Chapter 27 - I
He wondered whether the rogue monster’s brain and ears were filled with water. What did he ask him to call it? Husband? Master? Stop teasing him.
Wan Zhong brought the topic back on track: “Xuan, Xuan Ming. You, I… can we talk?”
The rogue monster – no, it was the rogue monster named Xuan Ming – returned his attention to figuring out how to deal with the unopened snake skin, so there was no time to pay attention to Wan Zhong.
Wan Zhong pursed his lips and felt secretly proud.
He thought to himself, ‘You are a half-human, half-snake rogue who can only think with your tail! Do you know what a knot is? Do you know how to solve half knots, flat knots, overhand knots, single rope anchor knots, curly knots, Prussian knots, weighing knots, figure-eight knots, and continuous dead knots?’
‘And the most important thing, do you know what I am wearing?’
‘That is a snake skin that is invulnerable to swords! If you pull it harder, you won’t be able to tear it apart even if your claws are pulled off. It might make your nails look bald! Cut~! You can’t get through the snake skin, so just pull slowly and I’ll kill you! I’m so mad at you! It was like being licked by a dog-’
“Tear!” There was a sound.
Xuan Ming was too lazy to waste any more time. With his fingertips, he tore the snake skin into pieces as if tearing paper.
“Ah!”
Wan Zhong was stunned for a moment, then shouted hurriedly. He didn’t know if he felt sorry for the snake skin or was worried about himself.
“Ahhhhh!”
“Don’t scream so loudly; you’ll scare the snake.” Xuan Ming covered Wan Zhong’s mouth, his long slender hands almost covering Wan Zhong’s entire face in his palm, and said with a slight warning in his voice: “Although the snake skin makes your body look beautiful, don’t wrap it up in so many layers next time.”
Xuan Ming was very dissatisfied and said to Wan Zhong: “My nails were scratched.”
.
It was still dark and the snake never came back.
Wan Zhong was forced to live harmoniously with Xuan Ming in the snake nest. As long as he let Xuan Ming did whatever he wanted, he would be calm and gentle. Whenever he showed any resistance, Xuan Ming would use more perverted methods to suppress him inhumanely and crazily.
The conventional methods were:
Xuan Ming continued his intimate gestures, pulling up trees, poking holes in the indestructible stone wall with the snake tail, licking Wan Zhong’s whole body with the cold and wet snake tongue, kissing him until the base of his tongue was numb and his legs and feet were weak. Leaving traces on his body with his hands and tail, creating various ambiguous marks that put Wan Zhong’s body in a particularly shameful state, but not allowing him to escape easily…
The most effective of these gestures was when Xuan Ming pointed the tip of the snake tail at Wan Zhong.
At this time, Wan Zhong would become extremely obedient, extremely scared, and even take the initiative to hug Xuan Ming’s tail, touch his hair, lie on his shoulders, and say soft words. However, he still dared not look at the monster with his eyes open.
And Xuan Ming enjoyed Wan Zhong’s initiative.
Sometimes, he would deliberately scare Wan Zhong, then put his lips toward Wan Zhong and let Wan Zhong kissed him. If Wan Zhong did well, Xuan Ming would wrap his tail around him, throw him high, and catch him steadily with his strong hands. If he made a mess, Xuan Ming would tirelessly repeat every previous action that might make himself happy until he had enough.
.
After Wan Zhong was sure that Xuan Ming would not easily harm his life, except for being with him, he finally had the time to consider his own food and clothing.
Since the black snake shed its skin, the source of snake fruit was cut off, and the black dates had long been eaten. Only a little dried meat of the three-legged chicken was left. Wan Zhong didn’t know how long it could last.
Wan Zhong realized that he had relied too much on the black snake. He had not obtained a grain of food on his own for so long since he came here.
Now that the black snake was missing, he realized how sad it would be to live without it.
Carefully wrapped in snake skin from head to toe, holding a luminous pearl the size of an apple, Wan Zhong was about to leave the hole when he felt the back of his neck being lifted.
“Ah!”
Startled, Wan Zhong was picked up by Xuan Ming and pressed against the rock wall above the entrance of the cave. When his teeth were opened by a wet snake tongur, his scalp tingled, and he shook violently.
“Where to go?”
“I, I…”
“Don’t stutter.” In the darkness, Xuan Ming held his chin, put the other hand on his hip, and motioned Wan Zhong to wrap his legs around his waist, while vigorously rubbing Wan Zhong’s iliac bones and kissing him: “I told you not to wrap up so many snake skin, why are you disobedient?”
“Hmm~” Wan Zhong trembled again at the cold and indifferent voice, and said hurriedly: “Well~ I’ve finished my food, I have to find something to eat.”
Xuan Ming lips pressed against his skin with a slight arc, as if mocking him: ‘Just you alone?’
But when he opened his mouth, he had a different attitude: “What do you want to eat?”
“???” Wan Zhong thought he was going to help him, so he hurriedly said: “No, I – um~”
He seemed to like kissing Wan Zhong.
Kissing happened every now and then, and a kiss lasted for more than half an hour.
The luminous pearl in Wan Zhong’s hand had long since fallen. He tightened his hand on Xuan Ming’s shoulder and grasped his thick hair that was as cold as body temperature. After hesitating for a while, he finally didn’t dare to push Xuan Ming away.
This kiss was like usual, until Wan Zhong was breathing rapidly, his brain starved of oxygen, and he couldn’t breathe. Then, Xuan Ming licked the saliva from the corners of his lips that he had no time to swallow and ended the kiss unwillingly.
If there was anything to be grateful for, it was that as the number of kisses increased, Wan Zhong’s lung capacity continued to increase. He believed that next time he fell into the water, he could hold his breath for a while and reincarnate later.
Xuan Ming seemed to feel that Wan Zhong still couldn’t learn to breathe after such a long time. While holding him in his arms and stroking his back, he whispered in his ear, “You are stupid.”
