveled through time in the first instance. This is because the main plotline unfolds in such a manner.

Therefore, Shen Qing simply did not believe that she had transformed into a snake - or rather, a monster. Compared to the concept of transmigration, Shen Qing found the explanation of it being a dream to be more realistic.

As a seedling grown up under the education of the party, Shen Qing is intensely pragmatic.

"Hmm?" The man responded softly with a deep voice, causing Shen Qing's tail to sway again. However, she forgot that her tail was still stuck in the man's clothes. The friction of her tail against his body made the man briefly tense up.

What do you want to say?

The voice sounds really pleasant.

Shen Qing blinked with contentment, finally understanding why there were so many voice-activated devices in the world.

It turned out that the man could understand what she was saying, which was not surprising.

"Hiss~"

[Please, say something more.]

Shen Qing spat out a snake letter, looking eagerly at the man. Anyway, it's just a dream, so it doesn't matter if she feels a little more at ease.

"What did you say?"

The man raised his hand and placed the back of his hand in front of his shoulder, as if silently inviting. Shen Qing looked at the hand and couldn't help but lift her upper body and slide onto the man's hand.

Until that hand was raised in front of the man's eyes, Shen Qing suddenly realized that he had returned to the starting point.

"...Hmph, this hand is really teasing me!" Shen Qing lightly swiped at the back of the man's hand with her tail, the force gentle as if a strand of hair brushing past.

The man lowered his gaze, and his long eyelashes trembled slightly. Sheng Qing only then noticed that his eyelashes were also white, which made his slightly arched phoenix eyes look even more beautiful.

Paired with that deep face, he looks extremely handsome. Shen Qing silently added in his heart.

Wait, wait, wait, something isn't right with this development.

When the hell did I become a member of the Beauty Club? And on top of that, for a man?

[Why did you save me?]

Shen Qing found herself endlessly tangled, so she simply decided to stop struggling and asked the questions that were bothering her in her mind.

"I just happened to see it." So I dealt with it conveniently.

Actually, it wasn't completely effortless. Bai Su pondered, "This is the first time in a thousand years that I've seen a demon who has cultivated for two hundred years and yet still got caught by humans. It's just amusing, that's all."

He originally thought this demon was foolish, but now it seems that it probably doesn't possess any demonic powers. This is even more strange than being foolish.

After two hundred years of cultivation, I surprisingly still cannot wield demonic powers.

"What have you eaten to attain such a high level of cultivation? Huh?" Now thinking back, it's estimated that Shen Qing must have consumed some precious items to obtain spiritual wisdom and this level of cultivation.

White Su Zhen was still quite curious about this.

How should I know? Shen Qing was a bit frustrated. He didn't even have dinner in order to rush the report, and ended up getting rained on!

Oh, well, she even encountered an umbrella borrowing incident that may or may not be a supernatural event. And in the end, she even had a mysterious dream, and when she woke up, she had turned into a snake—'

So how would he know what this snake had eaten?!

Wait a moment...

He realized he had turned into a snake only after waking up from a dream - so is this still a dream?

Dream within a dream?

Shen Qing unconsciously tightened his body, and the snake wrapped around Bai Suzhen's wrist began to retract.

If this is not a dream, then without a doubt, I have definitely traveled through time.

So, is this a dream or a time travel?

The saying "People who dream are not aware that they are dreaming" is a bunch of nonsense to Shen Qing. This is because he has a friend who studies psychology and told him that it is possible to control dreams with deliberate training.

Even if Shen Qing has never deliberately trained, it is not impossible for her to have dreams. After all, dreaming is more realistic than transmigrating.

Shen Qing was curious to test his own sense of pain, but now he didn't have hands and he didn't even know if he was poisoned. He couldn't possibly bite himself to find out, right?

"Ssshhh!" Ahh! It hurts! Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through the tip of the tail, instantly pulling Shen Qing's attention back from being immersed in his own thoughts.

It was originally unintentional that he kept wrapping himself tighter in Bai Suzhen's hand, which caused Bai Suzhen to pinch the tip of his tail.

Shen Qing opened his hand with a snap, freeing White Suzhen's grip on his tail. He couldn't help but curl up into a ball, releasing his hold on White Suzhen's hand that was wrapped around him. Then, joyfully and eagerly, he dropped down.

"Damn!"

Watching himself getting closer and closer to the ground, Shen Qing couldn't help but shrink himself even smaller. Then, with a thud, he fell into Bai Suzhen's hands - and she caught him.

However, this action was not more appealing than the pain at the tip of his tail. Shen Qing wanted to hold his tail and blow on it, but he had no hands and couldn't blow air, so he could only pitifully rub his tail with his head.

The pain confirmed for Shen Qing that she had indeed traveled through time.

Shen Qing glared at the culprit who caused him pain, intending to use his tail to strike the back of this person's hand, but fearing that Bai Su might squeeze his tail again, he could only stare at him without any deterrent power.

Bai Su completely ignored Shen Qing's teary eyes, and simply shoved him into her sleeve.

At first, Bai Suzhen truly helped out of convenience, after all, they were of the same clan, so why not lend a hand? According to reason, their fate should have ended there. However, Bai Suzhen couldn't help but feel a sense of familiarity from this little thing.

Bai Su couldn't help but develop a favorable impression of it.

Perhaps it's because they are destined to be connected? Bai Su thought to herself in the darkness, and then chuckled. Unless there is some kind of karma involved, it would be impossible for him to develop any feelings for a snake that is only two hundred years old.

So, what exactly is the cause and effect?

He didn't remember that he still had other people's debts to repay.

Unable to understand Bai Su's intentions, Zhen Gan Cui simply stopped dwelling on it. Since there was a causal relationship between them, he would just go along with it for now. There would surely come a day when everything would become clear.

So Bai Suzhen then stuffed Shen Qing into her sleeve.
