"I always thought I was different from that fox demon and flying corpse..."
"My love may be that of fellow disciples, or that of master and disciple, but it cannot be that of a man and a woman."
"But now it seems that I obviously overestimated my determination."
Xiaoqing has a clear understanding of her own character. She never thinks that a cold-blooded animal like herself can be "heart-beating".
Even after realizing that he was in love, Xiao Qing just thought that he had gained too much from Pei Wende, so he felt a certain degree of gratitude towards him.
Just like those monsters who like to repay favors, sooner or later this kind of kindness will gradually fade with the passage of time.
But when she noticed that Pei Wende was "in heat" at that moment, Xiao Qing suddenly realized that her love crisis was not as simple as she imagined?
[Actually, from the perspective of snakes...]
[Although Mohu Luojia's appearance is a bit ugly, at least it meets the standard of 'fierce'. 】
Xiaoqing, who was getting closer to Pei Wende who was sitting cross-legged and meditating, looked down at him from this perspective for the first time and was thinking like this.
The question she was just thinking about made Xiaoqing feel a little laughable - when did she become what Pei Wende called a "look guy".
[So from a human perspective, does my current appearance conform to their aesthetics? 】
The soft palms gently touched Pei Wende's cheek, and Xiaoqing was seen "holding" the slightly immature face with both hands, but a hint of intoxication flashed in his eyes.
It is different from the previous little green snake, half-demon form, and even the prototype of the big blue-scaled snake.
This is the first time Xiaoqing has come into contact with Pei Wende in a very "equal" manner in terms of form, appearance, and even height after successfully transforming.
This feeling made Xiaoqing feel novel, as if she had really become a human being.
Especially when looking at Pei Wende carefully, Xiaoqing could clearly feel that his heartbeat was accelerating, just like when Pei Wende was "in heat".
This is a heart-pounding feeling, and it is also a feeling that the original Green Snake would never have had.
[No wonder there are so many monsters trapped in love and unable to extricate themselves. This feeling is indeed very fascinating. 】
Under the influence of hormones, Xiao Qing, who had always been calm and unruly, had some kind of impulse for the first time, an impulse that completely violated his survival principles.
However, Xiaoqing is not one of those ordinary monsters after all. With her super self-control, not only was she not disturbed by this impulse, she was actually a little curious about the reason for it.
If I can only find the cause of this "impulse", can I permanently avoid love disaster?
After all, although Xiaoqing's idea of giving up her seven emotions and six desires failed, she is still curious about the emotions generated by long-term contact between living beings.
Is it a spiritual dependence or a physical impulse?
[Or is it both? 】
Withdrawing the hands that were caressing Pei Wende, Xiaoqing stood up straight again and took a deep breath, and the restlessness in her heart calmed down again.
"I have plenty of time to slowly explore the source of this emotion..."
"Trust me, you do too."
The calm voice was full of strong tone, as if Xiaoqing was telling some established fact.
swish swish...
It's like the sound of scales scraping the ground, or the sound of snakes shedding their skin...
Xiaoqing's body was like a violently deformed alien, and she quickly transformed from a normal woman into a coquettish snake girl with the body of a snake and the tail of a snake.
"hiss……"
Along with a snake-like hiss, a forked tongue came out of Xiaoqing's mouth.
Immediately afterwards, Xiaoqing, who had entered the state, quietly closed her eyes and entered a deep meditation mode that was infinitely close to dormancy.
Echoes, temperature differences, vibrations, and even spiritual sensations...
At this moment, except Zen Master Lingyou's exclusive Zen room, all the movements in Weishan are under Xiaoqing's control.
Inside the temple, in the mountains and fields, there are huge animal paths in the mountains and forests...
If there is any slight movement anywhere, Xiaoqing can detect it immediately and react accordingly.
Just like Zhang Chusheng who is currently studying hard in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion...
It's like Yue'er tossing and turning in bed unable to sleep...
As if experiencing it personally, Green Snake not only knows all the movements inside and outside Weishan, but can even simulate the next actions of the visitors based on their respective states.
——Secret Technique of Green Snake·Snake Slough!
It is no longer the "snake shed" that was used purely for meditation, vigilance, and self-healing.
After practicing for such a long time, Green Snake has already deduced this secret method that combines its own characteristics to a new level.
After all, Pei Wende is not the only one who has been making progress.
Xiaoqing, who had been practicing for a hundred years earlier than him, after seeing various secret techniques and knowledge, he also accumulated a lot of knowledge and advanced in Taoism at a speed unimaginable by ordinary monsters.

"Huh?"
As if he was aware of Xiaoqing's prying eyes, Zhang Chusheng, who was studying hard in the Sutra Pavilion, suddenly raised his head and looked at the ceiling, with undisguised suspicion in his eyes.
"Illusion?"
On the ceiling of the Sutra Pavilion, an "eternal lantern" carefully crafted by Pei Wende hangs high.
That was not an oil lamp in the conventional sense, nor was it a common electric lamp in later generations...
Instead, Pei Wende imitated the chemical reaction mechanism of the "light stick" and asked Xiao Qing to specially prepare the "night light".
Although it is not as bright as a real electric lamp, this "everlasting lamp" has the advantages of not easily causing fire and being able to illuminate for a long time, so it has naturally become the standard equipment of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion.
For this reason, Pei Wende shamelessly asked Xiaoqing for help in making a lot of messy chemical materials.
"It's just an illusion after all."
Shaking his head vigorously, Zhang Chusheng found nothing unusual and could only comfort himself in a low voice.
"This is a holy land of Buddhism. What ghosts dare to come and cause trouble in this place?"
Although he comforted himself like this, Zhang Chusheng still decided to end the day's study.
After all, it was already getting late, and Zhang Chusheng had not yet reached the level of Pei Wende. He had to get enough sleep to ensure that he could continue to practice and study energetically the next day.
"Speaking of which, senior brother seems to be planning to let Yue'er study Jiu Zhang in the next two months?"
Zhang Chusheng scratched his head in confusion, and muttered something vaguely.
"But...does it take two months to learn the Nine Chapters?"
"If it's just a simple introduction, wouldn't it be possible to finish it in a few days?"
