Chapter 384: Chapter 380: An Unsightly Way of Eating

Since Tu Xiao’an hadn’t released his Snake King aura, the Golden Silkworm Gu Snakes in the cherry tree weren’t afraid of him. One by one, they emanated a chilling aura, their eerie Snake Gazes glowing like Midnight Ghosts.

Just then, one of the Golden Silkworm Gu Snakes could no longer restrain itself. It turned into a streak of golden light and opened its massive maw, lunging at the levitating Purple Gold Snake. It was less of a bite and more of an attempt to swallow the other snake in one gulp.

Snake eats snake, but now the question was, who would eat whom?

Tu Xiao’an’s Snake Gaze flickered. His Consciousness Power surged, and he instantly immobilized the lunging Gu Snake in mid-air.

’A Level 16 Gu Snake... why did you have to be the one to stick your neck out?’

Greed surfaced in Tu Xiao’an. This Level 16 Golden Silkworm Gu Snake was a full two meters long, its entire body a brilliant gold. Even in the dark of night, it glittered like a dazzling star.

SWELL...

After gauging the sizes of both snakes, and to make it an easier mouthful, the levitating Purple Gold Snake suddenly expanded from one meter to five.

Then, it opened its mouth. Like eating a spicy strip, right in front of the cherry tree and under the menacing glares of over a dozen Golden Silkworm Gu Snakes, Tu Xiao’an devoured the immobilized Gu Snake.

It didn’t even have a chance to struggle. After his Transformation, he had always tried to eat a little more elegantly, a bit more gracefully.

’I can’t believe I’ve gone back to my old ways tonight.’

’But what can you do? It’d be a real waste not to devour these Golden Silkworm Gu Snakes.’

After devouring this one, he gained 300 Evolutionary Energy.

HISSS... HISSS... HISSS...

A dense hissing sound came from the cherry tree, like the wails of Fierce Ghosts. The dozen or so Golden Silkworm Gu Snakes writhed, and another golden shadow shot out from the tree. This one was more slender than the last.

’Bring it on.’

Tu Xiao’an’s Snake Gaze narrowed. Unsurprisingly, this Golden Silkworm Gu Snake was also immobilized. The next second, another one from the tree made its move, shooting toward him as well.

What followed was quite a scene. From the cherry tree, one golden shadow after another shot toward the large, levitating snake, fearless and undaunted.

’Freeze... freeze... freeze...’

Tu Xiao’an had already become a five-meter-long snake, but this didn’t frighten the Golden Silkworm Gu Snakes in the slightest. They seemed to have lost their minds, charging forward bravely. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Tu Xiao’an’s current Consciousness Power was terrifyingly strong; he could easily immobilize even a Rank Two Spirit Monster.

The Gu Snakes were like moths to a flame. No matter how many came, Tu Xiao’an would only be delighted.

’Eating spicy strips, one after another... I don’t even take ordinary Rank Three Demon Spirits seriously anymore, let alone these Gu Snakes.’

Tu Xiao’an tried to keep his movements subtle, not wanting to alert the Ancestor Grandma in the inner room. He had come quietly and wanted to leave quietly, without any major trouble. All that mattered was achieving his goal.

He ate three of the immobilized Gu Snakes. Then, from the cherry tree, a huge snake shadow soared upwards, and an incomparably cold aura of the Snake Race began to spread.

’Damn, a Rank Two Gu Snake. Who do you think you’re trying to scare? Settle down.’

Tu Xiao’an’s powerful Consciousness Power directly seized the Rank Two Gu Snake as it was about to manifest its largest snake form and pulled it over, immobilizing it.

’I don’t even dare to make any big moves, and this Rank Two Gu Snake is putting on such a show?’

With savage finality, he swallowed it in a single gulp. +1000 Evolutionary Energy instantly appeared.

However...

"Who dares to act so wantonly in the Bai Family’s home?"

Just as Tu Xiao’an was about to continue eating his Gu Snake spicy strips, a voice suddenly rang out. A woman in a qipao was standing in front of the house—he didn’t know when she had appeared. Seeing a five-meter-long Purple Gold Snake, she looked extremely surprised and had a strange expression on her face.

’Well, I guess there was no way to avoid being discovered with all this commotion, unless the other person was dead.’

The moment that Rank Two Gu Snake released its aura, it was impossible for it to go unnoticed.

"The Bai Family? So what?"

Having come this far, Tu Xiao’an opened his massive maw and swallowed all the immobilized Gu Snakes in one gulp, turning them into Evolutionary Energy.

"My children..."

When Ancestor Grandma Bai saw this scene, she was instantly devastated, as if her entire being was about to collapse.

"Children?"

Tu Xiao’an sneered. ’To have painstakingly created these Gu Snakes... perhaps it was indeed like raising her own children.’

"How dare a mere Snake Spirit act so insolently before me, your Ancestor Grandma!" The beautiful woman in the qipao’s almond-shaped eyes flew wide open, a look of both anger and resentment on her face. Her beautiful cheeks twisted into a savage expression, and her mouth filled with long, sharp teeth.

She was going berserk. The woman went berserk in an instant. An incredibly shocking, cold aura erupted from her body. Like a storm scattering the clouds, the very space around her seemed to crumble in an instant.

’This aura...’

Tu Xiao’an was completely stunned. He had been wary of this Ancestor Grandma, whose power his Insight couldn’t penetrate. But due to his dislike of the Bai Family, he had acted without restraint.

’Anyway, if I can’t beat her, I can still run. And if I really can’t get away, I still have another heaven-defying ability up my sleeve.’

But never mind how terrifying or dreadful the aura erupting from the Ancestor Grandma was; the problem was that the aura she was emitting was actually that of the Snake Race.

Not a human Martial Cultivator.

’My god, she’s a Snake Demon that has achieved Transformation! Maybe even at the level of a Demon King.’

This piece of information was nothing short of shocking; it was like being struck by the Five Thunders Strike the Head. Tu Xiao’an had seen the reverent way Bai Chuyan and Bai Junran acted around this Ancestor Grandma.

But why was their Ancestor Grandma a Rank Three Snake Demon?

The Ancestor Grandma of none other than Wencheng’s number one hidden family was a Snake Demon. What kind of situation was this?

’Was I just a frog in a well? Had poverty limited my imagination?’

Just then, a terrifying wave of Energy sealed off the entire courtyard.

Tu Xiao’an cursed inwardly. The opponent had used a special power to seal the area, making it impossible for anyone outside to detect the commotion inside.

In other words, no matter how much chaos erupted in the courtyard, no one outside would be alerted.

The beautiful woman in the qipao was now like a White-Haired Witch, savage and perverse, with none of her former elegance. ’What was her purpose in sealing the space? Was she also trying to hide her identity?’

"Who sent you? How dare you cross me, your Ancestor Grandma!" The beautiful woman’s eyes, like those of a venomous snake, were seared onto the Purple Gold Snake.

"Hold on a second..."

Tu Xiao’an suddenly spoke. The woman froze for a moment. The five-meter Purple Gold Snake’s body abruptly swelled to ten meters, and it opened its massive maw to devour...

...but his target wasn’t the beautiful woman. It was the cherry tree. In a single instant, the entire cherry tree was devoured clean by his giant mouth.

The spot where it stood was now just an empty patch of ground.

’There’s no way this ends cleanly today.’ Tu Xiao’an was still thinking about his Evolutionary Energy. With that one gulp, his Evolutionary Energy skyrocketed.

Evolutionary Energy: 25,320/100,000.

After doing all this, the Purple Gold Snake shimmered and transformed into its human form. Tu Xiao’an smiled, looking pleased with himself.

"I never would have thought that the Bai Family’s Ancestor Grandma was a Snake Demon. You’ve really opened my eyes."

The beautiful woman almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. So his "hold on a second" was just to buy time to swallow her cherry tree in one gulp. His table manners were a bit too ugly, weren’t they?

’What the hell is this thing?’
