As a member of the Lingyin Temple Tribunal, Tang Yue was well aware that many people were eyeing the totem snake.
There are both good and bad aspects.
Tang Yue has been working hard to improve her strength and status during this period in order to protect the totem snake that has accompanied her since childhood.
Therefore, she did not hinder Su Lan's plan at all, but was happy to see it succeed.
Su Lan did this to help her and the Totem Serpent eliminate those who coveted the Totem Serpent's power.
"Don't worry, we'll be back soon."
Su Lan pinched Tang Yue's cheek, then called Apas and Lingling, who were playing with the totem snake, to come down.
The two obediently came to Tang Yue's side, watching as Su Lan and Serafina flashed onto the head of the totem snake.
Immediately afterwards, the totem serpent disappeared into the pool.
When it reappeared, the totem snake floated among the high-rise buildings in Xihang, about 10 meters above the landmark.
When most of the totem serpent's body was submerged in the lake, Su Lan still didn't have a real sense of its size.
Looking at the environment of being surrounded by clouds, I can now truly appreciate just how enormous the Black Serpent is.
With its height of over a thousand meters, massive size, and the oppressive aura emanating from the black serpent, it instantly swept across the entire Xihang region.
In an instant, whether they were at work or out and about, everyone saw a huge figure disappearing into the clouds in the city center.
"What...what is this?!"
"It's a demon! A demon has invaded Xihang! How could it be so huge!"
"Call the police...no, report it to the Tribunal...no, the Magic Association...Guardian Mage..."
Whether they were monks or ordinary people, everyone stared in disbelief at the enormous figure standing in the city center, fear spreading through their hearts.
The Xihang Magic Association, Lingyin Temple Tribunal, and other official organizations that discovered the existence of the totem serpent immediately activated emergency alerts.
All the high-level mages used the fast passage to fly to the location of the Totem Serpent at top speed.
Some people were afraid, some were confused, and some felt that something was wrong with the sudden appearance of the demon.
This aura seems familiar; I feel like I've sensed it somewhere before.
Until the totem serpent's enormous head emerged from the clouds and clearly appeared in everyone's sight.
Its enormous head, like a floating island, and its huge vertical pupils gazed upon the entire city.
Just as they were about to activate the highest level of black alert, foreshadowing the impending catastrophe that would destroy Xihang, the figure of the totem serpent vanished.
At this moment, whether they were high-level or advanced mages about to face the totem serpent, or people who were desperately trying to escape from Xihang, they all stood still.
"Gone...disappeared..."
Tang Zhong, the presiding judge of the Lingyin Temple Tribunal, watched the figure disappear into the sky, and his rapid breathing calmed down slightly.
The moment that aura appeared, Tang Zhong knew who it was.
It is their Tang family's guardian deity—
Totem: Black Serpent!
Especially when the head of the totem serpent emerged from the clouds and appeared before everyone, he was completely certain of his guess.
At this moment, Tang Zhong was not alone behind him.
Beside him were the president and vice president of the Xihang Magic Association; Zhu Meng, the former palace magician who had just arrived in Xihang; several councilors from Xihang; and several vice presidents of the Lingyin Temple Trial Committee.
Leng Qing's figure was prominently among them.
She was originally supposed to return today to submit her assignment and take a short break.
Unexpectedly, upon returning, I discovered a demonic figure in the center of Xihang City.
As a high-ranking member of the Lingyin Temple Judgment Council, she had only seen that figure a short time ago, and based on the aura she sensed from him…
It was immediately recognized as the greatest hidden place in West Hangzhou.
Totem: Black Serpent!
She glanced around and noticed the changes in the expressions of high-ranking officials in various sectors of Xihang. She knew that there would be a major conflict when she returned.
Leng Qing wasn't interested in any of that, but she remembered that Su Lan and her sister were both in Xihang.
Leng Qing contacted her younger sister directly, obtained the address, and then left the group.
The others saw Leng Qing leave the group directly, and although they were puzzled, they did not stop her.
Although Leng Qing was only the deputy chief judge of the Lingyin Temple Trial Committee, her status was no lower than anyone else present because of her background.
Watching Leng Qing disappear into the horizon, Tang Zhong and his group silently searched for a while before quickly returning to the Magic Association.
On the way back, several high-ranking officials issued orders to appease the crowd and mobilize all available resources to maintain order and prevent anyone from taking advantage of the chaos.
As for an explanation to the public, there will be one, but it needs to be decided carefully.
...
On the other side, as soon as Leng Qing arrived at the outskirts of the Tang family's territory, he was led by Tang family members to the island in the middle of the lake.
There, she saw Su Lan and the others.
At the same time, we also saw Apas and Lingling playing with the totem snake.
Seeing this harmonious and blissful scene, Leng Qing had a thousand thoughts surging in her mind, which finally turned into a gentle smile as she stretched out her arms to hug her.
Standing next to Su Lan, Tang Yue saw her best friend arrive and assumed she was going to be hugged. Tang Yue stretched out her arms, ready to hug her back.
However, Leng Qing's next move left her stunned.
Leng Qing turned a few angles and hugged Su Lan in front of her best friend Tang Yue.
"Little brother Su Lan, long time no see~~~"
The fragrant breeze wafted over, and the surging impact did not cause Su Lan to fall back, but instead caused Leng Qing to bounce back slightly.
But Leng Qing had already embraced Su Lan, so he stood firmly in place.
Standing to the side, Tang Yue felt a flush rise to her face as she looked at herself, who seemed like an outsider.
"You bastard, Leng Qing! This is my man, not yours!"
Six months ago, after learning that Su Lan had saved Leng Qing's father, Leng Qing started to look at Su Lan with a strange expression.
At first, Tang Yue thought it was an expression of gratitude towards Su Lan.
But as time went on, even the most oblivious person would notice something was wrong.
What best friend would look at her best friend's man with such affection?
At that time, Tang Yue began to be wary of Leng Qing.
She initially intended to intentionally or unintentionally hinder the two from getting closer, mainly to prevent Leng Qing from continuing to be intimate with Su Lan.
It's just that she's too busy, so busy that she doesn't even have the chance to implement this idea.
Seeing her best friend hugging her man so skillfully and naturally, she knew perfectly well that her home might have been burgled!
The grudges that had been building up for more than half a year erupted at this moment.
Su Lan had initially thought she was about to face a chaotic situation and had even made preparations accordingly.
If negotiations fail, he will resort to the most direct repressive measures.
There is no enmity that cannot be overcome by the bond of camaraderie forged in battle.
However, the process took Su Lan by surprise.
Instead of resorting to the typical female-on-female fight, the two used various excuses to let Su Lan take full advantage of them.
Leng Qing kissed Su Lan once, and Tang Yue kissed her twice.
Not to be outdone, Leng Qing pressed her body tightly against Su Lan.
Tang Yue didn't hesitate and stuck it on as well.
The three finally entangled in a sandwich-like formation, maintaining a final act of restraint.
Serafina simply covered her mouth and chuckled at the interaction between the three.
Apas pouted, feeling both disdain and unwilling to be left behind when she saw her master being popular.
Only Lingling felt like the world was about to collapse when she saw her older sister like this.
