No, I can't just sit here and wait for death. What if this thing really uses her to threaten Long Xiao, or even attacks him?
Although I have great confidence in Long Xiao, I still have to be prepared for the worst.
Fubao thought for a moment, looked at him and asked, "I've been here for so long, and you said that you and I knew each other before and that you liked me, but I don't even know your name now."
"You want to know my name?" Black Snake's eyes seemed to light up all of a sudden, "Are you interested in me?"
Fubao's mouth twitched. How could this guy not be narcissistic?
"Whether you are interested in me or not, you know my name but I know nothing about you. This is unreasonable, right? After all, we are friends in this damn place together."
The black snake laughed, and in the time it took Fubao to blink, it suddenly turned into a human, still with that charming face, and a noble purple robe embroidered with gold. It looked extremely expensive.
However, no matter how handsome he was, he was still hideous in Fubao's eyes.
Moreover, after meeting Long Xiao, she no longer felt any attraction to other men, no matter how good-looking they were. In short, she no longer felt the same shock and amazement as when she first met Long Xiao.
The man slowly walked up to her, separated from her by a transparent glass wall. He raised his red lips and smiled, "That's right, you forgot about me, I should introduce myself to you again. My name is Zi Yu, and I used to be the king of the snake tribe in the demon world."
Zi Yu, Fu Bao tried hard to recall, but couldn't remember anything.
"Oh, then how did I meet you?"
"It's a long story. When I was still a little snake, I sneaked out of the Underworld and sneaked all the way to the Royal City. At that time, the Demon Lord was not Long Xiao, but his father."
"I was young at the time and was the next Snake King. I was fearless and ran around everywhere. I got into a lot of trouble, but I didn't take it seriously. Until one day, I suddenly had to go through a tribulation. At that time, three lightning bolts would strike me and I had to survive. At that time, my strength would increase significantly, but after the tribulation, I would become extremely weak."
"At that time, I didn't know how I broke into your backyard. The last bolt of lightning struck and broke the wall of your backyard into pieces. You ran out with your mother and saw me lying on the ground, dying."
Fubao looked at it intently, somewhat surprised.
"I saw it was just a small black snake. You saw I looked like I was about to die and wanted to save me. Your mother tried her best to stop me, saying that snakes were disgusting creatures and would hurt you. She even asked someone to come and beat me to death and throw me out."
As Zi Yu was talking, he fell into memories, as if he was feeling something beautiful. He lowered his eyes and smiled, "But you insisted on saving me, saying that even if I was a snake, I was still a life and how could I be beaten to death. You took me back regardless of the objection and took good care of me until I got better. If it weren't for you, I might have been beaten to death."
He raised his eyes and looked at Fubao, with complicated emotions surging in his eyes.
"I...actually saved you?" Fubao was surprised.
"Yes, I have been with you for more than a month. During that time, you came to see me every day, talked to me, and brought me food and drinks. You were very kind to me."
"So, when I went back later, I couldn't stop thinking about you, and my heart fell on you. I thought that after I became the Snake King, I would come back to ask your parents for marriage. But later I found out that you were engaged to the noble prince of the demon world at that time, and you were going to marry him and become his queen in the future, so I had to give up."
"The prince of the demon world?" Another person Fu Bao had never heard of. "Is it Long Xiao?"
"It's not him. The prince is the eldest son of the Demon Lord. Who is Long Xiao? He is just an illegitimate child born to a slave. The Demon Lord doesn't like him at all."
"Also, although you are engaged to the prince, you are very close to Long Xiao and often meet with him in private. I saw it all."
"..." Fubao fell silent and listened carefully.
Although I don't know whether what he said is true or not, it is very likely to be true. After all, it's time now and there is no need for him to lie to her.
It turns out that I used to have that kind of relationship with Long Xiao.
She has roughly understood that in her previous life, she must not have liked that prince, but liked Long Xiao, so they often met secretly, right?
"What happened next?" she pressed, eager to know what happened in the past.
Zi Yu continued, "Later, when the day of your wedding to the Crown Prince came and the entire Demon Realm was immersed in celebration, no one expected that Long Xiao would snatch the bride away!"
Rob...rob a wedding?!
Fubao was very surprised.
"Who would have thought that the illegitimate child who had always been unknown and the least favored could actually mobilize so many soldiers and generals. No one knew when he won over so many people. Moreover, his power was so strong that he defeated the prince without much effort and even killed his way into the palace with his head in his hand, forcing the then Demon Lord to abdicate and give the throne to him. You say he, if he didn't make a name for himself, he would be amazing once he did."
"Also, when he becomes the Demon Lord, he will take you for himself. You who should have been the Crown Princess will become his Queen. How absurd."
Zi Yu said, his expression suddenly turned sarcastic, staring at her intently, "When I saw him occupy you, I was thinking, how could a lowly illegitimate child kill his brother and usurp the throne, and also take you, the most beautiful woman in the demon world, as his own? Then I am the king of the snake clan, an upright king, and I also like you, why can't I marry you?"
Fubao's mouth twitched again.
No...no way?
He said she was the most beautiful woman in the demon world?
How was that possible? She felt that her appearance was above average at best, and she couldn't even be ranked among the many fairies in heaven.
How come she is so beautiful in the demon world?
"You said I was the most beautiful woman. Are you kidding me?"
"I'm telling the truth, you are." Zi Yu moved closer to her and stared at her little face carefully, "It's just that... you are still young and haven't grown up yet. When you grow up, you will be able to bear that title. Think about it yourself, a woman who can be liked by the most honorable prince of the demon world and that illegitimate son must be the most beautiful woman in the entire demon world."
Hearing him say this, Fubao suddenly became curious about what he would look like when he grew up.
When she was in the heaven, she had always maintained the appearance of being fifteen or sixteen years old, and had not yet grown up...
No, now is not the time to think about that.
Fu Bao shook off that thought and continued, "So, how did you and Long Xiao become enemies? You just said it was because of something about me?"
