Chapter 41: Transformation into a Dragon
Chapter 41: Transformation into a Dragon
"Sir, Xiaoqing and I are going out for a walk. We'll also ask around to see if there are any shops for sale. We may be back a little later."
Xiaobai stood at the gate of the yard, looking at Xu Xian who was washing dishes by the canal.
"Be careful on the road. If you run into trouble, just say you are the sister-in-law of Chief Constable Li Gongfu." Xu Xian put down a clean bowl, looked up and instructed Xiaobai.
Xiao Bai smiled faintly: "I understand, sir."
She heard Xu Xian's care and concern, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart.
Although she is not afraid of any trouble, which woman doesn't want to be remembered by her husband?
"Hey, let's go, sister!" Xiaoqing grabbed Xiaobai's arm and pulled Xiaobai out of the door.
Xiaobai smiled, with a doting look in his eyes.
"Sister, Xu Xian is so abominable!" Xiao Qing puffed her cheeks and said, "He took up both of your eyes, but he wouldn't even give me a little of your peripheral vision."
Xiaobai blinked and laughed secretly in his heart.
"How can you blame the official?"
She held Xiaoqing's hand and whispered, "You are obviously blaming your sister. You blame your sister for only talking to the master and ignoring you, a jealous little girl."
"I didn't say that." Xiaoqing turned her face away.
Xiaobai smiled with his lips pursed.
After she married Xu Xian, she not only gained Xu Xian's love, but Xiaoqing's love for her also seemed to deepen, and she would become jealous of him at every turn.
It was as if she was not getting married, but she married Xu Xian and Xiaoqing at the same time.
"Hey!" Xiao Qing exclaimed in surprise, "Sister, look, are those the two cranes we released this morning?"
Crane? Xiaobai followed Xiaoqing's gaze.
Behind a tree not far away, two fat white figures appeared.
They have been trying hard to hide.
But they underestimated their own size, hiding their heads behind the trees, leaving both wings exposed!
It doesn't seem like they are hiding behind the trees, but rather that the trees are hiding in front of them.
Xiaoqing's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly: "They dared to come back after I let them go. I deserve to eat them!"
The White Crane Boy behind the tree shivered a few times.
They heard it clearly.
This snake demon is so evil, it wants to eat them again, run away!
Teng! Teng!
They stretched out their short legs and desperately fled to the center of the pond, like two balls rolling on the water.
"Tsk." Xiaoqing curled her lips.
She actually didn't want to do anything, after all, Xiaobai was still beside her.
But these two cranes are quite smart.
As soon as she said she wanted to eat, the two cranes ran away.
"White cranes are very spirited." Xiao Bai said softly, "If they don't leave, let them stay in this pond."
"Don't disturb them."
"Next year, maybe she'll give birth to a bunch of little cranes."
Xiaobai imagined the scene of flocks of white cranes, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.
"I understand. They are lucky." Xiaoqing nodded.
She thought, why not keep these two white cranes? It would be a wonder if they can grow so fat.
Most importantly, my sister likes it.
The rushing water falls down a cliff hundreds of feet high, forming a very wide white water curtain in the air, hanging outside the cave like a natural screen.
In the cave, Xiaobai sat cross-legged with his eyes closed.
There was an empty jade bottle at hand.
This was what Xiaoqing searched out from the old Taoist priest who ambushed her. There was only a pill inside, which was full of spiritual energy.
Although I don’t know what it is specifically, it is definitely beneficial to spiritual practice.
After Xiaobai took it, he meditated to absorb it.
Her breath grew stronger and the weakness receded.
Xiaoqing is Xiaobai's guardian. She sits on the edge of the cave, kicking the water of the waterfall with her toes, having a lot of fun.
After a while, Xiaobai let out a breath of foul air.
She opened her eyes, and a white snake shadow flashed across her pupils, and she exuded a calm and solid aura.
"Sister, is your injury healed?" Xiaoqing came over, her voice full of concern.
"It's all right." Xiaobai said seriously, "Thank you, Xiaoqing."
She understood that it was thanks to Xiaoqing that she found this elixir, otherwise her blood and essence deficiency would have continued for some time.
If you delay it for too long, it will be irreversible.
"If my sister is good, then I am good too." Xiaoqing winked cunningly, "Am I more useful than Xu Xian?"
Xiaobai smiled, stretched out his hand and scratched Xiaoqing's nose, and said gently: "You are my family, you can't be measured by your usefulness."
"I knew my sister would say that." Xiaoqing rolled her eyes.
She just wanted to hear Xiaobai say that she was more useful than Xu Xian. Even though it itself meant nothing, she would be happy about it for several days.
She thought to herself, Xu Xian is not here anyway, so can't he just coax me?
snort!
Xiaobai rubbed Xiaoqing's hair lovingly.
During the days when she met Xu Xian, Xiaoqing hummed more times than in the past five hundred years combined.
I'm really jealous.
Xiao Qing didn't stay angry for long. She quickly said, "Sister, your cultivation has reached a bottleneck. Now you just need to take the elixir and you can transcend the calamity and transform into a dragon, right?"
There was a hint of longing in her eyes.
There is no snake that doesn't want to transform into a dragon. Transforming into a dragon is the dream of all snake monsters!
Xiao Bai hesitated and said uncertainly: "I don't know either, but I have felt the shackles on my bloodline. It is a shackle that imprisons the future of snakes."
"Then break it!" Xiaoqing didn't care.
Xiao Bai shook her head and sighed, "It's not as easy as you think. Transforming into a dragon is against the will of heaven. Heaven will send down a thunderstorm. If you are not careful, your soul will be shattered!"
"Are there not many examples like this throughout history?"
Xiaoqing frowned.
She knew that Xiaobai was telling the truth.
Don't even think about turning into a dragon.
When it comes to spiritual practice, anything that has anything to do with overcoming tribulations is filled with murderous intent!
"What should we do then?" Xiao Qing asked worriedly, "Even if you don't take the initiative to transform into a dragon, after a hundred years, your cultivation will no longer be able to be suppressed, and you will have to transcend the tribulation, right?"
Xiaobai pursed his lips.
If you don't want to go through the tribulation, there is a way.
She can cut off her own spiritual power.
But deep down in her heart she also longed to transcend the calamity and transform into a dragon, but she was not sure at the moment.
"Part of the demonic power in my body was grown by taking elixirs, and it will take some time to stabilize."
Xiao Bai took a deep breath and whispered, "Once I have stabilized these demonic powers, I will split the spiritual medicine in two, you take half and I take half."
"That should be a two or three thousand year old spiritual herb." She speculated, "Half of the medicinal power will not allow me to transcend the tribulation immediately."
"And you can also rely on that spiritual medicine to increase your spiritual power."
Xiaoqing nodded and said excitedly, "Okay, when sister succeeds in overcoming the tribulation, pass on your experience to me and I will also overcome the tribulation and transform into a dragon. Then we will be two dragons and no one can stop us!"
She imagined the magnificent scene of herself and Xiaobai, two dragons dancing under the thunder.
"Yeah." Xiaobai nodded.
She stood up and said, "It's getting late. We should go back. I still need to inquire about the store for the master."
She held Xiaoqing's hand and jumped.
The waterfall roars and the water splashes.
Qingbai was like a startled wild goose, disappearing into the dense forest.
