Invincible Snake Emperor-Chapter 212 - 208: Mutual Suspicions Between Man and Snake

Wen Qiu was being honest. The appearance of the House Snake had indeed brought a glimmer of life to their dilapidated home, and even her lung cancer had been miraculously cured.

Wen Qiu naturally attributed all of this to the good luck brought by the House Snake.

A House Snake coils to bring blessings and gather wealth. If the House Snake leaves, the family falls; if the House Snake stays, the family thrives.

Now, Wen Qiu believed this saying without a shadow of a doubt.

It was just that the House Snake had become increasingly elusive; sometimes, she couldn't even catch a glimpse of it when she wanted to.

"House Snake?"

Chen Mo muttered the words to himself and sank into deep thought, his mind racing. He then carefully surveyed the home, but finally retracted his gaze in disappointment.

"Dr. Chen, is there a problem?"

Chen Mo said, "No, I'm just curious what the House Snake looks like."

Wen Qiu teased lightly, "Dr. Chen, is there any snake in this world you haven't seen?"

The two began to chat, but Chen Mo was distracted.

Because a dense aura of the Snake Race lingered in this home. And it didn't belong to an ordinary snake, but was left behind by an Awakened Snake Species.

The aura lingered without dissipating, something only a Human Awakened could keenly detect.

What shocked Chen Mo the most was that this aura of the Snake Race felt incredibly familiar. It was left by the same Silver White Snake that had escaped from his grasp.

After that snake escaped from the Shanye Group, Chen Mo hadn't deliberately searched for it. He never expected it to appear in this house.

'Could it be that the snake has some designs on this family?'

A snake that had gained sentience and Awakened was extremely intelligent. It wouldn't do something for no reason. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

With only a woman and her daughter left in his old friend's home, Chen Mo didn't want any harm to come to them.

Even though he was a cripple now, he had to do what he could.

Outside the Tu Family Courtyard, Tu Xiao'an's gaze was profound. There was a guest at home, and that guest was none other than Dr. Snake, Chen Mo.

'Why would he come to my home?'

'Could it be that the aura of the Snake Race I left at the Snake King Temple led him here?'

'This guy is like a persistent ghost. He actually found his way to my home.'

'Don't tell me he wants to capture me again?'

Tu Xiao'an wore a scornful expression. It wasn't that he was arrogant, but with his current Level and strength, he wouldn't even be afraid of a Rank Three Creature.

Even though Chen Mo was a Human Awakened, he couldn't even handle a Vampire Snake later on and had lost both his legs. How could he possibly deal with him?

To put it bluntly, he didn't give a damn about some Human Awakened now.

He'd just killed one a moment ago.

'It seems I have to settle things with this person today. Otherwise, if he sets his sights on my family and does something to harm my mom and sister, it'll be too late for regrets.'

Tu Xiao'an was now hesitating. Should he meet Chen Mo in this human form, or in his true form?

'Forget it, I'll just go like this. If I revert to my original form, it'll be a waste of a million Faith Points.'

'If this Chen Mo tries anything, I'll kill him without mercy. I won't let him become a threat to my family.'

Tu Xiao'an made up his mind.

Meanwhile, inside the house, Chen Mo was relentlessly questioning Wen Qiu about the House Snake's appearance, when it had shown up, and whether it had displayed any unusual behavior.

This left Wen Qiu completely baffled.

'She knew Dr. Chen used to be a Snake Catcher. Could it be that he's interested in our family's House Snake and wants to capture it?'

'No way. This House Snake is very spiritual and brings good luck to the family.'

"Dr. Chen, thank you for coming to see Old Tu. Look, it's getting very late, so I won't keep you. Please take this bank card with you as well."

With that thought, Wen Qiu asked him to leave.

"Sister Qiu, the origin of your family's snake is unknown. I just want to figure it out," Chen Mo quickly explained.

But just then, a powerful aura of the Snake Race swept over, and he instantly felt it.

"Dr. Snake, care to meet outside?"

An icy voice sounded in Chen Mo's mind.

'Is it that snake?'

"In that case, Sister Qiu, I won't disturb you any longer."

Chen Mo immediately turned his wheelchair and started to leave. Wen Qiu watched with a complicated expression, wondering if she had been too harsh just now.

'Who just kicks a guest out like that?' She looked down and saw he hadn't taken the bank card.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Chen Mo was in a wheelchair; he left quickly. In just a moment, he was out the door and had vanished into the night.

Wen Qiu wanted to chase after him, but he was already gone without a trace.

A few hundred meters away, under a streetlight, Chen Mo sat in his wheelchair and looked at the refined-looking young man across from him, his expression complex and unreadable. "You really are something else. You're not human."

"It's been a while, Doctor. I should thank you for your Giant Snake Gene. It greatly increased my strength," Tu Xiao'an said lightly.

Chen Mo was stunned. The image of the Silver White Snake instantly flashed through his mind.

"You're that snake?"

Chen Mo was shocked. 'How is this possible? The Silver White Snake has taken human form?'

He knew that the silver-white one was extraordinary, with a bloodline superior even to the Vampire Snake. It was also the only Snake Species to have ever escaped from him alive. But how much time had passed?

'The Silver White Snake has already succeeded in its Cultivation? And taken human form?'

'Doesn't that make it the king of the Snake Race?'

In truth, Chen Mo hadn't connected Tu Xiao'an with the Silver White Snake. It was just that when he saw him at the Snake King Temple, the young man was brimming with the aura of the Snake Race, which he found unusual.

But even with his Eyes of Golden Flame, he found it hard to connect the Silver White Snake with the young man.

After only a few months, the snake he had so easily captured had become a Snake Demon.

A herd of ten thousand alpacas stampeded through Chen Mo's mind.

Tu Xiao'an found it amusing to watch Chen Mo's colorful expression, which shifted unpredictably from pale to livid.

"What are you doing at the Tu Family's home?"

"What's your purpose for going to that house?"

After a moment of silence, the two suddenly spoke at almost the same time, their eyes locked on each other with extreme vigilance, as if guarding against a thief.

Tu Xiao'an was taken aback, and Chen Mo was equally astonished.

"The House Snake… that's you?" Chen Mo asked after a moment of thought.

Tu Xiao'an was surprised. 'He even knows that?'

"That's right. I'm the House Snake of that family," Tu Xiao'an said, looking at him. "So why did you show up at the Tu Family home tonight? Weren't you specifically looking for me?"

Chen Mo shook his head. "I didn't know you would be at the Tu Family home. I was visiting an old friend."

'An old friend?'

Tu Xiao'an quickly asked, "An old friend of whom?"

"Tu Zheng."

At these words, Tu Xiao'an was even more dumbfounded. 'This Dr. Snake was my dad's friend when he was alive?'

'Does it have to be this dramatic?' He found it a little hard to accept. "Is what you're saying true?"

Chen Mo nodded and asked in return, "Why did you become the Tu Family's House Snake? What is your purpose?"

"A House Snake, naturally, guards the home," Tu Xiao'an replied coolly.

Chen Mo suddenly seemed to realize something, his eyes widening slowly. "Could you be the peerless Snake Species that Brother Tu was cultivating?"
