Reborn as a Python on the Path to Dragonhood, I Nearly Became the Empress’s Contract Beast

Mythical beast devouring + reborn as a dragon + Empress gets her revenge + beast taming + reborn + apocalyptic spiritual qi revival + decisive and ruthless + nonhuman protagonist + never takes human form.

Wang Mang is reborn as a celebrity snake, a golden reticulated python.

From the start, the reborn Empress nearly kills him, intending to use him as an ingredient in a medicinal concoction.

The death of his third sister is a lifelong source of pain for Wang Mang!

devour an electric eel, and I gain control over thunder!

The Empress stared at the screen, dumbfounded. “The one I let get away back then... was actually a real dragon?!”
