The Snake Lord's Gratitude

Jing Zhen was the most revered serpent of the Snake Clan, yet even after ten thousand years of cultivation, he had failed to ascend to immortality.

One day, Immortal Lord Ruoyu from the immortal realm enlightened him: if he repaid the debt of gratitude he owed the woman who had saved his life five hundred years ago, he could attain immortality.

He searched all nine kingdoms but couldn't find his benefactor. It wasn't until he entered a matriarchal kingdom, the Hundred Blossoms Kingdom, that he finally caught sight of her from behind.

His attendant, Qing Jian, said, "Master, don't mortals say that a life-saving debt should be repaid by offering oneself in marriage? If you marry her, you'll be able to ascend to immortality."

Jing Zhen: "I came to repay a debt of gratitude, not to get married."

"You silly snake. You didn't hear the whole thing. People care about looks, too. When they meet someone attractive, they say, 'I have no way to repay you for saving my life, so I can only offer myself in marriage.' When they meet someone ugly, they say, 'I have no way to repay you for saving my life, so I can only be your ox or horse in my next life, and repay this great kindness.'"

The next moment,

he saw his benefactor's face.

Jing Zhen: "I can do that."

Qing Jian: "Do what?"

Jing Zhen: "Marry her to repay my debt."

Qing Jian: "???"

Why did he change his mind so quickly?
