The little rabbit took out some wild vegetables it had picked along the way from its bosom, walked over to Ning Qing, and the two sat on a low tree stump, leaning against the tree, leisurely enjoying their dinner.
After finishing its dinner, the little rabbit looked towards the fire and rested its head on Ning Qing's lap.
Ning Qing lowered her head and smiled faintly, then raised her hand and gently stroked his long hair.
"What's wrong? Are you sleepy?"
The little rabbit nodded its head slightly.
The sound of his mouth opening was soft and gentle.
"Mmm, Master, I want to sleep."
Ning Qing continued stroking the fur.
"Go to sleep if you're tired, don't be afraid, I'm here for you."
The little rabbit gave a muffled reply and then fell into a deep sleep.
Ning Qing lowered her head and planted a kiss on his little head before closing her eyes.
Of course, in this perilous mountain forest, Ning Qing wouldn't actually fall asleep. She simply closed her eyes and quietly began to cultivate according to the methods described in the cultivation manual.
Only the bonfire burning brightly nearby remained, occasionally emitting a few crackling sounds.
Around midnight, Ning Qing keenly caught a deliberately light footstep.
They slowly approached this way.
Ning Qing curled her lips: "So, this is a two-legged animal."
Ning Qing wasn't in a hurry to open her eyes; she wanted to figure out the visitor's purpose first.
Then a young man's voice came from beside him.
"Gentlemen, I pay my respects."
Ning Qing: Oh, and the one who came was a polite scholar?
The system, which hadn't spoken for a long time, finally chimed in at this moment.
System: No, he's a snake demon disguised as a scholar.
Ning Qing raised an eyebrow: How did you find out?
System: I just did a full-body scan on him and detected it.
Ning Qing: Is the snake demon out hunting for food in the dead of night instead of sleeping?
The system nodded in agreement, replying with a hint of schadenfreude: "Perhaps it sees the host as a delicious midnight snack."
Ning Qing raised an eyebrow again: I'm so scared! How about we throw you out first and let him have you as a midnight snack, so we can buy some time to escape?
The system cat's face froze: My little body isn't even big enough to fill someone's teeth, and he probably wouldn't even look at my little body.
Ning Qing disagreed, saying: No, no, no, even a mosquito is still meat, let alone you, a cat!
The system couldn't help but mutter to itself: This host is really not human.
The snake demon saw that the two people sleeping on the tree stump showed no signs of waking up.
A glint of greed and resentment flashed in his eyes, and a sinister smile appeared on his face.
It flicked out a red snake tongue, then quickly withdrew it.
He approached slowly, step by step, his gaze never leaving Ning Qing and the other person.
Just as he stopped a few steps away from the tree stump, Ning Qing quickly took out the Demon-Binding Rope from his spatial storage and threw it towards the snake demon.
The serpent demon, with a ferocious expression, was raising its hand to launch a surprise attack on Ning Qing, who was still asleep, when it was caught off guard and was tightly bound by the demon-binding rope.
The snake demon's expression changed drastically; he knew in his heart that he had been tricked.
His first reaction was to turn around and try to escape, and he struggled desperately.
However, the Demon-Binding Rope has a unique characteristic: the more one struggles, the tighter it binds.
Just when the snake demon saw no hope of breaking free, it turned its gaze to Ning Qing.
But before he could even speak...
Ning Qing covered the little rabbit's ears with both hands and spoke first in a low voice.
"Shut up".
After saying that, he looked down to see if the little rabbit showed any signs of being woken up.
Ning Qing smiled after seeing the little rabbit sleeping soundly and hearing a soft snore.
