Chapter 20 A Little Kitten Who's Always Been Strong
So, working backwards, she really did eat the flowers and leaves!
"If I apologize to him, is there any chance he'll let me go?" Ye Kemeng was in pain all over, but she still tried her best to discuss solutions with 666.
She only ate a leaf, not the whole flower. As a dignified dragon head, can't you be a little more generous?
The rest is self-explanatory; Ye Kemeng understands.
There is absolutely no possibility of reconciliation.
I, the cat, am afraid my days are numbered.
But the cat still tried to struggle.
The dragon head finally exhaled its breath.
As the first wave of dragon roars ended, Ye Kemeng, caught off guard, fell off the fence and slammed her forehead on the ground. She was immediately dizzy and saw stars, and her body felt like it was falling apart.
But the dragon head quickly launched another attack.
Completely exhausted, Ye Kemeng crashed heavily into the fence once again.
Even through the incredibly sturdy walls of the dungeon, Ye Kemeng could still clearly sense the fury of this nine-aperture exquisite flower-leaf companion beast.
I really want to tear her apart alive!
A moment later, realizing that it was the sound of a load-bearing column cracking, Ye Kemeng felt a chill run down her spine. Compared to the enormous crisis, the pain she was experiencing was just a drop in the ocean.
Perhaps because the powerful skeleton guards were all busy dealing with the 'attack on the Venerable One,' the skeletons in the dungeon were no match for the dragon head.
If this 'impregnable' dungeon were to be breached, she would have nowhere to escape.
She bent her elbows and leaned against the railing, trembling as she looked sideways for the dungeon key from Gu Qingli.
"We need to get out of here right away..."
This posture is really too difficult. Gu Qingli couldn't even get her keys out after a long time.
In the end, Ye Kemeng and Bai Lingyu struggled to her side and shielded her from the wind for a long time before they were able to get the key out.
Then, the three of them lay across the dungeon bars in three strange and awkward positions, clumsily trying to open the cell door.
Because the fall was so sudden, the key that was stuck in the keyhole fell out and hit the ground.
The next instant, the dragon head attacked again!
The three of them crashed back onto the fence, and the key flew out through the gap and hit the stone wall on the other side!
Ye Kemeng's outstretched arm fell into the air, and her heart skipped a beat.
For a long while, none of the three spoke.
Amidst the whistling and chirping, the 'crackling' sound was quite distinct.
All three of them strained to look up in the direction of the sound.
Gu Qingli's pupils constricted, and she cried out in alarm, "The roof is going to crack!"
Ye Kemeng had never felt death so close before!
Even when they were being chased by the Black Tide and jumped off a cliff, it wasn't as dangerous as it is now.
Her inherent, kitten-like stubbornness burst forth, and she stretched out one arm, trying to reach for the key.
Ye Kemeng tried to inhale, tighten her abdomen, inhale...
The key was just three inches, two inches, one... one?
etc.
A thin black snake slithered from the wall, seemingly unaffected by the strong wind, strolling leisurely.
Ye Kemeng recognized it instantly; it was the same one she and Phoenix had encountered in the Void.
Later, this vengeful snake followed her to the academy and almost attacked her in the back mountain.
Then, on the night her talent awakened, without her even realizing it, her spirit entered the Black Serpent's space and watched helplessly as he transformed from a black-haired, black-eyed person into a lifeless 'dead' snake.
Now that he's 'alive' again, Ye Kemeng thinks that the snake was indeed faking death. Luckily, she was cautious and wasn't fooled.
Can……
Now she's being attacked by the dragon's head, and in front of her is this snake with whom she has an old grudge...
Heaven is going to destroy me.
"6! Why are the tasks in your system so difficult?! I can't survive this!"
That being said, in her desperation, Ye Kemeng poked her head out of the fence and lunged forward, trying to get the key before the black snake could.
In the blink of an eye, the black snake moved with lightning speed, using its tail to curl up the key.
Ye Kemeng's eyes widened in horror!
But then she saw a black snake crawl onto her fingertip, and then use her body to climb to the fence. The black snake didn't lower its head, but just casually flicked its tail, and the key was inserted into the lock.
The cell door opened the next moment.
Gu Qingli and Bai Lingyu were blown by the strong wind and slammed against the wall.
Ye Kemeng, stuck in the gap and unable to move: "..."
She gritted her teeth.
She swore she saw eyes on the black snake's head, and the mockery in those eyes!
I'm so angry!
"Senior Sister Ye."
Bai Lingyu and Gu Qingli tried to pull her away, but her strong-willed personality wouldn't allow the little kitten to be so pathetic in front of her enemies!
She tried to shrink her head back.
The ear cartilage rubbed against the fence and immediately turned red.
But the kitten didn't care.
Then, she forced herself to move to the door and was blown out through the doorway.
blacksnake:"……"
666: [...] Applause is due here.
The black snake leaped through the air and landed on Ye Kemeng's shoulder.
At the same time, Ye Kemeng smelled the familiar scent of blood.
This was clearly the fourth time the two of them had seen it. The first three times were all life-or-death situations, but Ye Kemeng could tell that the snake meant no harm.
So she didn't move it aside.
Seeing that Ye Kemeng didn't make a move, the black snake gradually became arrogant, coiling itself around her shoulder like a mosquito coil.
"Go straight ahead and turn right at the second intersection."
Gu Qingli was a little confused: "This..."
That's clearly a demonic serpent!
And how did it get into the ancient battlefield?
Wasn't it said that only demons at the Venerable level could enter the ancient battlefield without relying on external forces?
Demons at the Venerable level are generally like empresses or emperors in the celestial realm, and this snake doesn't look like a Venerable demon at all.
Bai Lingyu said, "Turning right at the second intersection is a dead end."
The black snake glanced at him sideways without offering any explanation.
Ye Kemeng had already started crawling forward. She said, "This snake has a lot of strange features. It just saved us, so it shouldn't kill us. Let's crawl over and take a look."
Unbeknownst to them, Ye Kemeng had become the backbone of the three of them.
Even though they knew it was a dead end, Bai and Gu still tried their best to keep up.
As she crawled, Ye Kemeng said to the black snake, "You have my scent on you. All over."
Black Snake froze, then heard Ye Kemeng ask him, "Why? Did you steal my clothes?"
The black snake's scales all popped up!
He was indeed going to die that day, but he was brought back to life because of the little girl's words, "This dream is so strange, how could a book kill a snake?"
That's why she can smell her own scent.
Besides, as the Demon Lord, he accepted all accusations of being bloodthirsty, ruthless, and cruel, treating mortal lives like dirt. But he couldn't bear the stigma of 'stealing little girls' clothes'!
"I, the, venerable, have, never, worn, women's, clothes." The black snake said, enunciating each word clearly.
