20: Chapter 20 You finish your performance and I take the stage

Next, Little Green Snake watched in a daze as the male human named An Chen tied up the female human named An Hui and carried her into a room.

Snakes naturally possess a highly developed sense of smell, not to mention it was an enlightened snake demon.

“Hiss, hiss!”

Humans are so strange. Little Green Snake didn't understand what "replenishment" meant, only guessing it was somewhat similar to the mating of snakes during their estrus period.

During estrus, male snakes emit strong pheromones, causing female snakes to become restless, and it should be similar for humans.

Little Green Snake sniffed the somewhat pungent scent on the male human.

“Hiss, hiss!”

The human's pheromone scent is really unpleasant.

A moment later, strange sounds came from inside the room.

The sounds were not loud, occasionally accompanied by the thud of things falling, indicating the poor female was fiercely resisting.

Little Green Snake… “Hiss, hiss!”

Although the enlightened Little Green Snake found forcing a female to be distasteful, it could accept it. Mating among snakes was also like this; sometimes, they even ate their partners.

However, these were all things it had secretly overheard; it didn't really understand the specifics.

A suspicious blush appeared on Little Green Snake’s face.

It really wanted to avoid hearing these things, but it was also afraid of missing important information, so it could only lie on the roof beam, irritably looking up at the moon.

Unfortunately, even when the moon was high in the sky and the commotion in the room ceased, Little Green Snake didn't hear any useful information.

That was fine, but after only a brief moment of silence, the commotion in the room started again.

Little Green Snake could only continue to gaze at the moon.

“Hiss, hiss!”

Tonight’s crescent moon is so round!

Little Green Snake was having such a hard time! It was still a baby snake.

*

It wasn't until the moon set in the west that the room finally became completely quiet.

Little Green Snake let out a sigh of relief.

These two humans were finally done. Then, Little Green Snake felt something was off.

“Hiss, hiss!”

Why was there only one human's aura? The other human's aura was gone.

“Hiss, hiss!”

Do humans also eat their partners during mating? This is not something a good partner would do.

Little Green Snake stared curiously at the doorway.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, the door finally opened from the inside.

An Chen walked out of the room with a look of satiation, holding An Hui's cold corpse in his arms, as if carefully cradling a precious lover.

"Ah Hui, you and I worked together, after all. If this delicate body of yours, with its primordial yin, were to be taken advantage of by others in the future, that would truly be a great pity. It's better that I benefit from it."

An Chen muttered to himself, gently stroking An Hui's lifeless face, a triumphant smile playing on his lips.

"Hehehe, thanks to you, my little darling. With the aid of your primordial yin Qi, I was able to successfully Breakthrough to the third Realm. You didn't waste your excellent Aptitude this time."

After saying these words, An Chen threw his head back and laughed wildly:

"Hahahahaha..."

After laughing, An Chen cautiously surveyed his surroundings.

After confirming it was safe, he directly tossed the body in his arms into the courtyard, then strode out, disappearing from Da Li Village in a few leaps.

Only a cold corpse and a stunned Little Green Snake were left behind.

Little Green Snake trembled as it lay on the roof beam, desperately suppressing its aura, not daring to let out even a trace.

Fortunately, it had a special talent for concealing its aura; otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to escape the pursuit of the Rat demon couple.

“Hiss, hiss…”

Little Green Snake's tail gently tapped the roof beam, appearing somewhat restless.

Although it didn't understand human emotions, it could sense that An Hui's death was not natural.

An Chen's words made it vaguely understand something—that male human seemed to have taken An Hui's Life Qi through some means to enhance his own cultivation.

“Hiss, hiss…”

A complex emotion flashed in Little Green Snake's eyes. Although it was a snake demon, after gaining sentience, it gradually understood the distinction between good and evil.

An Chen's behavior filled it with an instinctive revulsion.

Little Green Snake was about to climb down from the roof beam to observe the human female up close.

Suddenly, a faint sound of footsteps came from a distance. Little Green Snake immediately tensed up, retracting its body and re-hiding in the shadows of the roof beam.

Two tall, slender figures appeared at the courtyard gate. In the moonlight, their outlines were exceptionally clear.

He wore a grey-black robe, with a black cloth covering his face, revealing only a pair of sharp eyes.

Most importantly, he had two wolf ears on his head.

The two moved with light steps, as if treading on cotton, making no sound.

Little Green Snake's pupils contracted slightly, and an alarm bell rang in its heart.

A wolf demon capable of shapeshifting!

It was the first time it had seen a shapeshifting demon in its entire life.

Snake Ancestor!

This was too much for a snake!

Little Green Snake completely suppressed its aura, coiling into a ball, pressing its head tightly under its body.

“You can't see me, you can't see me, you can't see me…”

Little Green Snake played dead while muttering to itself mentally.

Now, it couldn't even bother to gather information, wishing it could cover its ears.

Unfortunately, snakes don't have external ears, so Little Green Snake still heard the commotion below clearly.

*

A black wolf demon stood at the courtyard gate, his gaze sweeping over the courtyard, finally resting on An Hui's corpse.

His nose twitched slightly, and a moment later, a cold sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

“Indeed…”

The black wolf demon, Lang Ying, said in a low voice, “Cunning humans are as ruthless as ever, not even sparing their own kind.”

He slowly walked to An Hui's corpse, knelt down, reached out, and gently probed her neck, then shook his head.

“Her primordial yin Qi has been drained, and even her soul has been scattered… Tsk tsk, what a pity for such a good vessel.”

Lang Ying's tone carried a hint of regret, but his expression was utterly cold.

Little Green Snake listened from the roof beam, its heart pounding in fear.

Although it didn't understand the exact meaning of "primordial yin Qi" and "soul," from the wolf demon's words, these two things must be extremely important.

Note it down, note it down.

Just then, the voice of another wolf demon slowly rang out.

“Big Brother, in my humble opinion, why bother with these human squabbles? Their infighting, for us, isn't this a good opportunity to reap the benefits?”

“Just a casual thought, let’s go. The King sent us to investigate the reason for the Naked Ghost's disappearance. The King’s matters are more important.”

Lang Ying stood up, his gaze sweeping around.

“Yes, the King is about to successfully advance. If there's an existence nearby that can easily kill the Naked Ghost, the King will be in danger.”

After speaking, the two wolf demons flashed and disappeared into the night, leaving behind the stiff, terrified Little Green Snake.

Little Green Snake stayed on the roof beam for a whole day, only slowly crawling down after confirming there was no danger around.
