“I am now a priestess of the wolf clan, so of course I can’t stay with your snake clan! Your snake clan hibernates, but I don’t. If the cold wave comes, I’ll suffocate here!” Yu Ling said, then immediately added, “But… although I can’t stay, I would never betray my allies!”

Snake Flame became interested as he listened. He wanted to see what kind of startling words this rabbit-like creature would say. He asked, "Hmm? When did you become an ally of our snake clan?"

"Think about it, I was originally driven out of the Lion Clan and became a priest in the Wolf Clan. Your actions are clearly another attempt to harm the Lion Clan. As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. We have this common enemy, so of course we are allies. How could I possibly tell anyone about you... cough cough, about this?"

"Hmm, and then what? Do you think I'll trust you and let you go because of that?"

"No, of course I know you're worried, but have you considered this: the Lion Clan is currently completely focused on that female who appeared out of nowhere. Even if they found out, they wouldn't offend you at this crucial moment."

Yu Ling laid out all her bargaining chips, but She Yan still didn't seem convinced. Although every word Yu Ling said made sense on its own, it wasn't his style to just let go of a rabbit that had sneaked in with ill intentions in the middle of the night.

"Since you've been trying so hard to fool me, how about this: stay with me for one night and I'll let you go?"

".......Huh?" Yu Ling didn't expect that the simple beastman world would be so open-minded. "I'm a rabbit and you're a snake, is this...is this okay? Besides, we're both male..."

"Stop, stop, stop! What are you thinking?!" Snake Flame grabbed Yu Ling's ear before she could finish speaking, pointing at the silly rabbit who had 'spoken outrageous words.' "What I meant was, come with me tonight to talk about something! What are you thinking?!"

I just thought this rabbit was a little clever, but how come its thoughts are so filthy? I wonder where it learned that from!

Snake Flame's actions and words were full of disgust, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up, betraying his awakened soul that loved cute things. Could this rabbit like him? Well, the rabbit was so small, as weak as a female, while he was so powerful and intelligent, ruling the snake clan. It was understandable that it would have such feelings for him.

If it were this rabbit... it's prettier than the females, and so small, soft, and fluffy... it would be so comfortable to hold, so it's not something he could completely rule out.

Wait a minute? No, wait a minute! How did he get led astray too?

"Alright, answer me now!" Snake Flame chose to use an even louder question to cover up the restless heart that had been stirred up by Yu Ling's casual remark.

"Okay, I...I promise!" Yu Ling was already embarrassed because she had misunderstood, so she hurriedly agreed.

So this snake was planning to cause trouble for another tribe again. But he quickly forgot what he had just said. As long as he forgot, he wouldn't be embarrassed!

"Come on, little bunny, don't always be so obsessed with that kind of thing!"

What made the cold and venomous Snake Flame seem like a completely different snake?

A: A little priest of the rabbit clan.

It was the middle of the night, a time when the snake clan, whose daily routines were completely disrupted, was awake. They were astonished to see that Snake Flame hadn't cursed anyone on his way back, but instead hurriedly made his way back to his den with a white fluffy ball on his head.

"Am I seeing things or dreaming? The snake flame looks strangely gentle. Is he poisoned?"

"No, you're right, because I saw it too..."

"Is that the same rabbit on his head from last time?"

......

Snake Flame thought he was still as arrogant as ever, so how could he know what those boring snakes were imagining?

After he used his main body to push Yu Ling's main body into his snake hole, he was about to get straight to the point and tell Yu Ling the bad idea he had just come up with to get her to cooperate when he felt the rabbit rubbing its furry body all over his head.

"What are you doing?" Snake Flame felt uncomfortable all over, his tail stood up, and he managed to hold back the movement of curling that soft lump down.

Yu Ling: ...Oh no, as expected, I can't control the original owner's subconscious little actions at all!

"Sorry, I'll be right down!"

After Yu Ling finished speaking, she took off jumping down, but unexpectedly, she was caught by a long tail just as she reached mid-air.

"Hmm, I'm not some unintelligent hare, I won't die from falling from this height..."

Completely subconsciously, Snake Flame caught the rabbit's attention: Oh no, could the rabbit think I... I like him too? Ahahahahaha... Uh, cough cough, how could that be? It's just... cough cough, I just wanted to take care of the weak, yes! Take care of the weak.

"Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to pick you up. Heh, I mean, you're really weak, I could just pinch you with one tail..." Snake Flame started rambling.

Yu Ling was completely confused.

What's wrong with this snake?

However, since he was already there, he decided to save the clan leader first. He ignored the somewhat abnormal Snake Flame and said, "Snake Flame, I'll go say hello to the little snakes first and then come find you!" Then he hopped and skipped away from the snake hole.

Snake Flame was still immersed in explaining that she really had no feelings for the rabbit: "It wasn't that I specifically wanted to find you, it was just a coincidence. Actually, you're not that cute, why would I need a rabbit... Huh? Where's the rabbit?"

Yu Ling had no idea that a simple basic attack had tricked Serpent Flame into using all of his ultimate skills. Her mind was in a mess, which is why she couldn't stop herself in time. She found her way to the cub's cave and managed to sneak in without even opening the stone door, thanks to her skill in using her main body to burrow through the cave.

The little snake happened to be near the cave entrance when she saw Yu Ling's figure and shouted happily, "The Beast God really appeared! He said his wish to bring back Brother Rabbit Priest has come true! I knew praying to the Beast God every day was effective!"

Yuling: "......"

Seeing how much you believe this is a miracle from the Beast God, my conscience suddenly aches a little.

"Little Flower, I—no! The Beast God has a mysterious task for you!" Yu Ling chose to abandon her conscience. "Are you confident you can complete it?"

The little snake was overjoyed and readily agreed, constantly asking what the mission was and whether it needed to be kept secret.

Yu Ling: "There's a cave next to the little blue flower on the other side of the river behind the cave. Take a few antidote herbs, go in, hand them over to the wolf guarding the exit, and come back. Can you do that?"
