我在情人截取了一段小视频

He opened his mouth, and though he made no sound, his lip movements seemed to spell out “MLGB”!

Not just him.

Even the “little snake” in Xu Yang’s sea of consciousness was incredibly shocked!

Had an epiphany again?

This human… was simply unbelievable!

Although his cultivation was average and he was an unrestrained hedonist who liked to make his wife call him “Daddy” during the day, his talent in the “Water Manipulation Skill” was utterly amazing!

Less than an hour.

While chatting, he had two consecutive epiphanies, which was simply outrageous!

20 minutes later.

Xu Yang slowly opened his eyes, saw Wang Hou’s resentful gaze, and chuckled, cursing, “Minister Wang, I’m really sorry… It’s my fault for having epiphanies all the time, I can’t even chat properly with you guys!”

As they were chatting.

Suddenly leaving the conversation for an epiphany – who does that? Oephanies taking 20 whole minutes; how is that polite?

Xu Yang felt very guilty.

Though Wang Hou ‘MMP-ed’ in his heart, he showed a smile and said, “It’s good for young people to have a few epiphanies, back when the spiritual aura had just revived, I was just an ordinary person with some longing for the martial arts…”

“At that time I was only sixteen, and I didn’t even know that ancient martial arts really existed in this world. I just relied on my hobby and a martial arts manual I picked up, which had allowed me to cultivate my primordial energy and complete Flesh Refining, Skin Training, Tendon Training, and Bone Training on my own…”

“So I dropped out of high school, thinking that with my strength and martial arts, I could at least make a name for myself.”

“I hopped on a train and traveled south, and eventually stumbled upon a fortuitous encounter. At the age of eighteen, I figured out the realm of Unity of Heaven and Man by myself and became a Grandmaster in martial arts.”

“After that, I was absorbed into the officialdom by accident… joined the 749 Bureau, and as my strength gradually increased, I became the head of the 749 Bureau. However, the initial intention of the country to establish the 749 Bureau was to study supernatural abilities, so the bureau was mixed with people from martial world, clans, and even some unconventional masters, making it difficult to manage.”

“So I dissolved the 749 Bureau on the spot and, based on the original staff, selected a group of people I trusted to establish the Spirits Management Bureau…”

This was also the first time that Xu Yang and Wang Hou had a deep conversation.

It was also the first time he heard in detail about Wang Hou’s experiences and couldn’t help but sigh, “Minister Wang is truly a martial arts genius. Relying on a picked-up secret manual to learn martial arts and step into the realm of Grandmasters in just two short years is truly enviable!”

Xu Yang’s words were heartfelt.

Wang Hou was indeed gifted!

And on top of that, he was lucky. He would have chance encounters just by stepping outside!

But what about himself?

Except for the external system, he had nothing!

But to Wang Hou and the “little snake” in the Sea of Knowledge, Xu Yang’s words had a different taste.

What the hell are you envious of!

With your rate of having two epiphanies in less than an hour of chatting, is there any talent in this world that you need to be envious of?

As there was no more sound of system prompts in his mind, Xu Yang changed the subject in a low voice, “Minister Wang, you’re a Land Immortal, Grandmaster Chengming is a Daoist True Monarch, and I can also invite a Ghost Immortal, Lord Cui from the Underworld Palace… Since that flood dragon has escaped captivity and hidden in my body, why don’t we just finish her off and eliminate potential problems?”

“Ding!”

“The soul has been frightened. Merit points +10000, physical constitution +1, Water Manipulation Skill +1.”

In the Sea of Knowledge, the “little snake” shivered.

But Wang Hou said, “This method is feasible, I’ll call Grandmaster Chengming now…”

As he took out his cell phone, Xu Yang interjected, “Wait, Minister Wang, don’t make the call yet… On second thought, there might be some hidden secrets. If the flood dragon was really ‘evil,’ why didn’t Heavenly Master Xu kill her back then and instead suppressed her?”

“If she’s truly ‘evil,’ I might not be able to return alive from this trip to the Octagonal Well!”

“This…”

Wang Hou pondered and said, “If the flood dragon won’t do evil, we may not need to go through all this trouble. The Spirits Management Bureau’s duty is to hunt down demons and monsters, but that doesn’t mean we won’t discriminate.”

In the Sea of Knowledge, the “little snake” breathed a long sigh of relief.

However, Xu Yang changed the topic again.

“Even though we’re saying this, we still don’t know if the flood dragon is good or bad… If she wants to harm me, I’ll inform Minister Wang and Grandmaster Chengming immediately, and we’ll join forces to eliminate her!”

Xu Yang made a “knife hand chop” gesture and sneered, “Cut her into eight pieces and stuff her back into the Octagonal Well!”

“Ding!”

“The soul has been frightened. Merit points +10000, physical constitution +1, Water Manipulation Skill +1.”

In his mind, the system prompt came again.

This made Xu Yang feel great, and he immediately said, “No, that’s too cheap for her. We should turn her into a sky lantern, seal her soul inside, and hit her with a hammer if she disobeys. Torture her for thirty to fifty years before sealing her back into the Octagonal Well!”

His face full of shock, Wang Hou secretly thought, “Did Xu Yang suffer some kind of stimulus… How did he suddenly become so twisted?”

*Ding!*

“The soul has been scared. Merit Points +10000, Physique +1, Water Manipulation Skill +1.”

Meanwhile, in his sea of consciousness, the “little snake” was almost scared to death.

This man… is too cruel, right?

Back then, Xu Xun only sealed it, making it redeem itself for its past mistakes. But this man wanted to burn it like a candle… Unable to bear this kind of “scare” anymore, the little snake said, “No… I… I’m a good dragon, I don’t harm people!”

These words echoed in Xu Yang’s mind. The “little snake” was a soul, so its words were something like telepathy, which Minister Wang couldn’t hear.

Xu Yang’s heart stirred slightly, but he didn’t answer. Instead, he quietly used his inner vision to search for the trace of the “evil dragon”.

Eventually, he “saw” the “little snake” in his sea of consciousness. It had two horns on its head, claws on its belly, a big head, and a thin tail, looking extremely wronged.

He used some of his spiritual power to manifest a human figure within his sea of consciousness and chuckled. “You call this a dragon?”

“Why?”

The “little snake” looked at the human figure before it with some fear. It seemed that Xu Yang’s “cruelty” had intimidated it. It raised its head stubbornly and said, “I am a flood dragon with dragon blood, and I only need to overcome the heavenly tribulation to become a true dragon… Why can’t I be called a dragon?”

Xu Yang didn’t bother to argue with the “little snake” on this issue and asked, “Was I unconscious for three days because of you?”

“This can’t be blamed on me. If you want to blame someone, blame your weak primordial spirit…”

Feeling guilty, the “little snake” said, “I just pulled your primordial spirit into the secret realm that trapped me and then split my soul to attach myself to you and escape. I didn’t expect your primordial spirit to be so weak that you would fall into a coma.”

“…”

Xu Yang was speechless.

He never thought that one day he would be looked down upon by a “dragon”.

He pondered for a few seconds, then asked, “Why were you suppressed in the Eight Angle Well?”

This question had puzzled Xu Yang for a long time.

Logically speaking, with Heavenly Master Xu’s strength, killing a flood dragon like this one should be easier than suppressing it. So, why didn’t he just kill it and instead put it in the Eight Angle Well?

The “little snake” fell silent.

After a long while, it slowly spoke, “In the past, I was young and ignorant. After I escaped from my home, I entered Pengli Lake (Poyang Lake) and started playing with water, but I unknowingly caused a massive flood which drowned many people and left countless more homeless.”

“At the time, the south was already suffering from years of floods. Xu Xun led his twelve true disciples to travel around and handle the water disasters, so he found me. He said that my actions were unintentional, and although I didn’t deserve death, I still had to be punished. So, he ordered me to assist him in managing the water disasters.

The “little snake” seemed to be recalling the past and sighed, “Along the way, I saw the people who died due to my playing and the refugees who were forced to leave their hometowns… I felt guilty, and after helping Xu Xun solve the water disasters, I asked him to suppress me for a thousand years to atone for my past mistakes.”

This explanation made sense and perfectly cleared up Xu Yang’s doubts.

However, another question arose in Xu Yang’s heart. Surprised, he asked, “Since you were suppressed for a thousand years… The thousand-year period has long passed, right? Why are you still in the Eight Angle Well now?”

As soon as this matter was mentioned, the “little snake” got excited and gritted its teeth, “I wanted to leave… but after Xu Xun sealed me in the Eight Angle Well, he disappeared. I thought that when the thousand-year period ended, he would let me out… But a thousand years later, it seemed that the world had undergone a great change. I became disoriented and fell into a deep slumber until recently when I finally woke up!”

“The seal that suppressed me still exists, but my strength has decreased significantly due to my long slumber. It’s almost impossible to break the seal on my own. It just so happened that your primordial spirit entered the Eight Angle Well, so I captured your primordial spirit and followed you into the outside world.”

Xu Yang was stunned.

Then he reacted…

It was likely that after suppressing the “little snake”, Xu Xun had “ascended” with his whole family.

That’s why the “little snake” said he had disappeared.

As for the thousand-year period?

According to the Daoist records, Xu Xun ascended with forty-two members of his family on August 1st of the second year of Ningkang in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which was 374 A.D.

Given the information Xu Yang currently knew, the upheavals in the world, the depletion of spiritual aura, and the silence of the Dao all happened during the early Ming Dynasty, which was established in 1368 A.D. It was roughly a thousand years since Xu Xun ascended.

At that time, the world was in turmoil, and both the Heavenly and Yin-Yang Paths were severed. It was normal that Xu Xun couldn’t return to the mortal realm to release the “little snake”.

So, the so-called “evil dragon” was not only not evil, it was actually a pure-hearted and innocent… good dragon!

Of course.

Whether it was “evil” or “good” was not for Xu Yang to decide.

In the eyes of the people who died in the floods caused by the “little snake” back then, it was the greatest evil in the world!

Xu Yang looked at the little snake and asked, “Do you mean that your physical body is still suppressed in the Eight Angle Well? Can you change into a human form?”

“Of course.”

The little snake said, “Dragons like me can naturally transform… And now I am just a fragment of my soul, so I can change as I like.”

As it spoke.

It transformed itself.

Hum!

The “little snake” in the gray mist instantly turned into a slender and graceful girl.
