Chapter 11 Extra: Quint's Story
Quint, the sacred beast of the snake clan, is eerie and cold-blooded. He is used to observing in the dark and waiting for his chance to act. He has a keen sense of touch and can judge the existence of things from the moisture in the air.
However, if you think that all snakes are like this, you are wrong.
On this day, the elders of the snake tribe summoned Quint and said that in order to reproduce, they had chosen a future princess for Quint, but since Quint now had to stay in the human world as a "hostage", they also planned to send the future princess to the human world and let Quint slowly teach her human culture and customs.
The elder said: "Anyway, this is the future princess who has been unanimously approved by several of our elders. You have to accept it whether you like it or not!"
So, Quint brought the legendary future princess from the demon world.
I have to say, this future princess is so beautiful that one can tell at first glance that she must be a fairy in disguise, but her IQ...
"I really don't understand why the word '厂' can be divided into these numbers? Why? Addition, subtraction, and multiplication all get the value from top to bottom, but only division has special treatment?" The future princess held a pencil in her hand and yelled at the exercises in the exercise book.
"The word 'factory'?" Hearing this, Quint, who had been rolling his eyes at the window, walked over curiously to take a look.
"That's a division sign!" Quint growled helplessly.
"I don't care what the number is. I just don't like special treatment in division!" The future princess pouted proudly, and was arguing with this division.
"Don't worry about whether it's special or not. This is a human thing. If you want to survive here, you have to learn it!"
I could see thick veins popping out of Quint's temples.
This is not the first time that the future princess has complained like this.
"You are still the Snake King. You have only been in the human world for such a short time, but you obey the human world in everything. I despise you!"
The future princess looked at Quint, and the contempt in her eyes almost made Quint feel ashamed.
"You..." Quint growled, but then clenched his fists, trying hard to control his anger.
"The word '厂' actually has a tail. Is this something that was introduced from our snake culture? I like this division sign."
The future princess looked at the homework book with an innocent face, and suddenly pulled Quint excitedly and talked, as if she had discovered a new world.
"That's the square root!"
Quint finally couldn't stand it anymore and yelled out.
"It's just a square root! Why are you shouting so loudly?" The future princess still looked innocent, rolled her eyes, and then picked her ears.
"Forget it, let's put math aside for now and try making sentences in Chinese." Quint was already shaking from holding back his anger, and once again swallowed down the anger that had already risen to his throat.
"Whatever!" The future princess was obedient. She put her math homework book aside and took out her Chinese homework book. She read the questions and answered them with a pen at the back. "Please make a sentence using 'innocent'. It's really hot today!"
I saw a vein pop out in Quint's forehead.
"Sad? The river in front of my house is very sad!" the future princess continued to read.
The veins on Quint's head seemed to be about to burst. Woohoo, Quint, you have to hold on, otherwise I will be very sad.
"One after another? It's raining, and my dad is coming back one after another."
OMG!
Princess-to-be, how many fathers do you have?
"Please change the following sentence into a passive sentence and a "ba" sentence. I was let go by the kite, and the kite let me go!"
Woohoo, princess-to-be, how frail are you?
"That's enough..." Quint finally couldn't stand it anymore. He snatched the princess-to-be's homework book, twisted it into a ball and threw it on the ground. He then grabbed the princess-to-be's neck and said coldly, "Tell me, if I strangle you to death, do I have to marry you?"
"That's for sure! How can I marry you if I'm dead? But, it seems the elders said that if you're not satisfied with me, they'll send my sister over. Hehe, she's a snotty-nosed bastard! If you don't mind bringing a baby along, just go ahead and strangle me to death! I don't like the human world anyway!"
Quint seemed to be petrified, and finally broke into pieces, scattered all over the ground. When the breeze blew, he floated out of the window.
Haha! Quint, this may be God's punishment! Who made you sell out your friends for freedom? Now there is finally someone who can control you. I must thank God for his grace!
With a low growl, Quint shook off his hand and walked out of the study.
"Wow!"
There was no time to escape, and I ran head-on into the enraged Quint.
Woohoo, now that he is so angry, will he swallow me directly?
"What are you doing here?"
Quint glared at me with a gloomy face, and it was obvious on his face that he was in a bad mood right now, and you'd better give me a reasonable explanation.
"Hehe, Xixi and I are here to teach the future princess her lessons!" I smiled foolishly and used Xi Zixi as a shield.
Woohoo, I'd rather die with someone behind me. Even if I'm swallowed by Quint, I'd still run wild in his stomach with Xi Ziqian.
"Yes, yes, yes, you guys chat first, I'll go in to accompany the future princess!" Xi Ziqian blinked innocently, and slipped into the study room without any loyalty.
Woo woo, you stinky Sissi, didn’t you want to protect me with your life?
"Princess-to-be, are the questions for us humans difficult?" As soon as Xi Ziqian entered the room, she picked up the homework book that Quint had crumpled up on the ground and started to read it. "Everything you did before was correct! Ah! Can you even do advanced math? I can't even do it!"
"What's so difficult about these? In our demon world, these are child's play. We know them the moment we are born! I don't understand why you humans are so stupid. You take so long to teach such simple questions, and some people even fail the exam! This is amazing!"
The future princess had a look of disdain on her face, and quickly wrote down her ideas for solving the problem on her math homework book with a pencil in her hand.
"Then why did you pretend to be so stupid in front of Quint? He was so mad! Didn't you see the look in his eyes just now ? It could have killed someone!" Xi Ziqian asked curiously. Would the future princess become stupid in front of Quint?
"Hehe, don't you think he's cute when he's angry?" The future princess raised her eyebrows with a smile, pink bubbles in her eyes.
This future princess is so weird. She made Quint so angry that he was jumping up and down, but she still looked obsessed with him. I really admire her!
"We snakes are the best at disguising ourselves. Because we are so good at it, we often don't know how to express our feelings. Quint is a typical example!" The future princess bit the pen and said leisurely, "Maybe because he is the snake king, the prince of the snake clan, he has more responsibilities. He has to hide himself and observe secretly all the time, so he even forgets the most basic emotions. The elders chose me because they hope I can save this prince and restore his original character so that he can survive better in the human world!"
"I suddenly adore you so much!"
Hearing this, Xi Ziqian showed an admiring look.
She was able to remain calm under Quint's rage. For him, she tried every possible way to make Quint angry!
Is this the true love in their demon world?
Woohoo, suddenly I feel like I have done so little for Ino!
I looked at Quint. Oh my god! Was I seeing things? The stern Snake King actually smiled!
"I'm also thinking about my own lifelong happiness! Think about it, if I have to face a silent and terrifying husband for the rest of my life, wouldn't that be more painful than death? Moreover, the lifespan of us demons is a hundred times that of you humans. I'm only five hundred years old now, which means I still have to face him for another nine thousand five hundred years! Even if he is already five thousand years old, I still have to face him for five thousand years!" the future princess said as a matter of course.
Isn't this future princess too realistic? She even calculated Quint's survival time so accurately.
However, their sacred beasts all have a lifespan of 10,000 years. By then, I will have become an old woman, and Ino will still be as young and beautiful as she is now? What should I do then?
When I get home, I must ask my father if there is any magic that can make me immortal. Otherwise, I will think about whether there is any way to shorten Ino's life.
Just think about it, when I am old and wrinkled, Ino will still be so handsome. He can be my grandson by then, but he will still hold my hand and say, "Dear Xiaoqian, let's go watch the sunset together." How weird that picture will be!
I will never let this happen!
"Walk!"
Quint took my hand and walked quickly to the door.
"What?"
I swallowed guiltily. Could it be that he knew I saw his smile and wanted to kill me to silence me?
"I'll treat you to ice cream!"
Quint turned around and winked at me.
It seems a bit weird! I still prefer Quint's cool and spooky look!
"Well... well, I don't want to eat now!"
I nervously tried to break free.
How could Quint be so kind as to treat me to ice cream? He would be laughing if he didn't treat me to poison, and it's not convenient for me to eat cold things today!
I was half-heartedly dragged by Quint to an ice cream shop.
"Wuwu, Quint, I promise I will forget everything I saw today. You, you don't... Wuwu, don't kill me to silence me!" I grabbed the door and begged bitterly.
Help me, I haven't graduated yet, and I haven't married Ino and had children yet, how could I be poisoned by Quint?
"ah……"
A sudden flying kick sent Quint flying to the ground.
It was so violent, it was obvious that it was Ino.
"Xiao Qian, are you okay? Did Quint hurt you?" Ino pulled me anxiously, almost making me dizzy, and checked if I was okay.
"I'm fine!" I sighed helplessly. Ino is just making a fuss about nothing. But, I love him like this!
"I'm glad you're okay!" Ino finally breathed a sigh of relief, squinting his eyes and glaring at Quint who was screaming in pain on the ground, "Quint, you're really going too far, bullying Xiao Qian. Don't you forget who lifted the seal and let us be free forever?"
"I, I just want to treat Xiao Qian to ice cream, and bring some for the princess!" Quint got up from the ground aggrieved, covered his chest that was kicked, and pointed to the sign at the door -
If you love her, treat her to Ha××s!
I never knew Quint was such a romantic and handsome boy!
"If you love her, treat her to a meal at Harry's?" Ino tilted his head and looked at the words on the sign, "Xiao Qian..."
"Xiao Qian, I want to eat, I want to eat!" Ino, who loves food, revealed his true colors. "You love me very much, right? I love you very much too, so, how about we treat each other to food? This way we can love each other very much!"
This seems to make sense.
"Okay! But I'll only eat a little!" I nodded in compromise.
"No, we want to buy the whole store and eat all the ice cream and chocolate, so that no one can separate us!" Ino said seriously, and the seriousness in his eyes made it impossible to refuse.
With a bang, I seemed to be struck by a thunder and turned into charcoal ash, and then floated away with the wind.
Without giving me a chance to refuse, Ino dragged me into the ice cream shop and actually asked the clerk to pay for everything so that he could eat it all right there!
Wow, why is it such a coincidence that Ino knew the slogan of Ha×× just when he was not feeling well?
Is this Quint's revenge on me for eavesdropping on his conversation with the princess-to-be ?
Woohoo! It must be!
"Hey! Leave one for the princess!" Quint, who had not yet recovered, caught up with us pitifully.
I never knew this sinister snake king was so persistent! Even though he was injured like this, he still didn't forget to ask for an ice cream for the future princess.
"Don't even think about it. Today's ice cream belongs to Xiaoqian and me. I'll take care of tomorrow's too. Just give up on this idea!" Ino announced domineeringly.
"Ino, I want to duel with you..."
Quint's shouts drifted far away.
It is conceivable that in front of the delicious food, Quint's challenge was definitely asking for trouble. Not only did he fail to grab the ice cream, he was also kicked thousands of miles away by Ino.
Quint, take care of yourself!
But I am the more miserable one!
Just like that, because of my physical discomfort and the large amount of ice cream I ate, I lay in bed screaming in pain for the whole day. Not only did my mother nag me until my ears were covered with calluses, but I also had to face my father's poker face, saying that if I didn't take good care of myself, he would seal these sacred beasts again.
Woohoo, I am the victim!
However, there are still good things.
Just when I recovered enough energy to get out of bed and go to school, the future princess excitedly announced to me that Quint had proposed to her and they would get married by the end of the year! She also said that they had decided to have many snake babies.
However, I am somewhat puzzled: will the children they give birth to be viviparous or oviparous?
Also, were the ones they gave birth to little snakes or cute babies?
Woohoo, when I think about visiting the future princess and facing a nest of little snakes, I can't help but shiver.
Do I have to force myself to smile and say, "Haha, the child really looks like you or Quint"?
It seems I need to consult my father to see if there is any way for them to give birth to a human baby.
Oh, it’s so annoying, there are so many things to consider!
