There have been legends of love between humans and demons since ancient times, but no one knows whether demons really exist in the world.

However, Su Xingze could tell Zhang Haike's question very clearly that while the white snake was indeed a half-dragon, it was impossible for it to transform into human form.

This world contains many strange and mysterious entities, but they are all suppressed and controlled by the world's consciousness to prevent them from affecting the normal operation of the world.

This world doesn't seem to favor those who possess mysterious powers.

The vengeful ghosts I encountered before could have caused a bloodbath in another world, but in this world, they would hardly have the power to influence reality.

That half-dragon must have gained sentience by chance, having received some special opportunity, and then, after countless years of accumulation, achieved its current form.

Perhaps when He achieves the form of a dragon, He will have the ability to take on human form.

In short, it's not possible now because the world's consciousness doesn't allow it, and the half-dragons aren't strong enough.

Zhang Shenglin nodded, so Zhang Haike's guess was wrong.

The relationship between the person who mutated into a monster and the half-dragon is perhaps only known to the half-dragon itself.

Su Xingze pondered for a moment, then suddenly said:

[Actually, that's not necessarily true. I remember you had some scales shed by a half-dragon.]

The scales shed by the half-dragon possess a unique mystique, and Su Xingze felt they were an excellent material. He reminded Zhang Shenglin to collect the scales when they were at the tower peak.

Zhang Shenglin counted the snake scales in his personal space; he had collected quite a few, about twenty or thirty pieces.

[The Ten Spirits Scripture contains a sorcery that allows one to revisit past experiences through a medium. With the white snake's scales present, performing this sorcery is not a problem.]

Su Xingze was also very curious about the story of the White Snake. What thrilling stories had happened in the past of a snake that grew into a half-dragon under the suppression of this world?

Zhang Shenglin wasn't curious about the White Snake's past. When he heard that the little mermaid wanted to use witchcraft, he frowned slightly and refused the little mermaid's suggestion.

He wanted to know what price would be paid for using that miraculous resurrection device, and whether it would implicate any other innocent people. But the little mermaid was always the most important person, and he absolutely did not want the little mermaid to take any risks.

Especially after he almost got into trouble due to excessive exertion of his strength.

Once the little Qilin makes a decision, it's hard to change it, so Su Xingze had to suppress his gossipy thoughts.

Su Xingze was in a good mood without gossip. He could sense the little Qilin's concern even though it wasn't expressed directly.

With a slight upturn of the corners of her mouth, even the incomprehensible play on stage seemed more captivating.

After the play ended, Mr. Lin, who was sitting in the middle, escorted his wife away. As Zhang Shenglin and his wife left the theater, they saw a carriage belonging to Mr. Lin parked at the entrance.

Upon seeing the two men emerge, the coachman immediately smiled and said, "Distinguished guests, the master has asked me to escort you back."

As soon as Zhang Shenglin and his companion returned to the guest courtyard of the Lin residence, they saw the children waiting outside.

The child was about five or six years old, with a beautiful and adorable appearance. Unfortunately, his face was pale, which diminished his cuteness somewhat.

Upon seeing the child, Zhang Shenglin recognized him as Master Lin's only son.

Upon seeing the two, Young Master Lin politely bowed to them.

A faint smile played on his lips, giving him the air of a little adult.

"Gentlemen, I heard from Sister Guiyue that you were the ones who saved my mother."

When Su Xingze saw Young Master Lin, his eyes lit up. Young Master Lin's appearance combined the best features of both Master Lin and Madam Lin. He had delicate features and an adorable round face.

Most importantly, his feigned maturity reminded him of the little Qilin when they first met. The two were actually quite different in appearance and temperament. In particular, the little Qilin had a maturity beyond his years, making him the most special one among all the children.

But this did not prevent him from seeing a trace of Xiao Qilin's past in Young Master Lin.

Young Master Lin came to thank the two of them, and even brought his personal stash of money with him.

Madam Lin's health began to decline when he was born, and during his upbringing, he was mostly accompanied by his wet nurse and servants.

But what child doesn't love his mother? Even if he rarely sees her, at least she's still there, and he's still a child with a mother.

A few months ago, Mother suddenly fell seriously ill. Father sought out almost every famous doctor for Mother's sake, and the entire mansion was shrouded in a thick shadow.

No one would tell a child how serious his mother's illness is, but that doesn't mean young Master Lin knows nothing.

Children are very sensitive. During that time, he often felt a suffocating sense of oppression and even burst into tears several times for no apparent reason.

He knew his mother was dying, and he was about to become a motherless child.

Young Master Lin felt that he was already a big boy. He was afraid of losing his mother and felt helpless and fearful. He knew that his mother would be very worried about them, and he couldn't let his mother worry about him.

He was very strong and didn't cry, but... but when he went to sleep at night, tears would mischievously sneak out.

But one day, Father and the servants told him that Mother was cured.

Young Master Lin didn't understand. Not long ago, his father was so heartbroken that he couldn't even eat and stayed in the room with his mother all day long. Why did his mother get better in just a few days?

Young Master Lin was simply overjoyed; he was a child with a mother again.

Young Master Lin is willing to give all his treasures to his two older brothers who returned their mother to him.

"I'm giving all of this to you, big brother. Can you please ask Mother not to leave us again?"

Looking at the box of gold and silver beans, pearls and jade in Young Master Lin's arms, Zhang Haike gained a clearer understanding of the Lin family's wealth once again.

He was actually less wealthy than a six-year-old child. Zhang Haike was filled with sadness.

Neither Zhang Shenglin nor Zhang Haike were the type to covet the child's secret stash of money, and neither of them took the opportunity to deceive the child.

Zhang Haike explained to him that they were only fetching medicine for Madam Lin, and that they were not the ones who saved her.

Young Master Lin opened his large, clear eyes and said, "Guiyue said that without the medicine you brought, Mother wouldn't get better."

He stubbornly presented the opened box to the two of them.

Zhang Haike felt somewhat helpless. If his moral standards were any lower, he might as well have accepted all of these things. But looking into the young master Lin's pure eyes, he really couldn't bring himself to do it, even though the contents of the box were truly tempting.

A pale, cold hand took out a small jade bead from the box. Zhang Shenglin met the surprised look in Young Master Lin's eyes and said calmly, "I can't guarantee that your mother won't leave in the future, but I will try my best to help her."

Perhaps they already knew Madam Lin's fate. If it was truly as he imagined, perhaps Madam Lin...

Back in the bedroom, Su Xingze propped his head up and watched as the little Qilin wove the jade bead into a knot. He chuckled and teased, "The little Qilin is still too soft-hearted."

With his hands still winding the thread, Zhang Shenglin quietly stared at the peace knot bracelet that was taking shape in his hand. He picked up the bracelet and compared it to the little mermaid's wrist, then cut off the appropriate length.

"I just felt that we should do it."
