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

After killing the three Yellow Springs Sect cultivators who blocked his way, he prepared to go home. However, he wrote a jade slip to report the matter to the Xuan Turtle Demon General. He was not without a backer. Although he did not have a demon king behind him, the Xuan Turtle Demon General was one of the four demon generals on the outer edge of Yunhai Marsh. He had a demon king behind him. Now that the Yellow Springs Sect had humiliated him, they naturally could not pretend that nothing had happened. However, this period of time had nothing to do with Gu Yuchuan.

He traveled all the way, and finally, when the bright moon and stars appeared in the sky, he arrived at Mingxi. The bright light from the sky shone on him, adding a touch of holiness to him. He descended above Mingxi like a god. He did not conceal his aura, and someone in the Flood Dragon Palace must have noticed it.

Currently, both Bai Ming and Bai Li in the Flood Dragon Palace are at the fifth level of Qi Refining, and they can sense this.

Sure enough, in less than half an incense stick's time, several subordinates rushed over. Those with legs knelt down, while those without pressed their heads against the water's surface, a sign of submission.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects and congratulate you on your return home."

Gu Yuchuan nodded, looking at his subordinates. Among them were Bai Ming and Bai Li, who had followed him the longest. There was also Song Chuan, who had only joined him since Mingxi, and even Yu Qiu and Yu Dong. Wait a minute, why is there an extra spirit fish? It looks thin and small, and it has just entered the first level of Qi Refining. It must be the one among the spirit fish that has gained intelligence. This is truly good news.

Bai Ming could tell what Gu Yuchuan was thinking just by looking at his gaze.

"Your Majesty, this younger sister is named Yu Linglong. She is from the same species as Yu Dong and the others. She only recently gained intelligence and became a demon cultivator."

Gu Yuchuan nodded, still pleased that someone was showing him respect: "Alright, it's evening now, so you should all go back and rest. Tomorrow morning, gather at my cave dwelling and report to me on Mingxi's recent affairs, your own cultivation level, and your progress. Those who do well will be rewarded, and those who do a lot will naturally be punished. Now go back."

After saying this, he went inside, leaving a few people behind. Those who were confident in themselves, like Bai Ming, had clearly defined responsibilities and managed a lot of things; she believed she was doing a good job. Tomorrow, all they would receive was a reward, so naturally they were very happy and even raised their heads, appearing extremely arrogant.

However, people's joys and sorrows are always different. Some people are happy, while others are not. For example, Yu Dong and Yu Qiu joined Mingxi much later. When they arrived, the power structure within Mingxi was already very clear. All they have been doing recently is cultivation. They haven't done anything else. They don't know if the king will be angry about this, but there's nothing they can do. They can only wait for tomorrow to arrive.

Gu Yuchuan didn't care about these things. He had to put in a lot of effort outside, but once he returned to his own territory, his subordinates would naturally try to please him and figure out his thoughts. He had already treated them very well. If they couldn't even do these things, they were truly beyond redemption.

He lay on his white jade bed, happily rolling around. This was the first time he had ever slept in his own bed in human form. Indeed, there's no place like home, not even a doghouse. Besides, this wasn't just a doghouse; it was a carefully crafted little haven. He took out a complete set of silk and goose down sheets and blankets from his storage bag, arranged them neatly, and spread them on the bed. Now it was even more comfortable. Sure enough, things made by humans were the best for enjoying.

He lit a stick of sandalwood incense and began to bathe. The small bed he had just made needed to be clean before he lay down. By the time he finished bathing and lay down, half an hour had passed. He prepared to meditate for a while, but he felt that his mind was a little tired, which meant that his current mental state was not suitable for meditation.

Although cultivation is something that needs to be done every day, being too tense is not a good thing, as it increases the risk of going astray. Even though he has the Golden Light Mantra to protect him, he cannot openly increase the risk in this way.

He decided not to cultivate tonight. He silently recited the Golden Light Mantra twenty times and prepared to go to sleep. The entire Golden Light Mantra is only a few hundred words long, and reciting it twenty times won't take much time.

He drifted off to sleep amidst the faint aroma of incense. He never slept this well outside; home was so much more comfortable.

He slept so happily in his cave, but the others were not so happy; none of his subordinates slept that night.

The next morning you have to report on your work and cultivation progress. You can't just improvise on the spot, can you? You have to think it through beforehand. At the very least, you have to think about what you're going to say and write it down in advance. Otherwise, if your mind goes blank and you forget everything and can't say anything, wouldn't you be waiting for punishment?

Soon, the second day arrived. As the first rays of sunlight appeared, the group of subordinates arrived at the council hall to wait for Gu Yuchuan. They all arrived very early. In fact, no specific time was mentioned last night, only that they could not arrive later than Gu Yuchuan the next morning. In addition, none of them had slept, so it was natural for them to arrive early.

However, Gu Yuchuan was actually still asleep at this time. Fortunately, he had developed the habit of going to bed early and waking up early on the battlefield, since laziness is the most deadly trait on the battlefield. So, after waiting for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Gu Yuchuan woke up. He originally planned to stay in bed for a while, but when he scanned the council hall with his divine sense and sensed that it was full of people, he woke up immediately.

Good heavens, how can these people be so busy? He, the king, hasn't even woken up yet, and they've already arrived. It's terrifying.

However, they couldn't help but take this seriously. This was the first general meeting since the establishment of the Flood Dragon Palace, and everyone was eager to prove themselves and show the King their efforts so that they would be valued more in the future.

Gu Yuchuan put on his clothes, washed up briefly, casually tied his hair back with a hairband, and went out. He really missed his days in the human race because he didn't know how to style his hair. Although it was very simple for men to just tie their hair back with a hairband and secure it with a hair crown, as a straight man, this was beyond his knowledge.

He felt he needed a maid, at least to fix his hair; otherwise, it was really quite ugly, all crooked and messy. Oh well, he didn't care anymore; there were no outsiders around, so he headed straight for the council chamber.
