Chapter 62 Mr. Fu, your wife will help you peel potatoes
After Xie Zao Zao had drilled thirty-two holes, he finally pulled out a madly twisting thing from the hole. The whole body was slippery and filled with a disgusting stench.
At first glance, it looked like a madly wriggling snake—half a snake.
It was sewn together crookedly with low-quality red thread, piece by piece, and in the end only half of it was pieced together. Its body was oozing with black water and was sticky, with a beautiful face.
"I guessed right."
Xie Zao Zao turned around and found that she couldn't see Fu Yanzhi either, so she stepped everywhere with her feet. When she stepped on a man's foot, she confirmed that it was Fu Yanzhi.
Just as she was about to say she was too capable to pay attention, she heard a prompt from the main system.
[Ding, friendly reminder to the host: please maintain your single mother persona to gain the attention of those above you. If you continue to ruin your persona, the system will reclaim your rewards.]
Xie Zao Zao: ...
She was unusually silent.
Fu Yanzhi didn't know why and remained silent.
After a moment, Xie Zaozao finally reorganized his words: "Sir, I'm a little scared."
"Oh," Fu Yanzhi's voice rang out in the darkness, "Are you scared? I thought you were taking credit for it."
Xie Zaozao: "Can fear and seeking credit go together?"
System: Host, what nonsense are you talking about?
Fu Yanzhi obviously thought that Xie Zaozao was talking nonsense, so he ignored her and lit a talisman in the dark.
The dark cave suddenly lit up.
The cave was not very big, but it was very long and narrow, with a narrow path leading to who knows where.
They were in a slightly larger space, and the surrounding walls were riddled with holes due to Xie Zao Zao's poking, and air was leaking in.
The half-snake cried miserably: "You have beaten my house into this state!!"
Fu Yanzhi glanced at Xie Zaozao, who looked very calm.
This woman is not easy to mess with.
Just as he came to this conclusion, he saw Xie Zaozao holding the beauty snake in her hand and walking a few steps towards him. She said lightly, "I'm a little scared..."
Fu Yanzhi: ...If he hadn't pinched the beautiful snake until her eyes rolled back, he would have really believed it.
Xie Zaozao acted pretentiously, and when he saw that the main system was silent, he took out a fairy-binding lock from his pocket and tightly wrapped the beauty snake into a cocoon.
Snake Beauty: "You, what are you going to do to me?!"
Xie Zao Zao said: "Send you to heaven."
Snake: "...Um...won't you torture me? Aren't you curious about why I would do such a thing?"
Xie Zao Zao said: "I'm not curious."
After saying this, she was about to strangle her to death. The beautiful snake screamed again: "Then, then you won't save that little girl and your companions?"
Xie Zaozao: "If you die, there are plenty of ways to save them."
This is true. Unless it is an extremely powerful demon, the evil curse can be completely lifted after the culprit dies.
The serpent was about to cry: "But I don't want to die!"
Xie Zaozao: "What does it have to do with me?"
He reached out to strangle her, but was stopped by Fu Yanzhi.
"I have something else to ask her."
The serpentine laughed crazily: "You idiot, look, your man doesn't help you at all, why are you so proud? You are so cruel and ruthless that you are despised by others - ah!"
Fu Yanzhi firmly grasped the snake's tongue and pulled it out with all his strength, saying casually, "How did you survive?"
The serpent twisted its body wildly in pain, making a hissing sound.
Fu Yanzhi pulled out a dagger from his bosom and asked, "Which hurts more, being broken into pieces or being skinned and cramped? Do you want to feel it?"
The serpent beauty said with a sad face: "Sir, you are so fierce, aren't you afraid that you will scare away the beautiful lady beside you?"
The beautiful lady Xie Zao Zao said, "Can I help you? I can't peel potatoes, but I'm the fastest at peeling potatoes in our sect."
I think the steps for peeling potatoes and peeling snakes should be similar.
[Ding, system prompt——]
"What a bullshit hint! Can't I just help him peel potatoes? How can I expect him to protect me if I don't give him some benefits?" Xie Zaozao said impatiently.
The main system is silent.
Obviously, if you want the protection of the superior, showing goodwill in a servile manner seems to be a good idea.
The beautiful snake was crying and thinking, why are these two men and women so fierce? And she is not a potato!
In the end, I had no choice but to confess honestly.
That night, frightened, Xinling Jun captured all the evil concubines in the palace and beheaded them that night.
That night, the entire palace was a river of blood. Those concubines who lived in luxury never dreamed that they would be snatched up from their sleep and skinned alive by their own lovers.
That night, the entire palace was dyed red with blood.
The next day, all the civil and military officials in the court heard the news and rushed over, only to see the ruined palace and Lord Xinling sitting in the throne room with a dejected look on his face.
No one knows why he did this, but if you look at his usual behavior, no one would believe that he would be scared by a concubine who turned into a snake.
Because when he was on a secret tour, he praised a young girl with deer antlers, saying, "She's quite pretty."
Because of his words, many human girls at that time made their own deer antler-like hair accessories and wore them, which became very popular for a while.
Such a person always makes people feel that he would not do such a thing.
It's also possible that he was drunk and said some nonsense.
In short, from that day on, demons and humans have been on a path of irreconcilable conflict.
During the conflict, Xinling Jun actually hung the bodies of his dead concubines on the city gate, completely drawing a clear line between humans and demons and embarking on the road of conflict.
The serpent beauty said, "That day I was also hung on the city wall. I was unexpectedly awakened by the sun. I looked down in a daze and saw many people looking at me. And I was left with only a broken body."
Although she survived, her spiritual power was completely destroyed and she could only live in the darkness underground. After being buried on the spot, she desperately drilled underground, into the pitch-black darkness.
"So, why don't you just stay in the fields? Why are you causing trouble?"
The beauty snake's eyes rolled. "Oh, you are really wronging me, girl. I was clearly dug out by someone. How can you say that I caused the trouble?"
Fu Yanzhi sneered: "How do you explain that crack?"
The beauty snake's face turned pale. "How do you explain this? What cracks? I don't understand."
Fu Yanzhi carried her and walked down the narrow path, and soon they arrived at a cave.
The cave was so huge that it could almost accommodate the entire school of the Fu family. It was filled with all kinds of earthenware jars and vats, neatly arranged on the ground.
There was a huge crack above the empty space. A strong wind blew through the crack, and the entire space was filled with a blood-red color.
Among the thousands of earthenware jars on the ground, there were points of light, which were slowly sucked away by the blood in the hole and disappeared.
Outside the cave, there is definitely no human world.
"How do you explain?" Fu Yanzhi asked the serpent beauty.
The serpent lady stopped talking.
"What you did was just to open the rift between the demon world and the human world as soon as possible and disrupt the entire human world, right?"
The beauty snake's eyes turned, and suddenly she sprayed a mouthful of black water at Fu Yanzhi.
