The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud

Chapter 412: Let Me Call You Suzhen

Seeing the flashing white light, Su Jingzhen’s heart tightened again.

The blood and energy in the body began to circulate fully.

He looked like he was facing a formidable enemy.

In the next instant, a three-meter-long python, as thick as a bowl, appeared on his stone bed.

The python was entirely white, its eyes like two azure gems, shimmering with an otherworldly light.

However, it had two small bumps on its forehead, as if something was about to emerge from them.

Each of its scales shimmered with a strand of white light, its lines graceful yet possessing unparalleled defensive power.

At its tail, a faint white powder hue was present.

At first glance, it was indeed quite aesthetically pleasing.

The moment it appeared on the stone bed, he instantly jumped up and left it.

Su Jingzhen looked at the white python with extreme caution.

The shape and color of this white python were completely different from the giant python he had encountered in the pit.

The one in the pit was noticeably more rugged.

And at that time, it was pitch black.

But their auras were identical.

He knew this must be the same one.

Its size could apparently change at will.

In Su Jingzhen’s view, as long as it wanted, it could probably grow to be a hundred or even a thousand feet long.

Seeing Su Jingzhen’s wary demeanor, the white python’s eyes held a hint of disdain, almost human-like.

Before Su Jingzhen could say anything, the white python directly spoke in human language.

“Didn’t you call me out to talk? Why are you so cowardly now?

What are you looking at me for? Can I eat you?

No, wait, I can actually eat you. But if I wanted to eat you, do you think you’d be alive today?”

The white python’s voice was surprisingly ethereal, which was pleasant to Su Jingzhen’s ears.

But its tone was laced with mockery.

At these words, Su Jingzhen’s heart pounded again.

He couldn’t even begin to imagine what kind of realm a demonic beast that could speak human language had reached.

But he knew one fact: the enormous canyon on Clear Wind Mountain was cut by a sword qi, and that sword qi had struck the white python before him!

And even though this creature had been severed for countless years, it hadn’t died.

Instead, it had resurrected.

Su Jingzhen believed that no one on the Qingzhou land could withstand such a powerful sword strike.

Even though the white python was mocking him mercilessly, he didn’t dare to let down his guard.

Seeing Su Jingzhen’s continued caution, the white python’s eyes flashed with disdain once more.

“Do you really think that with your current cultivation, you can defend yourself against me if I wanted to kill you?”

As soon as the white python spoke, Su Jingzhen suddenly felt a tremendous pressure bearing down on him.

For just a moment, he felt like he couldn’t help but kneel.

But just as quickly, the pressure vanished.

Su Jingzhen then let out a wry smile and put away the black brick in his hand.

The white python was right. When the difference in strength was vast, it wasn’t about who struck first or who defended better.

Of course, his previous defensive stance was largely an instinctive reaction.

Now that he had seen things clearly, Su Jingzhen calmed down.

Having lived two lives, he naturally understood some things.

The white python’s strength was undoubtedly beyond his wildest imagination, but its willingness to talk to him meant there were only two possibilities.

First, this creature was a chatterbox.

After such a long period of silence or forced death, its soul, or perhaps it itself, had become too lonely. It just needed someone to talk to.

Second, this creature was currently in a state of imbalance, and it had some kind of need or dependence on him.

When this thought arose, Su Jingzhen leaned more towards the second possibility.

This gave him a sense of reassurance.

“My name is Su Jingzhen. What is your name?”

After understanding the situation, Su Jingzhen calmly bowed to the white python.

He didn’t pretend to be humble.

At this, a hint of human-like surprise flashed in the white python’s sapphire eyes.

“I don’t have a name.”

Its voice was still ethereal and pleasant. Then, before Su Jingzhen could say anything more, the white python continued, “Let’s cut the crap. I came here to talk to you about the possession situation.

You have a trace of extremely diluted dragon blood, which is very important to me right now.

My state is unstable, and I need to stay with you for a while.

Moreover, the fact that I was able to resurrect has a lot to do with you. We have a deep karmic connection.

So you are quite important to me for the time being.”

These things Su Jingzhen didn’t need to ask, White Python directly volunteered the information.

However, when saying these things, various emotions flickered in the depths of White Python’s eyes.

Killing intent and attachment, these opposing emotions, constantly alternated.

Su Jingzhen, of course, didn’t know this. At this time, although he was shocked, he couldn’t help but ask: “Is that all?”

He always felt that White Python had only said half the reason.

“What else? If it weren’t for the power within you awakening my energy, how could I possibly be resurrected? And how could your injuries have healed so quickly?”

Her words did solve some of Su Jingzhen’s previous doubts.

The immense and gentle power that had helped him recover was indeed from this white python.

Before Su Jingzhen could respond, White Python continued, “I’ve been honest and straightforward enough. You don’t need to have any suspicions.

Tell me, in what kind of way do you want me to be with you? This is the choice I can give you.

If you don’t want it, then I will continue to transform into that tattoo on your waist. You know, with your strength, you have no way to refuse me.”

As soon as White Python said this, Su Jingzhen was stunned again.

He felt helpless.

This white python seemed to be giving him the right to choose, but in reality, Su Jingzhen had no choice at all.

The immense pressure before was just a deterrent from White Python.

It let Su Jingzhen know that it had the power to kill him at any time.

Since he couldn’t refuse right now, he naturally wanted a more secure way to have White Python by his side.

At least appearing as a tattoo on his waist was extremely inappropriate.

After all, when he was intimate with Luo Yuebai later, he wouldn’t be able to explain it to Luo Yuebai.

“Can you not appear on me as a tattoo?”

Hearing this, White Python’s sapphire blue eyes showed a hint of confusion.

Then, a white light flashed on its body, and it disappeared from the stone bed.

When it reappeared, it was already on Su Jingzhen’s waist.

But it wasn’t a tattoo, but a white belt.

White Python’s voice came again: “So you have no worries now, right?”

Su Jingzhen’s eyes lit up.

Being a belt was indeed the best way.

This special connection with White Python was something only he could sense.

Using the python belt for the first time, Su Jingzhen felt a surge of excitement.

Soon, the belt transformed back into White Python, appearing on the stone bed.

At this time, a serious expression appeared in its sapphire blue eyes: “While I’m with you, I’ll constantly absorb the blood qi power within your body.

Of course, I will also return other powers to you.

But your strength is still too weak. According to your human race’s Flesh Body Cultivation system, you should only be at the Flesh Body Golden Embryo stage.

I want you to reach the Nascent Soul Body stage within a month. Is that too difficult?”

Hearing White Python’s words, Su Jingzhen was taken aback.

He hadn’t expected the other party to have such a request.

Before he could respond, White Python continued, “If you can reach the Nascent Soul Body stage within a month, I will bestow upon you some blessings.

But if you fail, don’t blame me for devouring you.”

As she said this, a hint of killing intent flashed deep within White Python’s eyes, making it seem sharper.

At this moment, it seemed to have found a reason to target Su Jingzhen.

This killing intent was directly reflected in its presence, making Su Jingzhen feel it acutely.

Su Jingzhen’s heart pounded again.

He had thought White Python was just joking.

But this killing intent was undeniably real.

For a moment, he was unsure of White Python’s true intentions.

He felt that White Python had both affection and a desire to kill him.

In the next instant, he suddenly remembered the sword qi imprint in his sea of consciousness.

That thing had once killed White Python.

And now it had been completely absorbed by him.

It was perfectly normal for White Python to harbor resentment towards him.

He didn’t mention the situation at this time.

After all, the other party’s request was simply to reach the Nascent Soul Body stage.

Su Jingzhen nodded immediately: “No problem.

If I can’t reach it by then, just eat me.”

White Python remained silent.

But suddenly, it opened its huge mouth.

A black light flashed, and a pile of steel-like scales appeared in the room.

This was undoubtedly its shedded skin.

It was incredibly large and complete.

Looking at this python skin gave Su Jingzhen a sense of familiarity.

“This is the skin I shed before, you can take it as a reward for helping me revive.

Although I sometimes want to kill you for some reason, I do believe in repaying kindness.”

Su Jingzhen’s heart trembled. Although he didn’t ask what level White Python was, it was definitely the highest level he had ever encountered.

Just looking at the perfect luster of the python skin, he knew it was the ultimate material for refining artifacts.

Just plucking a few scales to craft a piece of armor would be several times more advanced than the Phantom Robe.

“In that case, I won’t be polite.”

Facing such a treasure, Su Jingzhen wouldn’t be pretentious at all.

With a movement of his divine consciousness, the pile of snake skin in the room was put away into his storage ring.

Seeing this, White Python’s body flashed with white light again.

“Don’t bother me when I’m not busy. My state is unstable and I need to recover in peace.”

After saying this to Su Jingzhen, White Python was about to transform back into a belt.

“Wait a minute.”

Su Jingzhen immediately said, “It seems like we’ll be spending a lot of time together in the future. I should at least call you something, right?”

Looking at White Python’s appearance, Su Jingzhen suddenly remembered a legend from Earth.

“You are a white snake, so you should use Bai as your surname. Otherwise, I will call you Suzhen.”
