“D-Dead?” Li Xianyu was stunned as he was rooted to the spot.

Liu Yao quickly stepped forward, sniffs and pressed its artery. Her face turned white and her fingers were stiff. “OK, it seems that he is really dead. It doesn’t make sense. Why is he not in his original form?”

“Old Brother, I believe you didn’t kidnap my elder sister. You don’t need to prove that you are innocent by death.” Li Xianyu’s brain was full of thoughts. He would not feel at ease without verbalising it.

Liu Tong, when presented with danger, gave off a feeling of “I’m a big boss,” but he had just died at home.

You are the head of the family after all. How could you die so easily?

“I don’t know what this is about, but my intuition tells me that we should retreat strategically at this time,” Li Xianyu whispered.

There was no need to ask Yuanfang about this. Li “Di Renjie” Xianyu knew that there was something wrong.

Liu Tong died at home inexplicably. That meant that he did not kidnap his sister. Continuing the train of thought, the people who killed Liu Tong and kidnapped her should be the same people.

So the question was, why?

Li Xianyu thought of his brazen words in the conference room, the recent disturbance of the Demons’ Alliance, the bear spirit running out of the Greater Khingan Range, and the secret task given to him by Lightning King.

It’s fucking obvious that I was brought here on purpose. Fuck. I hate people and demons who play tricks like that. How scheming.

Liu Yao suddenly thought of something. Regardless of Li Xianyu’s pulling, she reached towards Liu Tong’s back and groped around. She suddenly look panicked and exclaimed, “Something has been nailed in his heart.”

She picked up Liu Tong’s body and made him lie on the table, pointing to a few centimeters below the back of his neck. “His heart is here.”

Li Xianyu looked intently. There was a dark gold copper nail in that part. It was embedded in the flesh. Liu Tong’s back was stained black and red with fresh blood.

He put some blood on his fingertips and remarked, “Blood has began to oxidize and blacken. He has been dead for a while, but not for a long time.”

The specific time of death needed to be judged by professionals.

“Pull out this nail as evidence.” Li Xianyu held the nail with his fingers and yanked it out.

“Don’t pull it out…” Liu Yao’s face changed she hurriedly attempted to stop it. However, it was too late. Liu Tong’s body, after pulling out the copper nail, immediately reverted into its original form. It was a huge snake more than 50 meters long.

The spacious study was filled with the snake corpse, the curtains split open with a sound, and then collapsed; the glass pieces fell, making crisp sounds in the dark.

Li Xianyu and Liu Yao were squeezed against the wall by the inflated corpse. Both of them were quite powerful, so they were okay. They just looked in a pathetic state.

“If you pull out the nail, he will turn back into his original form. Moreover, this movement must have alarmed the Liu family.” Liu Yao said helplessly, “It’s okay, we can’t hide it anyway. If we sneaked away, we will take the blame for Liu Tong’s assassination.”

“I thought about it, but in the current situation, it’s still hard for us to get rid of the suspicion.” Li Xianyu was perplexed. If he sneaked away, he would be recognised as the Liu family leader’s killer. If he didn’t, he would face the wrath of the Liu family.

If a pair of pants was stained by yellow mud, it would still be recognized as a shit stain. It was a trap, but he had to jump into it. He was too concerned about the safety of Ice Shards.

“Have you offended anyone? It’s obvious that you have been set up,” Liu Yao said.

“That’s not false, but you think this guy is just targeting me?” Li Xianyu looked at her.

Without waiting for Liu Yao to speak, the door of the study was opened. Her uncle stood at the door and looked at the scene in the study in horror. The expression was even more wonderful than that of a husband being caught for adultery.

Frightened, sad, flustered… After many different expressions, at last, he raised his head and roared.

His body swelled and stretched from the waist, tearing up his clothes. Scales replaced his wrinkled skin, as he transformed into a black snake over ten meters long in an instant. The scales were dark and dim, and its skin was loose.

The black snake raised its head high and broke the ceiling. It slithered out and crawled on the roof. It raised its triangular head and growled hoarsely towards the lone moon.

Li Xianyu was surprised that it didn’t attack himself. He looked at Liu Yao, as the colour drained from her face. “No, it’s shouting for help.”

“What did it say?” asked Li Xianyu.

“It said…” Liu Yao thought about it, and then translated, “Something’s happened, the master of the family has been tortured to death, everybody fuck this guy up.”

“Tortured to death? Are you sure?” Li Xianyu was surprised.

“It means the same thing,” Liu Yao said. “This is to ease your state of panic.”

“You’re the nervous one.” When Li Xianyu saw this beautiful snake comrade, his legs trembled slightly. Probably, in the eyes of snakes, the killing of the Liu family leader was equivalent to the assassination of the human emperor, which was a heinous crime.

To make matters worse, countless forces were on their way here.

The hissing was getting closer and closer. Sounds of snakes hissing reverberated all around.

Li Xianyu climbed over the snake’s body and came to the floor window. Half of Liu Tong’s body broke the floor window and hung out of it. The study couldn’t hold his body at all.

“Fuck!” Li Xianyu exclaimed.

Under the moon pass, the ground was full of snakes. They climbed towards the villa at the top of the mountain. Among them, there are several snakes bigger than titan pythons. They meandered towards where they were. Wherever they passed, the trees broke, houses crumbled, leaving traces of meandering and twisting.

The villa was surrounded by a dense group of snakes. Six titanic pythons broke through the courtyard wall and came to the courtyard. They raised their heads like cobras, and easily leveled with Li Xianyu by the floor window on the fourth floor.

After seeing half of Liu Tong’s body hanging out, it was obvious that the owner of the house was already cold and dead. The titan pythons gave out a shrill roar as their mouths split, like a dark red black hole; their saliva was like rain.

“Heir of the Li family, you broke into my home, Jiuhu Mountain, and killed the Liu family leader. We will not let this go.” In the middle, a big python with brown scales and white belly roared. It had a thick middle-aged man’s voice.

It had turned into a snake. Its body structure was different. How did it speak human words?

Now was not the time to think about this. Li Xianyu stood by the broken window, facing six titan pythons and thousands of other vipers.

“Do you want a head-on confrontation?” Liu Yao came to him and whispered.

“Gentlemen, things are not what you think. There is a misunderstanding,” Li Xianyu said.

The snakes were obviously more enraged.

The brown scale python was furious. “Go to hell!” Its neck contracted fiercely. The next moment, it lunged forward, breaking the walls of the entire villa.

Li Xianyu took a deep breath and conjured up some old phlegm. No, it was actually qi in the form of a sword. He held the qi in his mouth, and released it as a sword!

The sharp sword light turned into a silver ray, and a series of sparks formed on the head of the brown scale python.

The python was safe, but it had been concussed by this blow.

As if it was a signal of war, the other vipers, serpents, pythons, and the five other titan pythons rallied together.

Liu Yao’s face turned white as her legs quivered uncontrollably.

Li Xianyu took off the same gloves without any expression on his face. He raised his left arm high as the dense blood vessels flashed bright and dark; the arm seemed to breathe.

Slime made a brilliant entrance. His aura intimidated the entire scene. At the first moment, the snakes were boiling with anger. At the next moment, they were suddenly in a panic. It was like they had seen a natural enemy.

The furious python also restrained his anger and looked at Li Xianyu’s left arm with fear. It had a little understanding with regards to his arm. After the meeting in the afternoon, the higher-ups in the Liu family had begun to research on the descendant of the Li family.

These guys were huddled in the northeast, an autonomous region dominated by the Demons’ Alliance. They had houses and fields at home. They occasionally broke the law and enjoyed life.

They had a privilege. In any case, as long as there was no rebellion, the official agency of Baoze would turn a blind eye to them. Therefore, the Demons’ Alliance had no interest in the Great Deities Palace. Of course, their attention would not be fixated on the descendant of the Li family. But now, he had flexed his muscles on their territory. Out of fear of the Unparalleled War Spirit, they checked up on Li Xianyu’s background.

Li Xianyu’s two battles took place not long ago. It was easy to understand more about him, since the battles caused great shockwaves within the demon descendants community.

If the past news were reliable, he used this arm to turn the tide and beat the God of War, as well as the Demonic Priest Inheritor, in the battle for the treasure of the Demonic Priest. It was said that this arm could also make women scream.

When Great-Grandma was not around, Slime was Li Xianyu’s biggest backup. This was a cheat code in all aspects. If they were to force him to his wits’ end, then everyone would perish together.

As soon as Gluttony was released, no one was its match.

“Can you talk now?” Li Xianyu calmly looked at the six pythons.

Liu Yao felt great pressure. Fortunately, she had the skill of a middle-level employee. She was also considered an exponent in the demon descendants community. The pressure of Slime made her heart palpitate, but it didn’t cause her to revert back to her original form.

She slowly approached Li Xianyu, like a shivering little white rabbit in the cold wind nearing the warm bonfire.

In this cold society, only Li Xianyu’s left arm could bring her a little warmth. With such a mood, she hugged Li Xianyu’s left arm.

All of a sudden, Liu Yao seemed to be drained of all her strength, collapsing limply by Li Xianyu’s feet. Li Xianyu was speechless.

Hello? How can I negotiate like this?

The air suddenly quietened down, and one of the beautiful pythons quietly shrank back, staring at Li Xianyu warily and coldly with its pupils.

Li Xianyu coughed. “I think it’s necessary to explain myself. Although I’m very dissatisfied with the actions of the Demons’ Alliance, I will not take the blame for this. An hour ago, I suddenly received a text message from my sister, which said that she had been kidnapped, and the kidnapper was your leader, Liu Tong. He asked me to arrive at Jiuhu Mountain in an hour, or he would kill her.”

He took his cell phone out of his pocket. “I have an SMS as evidence!”

The beautiful python immediately turned into a gorgeous and tall beauty with a graceful figure and a top-grade waist.

Liu Mei, a snake spirit aged 30 years old, was a rare snake with brains. Her strength was comparable to that of Baoze’s senior staff.

She, along with Hu Xinyue of the Hu family, were recognised as the two female Zhuge Liangs of the Demons’ Alliance.

Her IQ would not be worse than the snake with the doctorate, who was lying at his feet.

Seeing her charming face which revealed happiness and hatred, Li Xianyu came up with relevant information about her in his mind.

Liu Mei stood on the head of the brown python, stared at Li Xianyu and stretched out her arm, extending it towards him.

Li Xianyu understood from inside his heart. He took out a cell phone from Liu Yao’s pocket, took a picture of the message, then threw the phone over to Liu Mei.

Seeing his move, the corners of Liu Mei’s mouth twitched. He could not tell whether she despised or appreciated it.

After reading the message, she frowned and pondered for a few seconds. Then, she dialed the mobile number marked “Ice Shards” and turned on the handsfree.

First, the other party’s ringtone sounded. A few seconds later, the line was connected.

Ice Shards had a unique, cold voice. “Where have you been?”

Li Xianyu’s expression sank in a flash. He wished that his expression would sink like that of Long Aotian.

He said to himself, It’s impossible. It’s unscientific. Wasn’t she kidnapped? She could not be reached all this while.

On the way to Jiuhu Mountain, Li Xianyu never gave up dialing his elder sister’s phone. In response, the electronic female voice sounded, “Sorry, the number you dialed has been turned off…”

“Are you Li Xianyu’s sister?” Liu Mei’s voice was soft, with the unique characteristic of women. It was very pleasant to hear.

“Who are you?” Hearing that it was a woman, the voice of Ice Shards turned colder.

“You don’t need to know who I am,” said Liu Mei with a smile. “I heard that you were kidnapped just now?”

“Lunatic.” Ice Shards did not say a further word and hung up.

Liu Mei expressionlessly smashed the mobile phone and looked at Li Xianyu coldly. “Fourth Uncle, kill him.”

…

On the other side, in the room of the hotel, Ice Shards laid on the bed, occupying a large area. She threw away the mobile phone, looked up at the ceiling for a moment, before the corners of her mouth rose. She rolled happily, and entered the bathroom barefooted.

If Li Xianyu, who was familiar with her, were to see this scene, he would know that Ice Shards was enjoying herself.

She skillfully took off her clothes and showed off her perfect body. Everything was too beautiful to be flawed.

Li Xianyu believed that no matter how beautiful a woman was, she also had flaws. For example, Great-Grandma was 165cm tall, which was not too tall. Another example was Victoria’s slightly higher hairline, and Mo Fei’s not-very-slim waist.

All the beauties he had seen were more or less flawed. Perfect women were either artificial or 2-D.

The shower head spit out cold water as it sprinkled on her delicate body. The steam rose in the narrow bathroom. After a while, the rich steam covered the sight and blocked the view of her fancy body.

The whole bathroom turned into a sauna.
