Chapter 179 The Cold and Aloof Immortal's Darkened Daoist Partner 28
It's highly unlikely that he would transform into a dragon on his own.
So Zong Yunze picked up the black snake, intending to make it transform into a dragon quickly so that Yun Qing could have some fun with it, and then he would throw it out to train.
This is a real hardship for the black snake.
Although progress is rapid, it's really driving me crazy.
Jealous men are truly terrifying; why subject them to such human suffering?
On the cold, snowy peak, the black snake, under the strict discipline of its master, had no choice but to begin its solitary and miserable cultivation.
Then the stern master turned to the other side and gently instructed his wife, occasionally touching her hand, hugging her waist, and speaking softly and encouragingly.
This contrast makes it appear particularly desolate.
However, Wen Li was quite envious of it.
Taking advantage of his master and mistress being busy with "other matters," the black snake finally seized the opportunity to rest.
Wen Li also took the opportunity to stroll over, "Little Black, it seems that Master really likes you. He's been keeping you by his side and personally teaching you all this time."
The black snake's horns remained unchanged, still two bulges, and apart from that, it looked no different from a snake. However, it could now speak, its voice childlike and slightly aggrieved:
“My master doesn’t like me at all; he wishes I would just disappear.”
Upon hearing this, Wen Li exclaimed in surprise, "Really? If that were the case, why would Master keep you by his side and not mind at all that you disturb his and Master's wife's time alone?"
Because Xiao He and Wen Li were both talented and sensible, Zong Yunze didn't need to worry too much about these two disciples. He had never had them by his side like this before, constantly encouraging and teaching them.
Therefore, in Wen Li's view, Black Snake, this nominal disciple, was even more favored than his fellow disciples.
Moreover, his senior brother said that Master only wanted some time alone with his wife and didn't want to be disturbed. He told him to be smart and not to cause trouble, so he didn't dare to bother Master and his wife.
But Master doesn't mind having a black snake by his side. Isn't that favoritism?
The black snake lowered its head and said, "Master just wants me to transform into a dragon as soon as possible. I estimate that after I transform into a dragon, I should disappear from Falling Snow Peak."
Wen Li's eyes widened. "You mean Master wants to send you away? Why?"
The black snake said mournfully, "Because my master's wife likes dragons."
"what?"
Wen Li was somewhat puzzled. She frowned and thought for a while before exclaiming in shock, "You mean it's because your master's wife likes dragons that your master is jealous and wants to send you away?"
The black snake nodded listlessly.
Wen Li looked incredulous. "How could Master be so...so unreliable?"
The black snake glanced at him. "How could I not?"
Wen Li was still somewhat confused, "Since Master is so concerned, why did he bring you back to Falling Snow Peak? And now he's going to such lengths to help you transform into a dragon as soon as possible?"
The black snake sighed softly, "Because my master's wife likes dragons."
Wen Li: ...I don't quite understand.
Black Snake sighed, looked at Wen Li, and said in a childish voice but with a mature tone, "Senior brother, as an experienced snake, let me give you a piece of advice: never let Master think that Master's wife likes you, or you will be in big trouble!"
Wen Li hesitated and said, "Since she is both my master's wife and my uncle, no matter how you look at it, she is an elder. Would Master mind if an elder showed affection to a junior?"
The black snake circled in front of him. "Look at me, I'm not even human!"
Wen Li: ...
No, we can't talk like this anymore; the image of his master in his heart is about to collapse.
Wen Li hurriedly took his leave, and the black snake sighed again, then consciously went back to cultivating.
Otherwise, when the master returns and finds that it hasn't made any progress, he will definitely be even more strict with it, regardless of its life or death.
However, despite its seemingly complaining attitude, it doesn't actually resent Zong Yunze's strictness.
If a snake like it could transform into a dragon, it would be a complete metamorphosis.
However, it is not so simple for a snake to transform into a dragon. It is not enough to just work hard and cultivate; it also requires a special opportunity.
Opportunity is the most elusive thing. Don't be fooled by the two bumps on its head; they only indicate the possibility of transforming into a dragon. Since it hasn't directly transformed into a dragon, everything is still unknown.
Although the black snake is still just a child, it is very clever.
It knew that being able to become Zong Yunze's disciple was its greatest opportunity.
Now that its master is so concerned about its transformation into a dragon, it's only a matter of time before it undergoes a complete metamorphosis.

Despite the changing seasons, Snowfall Peak remains perpetually covered in snow.
After Lin Yao'er was expelled from the sect, Xiao He no longer had to be furious. The entire Luoxue Peak returned to its former tranquility, but it was different from before.
Strangely enough, just having my master's wife around makes everything seem different.
Despite the perennial snow and cold weather, it didn't feel desolate or lonely at all; instead, it had a sense of peaceful tranquility.
Yun Qing quite liked the snow-covered peaks and the silvery-white scenery. She didn't feel cold or lonely; on the contrary, she found it beautiful as if it were a dream.
When she has free time, she likes to make an ice sculpture or build a snowman.
However, because Zong Yunze is a jealous person, whether it's an ice sculpture or a snowman, it's either Zong Yunze or herself, no one else.
When she's happy, the ice sculptures and snowmen will be a pair, making Zong Yunze happy too.
When he's annoyed, he'll put on a cool and aloof expression and create a separate ice sculpture or snowman of Zong Yunze.
Of course, not the normal versions, but some strange and unusual ones.
For example, the chubby version, the baby-faced version, the big-headed version, the short-legged version, the crying version, the grinning version...
If you say it's ugly, it actually looks quite cute; but if you say it's good, it really ruins its image.
When Wen Li first saw it, he burst out laughing. Before Xiao He could even save him, Zong Yunze slapped him away with a flick of his sleeve.
Xiao He had no choice but to take his leave, keeping his eyes down and suppressing a laugh as he went to pick up his junior brother.
Even now, when Xiao He thinks about it, he can't help but smile.
With my master's wife around, the whole Luoxue Peak feels more lively.
At this moment, Xiao He was looking up at the rolling thunderclouds overhead.
Wen Li flew over, grabbed his arm, and said excitedly, "Senior brother, hurry! Junior brother is about to transform into a dragon! Let's go and see, I've never seen a dragon transformation before!"
Xiao He thought that going to join in the fun at this time wouldn't disturb his master and mistress, so he didn't stop Wen Li and went with him.
In fact, Xiao He had never witnessed a snake transforming into a dragon, since such a transformation was already quite rare.
When Xiao He and Wen Li arrived, the first lightning bolt had already struck. After exchanging greetings with their master and mistress, they stood aside and watched from a distance.
They weren't too worried about the black snake; with their master personally guarding it, nothing bad would happen.
Zong Yunze held Yun Qing's hand and comforted her, saying, "Don't worry."
Yun Qing looked at him with a puzzled expression. "I'm not worried."
As a cultivator, I have seen many lightning tribulations. The Flowing Cloud Immortal Sect alone has been subjected to lightning tribulations of all sizes every few days.
Yun Qing remained calm as she watched the dragon-transformation tribulation, though she was a little curious about what the black snake would look like after transforming into a dragon.
