Reborn as a Snake: I Really Don't Want to Become a Dragon

Lin Mu transmigrates to a world overrun by demons and ghosts, only to discover that he has become a house serpent in a farming family's home, protecting the house and its occupants.

After accidentally slaying a weasel spirit that demanded a young girl as a sacrifice, he obtains a Demon-Slaying and Ghost-Exorcising System.

Slaying demons grants him the demon's cultivation and spells, as well as cultivation techniques from the System. Exorcising ghosts earns him heavenly merit, giving him divine aid and letting him resonate with Heaven and Earth, becoming deathless and indestructible.

One day...

The imperial Demon-Slaying Bureau: "The emperor is preparing to shut down our bureau. We're all going to lose our jobs!"

The City God Temple: "Our ghost-catching results are terrible, and the Yin Emperor is furious. How can all of you be worse at this than a snake?"

The Jade Emperor in Heaven: "What is that thing in the mortal realm going through tribulation? Why hasn't any heavenly lightning struck it?"

The Thunder God, trembling with fear: "Its merit reaches the heavens. It's sacred and inviolable. It's wiped out nearly all the demons and ghosts in the world. We can't afford to provoke it."

"Quick, invite it to ascend to immortality! If it keeps staying in the mortal realm, even I, the Jade Emperor, will have to give up my throne to that snake!"
