Reborn as a Snake: Forging a Demon Court Starting from a Black Python

Chapter 15 The Big Wedding

Lin Xuan not only spoke well of himself, but he also opened his subspace stomach and took out a lot of gold and silver.

He dared not reveal his system storage space in front of Bai Suzhen.

In the game, NPCs ignore storage space, but Lin Xuan dares not gamble on it now.

"Although I can't go in person, I can't leave without giving you a gift. Please accept these things, sister."

When Bai Suzhen heard Lin Xuan say this, a smile appeared on her face. It would be best if Xuan'er thought this way.

As for the gold and silver, she didn't even glance at them. For a great demon like her who had cultivated for thousands of years, gold and silver were nothing but dirt.

On the contrary, Xiaoqing started causing trouble again.

"Little black snake, that's not right! How could you use something your sister gave you and then return it to her as a congratulatory gift?"

Xiaoqing originally thought that the gold and silver Lin Xuan took out were from the snake clan treasures that Bai Suzhen had given to Lin Xuan not long ago.

Xiaoqing's face was full of anger, but a hint of smugness appeared in her eyes, as she felt that she had caught Lin Xuan in the wrong.

If Lin Xuan ever dares to disown her as his older sister, she can bring this up.

Bai Suzhen also felt that Xiaoqing was right.

Although his younger brother had experienced a miraculous adventure, transforming from a black snake into a dragon, he probably wouldn't have had the chance to plunder gold and silver treasures.

Therefore, the item Lin Xuan is handing over now could only have been taken from the treasures he had given him.

But Bai Suzhen wasn't angry at all. Worried that Xiaoqing's words would embarrass Lin Xuan, she proactively said:

"Alright, Xiaoqing, Xuan'er would never do such a thing. I think Xuan'er earned all this gold and silver himself."

As she spoke, Bai Suzhen gently waved her jade hand and put away the gold and silver jewelry.

"Since you're not attending my wedding, Xuan'er, I won't bother you any longer. I'll come looking for you again when I need to deal with that bald monk from Jinshan Temple."

After uttering those words, Bai Suzhen grabbed Xiaoqing and fled quickly.

As they walked away, Lin Xuan let out a long breath and changed back into human skin.

The enormous dragon's body vanished instantly, and the elegant young man reappeared in the same spot.

Lin Xuan shook his head inwardly, thinking to himself that he had been overthinking things.

It turns out that Lin Xuan hasn't been idle these past few days either.

According to the guides he had seen before, as long as he got the oil-paper umbrella and met Bai Suzhen on the Broken Bridge, the marriage would be secure.

You don't need to worry about anything after that. After watching a few cutscenes, you can get married to Bai Suzhen.

But he's a little unsure now, and he's not sure if things will go smoothly.

What should he say if Bai Suzhen suddenly asks about "Young Master Lin's" family background and life story?

Should I just say that I am actually that black dragon?

So during these few days, he went out to play with Bai Suzhen during the day and started throwing money around at night, making up a background for himself.

It's nothing more than having a car and a house, being orphaned, and being alone in a foreign land.

Lin Xuan even spent some money to establish a clan connection with a merchant family surnamed Lin.

Even if Bai Suzhen were truly worried and secretly investigated, she wouldn't find any flaws.

However, Lin Xuan's preparations were completely useless, as Bai Suzhen hadn't even considered this possibility.

Seeing Lin Xuan nod in agreement, she was so happy that she didn't even ask about Lin Xuan's family's attitude.

After spinning around in place a few times, Lin Xuan thought to himself:

"Bai Suzhen's transformation time was too short, which is why she didn't ask so many questions."

"However, my preparations weren't in vain; that bald monk Fahai is no simple character."

"In the original story, when he dealt with Bai Suzhen, he started with Xu Xian. When we clash with Fahai, he probably won't let me off the hook either; he'll definitely want to investigate my background."

"If he discovers my true identity and then reveals that I deceived Bai Suzhen, Bai Suzhen will probably have another thorn in her side."

Lin Xuan frowned again as he thought of this.

In the original Jinshan Temple instance, regardless of whether the player replaced Xu Xian, they basically followed the storyline obediently and waited for Fahai to come to their door.

Lin Xuan knew very well that he could exploit a bug to lure Fahai out before Fahai reached the highest level of cultivation.

In this way, the difficulty of the dungeon will be greatly reduced.

However, there is a price to pay for doing this: the lower Fahai's level, the less reward he will receive after clearing the dungeon.

Therefore, even if many players know how to exploit the bug, they are too lazy to do it.

Anyway, the Jinshan Temple dungeon doesn't have a level restriction, so I can just level up outside first and make sure I can reliably defeat a max-level Fahai before opening this dungeon.

But for Lin Xuan now, the problem is not so simple.

Should we rush to lure out Fahai and lose some spoils, or should we simply follow the plot, outwardly living with Bai Suzhen while secretly leveling up?

Wait until you're at a high enough level before fighting Fahai at his peak?

Lin Xuan pondered silently for a long time.

On the other side, after Bai Suzhen pulled Xiaoqing away, Xiaoqing puffed up her cheeks and began to sulk.

Hmph, my sister is really spoiling that stinky black snake too much!

It's clearly Black Snake who acts unreasonably, so why can't I say it?

Xiaoqing thought it over and over, but in the end she couldn't stand it. She suppressed her anger and endured it for two days until Bai Suzhen thought she had forgotten about it before she finally spoke up.

"Sister, you're going to marry Young Master Lin empty-handed, aren't you? Bringing gold and silver directly into the house would be too vulgar. Give me some money, and I'll prepare a dowry for you."

Bai Suzhen was overjoyed, eagerly awaiting her marriage to Lin Xuan. She didn't notice Xiaoqing's thoughts and nodded in agreement.

"That's true, then I'll have to trouble you, little sister."

Bai Suzhen waved her hand and handed over a storage bag, which contained the gold and silver treasures that Lin Xuan had given her a few days ago.

Xiaoqing's face lit up with joy. Hehe, I've finally seized this opportunity!

Purchasing dowry items doesn't require spending any money; you can just have your underlings handle it.

They have plenty of ways.

At worst, we can just warn them not to make a move in Hangzhou.

As for the gold and silver in his hands, he could keep them; they would become Lin Xuan's leverage in the future!

Xiaoqing took the storage bag, chatted with Bai Suzhen for a few more words, and then hurriedly turned and left.

Once she was sure Bai Suzhen couldn't see her movements, a smile appeared on her face.

"You stinking black snake, serves you right for not calling me 'sister' last time! Next time we meet, let's see how I deal with you!"

As she spoke, she summoned her little demons and opened her storage bag, intending to take out the gold and silver inside and have these little demons bear witness.

To avoid Lin Xuan denying anything when it comes to finding fault with him later.

But when she saw the gold and silver and examined them carefully, her face immediately fell.

"How could this happen?"

At this moment, Xiaoqing's little demons also heard the signal and flew over from a distance.

They were all puzzled when they saw Xiaoqing like this.

"Boss, what's wrong with you?"

Xiaoqing's face was very strange, both dark and red, and after a long while she finally spoke:

"I'm fine! It's my sister who's getting married, so I asked you to come over to help her with her dowry."

Upon hearing this, the little demons immediately danced with joy.

"Big Sister's eldest sister is getting married? This is a big deal, we can't afford to be careless! Big Sister, you wait here, we're going out to steal... oh no, I mean go shopping!"

Although Xiaoqing was still feeling down, she still remembered the important things.

She disliked Black Dragon Lin Xuan, but she still had a good impression of that Young Master Lin.

Besides, this was Bai Suzhen's big day, and she didn't want anything to go wrong.

"Don't rush off! Your great-aunt is telling you that this wedding will be held in Hangzhou. Remember to stay far away when you're working."

"Otherwise, if people find out that what you brought back is stolen goods, hmph, watch out!"

In front of Bai Suzhen, Xiaoqing was just a little sister, but in front of these little demons, she was a formidable character who could not be provoked.

The little demons hurriedly raised their hands: "Don't worry, Big Sister, we know what's important and won't mess with those close to us."

A little demon rolled its eyes and said:

"I heard that the big caravan upstream was recently wiped out by a dragon crossing the river, and the local wealthy families are all worshipping that dragon."

"Wouldn't it be perfect if we went over there and stole those tributes?"

Another lesser demon hesitated and said, "Isn't this a bad idea? What if we provoke that dragon? That would be troublesome."

The little demon shook his head.

"Where would we find any dragons around here? It's all just a rumor!"

"Besides, even if there really is some kind of dragon, we have your backing, so what are we afraid of?"

The other monsters were relieved after hearing this and secretly went upstream to steal the offerings.

Soon it was the end of the month, and Hangzhou was decorated with red and colorful decorations.

Merchants from other places saw this scene and couldn't help but wonder, "What's going on in your Hangzhou city?"

Locals responded immediately.

"You don't even know this? Recently, a young master Lin has emerged in our Hangzhou city. He comes from a large and wealthy family and has acquired many properties in the city."

"This young master Lin is getting married, so of course he'll make a big fuss about it. He's even throwing a banquet. If you want to join in the fun, just go. You don't need to give any congratulatory money."

Someone else said, "I heard that Young Master Lin also invited the monks from Jinshan Temple, but those monks completely ignored him. They really have no decency."

This time, it was the out-of-town merchants who shook their heads.

"Jinshan Temple is a famous ancient temple, so it's normal that they don't get involved in this matter."

The locals scoffed at what the merchants said.

The saying goes, "A distant fragrance smells bad, but a close proximity reveals its true nature." Outsiders, unaware of the true nature of Jinshan Temple, might genuinely believe that the temple is filled with enlightened monks who are detached from worldly affairs.

But they know all too well.

The Buddha and Bodhisattvas enshrined in the main hall may be good, but the monks in the temple... well, let's just say they're not.

However, it wasn't appropriate to say this to outsiders, so they didn't say anything more.

After saying this, the merchant actually found out the location of Young Master Lin's mansion and went over to join in the fun.

The Lin family home was very grand, with carved beams and painted rafters, clearly indicating that a large sum of money had been spent on it.

Moreover, many servants stood at the entrance to greet and see off guests.

Just as the locals said, you can come and eat at the banquet without having to pay any gifts.

The out-of-town merchants nodded and went straight inside.

Entering with him was a local pharmacy owner, who was muttering to himself:

"You might not believe it, but I've known this Mr. Lin for a long time."
