Zhu Fanfan discussed the details with Zhuge Qianxing and went back to prepare. The equipment that Grandpa Ji had specially made for her could finally be put to use. After returning to her room and going to her spatial dimension, Zhu Fanfan found the two-headed snake. It was curled up in the hole it had dug, as if it were about to hibernate, and it was so still that Zhu Fanfan could barely hear it breathing when she arrived.
Just to be on the safe side, Zhu Fanfan dug it out and said to it, "I know you lived in the Bone-Eating Forest and that you're looking for the lab. I know the lab's exact address and can help you get in. In return, you'll protect us in the forest tomorrow and keep those plants away. How about that?"
The two-headed snake understood, and both heads nodded. Zhu Fanfan continued, "To show my sincerity, I need to sign a master-servant contract with you, which will also allow us to stay in touch in the forest. Once our agreement is over, I will terminate it and set you free."
Having lived in her space for so long, Zhu Fanfan has come to know the two-headed snake. Perhaps because the environment here is too peaceful, its cold aura has gradually become milder. It is no longer as wary as it was at the beginning, nor does it try to poison anyone it sees. Once it leaves, it probably won't hurt people easily.
Unfortunately, even after being in here for so long, it has only grown to one meter and still looks like a small snake. While its subordinates have grown into giant pythons and have given birth to many snake offspring, it is still a bachelor.
However, to be fair, roasted snake meat is really delicious. She and her grandfather asked Brother Xi Yan to roast several snakes. The ones that weren't finished were stored in their space. The snake meat was roasted with a strange fire and still had some residual energy. Her grandfather could eat it to strengthen his body.
The two-headed snake did not object. It had long known that it had been on her territory and that she had eaten many of its snake offspring. But after so many years, it had not seen anyone else here, so even its ancestral feud could be put aside. Moreover, it lived a very easy and carefree life here. If it were not obsessed with its birthplace, it could stay here for the rest of its life.
The man and the snake reached an agreement and signed a contract. Zhu Fanfan then appeased Snow Blade and Golden Eagle. As for Gray Wolf, it was completely unnecessary; he was so attentive to Snow Blade that he had long forgotten about his master.
After leaving the space, she told Old Man Zhuge about it. She was very careful; she even concealed her supernatural abilities when putting away the food. How could she have been discovered? It seems the world is full of observant people. She was just too arrogant. She must be more humble in the future. Luckily, Old Man Zhuge discovered it and smoothed things over. No wonder Grandpa said Old Man Zhuge was trustworthy.
She remembered that Brother Xi Yan had mentioned that there were spatial abilities within the Dragon Group, but she hadn't taken it seriously. She thought that her two abilities were already sufficient, and she filled her days with activities to train them. Now, it seemed that in order to avoid suspicion, she also needed to quickly train her spatial ability.
Anyway, the ratio of her time in her space to the outside world is quite large, so she can free up some time to train. She has already taken life and death lightly. No matter what she does, she will always be behind her grandfather. She has no plans to get married. Even if time is accelerated, it will be enough for her.
She never expected that when she went out to prepare to train Tong Ze and the others, she would run into Shao Xian. Shao Xian stopped looking down on people and became incredibly nice, even showing a hint of ingratiation. Zhu Fanfan was so scared that she ran away quickly. This person is crazy, she has to stay away from her and no one can ask her for favors.
The day passed just like that. Zhu Fanfan got up as soon as it was light and told Tong Ze and the others to go for a run. She woke everyone up, thinking it was better to get up early than late. However, she didn't expect that Zhuge Qianxing and the elders were still not up. This made Zhuge Qianxing realize that he also had a bad temper when he woke up after living for so long.
Because it was Zhu Fanfan who called for help, he was disturbed from his sleep and argued back, only to be argued back by her. Helpless, he had to wake up everyone else to keep him company. While eating, he was still complaining, "I'm an old man. Have you ever seen an old man get up this early?"
Zhu Fanfan looked at Zhuge Qianxing incredulously: "Grandpa Zhuge, do you have some misunderstanding about the sleep of the elderly? The older people get, the shorter their sleep time becomes, especially the elderly. They don't even get up after five o'clock in the morning. If you're lazy, just say so. Don't drag all the elderly into it. My grandpa gets up before dawn every day. When he gets to the army, he can still make it to the morning training and even run a few laps. You're just too delicate."
Zhuge Qianxing's anger subsided: "I was just planning today's tasks last night, repeatedly confirming the time, so what? I went to bed late, got up late this morning, so what? Didn't you have any idea which heartless person I was doing this for? You even scolded me this morning. Why am I so unlucky? I'm more wronged than Dou E."
She started off weak, but as she spoke, her breath quickened and her voice grew louder. In the end, she even started complaining. Seeing this, the elders all slipped away. After all, the group leader's rambling was a direct hit to the soul; it was like a demonic voice piercing their ears. They couldn't afford to offend her, so why not just avoid her?
Zhu Fanfan, unwilling to back down, wanted to give him a piece of his own, but Zhuge Qianxing quickly left after a few tearful words, leaving Zhu Fanfan, who wanted a long story, behind. Zhu Fanfan, seeing no one around, couldn't calm down. When he saw the people outside, he beat them up under the pretext of giving them pointers. Soon, the ground outside was covered with people lying on the ground. Zhu Fanfan left in a good mood.
The sun hadn't risen yet, and the miasma in the forest was still thick, making it unsuitable to go in. Zhu Fanfan had only just remembered this, and was waiting for Old Man Zhuge to get ready before they set off together.
The group set off for the forest only after the sun rose. Once inside, Elder Zhen immediately took out a compass. Zhu Fanfan asked curiously, "The two-headed snake is just ahead. Do we still need a compass if we use it to guide us?"
Elder Zhen replied, "According to that senior's notes, this two-headed snake is directionally challenged, so we'll have to find our way ourselves. But don't worry, we have the map left by the senior, so we can find it."
After saying that, he took out the map. Zhu Fanfan looked at it and saw that although it was old and worn, the writing was still clear, all in traditional Chinese characters, and the drawings were very abstract. He couldn't help but ask, "Grandpa Zhen, can you understand it?"
Elder Zhen was pleased with himself: "Naturally, these are unique talismanic drawings of our sect, which only people from our sect can understand."
Zhu Fanfan stopped talking. Perhaps because everyone had a certain level of skill in supernatural abilities, no hallucinations occurred. After reuniting with the two-headed snake, the group walked deeper into the area without encountering any danger.
Zhu Fanfan asked curiously, "There was a pack of wolves gathered here before, but now there's no sound. Did they go out?"
Zhuge Qianxing laughed and said, "You child have forgotten medical skills, but you should still know common sense. The miasma here is very strong, and there are poisonous insects, snakes and ants. They are poisonous themselves and can adapt to this place. Large animals are not suitable for survival. There are no wolves here."
