Chapter 41 Someone is bullying me
Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing remained silent for a long time, without saying a word.
Even though Bai Suzhen had joked not long ago that Lin Xuan might be able to make another breakthrough, she never expected that Lin Xuan would actually be able to do it.
In Bai Suzhen's view, her younger brother was indeed talented, but his potential was too low.
It was born as a black snake, and even after gaining the form of a dragon, it failed to truly transform into a dragon.
To make up for the deficit and become a true dragon, Lin Xuan would need at least several hundred years.
unless……
Remembering something, Bai Suzhen suddenly asked, "Xuan'er, have you encountered anyone these past few days?"
Unless Lin Xuan encounters an immortal and receives a divine favor, he will not be able to display the power of the dragon.
Lin Xuan also guessed Bai Suzhen's thoughts.
A predestined fate!
In the game "Myth", you usually have to complete specific tasks and meet specific conditions to obtain it.
Of course, some players are extremely lucky and can obtain it out of thin air, but that is ultimately a very small minority.
Lin Xuan gently shook his head.
"Sister, you're joking. I really haven't encountered any immortals these past few days."
"If I had to put it into words, it would be that I encountered a stupid tiger and a few blind little demons."
Bai Suzhen stared intently at Lin Xuan, noticing that he spoke very naturally and with a calm expression, his large face showing no emotion.
His vertical pupils didn't flinch at all, staring straight at me.
Bai Suzhen believed it, but she became even more suspicious.
Without a destined connection to the immortals, how could Lin Xuan have become a true dragon?
This doesn't make any sense at all!
If Bai Suzhen was like this, then Xiaoqing was even more so.
She shed her human form and transformed into a large blue snake, circling Lin Xuan several times, trying to find a weakness in him.
"Hmph, I don't believe this black snake possesses such dragon might; it must be using some kind of illusion!"
Xiaoqing circled around Lin Xuan, leaving deep marks on the ground.
Lin Xuan found it somewhat amusing to see Xiao Qing do this.
"Little Green Sister, what are you doing? Does your Green Snake clan have such a way of celebrating?"
"I've never heard of this before."
Xiaoqing was naturally angry. She stopped and flicked her tongue at Lin Xuan, saying, "We green snakes don't have such customs. Besides, why should I celebrate?"
Lin Xuan smiled and said:
"Of course I'm celebrating for myself! What's wrong, Little Qing? How can you be so disregarding our sibling bond? Your brother has been working hard to break through, and you're not even happy?"
Xiaoqing was furious upon hearing this, her tongue flicking in and out, revealing her fangs, as if she might bite Lin Xuan at any moment.
Bai Suzhen finally couldn't stand it anymore, walked over to Xiaoqing's side, patted her tail, and said:
"Alright, Xiaoqing, don't do anything reckless."
Although Xiaoqing's body size increased dozens of times after she regained her snake form, she looked much bigger than Bai Suzhen.
But after Bai Suzhen's jade hand landed on Xiaoqing, Xiaoqing immediately felt the pressure and dared not act recklessly again, obediently turning back into her original form.
However, Xiaoqing's expression was still not good. Her little face was puffed up with anger, and she was muttering something under her breath.
Bai Suzhen listened intently and discovered that Xiaoqing was cursing Lin Xuan again, which made her laugh.
"Sigh, Xiaoqing is really boring. In the end, she and Xuan'er don't have any deep-seated hatred; they were just bickering. Why does she keep dwelling on it?"
"And Xuan'er too, he really loves teasing Xiaoqing."
After a moment of reflection, Bai Suzhen suddenly felt something was amiss.
In terms of lifespan, Xiaoqing is many times longer than Lin Xuan, but why do I always feel that Lin Xuan should give way to Xiaoqing?
It seems that Lin Xuan isn't the only one who likes to call Xiao Qing his sister.
Even Bai Suzhen herself thought that Lin Xuan was Xiaoqing's brother.
Thinking of this, Bai Suzhen felt a little embarrassed and felt sorry for her good sister Xiaoqing.
She coughed lightly a few times, not mentioning the bet they made before setting off, but simply instructed Xiaoqing:
"Sister, Xuan'er just displayed the power of a dragon, which may have alerted someone. Go and investigate the surrounding area, and make sure that the bald monks at Jinshan Temple don't notice anything amiss."
Xiaoqing hummed a few times, nodded, and turned to leave.
After Xiaoqing had completely gone far away, Bai Suzhen turned around and walked to Lin Xuan's side, feeling the dragon's might emanating from him.
She couldn't help but sigh, "Xuan'er, I know very well that you can't take this step through hard work alone."
"But I won't ask. You know what's important."
"When you encounter other demons in the future, you must never reveal this secret, or you will face great danger!"
Bai Suzhen spoke earnestly, genuinely worried about Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan was moved. Even disregarding that marriage, Bai Suzhen had been quite kind to her younger brother.
He didn't really care about what Bai Suzhen said.
I, Lin Xuan, am not stupid. How could I be so foolish as to expose my true colors for nothing?
Especially in the ancient Kunlun Mountains, he not only emptied the entire herb garden, but also prepared a scapegoat according to the strategy guide.
He even considered this point, so how could he possibly cause trouble?
Moreover, Lin Xuan had already planned that after absorbing the dragon energy of Jinshan Temple, he could go even further.
At that point, his changes will no longer be able to hide from those who are interested.
A black water venomous dragon, although it is considered very powerful in the mortal world, can still be explained. Perhaps it is a bloodline left behind by a dragon that made a mistake.
But when Lin Xuan undergoes another transformation, it will no longer be able to be concealed.
Anyone who sees his true form will want to know his origins and background.
In the game "Mythology", this is not a concern at all.
Other players might just want to ask for guides, see if they can replicate the strategy, or try to exploit bugs.
The NPC's question is just a casual remark, and unless a specific plot point is triggered, there will be no follow-up.
But things are different now.
The Heavenly Court will definitely not stand idly by when a dragon of unknown origin suddenly appears out of nowhere.
Bai Suzhen's reminder made no sense.
But Lin Xuan knew that Bai Suzhen meant well, so he didn't voice these thoughts, and simply nodded:
"Thank you so much, sister. If you hadn't reminded me, I'm afraid I would have encountered a lot of danger in the future."
Bai Suzhen nodded slowly:
"It's good that you know the difference between what's important and what's not."
"We came to you this time hoping to ask for your help in protecting your brother-in-law, but now it seems that's not appropriate."
Lin Xuan's dragon aura was too conspicuous; anyone with even a little cultivation would know that there was a dragon nearby.
If this alerts those bald monks, things will turn out badly.
Bai Suzhen quickly changed her approach and said to Lin Xuan:
"Xuan'er, focus on your cultivation these next few days to stabilize your bloodline. When I start fighting those bald monks, you can suddenly appear and catch them off guard!"
Lin Xuan is now able to help Bai Suzhen.
Lin Xuan immediately nodded: "Don't worry, sister, I will definitely help when the time comes."
Bai Suzhen smiled and chatted with Lin Xuan for a few moments before turning and leaving to look for Xiaoqing.
Watching Bai Suzhen's figure gradually disappear into the distance, Lin Xuan sighed, hurriedly flew back into the sky, and began to rush home.
Otherwise, if Bai Suzhen returns to the Lin residence and finds that her husband is missing, that would be another problem.
But Lin Xuan was overthinking it; Bai Suzhen had already spent a lot of time and effort just searching for Xiaoqing.
It turns out that after Xiaoqing was sent away by Bai Suzhen, she actually did obediently patrol the surroundings at first.
After she made sure that no one had noticed Long Wei, she sat cross-legged on the ground, recalling what had just happened, and became angrier the more she thought about it.
"Hmph, what makes that black snake so lucky? First, it somehow got the appearance of a dragon, and now, after just a few days, it's...it's infuriating!"
Xiaoqing shook her head and started spinning in circles.
"Now look what's happened! I made a bet with my sister before we left, and I lost. Does this mean I have to genuinely call him 'brother' from now on?"
In her anxiety and anger, Xiaoqing remembered something else and became even more dissatisfied.
"Lin Xuan is such a hypocrite! He started by saying it was just a minor breakthrough, making it sound like it was nothing."
"But he eventually gave himself away, asking if I was celebrating for him. If he really didn't care about the breakthrough, he wouldn't have said something like that!"
"Pretentious!"
Xiaoqing was naive, not stupid. She couldn't understand some things at the time, but she saw them clearly after stepping back.
But it was no use saying these words now; Lin Xuan couldn't hear them, and Xiao Qing was too embarrassed to confront Lin Xuan again.
"Next time I see that black snake, I'd better be careful! If he dares to show any weakness again, I'll seize the opportunity and make him look bad!"
Xiaoqing suddenly stretched out her fist and waved it in front of her to cheer herself up.
"Xiaoqing, so you're here?" Just as Xiaoqing was throwing a punch, Bai Suzhen finally found her.
Bai Suzhen saw Xiaoqing spinning around and throwing punches from afar and guessed what Xiaoqing was thinking.
She flew to Xiaoqing's side and said earnestly:
"Little sister, are you scolding Xuan'er again? Have you forgotten our bet?"
Upon hearing Bai Suzhen mention the bet, Xiaoqing's face stiffened. She didn't dare to reply, nor did she turn around, as if she had been frozen in place.
Bai Suzhen breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this; it seemed that Xiaoqing had no intention of reneging on her debt.
She said softly, "Xiaoqing, I know you don't quite see Xuan'er clearly, and you think he's completely a latecomer who has surpassed you."
"But think about it carefully, if you keep making sarcastic remarks to him, wouldn't that make Xuan'er angry?"
"If he turns against you because of this, wouldn't that be creating an enemy for nothing?"
Xiaoqing knew Bai Suzhen meant well, but she still stubbornly refused to admit it.
"So what? Even if that black snake wants to cause me trouble, I'm not afraid of him!"
Bai Suzhen covered her head in exasperation. Why wouldn't Xiaoqing listen to advice?
She quickly took a deep breath and became stern.
"So, Xiaoqing, you're going to break your bet?"
Xiaoqing sensed something was wrong with Bai Suzhen's tone and, worried that Bai Suzhen was angry, quickly shook her head.
"Sister, you're overthinking it. How could I, Xiaoqing, do such a thing? Don't worry, from now on... from now on I'll just call Lin Xuan 'Brother'! And I'll treat him better!"
Bai Suzhen was relieved.
"Xiaoqing, if you could really do that, that would be wonderful."
"Alright, let's go back. We can't keep our husband waiting, or it won't be easy to explain if he asks..."
But Bai Suzhen didn't notice that although Xiaoqing verbally agreed, she was not completely convinced in her heart.
After they returned to the Lin residence, Xiaoqing took advantage of Bai Suzhen's preparations to guard against the monks' nighttime attacks and found Lin Xuan.
"Brother-in-law, someone is bullying me!"
