Chapter 118: Ideological Work

  Su Che's next test was to kill the snake woman with an otherworldly beauty in front of him.

  However, Lao Hei said that this snake woman was extremely formidable, and felt that she was on par with Tian Wu Peak's Zhen True, which means that her strength was equivalent to that of an ordinary late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

  Su Che was still in the Qi Refining stage, how could he possibly defeat an opponent who had reached the later stages of Foundation Building? The difference in strength was so great that any strategy or tactics would be useless.

  What to do? Another seemingly insoluble problem is in front of me again.

  So Su Che could only try to secretly transmit his voice to her, saying: "Don't speak, listen to me first. Actually, I have no intention of killing you, and like you, I am also being forced."

  The snake woman's expression changed slightly, her slender eyebrows furrowed slightly, of course she didn't believe Su Che's words.

  Su Che continued to transmit his voice, saying: "I'm just here to find treasure, like those human treasure hunters, all of whom are forced by some reason or another to enter the Witch's Holy Land. It can also be said that I and you are alike, both yearning to leave this place alive."

  I don't believe it

  The snake woman immediately sent a reply, but she also silently transmitted the sound, explaining that although her mouth did not believe it, her heart was still touched.

  Su Che continued: "Next, I need you to take out the courage to challenge fate, or in other words, bet your own life. If you win the bet, you can regain your freedom and leave the Witch's Holy Land alive."

  "How to gamble?" The snake woman smiled faintly, as if she had just heard a joke.

  "If you believe me, I will take you out with the identity of a witch." Su Che said calmly: "I am a witch, in this sacred place of witches, I have an advantage that the three tribes of human, demon and magic do not have. Don't I have this ability and opportunity?"

  The snake woman laughed with a crisp and clear voice that echoed around her like the sound of nature, but when she spoke, she still maintained a transmitting tone: "I know you're a witch, but why should I believe you? Why should I entrust my fate and life to your hands? Do you think I'm a fool? Your purpose is just to deceive me into not resisting, and then slaughter me."

  "That's right, if I were you, I would think so too." Su Che said patiently: "Then what do you need me to do to make you believe that my stance is the same as yours?"

  "It's very simple"

  The snake goddess smiled coquettishly and said, "You first believe me, hand over your life to me, and you can prove your sincerity. I will then return the same trust to you."

  "That's not right" Su Che also smiled: "Our situation is different, you hate me, but I don't hate you, isn't that so?"

  The snake woman tilted her head and pondered for a while before saying, "No way, it's been over a thousand years since I've spoken to anyone, my brain isn't too bright anymore, you're making me dizzy... anyway, I just don't believe you."

  Su Che had infinite patience and was just about to slowly communicate with her, but heard Lao Hei's warning: "Master, the more than 30 treasure-hunting disciples above are coming down together."

  The snake woman also sensed something and immediately lifted her head, looking up towards the lake water.

  "Damn it"

  The snake woman muttered in a low voice: "It's going to force me to kill again."

  "Go on, don't fight it." Su Che said softly.

  The snake woman lowered her head and gazed deeply at Su Che...

  Suddenly, her face changed greatly, the infinitely soft and beautiful appearance instantly turned into a fierce and terrifying monster, although it was still in human form on the upper body, but a layer of cyan scales covered her face and body, two long sharp fangs also pierced out from her lips...

  This appearance has nothing to do with the word "beauty" anymore. The huge contrast between the two shapes in front and back made Su speechless.

  "Ah"

  She let out a shrill screech and shot out of the window, her long body twisting and turning as she quickly pierced through the layer of mist and entered the lake.

  As she entered the water, her speed increased, and the dragon generally swam towards those treasure hunters who were diving down...

  *sigh*

  Su Che's sigh was inexplicable even to himself.

  However, since she has left, the only one left in this courtyard is Su Che. Taking advantage of this gap, he must search all the rooms to see if there are any other gains.

  Su Che first targeted the main building where the snake woman lived, thinking to himself that if there was any treasure, she would definitely keep it in her own residence.

  The first floor hall was empty and deserted, with no furniture or decorations at all. Without a doubt, as time passed by, everything had disappeared.

  The wooden staircase was intact and undamaged. Su Che thought that the staircase was connected to the entire mansion as a whole, and it was also part of the immortal's abode, so it could last for millions of years without rotting.

  The second floor is empty and deserted...

  The third floor was also empty and deserted

  The entire building was empty, Su Che was greatly disappointed and couldn't help but shake his head, thinking to himself: "If she spent her days like this, I really don't know how she passed the time... for over a thousand years..."

  Hurry up and went to other rooms, all of which were empty, nothing at all.

  Finally found a warehouse-style room, and it was a discovery after all.

  Why is it called a warehouse?

  Because this room only has a door and no windows, the door is tightly closed, and no matter how hard it's pushed, it can't be opened. Old Hei's probing abilities are also unable to penetrate inside. Su Che thought that only a storeroom would be designed so secretly.

  Rumble...

  The battle in the lake above grew more intense, but it had no impact on this courtyard. The ancient immortal mansion was not something that a group of Qi-refining cultivators could shake.

  Su Che and Lao Hei didn't have time to watch the battle above, they went all out, seizing every moment to break open the door in front of them...

  However, as I said before, the treasury of the ancient immortal mansion is not something that a Qi-refining cultivator can decipher.

  After a long time of busy work, for this seemingly inconspicuous wooden door, there was no way at all. Su Che also didn't dare to use too much brute force, fearing that it would trigger the counterattack of the entire fairy mansion, and his small character couldn't withstand the toss.

  After a while, Lao Hei reminded: "Master, she's back."

  "Uh-huh."

  Su Che responded with a low "en" and continued to study carefully through the door crack.

  Until the snake woman turned back into a stunning beauty and returned to the courtyard, coming to stand not far behind Su Che, he still didn't turn his head as he studied the door.

  The snake woman gazed at Su Che's back, a flash of murderous intent in her eyes, but it quickly dissipated, and she spoke softly: "I've lived here for over a thousand years, yet I've never been able to open this door."

  Su Che still didn't turn around, and in a low voice asked: "Kill them all?"

  "There aren't." The snake woman replied faintly: "There were too many people, we couldn't kill them all at once, more than half of them escaped."

  After another busy moment, Su Che finally temporarily gave up on this door, let out a long sigh, turned his head and transmitted the sound saying: "Alright, then let's continue discussing our matter."

  "What's there to say." The snake woman said with a bewildered gaze: "Isn't it just futile resistance, in the end you'll still be killed by me."

  She said that because Su Che was shrouded in the Blackstone Clearflow, she couldn't see through his cultivation strength at all and could only determine based on her habitual thinking that any witch tribe bloodline person could easily kill a demon tribe like herself.

  Even so, he was still a young man of the Wu tribe.

  "Why be so pessimistic?" Su Che said with good intentions: "If I really wanted to kill you, I would have done it long ago. Why bother talking to you for so long? How come you just won't listen to advice?"

  "Who knows what your purpose is." The snake woman hummed softly: "It's possible that you're doing this on purpose, playing a game and making fun of me as a form of entertainment."

  "Alright," Su Che retorted, "when have you ever heard of a witch having such refined and elegant emotions, playing such boring psychological games with you?"

  "Hum, maybe you're an abnormality of the Wu tribe."

  The snake woman hummed softly and revealed an extremely stubborn side, muttering in a low voice: "Obviously a witch tribe, yet doesn't like fighting, but likes to nag."

  Su Che helplessly rolled his eyes and thought: You're the one who's abnormal, being imprisoned alone for over a thousand years and not becoming abnormal would be strange...

  Of course, I thought to myself, it's impossible to say something that would provoke her, so I had to patiently persuade her: "I'm not in the mood for playing games, that voice keeps urging me to kill you, I've been holding back all this time, my heart is racing with anxiety, how can I have the energy to play games with you?"

  Mentioning 'that voice', the snake goddess's expression was stunned, and only then did she realize that Su Che might not be teasing herself. Over the years, because of 'that voice', she had suffered all kinds of hardships, clearer than anyone else, how terrifying its coercion was...

  "You really don't want to kill me?" the snake woman asked solemnly.

  "Of course!" Su Che also replied with an extremely heavy tone: "If I'm deceiving you, then let me never become a great wizard for all eternity."

  This oath, to the Witches, is truly weighty. The Witches are warlike, not because they were born crazy, but because their desire for power has no end, and even a mediocre male Witch would not lightly make such an oath.

  The snake goddess hesitated, slightly believing Su Che.

  She seemed to have a slight heart movement, Su Che took the opportunity to say: "If we were in each other's positions, I would be willing to take a gamble. If we win, it will be a vast and free world; even if we lose, it's just a difference between dying early or late, you don't believe me, choose to stay here, sooner or later you will die at the hands of the next witch."

  "Oh?" The snake woman's expression changed, and she asked: "Do you mean that even if I don't agree to your request, you won't kill me?"

  "Yes." Su Che replied seriously: "Although I am a witch, I grew up in a very warm and loving family since childhood. I have my own principles of doing things, and I absolutely cannot casually kill an innocent life that has no feud or hatred with me."

  Although this remark has some suspicion of beautifying oneself, Su Che thought that in the cruel competitive environment of Xiuzhen, he was also a person who talked about reason and principle.

  "I..."

  The snake woman was hesitant, no matter how good Su Che's words sounded, no matter how reasonable they were, she wouldn't easily trust a stranger and willingly put her life in his hands.

  "Kill her, kill her, kill her, kill her, kill her, kill her..."

  Suddenly, that spiritual fluctuation drilled into Su Che's mind again. It was clear that 'it' had become impatient. This time, the urging sound had a much higher frequency, as if it were a series of spiritual lashes driving Su Che forward.

  PS: This morning when I woke up to update the first chapter, I saw that I only got one monthly ticket overnight, and my heart was anxious. It's really frustrating, but I think, with this mindset, it's better to use it to think about the plot instead. So, without further ado, brothers and sisters, if anyone still has a monthly ticket, please give it to me, thank you very much
