Chapter 668: Pagoda Suppresses the Snake Demon

Who Made Him Practice Cultivation! Volume 6, Chapter 668: Pagoda Trapping the Snake Demon

Meng Jingzhou felt that ever since he came out to sell his blood, he hadn't encountered a single good thing.

First there was Shi Chan testing his Zen mind in a brothel, and now there was Xu An causing a grand chaotic battle in his harem.

The key point was that both of these guys were using his blood!

He knew he smelled a bloody scent in the Ganoderma soup that Liu Xiangyu had brought over—as it turned out, it was his own!

What to do when the harem catches fire? Eliminate the culprit and there will be no problems at all.

Or he could spare Xu An's life and just unleash a Single Man's Curse combo on him.

In the courtyard, the snake demon, the ghost cultivator, the fox demon, and the artifact spirit were tangled in a chaotic brawl. Fortunately, a formation temporarily sealed off the situation here; otherwise, patrolling constables would have already rushed over to investigate.

Liu Xiangyu shook herself and transformed into a white snake dozens of chang long, her body thicker than a water vat. Hissing as she flicked her forked tongue, her cold pupils fixed upon the three maidservants.

"My husband and I felt like old friends at first sight, pledging our lives to each other during the spring rain of the Qingming Festival. Who are you monsters and demons to barge in!"

The snake's body thrashed, making the earth tremble and the mountains shake as cracks appeared on the ground. She opened her bloody maw, intending to swallow the three maidservants whole.

Xiao Cui spread her arms, and countless indistinct, shadowy black ghosts merged into the dark night, their figures obscured. Her Nascent Soul even emerged from her body to block the white snake's gaping jaws.

"What does feeling like old friends at first sight amount to? Love without undergoing a trial of life and death is empty talk!"

"That day my identity was leaked and I was hunted by the government. Fortunately, I crossed paths with my benefactor, allowing me to hide my figure with the help of the noble spirit he generated. Only then did I survive!"

"If not for my special identity, and the fear that revealing the truth to my benefactor would affect his imperial examinations, I would have wedded him long ago. How could it ever be your turn to be the main wife!"

Xiao Zhu revealed her true demon form. The snow-white fox looked like an elf in the snow, agile and nimble.

"Let snow fall!"

Heavy snow suddenly began to flutter and drift across the courtyard. The temperature plummeted drastically as she exhaled freezing air, turning dripping water into ice instantly.

"I am a snow fox turned spirit. More than a century ago, the ancestor of my benefactor rescued me from a hunter's trap. Later, I wandered into a forbidden land by mistake, swallowed an unknown fruit, awakened an ancient lineage, and used the power inherited within my bloodline to cultivate a human form."

"I originally intended to repay the ancestor of my benefactor after taking human form, but when I arrived, the ancestor had long since turned into a handful of yellow earth. Since that is the case, I shall repay my debt of gratitude to the benefactor!"

"If I hadn't worried that the benefactor wouldn't be able to accept my identity, I would have confessed my feelings to him long ago!"

Liu Xiangyu sneered. "The two of you sneaking around to eat at night has left my husband completely drained of energy, yet you still sound so righteous. I was the one who inquired about the Ganoderma, and the Pure Yang blood was bought by me. What did the three of you do!"

"If you three hadn't appeared at the same time tonight, I wouldn't even know that none of you are human, let alone that you drove my husband to invite three Golden Core stage cultivators from outside!"

The white snake whipped up a wild gale. The freezing wind bit to the bone, howling as it arrived, sending shivers down everyone's spines.

Xiao Qiu opened a barrier, temporarily blocking Liu Xiangyu's attack.

Her true form was a jade pendant, a defensive magical treasure.

"Mistress, please calm your anger. The master awakened me, but I did not know how to face him, which is why I delayed revealing my identity. It was not an intentional deception."

Seeing that a second round of battle was on the verge of breaking out, a Buddhist chant startled all four of them into halting at once.

"Amitabha. Could the four female benefactors temporarily stay your hands for the sake of this poor monk?"

Shi Chan took the initiative to step into the courtyard. His two great dharma protectors stood ready, one holding a sword and the other clenching a fist.

"The three of you are awake... No, you were never unconscious at all?!"

The expressions of Liu Xiangyu and the other three shifted slightly as panic set in. None of them had actually realized that these three men invited by their benefactor had remained conscious.

"This... this shouldn't be. The stupefying incense I released should make even an unprepared early Nascent Soul cultivator sleep for three hours!" Xiao Cui had the strongest reaction; she knew exactly how potent her incense was.

It was absolutely not something the Golden Core stage could resist.

More importantly, these three men now knew their true identities!

If her husband found out about this, what would they do?

"You've actually been feigning sleep this whole time!"

The cheeks of the four women flushed with deep embarrassment. If that was the case, then everything that transpired between them and Xu An on the bed tonight had been clearly witnessed by these three?

Driven by humiliation and rage, the four women attacked simultaneously.

The white snake thrashed, a hundred ghosts paraded through the night, the snow fox brought down snow, and the jade pendant manifested its spiritual power.

"This poor monk has no intention of provoking a dispute."

Facing the joint assault of the four women, Shi Chan remained unhurried. He produced a nine-layered pagoda and tossed it into the air. The pagoda radiated a pale golden light that enveloped the four women, rendering them completely unable to move.

"What... what kind of magical treasure is this?"

The four women were greatly shocked, having never seen such a miraculous magical treasure.

Xiao Qiu, the jade pendant, felt the suppression of a superior magical treasure even more acutely.

"Four female benefactors, you are no match for the three of us."

Shi Chan sighed, lifting the suppression on the four women. A golden dharma body manifested behind his back, holding a vajra pestle in its left hand and a dharma wheel in its right—it was the most orthodox Sixteen-Foot Golden Body.

The Green Crest Sword in Lu Yang's hand gleamed with a cold light. Merely glancing at it made one's eyes feel as if they were being pricked by thousands of needles; the sword qi was like a sharp awning, daring no one to look directly at it.

Meng Jingzhou manifested three heads and six arms. His six powerfully built arms stood poised and ready, capable of shattering the sky with one punch and splitting the earth with another. His three faces looked fierce, his eyes glaring in fury, revealing the manifestation of Great Wrath.

"Nascent Soul... No, the Soul Transformation stage?!"

The faces of Liu Xiangyu and the three maidservants turned pale in an instant. Although these three men appeared to have a cultivation level similar to theirs, the aura they displayed right now was unmistakably the might possessed only by the Soul Transformation stage!

Even without the nine-layered pagoda, any single one of the three could easily subdue them!

Weren't there only two Soul Transformation stage experts in Chunjing City, both of whom belonged to the government? Where on earth did her husband invite three Soul Transformation stage experts from?

Seeing that the four women had settled down, Shi Chan withdrew his Sixteen-Foot Golden Body, and Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou followed suit, withdrawing theirs as well.

"This poor monk was entrusted by Benefactor Xu to come and resolve his problem of insufficient Yang energy. I ask that the four female benefactors do not make things difficult for this poor monk."

The four women naturally agreed, becoming exceedingly obedient.

Liu Xiangyu reverted to her human form and invited the three masters into the grand hall to converse.

"Before discussing the matter, this poor monk shall make an introduction. This poor monk's dharma name is Shi Chan, a disciple of the Hanging Temple."

The expressions of the four women shifted once again, all of them growing tense. To think he was an eminent monk from the Hanging Temple.

Disciples of the Hanging Temple were extremely few, and rumors about them were rarely heard. To the outside world, the Hanging Temple was shrouded in mystery, and the four women could not fathom Shi Chan's stance.

Xiao Cui was the most panicked. She was a helmsman of the Nine Nether Sect; if her identity were exposed, she probably wouldn't even be able to flee.

"Benefactor Liu, if this poor monk sees correctly, you belong to the White Snake Clan of the Demon Realm?"

"The master has keen insight."

"Benefactor Liu, take a word of advice from this poor monk. Your relationship with Benefactor Xu is truly improper."

Liu Xiangyu's face turned deathly pale, a terrible premonition washing over her. "Is the master saying that humans and demons walk different paths, and that my husband and I ultimately cannot be together?"

Shi Chan shook his head. "Not at all. What this poor monk means is that when registering a marriage, one's race must be verified. Benefactor Xu has remained ignorant of your identity, which means the two of you possess only the reality of husband and wife, but not the legal status of husband and wife."

"This poor monk suggests that the two of you head to the government office to register."
