Reincarnation and life after death have always been well-known urban legends. As for whether or not this myth was true, it had yet to be proved.
A white egg suddenly shattered, releasing a tiny white snake somewhere deep beneath the million-kilometer mountain of the East Continent. This little white snake seemed perplexed as it peered around.
Wasn’t she a human just now? Scratch that. Wasn’t she already dead? Why was she a snake now, and what was she doing here?
These thoughts plagued the little snake's mind briefly before hunger made her dispel them. After all, she was alive. Human or animal, the most important thing was food!
From living a luxurious life to eating raw meat and drinking fresh blood, she didn't feel any discomfort because her instincts told her that if she didn't eat, she would die. Thus, this human-turned-snake established a routine of eating, hunting, and resting as she grew stronger and bigger, her memories having become hazy over time.
Nothing seemed to have changed from her usual routine however, the small white snake who only worried about feeding and becoming stronger was suddenly a fearsome snake that terrorized the mountains and pondered how to evolve into a human.
Would this snake ever become the human it was before, or would it continue to live the routine life of eating, killing sleeping till it passes on in this new life?
Good story, has that elegant feeling of Chinese Cultivation
Story is pretty good and well written for the most part. Really has that Xianxia feeling. It gives a relaxed meditative feeling throughout. The feeling of going through life relaxed and calm, while being ready to react with extreme violence at any time.
It could use a better editor though. I'm not sure if this was translated from another language or what, but there were a lot of times when the book would use the wrong pronouns. This caused some confusion at first. It was like, the woman was getting angry and then he yelled at him. I was like, who yelled? What? But once you know that the pronouns are often wrong, you can easily figure out what they are supposed to be. It wasn't a big deal.
This is no doubt a xianxia with a straightforward female lead. My biggest gripe is this feels like a straight pull from a webnovel site. The names of things change spontaneously, and pronouns are all over. This is more noticeable in later books. When trying to identify certain characters, they will constantly change gender between sentences. It's enjoyable if you like the concept but very, very slow paced story development.
