Chapter 38: The whole arm is yours…Brother Snake, what do you think?

Yang Fei pointed tremblingly at the giant python’s huge head. “It just rubbed against Junior Sister’s palm, right? I’m not mistaken…”

Shi Yinghan pressed down on his finger, also a little confused. “…Yes.”

A crack appeared on Lu Qingyan’s usually cold face.

Yu Xiao’s steps were unsteady.

After all, the giant python, which had almost wiped them all out, was gently rubbing against Junior Sister’s palm.

Is this world hallucinatory?!

Ning Yue: “…”

She was also confused!

She instinctively rubbed the giant python’s head; the giant python immediately approached happily, its tongue flicking excitedly.

Ning Yue looked at the snake’s head, which wasn’t cute but rather terrifying, and swallowed.

Thinking about it carefully, the giant python hadn’t tried to harm her.

When it swallowed her, it seemed to only hold her; it didn’t bite or swallow her.

Ning Yue had wandered around in the giant python’s mouth and couldn’t find the exit.

So, to avoid being eaten, she had ripped open its belly and came out.

Why was this snake so gentle to her?!

So, swallowing her might have been a form of protection and concealment?

Ning Yue looked kindly at Xiaohua on her shoulder. “…What’s going on?”

Xiaohua changed the subject. “Hahaha, this snake seems to be an acquaintance of yours hahaha.”

A dangerous curve appeared on Ning Yue’s lips. “…Mm?”

Xiaohua: “…I only saw you being swallowed by the giant python; who knew it would swallow you but not eat you!”

Ning Yue sighed; she knew it wasn’t Xiaohua’s fault.

She showed a pitying expression to the giant python.

Blame it for inexplicably swallowing her; it was dark, stuffy, and hot inside; she spent a long time finding the way out!

Serves you right!

The giant python seemed to understand Ning Yue’s expression; it curled up its body, hiding its torn wound.

It looked at Ning Yue with a resentful expression.

Ning Yue: “…”

Ning Yue: “…What do we do with this snake?”

Yang Fei hadn’t recovered yet. “It seems gentle towards you; keep it as a spirit beast…”

The giant python, as if it understood, raised its tail.

Song Yishi interrupted. “You’re a beast tamer, but this is a ten-thousand-year-old giant python at the Unity stage…”

“The cultivator and spirit beast’s levels can’t differ by more than two stages; otherwise, Junior Sister will be backlashed and die because of the difference in cultivation levels.”

It wasn’t an illusion; the giant python’s tail drooped again.

Yu Xiao worriedly looked at Ning Yue and the giant python. “A ten-thousand-year-old giant python is too dangerous, especially one at the Unity stage; probably, there are few Unity stage spirit beasts in the entire cultivation world; if it goes berserk, few people can stop it; I suggest leaving it in the secret realm.”

The giant python drooped its entire head.

Yang Fei finally recovered and carefully examined the giant python’s condition.

“…As Senior Sister Song said, I’m a beast tamer, so… Junior Sister, does this giant python know you?”

Yang Fei looked at Ning Yue with certainty; he almost said it was definitely an old acquaintance.

Ning Yue didn’t know; she had only been in this world for a few days; how could she have met a spirit beast of this level?

“…How so?”

Yang Fei touched his chin and pondered. “The giant python is relaxed around you; it looks like a spirit beast you’ve bonded with for many years; it’s completely unguarded…”

“And…” Yang Fei said, “I found it strange earlier; if the Unity stage spirit beast really wanted to kill us, it wouldn’t need a single move”

“But it didn’t seem to want to fight us; it didn’t use much strength in its final attack; it was like it was playing with us…”

“So I think it’s harmless and can be brought back to the sect.

Even for Fusang Sect, a Unity stage spirit beast is a powerful weapon.”

Lu Qingyan: “Although I don’t understand spirit beasts, that’s true; if it had been serious, we wouldn’t have lasted a single move.”

Yu Xiao looked troubled. “But it’s so big; bringing it back is a problem.”

Shi Yinghan nodded. “Qiankun bag aren’t suitable for holding living creatures.”

“Jiang Yishen,” Ning Yue called, “try to heal its wounds; they look serious.”

Ning Yue still had a conscience; after all, the giant python hadn’t caused them much harm; she had ripped open its belly.

Not to mention the giant python staring at her with its large eyes.

It was harmless, but scary!!!

Jiang Yishen tried a healing technique; after a moment, he removed his hands and shook his head.

“It’s useless; the wounds are too serious; I can’t heal them; and the wounds caused by your fire seem particularly difficult to treat…”

Ning Yue: “…”

Haha… no way, she had thought she would be eaten, so she had diligently practiced the ancient fire and mastered it.

Since that’s the case, there’s nothing she can do; don’t blame her…

As a recompense for her uneasy conscience, Ning Yue touched the giant python’s head.

The giant python didn’t blame her; it rubbed against her obediently.

So snakes are this gentle? It didn’t seem to match Ning Yue’s common sense.

But the giant python’s gentle attitude made Ning Yue feel even more uneasy.

“…Could you shrink a little? Just make your body smaller; it’s difficult to move you this big,” Ning Yue suggested.

Unexpectedly, after looking at Ning Yue twice, the giant python actually shrunk proportionally.

It shrunk to the size of a normal snake, as thick as a wrist.

Ning Yue tore her already messy clothes and pulled out some strips of cloth.

She wrapped the snake with the cloth, barely covering the wound.

Her conscience forced Ning Yue, who had previously avoided snakes, to treat the snake’s wounds expressionlessly and let the snake coil around her neck.

…The snake asked to be around her neck; she didn’t do it herself!

Everyone: “…” Keep your distance.

After all, a large snake was terrifying in terms of strength difference, while a normal snake was terrifying physiologically.

The black snake coiled around Ning Yue’s neck, like a thick, black necklace that reflected light.

The snake’s cold skin was pressed against Ning Yue’s; she could feel the strange sensation of the black snake moving on her neck.

Ning Yue was still a little physiologically scared.

“…How about you coil around my arm? How about that? My arm is all yours, Brother Snake, what do you think?” Ning Yue hesitantly asked.

The black snake seemed to weakly shrink, coiling tighter around Ning Yue’s neck; its blue vertical pupils looked at Ning Yue resentfully.

Ning Yue gasped for breath.

Who’s more aggrieved!!!

She looked at her senior brothers and sisters.

They all looked away: “…”

They kept their distance and didn’t want to be bothered.

Ning Yue: “…”
