Chapter 28
The black snake abruptly started ignoring Wan Zhong.
Xuan Ming, didn’t know when this monster would return.
Wan Zhong, appearing haggard and lost in a trance, sat on the edge of the cliff dejectedly. At a certain moment, he contemplated jumping off to end his suffering.
While staring at the distant sea in a daze, the corner of Wan Zhong’s eye was suddenly licked hard by the wet and slippery snake tongue.
He raised his eyes and noticed that the black snake, who had ignored him for the past few days, had approached him. Sniffing hurriedly, he turned away and wiped his eyes. The black snake was once again wrapped around his waist, patting his back gently with the tip of its tail.
Feeling comforted by the black snake, Wan Zhong’s suppressed tears suddenly burst out like a flood, and he could no longer control them.
Realizing it was just a snake and it would be foolish to mock it, Wan Zhong stopped pretending to be strong, hugged its tail, and started crying.
“Woo~!”
The black snake’s tail froze, and it swiftly enveloped the crying person in layers with its body. While offering longer tail for him to hold, it expressed confusion to the mirror.
[Mirror, mirror.]
[Is it because of my indifference these days that he is so heartbroken?]
[But what he said was really hurtful, and I don’t want to forgive him at all.]
[But in fact, it was because of me that he kept his innocent and said those words.]
[He is still crying so pitifully now…]
The black snake separated a ray of soul, stretched out its long and powerful transparent hands from the void, hugged its spouse from behind, and lowered its head to kiss him.
Wan Zhong was crying vigorously when he suddenly felt strands of cold breath sliding from his ears to the side of his face, and finally lingered on his sensitive neck, covering him from head to toe. It was as if a super-powerful air conditioner was blowing on him at close range.
As soon as Wan Zhong felt it, he stopped crying and immediately panicked, said: “It’s coming! It’s coming! The monster is coming again!”
The black snake narrowed its vertical pupils slightly, bared its teeth, and swung its tail as it was about to turn into an infatuated and resentful snake again.
Wan Zhong suddenly hugged the snake’s thick tail with his arms and legs, crying and begging softly: “Don’t leave me, woo-hoo~ handsome snake, I’m really scared, can you just stay with me? Don’t leave me alone!!”
The force of hug was so strong that he seemed to be integrated with its tail.
The black snake: “~~~” It took back its soul and picked up its crying spouse back to the snake’s nest.
.
It used the tip of its tail to peel away the snake skin wrapped around the body of Wan Zhong, rolled up his lace-up underwear, and took it off from the crook of his legs, then rolled him up to take a cold bath in the surging pool to relax.
Wan Zhong had been crying for a long time, his brain was deprived of oxygen and he couldn’t care about anything. It wasn’t until he suddenly fell into the water that he hugged the black snake’s tail and shouted: “No! No! I don’t know how to swim!”
He started to crawl away. When he got ashore, his ankles were tightly wrapped.
The black snake coiled its tail into a medium-sized bathtub in the bottomless water pool and licked the tip of Wan Zhong’s thin chin to signal him to soak in peace. As long as it was there, he would be fine.
And Wan Zhong did get a lot of protection from the black snake, and unknowingly developed a dependence and trust on it that shouldn’t exist. Especially when it was good to him, his feelings for it couldn’t help but deepen.
Wan Zhong had actually been restraining this feeling.
Because in addition to knowing that he was just its reserve food, he also felt that the feelings between them were not equal.
It was obvious that he had put down his guard and wariness about it as he got along with it, day after day and regarded it as a good friend that he could trust and rely on. But all the good things it did to him were just to make him fat and then eat him later on.
It turned out that Wan Zhong didn’t care about these things anymore. As long as he could get along well with the black snake and let it not eat him, Wan Zhong didn’t care what it thought of him and whether it would respond to his feelings.
But since getting entangled with that monster, Wan Zhong couldn’t help but think… giving up the dignity of a human being in order to survive would not only go against the truest feelings in the heart, but to suffer in humiliation, was such a meager life really worth it?
Wan Zhong suddenly felt that death might be another kind of respect for life.
.
“Handsome snake, are you~ oh, do you still want to eat me?”
Wan Zhong wiped his tears and asked the black snake from the other side, directly cutting open the bloody issue between them.
“When are you going to eat me? To be honest, I am very tired from living in fear every day. If you want to eat, eat it quickly. Anyway, I won’t gain weight anymore, so don’t wait any longer. If you continue like this, I will be killed by that monster. If I go crazy or die, you won’t get anything. Now that I… I still look like a human being, you can eat me quickly, and I can repay your care during this time~!”
Wan Zhong said that, he took water and washed himself carefully from head to toe, then closed his eyes and prepared his body to the black snake.
In the eyes of the black snake, it seemed to be saying to it: ‘Dear husband, I only like you as you are now. In order to prevent the other you from taking advantage of me, you should hurry up and eat me first. I’m ready, what about you?’
How could the black snake bear this? It hurriedly coiled its tail and asked the mirror with a bleeding nose.
[Mirror, mirror.]
[What should I do?]
[Although I really want to devour him and eat him clean, I might kill him!]
[Leaving a widow is a sin, so don’t let me be a widower too.]
After waiting for a long time, Wan Zhong saw that the black snake didn’t know how to eat even though it was bleeding from the nose. Wan Zhong sniffed and looked at it expectantly: “You, um~ are you reluctant to eat me?”
The black snake was indeed reluctant with his skinny body.
After all, tail-twirling was a pleasurable thing for the body and mind. If it injured, maimed, or even killed its spouse just for that short-term happiness, that was like putting the cart before the horse.
In the plan, it wanted to wait for the tribulation to pass, then took him back to the snake castle in the demon world to hold a wedding, and then stayed together and gave birth to several litters of snake cubs, and loved him in that paradise until the end of the world.
Whenever the black snake thought about such a life, it would bubble up with happiness, spit out snake tongue, and nodded the tip of its tail happily at Wan Zhong.
Wan Zhong blinked, and a glimmer of hope lit up in his amber pupils.
He stared blankly at the black snake that nodded its tail at him for a long time before wiping the blood that was pouring out of the black snake’s nose with trembling hands. He looked at it with red eyes and asked uncertainly.
“Do you really have feelings for me? Are you reluctant to let me go? Don’t you want to eat me?”
The black snake tightened its tail slightly and licked his lips.
Wan Zhong immediately hugged the tip of its tail and started crying again. Of course, this time it was tears of joy.
He hugged the black snake’s tail and cried loudly. After the negative emotions accumulated in his heart were fully vented, he felt much relieved and his whole person felt very refreshed.
.
Wan Zhong calmed down his emotions, raised his head, and looked straight into the black snake’s dark green indifferent vertical pupils that contained no emotion at all. He wiped his tears and asked it with sobs: “Handsome snake, what have I done wrong recently? What made you unhappy? Why are you like this?”
The black snake hesitated and shook the tip of its tail.
Wan Zhong immediately accused it: “Then you still ignore me?”
The black snake: “…”
Wan Zhong clenched his fist and said, “You won’t touch let me touch your tail.”
The black snake: “…”
The tears in Wan Zhong’s eyes kept running, and he continued to accuse the black snake: “You don’t wrap your tail around me when I sleep, and you don’t pull your tail to follow me wherever I go. Just let me fend for myself.”
The black snake: “…”
Wan Zhong turned his back and started crying again. While crying, he said aggrievedly: “I almost lost my life trying to protect you. You actually did this to me. It’s so chilling~ woo~”
The black snake: “…”
Wan Zhong looked back at it, with a cold look on his face, and said: “Sure enough, you have changed. You don’t care about me anymore. Look at how much I’m crying, and you don’t even come to comfort me. Ha~”
Black Snake: (|||O?O;)
[Mirror, mirror]
[How many more accusations does he have against me?]
[Please speak up and say something for me.]
