Living With My Lady Boss

Everyone watched quietly, not daring to speak loudly. At this moment, high above Emerald Mountain, Wilbur looked down at the black python below and said, "It seems this is your strongest form. If so, then you have already lost."

The black snake did not respond, only flicking its tongue and keeping a close watch on Wilbur. In the next second, Wilbur flipped his left hand, and the Azure Dragon Spear appeared. He hurled it at the black snake, but to Wilbur's surprise, the black snake retracted its energy, causing the Azure Dragon Spear to lose its form.

The spearhead's force was dissipated by the snake's scales, causing it to slide off without penetrating.

"What?" Wilbur was momentarily stunned. Then he realized the black snake was very cunning. It seemed to have understood that the Azure Dragon Spear utilized the opponent's energy. By retracting its energy, the spear's power was nullified.

However, could simply withdrawing its energy be enough to contend with him?

The massive size of the python meant that its movements would inevitably be slower. In combat, Wilbur could use his speed to evade the python's attacks, ensuring that the snake, despite its strength, could not cause him significant harm.

This fight might take longer, but Wilbur was confident of his victory.

Suddenly, the voice of his master Orkus rang in his mind, 'Wilbur, remember, some enemies won't reveal their true power immediately. Be especially cautious with such foes.'

Just as Wilbur was preparing to be more vigilant, his eyes met the python's gaze. In an instant, a bright light shot from the python's eyes, and Wilbur found himself petrified, unable to move.noveldrama

This... Could it be?

Wilbur's eyes widened. He had encountered a similar situation before when fighting the puppet of the evil god Bahamut. It was the same as back then. A mere glance had frozen him in place. Could this creature have learned the same technique as the evil god Bahamut?

In the next moment, the black snake reared up and opened its massive jaws, lunging at Wilbur. Darkness engulfed him, and when light returned, he found himself inside the snake, sliding down its esophagus.

Although there were no physical restraints like the dark prison, his body was still immobile. He quickly slid into the snake's stomach, where corrosive digestive fluids surged toward him.

Amidst the decomposing remains, Wilbur even saw small fragments of human bones. But as the stomach acids approached, a gray protective shield formed around him, preventing the acid from touching his body. This shield, along with the light shield, kept him safe.

The black snake's stomach churned rapidly, secreting copious amounts of mucus in an attempt to digest Wilbur. However, due to the gray shield, the acid was ineffective.

Eventually, Wilbur was pushed down into the intestines. After about ten minutes, the energy that had immobilized him dissipated, though his body now felt numb as if he was being pricked by a thousand needles.

Despite the discomfort, Wilbur, as a cultivator, had superior resilience. The numbness faded within seconds, but the experience ignited a fierce anger in him. He wished to pierce through the snake's body and escape, killing it in the process.

However, he knew it was not the right moment. The snake's immobilizing attack was likely its strongest move, and Wilbur was curious about how it was performed.

To uncover the secret, he needed to keep the snake alive for now. Wilbur sat cross-legged inside the snake, calming his mind and restoring his spirit energy.

A few hours later, Wilbur exited the snake's body along with its waste. He immediately dove into a pond at the foot of the mountain, cleansing himself of the filth. Emerging from the water with a splash, he leaped into the air.
