Netherworld Chapter 77: The Only Life Pulse (4)
This scared me so much that I woke up with a start. When I opened my eyes, the little beauty was gone, but a pink and tender snake was lying on my chest, whipping me with its tail.
"Master Jiao? When did you come here?" I grabbed the tail that kept slapping my face and held it upside down.
Jiao Ye curled up unwillingly, wrapped his arms around me and crawled over. In the blink of an eye, he crawled to my face and licked my face affectionately with his tongue.
This guy is becoming more and more like a dog.
I grabbed her from my shoulders and held her in my palm. After not seeing her for a few days, Jiaoye was still as pink and tender as ever. However, the golden color at the tip of her tail was becoming more and more obvious, and it was also extending upwards.
I guess this is an aftereffect of eating those strange bones. I wonder if its whole body will turn golden if it eats too much.
Did you come from the Five Elements Taoist Temple? I asked it curiously.
Mr. Jiao shook his head and rolled it into a pile of shit in my palm. Soon he shook his head again and looked around, then began to spin it in circles in my palm. It spun for a while and then stopped for a while. I was confused. Was this a pantomime? When did he change his interest?
Maybe it was the puzzled expression on my face that made it feel uncomfortable, so it hit my fingers twice with its little golden tail, then turned its little head and went away.
What’s the matter? It’s still angry... I laughed and turned its head back: You can’t speak, you’re just spinning in circles, how can the monster understand you?
Mr. Jiao stared at me with his round black eyes and tilted his head slightly, as if he was thinking about what I said.
This adorable look made me laugh.
At this time, there was a burst of voices outside, and the little beauty could be heard shouting: That old bastard, why didn't he let me go! Humph! When I become stronger in the future, I will definitely beat Wu Xing Mai and him down! I also want him to stand all the time, starve him to death, and thirst him to death!
Okay, just say less. How come you haven't changed your temper for so many years? The old woman's voice also came in.
Junior sister, what are you saying? After all, Fanran is also one of our Du Sheng Meridian, how can we allow an old man of the Five Elements Meridian to mess around with him? Look, it's only been a few days, and he has lost weight. Someone said indignantly: I don't know what ghost has bewitched my senior brother, and he actually asked him to help us and showed him the method, it's really...
That’s right, the head master is too confused… the beautiful girl agreed.
Senior Brother Du, Fanran is my daughter, and also his niece. As an elder, there is nothing wrong with him helping me take care of things. As for why he came here, I think Senior Brother has his own considerations. Now we should focus on the overall situation, and grudges and right and wrong are not important. The old woman said.
I listened to their conversation through the crack of the door, which made me feel a little embarrassed. The disputes between the old Taoist priest and others should be settled by themselves. But everyone here thinks that I am in the same group with the old Taoist priest and we are not good people.
This was simply a case of injustice, but the people here were all of the same temper and would not tolerate explanations. The only broad-minded old lady, a woman, could not make the decision.
Oh, mother, that little bastard? If I can’t cure the old one, I’ll ask my uncle to cure the younger one! The little beauty said.
When I heard this, I was both angry and panicked. This bitch was too ungrateful. After all, I had fed her and had been kind enough to take her out of the Wei family. Now she wanted to find someone to punish me.
Don't worry, I will take care of this matter, I promise...
Okay, okay, it's just a matter between kids, why are you interfering? The old woman said: Besides, I think the boy is a good person, don't bother him for no reason.
"Mom! He is definitely a bastard. Last time, he fed me something that had been bitten by a snake, trying to poison me to death! And he took advantage of me!" The little beauty said unwillingly.
You can say that people are 90% bad, and the good part will be rotten in your stomach. The old woman said helplessly: Your uncle has restrained you. He won't carry you out. Do you want me to carry you? I think the young man is pretty good, honest, and not so fancy. Moreover, he must have some skills to stay with your uncle for so long.
What uncle? I don’t have an uncle, and I don’t have a father! I only have a mother! The little beauty shouted.
Don't talk nonsense. The old woman scolded: Elders are elders, no matter how unhappy you are, you can't change it. Besides, I told you what happened back then, it has nothing to do with them. With your temper, you need your uncle to temper it. If you don't change it, how can you get married in the future!
All men are bad! I don’t want them! said the little beauty.
Suddenly! Ah, Senior Brother Du, she didn't mean you, she meant another man... Suddenly, if you keep talking nonsense, I'll have my uncle seal your mouth too. The old woman's tone sank.
I was so happy listening to the song, I can imagine that Senior Brother Du must have looked unhappy. But then I thought, am I not a man too? How can I not be a good person?
The dragon was spinning in my palm. When it saw me looking down at it, it turned its belly up and trembled in my palm. Did this pantomime mean that it had burst its belly with laughter?
Confucius was right. Only villains and women are difficult to raise, no matter if they are women or female snakes.
By the way, Fanran is not able to move around easily now, so I’d like to trouble Senior Brother Du to go back and get the food, the old woman said.
Well, that's natural. When they heard that Fan Ran was back, those guys had already gone to prepare the food. Hahaha, with such a daughter, you don't have to worry about anything in the future, Junior Sister.
That's right, Uncle Du, you have to talk to my mother more often in the future, so that she won't always think that I can't get married. The little beauty said proudly.
"Okay, okay, you are already in your twenties, but you still act like a child. Only those naive boys would like you," said the old woman.
Mom...the little beauty started to act coquettishly .
The young man is not downstairs, he must have gone upstairs, I will go call him. Brother Du, you can just send the food over later, but don’t bring those young boys here, the old woman said.
I was relieved to hear her say that. If there are really a few young fools at the dinner, they will definitely cause trouble. They don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is. Although I know it, I can't help it. If we meet and say a few words to tease each other, and the beautiful girl provokes us again, we will definitely fight.
Putting aside other things, just thinking about the fact that my mother owed the old woman back then, I can't make her unhappy.
At this moment, I heard footsteps on the stairs. I quickly hid from the door and ran back to bed and pretended to be asleep.
After a while, someone knocked on the door: Young man, young man...
Hey, hey... I'm coming. I pretended to sound like I had just woken up, got up from the bed and opened the door.
I guessed that you were tired and would definitely find a place to sleep. I was not thoughtful enough and forgot to remind you. The old woman smiled and said: You must be hungry. Let's go downstairs to eat.
I nodded, and just as I stepped out of the room, I heard the beautiful girl yelling downstairs: Hey, hey! You stinky hooligan, who told you to sleep in my room!
I was confused. Is this your room? I looked back and saw nothing in the room related to women.
Facing my inquiring gaze, the old woman chuckled, nodded and said: This is indeed Fanran's room. I used to live in a cave, she lived alone and didn't like downstairs. How is it, are you used to sleeping here?
I was in a daze and my head was dizzy: habit... habit.
What kind of woman is this? Although she looks pretty, she has a manly personality and even the place she lives in is manly. Did she get the wrong identity when she was reincarnated?
After going downstairs, the beautiful girl tilted her neck and snorted: I knew he was not a good guy, he even entered the girl's room. If you want to sleep in that room, I will give it to you, and then I will burn it down and disinfect it!
The old lady was beside me, and although I was furious, I had to hold back my anger. Otherwise, I might have slapped her twice.
Disinfection... Do you think I'm a dish or chopstick? I disinfect it after one use!
I cursed her in my heart and felt relieved. The old woman scolded me, saying, "Don't talk nonsense. What's the use of poison? If you keep talking nonsense, I'll have someone send you back!"
Mom! The little beauty pouted and glared at me fiercely.
Why are you glaring at me? If you keep glaring at me, you'll get pregnant! I glared at her fiercely, cursing her to get married and give birth to eight babies, and to suck them into a mummy.
At this time, a man in his forties with a small mustache walked in. He looked very kind and was holding a traditional rice basket, from which the aroma of food wafted.
But when he came in and saw me, his face didn't look very good. He came over to take the food out of the cage and didn't even look at me.
The old woman smiled and said: This is my senior brother Du. He took care of Fanran when I was away.
This is the guy. After listening to what he said just now, it's no wonder that the little beauty has such a savage temper now. I thought to myself, and I couldn't help but have a very bad impression of this man. But then again, except for the head Tao Tiansong and the old woman in front of me, there are really few people in the whole Du Sheng Clan who are pleasing to the eye.
They are all practitioners, why is there such a big gap? Not to mention the old Taoist priest, even compared with the three veins of the Heavenly Corpse, they are far behind. For example, the Wei family, whose family power is definitely several times greater than the Dusheng vein, was still polite . Although they met each other in life and death later, it was also because of huge interests involved. Not to mention the old Taoist priest, they dared to kill even if the gods stood in front of them.
I don't know how far those rascals ran today to get all these dishes here. Brother Du said as he took the dishes: It's really thanks to them, otherwise it would be hard to find anything delicious here.
In that case, please eat with us, brother, the old woman said.
Hahaha, that's great, this is all thanks to Fanran. Senior Brother Du laughed, then glanced at me and said: If it weren't for Fanran, it would be polite to just eat some pickled radish!
What? Old thing! I cursed in my heart, are these people stupid? The feud between the old Taoist priest and Du Shengmai has nothing to do with me! You can't beat him, so you bully me. Do you have any moral integrity? If the old woman wasn't there, I, I... I would spit at you two to death!
Smelling the fragrance, Jiao Ye came out of my pocket, climbed onto my shoulder, shaking his head, and stared at the food on the table.
The predecessor of Jiao Ye was a red-spotted python of a different species, a strange beast that was about to transform into a dragon. Although he has now returned to his original state and exchanged hundreds of years of practice for the opportunity to rebuild, his innate spirituality is unforgettable at first sight.
Senior Brother Du was greatly surprised by the appearance of Master Jiao. Just as Master Jiao was staring at the food, he also stared at Master Jiao.
Perhaps it was because the gaze was too lustful, the shy Jiao looked at it, then spit out his tongue and went back into my pocket, leaving only half of his head exposed, glancing at the table from time to time.
The cute look of it shaking its head made me want to touch its little head.
This is... Senior Brother Du looked curious, but was too embarrassed to ask me.
With the mentality of "less trouble is worse than more trouble" and "more friends mean more paths", I replied: This is a little snake I picked up on the way. It looked cute, so I kept it.
The dragon raised his head to look at me, spit out his tongue, and suddenly leaned his head down. Then, I felt a tingling sensation on my little finger. This guy actually ran down and bit me.
Fortunately, its teeth are not very sharp and not poisonous, so its bite does not hurt much.
Oh... Senior Brother Du looked into my pocket, and there was a strange light in his eyes. I couldn't help but be alert. The old Taoist priest was not here, so this old guy would not want to steal my Jiao Ye.
