Chapter 15: Repaying a favor: Giving her gifts to keep her company.
Over the next period of time, the deserted and lonely gymnasium became more and more lively day by day.
All the evolved species that Xinxue touched were still alive and well, and had become stronger to varying degrees. This was something that everyone could see.
As they spread the word and praised it everywhere, the rumors that had been lingering in this territory, that the giant snake was absorbing the vitality of humans, were dispelled.
Evolved species like those that prefer to live in dark places are mostly solitary or timid.
They would send a thank-you gift every few days, look at their benefactor Xinxue from afar, and rarely stay in the gymnasium.
Those who were outgoing and generous and liked to express themselves directly, just lived around the gymnasium despite Ah Shu's resentful gaze.
Whenever they have time, they will come over to give Xinxue some gifts and keep her company to relieve her boredom.
This is the case with the sika deer family.
They come almost every day. If they don’t come one day, Xinxue will worry that something has happened to them and will quietly ask Xiaobai to go out and check.
A few days ago, when Xinxue was sorting out the evolutionary line of a mynah bird, she mentioned casually that she wanted to eat the tomatoes grown on the roof of an abandoned building.
Unexpectedly, the mynah bird took note of it and spread it loudly everywhere, so that all the evolved species living near the stadium knew about it.
What shocked Xinxue the most was that in the end, it actually teamed up with many evolved species who were eager to repay their gratitude, climbed to the roof of the 27th floor, and stole a few tomato seedlings.
You know, it can grow so vigorously in such an environment, covering the entire roof and with fruits hanging on the branches.
That tomato plant has also evolved, so its combat power is naturally superior.
The red and black lines on the bodies of the evolved species that set out together were all straightened out by the new snow.
Now they are injured again, but they are all happy.
While lying down and waiting for the new snow to heal him, he boasted about how heroic and simple he was on the roof.
Xinxue couldn't do anything about them, but she was very happy in her heart.
After curing everyone's red lines, she walked around the gymnasium a few times and found a sunny spot.
He pointed and said, "Let's plant these tomato seedlings here. Come pick them when you want to eat them. You're welcome!"
Now the evolved species that have mastered the abilities of turning over the soil and watering the plants are busy again.
There was absolutely no doubt about what she said.
Ah Shu felt particularly melancholy as he watched the evolved species coming in and out of his nest freely.
She sometimes misses the peace and quiet that once existed here.
Although a group of evolved species have lived in Ashu's territory for several years, enjoying her protection.
But before this, A Shu was arrogant and conceited, and was a powerful person who could stand on his own.
She simply disdains to communicate with those evolved species who she regards as weak ants.
Occasionally, when I feel like eating some fresh food, I will open my mouth without mercy and use it to satisfy my stomach.
Those evolved species would either run away when they saw her or declare war on the spot. Some of them were so arrogant as to try to seize her territory by force, and were finally swallowed and digested by the angry Ah Shu.
But now, the evolved species that Xinxue had personally treated had a special meaning in Ashu's eyes and was no longer a worthless grass on the roadside.
Ah Shu watched with his own eyes as she spent time and energy on the evolved species.
Because I love the evolved species, I began to think that they are also special creatures in the world.
Although still disdainful of these weak individuals.
But I won't treat them as snacks anymore...
And helping the evolving species is indeed not in vain, Ah Shu thought as he lay on the grass.
Before, when she went out hunting or doing other things, she was always worried about Xinxue, fearing that some ignorant people would bully her when she was away.
There are so many eyes watching now.
New snow is a shining presence wherever it goes in her territory.
She no longer has this worry.
Ah Shu's gaze fell on the stands piled with food and daily necessities for humans, and he couldn't help but feel a faint admiration in his heart.
All of this was plundered by the evolved species over the past few days. Little by little, it adds up to a lot.
No matter how powerful a person is, his energy is limited.
Asking her to collect so many things, not to mention whether she can find them, just carrying them back will be a huge effort.
The time and energy required is immeasurable.
Xinxue wore the fitting shoes and new clothes sent by the evolved species.
He came over chewing on roasted meat.
Seeing Ah Shu so serious, he smiled and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Ashu used his tail to hook Xinxue into his arms and sniffed her fragrance.
The snake's tongue slid across her cheek, and she sighed, "Why didn't you think of taking in younger brothers and offering them as tribute before thinking about me?"
They don't receive any benefits after helping other evolved species adjust their evolutionary lines.
After finishing catching evolved species for Xinxue and treating them to gain experience, he still had to fill his stomach.
I am busy all day long and have no time to rest.
It was Xiaobai who suggested that she do this after remembering the knowledge he had learned around the human base.
It was also from then on that a prosperous and comfortable life with full warehouses slowly opened its arms to them.
I just thought Ah Shu was just basking in the sun and daydreaming out of habit, so I thought of coming over to keep her company so she wouldn't be so bored.
I didn't expect that Ah Shu was really thinking about something.
Xinxue: "..."
"Because you are powerful, you don't need followers." Her cheeks turned red.
Looking up at Ah Shu, he said seriously, "Before, you were a snake that fed the whole family. You could always find food and didn't need to use those man-made items."
"I'm just too troublesome... I can't escape human civilization and adapt to life in the wild..."
Xinxue became more and more shy as she thought about it. She hid her slightly hot face in Ashu's chest, using her cool and smooth scales to cool herself down.
If her appearance had not caused trouble for Ashu, life in the gym would not have changed at all.
Ah Shu didn't respond to her, but looked at her with ambiguous eyes.
After a while, he smiled and said, "Xue, do you know how long it takes for a snake to be pregnant?"
"I don't know, several months?" Xinxue looked up at her and guessed.
"The gestation period of each snake is different. Mine are oviparous, 52 days." It was as if he mentioned something that excited the snake.
Ashu's pupils shrank into a thin line, becoming very strange, and the smile on his lips became wanton and arrogant.
"Oh, I remember." Xinxue didn't understand why she suddenly said such a thing.
But she still made a note in her heart that if Ah Shu found a partner in the future, she would have to count the days to take care of her.
For some reason, Xinxue felt a little depressed when she thought about Ah Shu mating and getting entangled with other snakes.
It was like a thick layer of cloud blocking her breathing.
But there is nothing that can be done about it. Reproduction is the primitive desire engraved in the genes of every living thing.
She couldn't selfishly deprive Ah Shu of her right to be a mother just because she was unhappy.
Thinking of this, Xinxue unconsciously clenched her fists.
It was as if he was trying hard to suppress some emotion that was about to burst out.
"We've known each other for almost a long time now." Ah Shu changed the subject.
His hand slipped under the hem of her new snow-covered coat and rested on her belly.
I stroked it from time to time, making the new snow itchy.
And because she was holding him, there was nowhere to hide, so he could only blush and tremble.
