Chapter 74 Snake felt wronged, but it seemed that Snake wouldn't say it and wouldn't say it anyway (...
The bedroom was cozy, and on the bed, which smelled of soap, the two slept in each other's arms, their legs and snake tails tightly intertwined, creating an exceptionally harmonious atmosphere.
The snake-man warily watched the man standing in the doorway, its dangling tail tip twitching uneasily, its forked tongue hissing and waving, a strong signal of impending attack. If it weren't for the sleeping person in its arms, it probably would have pounced and injected its venom long ago.
Shen Rong'an coldly observed everything, his gaze growing increasingly icy, subtly carrying a strong sense of malice, while the corners of his mouth curved upwards even further. He spoke softly, "Are you asleep? Dinner is almost here, you should get up now, otherwise you'll definitely have a headache tonight."
As he spoke, he pretended not to see the snake-man's wary movements, and walked lightly to the bedside, leaning down to place his hand on Pei Qing's cheek, calling out to her.
The snake-man propped himself up, his hands still wrapped around Pei Qing's waist, baring his teeth in displeasure, trying to scare away this annoying intruder.
Unfortunately, the annoying intruder was not intimidated at all, and even went so far as to sit on the bed and put his arm around Ms. A's shoulder.
The snake-man's eyes narrowed dangerously, as if he was about to launch an attack at any moment. Shen Rong'an was not to be outdone, gathering his mental energy at his side.
Just then, woman A's breathing rate suddenly changed, her eyes trembled, and she looked like she was about to wake up.
Pei Qing was woken up by the pressure.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she was met with two handsome faces that suddenly appeared above her, and her heart couldn't help but tremble.
"Cough cough... What are you doing? Get up, cough cough, stop pressing on me, I'm going to be crushed to death." Pei Qing stretched out her hand with difficulty, coughing painfully.
She felt like throwing up; her stomach was churning with acid. What were these two guys trying to do?!
Seeing that she was awake, Shen Rong'an hurriedly got up, quickly concealing the fierce look in his eyes and replacing it with a concerned expression. "A-Qian, are you still feeling unwell? Are you sick? I haven't been home much these past few days, and no one has been taking care of you. You must be exhausted. I made some warm and nourishing soup. Go down and have a bowl, otherwise your stomach will feel uncomfortable later..."
The snake-man withdrew its tentative tongue, still holding Pei Qing tightly and refusing to let go, its tail wrapped around her waist, as if it didn't want her to leave.
Pei Qian patted his head reassuringly, "Alright, alright, I'm going to eat now. You worked hard today, you did a great job."
In her drowsy state, she felt someone pick her up and put her on the bed so she could get some rest. She never expected that Xiao Hei would be so considerate now. It was truly a cause for celebration. All those years of (?) teaching had not been in vain. She suddenly felt a sense of relief.
"Alright, take the tail away..." Pei Qing patted the tail for a long time in a good mood, wanting the snake man to take it away himself, but for some reason, the snake man was particularly persistent today and still clung to it tightly.
Pei Qing was very hungry, and her mood immediately turned sour. She narrowed her eyes and her tone gradually became serious, "I'll say it one last time, take the tail away."
The snake-man shook his head, trying to reach out to stop Pei Qing, but was ruthlessly slapped away, and couldn't help but show a wronged expression.
Shen Rong'an pulled up a chair and sat down to watch the show with a smile. He was very happy to see this kind of drama and was secretly pleased.
At the end of this grand scene, Pei Qian closed the door and walked down the stairs with Shen Rong'an.
"Is this really alright? Isn't it a bit too much?" Shen Rong'an feigned concern, but the upward inflection at the end of his voice betrayed his true joy.
It was a rare treat to see the snake get its comeuppance, and it actually felt quite good. In an instant, the annoyance he felt at seeing the two of them sleeping together was greatly relieved.
"It's alright, it's just a little punishment. It's time he learned how despicable it is to stop someone from eating," Pei Qing replied nonchalantly, his only thought being to eat.
In her mind, appetite far outweighs other desires, but if they were combined like one plus one, perhaps there would be a different ranking method?
Downstairs, the three were enjoying a pleasant meal. Upstairs in the bedroom, however, a snake-man was tightly bound in mid-air by black tentacles, its mouth gagged, only able to whimper incessantly. Its powerful tail and venomous fangs were rendered useless by the bindings; it was truly pitiful.
After finishing her meal, Pei Qing, as usual, sprawled on the sofa and browsed the StarNet. When Shen Rong'an moved closer, she only glanced at it before turning her back to it. Recently, various star pirate groups in the Eighth Star Region had suddenly started roaming around for some unknown reason, causing great suffering to the surrounding planets.
Everyone's vulnerable period is somewhat different. Some experience a significant increase in aggression and desire; others feel restless and have racing thoughts; and still others may experience both.
Pei Qing is probably in the third state, but it's not quite the same. She's a bit irritable and a bit listless. Is it because she's in the early stages of her susceptible period?
Generally speaking, this situation would only occur after being comforted by a partner, but she has no such memory. Could it be that the original owner had some kind of sensitive period that she was unaware of?
After watching for a while, Pei Qing suddenly felt bored, so she threw the personal computer aside and lay down on the sofa with her eyes half-closed in boredom.
Shen Rong'an looked at her flushed cheeks, his chestnut eyes filled with worry. He reached out to touch Pei Qing's temperature; it was a little hot. "Are you really alright? Should we order some medicine? Your forehead feels a bit hot..."
Pei Qian grasped the hand covering her cheek, kneading it in her palm. The cool touch felt comforting, but she quickly said irritably, "It's nothing, I'm not sick, I..."
"No, it should be said that this body's vulnerable period has arrived."
"Oh, how are you feeling right now? Do you need me to help you?" Shen Rong'an leaned down and kissed her forehead, then moved Pei Qing's head so that she could comfortably rest her head on his lap.
Pei Qing sighed contentedly, found a suitable spot to lie down again, and said, "I don't need it for now. This body is a bit strange."
Strangely enough, suppressing the desire to eat makes me even more drowsy.
It was strange, Pei Qing couldn't help but wonder if something was wrong with her wretched body again. After all, strictly speaking, she really didn't know what race she was, and she knew nothing about its habits.
Although Shen Rong'an seemed to know a lot, what he said was always half true and half false. Many times, Pei Qing had to trick him into revealing everything. She didn't think Shen Rong'an would tell her everything. In other words, she didn't trust him.
"Have I ever been in this situation before?" Pei Qing casually tossed Shen Rong'an's hair. Shen Rong'an paused for a moment, then shook his head. "I only came to the research institute in the later stages of the experiment, so there are many things I don't know..."
"Oh, okay." Pei Qing knew he would say that, but she had only asked casually and didn't care.
Seeing her nonchalant reaction, Shen Rong'an became a little anxious. His thighs trembled a few times, and he cupped Pei Qing's head in his hands, his gaze sincere. "Qian, believe me, I really don't know—um!"
Before he could finish speaking, Pei Qian spontaneously wrapped her arms around his neck, and their lips met in a deep kiss. After the kiss, Shen Rong'an leaned back on the sofa, panting, his eyes watery, his neck flushed red, looking at Pei Qian with a wronged expression. She had actually used a kiss to cut him off—she simply didn't trust him!
"Alright, alright, I know, I know." Seeing this, Pei Qing reached out and patted the top of his chestnut hair. The fluffy hair trembled, and Shen Rong'an's body trembled a few times like a startled rabbit. How amusing, Pei Qing laughed until her eyes narrowed into slits.
Helivin had been consciously avoiding long meetings with Pei Qing these past few days. Right now, the two of them were playing around on the sofa in the living room, while he stayed alone in the kitchen under the pretext of cleaning up the dishes, sitting quietly with his eyes vacant.
If it weren't for the cow-orc's ears twitching occasionally, one might mistake him for a lifelike robot on pause. He sat quietly in the corner of the kitchen, without turning on the light, his tall, muscular body almost blending into the darkness.
The faint scent of honey bread pheromones gradually spread, and Hilliwin's heat was aroused early by the stimulation of the female Alpha during her sensitive period. Noticing the pheromone scent spreading, he pulled out a suppressant from his side pocket and expressionlessly stuck it into the back of his neck.
Downstairs on the sofa, Pei Qing was nestled in Shen Rong'an's arms watching a promotional video for "Yi," a game that had recently topped the holographic game charts again thanks to its new online multiplayer mode and gameplay.
Come to think of it, it seems like she hasn't played "Yi" in a long time. Whenever she thinks of this game, Pei Qing can't help but think of that exceptionally enthusiastic and cheerful blond puppy. She wonders how he's been lately and whether he's logged into the game.
No matter what, he was a gaming partner she had personally trained, so it's a bit of a pity to lose him like this. I feel like I wasted so much effort, and in the end, I didn't even get to play more than a few games.
Time passed slowly, and the sky gradually darkened. Soon, it was completely dark outside. Pei Qing yawned, shutting down her personal terminal. "Phew, what time is it? Let's close the shop. Yawn... I'm a little sleepy."
It's really late, but I feel like I've forgotten something... It's so dark, what was it again... Ah! It's Xiao Hei! I remember now!
She's kept Little Black, the snake, tied up in the bedroom all night! Although the initial purpose was punishment, keeping it tied up like this is going too far.
Pei Qian quickly got up, and before she could even put on her slippers properly, she hurriedly climbed upstairs, took a long stride, twisted the bedroom door, and flung it open.
"!"
The snake-man's eyes were tightly closed, and the entire snake hung stiffly in mid-air, as if all the muscles in its body had lost their elasticity, and even its usually shiny tail had lost its luster.
"Is he going to die?!" Pei Qing hurriedly waved her tentacles, released all the restraints, laid the snake-man down on the bed, and gently patted his face, anxiously waiting.
A minute later, the snake-man slowly opened his eyes. The moment he came into contact with the dazzling light, his dark golden pupils quickly shrank into two thin slits, and his large tail skillfully hooked the familiar person next to him.
Feeling the weight of the cold tail on her body, Pei Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Whew, thank goodness she wasn't dead. But with a snake-man's powerful physique, it should be hard for them to die, right? Her state just now seemed to be a state of suspended animation caused by some kind of animal gene, she thought to herself.
With the farcical incident over, Pei Qing felt relieved and relaxed, lying on the bed as the snake-man's large tail wrapped around her without restraint. Well, consider it a small reward after the punishment.
But what is this? Pei Qing accidentally touched the damp fabric as she turned over. She raised her hand to sniff it; it wasn't a strange smell, but rather a woody fragrance. Like pheromones about to dissipate.
How could there be something like this on the bed? Pei Qing observed intently. These marks were mainly concentrated on the left side of the bed, and neither of the two Omegas in the house seemed to have this scent. Could it be…?
Pei Qing glanced suspiciously at the snake-man's location, but the woman A, who had her back to it, did not notice the snake-man's guilty look and the tip of its constantly swaying tail.
The smell was somewhat familiar, but too faint for Pei Qing to recognize, so she gave up and resignedly found a change of sheets, inviting the snake man to lay them down with her.
This time, the snake-man was unusually obedient. Although his movements were still a bit clumsy, he followed Pei Qing's instructions carefully. After making the bed, the two of them collapsed onto the bed, exhausted.
Sure enough, I'll leave this kind of thing to Shen Rong'an next time. I never want to make the sheets again; it's just too tiring.
Yawning, so sleepy... Pei Qing lay on the pillow of just the right height and fell asleep comfortably.
When Shen Rong'an entered the bedroom, he saw a human and a snake embracing affectionately, and suddenly felt a tickle in his back teeth. Looking at the snake-human's gently swaying tail, his mood grew increasingly irritable.
This snake is really irritating no matter how you look at it. It's disgusting, shamelessly sticking next to A-Qian while pretending to be innocent and stupid. It's such an eyesore.
I need to think of a way... Shen Rong'an squinted his eyes, glanced at the information displayed on the personal terminal ten minutes ago without leaving a trace, and typed 'OK'.
Satisfied, he put away his personal terminal, squeezed himself between the man and the snake, kicked the snake-man off the bed with a "thud," and then held Pei Qing in his arms and went to sleep peacefully.
The snake-man blinked, bewildered, as it got up from the ground, tilting its head in confusion, seemingly not understanding how there had suddenly become someone on the bed. However, with only a fingernail-sized brain, it couldn't think too much at the moment. It curled its tail under the bed and silently crawled back to Pei Qing's other side.
It's so crowded...
Pei Qing, who was asleep, was surrounded by different scents and struggled to mutter to herself.
