"He agreed?"

Lady Golden Snake stood in front of the window, overlooking the entire Taiying, the grandeur of the Golden Silk Sculpture Tower allowed her to take the city into her eyes, and also made her feel temporary freedom.

"I don't know."

As if talking to herself, Lady Golden Snake lowered her head and said softly: "He finally told me that if the fate of the demon clan is to close itself, it will only be a matter of time before it perishes. He didn't want to betray the Han king in exchange for the continuation of a race that was bound to perish. ”

"Why?"

"Hatred."

Gently clenching the cloth in her hand, Lady Golden Snake closed her eyes and said softly: "Ever since I saw Zuo Wufu eat that innocent hunter in order to save the fox, I have understood that the rift between humans and demons has long been irreparable. We are not qualified or capable of tackling hatred. ”

"Is the hunter innocent?"

"Innocent."

Lady Snake replied decisively, "It is the hunter's duty to hunt animals. If he is killed by his prey due to negligence, it is his own problem. But if he was just killed by an unrelated youkai on the way to hunt animals, you say, is this still his problem? ”

"Why is the demon clan innocent, born to be hunted by others?"

"I don't know."

Lady Golden Snake was a little depressed, she looked at her hands, and said softly:

"I've never eaten people, and I've never dared to eat people. I was born to look like a human being, so I can't get out of my mouth. But my compatriots, they are born animals, hunters, and they see humans as food, meat to eat. They transform into human beings simply because they are more convenient to take on human form and easier to kill other people. ”

"There are also many youkai who have never eaten people, you know it in your heart."

"Does it work?"

Mrs. Golden Snake clenched the cloth, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said softly: "Zhou Li is right, the relationship between humans and demons is no longer hatred, but a duel for the survival of the race. However, our demon clan has long since lost, and our attempt to enslave humans thousands of years ago was our last chance. We've failed, and now, humanity is about to crush us completely, and finally..."

"Exterminate us."

"That's right."

A dim glint appeared in Lady Golden Snake's eyes, and she looked at the back of her hand, a little sad and a little relieved, "He didn't want to help us, but he didn't refuse us. He said we'd fail, and he said we're not stupid, and I don't know what he wants. ”

"Strength?"

"Nope."

Shaking her head, Lady Golden Snake said indifferently: "The seven fairies have long recognized his existence, as long as Zhou Li wants to, he can directly refine the jade gourd, take the seven immortal paths as his own, and become the best immortal in the world." But he hadn't even thought about it, so he wasn't under my control now. ”

"Cunning."

"If he is greedy, you can manipulate him and drive him in a big way. But if he is not manipulated, it proves that he has the possibility of being convinced. ”

"I am a snake, and snakes have never had anything to do with righteousness."

Mrs. Golden Snake said indifferently: "Zhou Li has long been out of my control, and I left Zuo Qianhu to him to show favor to him." I didn't expect that in just a few months, he would grow like this..."

"It's unpredictable."

"Zhuge Qing is a variable that I never thought of."

Sighing lightly, Lady Golden Snake lowered her eyes and said slowly: "The old Heavenly Master of Zhengyi, he knows everything about what I do, but he didn't interfere with me, which proves that everything I did was within the permission of the Heavenly Dao. But Zhuge Qing is the only one who is not bound by the way of heaven, and she can disrupt all my plans as long as she wants to. ”

"She can't beat you."

"She and Zhou Li together, not necessarily."

Lady Golden Snake was very calm, her eyes were full of indifference unique to cold-blooded animals, "Yun Baibai, the only bloodline of the Wuxi Divine Witch, if I want to go on, let alone kill her, I even have to protect her." Xu Xuan and Xu are very big, the Nine Lives Xuan Cat and what are they, the two auspicious Rui gathered around one person, and they were willing to help him cover up their fate, I really..."

"Incomprehensible."

Frowning tightly, Lady Golden Snake was puzzled: "And that of my kindred, the Blue Water Snake, the bloodline descendant of the dignified Sky Swallowing Python, but he willingly followed his side, and even refused to resonate with me. Liu Gong, an old man who was not ready to get involved in this matter, was willing to provide him with so much help, and even had a bad relationship with the King of Han..."

"Is he a succubus?"

"But the problem is, there's more to it than that."

Looking at the imitation Han Wang Decree in her hand, Mrs. Golden Snake lowered her eyes and said softly:

"Zhu Qianyun, Tang Guan. One is the daughter of the King of Han, and the other is the young master of the Tang Sect, I still can't understand how such two people have a relationship with Zhou Li, an unknown person, and are even willing to face me and the King of Han for him. If I don't have Tang Guan today, I can add more things to my glass of wine. ”

"What? Unhappy? A kid who could have been left to his own hands has grown to the point where he needs to have a long talk with him in a few months. ”

"That's the price."

Lady Golden Snake slowly sat on the edge of the bed and said softly: "If it is Hou Jue who controls the jade gourd, I am afraid that he can only wake up the three fairies during this time, and my plan can only be delayed, and if the King of Han wants to solve me, it will be effortless." ”

"yes, I didn't expect that."

Mrs. Golden Snake said with a little headache: "Originally, I planned to drain the water for a long time, and then close all the nets in a year. But King Han actually made a fool of himself, and all the original plans were disrupted, and all my arrangements had to be acted on in advance. If we hadn't been in a hurry, we would have controlled two dragon veins by now, not just one. ”

"If it weren't for the fact that Zhou Li got the jade gourd seed by mistake, I'm afraid the plan would have completely failed."

"Yes, if he didn't wake up the Seven Fairies and came to Taiying, my plan would have completely collapsed."

Sighing lightly, not knowing whether it was a blessing or a curse, Mrs. Golden Snake said softly in a complicated voice: "If it weren't for Zhou Li, the Seven Fairies would not be able to be awakened in time, Zuo Qianhu would not be able to return to Taiying, and Gui Daozi, who was lured to Beiliang, would also make a disturbance, attracting the attention of the imperial court, I am afraid that my plan would have collapsed long ago." ”

"But he has grown to the point where you can't control it at will, and it's a mistake."

"yes, by mistake."

Turning around, a faint luster gradually appeared in the eyes of Madame Golden Snake. She looked behind her, at the faint figure in the wall behind the red tent, and said softly:

"So, this time I need your help."

"Your Highness."

In the stone wall that no one had ever seen, a statue of a black dragon was entrenched, its eyes closed, and the twelve missing stars were dim, as if all luster had been hidden.

"Huh." (End of chapter)
