Chapter 87 The Spy from Mount Myōboku Has Arrived
Looking at the "high-class cuisine" in front of him, Bai Mo was reminded of some unpleasant memories.
I once went to a Michelin three-star kaiseki restaurant, and the taste... well, if you're just looking to experience the culture, you might as well go for West Lake Fish in Vinegar Sauce.
These so-called exquisite dishes in front of you would be better replaced with curry and barbecue, or even Naruto's favorite ramen.
However, this is not entirely Ryuji-dong's fault. After all, they are not human. At most, they eat people, so they don't know much about them.
Being able to conjure up the food that these famous officials and wealthy merchants usually eat is already considered a great effort.
"Trial participant, this ingredient is extremely precious. Eat it, eat it!"
Tianxin Shenji stood behind Bai Mo, holding a plate. Seeing that Bai Mo was not moving, she felt a little strange and urged him to hurry up.
Hearing this urging voice gave Bai Mo a sense of déjà vu.
It felt like the other person was about to snap, slamming their hand on the table and yelling, "Damn it, why aren't you eating! You're not going to live if you don't eat!"
Don't be fooled by their friendly way of calling them "Trialists," but to them, the words "Trialists" are no different from "Dinner's ready."
Failure in the Ryuchi Cave trial means being eaten.
Currently, only Orochimaru and the future Kabuto Yakushi are known to have passed the test.
Orochimaru passed the test, but his body couldn't withstand the Sage Mode.
As for Boruto and his group, did they pass as well?
Bai Mo is more inclined to believe that the White Snake Immortal was afraid that his family members would come and cause trouble, so he deliberately lowered the difficulty for the Three Goddesses.
Otherwise, the trials at Ryūchi Cave would be too ridiculous.
There was even a tangram puzzle activity; someone unfamiliar with the program might mistake it for early childhood education.
"Excuse me, when you eat people, do you chew them up or swallow them whole?"
Bai Mo asked a question.
"Of course, we swallowed them whole."
Princess Tianxin was wondering why Bai Mo hadn't reacted at all. Upon hearing this question, she subconsciously answered.
The room fell into a deathly silence.
Princess Tianxin realized what she had said, and her face gradually darkened, her originally beautiful appearance beginning to show signs of a snake.
Since we've been exposed, let's just get straight to it...
"Oh, so it seems Jiraiya was telling the truth."
Bai Mo pulled an illustrated novel out of his pocket.
Jiraiya?
Princess Tianxin frowned. This name seemed to be the name of a contractor from the neighboring Mount Myōboku.
This person in front of me is connected to the dead toad and dares to come to Ryuchi Cave? Isn't that courting death?
Thinking of this, Tianxin Shenji opened her blood-red maw, revealing sharp fangs, and her entire face twisted violently.
Huh?
Just as Tianxin Shenji was about to swallow Bai Mo, her gaze fell on the cover of "Jiraiya's Works" in Bai Mo's hand.
The cover features a humanoid monster with a face just as terrifying as hers now.
But what made her uncomfortable, and even somewhat frightened, was that the humanoid monster was being "rammed by a dragon".
What is this thing?!
Are the toads in the Dragon Cave of Mount Myoboku next door making yellow peaches?
Princess Tianxin was so frightened that her face instantly returned to a human form.
Tianxin Shenji looked at the book title—Pale Iris.
"After receiving your approval, Ryuchi-dong has a unique perspective on these storylines."
As Bai Mo spoke, he began to turn the pages of the book.
As it is an illustrated novel, it is filled with vivid and lifelike illustrations.
These drawings were utterly shocking to Princess Tashin.
There was a monster with a human head and a snake's body, who looked very similar to her, and then...
Looking further, Princess Tianxin noticed that the people in the paintings became increasingly excited as they faced the strangest of the monster girls.
These images, which challenged the conventional understanding of snake life, made Shinki's head spin.
"What did you mean when you asked me whether to swallow it whole or chew it up?"
After regaining her composure, Princess Tianxin thought of the question Bai Mo had asked at the beginning.
"Oh, look at this. Jiraiya said in the novel that the snake girl in Ryuchi Cave would devour human 'milk'."
I didn't believe it when I saw it, but now I realize how ignorant I was. You, as a local of Yongji-dong, have given a positive answer.
"Nonsense! When did I ever say that for sure!"
Princess Tianxin looked disgusted.
"Didn't you say you could swallow a person whole? So you swallowed the milk too? Or have you only ever eaten women?"
"I……"
Is this an angle even possible?
Tianxin Shenji's face froze, her mind completely blank.
"By the way, I've heard some biological facts about snakes. Is it the same in Ryuchi-dong?"
Bai Mo was still asking questions with an "eager thirst for knowledge".
"Um, trial participant, I have something to attend to, I'll be going now..."
Princess Tianxin took two steps back, preparing to retreat.
"You can't leave."
Bai Mo suddenly turned around and grabbed Tian Xin Shen Ji's arm.
"Let go...let me go!"
Tianxin Shenji subconsciously wanted to say "How dare you!" and then conjure up a frightening snake face to scare Bai Mo, but then she thought of the scene she had just witnessed and was afraid that Bai Mo would be even more excited after seeing her change of expression, so she quickly changed her words.
Of course, the most important point is that the moment Bai Mo grabbed her, she immediately felt the strong force in Bai Mo's hand and the powerful natural energy flowing through his body.
If the other party really wanted to force something, she might not be able to resist on her own.
"If you leave, who will I go to? What about the trial?"
Bai Mo spoke.
"The trial, oh right, the trial is about to start. I'll go get someone. Let me go first..."
"Shout it right here."
Bai Mo stood up and took a step forward.
"..."
"Help!!!!"
In the thick fog outside the conjured palace, the three goddesses of Ryuchi Cave, Ichikishima-hime in her loli form and Takitsu-hime in her maiden form, heard Takoshi-hime's screams for help.
"Heh, she's quite the actress. Could it be that the trial participants have been aroused not only by her appetite but also by her lust?"
"That's strange. Playing the victim and acting weak, isn't that your specialty?"
"Who knows?"
The two chatted, completely ignoring Princess Tianxin's pleas for help.
While the two were waiting for Tianxin Shenji to finish her trial, and for the trial participants to pass so that it would be their turn, Tianxin Shenji, out of fear, directly led Bai Mo to the White Snake Immortal's residence.
Bai Mo's words, "You're a snake in disguise, are those clothes shed skin? Come on, listen to me, let me see," startled her.
Tianxin Shenji said she could directly help him pass the test and meet the White Snake Immortal, on the condition that Bai Mo hand over the book to her.
Bai Mo agreed, and not only gave her the book "Pale Belamcanda", but also gave her an extra copy, "Xu Xian, the Grass Python Hero" written by "Jiraiya".
The White Snake Immortal transformed into an old woman, who was half-lying on the bed.
Seeing Tianxin Shenji arrive with Bai Mo, she frowned: "Why is it only you who came?"
"Lord White Snake, please save me! This man is a spy sent by Mount Myōboku! He... he's a beast!"
Tianxin Shenji cried out and rushed over.
"We are beasts too."
The White Snake Immortal said casually, turning his gaze to Bai Mo, "And can't you sense his aura?"
