Chapter 72 - Extra Chapter [Three Snakes and a Snake in a Play] II
As soon as he woke up in the morning, Wan Zhong felt a cold sensation in his heart, like a piece of ice.
He opened his eyes and saw the little snake cub that was supposed to be sleeping in the nest had climbed on top of him again at some point and was spinning circles on his chest, looking for a comfortable sleeping position.
A scream stuck in his throat. Just when he was about to shout for Xuan Ming to protect him, the little snake cub noticed that he had woken up and wagged its tail nervously. It slowly raised its head and licked his chin.
Wan Zhong: “!!!”
He didn’t dare to move. His eyes moved down and he met the wet and expectant eyes of the little thing, as if it was silently saying to him: ‘Mom, please give me a kiss and a hug, okay?’
Wan Zhong’s heart was beating like a drum. He stretched out his fingers to carefully touch the snake cub’s smooth, wet little head. Although it was only a very brief moment, the snake cub was very happy. It nuzzled into his chest and rubbed its head hard. After rolling around, it happily moved to the crook of his neck, spit out tiny snake tongue and licked the side of his face gently, then hugged the candle and rested it against his ear, falling asleep happily.
Wan Zhong: “…”
He stiffened his body, listening to the weak breathing in his ears, and swallowed back the scream.
When Xuan Ming woke up, he saw this scene.
The one he loved was sleeping peacefully in his arms, with black hair, a fair face, red lips, and a straight nose. His long, white neck was hidden in the snow-white and slightly messy collar. Nearby, their cute snake cub was sleeping soundly and snoring slightly.
Xuan Ming spat out his snake tongue and felt a softness in his heart.
He used his tail to put the remaining two eggs, still unhatched, on the pillow beside his spouse. He posed and said to the mirror:
[Mirror, mirror,]
[Take a family photo for us quickly.]
[By the way, be sure to remember to adjust the light, shadow, and details.]
This was the happy picture he had dreamed of for a long time.
Xuan Ming propped up his chin and quietly admired Wan Zhong’s sleeping face. He couldn’t bear to disturb his sweet dream, but he couldn’t help but kiss him.
He gently kissed his forehead, eyebrows, and the tip of his nose. He used the tip of his tongue to pry open Wan Zhong’s lips, licked his teeth, and held the tip of his sweet tongue in his mouth, sucking for a few more breaths before moving to kiss his earlobes.
Xuan Ming breathed a little heavily, and deftly untied the belt around Wan Zhong’s waist with his fingers, touching his smooth and delicate thighs inch by inch. The snake cub suddenly stretched its body and looked toward Xuan Ming, spitting out snake tongue.
That ignorant little expression seemed to be asking: ‘Father~ Father~ what are you doing?’
Xuan Ming had no choice but to hold up his hand and place the cub back beside Wan Zhong, groping around in the quilt, invisible to the snake cub.
And such “little surprises” were just the beginning.
As the other two snake eggs broke out of their shells one after another, one person and one snake could no longer wrap their tails as they pleased.
The only thing that comforted Xuan Ming was after getting used to the eldest brother, Wan Zhong accepted the second and third children well.
.
The time for the three brothers to break out of their shells was only a few days apart. What surprised Wan Zhong and Xuan Ming was that the snake egg that looked the most powerful and tormented two other eggs, was the last one to break out of its shell and had the lowest spiritual power among the three brothers.
On the contrary, it was the snake egg that was always bullied for its weakness. Not only was it the first to break out of its shell, it also had the highest spiritual power among the three brothers and was the only one with a magic weapon.
Xuan Ming held a banquet in the demon realm in March, chose an auspicious day in the zodiac, and based on the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, he named the three cubs through divination.
——The eldest was Wu Zhu. The second child was Shang Shui. The third child was Gui Huai.
“…” Wan Zhong looked at the names on the spiritual flag and asked Xuan Ming, “Why the cubs don’t have our last name?”
Xuan Ming was puzzled, “Why do they need our last name?”
Wan Zhong, using human customs, answered, “Because they are our cubs. If they don’t share our surname, then who would know that they are our cubs?”
Xuan Ming smiled, hugged his spouse, and said, “You humans pay attention to blood inheritance, but for a demon, a name is not only a code but also related to future destiny.” He pointed to the names on the table, “This is part of the destiny of the snake cubs. The surname is not important.”
“Okay,” Wan Zhong shrugged, “I just feel this is a bit unintimate.”
He leaned in Xuan Ming’s arms, his face white and beautiful. There was a maid in the demon world looking after the child, so they didn’t have to watch over them every time and had free time to do other things.
Wan Zhong suddenly wanted to do it. He turned around in Xuan Ming’s arms and kissed him. Just as he was about to slip his fingers into Xuan Ming’s clothes, the door of the palace was opened with a “bang!” and three small black snake balls stumbled and rolled in from behind the bead curtain screen.
“Tsk!” Xuan Ming frowned.
“Hey~” Wan Zhong sighed softly.
The next second, they separated and looked side by side at the three little ones who rolled to their feet, sobbing and complaining.
The eldest, Wu Zhu, looked like a doormat as always, looking at his parents with tears in his eyes without saying a word.
The second eldest, Shang Shui, bared his two fangs with a sullen expression. He didn’t know what anger he was suffering from, but he was crying and shaking non-stop.
The third child, Gui Huai, was the most aggrieved…
He wrapped his eldest brother’s candle with his tail, pointed at his second brother with the tip of his tail, opened his mouth wide, and cried loudly at his parents. He bumped his head against his father’s clothes for a while and then sat next to his mother, rolling over at his feet, crying so hard he couldn’t breathe. He also secretly hit his two brothers with the tip of his tail, taking advantage of them openly.
Wan Zhong & Xuan Ming: “…”
Another day of being severely dominated by snake cubs.
Note
I think the baby snakes also use hybrid form like Xuan Ming usually do, with snake tail and human upper form.
Also, this is it. Thanks everyone for reading and supporting me^^
