Chapter 41 - The Wild Snake Finally Hibernated I
Wan Zhong couldn’t withstand Xuan Ming’s insistence. He frowned and asked him, “I’ve obeyed you so many times, why can’t you obey me once?” He punched him on the shoulder, but it was tickling for Xuan Ming.
Xuan Ming chuckled, taking it as a sweet flirtation.
Reaching out to touch Wan Zhong’s furrowed eyebrows, he kissed him with slight comfort. The scales on his tail opened and closed, transforming into long, slender, and powerful legs.
He really couldn’t say no to his spouse.
But for Wan Zhong, Xuan Ming as a human provided Wan Zhong with a completely different experience.
The cold and slippery snake tail made Wan Zhong uncontrollably want to escape, but the smooth and powerful legs drew him closer to Xuan Ming involuntarily.
Xuan Ming also noticed the changes in the Wan Zhong. He happily put his lips to Wan Zhong’s ear and coaxed, “Louder, I like to hear your voice.”
Wan Zhong flushed and looked at him with a little shame, whispering a few words into his ears…
Xuan Ming hesitated, and under Wan Zhong’s increasingly perplexed gaze, he asked him in a low voice, “How?”
Wan Zhong chuckled and then realized that even if Xuan Ming transformed into a human, he never walked on his legs; he just floated around. He guessed that it couldn’t use its legs flexibly at all, so he could only guide and teach it a little clumsily.
And Xuan Ming was a very astute student.
Not only did it grasp concepts easily, but it also drew inferences adeptly. After a while, Wan Zhong found himself revering him as his teacher.
Xuan Ming asked Wan Zhong, “Have you ever entangled tail with other snakes? Or mated with anyone?”
Sweat dripped from Wan Zhong’s forehead into his eyes, and he looked at Xuan Ming somewhat confusedly, asking, “Why do you ask that?”
Xuan Ming picked up a cloth and wiped the sweat from Wan Zhong’s face, sounding a bit bitter: “You seem very experienced and knowledgeable compared to me.”
“…”
Wan Zhong suddenly wanted to know whether Xuan Ming’s love for him was pure joy and possessiveness or if it held deeper significance.
He teasingly asked, “Well, I have seen this.”
Xuan Ming stopped, grabbed his shoulder, and shook him hard in disbelief, saying sternly, “Are you serious? Have you ever seen another snake?”
Wan Zhong took a breath and furrowed his brows, saying, “What’s wrong? Why couldn’t I see another snake?” He looked directly at Xuan Ming, feeling a chill in his heart from the anger surging in his eyes. He attempted to stand up, but Xuan Ming refused to let go.
He seemed very angry that Wan Zhong had been with someone else, relentlessly pestering him until he softened into a puddle of water in his arms, lacking the strength even to move his fingers. Then, Wan Zhong buried his head in Xuan Ming’s neck and heard the man muttered, “From now on, there can only be me and no one else.”
Wan Zhong felt it was childish, and he fell into a deep sleep.
.
When he woke up, he was covered with Xuan Ming’s clothes, lying next to the fire and encircled by Xuan Ming’s arms, with the snake’s tail lying between him and the fire.
As Wan Zhong moved his sore legs, he heard Xuan Ming suddenly ask him, “Do you still have him in your heart?”
Wan Zhong was puzzled and asked, “Who?”
“The one who gave you experience.”
Xuan Ming hugged Wan Zhong tightly and bombarded him with questions.
“You rejected me before, was it because of him? Do you want to go home, do you want to go back to find him? Is he better than me? Does he also have a caring mirror? Does he have more gold than me? Is his demon power higher than mine? My city stretching thousands of miles, is it bigger than my Snake Castle? Is he also the master of a world? Most importantly, is he as good-looking as me? Is he also immortal?”
“…”
Wan Zhong replied, “Do you really mind that much?”
“Yeah,” Xuan Ming admitted unabashedly. “I feel very sad, very jealous. I hate why you didn’t come to me earlier. I wish I could kill him.”
Wan Zhong responded, “If you really mind that much, you can just find someone who has never had any relationship experience. You don’t have to—um~”
“I want you. I don’t want anyone but you.” Xuan Ming fiercely bit Wan Zhong’s lips, filled with jealousy, and continued, “Did he kiss you like this?”
Wan Zhong licked his broken lips and was defeated by the snake. He also took a hard bite on the snake tongue and said, “Okay. Come on, don’t be jealous. I’m just teasing you. I have no one, only you.”
Xuan Ming didn’t believe it. “Then why are you so experienced when using your legs?”
Wan Zhong retorted, “Isn’t it the same when you use your tail?”
Xuan Ming snorted coldly. “That’s different. I’m a snake. Of course, I can use my tail.”
Wan Zhong also snorted, “Then I’m also a human. Can’t I use my legs?”
Xuan Ming still persisted until it was confirmed that Wan Zhong had indeed not been with the other snake. Then he became happy again, hugged him, and said happily, “Me neither, you are also my first.”
Wan Zhong smiled on the surface, but in his heart, he didn’t care at all whether Xuan Ming had a relationship history.
Having lived for such a long time and being in excellent condition in all aspects, Wan Zhong knew Xuan Ming would become an immortal soon. It didn’t require much thought to realize that Xuan Ming was very popular. He didn’t believe the snake could be pure at heart and endure thousands of years of loneliness. Not to mention the nature of snakes, but considering his long and terrifying estrus period, he wouldn’t tolerate being single, right?
If Xuan Ming claimed to have countless harems but never established a relationship with anyone, Wan Zhong would reluctantly believe it. But when Xuan Ming said that he was his first, Wan Zhong could only chuckle politely.
