As Zhao Er's footsteps drew closer, Nan Zhi held her breath, intending to deliver a fatal blow when he opened the bag.
But to her surprise, she smelled a familiar scent.
It is the preface to the story of Shen Huai.
She closed her eyes and remained motionless.
Zhao Er opened the bag and took out the dying little black snake. Just as he was about to take out a knife to skin it, he was hit hard from behind by a wooden stick.
His eyes widened, and he fell to the side, hitting the ground as if he had fainted.
He was still clutching the small black snake in his hand. When he saw the wounds on the snake, Shen Huaixu's pupils involuntarily contracted slightly, and a cold killing intent flashed in his eyes, too fast to catch.
He pried open Zhao Er's hand and took out the little black snake.
He hid the little black snake in his sleeve, turned and left, but before he had taken a few steps, he heard a roar.
"Dare to ambush me? I'll kill you!"
Zhao Er hadn't fainted at all. At this moment, he rushed over with the knife that had fallen to the side. His anger made him lose his mind, and he raised the knife in his hand to slash at Shen Huaixu.
Shen Huaixu turned his head and looked at the knife that was about to fall, but his dark eyes remained completely calm.
His eyes widened in surprise when he suddenly felt a lightness in his sleeve and a dark shadow darted out before him, lunging at the knife.
A strong sense of panic made his whole body stiffen, rendering him unable to move.
Everything seemed to have returned to what it was ten years ago.
Ten years ago, he rescued a snow-white cat.
I'm keeping it secretly.
It liked to stick close to him, adding a bit of interest to his boring life.
Later, the cat disappeared, and when he found it, it was lying on the dinner plate.
Shen Yunfan smiled at him for the first time ever: "Shen Huaixu, the cat you've been raising tastes pretty good. Here, take this leg!"
At that moment, he was also stiff all over, like a corpse, and died along with the cat.
He couldn't save the cat ten years ago, and now he can't save the snake either?
Only when he saw the little black snake avoid the kitchen knife and bite Zhao Er's wrist did his body slowly return to normal.
"hiss!"
Zhao Er gasped in pain, flung the little black snake away, and it fell to the ground, limp and motionless.
He was still not satisfied and took a knife to chop it up.
But the toxins were rapidly spreading through his body, and he was terrified. He quickly buried his head in his wound and began sucking out the poisonous blood.
When he regained some clarity, the black snake and Shen Huaixu were nowhere to be seen in the house.
Shen Huaixu closed the door, walked quickly to the table, and took the little black snake out of his sleeve.
The usually active little black snake was now lying motionless on the table, its eyes closed, its life or death unknown.
He touched its head, but it no longer rubbed against his palm like it used to.
Are you dead?
His voice was somewhat hoarse.
There was no response.
His fingers slowly clenched, and something seemed to be churning in his dark eyes.
[Ding! Shen Huaixu's corruption level has reached 100%!]
A system warning sounded in my head.
At the same time, the good news came that the favorability rating had increased by 80%.
Looking at the points that have increased to two thousand.
Nan Zhi never expected that Shen Huaixu would be so afraid of her death.
Seeing that the man's dark side was too strong, and fearing that he might perish together with Zhao Eryu in order to avenge her, Nanzhi quickly opened her eyes and rubbed against the guy who seemed to be on the verge of collapse.
Shen Huaixu's eyelashes trembled slightly, and when their eyes met, Nanzhi saw the joy in his eyes.
In fact, if it weren't for those past experiences, he could have been a sunny and cheerful young man.
She wanted to see his smile, so she braced her aching body and slowly climbed up his wrist.
She looked up at him and saw him reach out and pat her head. The trust and affection in his eyes were something she had never seen when she was a human.
She was very happy, raised her head higher, and rubbed her face against his.
This time, he showed no impatience and let her rub against him.
Later, he went outside for a long time and brought back some herbs for her. He crushed them and applied them to her body.
"From now on, you are not allowed to run around or bite people randomly."
He suddenly spoke.
Nanzhi paused, then looked up at him.
“She is hateful, but…” He stared at her intently, remaining silent for a long time before slowly continuing, “It’s not worth losing your life for her.”
Nanzhi knew he was talking about her, and she was a little annoyed, so she mentally drew a circle and cursed him.
He stroked the red snake scales on her head, his voice suddenly softening: "From now on, you'll be called Moyu."
Shen Huaixu didn't sleep well all night. He kept opening his eyes and looking at the little black snake he had placed on the plate next to him.
The little black snake, who is usually very affectionate towards him, spent the whole night curled up in the plate, its body covered in wounds, its eyelids drooping listlessly.
He would stare at it, and sometimes reach out to touch its head and call its name.
The little black snake would also respond to him.
He spent the night like this, and as dawn broke, he began to feel drowsy. But no sooner had he closed his eyes than there was a knock at the door.
"Shen Huaixu, come out here, the young lady is looking for you."
Shen Huaixu propped himself up and glanced at the plate beside him. The little black snake that had been coiled there was now empty.
His mind cleared instantly, and he searched the entire bed but couldn't find it.
The knocking on the door grew louder and louder, as if they were about to break down the door.
Shen Huaixu frowned slightly and could only go to open the door first.
Nan Zhi was really injured last night. Although she exchanged points to relieve the pain, she stayed up most of the night and was really tired.
