    Reader note

    Protagonist's personality is antagonistic; proceed with caution if you mind! Darkness prevails, and none of the original characters meet a good end. To other creatures in nature, there's little difference between humans and demons. Human morality only applies to humans themselves; other creatures are either food, materials, or tools for special purposes (pets for emotional value, medicinal herbs for medicinal value). The White Snake Immortal, as an anomaly, clearly understands the nature of humans from an outsider's perspective—they love self-deception and self-pity, considering themselves the pinnacle of all creation, finding all sorts of reasons to convince themselves and others, rationalizing the oppression of other creatures. But conversely, if an anomaly who has become a spirit bullies and kills, that's absolutely unacceptable and will incur divine retribution! Pretty hypocritical, right? The White Snake Immortal has lived for a thousand years and has read many human novels. Those fantasy novels always talk about retribution for killing the innocent, but when humans cut down trees, gather herbs, kill animals, skin them, eat their flesh, and extract their inner cores, they never mention "innocence" or "retribution," taking it all for granted. What's even more ridiculous is that some people always like to talk about "saving all living beings," but their definition of "all living beings" is extremely narrow, specifically referring to human society.

This Flowing Cloud Long Fist is a first-rate Qi-cultivation fist technique that can help you sense and absorb spiritual energy!" Meanwhile, in a pavilion not far away, a teenager is engrossed in reading a book. The young man had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, a handsome and refined appearance.

    Uh, if you're looking for something cold and ruthless, you can read the first book. It's similar to "Great Love Immortal Venerable," about a miracle of refining tens of thousands of people just to survive. If you want a sweet romance, you can read the second book. [Facepalm] It's really sweet, no angst at all. Everyone who's read it says it's great.
