The lifespan of demons is too long; ten or a hundred years is just a blink of an eye. A group of great demons who have lived for countless years are already used to it.
But Yin Huan was different. Luo Mang occupied a large part of her life, and the depth of her feelings for him was beyond the comprehension of outsiders. She desperately wanted Luo Mang to come back, but it didn't matter if he didn't; she could go find him herself.
Just like when she came down from Fuding Mountain to find him.
Yin Huan was somewhat disappointed. She knew how crucial the inheritance was to a demon cultivator... but after discovering that everyone in the prison had conspired to deceive her, the urge to find Luo Mang intensified.
That evening, after the zoo closed and locked up, Silver Ring wagged its tail and listlessly went to the iron cage.
Silver Ring curled her little tail, tilted her head, and glanced at the green python that appeared in the iron cage at the same time as her every day.
She quickly turned her head, and a glint of calculation flashed in her eyes.
She pursed her lips, flicked her tail, and came to the green python's cage. She squatted down and looked into the python's eyes: "Big snake, what grudge do you have against my elder brother?"
Ever since that day when he whipped the Green Python, Silver Ring had subconsciously avoided it. Not for any other reason than the strange feeling that welled up in his chest when he was about to be whipped to death.
Yin Huan felt that there seemed to be some kind of connection between the green python and her.
This feeling was similar to her elder brother's tribulation, and his unwilling shout made her unable to control herself. A strong sense of unease welled up inside her, and she didn't want him to die.
She had a deep bond with her elder brother and didn't want him to die. But the Green Python... she didn't know him, and he was also her brother's enemy. There was no reason for her to have that kind of illusion.
But that very day, that feeling just came through.
Silver Ring didn't really want to interact with the Green Python, but in the past two weeks she had come to understand. In the entire prison, only this new, large snake wasn't on the same path as the group of people who had deceived her.
Perhaps she can get something out of him?
The green python raised its eyes, glanced at the silver ring with a complicated expression, then lowered its head again: "Didn't he tell you?"
This was the first time the green python had spoken to the silver ring since it was whipped.
He felt uneasy and wanted to stay away, but a voice in his mind kept reminding him to come closer, to come closer, because this was the person he was destined to protect.
But... he no longer has the heart to protect.
The so-called protection was nothing more than a hazy illusion from childhood.
After Luo Mang absorbed that drop of essence blood, the protective force in his heart vanished into thin air. He remembered, but he wasn't attached to it. He never even tried to find that person.
Yin Huan didn't answer him: "I heard my elder brother say that he has a great enemy. That enemy is you, isn't it?"
"An enemy... indeed an enemy." The green python sneered, then paused and said, "I have an irreconcilable feud with him, a fight to the death?"
“But my elder brother is now a Teng Snake, and you are a snake. You are not as good as him in terms of bloodline, so you can’t beat him.” Yin Huan didn’t care about Qing Mang’s tone at all. She was still looking at him, her eyes flickering.
"He's not your elder brother... How can you call him elder brother? He's just your guardian beast." Hearing Silver Ring repeatedly call Luo Mang "brother," Green Python couldn't help but say angrily.
A divine pet, which its owner calls "brother".
Luo Mang is extremely rebellious.
Silver Ring paused, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes, and asked uncertainly, "A guardian beast?"
It seems we've discovered something incredible.
People in the prison all say that the eldest brother is Tengshe, of noble lineage, a divine beast under the command of Nuwa...
Wait, a divine beast under Nuwa's command? A guardian beast?
As if struck by a sudden realization, a flash of insight struck Yin Huan. Her large eyes lit up, as if she had discovered the truth…
Silver Ring looked at the Green Python, pointing at herself with her little paw, and said with a look of horror in her eyes, "You're not going to say that I'm Nuwa? And that Big Brother is my guardian beast, are you?"
The green python remained silent, its gaze fixed on the silver ring. But the message conveyed in its eyes was unequivocal.
The Azure Python had no lineage to inherit, and it also lost the opportunity to enhance the Teng Snake's bloodline. Many truths had long been concealed. All his knowledge was merely speculation derived from his own experiences and the form of the Silver Ring.
Silver Ring lowered its little paws, stood up, looked around blankly for a moment, then turned back to threaten Green Python: "Don't tell anyone about our conversation."
After saying that, it flicked its tail and dashed into its little house.
After returning to the cabin, Yinhuan pulled out her phone from under her pillow, and then quickly typed the words "Nuwa" into the phone with her little paws.
I've been so distracted lately that I completely forgot about the amazing tool that is mobile phone search. How stupid of me! If I wanted to know my identity, I could just type "human-bodied, snake-tailed species" into my phone and find the information.
Yin Huan took out her phone, found a Baidu Encyclopedia entry, and began to read it carefully.
Yin Huan knew nothing about "Nuwa". From beginning to end, she didn't even know what Nuwa looked like. What she heard most was about Nuwa mending the sky.
On her phone, the image of Nuwa surprised Yinhuan slightly. She put down her phone, straightened her little tail, and carefully compared it with the picture.
After a long while, Yin Huan opened her small mouth and exhaled two deep breaths.
Thank goodness, it's not what I thought!
I am not Nuwa...
Nuwa looks very tall and like an adult, but she looks like a little kid and is obviously not Nuwa.
Moreover, the encyclopedia says that Nuwa was a saint who could mold people from clay and was one of the most powerful people in the world. She was very awesome!
Although her own form was somewhat similar to hers, she was self-aware enough to know that she was too useless to even make a toilet seat, let alone a person out of clay.
Wow, that was terrifying!
Yin Huan touched her small chest, turned her head, and looked curiously outside the hut.
Those monsters are treating her so well, could it be that they all think of her as "Nuwa"? What a bunch of idiots! Does she look like Nuwa? Does she?
but....
Yin Huan stroked her chin and chuckled to herself: Since you all treat me like Nuwa, then... I won't be polite!
Author's Note: Silver Ring is gradually becoming smarter, but as smart as she is, she's still just a self-centered little smarty... Her personality won't change too much. Don't worry, dear readers, that Silver Ring's intelligence will cause her to lose her innocence.
