A Snake Transmigrated as a Scum A - Chapter 53

Fu Man has been investigating for two days but still hasn’t been able to find out the cause of the energy fluctuation.

A Ci suggested, “Could it be a case of being possessed by a demon?”

Fu Man’s expression was serious: “No, being possessed by a demon is a deviation in Qigong practice, leading to hallucinations, auditory hallucinations, and delusions.”

But she didn’t exhibit these symptoms; her breath was just erratic, her meridians were chaotic, and she couldn’t control it, making it impossible for her to calm down.

A Ci was distressed; this had already affected her cultivation and needed to be resolved quickly. “Since we can’t find the source, let’s see if there’s a way to solve this problem. Your Highness, how did you calm the violent energy back then?”

After finishing, A Ci waited for a response but received none. When she looked up, she saw Her Highness expression was complicated, accompanied by a hint of contemplation and hesitation.

“Your Highness, have you thought of something?”

Fu Man walked past her: “There is indeed a way, but I need to ask someone first.”

“Who are you asking about?” A Ci quickly responded, “Miss Li?”

Fu Man found Li Yingxue in the corner of the garden.

Meanwhile, Li Yingxue was sitting on a chair basking in the sun, occasionally drawing a talisman with her right hand resting on the armrest, reading the pheromones of the snakes passing by her.

They seem to be quite enjoying themselves.

It seems like she’s not really afraid of snakes anymore.

Fu Man leisurely walked up to her and asked, “In a good mood?”

Li Yingxue gave a faint “mm” and continued drawing the talisman. However, as she was drawing, she suddenly couldn’t read anything.

Her willow-like brows knitted together.

Fu Man reminded her, slightly bending over and reaching out her hand towards her: “Out of spiritual power? Give me your hand.”

Li Yingxue’s gaze fell on the woman’s face. Not knowing what she was thinking, she reached out and placed her hand in the woman’s palm.

Fu Man held her delicate hand, infusing spiritual power into the snake ring, “Done.”

“Thank you.” Li Yingxue raised her index finger and stared at the snake ring, “What should I do if… you leave?”

Fu Man followed her gaze to the snake ring, “I won’t take it back. Before we go back, I will inject enough spiritual power for you to use for a lifetime all at once.”

“What happens after I die?” Li Yingxue raised her eyes, “I heard A Ci say that it is your true form.”

She asked again, “Will it disappear?”

Fu Man sat down on the chair right next to her and said, “I’ll come back to take it, you don’t need to worry about it.”

Li Yingxue’s eyes dimmed, and she remained silent for a long time. Then her red lips curled into a self-mocking smile: “I thought… it could be my burial item, but it’s normal for you to take it away. After all, it’s yours.”

As she spoke, her gaze turned cold.

Fu Man squinted at the distant bright sunlight and said with a smile, “Why are you thinking about such distant things?”

Li Yingxue didn’t continue the topic and instead asked, “Why are you here?”

Fu Man finally stated her purpose: “I’ve encountered a problem with my cultivation.”

Li Yingxue: “What happened that day?”

Fu Man: “Yes, the energy is violent, I can’t calm down, I can’t find the source.”

Li Yingxue: “Has this situation occurred before?”

Fu Man: “No.”

Li Yingxue: “Could it be because you’re here? Are there any restrictions on you here?”

Fu Man pondered, “The Heavenly Dao would suppress me, causing some spiritual power to be lost every day. However, I have already solved this problem, so theoretically, there shouldn’t be any more restrictions.”

“Li Yingxue…” Fu Man turned to look at her, “I’ve noticed that our spiritual consciousness is very highly compatible.”

“What compatibility of spiritual consciousness?” Li Yingxue squinted her eyes.

Fu Man explained, “That day when you lifted the pheromone isolation patch, my agitation calmed down. After thinking it over, it should be your pheromone that had an effect on me. I just had someone test it, and other Omegas’ pheromones didn’t work on me. According to our terminology, pheromones are called ‘spiritual consciousness’.”

“Our spiritual consciousness compatibility is very high,” Fu Man said, staring at her.

After listening, Li Yingxue frowned slightly: “According to what you just said, a high degree of spiritual consciousness compatibility, in our terms, means a high pheromone match. You just mentioned a violent surge of energy?”

Fu Man: “Yes, what’s up?”

Li Yingxue: “Sounds like a characteristic of an Alpha.”

Fu Man’s keen intuition kicked in: “Alpha?”

Li Yingxue found it strange: “You don’t know?”

Fu Man: “You tell me, I really don’t know.”

Li Yingxue: “There are three types of people in this world: Alpha, Beta, and Omega. Omegas are born with defects, prone to heat and easily influenced by Alpha pheromones. Although Alphas are powerful, they are not without flaws; their tendency to go berserk is a defect inherent in their genes.”

Fu Man seemed to be deep in thought: “How do Alphas usually handle this kind of situation?”

Li Yingxue: “Hundreds of years ago, powerful Alphas could control this kind of pheromone riot through mental power, but now basically no Alpha possesses mental power.”

Basically, they are all mediocre individuals, but the Alphas are cunning. They use pheromones to suppress and hinder others’ development, monopolizing various high-tech and advanced industries to gain higher status.

In various industries, the best development for talented Omegas and Betas is before differentiation. Even if their achievements are established before differentiation, if they become Omegas or Betas after differentiation, their achievements merely help them face slightly less discrimination.

Fu Man connected the details, frowning tightly: “Alphas don’t have the mental power to calm their pheromone riot. When their pheromone is disturbed, can they only rely on external forces?”

And this external force—

Fu Man turned to look at Li Yingxue, only to see her red lips calmly parting: “Yes, relying on Omega’s pheromones.”

It’s just like a hungry wolf attacking a dog; as long as you give it food, it will stop attacking.

At this point in the discussion, Fu Man expressed her selfish desire: “Li Yingxue, would you be willing to help me?”

Li Yingxue: “Do you want me to provide you with pheromones?”

Fu Man: “Yes.”

Li Yingxue’s eyes flickered, resting on Fu Man’s eyes, her gaze slowly tracing her outline: “Okay.”

Fu Man’s lips curled up: “Thank you.”

Hot spring underground palace.

Fu Man practiced again, and when she reached that stage, her breath began to become unstable, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

Seeing this, Li Yingxue lifted the pheromone isolation patch, driving her pheromones towards the silver snake in the hot spring.

Fu Man’s breath showed a trend of stabilization, and Li Yingxue was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when, before long, Fu Man erupted again, her snake tail restlessly thrashing in the water.

The water in the hot spring pool was stirred up by her, spilling over and spreading under Li Yingxue’s high heels.

“Fu Man?” Li Yingxue walked over and called out to her, “Are you okay?”

Li Yingxue was just about to approach and pat her on the shoulder, but before she knew it, her wrist was tightly grabbed, and she was pulled into the hot spring.

Li Yingxue hadn’t even reacted yet; she hadn’t even steadied herself in the hot spring.

Her eyes flickered slightly, giving up the struggle, allowing her to absorb her pheromones.

After a long time, the woman behind her slowly came to her senses.

“Li, Li Yingxue…” Fu Man saw her glands turning red again, a flash of annoyance passing by, “Are you okay? Does it hurt?”

“A bit,” Li Yingxue said coldly.

Fu Man quickly blew on it for her, “How about this?”

Li Yingxue felt a chill at the back of her neck, and without saying a word, she said, “Put me down.”

Fu Man only then realized that she was still holding onto Li Yingxue. Because her snake tail was supporting her at the bottom of the pool, she didn’t feel the pool was very deep. But Li Yingxue was different; as soon as she let go, Li Yingxue’s body sank down. Fortunately, she was a good swimmer and quickly steadied herself, swimming towards the shore.

Fu Man stood quietly in the water, watching her step by step ascend the inner wall of the pool, and then calmly descend the outer steps.

“Li Yingxue…”

“I’m fine.” Li Yingxue glanced down at her wet clothes, “I’ll go change first.”

Seeing this situation, Fu Man also lost the desire to continue her cultivation. Although this method could effectively suppress the surge of her energy, it also made her prone to falling into an unclear state, causing her cultivation to be interrupted.

Fu Man tidied herself up, went up to the villa, and opened the door in front of the bedroom, only to find Li Yingxue changing clothes.

A glimpse of a fair back appeared before her eyes, and Fu Man’s breath caught for a moment before she hurriedly closed the door.

Leave a distant “sorry.”

Li Yingxue’s hand paused for a moment, then continued getting dressed. After putting on her clothes, she neatly placed the ones she had changed out of.

After thinking for a moment, she bent down and opened the drawer. This drawer had once been filled with pheromone inhibitors, but now only a few tubes remained just in case.

Li Yingxue reached in, took out a new pheromone isolation patch, walked to the mirror, slightly turned to the side, and brushed back her hair.

When her gaze fell upon the reddened glands, Li Yingxue was momentarily dazed, but then she snapped back to reality, expressionless as she applied the pheromone isolation patch.

She open the door and go out.

Fu Man stood by the railing in the corridor, hesitating before speaking: “Li Yingxue, I feel like I’m taking advantage of you again.”

Li Yingxue: “You’ve seen everything, so why say these things?”

“……”

Fu Man was left speechless.

Li Yingxue asked her, “Did it not succeed?”

Fu Man nodded, “Yes, I easily become unclear-headed and can’t continue my practice at all.”

Li Yingxue felt a bit sympathetic towards her situation, but upon further reflection, she subtly thought it wasn’t such a bad thing.

“What else can you do?”

Fu Man’s gaze fell on Li Yingxue again, “Just now, I suddenly remembered that my great-grandma told me a cultivation method, it might be useful.”

Li Yingxue: “What method?”

Fu Man glanced at her and uttered two words: “Dual cultivation.”

Li Yingxue’s pheromones have an effect on her, but she easily falls into an unclear state. If her pheromones were in her body from the beginning, as soon as there is any sign of agitation, these pheromones would set up a net to nip the agitation in the bud.

“Dual cultivation?” Li Yingxue repeated somewhat unfamiliar, “What is this?”

Now it was Fu Man’s turn to be silent, “……a cultivation technique.”

Li Yingxue: “I know it’s a cultivation technique, but the problem is, do I have to cultivate too?”

Fu Man nodded: “Yes, you will also gain cultivation, but…”

When Li Yingxue heard that she would also gain cultivation, her eyes flickered, and a trace of barely perceptible hope flashed in her gaze.

Can she also practice cultivation? Can she become strong like this woman?

Li Yingxue suppressed her thoughts and asked her, “Do you mean that after I cultivate, I can also use spiritual power to perform other spells?”

Fu Man: “Yes, generally in dual cultivation, the other party will also benefit. If you don’t understand something, I can guide you.”

Li Yingxue’s expression became serious: “Are you serious?”

Fu Man: “Really.”

Li Yingxue knew in her heart that she was almost certain about cultivating with her, but she still wanted to clarify: “What were you about to say just now? What was it?”
