Invincible Snake Emperor-Chapter 77 - 76: An Invitation to Sleep Together

At the foot of the mountain, He Zhennan took the Supreme Profound Snake and left.

Tu Xiao'an watched his master's tall figure depart and muttered, 'Master, you really don't have to blame yourself so much.'

"It's a knot in his heart,"

Meilin said softly, gently stroking the Silver White Snake's glistening Snake Skin.

"Sister Meilin, do you think I should reveal myself to Master? If I do, will it untie the knot in his heart?"

Tu Xiao'an's Snake Pupils brightened as he spoke. After all, he was still very much alive, just in a different form.

Meilin smiled. "That's something you have to decide for yourself."

"Then I'll decide after my mom's illness is cured."

At that moment, Tu Xiao'an noticed it was getting late and he should probably head home. It had been a long day, but at least his efforts hadn't been in vain; he had gotten his hands on the Supreme Profound Snake.

"Xiao'an, why don't you skip going home tonight? Come sleep at my place."

Meilin was utterly enamored with this transformed snake. The phrase "unable to put it down" perfectly described her feelings.

This woman, who loved snakes as much as her own life, wanted to possess any snake of an extraordinary species, let alone the one she was currently holding—the boy she had watched grow up.

Its appearance, its features—it was simply the handsomest of the Snake Race, utterly captivating.

Tu Xiao'an froze for a moment. "Sleep? How would we sleep?"

"Together, of course," Meilin said, giving him a flirtatious look and a mischievous smile.

Hearing this, Tu Xiao'an's Snake Pupils blinked. He took a deep breath and swallowed hard. A strange glint suddenly appeared in his eyes as his mind instantly leaped to some wicked thoughts. He said shyly, "Sister Meilin, that's not a good idea. How could I sleep with you?"

'A beautiful woman sleeping nestled with a venomous snake... Isn't that a little too titillating? She really knows how to have fun.'

She gave the Silver White Snake in her arms a coquettish glance and teased with a smile, "What, have you forgotten? When we were little, I was staying at your house, and you climbed into my bed in the middle of the night, clamoring to sleep with me."

Tu Xiao'an was instantly mortified and tried to defend himself. "I was just a kid back then!"

"And aren't you even smaller now?"

So small you've turned into a snake.

Er...

Tu Xiao'an was instantly speechless. He opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

They said Lady Bai, Meilin, liked to sleep at night cuddling a venomous snake. From the looks of it, that rumor was actually true.

Everyone probably has a few strange, secret quirks. Hers was one that left you not knowing whether to laugh or cry; she had some heavy tastes.

'I should be happy, but I really can't bring myself to be. I'm just a snake; there's nothing I can do.'

And it was precisely because he was a snake that Sister Meilin was so uninhibited, acting as if it were no big deal.

"Little guy, what's wrong? You're not actually shy, are you?"

"Sister, please stop teasing me. I should just go home. I can't stop worrying about my mom's condition."

Tu Xiao'an heartlessly rejected Sister Meilin's wonderful invitation to sleep together. Though he was a snake, his body contained the soul of a hot-blooded young man.

'This is too much stimulation; my heart can't take it.'

Half an hour later, Tu Xiao'an returned home. His older sister, worried about their mom's illness, was staying by her side and taking meticulous care of her.

Tu Xiao'an immediately shared the good news that the Supreme Profound Snake had been caught with his sister, which allowed her to breathe a small sigh of relief.

Their mom was the one holding this family together. With her here, it was a home. If she were to pass away, the family would truly be shattered, and their world would collapse.

As long as their mom could get well, it would be like a clear, cloudless sky for the siblings.

The next step was simple. Tu Xiao'an just had to wait patiently for Sister Meilin to bring the Supreme Profound Snake's Snake Gallbladder, prepared by his master, for his mom to take.

That night, Tu Xiao'an coiled up under his mom's bed, silently guarding his mother and ensuring she wouldn't be disturbed in the slightest.

The night passed quietly.

Early the next morning, his sister brought a cup of honey water for their mom to drink to prevent her cough from acting up.

Tu Xiao'an had no plans to go out that day. Instead, he stayed home all day, quietly waiting for the Snake Gallbladder to be delivered.

However, he had no idea that the people of Bai Town had been thrown into a frenzy because of him.

A Snake King appearing on She Mountain, controlling Thunder, commanding legions of snakes, and punishing wicked people—these stories had swept through every household in Bai Town overnight like a tornado.

It instantly became the stuff of myth and the hottest topic of conversation.

And the biggest beneficiary of all this was Meilin.

That morning, Meilin's snake shop was so crowded that people nearly broke down the door. Her fame skyrocketed, and for a time, she was the most talked-about person around.

Everyone wanted to see the true face of the legendary Snake King they revered.

Many people also knew that the Snake King had helped Meilin catch the Supreme Profound Snake, so the heads of major snake-related businesses flocked to her shop as well. The Supreme Profound Snake was a Treasure Medicine among Snake Species and held immense research value.

However, many were disappointed, as they didn't get to see the legendary Snake King. But since he was the Snake King, it was only natural that he couldn't be seen just because people wanted to. Meilin casually made up an excuse to placate them, and no one objected, let alone caused any trouble.

Although Meilin had reaped enormous, Formless benefits from all this, making her snake shop famous far and wide, every coin has two sides. Because she hadn't understood the situation earlier and had rashly claimed the Snake King was her pet, she was later cursed by many people.

How could the Snake King possibly be a privately owned pet? Such words were practically blasphemous and undermined the Snake King's lofty status in people's hearts. But Meilin was clever and instantly found a perfect new identity for herself:

The Snake King's envoy and spokesperson.

With that identity, surely no one would dare curse her again.

The news spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. Just like that, everyone in Bai Town learned that Meilin had become the Snake King's envoy. They were filled with envy, jealousy, and hate.

She became a person of such influence in Bai Town that no one dared to cross her, because offending her was the same as offending the Snake King.

Of course, this was all just a postscript. The Snake King's influence was unprecedented, and many of the effects couldn't be detailed specifically.

........

In the afternoon, with nothing better to do, Tu Xiao'an slithered into the backyard and started playing with his pet dog, Xiaobai.

The mutt had changed quite a bit recently. It had benefited from being bathed in the light of Tu Xiao'an's two previous Level-ups and was now starting to look more and more like a proper pet dog.

They had grown closer, too, their relationship quietly returning to what it once was.

WOOF WOOF!

The moment Xiaobai saw the Silver White Snake, it started barking excitedly, overjoyed.

With hope for his mom's recovery, Tu Xiao'an finally had a rare moment to relax. Watching Xiaobai, he was suddenly reminded of a little game he used to play, where he would hold Xiaobai and toss it into the air.

The timid dog would be scared half to death every time he threw it into the air, yelping chaotically.

But times had changed. Now, Tu Xiao'an was just a venomous snake with no hands or feet. He couldn't play that air-toss game with Xiaobai anymore.

'No, that's not right. So what if I have no hands or feet? So what if I'm a snake?' 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

'I'm the Snake King now, and a Snake King is omnipotent!'

Suddenly, a mischievous impulse struck Tu Xiao'an. He looked at Xiaobai, and a powerful wave of Consciousness Power abruptly enveloped the dog.

"Rise!"

Tu Xiao'an's Snake Pupils narrowed. Xiaobai levitated right where it stood, suddenly lifting off the ground as if it had lost its connection to gravity.

WOOF, WOOF...

Xiaobai was terrified. What in the world was happening? A familiar yet frightening feeling washed over it.

"Hehe, Xiaobai, do you still remember this game your master used to play with you?"

It had to be said that Tu Xiao'an's current Consciousness Power was on a completely different level than before. He used it to make Xiaobai flip and tumble in mid-air, and it took no effort at all.

Xiaobai was a full-grown dog. While not large for its breed, it still weighed around thirty kilograms.

The little guy was gluttonous and lazy and had eaten itself into a chubby state; it was definitely a bit overweight.
