Chapter 787: Chapter 5 Relentless Pursuit (Request for Monthly Tickets)_2
Many people wanted to join, but the prerequisite was to possess a considerable "snake affinity."
This led to the frequent hunting of nearby snake creatures.
From then on, Xiao Guang’s entire family, once free snake creatures, became subservient to humans, toiling like oxen and horses.
Initially, life was tolerable, and Xiao Guang’s master was not bad to them.
However, unforeseen incidents arose; during a mission, the girl’s parents were killed, and the girl, left without support, was captured by rivals and sold into the black market.
This time, they encountered the middle-aged man from before.
This man was a high-degree pervert; after buying the girl, not only did he defile her, but he also forced her to solicit customers to make money. The girl, with a strong temperament, could not bear the humiliation and soon committed suicide.
Moreover, this man had defiled Xiao Guang’s mother and insulted all her sisters in front of their mother. He even wanted to harvest their crystals, cut open their bellies to take their hearts, and drink alcohol. Simply a beast among beasts.
Xiao Guang fought desperately to escape from there, but in this vast wasteland, where were there safe havens for a small snake creature like her?
So, she was captured again in a most humiliating manner.
This time, the person who captured her was again from Xinglong Manor, but he was no ordinary person; he was the Second Master of Xinglong Manor, Yan Xiong!
He immediately recognized that Xiao Guang was a snake creature with quite good potential, so he took her in, refined her into a Snake Servant, and confined her.
Being able to consume a person each day, Xiao Guang’s strength improved rapidly, and her cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds. Within a couple of years, she had the opportunity to strive for the Second Rank.
This time, while out on a mission, she happened to meet her old enemy. The hatred for the killing of her mother was irreconcilable, so she deliberately consumed a female employee from the Jin Baoshan office, took her place, enticed her enemy, and ultimately caused his death at her hands!
—Frankly speaking, after listening to this story, Xu Shu found it difficult to pass judgment.
Whether the man who raped the snake creature was a pervert or not was not worth mentioning. He felt that everyone has different tastes, and there’s nothing much to say.
The people of Jin Baoshan were domineering and often forced good people into prostitution; naturally, they deserved to die;
But was Xinglong Manor, which raised snakes for human consumption, up to any good? The Snake Woman even said that everyone there was very kind, which is nonsense... but thinking about it, it also makes sense. A place that makes a snake creature feel kind can’t be that kind to ordinary people.
These two gangs are biting each other, making Xu Shu instantly feel that the wasteland of Penglai District... might not be as peaceful as it appears on the surface.
But then, many troublesome matters in the world can actually be solved with a single phrase.
For instance, "none of your business."
Or, "none of my business."
So, after serious consideration, Xu Shu decided not to pursue the matter of someone inexplicably dragging him into a dream using "hypnotism."
Although the other party tried to frame him, considering that both of his Snake Servants had died by his hand, Xu Shu thought he’d let it count as interest paid.
And he truly thought there was something wrong with Yan Xiong’s mind.
Since you came today to challenge me, making it clear that you want to kidnap Red Rose to gain an advantage in the upcoming negotiations with Jin Baoshan and secure a larger share of the Cloud Platform Mine...
Wouldn’t it be more useful to leave your name honestly?
Trying to set me up, frame me, what’s the meaning of this?
It can’t be said to be completely illogical...
It’s simply crazy!
At this point, Xu Shu had no desire to delve deeper.
In any case, he had come to understand that no matter where, the wasteland was not too pleasant and was fraught with many problems.
The safe zone was more reliable!
But then again, is this safe zone really that reliable?
With a smile, Xu Shu patted the small white snake coiled around his waist, and he already had a plan in mind to test it.
Just as he was thinking this, a call for help suddenly rang in his ears: "Save me... Save me... My lord save me..."
The voice was very close, almost as though it was coming from his skin.
Xu Shu was startled and quickly lifted his clothes to see, only to discover that the small white Xiao Guang, used as a belt around his waist, was being swallowed by the ethereal mouth opened by Narrow Sleeve Guanyin, struggling and crying for help.
"Stop it right now!" Xu Shu hurriedly pressed down on the small jade Buddha, pulled apart her lips, and rescued the white snake.
Suddenly a whining cry came from within the small jade Buddha:
"That treacherous man, getting a new love and forgetting the old one, not even willing to share a small snake with us, truly heartless, making one feel miserable wuwuwu ah~"
This melodramatic tone was clearly Hei Shan Goddess Gu Lanshan’s doing.
Once she led the charge, the others, Ji Yu, Xiao Ai, also began to act pitiful, and Corpse Dog barked nonstop.
Lady Qiansui mockingly scorned, "A bunch of vulgar fools."
Here they were still in the wasteland, and they dared to make such noise.
If it were inside the safe zone, only Ji Yu would dare to speak up.
Xu Shu, annoyed by the noise, said indifferently, "Stop it, am I that kind of person? I have my uses for this white snake."
Immediately upon his word, the small jade Buddha quieted down.
It was unclear whether the Yin Gods and Yang Gods really listened or if they were "silenced" by Narrow Sleeve Guanyin.
After returning to the hotel, Xu Shu saw his anxious adoptive parents waiting for him.
"Bro, why were you gone so long? Did they make it hard for you?"
Shiyu hugged fat Da Ju, and Father Zhou and Mrs. Zhou also asked with concern on their faces.
"What a joke! Given my identity and status, they can’t wait to ingratiate themselves with me. Enough chit-chat, let’s first settle in the safe zone, thenỳe.
