Marrying a White Snake Wife is Super Cool

BANG!

A huge cloud of dust billowed up on the shore where the twenty-some-meter-long Soaring Snake lay twisted and broken.

The Flood Dragon hovering in the sky let out a roar, swallowed the Soaring Snake’s gallbladder, and then dove into the sea and vanished.

Gu Gaoxu was ecstatic. "Whoa! Uncle, did you see that? The Soaring Snake is dead! It’s just a shame the gallbladder’s gone. We could have made that Snake Gallbladder and Chuanbei Liquid you mentioned."

Lu Yuan was in no mood to pay attention to any of this. The situation had escalated beyond his wildest imagination; ’it’s enough to fry my CPU.’

The Flood Dragon was also proud. It didn’t help the tiger and instead sank directly to the bottom of the sea.

The leader of the Easterners, holding the Top Grade Spirit Capturing Device, trembled so hard he staggered and fell. He pressed his left hand against the wet ground, and when he lifted it, it was covered in a sticky red liquid.

The leader of the Easterners scanned his surroundings. A river of blood flowed around him, and the nearby sea was stained red. The powerful visual shock left him stunned for a long time.

Most of the Easterners who had landed on the island in three waves had been utterly defeated.

The tiger spat the horn in its mouth onto the ground and then chomped down on Jiutun Tongzi’s crotch.

"Hiss..." Gu Gaoxu winced, his face contorting. He felt a phantom pain himself. "That tiger’s not a picky eater. It’s so small, but it can still get it down. Wonder if it tastes funny!"

Lu Yuan slapped Gu Gaoxu on the back of the head. "There’s a young lady present. Watch your mouth!"

Gu Gaoxu glanced at Su Liyan, then tapped his head with a grin to show he understood. Inwardly, however, he thought, ’Her kid is already one year old, and he’s still calling her a young lady.’

Yunyun sent a telepathic message to both Lu Yuan and Su Liyan. "Brother-in-law, Sister, it looks like things here are settled. We’ll take them and head back."

"Why don’t you stay for a meal before you go? It’d be a shame not to eat such fine beast meat," Lu Yuan said.

"No, Brother-in-law. Just leave the beast meat there. A Xingzi will come for it."

Lu Yuan grunted in acknowledgment and looked at Su Liyan, who replied, "Be careful on your way back. Don’t let anyone else see you!"

Su Liyan wasn’t afraid of being hunted down by the Human Race’s Daoists, but rather of disturbing the Human Race in general.

Yunyun nodded and flew toward the mountain peak.

On the shore, the tiger knocked Jiutun Tongzi to the ground. After a roar, it too leaped into the sea and vanished.

The Soaring Snake was dead, Jiutun Tongzi was incapacitated, and the Flood Dragon and tiger were gone. As far as the eye could see, there were no Da Xingzi left.

Lu Yuan and the others brushed the dirt off their clothes and stood up. All seven hundred of them rose in unison, completely covering the high slope.

Only Gu Zhaolian remained sprawled on the ground, his eyes vacant, unable to believe he had been so thoroughly defeated.

Twenty to thirty Eastern Cultivators surrounded their leader. The Top Grade Spirit Capturing Device in his hand flashed red, signaling that there were no more demons to summon.

Gu Gaoxu, looking immensely proud, waved a military banner and yelled, "Brothers, charge! Capture them alive!"

Lu Yuan waved his hand, signaling his Mansion Guards.

More than seven hundred men charged down the slope and surrounded the twenty to thirty Eastern Cultivators. In just three or four minutes, they had captured every last one of them alive...

「The next morning」 An soldier came to Gu Gaoxu’s tent to report that the corpses of the Soaring Snake and Jiutun Tongzi had disappeared during the night, as if dragged away by something.

After hearing this, Gu Gaoxu didn’t pursue the matter.

Gu Gaoxu went to Lu Yuan’s tent, where the Mansion Guard at the entrance announced him.

"Please, come in."

When Gu Gaoxu entered the tent, Su Liyan was tidying up her clothes.

Gu Gaoxu said with a grin, "Brother Lu, I owe you big time for your help."

"Brother Lu?"

"Uh, Uncle. Ah, calling you Uncle just feels so awkward!" Gu Gaoxu said, embarrassed.

Lu Yuan let out a hearty laugh. "Forget it. It doesn’t sound right to me either. Let’s just call each other brothers."

Gu Gaoxu was overjoyed to hear this. He gave Lu Yuan a friendly punch on the shoulder and said, "Brother Lu, you’re the best."

Gu Gaoxu changed the subject. "My cousin, Gu Zhaolian, defected to the enemy and stabbed me in the back. What should we do about it? Escort him to the authorities?"

"I’m afraid that’s not a good idea. He is the Sixth Son of King Lu, after all. I doubt any official would dare to take on this case," Lu Yuan said calmly.

Gu Gaoxu clapped his hands in a moment of realization. "We’ll tie him up and take him back to the Yan Mansion! Let my old man deal with this."

"Our rescue mission is complete. The rest is none of our business!" After saying this, Lu Yuan started packing his bag.

Elephant Island was filled with the stench of blood. They had been busy late into the night and had only managed to get a little sleep on the island. Lu Yuan didn’t want to stay here a moment longer.

「That day」 Gu Gaoxu’s and Lu Yuan’s teams returned to the mainland in batches by dragon boat, leaving the ravaged Elephant Island behind them.

Gu Gaoxu led a team of about two hundred men to escort Gu Zhaolian back to Yandu, taking the back roads to avoid King Lu’s spies.

Meanwhile, Lu Yuan led his trusted followers and Mansion Guards back to Taiping City. He had expected a grueling battle, but it had turned into a mere field exercise.

Lu Yuan never would have thought a Flood Dragon and a tiger would emerge to fight the Easterners’ Da Xingzi. As a result, his trusted followers and Mansion Guards didn’t have to lift a finger. In the end, they just cleaned up the battlefield and collected a good number of weapons and Treasure Tools.

Su Liyan, sitting in the passenger seat, asked, "Ge, what are the Inner Cores from the Soaring Snake and Jiutun Tongzi used for?"

Lu Yuan replied while driving, "Wifey, you might not know this, but tangible Da Xingzi with over a thousand years of practice are living creatures. They’ve already formed an Inner Core inside them, which concentrates all their cultivation. It’s the perfect material for alchemy."

"The elixirs refined from these Inner Cores are, at a minimum, Earth Level Superior Elixirs. They’re priceless treasures you can’t find on the market."

After hearing this, Su Liyan nodded and said with a smile, "Ge, I have one too!"

Lu Yuan turned to stare at Su Liyan, his eyes scanning her from head to toe. He laughed. "Wifey, stop kidding around. You’re still so young, how could you have something like that?"

There was no way Lu Yuan would believe Su Liyan when she said she had an Inner Core. If she had said she had a snake gallbladder, he might have considered if she was telling the truth.

Su Liyan pouted. "Ge, I’m only twenty years old, and so young and beautiful. How could I have an Inner Core? I meant my family has a box of them at home!"

"A box?" Lu Yuan asked in disbelief. "My god, a whole box? That must be at least several of them!"

"Oh, to be precise, it’s a small chest," Su Liyan said nonchalantly. "My mom saved them. She said my grandmother left them behind. We didn’t know what they were for, so they’re just collecting dust back at our old home."

Lu Yuan slammed on the brakes, stopping the car in the middle of the road. He cupped Su Liyan’s face in his hands, stared into her vertical pupils, and asked with utmost seriousness, "Is that true? Doesn’t that mean we’re rich?"

Lu Yuan felt like he’d become rich overnight. This was something that hundreds of millions of taels of silver couldn’t buy.

Su Liyan’s cheeks were squished out of shape by Lu Yuan’s hands. Pouting her sexy, crimson lips, she nodded.

Lu Yuan excitedly gave his wife a loud smack of a kiss. He let go of her face and placed his hands on the steering wheel, saying happily, "Looks like we’ll have to butter up my mother-in-law. We’ll ask her to give us a few to refine into elixirs. That would be a huge help."

Su Liyan said in a sweet voice, "Ge~ What’s there to coax her about? I can just make a trip to our old home and bring them all back for you."

Lu Yuan quickly refused. "That wouldn’t be right. After all, they’ve been passed down for generations. How could we just take them all without your mother’s permission?"

"Alright, I’ll listen to whatever you say, Ge~" Su Liyan pinched Lu Yuan’s cheek and whispered in his ear, "Ge, you should start driving. There are twenty cars waiting behind us."

"Oh, right!" Lu Yuan stomped on the accelerator, eager to get back to the Lu Mansion. He really was looking forward to seeing his mother-in-law now.

At a fork in the road, Lu Yuan’s Mansion Guards said their goodbyes and returned to the Martial Hall outside the city.

Lu Yuan also ordered his trusted followers to drive the cars to the Martial Hall, saying it was to train the Mansion Guards how to drive. The number of cars would gradually increase in the future, and he wanted to ensure everyone was a skilled driver.

Lu Yuan and Su Liyan, the two of them in one car, pulled up and parked steadily at the Lu Mansion gate.

Lu Yuan rushed through the Lu Mansion’s main gate, shouting, "My dearest mother-in-law, I’ve missed you so much!"
