#352 - Lingxiao, Xiaohua, and snake pet?
“The certificate of submission, I can hand it over.” Cheng Kong smiled and said, “The White Dragon King of the Two Realms River has some skills, and I am unwilling to provoke him casually.”
“But if it's just taking some relics from his home, it wouldn't be a big deal.”
“Senior Brother Cheng Kong, you speak so boldly! Then, junior brother, may I take it that you have agreed?” Wang Shanlu said, seizing the opportunity.
“You may.” Cheng Kong smiled indifferently, “However, I want to test his skills.”
“How do you want to test him?” Wang Shanlu raised an eyebrow, “The owner of this snake pet, Little Flower, specifically instructed us not to make things difficult for it.”
“…Daoist Wang, what did you just say this flower snake's name is?” The young woman who had been following Cheng Kong spoke up at this moment.
Her expression seemed quite surprised.
“Senior Brother Cheng Kong, who is this?” Wang Shanlu turned his head pretentiously, glancing at the woman.
The person he was asking was Cheng Kong.
“She is Ling Xiao.” Cheng Kong said indifferently, “You can call her Junior Sister Ling Xiao.”
“Oh, so it's Junior Sister Ling Xiao!” Wang Shanlu immediately turned his body and cupped his fist in salute to Ling Xiao, “I am Wang Shanlu, greetings Junior Sister Ling Xiao.”
But in his heart, he sighed slightly.
Finally, he could openly look at this junior sister's beautiful face.
In fact, he had noticed Ling Xiao's existence from the beginning.
Probably no one could ignore a beauty like her.
Because her appearance was truly captivating.
She also had a special temperament.
Dignified and luxurious, radiant and dazzling, elegant and refined.
Like frost and snow in the piercing cold wind.
Her form, light as a startled swan, graceful as a swimming dragon.
Her beauty like the autumn chrysanthemum, her vibrancy like the spring pine. It seems…
Seen from afar, she shines like the sun rising in the morning glow; observed up close, she glows like a lotus emerging from clear water…
Wang Shanlu had never thought that he would one day have such literary talent.
Looking at Ling Xiao in front of him, he could recall every word of the article that he could not memorize when he was young!
Cheng Ji was not to be outdone.
His reaction was even more direct.
He stared straight at Ling Xiao for a moment, then closed his eyes, lowered his gaze, put his palms together, and recited Amitabha.
“Sin, sin.”
“Aji, what Buddha are you suddenly chanting?” Wang Shanlu deliberately asked, knowing the answer.
“Amitabha, sin, sin.” Cheng Ji smiled wryly, “Senior Brother Wang, when I just saw Junior Sister Ling Xiao, I almost thought I saw a Bodhisattva descending to earth.”
“Haha!” Wang Shanlu laughed loudly, but still continued to ask, “This Bodhisattva, is she wearing white clothes?”
“She is indeed wearing white clothes.”
“That's a coincidence, Junior Sister Ling Xiao is also wearing white clothes.”
The two looked at each other and laughed.
That's right, it was impossible to be unmoved by seeing a beauty.
It is only human nature for the heart to be stirred.
“Two junior brothers! It's better to be cautious in your words and actions.” Cheng Kong frowned and said coldly, “Lest you cause trouble!”
“Senior Brother Cheng Kong, Cheng Ji and I are acting spontaneously from the bottom of our hearts, how could we cause trouble?”
Wang Shanlu said with a smile, “Why do I seem to not understand?”
“Wang…” Cheng Kong's face had already turned cold, and he was about to lose his temper.
“Senior Brother Cheng Kong,” Ling Xiao said at this time, “I can't bear the praise of Senior Brother Wang and Senior Brother Cheng Ji, why do you need to be angry?”
As she spoke, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, “Do you think my appearance is ugly, and I am not worthy of such praise?”
Without waiting for Cheng Kong to speak, Ling Xiao turned her gaze to Wang Shanlu and Cheng Ji.
The other shouted repeatedly: “Sin, sin!”
If there was still some sincerity before, it was all pretense at this moment.
They pretended to be exaggerated, with a bit of provocation towards Cheng Kong.
Ling Xiao also didn't take it seriously, and took the opportunity to ask the question she had just asked: “Two senior brothers, you just said that the flower snake below is a snake pet?”
“That's right, it is the snake pet of Xu Chengxian, the guardian of the White Maiden Temple, named Little Flower.”
Wang Shanlu smiled and said, “His master is very careful and afraid of death, and he refuses to come out of the governor's mansion at all.”
“Senior Brother Cheng Kong is here to see the snake pet and see its skills.” He pointed to the flower snake below, “Look, he simply let the snake pet come out to meet you himself.”
“…I see.” Ling Xiao raised her eyebrows.
She tried hard to hold back, so that she didn't laugh out loud.
Little Flower ah, Little Flower.
I didn't expect that after not seeing you for a while, you have become a snake pet?
She followed Cheng Kong from the capital.
The other party didn't tell her the purpose of this trip in detail.
He only said that there was an opportunity in front of her and brought her to take it.
On the way, Ling Xiao inquired and learned about the existence of the White Maiden Temple, and also heard the name Xu Chengxian.
At that time, she had some understanding in her heart that this Xu Chengxian was likely to be her 'good' elder brother in this life.
The other party brought Xiao Cui to the human world.
Moreover, he also obtained the position of a true god to act as a protective charm.
His movements are not slow.
However, he didn't know that Xu Chengxian's true form had become a snake pet.
Then who is the guardian 'person' Xu Chengxian?
Who is he?
Judging from the current situation, this 'Xu Chengxian' must be a human.
Ling Xiao glanced imperceptibly at the three people around her.
Cheng Kong has not met 'Xu Chengxian'.
But the other two must have met him.
If it was a human form transformed from a demon body, it would definitely not be able to hide it from them.
Even if the demonic aura is concealed, it will be detected by cultivators with magic power.
The most troublesome thing is the induction of magic weapons.
What's more, their cultivation is far higher than… wait!
Could it be that Xu Chengxian's cultivation has reached the point where he is stronger than these two?
Or did he accidentally obtain the ability to conceal his demonic aura and hide it from everyone?
These things cannot be known for the time being.
It seems that I have to think of a way to contact my brother first.
“Just now, Senior Brother Cheng Kong wanted to test the skills of this snake pet?” Ling Xiao's mind turned, and she turned to ask Cheng Kong.
“Yes, Junior Sister, although I believe that Junior Brother Wang and Cheng Ji would not deceive me, words are not enough.”
Having been interrupted just now, Cheng Kong, whose face was not good, softened his expression at this time and responded gently, “Therefore, I still have to personally verify it.”
“Senior Brother Cheng Kong, how do you want to test him?” Ling Xiao smiled and said, “Why don't you let me test him for you?”
