Chapter 1353: The Green and White Snake Spirits Fall in Love with Me?
Lin Lang crashed heavily onto the cold solid wood floor, but the giant blue-white python coiling around him did not loosen its grip at all. Its scales rubbed against his clothes, making a rustling sound, and the chill seeped into his bones through his pores.
He struggled to turn his head and glimpsed Zhao Liying on the bed with her eyes closed, her face pale, her long hair disheveled on the pillow, and even her breathing trembling slightly. His heart skipped a beat, and he felt both anxious and regretful.
"Hey! You've gone too far, you scared my girlfriend so badly she fainted." Lin Lang hissed in a low voice, afraid that the two snake demons would cause any more trouble.
But Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing were also completely bewildered at this moment.
When she forcefully entangled Lin Lang just now, she felt an overwhelming force tearing at her demon body, and the surrounding light and shadow shattered like glass. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself in a completely unfamiliar place.
No longer the ancient West Lake, but a cozy modern bedroom with a crystal chandelier hanging overhead, and an exquisitely crafted European-style upholstered bed in the distance.
Bai Suzhen's snake eyes narrowed slightly. Her composure, honed over a thousand years of cultivation, allowed her to regain her composure first. She sensed that there was no aura of demon hunters around her, nor any pressure from Buddhist or Taoist sects.
The room contained only a strange electromagnetic wave, faint yet dense, that I had never encountered before.

She slowly withdrew some of her demonic aura, her serpentine body loosening slightly, yet still maintaining its coiled posture, its cold white scales gleaming like porcelain under the light.
Xiaoqing, however, was less composed. Her emerald green snake head swayed from side to side, and her scarlet tongue flicked in and out rapidly, showing a mixture of wariness and curiosity.
The woman's piercing scream had instinctively put her on edge, but looking at the "strange" room beneath her and Lin Lang lying motionless on the ground, she couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement.
"Wow, sister, look! This is the year 2007 that the young master mentioned!"
Xiaoqing's voice carried the unique coldness of a snake demon, yet it couldn't hide a hint of panic, and her snake body unconsciously tightened a little more.
"Ugh!" Lin Lang groaned as he was being choked, his face turning red.
"Grandmas! Can you please let go of me? If I didn't have an indestructible body to protect me, I would have been strangled to death by your snake bodies."
Upon hearing this, Bai Suzhen's eyes flickered slightly. She recalled Lin Lang's words earlier, "There is no danger of hunting demons in this world," and seeing that he was indeed in distress, she gave Xiaoqing a wink.
The two giant shadows slowly shrank, and the two snakes, one blue and one white, swayed and transformed back into human form.
Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing stood side by side on the floor, still wearing their ancient costumes, their black hair hanging down, but their eyes still held an eerie and bewildered look.
Xiaoqing looked down at the solid wood floor beneath her embroidered shoes, then glanced at the clean, transparent glass windows, and asked curiously, "Is this the young master's residence?"
Bai Suzhen then turned her gaze to Zhao Liying, who had fainted on the bed, a hint of apology flashing across her gentle eyes:
"Young master, was this young lady frightened because of us?"
Lin Lang finally broke free of his restraints, rubbing his aching arms and back, and struggled to get up. He glared at the two of them with annoyance: "What else?"
"If someone woke up and saw two giant snakes wrapped around their boyfriend, wouldn't they faint from fright?"
As he spoke, he quickly walked to the bedside, checked Zhao Liying's breathing, and only breathed a sigh of relief after feeling her even breathing, confirming that she had just fainted from fright and was otherwise unharmed.
Bai Suzhen hurriedly said apologetically, "I'm sorry, young master. My sister and I only revealed our true forms and clung to you because we saw you were about to sneak away."
Xiaoqing playfully stuck out her tongue and giggled, "We mean no harm and don't want to hurt you or this young lady. We're just afraid you'll run away without taking me and my sister with you."
Lin Lang got goosebumps all over his body and said sadly, "I've been terrified of snakes since I was a child. Don't stick your tongue out at me, it will remind me of your snake-like body and the way you flick your tongue."
"Uh..." Xiaoqing spread her hands and shrugged her shoulders.
Bai Suzhen walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looked down at the towering skyscrapers of Shanghai's streets, and exclaimed in amazement:
"My God!
"Xiaoqing, come quick! There are so many monsters with wheels on them running so fast on the road!"
Upon hearing this, Xiaoqing hurriedly and curiously walked to the French windows, looked down at the scene below, and exclaimed in surprise, covering her mouth:
"Wow, there are black, white, and red demonic insects, and they even have glowing eyes!"
Lin Lang said somewhat speechlessly, "Those wheels that can run are mechanical fuel-powered cars, which are much faster than ancient horse-drawn carriages and are an important means of transportation in modern society."
"Also, those aren't glowing eyes, they're just headlights and taillights."
After hearing this, Bai Suzhen looked down at the cars on the road with sparkling eyes and said with great curiosity, "Modern society is really interesting. These mechanical fuel cars are more beautiful than the carriages of ancient emperors, and they run faster too."
Xiaoqing asked, puzzled, "Why is our house so far from the ground?"
Lin Lang explained, "Because this is a high-rise residential building with an elevator, we are on the 18th floor. This building has a total of 26 floors."
Xiaoqing blinked her almond-shaped eyes, looking completely confused, and asked, "What is an elevator?"
Lin Lang replied, "Once you leave your room, there's an elevator in the hallway. Just press the button, and the elevator will come automatically, open the door, and let you in. Then press the floor you want to go to, and it will quickly take you up or down the stairs. It's very convenient."
Xiaoqing said in surprise:
"Elevators are such wonderful things, allowing people to move freely up and down such tall buildings?"
Could it be some kind of teleportation technique or a flying talisman?
Lin Lang couldn't help but chuckle: "It's not some kind of talisman or spell, it's just an iron box."
Bai Suzhen's gentle eyes were full of inquiry:
"Young master, this elevator can carry people up and down without needing spiritual power or Taoist magic. Could it be that it has become a spirit?"
"It's not really a spirit or monster, just some machines pieced together from gears and wires." Lin Lang was too lazy to explain the principles in detail, and waved his hand as he was about to speak again, but was interrupted by Xiao Qing's urgent exclamation.
"Sister! Look at the sky! That bird is huge!"
Xiao Qing pointed sharply to the distant horizon outside the window, her voice filled with alarm and curiosity.
"Its wings don't even move, yet it can keep flying forward! It's dozens of times larger than any golden eagle we've ever seen!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Suzhen hurriedly moved closer to the French windows and looked at the sky in the direction Xiaoqing pointed.
A silver-gray commercial airliner was slowly passing through the clouds. Its fuselage was long and its wings were straight and outstretched, gleaming with a metallic sheen in the sunlight. It was indeed a plane that flew steadily even when its wings were still.
Even with her thousand years of cultivation and vast knowledge, she couldn't help but shrink her pupils slightly, and she covered her lips in surprise:
"This...this enormous bird is naturally able to fly like this? I have never heard of such a strange beast in the world."
Lin Lang followed their gaze and saw the passenger plane climbing, and immediately burst into laughter, unable to stand up straight:
"Haha... a big bird? You two have such terrible eyesight! That's not a bird, it's an airplane!"
"An airplane?" Xiaoqing turned to look at Lin Lang, her face full of resentment.
"Young master, you're lying! Just now you were saying in Lin'an that there are no demons in your dynasty, but this chicken can grow this big and fly in the sky. What else could it be but a chicken demon that has become a spirit?"
"Look at it, it's all silvery-white, with wide, long, and completely bald wings. It must be a chicken demon that has cultivated for thousands of years to be able to fly so steadily!"
"Pfft—" Lin Lang almost choked from laughing, tears welling up in his eyes.
"My goodness, this has absolutely nothing to do with poultry or chickens!"
He finally managed to stop laughing and explained, "This is a commercial airliner, a manned aircraft made of metal and an engine. It's not a living thing, much less a demon!"
"An airplane can seat hundreds of people and fly by using fuel-powered engines."
"A manned aircraft?" Bai Suzhen murmured, her eyes filled with shock. "Such a wondrous creation exists, allowing ordinary mortals to soar through the skies without the need for cloud-riding techniques?"
"Of course." Lin Lang proudly raised his chin.
"If this plane has enough fuel, it can fly tens of thousands of kilometers. It would only take about twenty hours to fly from here to the other side of the world."
"Tens of thousands of kilometers?" Xiaoqing gasped, her almond-shaped eyes widening. "That's dozens of times farther than flying from Lin'an to Kunlun, right? How can a plane fly that far and carry hundreds of people?"
Bai Suzhen was also filled with amazement, watching the passenger plane gradually disappear outside the window, her eyes full of longing for this new world. Her previous concerns about the thin spiritual energy had long since vanished.
She turned to look at Lin Lang, her gentle eyes filled with apology and earnestness:
"Young master, the existence of such wondrous creations in this world is truly an eye-opener."
"It was completely unintentional to startle and frighten your wife just now. I hope you won't take offense, young master."
Lin Lang turned to look at Zhao Liying, who was lying unconscious on the bed, and said with a sigh, "It's alright. When she wakes up, I'll just lie and say she had a nightmare."
Xiaoqing asked curiously, "Young Master is an immortal who has been reborn from the ashes, so why is your wife so timid? She was frightened to the point of fainting by me and my sister?"
Lin Lang replied, "This is just one of my concubines. She is just a mortal woman. Of course she would be frightened to death if she saw a snake demon entwining her."
After hearing this, Bai Suzhen tentatively asked, "Does the young master have many wives and concubines?"
Lin Lang replied frankly, "I don't have many wives and concubines, maybe a few dozen at the moment."
Upon hearing this, Xiaoqing's eyes widened to be bigger than copper bells, and her mouth opened into a round "O" shape. After a long while, she managed to utter a gasp of disbelief: "Ah? Dozens of wives and concubines? Isn't that a lot?"
She instinctively raised her voice, turned to look at Bai Suzhen, her face full of disbelief:
"Sister, did you hear that?"
The young master said that having dozens of wives and concubines wasn't too many!
Even the emperor of the Song Dynasty, the sovereign of the land, though said to have "three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines," actually only had a few dozen wives and concubines—a truly unique situation in the world!
Bai Suzhen was also greatly shocked. Her gentle brows froze instantly, and her composed demeanor relaxed a bit. She raised her slender hand and subconsciously covered her slightly parted lips, her eyes surging with astonishment and surprise.
Her gaze towards Lin Lang held a hint of disbelief, and she said in astonishment:
“Young master, even in the mortal world, the number of wives and concubines of emperors is rarely more than this. You actually say that dozens of wives and concubines are not a lot. This really astonishes us sisters.”
She has lived for a thousand years and has seen all the kings, nobles and generals of the world.
Even the most extravagant noble families and kings had no more than a dozen concubines in their harems.
The emperor's harem may seem grand, but the actual number of women on the register is only a few dozen. Lin Lang's casual remark, "not many," completely overturned the understanding of the two snake spirits.
Lin Lang actually said, "To tell you the truth, I already have a large number of wives and concubines. You two snake spirits should not fall in love with me, and you should not pester me."
Upon hearing this, Bai Suzhen's face flushed red, and she said shyly, "Why do you say that, young master? Neither of us sisters would ever fall for you!"
Lin Lang said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry:
"I'm a scumbag player who's been with countless women. You can see the light in your eyes when you look at me. I can feel your longing and affection for me. You're about to become my crony."
