Simulator: Starting as a Green Snake and Transforming into a Dragon

The next day, he woke up very early again. Sunlight shone softly through the gauze window, warming him gently. This kind of gentle warmth was exactly what these cold-blooded animals loved most.

He stretched a few times on the bed, feeling satisfied that he was ready to get up. He still had a lot to do today. No, he should first check his own panel and admire his spirit beast's panel.

[Subordinates: White Jade Koi Bai Li (Mid-grade demon beast, Qi Refining Level 4); Half-demon Fox Bai Ming (Mortal beast, Qi Refining Level 4); Five-colored Clam Pei Yu (Low-grade demon beast, Qi Refining Level 6); Crucian Carp Song Chuan (Mortal beast, Qi Refining Level 4)]

The more he looked, the brighter his eyes became. Besides his own changes, two of his subordinates had actually broken through to the next level: Pei Yu had reached the sixth level of Qi Refining, and Bai Li had reached the fourth level. Excellent! His power was steadily growing, which was wonderful. He was extremely happy.

After reviewing his panel, he lay down again. He needed to think about how to deal with the clouded leopard. There were indeed two possible solutions before him.

The first option is to do what male-oriented novels do: ambush him and kill him. While this is satisfying and provides thorough revenge, it also has significant drawbacks. Firstly, as the offspring of a Foundation Establishment stage expert, the other party might possess some life-saving abilities, making it possible that the protagonist might be unable to defeat him.

Furthermore, Yunbao is still a member of the demon race. If he kills someone without evidence and gets exposed, it won't be good for him either. It will be difficult for him to prove that he killed a traitor. So, this is also a great risk.

The second method is the way female-oriented writers handle things: playing dirty tricks. For example, they might lure Yunbao out, constantly insulting the Beast Taming Sect and his mother while secretly using a recording stone. When the time is right, they might blow him up, telling him that they know he is a demon beast from the Beast Taming Sect. They would tell him that if he reveals any weakness, they can use the recording stone to go to the demon generals, and he would surely die.

However, this approach also has its drawbacks. First, the other party might not actually reveal any weaknesses, given that they have been lurking among the demons for so long; it's only natural they would be more composed. Second, it's not as satisfying. Revenge is most satisfying when you personally kill your enemy. While this approach is safer, it's simply not as satisfying.

He thought about it and realized that both methods had their drawbacks. He tossed and turned in bed, then suddenly sat up. "That's right," he thought, "why can't we combine them? We can combine the advantages of both methods, preserving both safety and the thrill of revenge."

With that thought in mind, he set off immediately. The first step in his revenge was to obtain an opportunity to go out alone with the Cloud Leopard Demon General. This opportunity would have to be realized through the Black Tortoise Demon General, since the only person of high rank and power he knew was the Black Tortoise Demon General.

He immediately went out to see the Xuan Turtle Demon General. Although the other party was very busy, Gu Yuchuan had successfully advanced to a spirit beast, so the other party was very respectful and still met with him. He went straight to the point.

"My Lord Demon General, I have come here to ask you for a favor. I have received some information that the Cloud Leopard King under the White Crane Demon General is a member of the Beast Taming Sect. So I would like to ask you to do me a favor and issue a mission for the two of us to go out and investigate. I want to confirm whether he is really a traitor."

The Xuan Turtle Demon General's eyes dimmed slightly. He thought for a moment before speaking, his tone deep: "Little Gu, you know about the Beast Taming Sect's beast taming. We've investigated many times and found quite a few demonic beasts. I can guarantee that none of us have signed a contract with the Beast Taming Sect. This was personally investigated by a Nascent Soul stage demon emperor, so there's absolutely no problem."

He was already cursing in his heart. That damned Cloud Leopard had already plotted to kill him twice in the simulation. Only he knew whether he was a traitor.

He also adjusted his emotions. He knew that the Xuan Turtle Demon General meant well. After all, if the Cloud Leopard wasn't one, his actions would offend both the Cloud Leopard and the White Crane Demon General. Although he was a spirit beast, his cultivation was only at the Qi Refining stage. Offending a Foundation Establishment Demon General would definitely be detrimental to his actions.

"Lord Demon General, what if the other party didn't sign a contract? What if he grew up in the Beast Taming Sect? You can send someone to investigate. This Cloud Leopard Demon General first appeared after he came of age. There was absolutely no trace of him during his childhood. This is definitely unreasonable. For a demon beast to survive, it either needs to have relatives or it needs to hunt on its own as a child. This aspect of the Cloud Leopard is very suspicious."

It must be said that Gu Yuchuan was able to grasp the suspicious points, and even the Xuan Turtle Demon General was somewhat tempted at this moment.

"Alright, wait here for a moment. I'll have someone investigate this matter. If it's as you say, then this task will be entrusted to you, and I'll also give you a defensive talisman as a life-saving item. But if what you say is wrong, then this matter ends here. In the future, don't doubt your colleagues so easily, understand?"

Gu Yuchuan nodded. He was confident, after all, the information came from the cloud leopard himself, who said that he grew up in the Beast Taming Sect and that his home was the Beast Taming Sect.

Soon, the demon beast that went to investigate returned and nodded to the Xuan Turtle Demon General. The Xuan Turtle Demon General's expression turned grim. He was thinking even more deeply. Since the Cloud Leopard might be a member of the Human Beast Taming Sect, then the demon race now had more than one traitor, which would definitely be a major disadvantage in the war.

However, he first gave Gu Yuchuan a golden talisman: "You recognize this thing. Go back first. Your request will be fulfilled in the next two days. I need to go and report this to the Demon King."

Gu Yuchuan immediately bowed and withdrew. Indeed, it was a good thing that his actions could help the demon race search for the traitor again.
