The green snake spirit twisted her slender waist, gave a strange laugh, and said sarcastically, "Sister, you finally remember me at this time. What do you need from your younger sister?"
The snake spirit also reverted to her original form. Looking at the eerie green snake spirit, she initially felt a pang of pity, but upon seeing her like this, she immediately forgot all about it and replied with a smile, "Of course, there's good news for you, little sister!"
"What good news?" The Green Snake Spirit was also curious. What could have made the snake spirit come back to her after their falling out?
At this moment, Xu Le also arrived. He looked at the snake spirit with a strange smile, then clasped his hands in a salute to the green snake spirit who had just arrived, and walked straight to the scorpion spirit's side.
The green snake spirit's pupils narrowed, and although there was a human in her sister's cave, she was somewhat curious.
However, he had important matters to discuss today, so the Green Snake Demon had no interest in listening to or inquiring about this human. He looked at the Snake Demon with a puzzled expression, wanting her to give an explanation, while the Scorpion Demon beside him was completely ignored by him.
The scorpion demon was a little embarrassed by being ignored, but she wasn't angry. She ordered the little monsters in the cave to leave, leaving only the four of them.
A glint of light flashed in Xu Le's brown pupils as he quietly opened his Heavenly Eye and began to examine the Green Snake Spirit's body.
In the gray and white world, a dazzling seven-colored divine light flashed on the lower abdomen of the Green Snake Demon. Compared to her, the snake demon's seven-colored divine light was like the difference between a firefly and the sun.
This immense temptation almost made Xu Le lose control and want to directly suppress them and absorb the Seven-Colored Divine Light to repair his foundation. However, remembering the Calabash Brothers' hidden conspiracy, he refrained from acting. After all, maximizing profits was in line with his style. Now that he had learned so many secrets, his goal was not just to repair his foundation, but also...
The snake spirit twisted her waist, her body supple as if boneless, and whispered, "Does my sister know about the Seven Hearts Pill?"
"Seven-Heart Pill?" The Green Snake Spirit paused for a moment, then replied, "I do know about that. There's a rumor circulating lately that if someone can refine the Seven-Heart Pill, consuming it will grant them immortality, allowing them to live as long as heaven and earth, and shine as brightly as the sun and moon!"
The snake spirit chuckled and said kindly, "I'm doing this so I can share the Seven Star Pill with my sister!"
"Share!" The green snake spirit sneered, clearly not believing that the snake spirit would be so kind. She knew her sister very well; she was selfish and jealous, how could she possibly share such a treasure with her?
The snake spirit blushed, but still explained, "Sister, we are, after all, the last of our bloodline. How can we continue our lineage if we don't take care of each other? How can we face our parents..."
As she spoke, the snake spirit covered her face and sobbed. Every word touched the green snake spirit's soft spot, and she remembered the happy days when the two sisters were together. Her heart softened, and her tone became much gentler: "Then why did you come to find me, sister?"
"Waaaaah~"
Tears streamed down the snake spirit's face, which she had been covering with her hands, but her expression showed no sadness; instead, she revealed a cold smile.
Xu Le watched the scene with great interest from behind. It has to be said that women are natural actors; tears can come on their own, let alone the snake spirit, an old woman who has lived for more than 10,000 years.
The snake spirit slowly stopped sobbing, revealing her beautiful face streaked with tears, and said softly, "The ingredients for this Seven Hearts Pill are seven Calabash Brothers with supernatural powers. Although they are young, they are very strong. If it weren't for my help yesterday, your brother-in-law would have been seriously injured..."
"What a brilliant idea!" The Green Snake Demon finally understood. It turned out that her selfish older sister hadn't changed at all. She wanted her to fight against these Calabash Brothers so that they could reap the benefits.
Seeing the increasingly dangerous look in her younger sister's eyes, the snake spirit knew that her once innocent sister had been a demon king for so long and was not easily fooled. So she quickly explained, "Of course, I wouldn't harm you. The three of us worked together to subdue them. After I refine the Seven Hearts Pill, we will share it with you."
Upon hearing this, the Green Snake Demon's expression softened considerably, and she asked again, "What supernatural powers do these seven Calabash Brothers possess?"
Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent. The snake demon stammered, unable to speak, while the scorpion demon scratched his head, completely baffled.
Xu Le shook his head, stepped forward and said, "I have some knowledge of divination and have already figured it out."
"Please speak, sir!" The scorpion demon was overjoyed, finding Xu Le increasingly pleasing to the eye, and thought to herself: Once the Seven Star Pill is refined, I'll give you a quick death!
When the Green Snake Demon heard that Xu Le was skilled in divination, her eyes became noticeably more attentive. She also understood why her sister kept him by her side. A person with such an ability was simply a treasure!
Xu Le looked at the green scorpion demon above his head. Although it was well concealed, Xu Le still saw the hidden killing intent. Pretending to be unaware, he said, "The eldest brother is incredibly strong and can change his size. The second brother has eyes that can see a thousand miles and ears that can hear the wind. Basically, nothing can escape his notice. The third brother has a copper head and iron arms and is invulnerable to swords and spears. The fourth brother breathes fire, the fifth brother spits water, and the sixth brother can become invisible. As for the seventh brother, I don't know. His abilities seem to be covered by something. My deduction skills are still not good enough..."
Xu Le sighed in a pretentious manner. He was now slightly skilled in divination, and if he could predict everything, it would inevitably arouse the Scorpion Demon's suspicion. Therefore, he deliberately did not reveal the Seventh Brother's abilities, and at the same time, he wanted to secretly seize the gourd that represented spatial supernatural power.
That gourd is most likely...

Chapter 159: Making a Move
Remember me in one second! Fast updates, free to read!
Based on the animation, its abilities are similar to the Purple Gold Gourd, but not as powerful; it's more like a degraded copy.
The scorpion demon lowered its ferocious head, seemingly deep in thought, while the green snake demon beside it also looked rather grim. Each of the six known supernatural powers was difficult to deal with on its own, not to mention the seventh supernatural power, which could even be blocked by the art of deduction.
Although somewhat disappointed, the scorpion demon breathed a sigh of relief. After all, his attitude towards Xu Le was to use him and then eat him. If Xu Le could calculate everything, he would also be able to know his thoughts. Therefore, the limitation of Xu Le's abilities actually put his mind at ease.
Xu Le knew what the scorpion demon was thinking, but he still pretended to be unaware. His face was pale and his steps were unsteady. Fine beads of sweat dripped from his forehead onto the ground.
The Green Snake Demon watched as Xu Le found a chair and sat down to meditate. Her greed for the divination technique lessened considerably. After all, every use of this ability came at a price. Judging from Xu Le's appearance, she could tell that he had expended a great deal of energy. She wondered if his lifespan had been depleted.
The snake spirit took out the magic mirror, chanted a spell, and the mirror appeared like a television. The image on the mirror was of a cliff with an old house on it. There were people next to the house, and six gourds were growing on a gourd vine. Each gourd was a different color and had a human-like face on it. They were shaking incessantly.
This scene is extremely bizarre. There are human faces growing on the six gourds. Although they look the same in the animation, they look extremely strange in reality. Can you imagine what it would feel like to have a human face on an object and call you grandpa? A toilet with a human face calling you dad... that feeling is chilling. I don't know how the old man accepted the idea of them being his grandsons.
Could the old man have some kind of weird taste?
Although Xu Le had seen the seven Calabash Brothers before, his attention was focused on the old man at the time, so he didn't pay much attention to them. Now, seeing how terrifying these guys looked, he couldn't help but think of some memes on the internet.
The monsters didn't feel anything unusual. They had seen many monsters that were even more terrifying and bizarre than themselves, so instead of being surprised, they were actually quite delighted.
“They are not yet fully formed. Let’s strike while the iron is hot. Since they are not yet fully formed, their supernatural powers must be diminished. Why don’t we capture them now and refine them into Seven Hearts Pills?”
The Green Snake Demon suggested that since this was the real world, there was no room for too many brainless ideas. Having been the Demon King for so many years, the Green Snake Demon was quite cunning. It would be foolish not to make a move now that the enemy was weak, but to wait until they grew stronger.
The snake spirit and scorpion spirit nodded in agreement. The three demons transformed into a whirlwind and swept away, taking with them a group of smaller demons from the cave, just in case, and also to bolster their strength.
Xu Le was naturally left behind, but he didn't care. He used his telekinesis to knock the old man unconscious and began to do some tricks. Although he didn't know who this guy was, since it was difficult to kill him, he might as well take precautions in advance.
A black, demonic wind swept across the once azure sky, and countless bat demons covered the sky. On the ground, a large number of scorpion demons and toad demons also roamed. With all the demons going to war, all ordinary creatures retreated, fearing that they would run into their blades.
