When Sima You Yue heard the crying near her ear and felt the wetness on her face, she felt all her hair stood on end.
She did not know how the little snake crawled to her neck. All she felt was a coldness on her neck and by then, the little snake had around coiled around her neck.

Wuwuwu

The little snake started to cry louder and its tears kept falling down. Sima You Yue felt she had been too harsh.
Everyone was baffled by the scene because that thing could hurt someone or escape. They


never considered this sort of situation.
A while later, they saw that the little snake was crying continuously and did not have the intention to hurt Sima You Yue. Their hearts finally settled.

Why does You Yue look as if she had once abandoned it before?
Wei Zi Qi remarked.

You’re right. I feel that it looks at You Yue strangely. This is not the look one gives to strangers. It seems to be looking at its previous master with the eyes looking at the master again after being abandoned.

Everyone started to feel the same, and even Sima You Yue felt guilty from that gaze. It did seem as she had abandoned it.

Eh hey, little fellow, have you mistaken me for someone?
Sima You Yue felt that the golden little snake had no intention of hurting her. She rubbed the little snake’s head and appeased it.
Unexpectedly, the little snake cried even louder. It’s tail kept hitting her while its head rubbed on her face.

Wuwuwu—–wuwuwu—–

The sadness was irreconcilable. Sima You Yue’s heart was in turmoil as she quickly comforted,
Don’t cry, don’t cry. In the future, I won’t leave you alone.

She wasn’t softhearted but she sensed that this little fellow might go ballistic. Since it was around her neck, it could have strangled her if it applied strength.


The little snake listened as its large watery eyes stared into her, trying to discern the truth.

Really, really.
Sima You Yue promised.

Wuwuwu—–
The little snake confirmed her words and rubbed her face again.
Sima You Yue’s hairs were still standing. She was afraid she might be bitten to death if she didn’t pay attention.
She slowly went to remove that little fellow from her neck, but the little fellow coiled tightly on her neck. To be entangled with an immemorial beast, she lost all her security.

I can’t breathe, can you please get down?
She tried to communicate with the little fellow.
Though this little fellow could not speak human language, it could understand the language.

Wuwu
The little snake cried twice and stared at Sima You Yue. As if it understood her meaning, it loosened its grip around her neck but it did not leave and it looked like a golden collar. When it was satisfied, it closed its eyes.

That fellow is latched on to You Yue?
Fatty Qu laughed.
Sima You Yue could not cry or laugh. This was Third Mo’s thing. But it looked like it had latched onto her.



Third Mo…

Third Mo waved his hand and said,
Since it came to you, I’ll give it to you.


Third Mo, how is it alright?
Sima You Yue shook her head. To give away an immemorial beast was more than just tens of millions of crystals.

Hiss—-
The little fellow sensed Sima You Yue’s intention and opened its eyes, hissing at Third Mo. Its eyes were malevolent. If he dared to take itself, it would bite him to death.

Look.
Third Mo looked at the little snake as he raised his hands.
Presently, the problem was not whether he was willing or not but if the fellow was willing.

Didn’t you gave me something good? If you still feel embarrassed, brew me more fruit wine.
In order for Sima You Yue to accept it, he added,
You have so many spirit fruits. No wonder you have a variety of fruit wine.


Okay, I’ll let you have your fill.
Sima You Yue was grateful to Third Mo’s kindness.
This little thing appeared awfully fierce. Who could be aware of the consequences of provoking it? It was best to leave it alone.
It was unknown whether that fellow would leave after staying long.


After she pushed the thought aside, she allowed everyone to stroll a bit. Soon they all left. And then she inserted herself into the pill refining room.

Whoosh—–

The little snake moved and Sima You Yue could no longer feel the coldness. She raised her eyes and saw the little fellow had ran on top of the pill shelve. It coiled around a pill bottle, pushing its head into the bottle. Because the opening in the bottle was too small, it could not retract its head.

Pfff

Sima You Yue laughed out loud. The restraint toward it suddenly fell through.
She strolled over and broke the jade bottle on the ground, freeing it.

Look at yourself. If you like to eat pills, I will let you. Next time, don’t do anything embarrassing, or I won’t be able to help you.
She poked at the little fellow’s head.

Wuwu.
The little fellow wagged its tail, protesting.
Sima You Yue ignored it and went back to arranging the herbs on the table. She instructed,
You can eat any of the pills here. But don’t waste them …

She did not hear affirmation, so she turned to see the little fellow swallowed a whole bottle of pills. Under Sima You Yue gaze, it stopped and innocently stared at her.



Thankfully, I am an alchemist. Moreover, fortunately the Spirit Pagoda has enough herbs. Or else how will be enough for you to eat!
Sima You Yue shook her head.
Little fellow, you’re so small. I will call you Little Fellow from now on.


Hiss hiss
Little Fellow glared.
I don’t want Little Fellow; Little Fellow is nowhere domineering!
Sima You Yue chuckled,
Objection overruled. I am an alchemist. If you continued to interrupt me, I won’t allow you to enter this room again.


Hiss hiss—-
Little Fellow nodded its head, agreeing.
Sima You Yue broke into laughter. This Little Fellow gave people a dangerous feeling. Even Wu Lingyu said this little thing let him feel apprehension. It meant that its strength must be really strong. It carried the coldness of a snake, which repelled people at a distance.
But that Little Fellow only latched onto her. She recalled how it has sobbed in front of her. She rubbed her face. Did she look very similar to its previous master?
However, its master had died, and it hadn’t died. That meant it previously did not have a contractual relationship.
Since it was so, when it saw her, why did it cry so sadly?
