Bai Su couldn't understand what kind of karmic entanglement she had with Shen Qing.

But for him, if he couldn't figure it out, it didn't matter. After all, he had Shen Qing hidden on his person, and sooner or later he would find out.

However, during the daytime, another thing arose that puzzled him. To Shen Qing, the snake demon was like a giant to a baby. Under such oppression, Shen Qing was already trembling in fear because of the snake, so why did he still choose to stay by its side?

Animals' instinct for danger is always greater than their rationality, and monsters are no exception. In this situation, they are completely incapable of thinking.

What exactly is it that made Shen Qing desperately cling to him and refuse to escape?

He inexplicably just wanted to see how long Shen Qing would persist before leaving, but he did not expect that Shen Qing would be frightened and unable to escape. In the end, he had no choice but to put him back into his sleeve.

At the same time, it also planted seeds of confusion.

Having been scared like this and still staying, that means... Shen Qing considers herself important.

But they had never seen it before.

Turns out it was still due to their unknown karmic connection?

Bai Suzhen opened her eyes.

A small green snake came into view, looking at me eagerly. It seemed like it wanted to crawl onto me, but for some reason, it curled itself into a ball instead.

In another three hundred years, it would be possible to enlighten this little thing and allow it to advance its transformation earlier.

Bai Suzhen thought to herself and extended her finger, tapping it on Shen Qing's little head.

Now, let me first tell Shen Qing how to use demonic power.

The little snake under his fingertips seemed to have remembered something from the past and was trying to break free from his hand.

"Don't move," Bai Su spoke up, giving the command.

I'm really not familiar with him/her.

Sure! Here is the translation of the Chinese novel paragraph:

"Sure enough, the reason behind this little snake's previous actions was karma."

However, can karma still influence the affection between two people?

White Su looked at the motionless green snake in confusion, but her hands did not stop. She condensed a trace of demonic energy and transferred it to Shen Qing.

The white light entwined around the green snake, with a faint tendency to expand.

In no time, the green snake suddenly let out a hiss, a sound that ordinary people couldn't hear. Bai Su's heart trembled and her eyes widened.

What's going on?!

That trace of demonic energy was merely passed on to Shen Qing, in order to help Shen Qing comprehend how to use demonic arts. Other than that, it is useless. But now, in front of him, the green snake is gradually enveloped by expanding white light, wailing in agony.

Bai Su Zhen didn't have time to think much. She raised her hand and was about to reach into the white light. What she touched was a cold and slender human wrist.

And...

"Sir--"

Belonging to the language of mankind.

The faint white light dissipated, and the half-kneeling young man weakly threw himself into Bai Suzhen's embrace, falling into a deep, deep sleep.

......

To be honest, Bai Su was a little confused.

He grabbed onto Shen Qing's wrist with one hand, and lightly supported the other person's shoulder with his other hand, barely embracing them in his arms. It took a while for him to react to the situation.

Outside, the stars scattered and twinkled, with not a cloud in sight for thousands of miles. There was not a trace of thunder approaching.

However, the warm and cozy demon in front of him did indeed transform into a human form.

A demonic creature must endure the calamity of the Heavenly Thunder for a thousand years in order to barely qualify for transformation into human form. Unless they are enlightened by an immortal, even if a monster below a thousand years old manages to assume a human form, there will still be traces of its original shape.

You can tell at a glance.

Bai Su really placed the naked young man on the bed and carefully examined him. The little monster's humanoid form was about sixteen or seventeen years old, with fair skin, somewhat resembling a peeled egg. His figure was slender, but there was a thin layer of muscle on his waist and abdomen, and no trace of the green scales belonging to Shen Qing's prototype was visible beneath his skin.

"...There's nothing on top of that thing."

His lower body was not the unsuccessful transformation of a serpent's tail, but rather two slender, white legs.

At first glance, Shen Qing indeed appeared to be an ordinary human teenager.

Yao Guai who wants to transform must not have cultivated for less than a thousand years and requires guidance from an immortal.

Never has there been an exception.

Bai Suzhen is currently just a demon, and she hasn't even transformed Shen Qing. She only transferred a trace of her demonic aura to help Shen Qing understand how to utilize her own demonic power.

But Shen Qing suddenly transformed because of this trace of demonic aura.

This little monster seems off in every way.

After two hundred years of cultivation, he completely didn't know how to manipulate demonic energy, and couldn't even defeat a human.

Although it was their first meeting, he couldn't help but feel an inexplicable familiarity with this little thing, as if they had an indescribable connection.

It was not a breakthrough but merely after swallowing a trace of demonic energy, it transformed into a human form.

What kind of heavenly treasures or strange treasures did this little monster manage to devour, after all--

And another result of the cause and effect between them?

Bai Su removed the black outer robe, concealing the naked green snake demon beneath it, and furrowed her brows in contemplation.

Regardless of what Bai Suzhen was thinking, Shen Qing had no energy to think about it at the moment. He didn't even know that he had already transformed into a human form. He was merely immersed in his dream.

In her dreams, a small green snake would always crawl towards a man dressed in white.

The man exudes a rich spiritual energy, more abundant than any place in Qingcheng Mountain. Cultivating by his side would undoubtedly yield twice the result with half the effort.

It is probably because it was created for this person's enlightenment, so it is very clear about it.

"What brings you here again?"

The man in white opened his eyes and remained silent for a moment upon seeing it, before speaking slowly.

His voice was pleasant to listen to. The green snake couldn't help but straighten its upper body and took a while before settling down. It crawled towards the man, maintaining a small distance, and coiled its body.

[Stay by the adult's side, comfortable.]

Seeing that the man had no reaction, Qing She began silently reciting the incantation in her heart and started absorbing spiritual energy.

The scene was shrouded in white mist. As the mist dispersed, it revealed that the green snake had already crawled onto the man's wrist, and there seemed to be a much closer bond between them.

[My Lord, when will I be able to transform into a human form?] It pondered for a moment, then added, [You're too tall...]

If it stood a bit farther away or perched on a tree, it would still be able to see the adult's face. However, most of the time it simply trailed behind the adult's feet, so it couldn't see the adult's face at all.

It felt a little disheartened.

The adult clearly looks so handsome! Even better looking than the fox demon next door, yet it cannot see it.

It was still dissatisfied with how its cultivation progress had been unsatisfactory, even after all its efforts. Just as it was feeling down, a small hand was placed right in front of it.

"Come up."

A somewhat chilly voice of a man resounded as the green snake obediently slithered onto the palm of his hand. As the palm was raised, the green snake was lifted up to the man's gaze. It looked at the man's soft white feathery-like eyelashes and his dark and deep eyes, causing the entire snake to feel like it was on fire, shying away in embarrassment.

The man chuckled at his little gesture and said, "Can you see it now?"

The green snake couldn't help but raise its upper body and slowly moved towards the man's face. The man didn't stop it, so it gathered some courage and finally lightly bumped its little head against the tip of the man's nose.

The man didn't move.

The heart of the Green Snake trembled. It quietly closed its eyes and swiftly spat out its snake tongue, which touched the man's skin.

Yay! We met each other!

It excitedly bounced up, opened its eyes, and looked at the man. The adult probably didn't notice, but it had just closed its eyes a moment ago!

If it were a bit smarter, it would know that it is deceiving itself, but it is still a little foolish, so it doesn't know.

"If you cultivate diligently, after three hundred years, you will be able to transform and become the Mountain King here." The man didn't understand what it was thinking, and didn't pay much attention to it. He simply answered the Qing Snake's initial question.

[And what about you?]
