CH 79

TL: Moonlit

[Host, the original host stole this snake demon’s Crimson Fruit before and ate it, which caused the demon to transform. So this big snake holds a strong grudge against the original host.]

Upon hearing Xiao Mihu’s words, Bai Yu felt a headache.

He helplessly looked at the snake demon in front of him, unable to move at all.

If he could move with his current body, he should be able to run really fast. Escaping from this snake wouldn’t be a problem…

But now, he couldn’t run at all!

As he thought about it, Bai Yu cursed that big idiot a hundred times in his mind!

They say there’s a hundred days of grace for a couple.

But that big idiot had already spent the night with him.

And now he not only wanted to kill him but also trapped him here. Otherwise, how could he have encountered this danger?

This person was simply heartless!

Ah ah ah ah ah ah!

Bai Yu was going crazy.

“Little Bai Yu,” the snake demon said as he hooked his hand under Bai Yu’s chin, lifting his head.

“What do you think I should do since you stole my Crimson Fruit?”

While speaking, the snake demon leaned closer to Bai Yu, sniffing him.

This small rabbit demon looked soft and adorable, and most importantly, there was a strong milky fragrance emanating from him.

It smelled so sweet, and the snake demon wondered how he would taste when eaten.

“Bai Yu, you ate my Crimson Fruit, didn’t you… Now, how can I retrieve the fruit?”

The snake demon’s face carried a smile as his long nails lightly scratched Bai Yu’s chin, drawing a drop of blood.

“Is it better if I eat you instead?”

The snake demon extended his tongue and licked his own nails. The taste of blood was indeed sweet and delicious.

“I’m not tasty; my flesh is very bitter…”

Bai Yu nervously looked at him, communicating with Xiao Mihu in his mind.

“Xiao Mihu, is there any item in the store that can save me from danger? Hurry!”

[There is… but, Host, items in the store can only be purchased once every three days. You bought something yesterday, so you can’t buy anything today.]

Bai Yu felt confused.

What kind of weird store was this?

Not only were they dishonest, but there were also purchase limits?

Weren’t they just trying to kill him?

He heard that when snakes devour animals, they swallow them whole and then digest them.

Bai Yu imagined himself being swallowed by this big snake, and his whole body trembled.

Well, if he had to die, it wouldn’t be a big deal.

It would just mean returning to the main space and accepting punishment.

But if he was swallowed alive by a big snake and digested to death in its belly…

That would be absolutely disgusting.

Just thinking about it made him want to vomit.

“Xiao Mihu, what exactly is this Crimson Fruit? Can it be extracted after eating it?”

[The Crimson Fruit is a fruit rich in spiritual energy. After eating it, it can increase one’s cultivation by 500 years. The original host, in fact, had not yet reached the stage of transformation. It was only after stealing and eating the Crimson Fruit from this snake demon that he transformed into a human.]

[Now, that fruit has merged with the elixir in your body. If you forcefully extract the elixir, the original host will revert to their original form. In severe cases, it may even affect their consciousness.]

Bai Yu felt hopeless. It seemed impossible to retrieve the fruit again…

Bai Yu racked his brain, and in the end, he said this.

“Um… I think I haven’t taken a bath in over ten days. I already smell bad. If you eat me, you’ll only taste a foul smell.”

Upon hearing Bai Yu’s words, the snake demon’s smile grew even wider.

He stuck out his tongue, wanting to lick Bai Yu’s face. This little rabbit smelled so good; there was no way he hadn’t bathed for over ten days.

Lying wasn’t his strong suit.

However, before his tongue could touch Bai Yu, Bai Yu moved away.

“Don’t touch me; I’m too smelly. I’m afraid I’ll stink you up.”

“Is that so?” The snake demon’s eyes looked up and down at the little rabbit demon in front of him.

This little rabbit was soft and cute, and if eaten in one bite, it would be a pity.

If he took him back as his wife, it wouldn’t be bad.

Although the Crimson Fruit was precious, if it was given to his wife to eat, it would be different.

Using his tail, the snake demon instantly wrapped up Bai Yu and then chanted a spell. Despite the pain, he tore off the talisman on Bai Yu’s head.

“Since you’re dirty, I’ll take you to the river for a wash.”

The snake demon was indulging in his imagination of that scene, feeling somewhat restless.

This little rabbit demon looked so beautiful even when wearing clothes. If he didn’t wear any clothes…

Wouldn’t he be too tempting?

While he was thinking, the snake demon led Bai Yu towards the river.

—

Yin Shao continued walking step by step on the road, feeling a constant unease.

He didn’t know why, but his mind was filled with images of Bai Yu.

Even though that was someone he wished to get rid of as soon as possible.

But now, not only did he not kill him, but his mind was filled with him.

He wondered what kind of enchantment that damn little demon had cast.

Even he had fallen for his tricks.

Otherwise, why would he still be constantly thinking about him?

Yin Shao forcefully shook his head, trying to drive that cursed little demon out of his mind.

But the more he tried, the more the images of them together from yesterday kept replaying in his mind.

The way that little rabbit spirit smiled…

The way he got angry…

And his blushing face as he deliberately seduced him…

Each and every one of them was so vivid.

Just then, Yin Shao suddenly heard voices of two little demons discussing in the grass.

“That little rabbit demon is in a miserable state. I don’t know who he offended, but he’s been immobilized by a restraining talisman. He’s probably going to be eaten by the snake demon.”

“I saw the snake demon take the little rabbit spirit to the river. They’ll probably eat him soon.”

“Do we want to go and see the commotion?”

“Are you stupid? What if the snake demon eats us too?”

Yin Shao’s footsteps, which had been moving forward, suddenly halted.

Normally, if he discovered these little demons, his first reaction would be to eliminate them all.

But now, all he could think about were the words they spoke…

Was that damn rabbit really going to be eaten?

He furrowed his brows tightly.

That would be great!

He himself couldn’t bring himself to do it, but now someone else was taking care of it for him.

Yin Shao lightly curved his lips, thinking that way in his mind.

But his fingers involuntarily clenched into a fist.

An indescribable sense of restlessness grew from the depths of his heart.

He still remembered how sweetly that little rabbit called him “husband” yesterday…

Yesterday, the two of them even slept together, just like a real couple.

But now, that rabbit is actually going to be eaten.

Letting these demons fight and kill each other.

For him, isn’t that the best outcome?

But why is he feeling so restless in his heart?

Restless to the point that even standing here, his heart is pounding desperately.

An absurd thought suddenly popped into his mind, and he couldn’t help but want to save Bai Yu.

After all, if it weren’t for his restraining talisman, that little rabbit wouldn’t have been immobilized. The snake demon wouldn’t have had a chance!

“Do you know? That rabbit stole the snake demon’s Crimson Fruit. So the snake demon wants to deal with him. I also want to see if I can get my hands on the fruit.”

“Forget it, that snake demon is powerful. Don’t end up empty-handed after attempting to steal the chicken.”

While the little demons continued talking, Yin Shao couldn’t bear to listen any longer.

He had a junior disciple who had been frail since childhood. The Crimson Fruit was the best medicine for him.

On this journey, besides hunting demons, he also had the goal of finding the Crimson Fruit.

But he never expected that the fruit would be in the hands of the little rabbit demon.

Without hesitation, Yin Shao immediately ran in the direction where Bai Yu had been just now.

There was only one river within a hundred miles.

Bai Yu must be there.

Although he had the intention to save someone.

In Yin Shao’s heart, he kept reassuring himself that he only wanted to obtain that Crimson Fruit.

When Yin Shao arrived, Bai Yu was being forced to undress by the snake demon.

“Why, don’t you want to take a bath? How can you wash without removing your clothes?”

Chi Xun held a rope tied around Bai Yu’s waist, leaving him no chance to escape.

“If you don’t take off your clothes, I’ll help you.”

Chi Xun’s eyes narrowed as he looked at Bai Yu, walking towards him as he spoke.

His venomous tongue had already been released, and he couldn’t wait to tear off Bai Yu’s clothes.

“Little rabbit, how about becoming my wife? If you agree, I’ll spare you. Otherwise, I’ll eat you!”

The snake demon’s words were full of both grace and power. At this moment, Bai Yu had no choice at all.

Listening to these words, Yin Shao’s heart contracted.

His heart was filled with overwhelming anger.

For some reason, he felt as if something of his own had been violated.

This damn snake demon not only wanted to strip Bai Yu, but also wanted to marry him!

Stop dreaming! He was practically seeking death!

Just as the snake demon’s venomous tongue was about to touch Bai Yu’s face, Yin Shao drew his sword and thrust it towards the snake demon!

Yin Shao had been lurking in the shadows, and this sudden strike caught Chi Xun completely off guard.

By the time he realized it, his clothes had already been slashed open, and the sword had pierced into his flesh.

With his eyes burning red, Chi Xun quickly transformed into a huge python due to the pain.

He swung his tail towards Yin Shao.

However, Yin Shao was, after all, a highly skilled demon hunter.

The sword in his hand was the bane of all demons and beasts.

As he wielded the sword, a crimson light emanated from it.

The light was like a ball of fire. Once it touched Chi Xun’s skin, it ignited.

Chi Xun was no match for Yin Shao. He could only coil up his tail and desperately flee.

Before leaving, he didn’t forget to leave a harsh threat.

“I’m telling you, don’t get too cocky. I’ll come back sooner or later to kill you!”

—

Yin Shao didn’t chase after him. Instead, he turned around and looked at Bai Yu.

At this moment, Bai Yu’s face had a hint of paleness, obviously also frightened.

“Are you alright…”

A deep voice came from Yin Shao’s mouth.

Bai Yu bit his lip and stared at him, not moving.

Originally, he had resented this big idiot to death.

But now, seeing him suddenly appear before him like a hero, driving away the big villain.

All the resentment in his heart had long disappeared. Even a hint of sweetness emerged…

“So, you knew to come and save me.”

As Bai Yu spoke, he walked over and embraced Yin Shao’s waist.

His movements were very natural, as if they had done it hundreds of times before.

Yin Shao had a moment of realization. He knew he should push away the person in front of him…

But he had an inexplicable attachment.

The corners of Bai Yu’s mouth slightly curved up as he playfully teased:

“Well, since you saved me, I’ll repay you. How about I become your wife?”

Yin Shao furrowed his brows tightly.

“Who wants you to be my wife? You shameless little demon, have you no shame?”

“I’m not ashamed.” Bai Yu said, then forcefully kissed Yin Shao. “I like you, so I want to be your wife.”

Hearing these words, Yin Shao’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.

He didn’t even know what was happening to himself.

Time and time again, he had been enchanted by this little rabbit.

When he heard the snake demon wanting to marry Bai Yu earlier, he was extremely restless, afraid that Bai Yu would agree.

So he didn’t even wait for Bai Yu’s response before rushing over with his sword.

Now, hearing Bai Yu say that he wants to marry him…

His heart started pounding uncontrollably.

“Thump, thump, thump.”

But after all, he was a demon hunter.

How could he possibly marry a demon?

The longsword stood between them.

Yin Shao pushed Bai Yu away, his voice filled with coldness.

“Don’t get ahead of yourself. I didn’t come to save you. Where is the Crimson Fruit? Hand it over.”
