Chapter 41 If this one doesn’t work, try another one. There’s always a suitable one.

After Jiang Li caught the fish, the three little ones had already built up their fire. They quickly cleaned a few of the fish and put them on the fire. At this time, Guo Xia leisurely came over, grinning at Jiang Li. “Jiang Li, do you need any help?” Jiang Li pointed to the fish in the hands of the three little ones, “Help them clean the fish.” “Alright!” Guo Xia answered readily and went to help clean the fish. Jiang Li then remembered someone, looked around, and didn’t see his figure.

“Guo Xia, where’s Ye Yao?” she asked casually. Guo Xia slightly raised his head, his hand scraping fish scales, but he didn’t stop. “Someone came to call him to handle some matters.” Jiang Li nodded, lightly “oh”ing, and didn’t ask further. Soon, the fish on the fire gave off a fragrant smell, a few fish were cooked, Jiang Li stuffed the cooked fish into the hands of the three little ones and Guo Xia. “Jiang Li, I won’t eat it.” He was just helping.

 As he was about to stuff the fish back, Jiang Li reached out to stop his action. “You helped us, have some.” Guo Xia looked at the grilled fish in his hand and hesitated slightly. The three little ones saw that he didn’t take a bite, so they gently poked Guo Xia with their small hands. “Sister’s grilled fish is delicious.” “Yes, yes, yes.” Guo Xia saw that the three little ones were recommending it, and he smiled and agreed. “Alright, then I’ll try it.” Guo Xia took a bite, and as the three little ones said, it was indeed delicious, he finished it in a few bites. After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they lay under the big tree to cool off, with a gentle breeze blowing from time to time.

Jiang Li touched her protruding belly, a slight smile appeared on her lips. This was the most relaxing day she had had in decades. Guo Xia, seeing Jiang Li’s hand constantly on her protruding belly, slowly opened his mouth and asked the question he had been wondering. “Jiang Li, are you pregnant?” Now that she was showing, it was obvious to everyone.

 Facing Guo Xia’s question, Jiang Li didn’t hide it. “Yes.” The three little ones had already transformed into their beast forms and were fast asleep. Guo Xia was slightly stunned, and he joked, “You’re honest, it seems Ye Yao has become the third wheel.”

 Jiang Li smiled faintly and didn’t say anything. They were just forced together by the Snake King, what would happen in the future was unknown. She wouldn’t stay here forever. Just as Guo Xia was asking Jiang Li who the father of the child was, a soldier came to them, blocking the dazzling sunlight.

Guo Xia and Jiang Li propped themselves up with their hands and slowly sat up, looking at the soldier in confusion. “The King has asked me to invite Jiang Li to come.” “Okay.” Jiang Li got up, and before leaving, she instructed Guo Xia, “Take care of them for me.” Guo Xia nodded in agreement. Jiang Li followed behind the soldier and came to the Snake King’s residence.

 Luckily, it wasn’t too far, otherwise, in this hot weather, she would have probably died of heat on the way. The Snake King’s residence was just as secluded as Ye Yao’s, and next to it was a bamboo hut with closed doors and windows. Jiang Li was slightly surprised to see the bamboo hut and stopped in her tracks. After all, all the residences here were caves, and the sudden appearance of a bamboo hut attracted her attention.

The soldier walking in front felt the person behind him stop, he also stopped and turned around slightly. “What is this for?” Jiang Li asked. “This bamboo hut is specifically for storing books. The cave is cool and damp, and over time, the books will get moldy and infested with insects.” Jiang Li nodded in understanding. At this time, the soldier opened his mouth again, “Let’s go in quickly.” Jiang Li finally came back to her senses, remembering that the Snake King was waiting for her, she retracted her gaze, nodded quickly, and strode forward. Inside the cave, besides the Snake King, there was also their witch, Feng Luo. The soldier saluted the two of them and then turned to leave, leaving Jiang Li alone. “Greetings to the Snake King.

” Jiang Li was still a little puzzled, she didn’t know what the Snake King had called her here for. “The witch just calculated, five days later is a good day, I will have someone deliver the clothes to Ye Yao’s residence, just in time for your child to be born.” Jiang Li was slightly stunned, then nodded. “Yes.” “But our royal family has a custom.” “Huh?

” Jiang Li raised her head in confusion. The witch was holding a piece of white shell in her hand, slowly walking to Jiang Li. The Snake King, sitting in front, explained. “This shell is Ye Yao’s, after all, you are an outsider, since you chose Ye Yao, according to custom, we need to check the compatibility between you two, so that you can successfully produce offspring for the snake tribe.” Jiang Li slightly frowned after hearing this.

 “What if it doesn’t work?” “If it doesn’t work, then switch to Ye Sheng’s.” As he spoke, Feng Luo revealed the shell in his other hand. The Snake King then, as if he was selling a product, spoke to Jiang Li. “If this one doesn’t work, then switch to another one, there’s always one that’s suitable!” Jiang Li slightly pouted. What if none of them work? Can she be let go? But she only dared to think about it in her heart, how could she dare to say it to their faces? “What should I do?” Feng Luo handed Jiang Li a dagger. “Just take some blood and drop it into the shell.”

 Jiang Li took the dagger and did as Feng Luo said. The bright red blood dripped into the shell, blooming like a mandala flower. In the blink of an eye, her blood was instantly absorbed by the shell. Seeing this, Jiang Li couldn’t help but blink in surprise. “How is it?”

The Snake King in front stretched his neck, his vision was slightly obstructed, he urged Feng Luo to ask. Feng Luo turned to look at the Snake King, “Snake King, it has fused.” As soon as these five simple words came out, the Snake King’s face broke into a smile, even his wrinkles were squeezed together. “Good, good! Hurry up and prepare for it.” Feng Luo nodded. “Yes.”

Then he pushed out of the cave. Jiang Li, who was completely confused, reacted belatedly after hearing this, realizing that she had successfully matched with Ye Yao. If that’s the case, then she shouldn’t have anything to do with it, right? “You go back and rest, just wait for these days.” The Snake King couldn’t hide the smile on his face.

 Jiang Li understood his emotions, the curse that had plagued him for over a hundred years was finally about to be broken, anyone would be too happy to sleep. “Snake King, I have a favor to ask.” “Huh? What is it?” “When I came here just now, I noticed a bamboo hut next to it, I asked the soldier, and he said it was for storing books. Can I go in and take a look?”

This small request, the Snake King naturally agreed. “There are many ancient books stored in there, if you want to see them, go ahead.” “Yes, thank you, Snake King.”
