By the time Jiang Li caught the fish, the three little ones had already become excited.
After quickly cleaning a few of the fish, they placed them over the fire.
At this time, Guo Xia came up slowly and smiled at Jiang Li with bared teeth.
"Jiang Li, do you need my help?"
Jiang Li pointed at the fish in the hands of the three children and said, "Please help clean the fish in their hands."
"Okay!" Guo Xia answered happily and went to help clean the fish.
Jiang Li then remembered someone, raised his head and looked around, but did not see him.
"Guo Xia, where is Ye Yao?" she asked casually.
Guo Xia raised his head slightly, but his hands did not stop scraping the fish scales.
"Someone just came and asked him to take care of some things."
Jiang Li nodded, said "oh" softly, and didn't ask any more questions.
Soon, the fish on the fire gave off a fragrant smell. Several fish were roasted.
Jiang Li stuffed the roasted fish into the hands of the three little ones and Guo Xia.
"Jiang Li, I don't want to eat." He just came to help.
Just as he was about to stuff the fish back, Jiang Li reached out to stop him.
"You helped us, so eat some more."
Guo Xia looked at the grilled fish in his hand and hesitated slightly.
Seeing that he didn't eat anything, Sanxiao poked Guo Xia gently with his little hand.
"The grilled fish my sister made is delicious."
“Yes, yes, yes.”
Seeing that the three little ones also strongly recommended it, Guo Xia agreed with a smile.
"Okay, I'll try it then."
Guo Xia took a bite and found it was just as the three little ones said, with good color, aroma and taste. He finished it all in a few bites.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, they lay down under a big tree to enjoy the cool breeze, with a slight breeze blowing from time to time.
Jiang Li touched her bulging belly and the corners of her lips slightly raised.
Today was the happiest day she had had in the past few decades.
Guo Xia, who was standing by, saw Jiang Li with one hand on her bulging belly. He slowly opened his mouth and asked about the doubts in his mind.
"Jiang Li, are you pregnant?"
She is already pregnant and anyone with a discerning eye can see it.
Facing Guo Xia's words, Jiang Li did not hide anything.
"yes."
The three laughing ones had already transformed into animal forms and were fast asleep.
Guo Xia was slightly stunned and joked, "You are quite honest. It seems that Ye Yao has become the third party."
Jiang Li smiled faintly and said nothing.
The two of them were just forced together by the Snake King, and it is still unknown what will happen to them in the future.
She won't stay here forever.
Just as Guo Xia was asking who the father of Jiang Li's child was, a soldier came in front of the two of them and blocked the glaring sunlight.
Guo Xia and Jiang Li slowly sat up with their hands on the ground and looked at the soldiers in confusion.
"The king asked me to invite Jiang Li over."
"good."
Jiang Li stood up and gave Guo Xia some instructions before leaving.
"Please help me look after them."
Guo Xia nodded in agreement.
Jiang Li followed the soldiers and came to the place where the snake king lived.
Fortunately, the distance was not very far, otherwise, in such hot weather, she would probably die of heat on the way.
The Snake King’s residence was as secluded as Ye Yao’s, and next to it was a bamboo house with its doors and windows closed.
Jiang Li looked at the bamboo house in surprise and stopped.
After all, all the dwellings here are caves, and the sudden appearance of a bamboo house attracted her attention.
The soldier walking in front felt that the person behind him had stopped, so he also paused and turned slightly.
"What is this place used for?" Jiang Li asked.
"This bamboo house is used to store and organize books. The cave is cool and damp, and books will get moldy and infested with insects over time."
Jiang Liming nodded blankly.
At this time, the soldier opened his mouth again, "Let's go in quickly."
Jiang Li then came back to her senses. Thinking that the Snake King was still waiting for her, she withdrew her gaze, nodded hurriedly, and walked forward quickly.
In the cave, besides the Snake King, there was also their wizard Feng Luo.
The soldier saluted the two of them and turned away, leaving Jiang Li alone.
"Meet the Snake King."
Jiang Li was still a little puzzled, wondering why the Snake King called her over.
"The wizard just calculated that five days from now will be a good day. I will have someone send the clothes to Ye Yao's residence by then. The baby in your belly should also be born at that time."
Jiang Li was slightly stunned, then nodded, "Yes."
"But our royal family has a custom."
"Um?"
Jiang Li raised his head in confusion.
The wizard was seen holding a piece of white broken shell in his hand and slowly walked towards Jiang Li.
The snake king sitting in the front began to explain.
"This shell belongs to Ye Yao. After all, you are an outsider. Since you chose Ye Yao, according to custom, we need to check the compatibility between you two so that you can successfully reproduce snake offspring."
Jiang Li frowned slightly after hearing this.
"What if it doesn't work?"
"If that doesn't work, switch to Ye Sheng's."
As he spoke, Feng Luo revealed the broken shell in his other hand.
The Snake King talked to Jiang Li as if he was selling a product.
"If this one doesn't work, try another one. There's always one that's suitable!"
Jiang Li pursed his lips slightly.
What if none of them work? Can we just let her go?
However, she only dared to think about this in her heart. How could she dare to say it in front of others?
"So what should I do?"
Feng Luo handed a dagger to Jiang Li.
"Just take some blood and drop it into the shell."
Jiang Li took the dagger and did as Feng Luo said.
The bright red blood dripped into the broken shell, and flowers like mandalas bloomed.
In just a blink of an eye, her blood was instantly absorbed by the broken shell.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Li couldn't help but blink in surprise.
"How is it?" The snake king in front stretched his neck, his vision somewhat obstructed, and he asked Feng Luo hurriedly.
Feng Luo turned his body and looked at the Snake King, "Snake King, it has merged."
As soon as these five simple words came out, a smile appeared on the Snake King's face, and even his wrinkles were squeezed into a ball.
"Okay, great! Hurry up and get ready."
Feng Luo nodded, "Yes." and then walked out of the cave.
Jiang Li, who was completely confused, realized belatedly after hearing this that he had successfully matched with Ye Yao.
In that case, then there should be nothing for her to do, right?
"You should go back and have some rest too. Just wait patiently these days." The Snake King couldn't hide the smile on his face.
Jiang Li also understood his emotions. The curse that had tormented him for more than a hundred years was finally going to be broken. Anyone would probably be so happy that they would be unable to sleep.
"Snake King, I have something to ask of you."
"Hmm? What's up?"
"When I first came here, I noticed a bamboo house next to it. After asking the soldiers, I was told that it was used to store books. Can I go in and take a look?"
The Snake King naturally agreed to this small request.
"There are many ancient books stored there. If you want to read them, go ahead."
"Yes, thank you, Snake King."
