Chapter 444: Chapter 410: White Snake

"However, the joy of meeting again far outweighs the hatred."

Besides, Wang Defa had grown tired of being a priest, and Jiang Xiao’s arrival only reaffirmed his resolve to travel around the world.

The two quickly shared their experiences with each other.

Wang Defa, or should I say, Taoist Wang Defa,

had headed to the small town Jiang Xiao had passed through after leaving Lunte City and resolved the mysteries there.

Then, he traveled between continents and, at the same time, betrayed God, becoming engrossed in Eastern Taoist practices.

The Taoist robe he wore was the best proof of this.

He even took on a young apprentice, the little Taoist Chang An.

Now, he was in Hengduan Mountain chasing a snake demon that wreaked havoc on the human world, following its trail to Hangzhou City, where the last trace of its presence disappeared near Liu Town.

Liu Town again?

"As far as I know, she wasn’t a demon that grew up in Hengduan Mountain but became one in Liu Town and then went on to the Hengduan Ranges."

"So, Hangzhou’s Liu Town could very well be this snake demon’s lair?"

Little Taoist Chang An nodded, indicating a high probability.

Since entering Hangzhou, it had moved close to the ground and seemed very familiar with various restricted areas and places it couldn’t go.

"Without two and a half years of practice, her movements couldn’t possibly be so smooth around those bald-monk temples."

Liu Town, the snake demon, Dalian, the mysterious old man in black robes, the Song family...

It was no wonder Jiang Xiao was suspicious—where the snake demon vanished was indeed concerning.

Besides, he and Bai Yi had just been in the area and hadn’t sensed any demonic creature passing by.

"Wang Defa, chasing from the Hengduan Ranges all the way to Hangzhou City? Did this snake demon violate some heavenly rule?"

"Hmph, slaying demons and eliminating evil are our duty as Taoists. I wouldn’t hesitate to bring her to justice, not even if it takes me from the Hengduan Ranges to the ends of the earth!"

At this moment, Wang Defa’s black hair fluttered, his face full of unyielding righteousness, resembling a profound Taoist sage.

Jiang Xiao: (*눈ˍ눈) "Honestly—"

Chang An: (΄◞ิ౪◟ิ‵)

He didn’t even need to say a word; just one expression was enough to shatter his persona...

"Hey, brother, you still don’t quite understand me. In the Taoist sect, I’ve abstained from alcohol and lust, cultivating my character for almost half a year. Did you know? I’ve even been... let’s just say unresponsive for a long time."

Jiang Xiao still vividly remembered Wang Defa’s initial intention to build a cathedral, filled with uniquely charming sexy maids...

"Even though I now possess dual cultivation fruits, Master Yan Chixia still forbids me from touching women, calling women ’scraping knives,’ and I’m not scratch-resistant."

"Then why are you so obsessed with this snake?"

"Because the master said there was a snake demon causing trouble in the Hengduan Ranges and commanded me to handle this snake demon!"

Hmm?

Jiang Xiao was somewhat puzzled, while the excited Chang An explained on behalf of his master.

"Master Yan Chixia personally ordered both my master and me to ’handle’ her. Besides, women may be ’scraping knives,’ but surely female demons aren’t! It shows the master really understands us, both teacher and student."

Hmm?!

Jiang Xiao understood...

No, he couldn’t understand, but he was utterly astonished!

To ’handle’ this snake demon?

In the literal sense?

"Great unwavering, spicy and honorable lord, I hope your mouth’s Yan Chixia Taoist never comprehends your understanding of ’handling.’"

In any case, both Wang Defa and Chang An seemed utterly enchanted by that snake demon.

Jiang Xiao was even curious about the snake demon’s appearance.

"Hehehe, it’s not about how attractive she is. Snake demon... tongue demon... it’s... ah, you wouldn’t understand even if I explained it. Anyway, speaking of which, what happened to the ghost you just captured? Show me."

Taoist arts are diverse, known precisely as ’skills have experts.’

After hearing Jiang Xiao’s story about Dalian, Wang Defa suggested he had a way to restore the confused Dalian’s memories from her previous life.

"Kidding me, even I, a master of both divine and Taoist arts, can’t get this right~"

As he mumbled a mantra, Xiaoyu’s soul was summoned from the scepter by him.

Then another mysterious mantra followed, which he claimed was a highly sophisticated technique of soul summoning from the Taoist lineage.

As his incantations became increasingly complicated.

Even the previously dull face of Xiaoyu began to enliven.

"Xiaoyu, let me ask you, you and..."

"Who is Xiaoyu?" the female ghost asked curiously.

Everyone: ???

"You are! Aren’t you Xiaoyu? Xiaoyu? The daughter from the Song family in Liu Town of Hangzhou City?"

The female ghost looked frankly shocked in her retort.

"No, I’m Xiaoyu, I live near a small village by the Hengduan Mountains, is this Hangzhou City?"

What?

Are you kidding me?

Even someone as good-natured as Jiang Xiao felt a stampede of wild horses in his mind.

He had kindly taken on a simple task, and encountering robbers was one thing.

But now you’re telling me that even the person I rescued is fake, who can bear this?

"Dad! This is too much! We kindly helped them expel a ghost, and their whole family is putting on a play with us, they deserve to be annihilated!"

Bai Yi was also furiously defending her father.

Being made a fool of, no one would be pleased.

Just at that moment, a voice mixed with fear and a touch of surprise came from not far away.

"Xiaoyu! Wow! I never thought I’d see a living ghost!"

Huh?

Following the sound, everyone looked and Chang An was immediately shocked when he saw who it was.

"Such a powerful ghost! In bright red clothes? A resentful spirit! To be so close and I didn’t detect it beforehand, die!"

"Hey hey hey, stop, Chang An the little Taoist, this...ahem, this girl is a person, Yingzi, from Liu Town."

Wang Defa?

d(ŐдŐ๑)

Chang An was astounded, to say the least; it was rare for a human to dress up in such a ghostly fashion.

"Sister Xiaoyu!"

True to her avant-garde style, Yingzi was not at all scared and walked right up to inspect Xiaoyu.

Unexpectedly, this government officer actually managed to capture Xiaoyu.

"I’m really not Xiaoyu, could you have mistaken me for someone else? Because I look like her?"

The female ghost was somewhat confused and also a bit frightened.

Unwilling to believe it, Chang An directly took out a specially made mirror and held it in front of Xiaoyu.

"Look, dare you say you’re not Xiaoyu?"

"Ah! Who is this...this isn’t me!"

After a frantic verification by everyone.

Indeed, this ghost was not Xiaoyu.

After further tracing the source, everyone also figured out what had gone wrong.

Xiaoyu’s soul-summoning technique was not mastered...

Just now, who knows whose soul he summoned into Xiaoyu’s body.

Now "Xiaoyu" claims to be Xiaoyu.

From a family near the Hengduan Mountains, and she doesn’t know any Xiaoyu.

The Hengduan Mountains again?
