Chapter 259: Can't Even Afford a Lamp
"Xinya!"
Li Jie Xuan waved his hand and summoned Xinya. For him, no matter which storyline world he was in, finding the elusive Orochimaru was extremely simple.
All he had to do was summon Xinya, then reverse the summoning jutsu…
"White Snake Sage, we meet again?" Li Jie Xuan grinned. The White Snake Sage in front of him, however, widened its eyes in terror. "Who are you? Why do you have the senjutsu chakra of Ryuchi Cave on you?"
"That's not really important, is it?" Li Jie Xuan smiled as he stretched out his neck. "According to the rules, you should grant me senjutsu chakra!"
The fear in the White Snake Sage's eyes deepened. This was the first time it had encountered a human whose reality and future it couldn't see through at all. Even more terrifying…
This human seemed to know everything about it!
"I hope you don't regret this!" the White Snake Sage threatened harshly, then bit down viciously. It secretly exerted force, intending to take advantage of the moment to bite Li Jie Xuan's head clean off.
"Flood Dragon Sage Mode!"
Silvery-white scales greatly weakened the White Snake Sage's bite force; its fangs could only just pierce Li Jie Xuan's neck. Then, the White Snake Sage suddenly realized…
A terrifying suction force burst from within Li Jie Xuan's body, crazily draining the senjutsu chakra from its own body. In just ten seconds, it had shrunk by nearly half a size.
"Damn it, stop!" The biting White Snake Sage wore a pained expression. In stark contrast, Li Jie Xuan, the one being bitten, looked utterly delighted.
"Ahh, that feels good~~"
Li Jie Xuan narrowed his eyes in enjoyment. As a large amount of senjutsu chakra poured in, his silvery flood-dragon scales became thicker and more lustrous. The dragon horns on his head seemed to grow ever so slightly, almost imperceptibly. Even the two small snakes on his arms became more ferocious…
The White Snake Sage's "beauty treatment" truly lived up to its reputation!
He just didn't know how many White Snake Sages he would have to drain dry before unlocking the next stage of Flood Dragon Sage Mode. Only after the White Snake Sage was completely drained into a shriveled husk did Li Jie Xuan pull out its fangs and toss them aside…
"You… who exactly are you?" The White Snake Sage weakly raised its head, its face full of grief. "We have no past grudges or recent enmity why are you doing this to me!?"
"I'm looking for Orochimaru!"
"Orochimaru!?" The White Snake Sage gnashed its teeth in anger. So it turns out this was that bastard's enemy coming to the door, and I ended up taking the blame!
Without any hesitation, the White Snake Sage directly sold Orochimaru out. To it, Orochimaru was just a human it got along with far less valuable than its own life!
Using senjutsu, the White Snake Sage directly sent Li Jie Xuan away. The destination was Orochimaru's base…
Li Jie Xuan opened his eyes. The surroundings were still as dark as ever. Orochimaru sat beneath a dim yellow candlelight, propping his chin as he listened to Kabuto ramble. It was just like in the anime whenever Orochimaru and Kabuto appeared together, nine times out of ten, this was the background…
Li Jie Xuan's sudden appearance clearly startled Kabuto. With a shout, he pulled out a chakra scalpel, ready to kill Li Jie Xuan, the intruder. But Orochimaru raised a hand to stop him. "Kabuto, you're not his opponent…"
"But, Lord Orochimaru!"
Kabuto still wanted to say something, maybe show a bit of loyalty. Orochimaru shook his head again. "This person comes from Ryuchi Cave. You should leave first."
Orochimaru usually only gave his orders once. When he had to repeat them a second time, even Kabuto didn't dare disobey and obediently left the room.
"Now, it's just the two of us." Orochimaru's snake-like yellow pupils flickered faintly in the dim candlelight. "Now, you can tell me your purpose!"
As expected, he was still as imposing as ever. No matter who he faced, Orochimaru always maintained that calm demeanor as if Mount Tai could collapse before him and his expression still wouldn't change!
Li Jie Xuan thought for a moment, then pointed at the oil lamp on the table and grinned.
"I just want to ask could it be that someone as rich as you, Orochimaru, can't even afford a proper lamp?"
Orochimaru didn't speak, but Li Jie Xuan could clearly see the corner of his mouth twitch sharply…
