Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest

"Ah~"

The Great Monster yawned hugely and then lazily waved her slender hand.

Wang Chen awkwardly closed his mouth.

He had been talking for an entire "two-hour period," leaving his mouth dry and his tongue parched.

He recounted everything that had happened within and outside the Cloud Sun Sect in the last dozen years, as long as he was aware of it.

But the more he spoke, the more bored the other party seemed to become.

Tough audience!

The Great Monster frowned and asked with disappointment, "Is that all? There's no fun in any of this."

Wang Chen helplessly said, "Elder, this disciple's status is humble, and what I know is really quite limited."

He was neither a Dragon Gate Storyteller nor a know-it-all in the Martial World, neither knowledgeable about astronomy above nor geography below.

And how could he know many secrets of his sect?

"That won't do."

The Great Monster pouted and said, "You must tell me something interesting, otherwise don't expect me to lend a hand to help."

Something interesting?

A light of inspiration flashed through Wang Chen's mind, and he tentatively asked, "Then may this disciple tell a story?"

The Great Monster smiled, "Of course you may, as long as it pleases me."

For eight hundred and seventy-three years, she had been suppressed here for a full eight hundred and seventy-three years.

Although she spent most of the time in slumber, waking up to the empty cavern and the eight Demon-Locking Pillars was incredibly lonely.

Now that an interesting little fellow had finally been caught, she naturally wanted to give him a good shake.

Just not to break him.

"Ahem!"

Wang Chen cleared his throat and, with a bold heart, began, "The tale goes that in the Divine Land of the East, there was a mountain named Qingcheng. Beneath Qingcheng Mountain, a white snake practiced for a thousand years and transformed into a human..."

Wang Chen was recounting "The Legend of the White Snake," a story known to every household in his previous life!

What he was telling wasn't the original story from Feng Menglong's "Stories to Caution the World."

It was the plot from the TV drama "The Legend of the White Snake"!

Because the beginning of the original story contained a lot of introductions and groundwork, where the male and female leads appeared much later, making it unsuitable for the demands of the golden three chapters and unlikely to immediately resonate with the present listener.

But the beginning of the TV drama was different, as it started directly with the female lead, which undoubtedly would resonate with the audience.

Of course, to fit the reality, he replaced Guanyin Bodhisattva with Empire Land Empress.

The thousand-year-old snake demon, troubled by her inability to ascend, fortunately received guidance from Empire Land Empress.

To resolve the karma of her past life,

She transformed into the beautiful lady Bai Suzhen, accompanied by her maid Qing, traveled far to Jiangnan, and searched for her benefactor Xu Xian.

By West Lake, they shared a boat to avoid the rain, fell in love at first sight, and became husband and wife.

Then, after marriage, faced many trials and tribulations...

As Wang Chen spoke, memories from his past life surged in his mind.

The scenes from the TV series were vivid before his eyes.

He spoke more and more fluently, like a true storyteller, fully immersed in the story.

As the sole listener, the Great Monster initially had a hint of mockery in her eyes,

as if to scoff at Wang Chen's opportunistic approach, thinking that telling a story about the White Snake could please her.

However, as she listened, she became immersed in the story's main character, transforming into Bai Suzhen, who cultivated for a thousand years and was trapped by cause and effect, devoted body and soul in gratitude but ultimately met with an unexpected disaster!

The Great Monster, supporting her cheek with her hand, listened intently, hanging on every word.

When Wang Chen reached the part where Lady White risked everything to save her husband during the flooding of Mount Jinshan, she showed a look of admiration.

Upon hearing that Fa Hai cruelly beat the loving couple apart and suppressed Lady White under Leifeng Pagoda,

her eyes gleamed fiercely, the eight chains rattled loudly, and the Golden Cudgel attached to her tail vibrated vigorously.

Around the altar, illusions of wind, rain, thunder, and lightning even began to appear!

It wasn't until Wang Chen finished the final ending that these illusions silently vanished.

In the Demon-Suppression Cavern, it was extremely quiet, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Wang Chen, having finished the story, was meditative, as if awaiting fate's judgment.

Telling the story of "The Legend of the New White Snake" to this Great Monster before him was undoubtedly a great risk.

If he happened to touch upon a taboo of hers, he might have been swallowed whole.

There seemed nowhere to appeal for injustice.

But Wang Chen still decided to take the risk.

First of all, the other party did not show any hostility.

Although there was always a hint of condescension and teasing in the Great Monster's tone when it spoke to him.

But if you were to say there was malice, there was none.

Secondly, Wang Chen believed that the Mysterious Turtle wouldn't really trap him and Yuanyuan.

It said that this was Yuanyuan's opportunity.

Clearly, it was true.

Wang Chen had not forgotten that Chang Chun had once told him that the strongest in the Cloud Sun Sect were a fox, a turtle, and a snake.

He didn't know who the "fox" was.

But to say there's no connection between this turtle and snake would be completely impossible!

The most important thing was that the other party was a woman.

Who was the main audience of "The Legend of the White Snake"?

Women!

And who was most likely to be moved and touched by such a story?

Women!!

Therefore, Wang Chen decisively went all-in.

He was very grateful that as a child, he had watched "The Legend of the White Snake" three times.

Otherwise, he really wouldn't have been able to speak so fluently!

"A very interesting story,"

After a long while, the Great Monster suddenly spoke, "Bai Suzhen, that's a nice-sounding name."

She stuck out her lilac tongue and licked her fiery red lips, "From now on, I'll be called Bai Susu."

Then she asked Wang Chen, "Little guy, what do you think of this name?"

Wang Chen praised enthusiastically, "Good, a good name!"

The Great Monster chuckled, "You're insincere, you slippery little thing."

"But I like this name!"

With a flick of her finger, a line of seal script instantly appeared on the rock wall hundreds of steps away.

Below Taihao Peak, Bai Susu!

After admiring it for a moment, the Great Monster Bai Susu nodded in satisfaction and said, "You've passed the test."

Wang Chen was immediately overjoyed, hurriedly took Yuanyuan out of the Storage Bag.

He respectfully presented her to Bai Susu, "I'm troubled, senior!"

Bai Susu reached out to take Yuanyuan, looked at the trembling little creature with its eyes closed, and chuckled, "Meeting me is your fortune."

No sooner had her words fallen than she breathed on Yuanyuan.

Then, she casually tossed it onto the altar.

Yuanyuan rolled a few times, and its form suddenly underwent a huge change.

Under Wang Chen's dumbstruck gaze, it turned into a little loli over three feet tall.

Yuanyuan's face, big eyes, pink little nose, and lips, two fluffy pointy ears, and a tuft of golden fur standing high atop its head.

This exquisitely adorable little Ya was wearing the beautiful vest that Wang Chen had custom-made for it!

In the blink of an eye, a Spirit Mouse became human, with even its clothes growing larger.

Bai Susu's trick was truly marvelous!

And the newly transformed human Yuanyuan was a bit dazed, looking around with an overwhelmed expression.

Tears of panic still lingered in her eyes.

Seeing this was heartbreaking for Wang Chen, who quickly stretched out his hands, "Yuanyuan."

Yuanyuan immediately reacted, and without a second thought, she ran on her little short legs and hurled herself into his arms.

She rubbed her face vigorously against Wang Chen's chest, whimpering.

"Yiyi, Lord!"
