The World of Beasts: Snake, I am the mother of all dragons

"Hey, look carefully, this is an engraving, you are not thinking about anything messy, right?" Bai Luoluo laughed.

Ling Yunxiao came back to his senses and took a closer look. Sure enough, he saw the clear mark on the ankle.

She was so surprised that her eyes widened, her face turned red involuntarily, and she felt embarrassed and annoyed.

"Did you do this on purpose?" Ling Yunxiao glared at Bai Luoluo resentfully.

Bai Luoluo looked at Ling Yunxiao's embarrassed and shy expression, and the smug smile on her face disappeared in an instant. "Don't talk nonsense, it's someone's own fault."

"..." Ling Yunxiao snorted coldly, turned his head away, and no longer looked at Bai Luoluo's smug look.

This eccentric female is so evil!

It is rare for such a person to receive the blessing of the Beast God.

Beast City, on the witch altar.

Ling Xi stood quietly there, his eyes slightly closed. The mysterious star tracks were looming around him. Sensing Ling Yunxiao's uncertain fate, Ling Xi slowly opened his worried eyes.

"Yunxiao, this is your tribulation and test on the path of witchcraft. If you succeed, you will be able to inherit my mantle in the future. If not, peace and happiness will be enough."

Ling Xi truly treated Ling Yunxiao as her own son. Over the years, she watched Ling Yunxiao grow up little by little, overcome himself, and continue to explore the path of witch cultivation. She had long regarded him as her own child and placed high hopes on him.

"Perhaps, my expectation that Yunxiao will become a witch priest and my hope that he can achieve higher achievements on the path of witchcraft are just a prejudice in my heart." Ling Xi comforted.

After all, compared with the illusory glory that is full of difficulties and obstacles, being able to live in peace and health is the most real and reassuring thing.

Lingxi looked into the distance, his eyes revealing a hint of helplessness and relief. He prayed silently, "Go home in peace, child."

Just as Ling Xi was immersed in worry and emotion about Ling Yunxiao, Lie Xingyun's figure appeared beside the witch altar.

He first bowed respectfully to Lingxi, then said softly, "Lord Lingxi, Xingyun has come to pay his respects to you."

Ling Xi raised her eyes and glanced at him, already knowing clearly the real purpose of his visit.

He then shook his head slightly, with a hint of helplessness and seriousness in his tone.

"Xingyun, stop fighting for your father's mercy. His treacherous actions ten years ago already doomed him to this fate."

He broke his oath before the Beast God and committed many unforgivable evil deeds. How could the Beast God forgive him?

Now, it is time for Lie Xiaotian to reap what he has sown, and no one can change this fate.

"Master Wuji, I understand the truth, but he is my father."

Lie Xingyun smiled bitterly after hearing this. He was actually quite clear about this. He had studied divination, and through the mysterious hexagrams, he could clearly understand the cycle of cause and effect.

But even so, he was his biological father after all. If it weren't for Lie Xiaotian, perhaps he would have no chance to stand here, no chance to come into contact with the world of witches, let alone learn those advanced witchcraft.

"Xingyun, do you know the biggest difference between you and Yunxiao?"

"I... naturally cannot compare to Senior Brother Yunxiao in any way."

Ling Xi looked at Lie Xingyun's tangled and complicated expression, and knew his character in her heart.

For a young man who is inexperienced in the world and caught between family affection and justice, it is normal for him to have an unwavering determination.

However, in the world of witches, this is an incompetent behavior.

As a witch, one needs to have unwavering faith, be able to distinguish right from wrong, good from evil, and not be easily swayed by worldly emotions.

"Well, go back, Xingyun. I have taught you everything I can. The rest is up to you to figure out on your own."

Ling Xi sighed inwardly. He knew very well what Lie Xiaotian was planning. He was just treating Lie Xingyun as a chess piece, using him to achieve his own ulterior motives.

Even though he felt sorry for Lie Xingyun, he couldn't pay too much attention to him, because if he did that, Lie Xiaotian would definitely become more aggressive and try to manipulate the other party's fate. At that time, his little disciple would only fall into a deeper vortex.

In this case, it’s better to let nature take its course.

As long as he has an epiphany, thoroughly understands the pros and cons, and strengthens his heart, he will officially step into the ranks of witches.

Thinking of this, Ling Xi looked at Lie Xingyun again, with a hint of expectation in her eyes, but also a bit of helplessness.

Then he said no more, but just stood quietly on the witch altar, continuing to immerse himself in the mysterious and solemn atmosphere.

Lie Xingyun was terrified but dared not say much, so he could only bow and leave with tears in his eyes.

"Xingyun thanks Master Wuji for his many years of instruction."

At the same time, in the City Lord’s Mansion, in the study.

Lie Xiaotian looked up and saw Lie Xingyun who was sent back home. He was already a little irritable due to many troubles, and now he became even more impatient. He frowned, stared at Lie Xingyun, and asked in a bad tone.

"Is that all you said, Master Wuji? You didn't hide anything?"

When Lie Xingyun heard his father's question, his heart skipped a beat and a trace of panic flashed across his face. He opened his mouth and stammered as he recounted what had happened. His eyes dodged confidently, not daring to look Lie Xiaotian in the eye.

When Lie Xiaotian saw his appearance, he immediately became furious, and the feeling of being disappointed in him suddenly surged up in his heart.

"waste!"

He stood up suddenly, rushed to Lie Xingyun in one step, and without saying a word, used his elbow to push Lie Xingyun against the wall. The force was so great that Lie Xingyun grimaced in pain.

"Don't think you're betraying me. I asked you to keep an eye on Lingxi. Have you found out the whereabouts of the forbidden technique I was trying to find out?"

His life span is about to end. If he cannot obtain the forbidden technique, his position will be lost and the entire Lie family foundation will be like a mirage, vanishing into thin air.

"Father...Father, I don't have any. The witch priest has never taught me anything about forbidden techniques."

Lie Xiaotian's face was ferocious. He approached Lie Xingyun and said in a low voice, mockingly, "That's a skill that even a bastard like Ling Yunxiao can master. You're the one I carefully selected, so are you really that incompetent?"

Lie Xingyun was pushed against the wall, his back hurting, his face full of pain. Hearing his father's words, he hurriedly said, "Father, I... I have been trying hard, but it's a forbidden technique, and Master Wu Ji will never teach me. I... I really..."

"Hmph, don't give me excuses!"

Lie Xiaotian snorted coldly and interrupted him, "I don't care what method you use, find the forbidden technique for me as soon as possible, otherwise, I will not let you off easily!"

After saying that, he let go of his hand and took a few steps back, still staring at Lie Xingyun with cold eyes. There seemed to be a knife in his eyes, which made Lie Xingyun shiver uncontrollably.
