Qin Xiyao gave the viper a name, and the viper was very happy!

Its entire head was covered with patterns, and its body was covered with scales, which felt very soft to the touch. Qin Xiyao was instantly inspired.

"How about naming you Rou'er, or Xiao Rourou?"

"Although you are an ancient spirit snake, you have a gentle temperament and are not very ferocious. I named you Rou'er, hoping that you can always maintain a gentle temperament."

After Qin Xiyao named the viper, she briefly explained the meaning of the name to it.

The viper liked the name Qin Xiyao gave it very much, so it nodded quickly to tell Qin Xiyao that she liked the name.

"Since you like this name, then it's settled!"

Qin Xiyao spoke to Viper with a gentle expression.

The viper nodded again, which was considered as his agreement!

“Huff!”

At this moment, the little white ape, who had eaten and drunk enough, was clamoring to run outside the cave to bask in the sun. He told Qin Xiyao that it was cold and stuffy in the cave.

"You used to live in the cave with the immortal Tianji, why didn't you complain about the cold?" Qin Xiyao was amused by the appearance of the little white ape!

The little white ape rubbed his round belly and lazily huddled with the viper to keep warm. He felt the closer he got to the viper, the colder it got! He was almost curled up in a ball!

It was choked by Qin Xiyao's words! Not knowing how to respond to Qin Xiyao's words, it opened its mouth and then closed it again!

It didn't know that the body temperature of snakes changes with the surrounding environment. Without the Chaos Spirit Fire to control the temperature, the Spirit Fire Cave was extremely cold at the moment. It would be strange if it didn't feel cold leaning on the viper in spring!

Previously, there was a chaotic spiritual fire in the Spirit Fire Cave. The lighting in the entire Spirit Fire Cave was particularly good, and it felt very cozy. The cave was as warm as spring, and you didn’t feel cold in winter and you didn’t feel hot in summer.

After being transformed by the immortal Tianji, the Chaos Spirit Fire has become very spiritual, equivalent to a 21st century variable-frequency air conditioner, warm in winter and cool in summer.

In Xuankong Continent, March to May is spring, June to August is summer, September to November is autumn, and December to February is winter.

It was spring in May now. When Qin Xiyao first came to the Spirit Fire Cave, the Chaos Spirit Fire had not yet been taken away by Qin Xiyao, so the heat waves coming from the Spirit Fire Cave were actually emitted from the Chaos Spirit Fire!

At that time, the heat wave hit Qin Xiyao, and she felt warm and sunny, not hot.

I didn't expect that when I came to Linghuo Cave again a few days later, it would be so cold.

The little white ape naturally would not let Qin Xiyao put the Chaos Spirit Fire back into the Spirit Fire Cave!

After all, the Chaos Spirit Fire is a great treasure, a spiritual fire that many cultivators dream of!

Unfortunately, they don’t have enough luck and are destined not to obtain the Chaos Spirit Fire!

The little white ape will never let his master suffer any loss!

Of course, the Spirit Fire Cave was cold without the Chaos Spirit Fire! But, how could it dare to say that in front of Qin Xiyao?

"Huff!" The little white ape asked Qin Xiyao in ape language: Master, can I borrow your spiritual fire?

"Xiao Baibai! It's warmer inside the Qiankun Ring. If you're afraid of the cold, just stay inside!"

If you're complaining about her taking the Chaos Spirit Fire, just say it directly! Why are you beating around the bush?

The little white ape is so thoughtful, she doesn't mind inflicting some injustice on it!

“Huff!”

When the little white ape heard that Qin Xiyao was going to put it into the Qiankun Ring, it immediately gave in, but it was indeed shivering from the cold.

It discussed with Qin Xiyao in ape language: "Master! My disciple is really cold! We have finished lunch, and the sun is so bright outside. Can you please be kind to me? My dear Master!"

"You and your sister Rou'er are so close, it would be strange if you weren't cold!"

"Is there no warmth in your sister Rou'er?"

Qin Xiyao said with a smile on her face. The more she looked at the cute little white ape, the more she liked him!

“Huff!”

After hearing Qin Xiyao's words, the little white ape touched the soft scales on the viper's body with its furry little paw, and immediately retracted its furry little paw as a conditioned reflex.

It spoke to the viper in the common language of the spirit pet world: "Sister! You are so cold! Why don't you freeze?"

"Like ordinary snakes, our ancient spirit snakes lack a complete thermoregulatory mechanism to generate and maintain a constant body temperature."

"It changes with the surrounding environment. Therefore, ordinary snakes without cultivation will hibernate in the winter when the surrounding temperature is low!"

"As for us ancient spirit snakes, we have some cultivation and are not afraid of the cold winter. Therefore, those with a little cultivation will not overwinter. Generally, we will find a quiet place to continue practicing."

"I have a natural spiritual root, possessing gold and fire elements. Compared to other spirit snakes, I'm pretty good!"

"In winter, my body temperature is between 5°C and 10°C, so it's impossible for me to freeze!"

"Spirit Fire Cave is as cold as winter, so my body temperature is above 5°C right now, so you'll feel cold if you're close to me! Our favorite temperature is between 10°C and 35°C."

The viper explained to the little white ape using the common language of the spirit pet world.

After listening to the explanation of the viper, the little white ape suddenly realized: it turned out that he felt cold because he was close to a species like ice!

In order to take the viper's feelings into consideration, the little white ape did not keep a certain distance from the viper, but continued to stay close to the viper in the original posture.

The viper knew that the little white ape would feel even colder if it stayed close to it, but the little white ape did not subconsciously keep a certain distance from it, and it was too embarrassed to ask the little white ape to drive it away.

Without the Chaos Spiritual Fire to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the Spiritual Fire Cave is no different from an ordinary cave.

In order to take care of the little white apes' emotions and physical sensations, Qin Xiyao had to take them outside the Linghuo Cave to bask in the sun.

Just as they were lazily enjoying the sunbath, an animal that looked like a small mouse, with a brown head and back, a grayish-white belly, and a body covered with short black hair, jumped in front of them.

Seeing that Qin Xiyao and the others ignored it, it deliberately let out a loud fart in front of Qin Xiyao.

The smell is much worse than the shit and rotten eggs in the toilet!

The little mouse-like animal thought that it could successfully attract Qin Xiyao's attention by farting loudly, but Qin Xiyao didn't even look at it. She directly took out the "Xuantian Treasure Book" from the Qiankun Ring and started to read it.

Soon, Qin Xiyao looked up the column on the introduction of spiritual pets in the Xuankong Continent chapter of the "Xuantian Treasure Book" and found that the rattling shrew was exactly the same as the small animal she had seen so far.

According to the records in the "Xuantian Treasure Book", this small animal can be seen everywhere in the Xuankong Continent. It is not a rare spiritual pet. It mostly lives in mountains, forests and swamps. It usually feeds on insects, snails, earthworms, etc., and occasionally eats plant seeds and grains.

In terms of cultivation, the rattlesnake is a small animal below the fifth level of Qi Refining. Unless it can evolve into a steel-toothed shrew, cultivators may still raise it as a spiritual pet.
