After Being Abducted and Raised by A Snake

Through this period of getting along, Wan Zhong discovered that as long as he spoke sweetly and followed the black snake, it was actually quite easy to deal with.

“Thank you, handsome snake! I knew you were the best snake in the world!”

Wan Zhong picked up the chicken skin bag prepared long ago, rode on the black snake’s tail, and looked back, only to find that it wasn’t the usual routine of using boulders to block the hole.

It seemed it was just afraid he might run away and was very not worried about the treasures.

Wan Zhong retracted his thoughts, hugged the arched body of the black snake, put away his feet, and clamped the tail of the riding snake firmly with his legs. After adjusting his sitting position one last time, he patted the belly of the black snake’s tail. The under scale was smoother than the others and felt slightly warm to the touch.

“Handsome snake, let’s go, I’ll sit down.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the black snake suddenly twitched violently like a cramp. It moved its body and straightened its tail.

Wan Zhong almost fell off riding on the black snake’s suddenly straightened tail and asked hurriedly, “What’s wrong with you, handsome snake? Did I hurt you by patting you? Sorry, I’ll rub it for you right now.”

As he said that, he blew on the slightly heated scales and reached out to rub it up and down, left and right, to let it calm down.

The black snake suddenly used its tail to wrap around him. Its head twisted around, lowering its body. It narrowed its vertical pupils and spat out scarlet and slender snake tongue dangerously at him, as if giving a silent warning: ‘Don’t try that again!’

Wan Zhong: “!!!”

He shrank his head, quickly took his hands away, and while avoiding the black snake’s high-pressure gaze, he hugged its tail and started to pretend to be dead.

This was a little trick he accidentally picked up while getting along with the black snake.

When he made a mistake, like sneaking out when the black snake coiled around him to sleep or accidentally breaking a borrowed gold instrument from the black snake’s treasure pile, as long as he avoided its sight, hugged its tail, and pretended to be weak, pitiful, and helpless, it would leave him alone.

Heart pounding, back dripping with sweat, he couldn’t guarantee this method would work every time.

Just as he held his breath, about to faint from the black snake’s powerful aura, the black snake finally softened its body and began moving forward with him on its back.

This was like the past, and it wouldn’t blame him anymore.

Wan Zhong breathed a sigh of relief, hugging the black snake’s tail and not daring to touch it casually. Even if the scale appeared in his hand again, he was careful not to touch it. He added another rule to the rules for getting along with black snakes: the smooth and slightly heated reverse scale about 2 meters away from the tail of the black snake couldn’t be touched.

.

The cool breeze brushed across his face as the black snake sped through the landscape.

Wan Zhong still couldn’t relax, always wary of potential scratches or bumps.

Though not his first time traveling on the tail of a black snake and being hung up on the limbs before, he couldn’t fully trust the black snake and still felt a bit uneasy.

It wasn’t until his legs were tired and his waist sore that he could no longer hold onto the black snake’s tail, so he cautiously lowered his feet.

Encountering obstacles like thorns and stones, the black snake, too fast to retract its tail, made him think he was about to be hit. Prepared for injury and pain, he would scream, but the black snake always lifted its tail in time, guiding him out of harm’s way.

It seemed to sense his fear.

Raising its tail to a suitable height, keeping his toes away from the ground, it also wrapped the tail around his waist against his back. The strength was neither loose nor tight, providing a secure hold.

In this way, Wan Zhong gradually relaxed in the sense of security given by the black snake. Swinging on his toes and holding the snake’s tail around his waist, he looked around.

This wasn’t his first time entering the jungle’s depths. However, this time he wasn’t panicked, uneasy, or afraid; his mental state was surprisingly good.

The fragrance of moist air filled his nose, and the crisp chirping of birds and sweet rustling of leaves surrounded him. In the lush greenery, the forest creatures scattered, making way for them.

In the jungle, Wan Zhong felt like he was in Alice’s Wonderland, and his long-dull mood suddenly lightened.

As the last rays of the setting sun faded, the black snake carried him over mountains and across the sea, reaching its long-standing secret base.

Wan Zhong shivered in the cold wind, looking at the black snake with question marks on his face.

Observing it…

First, it descended with a roar like a tiger, then leisurely stretched its huge snake body, flicked its tail toward the bloody full moon, and casually took out the snake mirror, reflecting the night.

Wan Zhong: “…”

He thought the black snake had a dirty secret, but it turned out to be mere narcissism in another place.

He muttered to himself that it was just a black snake with two green eyes, no third color in its whole body. The black and autumn colors almost blend into the night. What was there to take a look? Was it afraid of the color fading? It was really too much.

Wan Zhong had been complaining about the black snake in his heart for a while, but he didn’t dare show his discontent in front of the serpent.

.

The terrain they traversed was exceptionally high, and by the moonlight, they could vaguely see floating clouds passing overhead.

Regret filled him for venturing out late at night.

Caught between mountain and sea breezes, his body stiffened rapidly from the cold. Squatting on the ground, freezing, he contemplated whether to ask the black snake to send him back, or at least take him down the mountain first. The black snake broke off a tree crown, rolled up a white stone from nowhere, and threw it to the ground.

The white stone hit the ground, and a white light rose, mixed with a lot of smoke and heat. After a while, flames shot up from the ground, igniting the branches and sparking a fire.

The black snake rolled the slightly frozen Wan Zhong to the fire, using its long and thick snake body to surround him and the blazing fire. Like a copper wall, it blocked the unbridled wind rolling from all directions.

Wan Zhong sat back in a daze, surrounded by stacked black snake coils. As his body temperature gradually returned, he felt a little guilty.

He shouldn’t have complained about the black snake earlier.

Although its narcissism might be amusing, in the history of human mental illness research, narcissism was also a disorder that required treatment. But the black snake was just a snake. Regardless of how much it loved to look in the mirror or how narcissistic it was, it didn’t bother him or anyone else.

And so far, the black snake had never done anything to harm him. On the contrary, it had been very kind. It cared so much about the mirror but it lent the mirror to him to light a fire. Instead, he had secretly complained that it liked to look in the mirror and laughed at its narcissism…

It was truly inappropriate.

Wan Zhong silently apologized to the black snake in his heart, vowing never to laugh at its narcissism again.

But as he glanced at the mirror, the black snake, who should have been immersed in beautiful narcissism, was lost in thought.

[Mirror, mirror.]

[I am no longer clean after being touched, what should I do~]
