Whenever the little snakes bite each other, there will be poisoning incidents. It's normal for them to have a little bit of antidote grass on them. It should be enough to deal with the snake venom that the chief accidentally ingested. Only the young snakes can crawl into the small hole he dug, and they don't have to worry about being discovered.
Soon, Little Flower Snake finished the important task assigned by Yu Ling and ran away with the grass, muttering to herself, "Priest brother forgot again that my name is Snake Painting and not Little Flower..."
As for whether the other little snakes betrayed him? Judging from their wide-eyed stares, they knew that their desire to hear the story was more appealing than the task he had given the little flower snake. There was no need to worry about keeping it a secret; they hadn't heard a word he said.
"Alright, I have something to discuss with your Serpent Flame Lord. I'll tell you stories another time. Go play by yourself~" Yu Ling said and then slipped away. Telling stories was really tiring. The side quests from the Serpent Clan could be completed in a few more days, so there was no need to keep pushing herself so hard.
The remaining snakes looked at each other, puzzled by Yu Ling's hasty arrival and departure.
"The priest wants to see Lord Serpentflame. So late? Shouldn't it be the rabbit clan's rest time at night?"
"Huh? The Rabbit Priest wants to stay up all night looking for Lord Serpent Flame? What could be more important than sleep?"
"Speaking of which, didn't Water Serpent Rice mention earlier that he overheard Lord Serpent Flame telling the Rabbit Priest to spend the night with him while he was playing in the river? We laughed at him for mishearing. Could it be... that it's true?"
Snake Rice, who was called out, raised her head and snorted coldly: "I told you there was no way I could have misheard. It was you who insisted on saying that rabbits and snakes can't be together!"
"How can anyone believe something you just heard out of the blue?!"
"......."
Then, the little snakes began to discuss with great interest whether worshipping the Beast God would allow them to fall in love across tribes, enabling male beastmen to have offspring, and what kind of eggs rabbits and snakes would lay, among other topics.
Thus, without Yu Ling's knowledge, his reputation was tarnished once again.
After Yu Ling finished preparing the antidote for the wolf clan chief, she considered her mission complete. As long as the chief survived, the old priest probably wouldn't blame her, and Wolf Gu would help her with side quests. Everything would be alright. Relieved, she decided not to release the snake flame pigeons and went back to the snake hole she had just been in.
Upon entering, one sees the raging Serpent Flame, in its orc form, crawling in the shadows.
Is it angry because it thinks I ran away? Are all snakes like this when they get angry?
Yu Ling wasn't sure, but the system in her mind said that when dealing with a mentally fragile snake spirit, a hug could bring him back to normal. So, Yu Ling turned into her beastman form with some skepticism and gave Snake Flame a hug from behind.
...It's a little uncomfortable...
Why do the clothes of snake people become as stiff as scales after they turn into beastmen?
Snake Flame was trying to reason with himself when Yu Ling suddenly pulled this stunt, ruining all his efforts. He stiffly turned around, grabbed the little white rabbit who had come to him again, and then immediately pulled away as if he had been electrocuted.
"Are you... alright?" How do I treat a snakebite attack? I need help urgently.
Snake Flame frowned, frantically telling himself that this rabbit looked no different from before. He hadn't liked the rabbit before, so he definitely didn't like it now either. He just wanted to pet it, which didn't count as giving it any special treatment. That must be it!
The combination of body-refining techniques and the Longevity Turtle Breathing Method is increasingly bringing her closer to the natural world. Having also served as the World Tree for several days, her affinity with the snake is gradually reaching its maximum without her realizing it. Unaware of this, Yu Ling wonders: Why is this snake just staring at me without making a sound?
Snake Flame turned his face away and let out a long sigh. In the end, he transformed back into his true form, using the red of his scales to conceal himself, and said:
"Ah, well, let's get down to business. And let's make this clear, you're not allowed to bring up any other topics this time!"
Yu Ling: Turning the tables! The wicked snake is accusing you first! Who's really spouting nonsense?!
Seeing the little rabbit just staring at him with its big, red eyes and nodding blankly (speechless), Snake Flame was once again stung. Sure enough, the rabbit clan only gets accepted by the lion and wolf clans by being cute!
"First, let's talk about the Lion Clan. Besides using that female to befriend several Eagle Clan tribes, which other tribes have they fallen out with?"
Yu Ling: "There are quite a few tribes that don't get along, like your snake tribe. Among the other tribes, the fox tribe is probably the one with the most serious conflicts..."
The fox clan is full of beautiful women, and it's rare to find one with more females than males. They value beauty above all else, so the female lead is completely ignored and receives no special treatment. Not only does she not receive any special treatment, but she also offends the pampered and vengeful fox, Fox Beauty, by picking flowers indiscriminately. It's only natural that she would clash with the lion clan, who are backing her up.
"Alright, let's see if the fox clan has anything we can take advantage of. I have some items that only the lion clan possesses; we can use that to frame the lion clan..."
As Yu Ling and She Yan finally began their underhanded schemes, plotting against the unfortunate Lion Clan, Little Flower Snake, carrying the antidote herb, successfully infiltrated the Wolf Clan through the hole Yu Ling had dug.
When he heard a rustling sound from the ground, Lang Gu thought it was Yu Ling returning. Before he could express his gratitude, he saw a young flower snake emerge from the burrow. Two herbs were coiled around its tail, the antidote herbs he had used last time.
"It was the Rabbit Priest who asked me to deliver this to you."
The little snake knew nothing of racial hatred, nor did it know that the creature before it had been bitten by one of its own kind and harbored resentment towards snakes. It even greeted the snake sweetly.
"I originally intended to bite it to deliver this, but I was afraid you'd get my venom again, so I used my tail to curl it up. It might be a little dirty, but you can wash it off~ Well, now that I've delivered the goods, I'll head home now, goodbye Big Wolf!"
Wolf Gu had no intention of venting his anger on such a small snake, but seeing her about to leave, he hurriedly stopped her and asked, "Wait, what about the rabbit?"
"You mean Brother Rabbit Priest? He's still with our clan. I heard from Snake Rice that Lord Snake Flame captured Brother Rabbit and wants him to spend the night with him. But I don't believe it. They probably have something to talk about. Maybe Brother Rabbit will go back tomorrow?"
The little snake had also heard the rumors, but she was still young and naive, so naturally she wouldn't think of anything inappropriate.
After listening, Lang Gu first ruled out the correct answer and chose to believe the lewd words "spend one night with him". After all, in his heart, he was not surprised by anything those snake clan members who loved to play dirty tricks would do.
He had no idea that a little white rabbit had been added to the scheme, secretly making a vow in his heart.
—Rabbit, you sacrificed so much to save the clan leader, I, Wolf, will always remember your kindness!
