After Being Abducted and Raised by A Snake

“… Brother~! I know I was wrong. You can scold me or hit me. I don’t know what to do. I… …I seem to have fallen in love with him. He is about to lose everything and his family will be ruined because of my constant evil deeds. No matter how I help him, bad things always happen to him. Obviously, I have survived. Why is the Emperor of Heaven still refusing to let him go?”

“I really don’t want to see anything happen to him. Can you think of a way to save him?”

Although Bai Tianxian concealed part of the truth and mixed truth with falsehood, Wan Zhong could still hear it clear: it was Bai Tianxian who had pushed himself into the sea!

Wan Zhong was so shocked that he bit down on little Xuan Ming with his teeth. Xuan Ming gasped in pain and grabbed Wan Zhong’s hair.

In the darkness, Wan Zhong knelt in a small stone nest, covered with Xuan Ming’s red and black robe.

The hatred and anger in his heart at this moment burned as hot as the tears hidden in his eyes.

He wanted nothing more than to rush out and stab Bai Tianxian to death!

He didn’t care for any excuses or explanations from Bai Tianxian. He just wanted vengeance, an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth!

But… he couldn’t do it yet.

Following Xuan Ming’s lead, Wan Zhong swallowed the hot and thick food fed into his mouth. When his red tongue licked the residue at the corner of his mouth, Xuan Ming’s fingertips brushed the wet marks under his eyes. His cold fingers trembled slightly.

Thinking he had struck too hard and hurt his mate, Xuan Ming released Wan Zhong’s hair and pulled him close to his chest. He whispered in his ear, “I’ll be back soon.” Then he left with Bai Tianxian.

Wan Zhong didn’t know where the two brothers had gone or what they had done. Although Xuan Ming shouldn’t be moving around freely at this moment, he didn’t stop him.

He lit a fire, started a pot, and used a chopping ax to cut a whole wild boar that was frozen solid, into pieces like tofu.

The fat was rendered into golden lard, poured into the stone jar Xuan Ming had dug for him, and placed in the cellar to chill. The lean meat and bones were stored in stone urns and frozen in the ice cellar.

Idle hands were the devil’s workshop.

Wan Zhong busied himself, never allowing himself a moment of rest. The chopping ax made of black snake scales in his hand gleamed like obsidian in the sunlight.

Wan Zhong was curious.

Would this ax be enough to kill Bai Tianxian?

He felt he needed a larger ax and more strength to wield it.

.

As evening approached, his thoughts wandered while his hands and feet remained busy cooking.

He realized he had never shared a meal with that snake after being together for so long. A big snake demon, raised and pampered by a god, he was so arrogant that he consumed nothing but the energy of heaven and earth and the essence of the sun and moon.

Wan Zhong thought his efforts would be in vain, if he didn’t seize the opportunity to eat together now and he might never have it again…

All the vegetables in the garden had bloomed and borne fruit, and those stems and leaves similar to bitter herbs continued to grow. Wan Zhong picked them all. One crop after another, it was impossible for one person to finish foods alone.

He picked all the vegetables and used onions, ginger, and garlic to cook.

Not knowing Xuan Ming’s taste, he prepared the ingredients as he thought would be delicious.

When Xuan Ming and Bai Tianxian returned, they saw dozens of dishes arranged on a round table made of wooden pillars next to the vegetable garden.

Knowing Wan Zhong’s frugality and tendency to not eat much, Xuan Ming immediately sensed that he had prepared a feast to entertain his younger brother. He frowned slightly and said to Bai Tianxian, who was dripping with disdain beside him, “Why don’t you say thank you?”

“Tch~ I don’t care about him at all,” Bai Tianxian said dismissively, but his eyes lingered on the delicious dishes laid out on the table. Just as he was about to reach for the stewed pork ribs with chili pepper and mushrooms in the basin, Wan Zhong smacked the back of his hand hard with chopsticks.

Wan Zhong placed the two cold dishes in his hand – juicy tomatoes and cucumbers with minced garlic – on the table in front of Xuan Ming. He then rudely told Bai Tianxian, “I didn’t make these for you. They’re not for you. Go away.”

As Bai Tianxian made no effort to conceal his disdain and animosity toward Wan Zhong, Wan Zhong also openly displayed his aversion and hostility toward Bai Tianxian.
