Inside the room, Zhu Yi and Su Linyuan looked at each other, feeling somewhat awkward.
In the end, Su Linyuan decided to speak his mind.
Zhu Yi looked intently at the big man in front of her, stammering, and finally managed to say, "I will take good care of you."
She was a little disappointed; she couldn't very well be asked to confess her feelings as a girl, could she?
Su Linyuan looked at the girl's slightly downcast eyes and seemed to understand something. He took off a small black rope necklace from his neck, which was adorned with a snake scale as clear and bright as black jade.
He placed his scales in Zhu Yi's hands and said gently, "Yi'er, I am not a normal human."
Zhu Yi's heart skipped a beat. She knew he was a spirit snake in this life. What did he want to say to her?
Such a serious tone suggests that what follows is not going to be pleasant.
"Well, then what?"
"My father was an ordinary little black snake in the Spirit Serpent Clan. Many years ago, he was seriously injured while shedding his skin and undergoing a tribulation. He fell from the cultivation world to the mortal world and was rescued by my mother."
Zhu Yi understood; this was probably a story about a beautiful woman saving a spirit snake.
"Later they fell in love and I was born, so I am half human and half snake. Are you afraid?"
"I've seen you before, you look like a little black snake. I even fed you eggs in Lotus Lake!"
Well, that's another case of someone speaking without thinking.
Su Linyuan was slightly stunned for a moment, then quickly adjusted his expression to hide his joy.
He said, "I'm not that ugly, am I?"
Zhu Yi smiled and asked, "Was that little black cat really you?"
The girl's teasing tone, which she already knew the answer to, was really too much for Su Linyuan to handle.
Without realizing it, it revealed its true form, with its thick, long, black tail coiled under the bed.
Zhu Yi followed the gaze and mischievously touched the snake's belly.
The position below.
Su Linyuan's face flushed red, like a ripe apple, his eyes bulged straight up, and his voice was a little hoarse: "Don't move, something bad will happen."
"What is it? I don't understand." Zhu Yi smiled happily, but in fact she didn't touch anything. It was just that the scales were cold and a little prickly.
Why are you so shy?
"What happened next? What's the connection with these scales?" Zhu Yi asked, as she was quite interested in Su Linyuan's parents in this life.
A love story between a beautiful, delicate snake demon and an ordinary mortal girl.
It should end up like the Legend of the White Snake, where the White Snake Lady is imprisoned in Leifeng Pagoda.
Su Linyuan is so grown up now, he must have a very happy family.
"They lived in seclusion in a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters. My mother was originally just waiting in the mortal world for the imperial concubine selection. Later, she developed feelings for my father and begged him to fake her death and leave with her."
"Later, after they settled down, my father brought my mother's family over as well."
Zhu Yi frowned and asked tentatively, "Su Linyuan, are you sure this isn't some domineering snake demon forcibly taking away a noble lady?"
"Huh?" Su Linyuan didn't know that in Zhu Yi's previous life, human trafficking was rampant, so it was no wonder that Zhu Yi was overthinking it.
Su Linyuan seemed to realize something was wrong, and smiled, saying, "You'll know whether I'm telling the truth or not once you see them."
Zhu Yi couldn't stand Su Linyuan's seemingly helpless yet indulgent smile, and sniffled, "Oh."
"And what is this?"
“In our Serpent Clan, when a man gives a girl a piece of his first molted scale, it signifies that he wants to spend his life with her and become her husband.”
Would you be willing to accept it?
Zhu Yi paused for a moment, thinking to herself, "You're quite something."
"Then what's the use of this?" Zhu Yi herself didn't realize that there was an imperceptible air of reserve and arrogance in her voice.
"Hmm, it can save lives when used in medicine?" Su Linyuan also tried to be a little humorous, "With it, I can sense you in danger immediately, and you can use this to find me anytime."
Zhu Yi was secretly pleased, but still maintained her affected manner, saying, "I'll accept the good stuff, but I don't need to see you all the time."
The little girl packed things up quickly; the black jade scales, still warm from Su Linyuan's body, replaced the ruby storage ring given to her by her master.
"You're just saying that." Su Linyuan smiled, his dark eyes sparkling like a sky full of stars, making it impossible to look away.
Although Zhu Yi already knew about the entanglement between the two of them from past lives, it was still her first time truly experiencing love.
She now feels as if she possesses something, yet nothing has changed.
So, Zhu Yi made a very generous move: she gently climbed onto Su Linyuan's chest, looked up and kissed his blushing cheek.
It's like a butterfly gently landing on a petal, lingering there for a fleeting moment; you wouldn't even notice it if you weren't paying close attention.
The girl's soft lips possessed a profound magic. Su Linyuan longed to lower his head and taste them in the same way, but fearing that his actions might be abrupt, he held her tightly in his arms.
The snake's tail beneath him was tightly coiled, concealing some turbulent undercurrent, but for now, this kind of pleasure was truly blissful.
