Liu Hongluan falsely accused the protagonist of stealing her child, claiming the baby now known as Dumpling was hers. Dumpling, however, vehemently rejected the claim, calling Liu Hongluan "ugly." Qing Li, amused by Dumpling's response, took Liu Hongluan into her custody. Rumors spread through the Snake Sect about Dumpling's scales, though most still believed the protagonist was his mother. Later, Chang Hao reported an outsider at the mountain gate.

While practicing hand seals with Dumpling, my golden exorcism medal wasn't quite aligned correctly.

Little Dumpling, adopting a stern expression, meticulously adjusted my fingers with his own small hands.

A faint golden radiance began to emanate from my fingernails.

I must concede that the little one possesses an extraordinary talent for Mysterious Arts, much like his father. Despite my prolonged efforts, I haven't attained the same proficiency as Little Dumpling. Still, there's no shame in seeking guidance from someone younger. After all, he is my biological son; his intelligence is a clear testament to the superior genes inherited from both his father and me.

Upon hearing Chang Hao's description, a thought struck me, and I looked up, inquiring, "A peculiar individual? That person... are they male or female?"

Beichen is quite withdrawn, and the only member of the Snake Sect who would likely accompany him is Xiao Li. Being characterized as highly unusual by Chang Hao suggests it's unlikely to be Xiao Li.

"Neither male nor female!" Chang Hao declared with firm emphasis.

This revelation immediately prompted me to surmise the identity of the person with Beichen, "A long-haired individual in a white dress?"

"No, that's not quite it. They do have long white hair and a white dress, but they are male," Chang Hao elaborated, sporting an expression that sent shivers down my spine.

Realization dawned upon me, and I grew cautious. "Do not bring both of them into the sect. I will meet him outside. As for Dumpling..."

"Mama!" Dumpling exclaimed, his face contorting into a tight frown upon realizing I intended to leave him behind.

My heart immediately softened, and I couldn't bring myself to leave him in Chang Hao's care.

Gently ruffling Dumpling's soft, furry head, I murmured words of comfort to the little one, "Alright, you can come with me to meet our Brother Chenn. You haven't seen him since you were born, have you?"

Little Dumpling, ever so quiet, gave a slight nod against my shoulder, confirming my statement.

Chang Hao accompanied me to the sect's entrance, where Beichen stood beneath a verdant pine tree, accompanied by a stunning figure in a white dress.

"Is this me and your daughter? She bears a striking resemblance to me," the beautiful individual, displaying a pure white snake tail, inquired as they approached, attempting to flatter themselves.

Witnessing Dumpling's wide, frightened eyes, veins throbbed on my forehead. "In what way does she resemble you? Are you blind?? And for the record, he's a boy!"

"Such a handsome boy??" The beautiful individual, clearly oblivious to their own initial insult, scoffed, "Hmph, he'll surely grow up to be effeminate. Boys ought to have a more rugged appearance."

Disregarding this narcissistic being, I held Dumpling close and approached Beichen. "Why have you come looking for me with this person? Has something occurred at home?"

"I didn't bring him; he insisted on accompanying me." Beichen's expression was as stern as ice. "Something has indeed happened at home."

After a moment's deliberation, I formed a preliminary conclusion, "Could it be that something has befallen Xiao Li?"

"Yes, Xiao Li has been kidnapped," Beichen stated, his fists clenched, exuding an aura of intense cold.

I was taken aback. "With you protecting her, and... and that fellow Wuyue nearby, how could this have happened??"

"We went to Z City for a proposal and betrothal ceremony, but Xiao Li was forcibly placed into a large red bridal sedan chair." Beichen's icy gaze flickered ominously towards Wuyue. "As for him, it's fortunate if he isn't exacerbating the situation."

"Living Dead, do not lay false accusations upon me. That infernal spirit is infused with the Azarhan Sutra, Lotus Sutra, Shurangama Sutra, Diamond Sutra, and numerous other scriptures. The moment he draws near, my powers become nullified," Wuyue retorted sharply, looking down at Beichen and covering his lips with a pale hand after enumerating the sacred texts.

This admission inadvertently revealed his vulnerability; it turned out the ancient nemesis of Human Snakes were sacred texts imbued with divine power.

From Wuyue's statement, I grasped the crucial detail and frowned deeply. "Infernal spirit? Is that individual named Piao Changji, clad in a crimson official robe, and possessing an exceedingly sleazy appearance?"
