Chapter 945 - 718: Little Snake Transforms (Part 3)
Lu Xiao clenched his fists tightly, and said angrily, "If you dare to touch her, even if I die, I will never let you go."
Wu Wei snorted coldly, "Well, then wait for a month later, let’s see if you can still keep that tough mouth."
As time passes, his addiction to "Return Nest" will grow stronger, just wait another month, and he will be completely helpless and beyond redemption.
He will never be able to free himself from "Return Nest", no matter how strong-willed he is, he is destined to become a puppet under her command.
And yet he wants to threaten her for a female? Wants to kill her? How ridiculous!
In another month’s time, he will be tortured to the point of losing all reason, even kneeling at her feet begging for mercy.
"I await the day you obediently beg me for forgiveness." She smiled triumphantly, "That scene will surely be beautiful."
After saying this, Wu Wei turned and left.
Bang.
The door shut.
The secret room plunged into darkness once again.
Lu Xiao’s chest heaved violently, his hand that supported the wall clenched into a fist, leaving deep marks.
At the moment he was about to lose control of his rationality, he struck his chest with his palm, spat out a mouthful of blood, and then fainted.
...
On the other side, Shen Tang had already left the main venue of Sky City and was heading further away.
Suddenly, her heart skipped a beat, she stopped walking, turned her head back to look in the direction she came from.
But over there was already a vast expanse of sky, completely obscuring the buildings of Sky City from view.
Yet she felt her heart pounding fiercely, as if something bad had happened, it was even hard for her to breathe, and she couldn’t help but want to turn back halfway.
But remembering Lu Xiao’s instructions before leaving, Shen Tang was momentarily at a loss.
She could tell Lu Xiao was definitely hiding many things from her.
Although the second-in-command was dead, there was still a Big Boss above.
Shen Tang had never met the Big Boss, but she had heard many rumors, the Big Boss was a ruthless character.
After this incident was discovered, things would definitely not go smoothly for Lu Xiao.
But if she went back now, it seemed she couldn’t help much, and might even disrupt his plans.
Shen Tang was momentarily unsure of what to do.
Meanwhile, the Little Snake in the Space suddenly didn’t seem well, writhing on the ground as if in discomfort.
Shen Tang quickly took the Little Snake out of the Space, "What’s wrong?"
"Sister, I feel so uncomfortable...my body feels itchy..." The Little Snake lay weakly in her arms, whimpering softly.
Looking closely, she noticed a thin transparent membrane seemed to appear before its eyes. Shen Tang immediately realized it must be about to shed its skin.
The Little Snake was growing quickly, it had actually shed its skin several times before, but its reaction this time was much more severe, it looked genuinely uncomfortable.
The System said, [Great news, Host, I think Xue Yinzhou is about to transform! Once it sheds this skin, it should be able to transform!]
[After it successfully transforms, it signifies the next phase in its growth, it should recover more memories, and its mind will become more mature, soon returning to the appearance of maturity.]
Shen Tang breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a joyful happiness in her heart.
So she scanned the surroundings with spiritual power, found a quiet and secluded cave, cleaned it up, and let the Little Snake shed its skin and transform there.
This time shedding was notably more difficult than the previous ones.
The Little Snake was sluggish, writhing on the ground, feeling headaches, as if many fragmented memories were resurfacing.
These memories felt extremely familiar, and some seemed to be about my sister.
So it tried hard to remember more...
Shen Tang naturally had no idea about the Little Snake’s inner thoughts at this moment.
To her, the biggest change in the Little Snake was its body.
She watched as the Little Snake’s body rapidly transformed, its humanoid form gradually appearing.
After a half-night had passed, its humanoid form finally stabilized, appearing as a child around four or five years old.
He had silver-white moderately long hair, almost shoulder length, his cheeks looked plump and round, his features were exceptionally delicate and beautiful, with long curly eyelashes. Particularly striking were his pair of amethyst-colored eyes, still round and looking exceptionally pretty.
Shen Tang couldn’t help but have her eyes light up: Wow, how adorable!
The Little Snake was also very excited upon seeing its newly transformed body.
He wanted to share his happiness with Shen Tang but suddenly remembered something, and his little face flushed red.
Then swoosh, he hid behind a large rock nearby, saying shyly, "Sister don’t come over, turn around..."
Shen Tang, having grown accustomed to the Little Snake’s dependence and closeness during this time, was slightly taken aback by his sudden reaction.
Only to hear the System giggling, [Oh my～Host, your Little Snake knows how to be shy now!]
[It seems some of his memories have recovered, his mind has grown up, and he knows how to be shy! Host, you shouldn’t be idle, get him some clothes so he doesn’t come out naked!]
Shen Tang then realized, oh, he’s shy.
But she didn’t have clothes suitable for a little boy.
There were some everyday clothes in the Space belonging to her and the Beast Husband, but the Beast Husband’s clothes were too large and wouldn’t fit the Little Snake.
So Shen Tang picked out a white shirt of her own, placed it in front of the rock.
A silver-white little tail poked out from behind the rock, quickly snatched the shirt, and disappeared again.
Shen Tang couldn’t help but chuckle.
Soon after, sounds of rustling came from behind the rock.
After a little while, the Little Snake emerged, pausing and fidgeting.
Xue Yinzhou, who was originally cold and beautiful, was all the more so in his childhood appearance.
His silver-white hair was slightly long, almost reaching his shoulders, and his features were more exquisite and adorable, his skin snow white, cheeks still possessing a babyish chubbiness.
At the moment he was wearing her white shirt, reaching just above the knees, resembling a dress, looking like a little girl.
Shen Tang leaned down, couldn’t help but pinch his little cheeks, speaking tenderly, "Does this shirt fit?"
Little Yin Zhou’s cheeks grew even redder, he lowered his head unable to meet her gaze, nodded bashfully, "It’s wearable... Thank you, Tangtang."
He seemed to instinctively want to call her sister but swallowed the words half-way, instead calling her Tangtang.
His voice was still soft and sweet, but it carried a hint of coldness, losing some of its childlike innocence compared to before.
Shen Tang raised her eyebrows in surprise, couldn’t resist pinching his cheeks again, and said with a smile, "Hmm? No more calling me sister?"
His face flushed even more.
After transforming this time, his mind was filled with many memories, although not fully recovered, his basic awareness was intact, he knew he couldn’t call her sister anymore.
No matter how Shen Tang coaxed him later on, he stubbornly refused to call her sister, always calling her Tangtang.
Shen Tang sighed inwardly with a bit of regret, realizing her days of being called sister were gone forever!
Then they ate a little and continued their journey.
Although Xue Yinzhou only recovered to a juvenile state, he obviously looked more mature than before.
Furthermore, ever since he transformed into human form, he was too embarrassed to revert to his original form and coil around her anymore.
Outside, he would walk ahead of Shen Tang, as if leading the way, so that he could protect her at the first sign of danger.
