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

Chapter 16 The White Snake's Attention

As soon as the pharmacy owner said this, several people around turned around.

"How did you come to know this young master Lin?"

"Yeah, don't brag to us!"

The pharmacy owner said smugly, "You wouldn't believe it, would you? Young Master Lin only recently arrived in Hangzhou, and he came to my shop to buy medicinal herbs."

"One of our shop assistants was injured at the time, and he gave him several taels of silver. He was such a kind person."

"I was planning to bring that guy over to watch the fun today, but a few days ago he suddenly had a change of heart, took the money and went back to his hometown, saying he wanted to study hard and pass the imperial examinations..."

"By the way, my family's pharmacy recently received a batch of top-quality ginseng. Does anyone want some?"

The boss was talking non-stop and didn't notice Lin Xuan glancing up at him.

Although Lin Xuan is only level 15 and not yet a particularly powerful demon, he already has sharp hearing and eyesight.

Even though the scene was extremely noisy, I could still clearly hear what the boss was saying.

"Unexpectedly, Xu Xian's whereabouts are similar to those in the original game."

Lin Xuan raised the corner of his mouth and smiled.

The world is never short of people who want to have fun. In the Jinshan Temple instance of the game "Myth", there was a player who took away Xu Xian's marriage and then wanted to take Xu Xian to the wedding ceremony.

But they all failed. As long as Xu Xian did not meet Bai Suzhen at the Broken Bridge, he would leave Hangzhou for various reasons and then disappear from sight.

We will absolutely not give players any chance to do anything funny.

"Never mind, they're all just minor details anyway."

Lin Xuan shook his head, putting the matter out of his mind, and went to deal with the other guests.

However, Lin Xuan was unaware that Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing were still discussing him at that moment.

"Sister, your benefactor from your past life is truly remarkable. You've finally found your Mr. Right." Xiaoqing nodded with a smile, full of praise for Lin Xuan.

Bai Suzhen smiled, her eyes filled with happiness.

But a moment later, she suddenly remembered something and grabbed Xiaoqing's hand.

"Xiaoqing, there's something I forgot to tell you."

"What did you do with the gold and silver that Xuan'er gave me a few days ago?"

It turns out that Bai Suzhen was very clever. Although she didn't realize something was wrong at the time, she eventually figured it out.

Bai Suzhen had already guessed that Xiaoqing's desire to take the gold and silver was not simply to help her, but rather to seize the opportunity to find fault with Lin Xuan.

Bai Suzhen said earnestly, "Even if Xuan'er is really just using this as a pretext, there's nothing we can do about it."

"His cultivation time is still short, and my marriage to Young Master Lin happened so suddenly that I didn't give him any time to prepare a wedding gift."

"It's perfectly normal for him to use the money I gave him for this; you mustn't use this to cause him trouble!"

Bai Suzhen spoke very seriously, trying to persuade Xiaoqing to abandon her original plan.

Xiaoqing felt very uncomfortable after hearing this.

That was indeed her initial thought, but she soon realized she was overthinking it.

The gold and silver that Lin Xuan took out had absolutely nothing to do with their snake clan.

Xiaoqing was very disappointed and ashamed, so she decided to keep it to herself and never mention it again.

But she didn't expect Bai Suzhen to bring up the matter on her own initiative.

Xiaoqing's expression was complicated and she seemed very conflicted. She said hesitantly:

"Sister, when did I ever plan to cause trouble for that black snake?"

Seeing Xiaoqing like this, Bai Suzhen sighed inwardly.

He thought Xiaoqing was caught off guard by his words and dared not contradict him, but she was also very dissatisfied with Lin Xuan, which was why her expression was so strange.

Looks like I wasted my breath saying that! What a hassle!

Why did Xiaoqing and Xuan'er suddenly have a conflict?

"Fine, next time I see Xuan'er, I'll have Xiaoqing talk things out with him face-to-face."

Bai Suzhen's eyes darted around, but she didn't say anything more.

Before long, it was evening. Lin Xuan finally managed to send all the guests away and turned to go to the backyard to find Bai Suzhen.

Bai Suzhen noticed Lin Xuan's footsteps early on and hurriedly chased Xiaoqing away, specifically instructing her not to eavesdrop or peek.

Xiaoqing rolled her eyes.

"What's so interesting about peeking?"

Then he actually obediently went out, hid on the roof, saw Lin Xuan enter the bridal chamber, pursed his lips, and turned to leave.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Xuan was lying in bed when a system notification suddenly popped up in front of him.

【Ding! 】

Congratulations on completing the storyline and becoming husband and wife with Lady White Snake!

[Player obtains item: 'The Attention of the Thousand-Year-Old White Snake']

When you encounter danger, Lady White Snake will come to your aid. The item will automatically expire after the dungeon ends.

Lin Xuan read the system notification but didn't take it to heart at all.

In the game, Bai Suzhen will only protect her husband in the Jinshan Temple instance, but the world she lives in is not that simple.

Even if he leaves Hangzhou, his relationship with Bai Suzhen will not end, so the explanation of this prop is meaningless.

"But by then, I, Lin Xuan, probably won't need Bai Suzhen to protect me anymore."

"Husband, what are you thinking about?" Bai Suzhen noticed something while Lin Xuan was lost in thought and asked cautiously.

She thought she had given herself away and that Lin Xuan had discovered something was wrong.

If Lin Xuan were to discover that I am a white snake, that would be troublesome!

Bai Suzhen's heart tightened, and her beautiful eyes stared intently at Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan immediately put away the system panel and smiled at Bai Suzhen, "My wife, I was just thinking about the future."

"Although I still have a lot of money, I can't just sit around and do nothing, so I plan to start a business."

Upon hearing this, Bai Suzhen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, relieved that they hadn't noticed anything wrong with her.

She said nonchalantly:

"This matter is quite simple, but I wonder, young master... what kind of business are you going to do?"

Lin Xuan smiled slightly.

In the original storyline, Xu Xian opened a pharmacy, which was a good fit for his profession.

However, Lin Xuan knew nothing about medicinal herbs and had no interest in them.

He didn't want to do business to make money at all; he just wanted to have an excuse to legitimately contact Jinshan Temple!

Lin Xuan had already made up his mind to end the Jinshan Temple instance as soon as possible, and preferably force Fahai out of the mountain.

For ordinary players, if Fahai is summoned too early, the rewards after clearing the dungeon will be reduced.

But who is Lin Xuan?

He's a professional game booster, an expert in all sorts of bugs.

He had already made a very thorough plan, and even if he only fought a low-level Fahai, the final gains would still be considerable.

They can even loot as many spoils as possible.

Lin Xuan said calmly, "My wife, I plan to open a restaurant."

"I'm short-handed, though. I think your family's servants are quite good; could I borrow them?"

Bai Suzhen frowned slightly.

Your own servants?

They were all minor demons under Xiaoqing's command, with low cultivation levels and unable to transform into human form. They were merely using illusions to disguise themselves as humans.

Anyone with even a little bit of cultivation and spiritual power could see that something was wrong with them.

If it attracts powerful cultivators, then we'll be in trouble!

But Bai Suzhen was unwilling to go against Lin Xuan's wishes, so she had no choice but to say:

"I will listen to my husband in everything. However, they are not professional waiters after all, so there will inevitably be oversights."

"Once you open the restaurant, we'll still need to hire more staff."

Lin Xuan felt reassured and said, "Don't worry, I'll only need them for a few days."
