Chapter 89

When Fahai saw the green snake rushing towards the painted pleasure boat, he immediately received a reminder from the game administrator: "Quickly stop the snake demon, don't let her destroy the boat. There's a big VIP inside."

The game administrator was also frustrated. Originally, Fahai was just here to investigate the situation today, with no intention of conflict. However, on the way, he saw the green snake demon seducing ordinary players, apparently preparing to absorb their vital energy. He had no choice but to intervene reluctantly.

Upon receiving the notification, Fahai raised his head and used his divine eyes to see a person inside the boat, radiating a solemn light, surrounded by purple aura. Indeed, it was a major VIP. Upon closer inspection of the person's face, Fahai felt even more helpless. The person's identity was not simple; it was Yang Tingyong, the governor of Zhejiang, the highest military and political official of the province. If this big VIP were to be killed, he would be in big trouble.

This was really a mess. You might as well ask why this guy wasn't staying in the government office and came to play by the West Lake.

No, he must stop it!

"Where are you going, demon!" Fahai shouted, then used all his strength to rush into the West Lake. His feet quickly stomped on the water, moving swiftly like a basilisk in the tropical rainforest, creating a very impressive scene.

As a Bronze-level Maintainer, he was really putting in all his effort, running on the water like an arrow. He quickly caught up with the green snake demon. Instead of attacking, he continued forward, blocking the path in front of the boat, and then turned to face the enemy.

"Demon, you dare to attack the noble today, I cannot let you go." Fahai's eyes were wide open, his body radiating a divine light, resembling the Vajra in the temple.

On the boat, Yang Tingyong became interested and smiled at the scholars around him, "This monk has real skills, not bad. Does anyone know his background?"

A scholar stepped forward, trembling, "According to my knowledge, this is Fahai, the new abbot of Jinshan Temple, who is skilled in Buddhism and excels in catching demons."

Yang Tingyong nodded, "Hmm. His Buddhist skills are quite profound, but not boundless."

He had seen true experts who were far more powerful than Fahai. After saying this, he turned his head to continue watching the battle on the lake, thoroughly enjoying it, with no intention of moving the boat away.

Fahai, with his keen senses, heard every word Yang Tingyong said, cursing in his heart: 'I'm risking my life here, and you're watching the show, even commenting on my skills. This big VIP is really a pain. If it were anyone else, he would have been beaten to a pulp with a single blow of my staff.'

He was a proud Bronze-level Maintainer, an elite of the Federation.

The green snake demon in the lake spoke in a human voice, giggling, "Great monk, I haven't harmed anyone. Look, I haven't hurt anyone yet. Why are you trying to catch me?"

Fahai was furious, "Pah, humans have their path, and demons have theirs. Don't try to argue with me. You were flirting with a young man in broad daylight. Wasn't it to absorb his yang energy?"

"That's my brother-in-law. What's wrong with talking to him?" The green snake's appearance was fierce, but her tone was like that of a young girl.

Fahai detected a different meaning, "So the white snake demon has married a man, trying to absorb his essence? I must take care of this."

He was also a bit puzzled. If a destroyer needed to cultivate and absorb others' essence, why not just use beauty to seduce them? Why go through the trouble of getting married? Was her mind corrupted by cultivation?

The green snake, realizing she had spoken out of turn, was furious, "You stinky monk, you're just a Bronze-level Maintainer. I'll show you my power."

With that, she dived into the lake, and the water began to boil. The green snake was about to use water control.

On the lakeside, Sun Ran saw this from a distance and received a notification from Chang'e: "Rose Tree, quickly stop the green snake. She wants to cause a flood!"

"Understood." Sun Ran finished his tea in one gulp, threw a piece of silver on the table, and smiled, "Owner, no need to give change."

"Ah, sir, please walk slowly." The teahouse owner quickly collected the silver and then ran away without caring about the teahouse.

He had already seen the green snake from a distance. The people by the lake had long fled, leaving only this strange customer drinking tea. As a professional teahouse owner, he couldn't leave until the customer did, so he had to stay.

Running not far from the teahouse, the owner looked back at his shop, wondering if the customer had followed.

When he saw the middle-aged man dressed as a scholar not only hadn't run but was walking towards the lake, his eyes widened. Soon, the man disappeared into the water. After a while, a golden light flashed in the water, and a dragon's shadow could be seen leaping away.

The owner's legs went weak, and he fell to his knees, "Oh my, the Dragon King was drinking tea in my teahouse."

He didn't dare to keep the silver, crawled a few steps, and threw the silver into the lake, then kowtowed repeatedly, "I am blind, Dragon King, please don't be angry, don't be angry!"

In the West Lake, Sun Ran used his Daoist magic to transform into the shape of a true dragon, not to show off, but because the dragon form was better for water control. He quickly reached the bottom of the lake and secretly used a water-stabilizing spell.

The water-stabilizing spell, a third-level Daoist magic, could calm a ten-mile stretch of water, making it as smooth as a mirror.

Sun Ran's understanding of Daoist magic was profound, and the effect of his spell was several times better than that of an ordinary Daoist.

When the water-stabilizing spell was cast, the surface of the West Lake became as smooth as a mirror, without a single ripple, looking like a piece of jade, extremely peculiar.

Fahai, who was anxious, noticed this situation. At first, he thought it was the green snake demon's doing, but he was very puzzled. Could the heads of the green and white snakes be damaged? Why would she control the water to be so still? Was it fun?

In the lake, the green snake was also frustrated. Usually, controlling the water was like a natural instinct; she could cause a flood whenever she wanted. But today, the water didn't respond to her at all and became abnormally viscous, restricting her movements.

She was alarmed, thinking it must be the monk's powerful magic, controlling the water better than she could. She didn't dare to stay in the lake and quickly swam to the surface, fleeing rapidly.

Even as she fled, she wouldn't admit defeat, "You bald monk, you're strong. If you have the guts, wait for me. I'll get my sister to deal with you!"

Seeing the green snake retreat, Fahai, though puzzled, immediately pursued her. Usually, the green and white snakes were together, but today they were separated, giving him a chance to defeat them one by one. He couldn't let this opportunity slip away.

Thinking this, Fahai pursued even faster, determined to kick the green snake out of the game.

His strength was much greater than the green snake's. By the time he reached the shore, he was already behind her. He raised his staff, which glowed with a blinding golden light, and struck the green snake's head with all his might.

If the third-level Daoist power hit her brain, the green snake would definitely suffer soul damage, unable to reincarnate, and would be unconscious for days in the real world.

The green snake felt herself enveloped in golden light, unable to move, let alone dodge. She was terrified, thinking, "The bald monk is strong. I shouldn't have come out with my brother-in-law."

Buddhist law showed no mercy. Just as Fahai was about to strike the green snake dead, a white light suddenly flew out from the lakeside, moving as fast as a flash, hitting the golden light at the last moment.

A loud 'clang' echoed, and the golden light immediately dissipated. The white light continued forward, striking the staff and pushing it back half a meter.

"Little Green, run quickly!" a voice called from the corner of the street.

The green snake was moved to tears; her sister had come to save her. She seized the opportunity and quickly jumped out of the lake.

Strangely, as soon as Little Green left the lake, the water returned to normal, just like it was before. Even Little Green herself was puzzled, wondering if she had accidentally cultivated a power she didn't understand.

But now, escaping was the priority. Little Green didn't have time to think and transformed into a green-robed woman, blending into the crowd.

Fahai shouted, "Good demon, where are you going!"

He was about to continue the chase, but as he started, he noticed a white-robed woman watching him from the crowd. He was startled and immediately recognized her as the white snake.

The white snake was much more powerful than the green snake, and a fight would definitely cause many casualties.

Fahai gritted his teeth and had to give up.

But then he decided to find the young man the green snake called her brother-in-law. His intuition as a seasoned Maintainer told him that this young man was the key to the problem.
