Yun Xingyu, a thousand-year-old white snake, opened his eyes to find himself stranded in a bizarre forest. His first encounter was with the Tomb-Raiding trio. His peerless looks and bewildered manner put Zhang Qiling on guard, while Wu Xie couldn’t help feeling for him.
Deep inside the Lu Palace, trapped in the Hanging Soul Ladder, he spoke with a faint glimmer in his golden eyes: “The life gate is in the Kan position. The three of us should step out together toward Zhen and Dui!” With that, he cracked a thousand-year-old killing trap.
The instant the life gate opened, corpse beetles attacked! The Black Gold Ancient Blade grazed his throat before embedding itself in the stone wall. Zhang Qiling had saved him, but his gaze cut like a blade. “What are you?”
“Yun Xingyu.” He met his eyes calmly. “A snake that lost its way.”
From then on, he became the team’s most fragile and most lethal brain. In the bitter cold of the Heavenly Palace, frost left his scales faintly visible. In the poisonous miasma of the Snake Marsh Ghost City, he shed his skin and burned with fever, trembling as Wu Xie bundled him into a down jacket. Xie Yuchen handed him a satellite phone, his voice cool but hiding a burning intensity. “The Queen Mother of the West’s palace needs your brain.” Hei Xiazi crushed a packet of realgar powder with a grin, his gaze like a hook behind his sunglasses. “Little snake, don’t you have a few too many protectors?”
His wisdom illuminated the long-buried mysteries of the Kingdom of the Queen Mother of the West. His inhuman identity came to light amid life-and-death trials, only to bind him to them more deeply. But the ultimate whisper behind the Bronze Gate resonated with the memories in his blood! When “It” and the Wang family saw him as the key to unlocking the ultimate secret, and protection collided fiercely with possessiveness amid a web of schemes, how would this white snake, weakest in combat but peerless in planning, find his way home amid Zhang Qiling’s blood, Hei Xiazi’s laughter, Xie Yuchen’s schemes, and Wu Xie’s warmth? And the ending they face together will overturn everything they thought they knew.
This book seems to be good enough to pass the time. I feel like the back looks much better than the front.
