The Jealousy Train dungeon ultimately gained fame with a 78% completion rate. At the same time, because so many people survived, the story of Shi Jinzhe's insane act of calling a giant snake his wife also spread far and wide.
His earlier nickname, "Xu Xian from Another World," was brought up again. Shekh, wearing headphones, lay on the sofa, browsing the forum with a blank expression. He seemed very ordinary, but in reality, his tail was circling and patting the floor.
Shi Jinzhe held down her tail, his flat tone revealing his detachment from worldly affairs, "If the tail had a mouth, it would be laughing its head off by now."
“I didn’t laugh.” She tilted her head back. “Look, my expression didn’t change.”
Do you think I believe that?
"Don't you believe me anymore?" she countered.
"...Is that how you use that phrase?"
Shekh hugged his waist and pressed his face against him. "How about you turn into a tree and live in the park in the city center? I'll go and call your husband."
Shi Jinzhe saw through her, "Her real purpose is only the first half of what she said."
"Then you transform."
“It’s the same if I turn into a tree and you call me that,” Shi Jin folded his hand and placed it on her face, tracing back and forth along Shehe’s jawline with his fingers. “If you call a tree ‘husband,’ people will at most think you’re crazy, but if I call a snake ‘wife,’ they’ll think I’m capable of doing something inhuman.”
"Then they're right."
"Wait a minute, you did something to me?"
Shekh argued logically and convincingly: "I am not human."
"Then let me correct you, it has nothing to do with snakes."
“But you like it very much.” She could hear the hint of smugness in Shi Jinzhe’s words. She straightened up on the sofa and changed her embrace from his waist to his neck. “Go and change it. I will grant you one request unconditionally.”
Shi Jinzhe: "Anything is fine?"
"Anything is fine." As long as she can handle it.
"Okay, I'll transform you." Shi Jinzhe glanced out the window. "The original world isn't suitable; we'll have to go into the game."
Shekh perked up. "So you really can turn into a tree now? Why don't you transform for me willingly?"
"...It's hard to change."
“Don’t talk like you have something to hide,” Shekh kissed his chin. “Go change now, anything is fine, as long as it’s you.”
Shi Jinzhe looked at her and said, "I want to confirm one more time. No matter what happens, you will unconditionally grant me one request?"
"I'd even agree to turn you into moss."
“Okay, it’s a deal.” Shi Jinzhe picked her up and carried her to the dressing room. “Come on, wear something bright, it’ll attract more attention.”
After looking around, he finally chose a shimmering white dress, "This matches my color better."
After changing his clothes, Shekh made sure to say goodbye to the two snakes on the first floor before leaving.
Shi Jinzhe led her to the player rest area. It was early morning, and the huge city was somewhat empty because most of the players were in the dungeon.
In the magnificent square in the city center, Schech crossed his arms and asked, "You're going to transform right here?"
"Yes, there will be more people when it's light out. If you don't call me, I'll never change my mind for the rest of my life."
Shekh didn't dwell on the fact that Shi Jinzhe hadn't asked her to call him "wife" on her own initiative. He simply said, "I'll call you that if you change."
She really needs a tree that can support her size; she hasn't been up in a tree in so long and misses it terribly.
Shi Jinzhe took a deep breath; Sheh felt as if he were about to be escorted to the execution ground.
Is it really that difficult?
"I'm not forcing you, I'm just afraid you'll be disappointed." Shi Jinzhe covered her eyes. "Close them."
Shekh closed his eyes. "Will you be like Mu Bai, possessing both a physical form and a human body?"
Shi Jinzhe: "Yes, but after the dissection, the original body will only stay in one place, so you won't see my human form for a while."
He withdrew his hand, and Shekh kept his promise, keeping his eyes closed steadily.
It was very quiet around her. She didn't hear any strange noises or smell any unusual fragrances. Only the sound of Shi Jinzhe had disappeared.
Is it okay now?
No one answered her. After a while, Shekh lifted her eyelids slightly and surveyed her surroundings with half-closed eyes.
The ground in front of her was slightly illuminated by the faint fluorescent light. She looked up, and her usually calm expression finally showed disbelief.
It's not that it doesn't resemble the image in her mind, but it's that it has absolutely no relation to it.
This doesn't look like a tree...
Without branches or leaves, clear and bright, it resembles the crystal orchid from the original world, but with slight differences in the corolla. It still retains some characteristics of a giant tree, with a bell-shaped corolla like a tree canopy. It blooms more profusely than a real crystal orchid, with many slender petals. The base of the petals transitions to a light white-gold color, and further down is a translucent flower stem that wraps around a white-gold inner core.
As it grew, the pale golden light became more and more obvious. Shech didn't say a word, and kept backing away so that he could see it more clearly.
The delicate filaments swayed and hung down, their tips reaching into the clouds. From afar, the night sky looked as if a vast and gentle golden rain had fallen.
For some reason, the melody of the song she had just heard automatically popped into Sher's head.
Amarantine, Love is always love, the eternal flower, true love is as eternal as it.
She forgot that Shi Jinzhe's skill was split in two, and his form would naturally be affected by the impact of her rule power.
The Crystal Orchid, a flower that grows on decaying ground, is pure white, yet it cannot survive independently and remains hidden in darkness year-round.
Sher wasn't sure if it was an accident, but the flower and some of Shi Jinzhe's traits unexpectedly matched.
A faint smile appeared on her lips. This family, each with their own generational hierarchy and appearance, each had their own unique characteristics.
Sheh kept her promise and earnestly called him "husband" three times. Although it wasn't what she expected, she was still very moved and thought it might work.
The magical plant that stretched straight to the sky was so eye-catching that players who didn't have any quests tonight opened their windows, stood there dumbfounded, and wondered if they were seeing things.
The neighbors next door also looked out, and, feeling they couldn't see far enough, they even dug out their binoculars.
"Oh my god!" He threw the binoculars away and took several steps back.
The neighbor was wondering what had happened when they saw the legendary snake...
He climbed the tree!
"Huh... so it's a love story between different species?"
"Isn't this something we already knew?"
"Cultivation novels are truly accurate; there really are ancient divine beasts guarding the best immortal herbs."
"I bet those cultivation novels never told you they were a couple. So don't hurt the flowers, plants, or little snakes anymore."
