"You're not going to sleep tonight until you find the dead fox."
Pei Qing's vicious words made the giant pythons tremble involuntarily.
They quickly scattered, all transforming into human form, and ran back into the tribe.
Meanwhile, Jiang Cha sat on a tree, holding the injured white tiger in her arms, and looked at the moon.
The sky is exceptionally clear and bright tonight. The Milky Way stretches across the sky, the stars twinkle brightly, and the crescent moon hangs high in the sky, without a single dark cloud.
"Ahem, they should have succeeded, right?"
Bai Qi's soft voice broke the silence of the night.
"Yeah, those mad dogs all ran away."
Jiang Cha looked up at the sky, feeling a pang of longing for that world.
Although she no longer cares about her relatives, she misses the bustling traffic, airplanes, telephones, and high technology there.
Most importantly, she can't play games or watch TV shows here, which is very unfriendly to her, a night owl, every night.
"Goddess... cough cough, Jiang Cha, have you ever seen the Beast God?"
Bai Qi thought of Jiang Cha asking him to call her by name, and then immediately changed his mind.
However, his question was not pleasing, and Jiang Cha replied expressionlessly, "No."
But she knew that if there really was a Beast God in this world, it must be related to her system.
"I've heard that the deceased fly up to the sky and become stars. Although they can't speak or come down, they will always be watching over us and protecting us."
"The star that belongs to me is definitely not in this world."
"Why? He's not from this world?"
"Um."
Bai Qi is very smart and quick to learn; he understood instantly what she meant by "we're not in the same world."
Seeing that he hadn't been able to comfort anyone at all, Bai Qi, somewhat frustrated, plucked a leaf from the tree and put it to his lips.
After two "puff puff" sounds, a melodious tune suddenly rang out, as gentle as a summer breeze caressing one's cheek.
Seeing this, Jiang Cha also took out a leaf, placed it to her lips, and gently blew on it.
This time I was more skilled, and I didn't even make a "poof" sound.
The tune she played was also soft and melodious, as if it were part of nature, intertwined with the sounds of wind and insects, creating a peaceful and serene feeling.
Their ensemble music is increasingly relaxing and calming to listen to.
"Hiss~"
Just then, a faint hissing sound of a snake suddenly broke into the melody.
Jiang Cha, quick-witted, immediately stopped playing.
Bai Qi licked his lips, seemingly still wanting more, and looked at Jiang Cha with even more fervor in his eyes.
Finding someone whose tune is a perfect match for yours is incredibly rare, perhaps one in a million.
This further solidified his decision to become someone's beastly husband.
"Don't move, I'll go check."
Bai Qi transformed back into his original form and slipped down to the tree to investigate.
The rustling sounds were particularly noticeable at night.
Jiang Cha sat on the tree and waited, but the longer she waited, the more uneasy she felt. The tree was too tall, and she was pregnant with her baby. If she fell, it would be terrible.
They could only peek down cautiously.
But it was pitch black up there, giving off a deep and eerie feeling. I stared at it for a long time but couldn't make out anything.
"Hiss~"
The snake's hissing sound rang out again, and Jiang Cha immediately stood up to look around.
Suddenly, a giant black python stood in front of her. Its lower body was covered with branches, and its upper body was its head. Its golden eyes were fixed on her.
A cold sweat immediately broke out on my back.
"Female, what's your name?"
The giant black python suddenly spoke in human language, its pupils filled with cold light.
Ginger tea.
Remembering her identity, she realized that revealing her name might save her life, since everyone knew she was pregnant anyway.
"You are the goddess?"
"yes."
"And she's not even that good-looking..."
Jiang Cha was so angry that her eyebrows twitched. Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind, and she tentatively asked, "Are you perhaps the Black Serpent King Pei Ling?"
"Um."
Pei Ling replied coldly, then shrank back to leave, as if he had only swum up to see her once.
"Where are you going? How's that white tiger that just went down?"
"The tribe will not die."
Pei Ling answered her question concisely, and his figure quickly disappeared.
As night deepened, Jiang Cha couldn't help but call out, "Bai Qi! Are you alright?"
She called out several times but received no response; instead, the howls of some wild beasts, seemingly eager to attack, rang out.
This made Jiang Cha too afraid to make a sound.
If she attracts a bunch of wild animals, especially if some of them can climb trees, she'll be finished.
Cang Yi and Feng Mu, who had run into the tribe, were also in a difficult situation.
Their path was blocked by the tribe's black snakes, and in the end, they had no choice but to engage in close combat.
"Let them go."
The battle, which had been raging fiercely, came to an abrupt halt after Pei Ling returned.
"Thank you, Snake King."
Feng Mu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and bowed.
With his strength, he shouldn't have been so badly injured; ultimately, it was all to protect those two burdens.
Cang Yi, on the other hand, was quite formidable, and apart from his bald head, he had no injuries whatsoever.
He was an eagle, and these were just small snakes. Cang Yi didn't take them seriously at all and injured many of the black-clad people.
"Brother, why did you let them leave?"
Pei Qing was furious, "You have no idea what they just did, they actually..."
Before he could finish speaking, Pei Ling interrupted him, "I know, it's just a hyena, no need to care."
Pei Qing: "..."
Okay, fine, they're just too weak.
Cang Yi supported the seriously injured Feng Mu, with a middle-aged female and a half-beast human standing behind them.
They thought they had met a kind person, but they hadn't gone far when Pei Ling stopped them.
"The females stay; everyone else can leave."
Seeing that he had gone back on his word, Cang Yi was so angry that he blocked their way and roared, "She's a grandmother now, do you expect her to keep you here as her grandsons?"
Feng Mu felt dizzy and the blood at the corner of his mouth continued to flow. These giant pythons were too strong; no wonder they could intimidate those hundreds of maned dogs.
“That’s right, the cubs can be taken away, but the females can stay.”
Pei Qing suddenly chimed in, "That jerk, get out of here. You're not welcome here."
The main reason is actually that we can't beat them.
"Don't be blind and judge people by their appearance, I'm a male!"
Cang Yi, burning with anger, offered a brief explanation.
Unfortunately, no one was listening.
Some people have even tried to snatch the package from Lin Manman's back.
Then, Feng Mu, who was holding on, blocked them from getting closer, and Cang Yi also came over to help.
"Stay, female, and become a member of our Black Serpent Clan."
"Exactly, what future is there in going out with these people?"
"We don't need the cubs anymore; we can have more."
"You can choose more beastmen to help our Black Serpent Clan expand its lineage."
"..."
Pei Ling stood there, listening indifferently to the clansmen's remarks, without uttering a word.
