Invincible Snake Emperor

Chapter 650: Chapter 612: Clone Secret Technique

’Does this mean these two are having an affair?’

’Bah. They must have some kind of unspeakable relationship.’

Collusion between humans and demons was nothing new in this world.

But for a director of the Demon Management Bureau to be standing with the King of the Snake Clan, the scene just didn’t look right.

Everyone knew that humans despised demons, especially a major figure like Wu Tianyi.

The Yellow Demon King’s eyes darted between Wu Tianyi and Tu Xiao’an, a strange smile on his face, as if he had just discovered some earth-shattering secret.

But suddenly, the Yellow Demon King’s expression soured. If this human and this snake were in cahoots, it wouldn’t benefit him or the Six-eyed Golden Lion in the slightest.

Abruptly, the Yellow Demon King shot Tu Xiao’an a friendly smile. He was about to speak but wasn’t sure what to call him. ’The new Snake King?’

’That’s not much of an honorific title.’ ’Whatever, I’ll just call him something.’ ”Snake Demon King, you’ve come just in time! Help me rescue the Six-eyed Golden Lion!”

’Snake Demon King?’

Tu Xiao’an was utterly baffled. ’Seriously? If you’re going to give me a title, couldn’t you put a little more thought into it? Use your brain? Is it really okay to be this random?’

’Speaking of which, the titles of the previous five Great Demon Kings of the Yaoling Mountain Range had absolutely no cultural depth. Demons are just demons, uncultured. With such long lifespans, wouldn’t it hurt to take a few decades to read a book or two?’

”Help you rescue the Six-eyed Golden Lion?” Tu Xiao’an couldn’t be bothered to argue about his new title. Instead, his gaze fell upon the small iron cage in the Yellow Demon King’s hand.

A moment ago, the Yellow Demon King had been enthusiastically tearing at the iron cage, presumably trying to release the Six-eyed Golden Lion inside.

Tu Xiao’an’s pupils contracted. Looking closely, he saw a small beast sitting upright inside the little iron cage. It was covered in golden fur and looked rather cute and silly.

It looked like the kind of small, adorable pet a human might raise.

However, the Golden-haired Little Monster sensed Tu Xiao’an’s gaze, and its small eyes instantly turned blood-red. They were like unsheathed demonic swords, daring anyone to meet their stare.

’What a Six-eyed Golden Lion,’ he thought. ’Its gaze alone is terrifying, and its aura is formidable. Even though it’s cooped up in a tiny iron cage, the consequences would be unimaginable if it were released.’

’Huh... Isn’t it called ”Six-eyed”? I don’t see any extra eyes.’

Tu Xiao’an mused mischievously.

”Snake Demon King, we are all part of the Demon Race, from the Yaoling Mountain Range! You can’t side with the humans and become a traitor to our kind,” the Yellow Demon King said when he got no response.

With one sentence, he had cut off Tu Xiao’an’s options.

Wu Tianyi watched with a cold smirk, saying nothing.

But Tu Xiao’an simply said, ”How do you want me to help you?”

’There’s a chance?’

The Yellow Demon King thought that no matter what, they were both from the Yaoling Mountain Range. Although this new Snake King was hard to read and hadn’t been around for long, his strength was undeniable. Killing the White Demon King in front of everyone was the best proof of that.

With his help, they could definitely rescue the Six-eyed Golden Lion.

”You just need to hold off this human and buy me some time,” the Yellow Demon King said hurriedly.

Tu Xiao’an mocked, ”You mean, buy you time to keep gnawing on the cage?”

Yellow Demon King: ”...”

’Does this guy even know how to talk?’

”I can help you,” Tu Xiao’an said with a smile, ”but what’s in it for me?”

Hearing this, the Yellow Demon King actually smiled. ’Good, he’s asking for a reward. If he had agreed too easily, I’d have been suspicious.’

”Of course there are benefits, great ones! By helping me, you’re also helping the Six-eyed Golden Lion. How about we both owe you a favor?”

”Hey, snake! Cut the crap and get me out of here! I won’t treat you unfairly,” the Golden-haired Little Monster in the cage screeched.

Tu Xiao’an shook his head. ”I don’t want a favor. I’m very interested in that Clone Secret Technique of yours. Teach me the cultivation method for it, and I’ll help you.”

”What?!” The Yellow Demon King was aghast. ’Damn snake! He’s a greedy one, trying to rob me blind while I’m in a crisis!’

’No wonder humans have a saying: a man’s greed is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant.’

”Impossible!” the Yellow Demon King refused instantly. A Clone Secret Technique like this was incredibly precious. He had obtained it only after great difficulty, how could he just hand it over to someone else?

Tu Xiao’an wasn’t disappointed by the flat-out refusal. He just smiled faintly. ”Don’t be so hasty. Aren’t we negotiating? Everything is up for discussion. If you’re really not willing to leave any room for negotiation, well, I could always just help the humans.”

”You bastard! Snake Demon King, are you trying to defect to the humans? Have you forgotten you’re a demon? Haven’t you ever heard of ’Different Paths for Humans and Demons’?” the Yellow Demon King’s voice rose an octave as he shouted.

’Geez, how does everything get twisted back to that phrase, ”Different Paths for Humans and Demons”?’

Tu Xiao’an was genuinely interested in the Yellow Demon King’s Clone Secret Technique. It was basically the same as having an extra, real, independently controlled clone.

And its strength wouldn’t be much weaker, either—at least fifty percent of the original’s.

If he learned this projection technique, he could create a clone to keep his mother company and be a filial son.

And it wouldn’t interfere with his own business. It would kill two birds with one stone. Most importantly, in these chaotic times, having a clone would be incredibly convenient.

”Don’t even think about it! At worst, I just won’t rescue the Six-eyed Golden Lion,” the Yellow Demon King said without hesitation, giving Tu Xiao’an no room to negotiate.

’So decisive?’ Tu Xiao’an was secretly surprised. The more the Yellow Demon King acted this way, the more it proved just how powerful and precious the technique was.

”Snake Demon King, name another price. This Secret Technique of mine comes from an Ancient Rank Four Divine Spirit. Let me put it this way: in the entire world, I am probably the only one who has mastered it.” The Yellow Demon King looked immensely proud and honored as he said this.
