Chapter 622

“My Lord, we will be able to reach the temple tomorrow.”

On the second night of their journey, Wen Xin and her companions stopped to rest by a mountain stream.

The male orcs of the White Tiger tribe quickly searched and drove away the wild beasts in and around the mountain stream. Wen Xin also gave them some medicinal powder to sprinkle around the area to repel snakes and insects.

After arranging the orc patrols and guards, Bai Dahu came to report to Wen Xin.

Sitting by the stream, Wen Xin was admiring the waterfall cascading down the low cliff above. Holding a lily in her hand, she was serene and elegant, like a fairy in the mountains.

Bai Dahu lowered his head in admiration and respect, not daring to linger too long to admire the divine messenger's beauty, lest he defile her.

Wen Xin nodded slightly, telling them to go and rest, and that they didn't need to stay with her.

Bai Dahu should have been cautious and retreated.

Little Gold scratched its head with its wing, thinking that these beastmen from the beast world were really quite amazing.

They may seem simple and honest, but when they become fierce and cold-blooded, they can be as ruthless as wild beasts. They may seem vicious, but once they've made up their minds, they can wholeheartedly believe in a person or a god without ever questioning or hesitating.

Every time it saw Bai Dahu and the others in front of their master, it felt as if it were seeing a group of cult followers.

Wen Xin's eyes flickered, and she smiled faintly, "Isn't this better? They will be my best weapons."

Little Gold remained silent; this was the first time it had ever seen its master so indifferent to and exploiting a group of intelligent beings.

But who's to blame?

If those orcs in her previous life had shown even a shred of kindness towards the fragments of her master's soul, she wouldn't have acted this way.

In the stillness of the night, all the orcs in the mountain stream were asleep, even the night watchmen were struggling to keep their eyes open, and drifted off into a deep, uncontrollable sleep.

Wen Xin, who was leaning against the tree trunk, suddenly and slowly opened her eyes, and heard a rustling sound.

Before she could even register her wariness, she was suddenly confronted by a pair of green vertical pupils.

She was startled, but surprisingly, Wen Xin didn't feel much fear or nervousness.

Perhaps it was because the pair of green vertical pupils staring at him at this moment were too pure and quiet, like two flawless pieces of jade, dazzlingly beautiful in the darkness, without the slightest hint of aggression.

Wen Xin raised her hand, and a palace lantern appeared in her hand, allowing her to see the owner of those green vertical pupils.

It was an extremely large black snake, its body larger than the trunk of the towering tree she was leaning against while sleeping, and it easily coiled around and surrounded the tree.

In his presence, Wen Xin was barely bigger than a kitten.

The black snake blended perfectly into the night; apart from its vertical pupils, no one could spot it.

This was the first time she had seen such a colossal creature since arriving in the Beast World.

Is he an orc? Or simply a ferocious beast from the depths of the Great Wilderness Mountains?

When Wen Xin took out the palace lantern, the giant black snake subconsciously tilted its head, seemingly very interested in the lantern in her hand.

Wen Xin's heart skipped a beat; she was charmed by this enormous creature.

The big snake tilted its head; it was actually quite cute.

However, Wen Xin also noticed that the giant snake had a pair of horns on its head, which looked as lustrous and beautiful as jade under the light, but the problem was...

Do snakes have horns?

Isn't that a jiao or a dragon?

This beast world actually has these legendary mythical beasts?

Are they all dormant or extinct?

But Wen Xin calmed down when she thought about the strange things hidden in this world.

As long as they don't pose a threat to her, it doesn't matter if they're demonic beasts or divine beasts.

The man and the snake stared at each other, neither of them saying a word.

After a long while, Wen Xin couldn't help but chuckle and handed over the palace lantern she was holding. "Do you like this?"

Seeing that she wasn't afraid of him and didn't seem to want to drive him away, the black snake's green eyes lit up slightly. It brought its huge head closer, but instead of touching the palace lantern, it carefully rubbed against her hand.

The cool, refreshing touch startled Wen Xin slightly, but she was immediately charmed by the giant snake.

Especially after he brushed against her, his green vertical pupils looked at her obediently, shining brighter and more beautiful than the stars in the sky.

Wen Xin couldn't help but clutch her heart; the giant snake acting cute was just too much.

She pursed her red lips slightly and couldn't help but reach out and touch the snake's head.

Not only did he not reject her, but he also moved closer to let her touch him, his eyes sparkling even brighter, and he was extremely docile.

Wen Xin wondered if his tail was wagging very fast now.

She couldn't help but chuckle, "Do you live in the mountains?"

The black snake tilted its head again, it was unclear whether it had understood what she said.

Wen Xin laughed and said, "I thought you were hungry and wanted to eat me as a midnight snack."

Upon hearing this, the giant snake blinked, its green eyes seeming somewhat aggrieved.

He doesn't eat people, and even if he did, he wouldn't eat hers.

He understood what she was saying.

So easy to fool, and so adorable.

Xiao Jin stared at the enormous, cold-blooded beast and fell silent.

Cute? Is the owner serious?

You're not even enough for him to swallow whole.

Wen Xin was serious, of course. She smiled and patted his head, smoothing his hair. "I was just kidding. So, did you come here to play with me?"

Play?

The black snake tilted its head and thought for a moment, then suddenly circled behind Wen Xin, lifted her onto its head, and swam away.

Before Wen Xin could react, the scenery in front of her rushed past, and the cold wind blowing through the mountain forest at night almost made her freeze.

However, she hadn't been cold for long when a warm black feather coat gently fell on her, blocking out all the cold wind.

Wen Xin was startled again, and her grip on the black feathered robe tightened involuntarily.

In this primitive world, there are orcs with black feathered robes and those green vertical pupils...

She lowered her eyes slightly; she didn't even need to guess the black snake's identity.

After all, there aren't that many coincidences in this world.

However, in his previous life, he never manifested his beast form in front of any soul fragments or anyone else, and therefore, no one knew what his beast form actually looked like.

He had heard some rumors that his beast form was extremely deformed and ugly, which was why he was driven out of the Tengshe tribe and never dared to show himself in front of people.

Looking at the enormous beast carrying her through the mountains and forests, and feeling the cool, black gem-like scales under her hands, Wen Xin believed that anyone who saw this behemoth would feel only awe and submission, and would definitely not associate it with ugliness.

If we're talking about ugliness, those beastmen of the Kunpeng tribe who are neither fish nor birds are truly deformed.

However, in the fragments of her memory, the leader of the Tengshe was cold, serious, and never smiled. Although he treated her very well and took good care of her, he was always like a demon god on a high throne, cold and ruthless, without any emotions or desires, and no one dared to blaspheme him.

To the fragments of the soul, he was like an older brother and a teacher, always reliable, but never to be allowed to cross any lines.
