"Yeah, my dad unfroze the idle credit card, and I finally don't have to live a life of poverty anymore," Lin Hang threw me a reassuring look, "Don't worry, cousin, I'll stay at the Lin Family for a while to look after Tangtang, I won't let anyone ostracize or bully her."
"I'm at ease knowing Tangtang has you with her." I lowered my head, unwillingly pinched Tangtang's little cheek, and she leaned in to peck my nose tip, "Big sister, Tangtang is actually very heavy, right?"
"Not heavy at all, you're too thin, Tangtang. You need to eat more and put on some weight." I sternly admonished, "I'll check the next time I come to the Lin Family! If you haven't gained weight, watch how I'll punish you."
"But if I get fat, Brother Hang won't be able to carry me." Tangtang lowered her head and glanced at her Snake Tail hidden underneath the long dress.
No wonder the little girl felt inferior; from now on, it would be hard for her to walk on two legs again.
She wouldn't be able to run freely in public places and had to keep her Snake Tail hidden.
From now on, wherever she wanted to go, she had to be carried by Lin Hang…
I picked up her little hand and kissed the place where her finger was missing, "My precious Tangtang, your big sister will find a way for you to have legs again. Look at your Uncle Yong and Brother Longting, they've got legs, and you can have them too."
Because Xintang was half-human, half-snake, she had characteristics of a snake.
Those traits weren't hidden.
It was mainly because she had never cultivated.
She had no cultivation to sustain her human form.
If there wasn't a special solution, it would probably take her hundreds of years of cultivation before she could walk on two legs again.
"Big sister, why are you so nice to me? Don't you find me to be a terrifying Little Demon?" Tangtang buried her little face in my shoulder, her milky voice somewhat hoarse, "Everyone hates me, my mother abandoned me, my brother said I'm a disaster... do I really deserve the kindness from you and Brother Hang?"
The cloth on my shoulder got wet from her hot tears…
This little girl, ah, she had gone through a great change at such a young age and had already developed deep insecurities.
"Why don't you deserve it, Brother Hang is supposed to treat you well, to always treat you well," Lin Hang, moved by Tangtang's mention of himself, began to cry with a loud wail.
Xintang smiled at Lin Hang, "Brother Hang, don't cry, thank you for being there, thank you... and thank you, Sister Wan. Sister Wan, I'll tell you a secret~"
"What secret?" I asked, puzzled.
Tangtang leaned in, her cold little hand touching my face, and whispered into my ear, "Big sister, the little baby in your belly will grow up to be a hero who protects the world."
"What?"
I was still confused.
"Cousin, I'm taking Xintang with me, you guys go board the plane now." Before I could ask more, Lin Hang ran off carrying Xintang.
A sudden urge to snatch Tangtang away and take her home rose in my heart, and I chased after them, "Tangtang, just come with me, I'll take you on the run."
"Su Wan, who are you planning to run away with?"
A stern and steady voice sounded, belonging to an old man dressed in a Sun Yat-sen suit. Although not tall, the old man possessed an awe-inspiring authority, "And you, Lin Hang, who gave you the audacity to deceive the snake demon and plot an escape?"
"No no no, Grandfather, Second Master~ I'd never dare to defect, you must be mistaken, certainly mistaken," Lin Hang turned pale with fright, almost pee his pants on the spot.
Totally unexpected, I couldn't believe Lin Huan would follow us to the airport so quickly; my whole person became dazed, "Grand... grandfather..."
