When "God" Decides To Start Over

When they arrived in White Night City, Chu Jun arranged for Li Xiu to stay in the guest room of the Chu Family's courtyard, while he hurried away.

Li Xiu lay on the bed, holding the white jade bead in his hand, playing with it repeatedly.

The jade bead was crystal clear, with a mist inside that flowed like milk, looking exceptionally magical.

Li Xiu couldn't determine whether this was the Suihou Bead as the Vase Monster mentioned, but he could confirm it was undoubtedly the Demon Spirit Gemstone.

Holding this jade bead, Li Xiu continuously felt waves of hunger from his abdomen, as if urging him to quickly swallow the bead.

"The magic spirit infant in my stomach likely relies on some special substance in the Demon Spirit Gemstone to evolve. Its level is not sufficient for evolution, and my level cannot increase either, which is indeed hard to justify." Li Xiu didn't immediately turn the jade bead into a demon spirit.

Even if it's a parasitic relationship, it doesn't make sense that if the magic spirit infant doesn't ascend, neither can he.

This relationship doesn't entirely resemble parasitism; it seems more like a Symbiotic Contract with Li Xiu.

"Those three bowls of Evolution Liquid can upgrade both me and the magic spirit infant simultaneously, but I don't know what their origin is. What kind of existence is the owner of Good Luck Slope, why build such a courtyard on Good Luck Slope, and why place so many strange things here, also trapping Wan Chaocun and the others..."

Li Xiu was somewhat puzzled about what the owner of Good Luck Slope intended.

If the purpose was merely to imprison Wan Chaocun and the others, there was no need to leave so many things inside.

If imprisoning Wan Chaocun and the others was to guard the treasures of the family, then Wan Chaocun and they were counterproductive, not only unable to help guard the treasure but could become internal aides.

"Could it be that the female owner wants to give these treasures away? Or does she want to use the treasures to lure others to their deaths?" Li Xiu couldn't figure out the logic; anyway, he had never seen a normal person do such things.

With severe hunger in his stomach, Li Xiu dripped blood on the jade bead to turn it into a Demon Spirit Ring.

The blood dripped on the crystal surface of the bead and was gradually absorbed by the jade bead, but the next moment, the white mist inside the jade bead churned, rejecting Li Xiu.

The entire bead vibrated, escaping from Li Xiu's hand and falling to the ground.

A large amount of mist sprayed from the jade bead, covering the whole room's floor like dry ice, making the tables, chairs, and bed seem as though suspended in clouds.

Just as Li Xiu frowned, a white head emerged from the thick white mist, raising its head to stare at Li Xiu.

The head was clearly a snake head carved out of white jade, the size of a bucket, with wicked snake eyes coldly staring at Li Xiu.

"The Vase Monster indeed used another sinister trick; this magic spirit hasn't completely severed ties with him and remains his magic spirit, making it impossible to form a new contract." Li Xiu looked at the white jade-like snake and immediately summoned the Jedi Knight to stand in front of him.

The Jedi Knight faced off with the white snake. The white snake did not initiate an attack, and Li Xiu did not direct the Jedi Knight to attack.

After all, this was the Chu Family; if a fight broke out here and damaged someone's house, it wouldn't be appropriate.

Although the White Snake wasn't completely disconnected from the Vase Monster, the distance between them and the Trial Gate separation might prevent the Vase Monster from controlling the White Snake. A peaceful resolution wasn't entirely impossible.

The White Snake's non-aggressive stance seemed to confirm Li Xiu's thoughts.

Li Xiu was contemplating how to turn the White Snake back into a jade bead when his body suddenly underwent a transformation.

Strings of crystal liquid began oozing from his body, as if every pore was exuding liquid.

Within moments, Li Xiu's entire body was enveloped in the white liquid, which then hardened into a crystal shell, making Li Xiu appear spirit-like.

"Why did the magic spirit infant come out voluntarily this time?" Li Xiu was somewhat surprised.

The last time the magic spirit infant emerged was due to life-threatening danger, but this time there was no threat, yet it still came out, which wasn't a good sign.

Li Xiu felt his body being moved by a powerful force, walking involuntarily towards the White Snake.

The White Snake shivered as it saw Li Xiu approaching, retreating as if frightened.

But the room wasn't very large; it retreated not far before hitting the wall, leaving it with nowhere to go.

Li Xiu, controlled by the magic spirit infant, reached out to touch the trembling body of the White Snake.

The next moment, the crystal shell on Li Xiu's body began to melt, flowing towards the White Snake, covering its scales.

Li Xiu was delighted: "Could it be that the magic spirit infant discovered the White Snake Demon Spirit has greater parasitic value, so it intends to leave me and parasitize it?"

The white liquid on Li Xiu's body diminished, while the amount on the White Snake increased, soon enveloping its entire body.

The white liquid on Li Xiu was scant, leaving just a bit of white mucus connected to the White Snake's white liquid at his fingertips.

"It's finally leaving!" Li Xiu watched as the white liquid nearly detached from his fingertip but suddenly changed his expression.

The white liquid about to separate instantly adhered again, with large quantities flowing back into Li Xiu's body.

Li Xiu frantically shook his hand, attempting to fling away the last bit of white liquid.

But it was futile; the bulk bounced back, landed on him, seeped into his pores, and quickly disappeared.

Li Xiu finally noticed that the White Snake enveloped by the white liquid had vanished. He hurriedly looked down at his finger and indeed found a White Jade Ring, definitely the Demon Spirit Ring resulting from the magic spirit infant swallowing the jade bead.

Li Xiu sighed and carefully examined the magic spirit's information. At this point, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
