Chapter 305: Chapter 304 Who Dares to Touch My People (8) Chapter 305: Chapter 304 Who Dares to Touch My People (8) The space was bizarre, and the Little Snake King, trapped within without its mana, naturally couldnât find any information about Shen Han. With no other options, Su Shu decided to release the Little Snake King from the space.
This time, she was truly going to let it out.
Upon hearing that Su Shu was planning to set it free, the Little Snake King stayed stunned for quite a long while before snapping out of it.
Holy shit, could it really go out for a breath of fresh air?
With excitement filling its heart, the Little Snake King couldnât help but crawl with its most dashing âstride,â looking quite the charmer as it made its way to the courtyard gate.
Whenever Su Shu entered the space, she would often appear at that spot.
âAfter you go out, you better behave yourself, or donât blame me for being rude,â she warned.
âI got it, I got it, nag. Hurry up! Let me out!â
Even though the space was rich with spiritual energy and it felt quite comfortable there, the space was only so bigâbarely enough for it to stretch out. It had once been a Snake King that owned a âkingdomâ!
Now, the dragon lies stranded in shallow waters, played by shrimps; the tiger falls to the plains, bullied by dogs.
It had to bear the calm before the storm momentarily and take a step back to see the boundless sea and sky.
But after all, it sometimes still yearned for the fresh air outside and the vast world beyondâŠ
It wondered what the outside had become by now.
With that thought, it urged Su Shu even more.
Su Shu looked at the snake-shaped totem that had appeared on her wrist after forming the binding contract with the Little Snake King and steadied her heartâwhether or not it was dangerous to release it, she had to try.
And so, Su Shu focused her mind in silence and led the Little Snake King out of the space.
The moment the Little Snake King left the space, just as it was about to let out an excited shout, it was greeted with a pair of pitch-black, glistening eyes.
UhâŠ
Su Shu was also startled!
Instinctively glancing at her watch, she had only been inside for five minutesâhow could Xiaoâai have woken up?
âXiaoâai?â
Xiaoâai was squatting on the ground, hugging her knees. Hearing her aunt call her, she didnât move her gaze away from the immobile Little Snake King.
Blinking her large eyes, she fixed her gaze intently on the motionless Little Snake King, a puzzled expression on her face.
The Little Snake King didnât know if it was frozen in place because of the surprise in front of it or for some other reason, but it stayed rigid, standing thereâŠ
Even when Xiaoâai reached out and touched its head, it stayed in a motionless pose with deep dedicationâŠ
Before Su Shu could ask another question, Xiaoâai picked up the âstiffâ Little Snake King and carefully placed it next to Mr. Dinosaur on the bed. After positioning it, she stepped back, tilted her head, and scrutinized it from different angles.
âXiaoâai, itâs notâŠâ a toy!
The words disappeared into Xiaoâaiâs smile as she turned her head back.
She had never seen the child smile so heartwarmingly. Was she so happy to have a new âtoyâ?
Xiaoâai pounced over, burrowing into her embrace, conveying her joy. Inexplicably, Su Shu felt like she could suddenly understand her thoughts.
Did the little girl think she had disappeared and reappeared just to fetch her a new toy?
Uh?
ThisâŠ
Holding Xiaoâai in her arms, Su Shu saw the Little Snake King by Mr. Dinosaurâs side, regaining its composure and flicking its tongue, showing curiosity and dissatisfaction.
Su Shu silently mouthed a message to it: Just endure it.
The Little Snake King unhappily raised its tail tip, waving it about.
Su Shu mimed a throat-slitting gesture, and the boastful tail tip disappeared with a whooshâsuccessfully returning to the immobile âtoyâ the instant Xiaoâai turned her face away.
Watching Xiaoâai gently stroke the cool snakeâs body with a joyful expression, Su Shu couldnât help but cover her face, overwhelmed.
What in the world was happeningâŠ
Su Shu bent down and picked up Xiaoâai, not wanting her to catch a chill from the cold ground, and placed her back on the bed. She then lifted the covers and lay down too.
