After Being Abducted and Raised by A Snake

There was not enough light in the forest, and the black snake’s mirror, which was larger than the door panel, couldn’t be moved easily.

It took a long time for Wan Zhong to move the mirror and try many times before finally finding the right spot to gather a little light and ignite the pile of dead grass placed on the branches.

He had already skewered the meat with wet branches in advance and made a fireproof pile. When he put the meat skewers on the fire to roast, he washed his hands and carefully wiped the mirror clean before returning it to the black snake.

It curled its tail around the mirror and inspected it carefully for a long time. After confirming that there was no bump and it was as clean as before borrowing it, it immediately spit out the snake tongue at him to express its satisfaction.

Wan Zhong observed every move of the black snake very carefully and kept trying to figure out the meaning of every move in his mind, hoping to get more useful information to avoid the risk of annoying the black snake as much as possible and improve his survival rate around it.

Now he could finally determine a few points.

The black snake could understand people’s words, especially liked to hear compliments.

It loved cleanliness and beauty, and it really cared about this mirror.

When the black snake was in a good mood, it would quickly spit out its tongue, not keeping it out for too long. This behavior was often accompanied by movements such as tilting its head and wagging its tail.

As for its usual diet, Wan Zhong needed to find the right opportunity to verify that.

He kept these confirmed points in his mind, reminding himself: ‘Be clean. Be sweet. Also, stay away from the mirror that the black snake cherishes.’

This information proved very useful to him, and he gained a lot from this trip. Everything seemed to be moving in a positive direction.

.

While relaxing, he began humming and grilling meat.

It was a very old love song.

The lyrics were straightforward, passionate, and sincere.

Wan Zhong’s singing might not be very accurate, but his vocal was good, and the tune sounded lazy and chic.

And while singing, he discreetly glanced at a certain snake.

The black snake, catching Wan Zhong making secret glances, blushed, tightened its tail, and asked the mirror.

[Mirror, mirror.]

[Did you hear it? He said that I was his true love and that I was cuter than a rose. Although I minded that he forgot to mention that I was handsome, he was courting me~]

[It’s just… he is too straightforward. Although being affectionate is a good thing and can make us more harmonious when we wrap our tails, he is so thin and sick now. How can he withstand my love and affection?]

[But if I don’t respond to him, will he be hurt?]

The black snake looked at Wan Zhong singing for it affectionately under the tree with some distress. It saw his pair of peach blossom eyes with watery eyes and tenderness. He wanted to look at the snake but didn’t dare to. He was obviously sneaking around, seducing and teasing, begging for fierce love.

What should it do?

The black snake struggled, hesitated, wavered, and hesitated for a long time. It still felt that its spouse was unaware of the struggle inside its mind. It maintained a responsible, capable, and gentlemanly demeanor of a peerless and perfect snake, not wanting to hurt his feelings.

But…

His spouse was so beautiful that he confuses all living beings, so excellent and perfect that no one could match him. If he was rejected, would his self-esteem be frustrated, and he wouldn’t be able to lift his head ever again?

The black snake felt it had to give its spouse some response.

It didn’t want him to feel inferior because of rejection.

.

The black snake narrowed its vertical pupils, spat out scarlet snake tongue, then grinned with big fangs curved like hooks. After smiling tenderly at Wan Zhong, it flicked its tail and poked him.

“Ah~!”

Wan Zhong, enjoying himself and singing happily, was suddenly pushed to the ground by the black snake’s tail. He saw it baring its teeth at him fiercely, so he immediately shut up and warned himself: ‘From now on, don’t sing in front of the black snake anymore; it will get angry.’

The meat skewers were grilled until sizzling with oil, exuding a mouth-watering, meaty aroma.

Wan Zhong secretly glanced at the black snake, seeing it had no intention of causing further trouble. He mustered up the courage to pick up the largest piece of barbecue and handed it to the tip of its tail.

He said softly and flatteringly, “Handsome snake, the meat is roasted for you to eat.” As he said this, he couldn’t help but swallow his saliva.

The black snake remained uninterested, wrapping its tail around Wan Zhong’s ankle. After scanning his exposed upper body with the tip of its tail, it turned its head back to the mirror.

Seeing this, Wan Zhong breathed a sigh of relief and ignored it. He sat back on his new chicken skin blanket and started to eat.

The meat just taken off the fire was very hot, and the oil dripped onto the broken skin on the palm of his hand, causing blisters immediately.

But Wan Zhong paid no attention to anything.

He quickly took a bite of the meat and chewed it in his mouth. Before he could swallow it, he took another bite. His cheeks were bulging like a little squirrel holding pine nuts.

“Huh~”

It was really delicious!

While cleaning the innards of the three-legged chicken, he noticed its rough and tough texture with no trace of fat. he originally thought the meat would be dry and hard to chew, but when grilled over a fire, a layer of fat oozed out, making it tender, moist, and delicious. The meat itself had a slight salty taste, combined with the burning wood and charcoal roasting smell, making his taste buds which had long abused, finally came alive.

The outside was charred, and the inside was tender and fragrant, with a completely natural meat flavor.

.

Wan Zhong, with his mouth full of oil, was enjoying his meal. The black snake came down from the tree at some unknown time and laid down next to him.

It avoided his greasy hand, wrapped the tip of its tail around his pale and thin wrist, and spat out snake tongue at him.

Wan Zhong was startled, thinking the black snake also wanted to eat. He immediately licked his fingers, took the remaining piece of meat, and whispered, “Be careful not to burn it.”

The black snake refused to eat, moving the tip of its tail to Wan Zhong’s stomach, gently pushing him. It reminded him that he had eaten enough and wasn’t allowed to eat more.

Wan Zhong blinked, remembering he hadn’t eaten meat for a long time, and his stomach wouldn’t bear more. He obeyed, wiped his mouth, wrapped the remaining barbecue in a leaf, extinguished the fire, and prepared to return to the snake’s nest.

The black snake still didn’t want to carry anything except Wan Zhong and the mirror.

Wan Zhong had no choice but to stuff everything into the chicken skin blanket, wrapped it with vines, and dragged it on the ground. Unexpectedly, he discovered that the elasticity and wear resistance of that thing were beyond his imagination. He thought about plucking the feathers off and maybe making it into a bag.

.

This trip was really tiring, and it was already evening when they returned to the Snake Nest.

Wan Zhong rubbed his sore arms and was so tired that he just wanted to sleep. But the black snake blocked him with its tail to prevent him from entering the hole.

Strictly speaking.

He wasn’t allowed to take things into the snake’s nest.

Wan Zhong: “???”
