Invincible Snake Emperor

Chapter 687: Chapter 634: Spoiling a Good Thing, an Unscrupulous Old Man

Relatively speaking, the Dean and Vice Dean of the Ancient Academy were quite reliable. Tu Xiao’an actually liked dealing with them.

Most importantly, both deans had incredibly beautiful granddaughters, and by an even greater coincidence, both girls possessed special constitutions.

But Tu Xiao’an still preferred Su Rushi. That Evil Qiqi was too difficult to handle—not wife material.

After leaving the Ancient Academy, Tu Xiao’an zipped straight over to the Su Family Villa.

It was already four or five in the morning. Most people had already woken up and gone back to sleep for a bit, but Tu Xiao’an had been busy all day long.

They say snakes are lazy and love to sleep, but clearly, Tu Xiao’an the snake was fated for a life of hard work.

Downstairs, Tu Xiao’an looked up and saw a window left open. He smiled faintly. ’Could that girl have left it open for me, worried I wouldn’t be able to get in?’

His mind raced with wild thoughts as he floated up into the air, hovering in front of the pitch-black window.

But the darkness had no effect on his vision whatsoever.

Su Rushi was lying in bed under a thick blanket, her delicate body curled up slightly as she dreamed peacefully.

A wicked smile played on Tu Xiao’an’s lips as he slipped in through the window.

’She’s asleep, so she won’t see me in my human form. That shouldn’t count as breaking our agreement, right?’ Tu Xiao’an grinned, pleased with his little loophole, and walked to the side of Su Rushi’s bed.

Gazing at her incomparably beautiful and serene face, Tu Xiao’an gently patted the bed and then plopped himself down on it.

After sitting for only a moment, Tu Xiao’an grew restless. He sneakily lay down beside Su Rushi, pulled at the thick blanket, and wriggled his body under the covers bit by bit.

Once he had done all this, a triumphant and happy smile spread across Tu Xiao’an’s face.

It wasn’t his first time sleeping with Su Rushi, but it had always been in his small snake form. Never like this.

’This is so nice,’ Tu Xiao’an thought with a gentle smile. Only like this did he truly feel like a man.

Under the covers, however, there was no warmth at all, as if a cold corpse were sleeping inside.

Although Tu Xiao’an had absorbed her Cold Yin Qi again, and she no longer got covered in frost while she slept, that was the extent of it. Her whole body was still freezing cold.

”Hey, girlie, how about we cuddle while we sleep?” Tu Xiao’an whispered, his handsome face softening.

Su Rushi seemed to frown slightly, as if having a dream.

’If you don’t say anything, I’ll take that as a yes.’

Back in the White Demon King’s Purple Bamboo Forest, Su Rushi used to sleep while holding him in his small snake form.

He had found it humiliating to be held like that. He was a proud man, after all.

But now, it was finally his turn to hold her.

Tu Xiao’an had been looking forward to this moment for a long time.

Just then, Tu Xiao’an’s arm slowly reached out, sliding under Su Rushi’s neck, preparing to gently pull her into his embrace.

He had to be gentle, so as not to startle her awake. If she opened her eyes, he would be done for.

It wasn’t that he was afraid Su Rushi would scream ”pervert” or anything, but because of the system’s oath: if she saw him in his human form, he would lose three Ranks.

The penalty was too great.

”Damned snake, what do you think you’re doing? You think I’m dead?!”

Just as Tu Xiao’an was about to have the beauty in his arms, a telepathic voice suddenly rang out in his mind.

Tu Xiao’an froze. He stiffly turned his head toward the window and saw the Vice Dean, that old geezer, hovering outside. The old man’s face was a mask of fury, contorted with rage as he glared at him like a terrifying midnight ghost.

”...”

’This old man is too much,’ he thought. ’He really is guarding against me like I’m some kind of thief.’

Even though he had snuck in silently in the middle of the night, the old man had still somehow noticed.

’Looks like he’s constantly monitoring Su Rushi’s room.’

Maintaining his shocked expression, Tu Xiao’an gave an awkward smile. ”Tsk, tsk... Old man, don’t misunderstand. I was just helping your granddaughter absorb the Cold Yin Qi in her body.”

Even though the Vice Dean was communicating telepathically, his voice was filled with boundless fury as he roared, ”Do you take me for a blind man, you damned snake?! Get out here! I’m going to fight you for three hundred rounds, to the death! How dare you defile my granddaughter’s innocence!”

’Innocence my ass,’ Tu Xiao’an grumbled internally. ’I’ve already seen everything there is to see. What innocence is left?’

”Don’t be angry, old man. I’m returning to the Yaoling Mountain Range tomorrow. I was about to leave, so I tirelessly came to help your granddaughter absorb her Cold Yin Qi one last time. Don’t you dare frame a good person and get the wrong idea. I am not that kind of person.”

”Get out!”

If the Vice Dean hadn’t been worried about waking his granddaughter, he would have torn the entire villa down right then and there.

”What did you promise me? You said you wouldn’t use your Transformation in front of my granddaughter! You’re the dignified King of the Snake Clan! Are your words just hot air?!”

”Old man, you can’t be so inflexible. As long as I don’t let your granddaughter see me, it’s fine, isn’t it? Look, she’s sleeping soundly, just like a baby.”

The Vice Dean was burning with rage and radiating killing intent, wearing the petulant expression of someone who was plugging their ears and shouting, ”I’m not listening!”

All he wanted was to kill a snake.

Tu Xiao’an was speechless. He really had to hand it to this old man. It seemed his wonderful dream of sleeping while holding Su Rushi was ruined.

With this old geezer around, he couldn’t hope to do anything.

’Fine, I’ll change back into a snake now, alright?’

The Vice Dean’s only reply was: ”Get out.”

”Old man, haven’t you ever heard the saying? ’Better to tear down ten temples than to ruin one marriage.’ If you keep trying to break us up, you’ll face Celestial Punishment, hmph...” Tu Xiao’an absolutely did not want to crawl out from under these covers.

”You’re driving me mad!” The Vice Dean was livid, about to climb through the window like a ghost.

Seeing the old man was getting serious, Tu Xiao’an quickly said, ”Alright, alright, I’m leaving.”

Before leaving the warmth of the bed, Tu Xiao’an gently caressed Su Rushi’s serene, beautiful face and said regretfully, ”Girlie, your grandpa is the worst. Such an old fossil. Tomorrow, I’m taking you away to elope with me.”

”GET OUT!” a thunderous roar echoed in Tu Xiao’an’s mind.

”Hmph, fine! I’m going!”

Tu Xiao’an quietly slipped out of Su Rushi’s bed. Ignoring the old geezer outside the window, he opened the bedroom door and left.

He wasn’t stupid. If he left the villa now, the old man would definitely try to kill him.

It wasn’t that Tu Xiao’an was afraid of the old man, but that he couldn’t fight him.

Who told you to go and fall for his granddaughter?

Still reeling from the scare, Tu Xiao’an opened the door to another room. Inside, another peerlessly beautiful girl was lying in bed.

This time, Tu Xiao’an didn’t hesitate. He jumped right onto the bed and lay down beside the stunningly beautiful girl.

In an instant, a pair of brightly shining eyes snapped open, illuminating the entire room as if a light had been switched on.

”Hehe, my Azure Owl Treasure, don’t be scared. It’s just your master.”

Azure Owl was about to fly into a rage, but seeing it was Tu Xiao’an, she sat up abruptly, clutching the blanket to her chest to cover herself. ”You fiend! What are you trying to do?” she asked warily.

”Treasure, your master was bullied by that old man. Come give me a hug.”

”Hug my foot! Careful, or I’ll scream ’pervert’!”

”Pervert?” Tu Xiao’an rapped her on the forehead. ”Everything about you, from top to bottom, belongs to me, your master. Just because you went through Transformation, you’re going to act all distant with me now?”

Azure Owl said haughtily, ”I’m a girl now. Men and women shouldn’t have direct contact. Shoo, go ’way.”

”So you’re rebelling, are you?” Tu Xiao’an yanked the blanket away. His eyes nearly popped out of his head. He saw Qingque wearing a very cute pajama top, the front of which was wide open, revealing a magnificent view.

As an Immortal Spirit Peacock who had undergone Transformation, her looks were naturally beyond question, and her body was explosively good. She had a perfect hourglass figure, and her magnificent twin peaks were as bountiful as a beautiful girl’s from an anime.

”Treasure, did you get breast implants behind my back?” Tu Xiao’an asked in a daze.

Azure Owl rolled her eyes. ’Breast implants? As if she’d need them.’

”You lecherous master, how long are you going to stare?”

After all, Azure Owl had transformed from an animal, so she wasn’t that conservative. To her, being looked at for a few moments wasn’t a death sentence.

’Who could she blame but her master? She couldn’t defy him anyway.’

’As long as he doesn’t try anything for real, it’s fine.’

Tu Xiao’an continued to gaze at Azure Owl’s beautiful figure with an appreciative, artistic eye, enjoying the sight to his heart’s content.

’Who needs Human-Demon Love? This Immortal Spirit Peacock I raised myself is so much more High Rank.’

’The key is, there’s no old geezer of a grandfather guarding her like I’m a thief.’

”Come on, Azure Owl Treasure, let’s sleep. Don’t worry, your master is a very honest guy.”

”Heh heh!” Azure Owl gave him a smile that didn’t reach her eyes, her face a perfect picture of ’I’d sooner believe in ghosts than trust you.’

The Immortal Spirit Peacock had spent the last few days in the Su Family Villa watching TV shows and had summarized her findings into one sentence: you can sooner believe there are ghosts in the world than trust the foul mouths of men.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK...!

The sound of knocking came from the door.

”Get out!” The old geezer’s voice sounded again.

Tu Xiao’an was completely dumbfounded. ”Damned old man, you’ve gone too far! I’m sleeping in my own Battle Companion’s room, and you’re still meddling?”

”Get out! If you want to sleep, come sleep in my room!”

’What the hell would I have to sleep with an old geezer like you for?’

”Are you coming out or not? If you don’t, you can forget about ever seeing my Shi’er again in this lifetime!”

’Hmph. Threatening me? That’s hilarious.’

「Ten minutes later...!」

An old man and a young man were sitting at a table in a spacious living room.

”Old man, I helped your Wencheng for three days and three nights, and you won’t even let me sleep? Aren’t you being unreasonable?”

This was bullying a snake too far.

Tu Xiao’an was indignant. If it weren’t for his respect for the elderly, he really would have taught this old geezer a lesson.

”I’m not stopping you from sleeping. The door to my room is wide open.”

”...”

’You might as well just kill me, then.’

Sleeping with his Azure Owl Treasure would have been perfectly fine, but this old man had to come and ruin that, too. How immoral.

They glared at each other for a while before the Vice Dean suddenly spoke with a serious expression, ”At daybreak, take those Demons back to the Yaoling Mountain Range. There’s something I want to discuss with you.”

’Heh heh... Need a favor from the Snake King again, do we?’

”Let’s hear it,” Tu Xiao’an said with a slight, arrogant smirk.

”I’ve heard that your Snake Clan’s Snake Palace is an ancient Demon King’s Castle, as impregnable as a fortress of gold. I would like to have Shi’er stay in your Snake Palace for a period of time.”

Huh? Hearing this, Tu Xiao’an sucked in a sharp breath and stared strangely at the old man. He had just been thinking about eloping with Su Rushi, and now the old man was offering his granddaughter up on a silver platter?

’What’s the meaning of this? Did he take the wrong medicine or something?’

’Just a moment ago, he was telling me to get the hell out of Su Rushi’s room, and now he wants me to take his granddaughter to the Snake Palace.’

’Once she’s at the Snake Palace, won’t I be the one calling all the shots?’

’What kind of trick is this old man playing?’
