Chapter 5 Molting

Under the pressure of the three, Su Ling had to swear an oath, stating that she truly did not know where the snake was, and that if she sheltered the snake again, she would turn into a snake herself.

Seeing that Su Ling dared to make such a vicious vow, the three believed her to some extent for the moment and did not continue to insist on driving her out.

Mainly, they could not actually drive Su Ling out; otherwise, if Su Ling reported them to the school, the school would punish them.

Su Ling carried her quilt back to the bed, and Jiang Feng, who was on the bed, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

His Camouflage was about to fail, but fortunately, Su Ling rescued him in time.

At this moment, because he had been crawling around earlier and had just persisted in using Camouflage for such a long time, Jiang Feng felt a wave of exhaustion throughout his snake body.

He knew this was due to the excessive consumption of physical strength and spirit, compounded by a bit of hunger.

By the way, what does he eat when he is hungry?

"System, is there any food available for exchange?"

"Ding, the host can exchange for Physique attributes to reduce hunger."

Physique attributes?

Jiang Feng checked his fear points; he still had 80 points.

"Exchange 4 points of Physique for me."

[Exchange successful, current Physique has reached 5.]

The moment the exchange was complete, Jiang Feng suddenly felt an itch all over his snake body, along with a sense of expansion.

Was he about to molt?

Just as he was thinking this, his snake skin suddenly split open, and a sharp pain washed over him.

Damn, molting is actually this painful.

Jiang Feng hurriedly burrowed into Su Ling's quilt, using the quilt to rub against his snake body, grinding his old skin off bit by bit.

Being his first time molting, Jiang Feng was very inexperienced and struggled for a full two hours before finishing the process.

Fortunately, the others in the dormitory were already gone at this time; otherwise, they would definitely have noticed Su Ling's quilt moving incessantly.

After molting, Jiang Feng discovered that his snake body had grown a size larger, and his length had reached half a meter.

Looking at his robust body, Jiang Feng nodded his snake head in satisfaction.

Now he finally looked a bit like a snake; before, he had been as small and thin as a chopstick.

"Now, my physical strength is sufficient to strangle a ten-year-old child."

If caught off guard, he could even strangle an adult woman like Chen Qian.

However, he could not kill anyone yet; if he killed someone, even Su Ling would not be able to protect him, and he would simply become a snake shot to death by the police.

After his Physique reached five points, Jiang Feng indeed felt no more hunger.

If it goes on like this, if I keep adding to my Physique, will I never be hungry again?

But now his fear points were at zero again; he needed to farm more fear points.

His snake body had grown larger now, and it seemed his movements were less convenient; burrowing into girls' underwear to scare them was no longer suitable. It seemed he had to force the issue.

Surely, seeing this thick and large snake of mine, those girls should be even more afraid!

Jiang Feng could not help but let out an evil snake laugh, "Heh heh heh."

Taking advantage of the empty dormitory, he hurriedly hid the snake skin under Chen Qian's bed sheet and then hid himself inside Chen Qian's quilt.

He wanted to give that woman a surprise later on.

In the evening, when Su Ling and the others returned from evening self-study, it was already past nine o'clock.

However, only three people returned—Su Ling, Jiang Wan, and Yang Ping; Chen Qian did not return.

After the three returned, they each went about their business, playing on computers or scrolling through phones.

"Sigh! A bunch of unmotivated folks."

Jiang Feng sighed in the quilt; his snake head quietly peeked out, and no one noticed.

Over an hour later, Chen Qian still had not returned.

Su Ling also climbed onto her bed and was scrolling through a short drama—《My Husband Is Actually a White Snake》.

Because Chen Qian's and Su Ling's beds were next to each other, the bored Jiang Feng also hid in the back, watching with great interest.

Unexpectedly, Su Ling had such unique tastes; no wonder she was not afraid of snakes.

"Why isn't Chen Qian back yet?" Jiang Wan complained as she checked the time.

"She is probably too reluctant to return because she is with her boyfriend!" Yang Ping retorted sarcastically.

What? That bitch actually has a boyfriend?

Jiang Feng was shocked; women with boyfriends were not to be trifled with. Men usually were not afraid of snakes. If Chen Qian told her boyfriend that a snake was bullying her, would her boyfriend not be furious and rush to defend his lady love!

He could not beat an adult man right now. No, he had to quickly gain fear points to improve himself.

Before long, Jiang Wan and Yang Ping had also finished washing up and climbed onto their beds; the whole dormitory was filled with a fragrant scent.

Close to eleven o'clock, Chen Qian came back right on time.

"You finally decided to come back; if you had not returned, the lights would have been turned off."

"Yeah, here is milk tea for you guys, my boyfriend treated you." Chen Qian took two cups of milk tea and handed one to Yang Ping and one to Jiang Wan.

Afterward, she glanced at Su Ling and said with feigned embarrassment: "Sorry! Su Ling, the milk tea shop only had two cups left, so I did not buy one for you. You won't mind, right?"

Su Ling snorted coldly, not bothering to respond to Chen Qian.

Chen Qian had brought embarrassment upon herself.

Damn, this woman is really calculating.

Jiang Feng could not even stand to watch; there were only four people in the dormitory, and not only did three of them exclude Su Ling, but they also deliberately pretended that they were not excluding her on purpose.

After the lights go out later, he must play properly with these four women.

That's right, Jiang Feng did not intend to let Su Ling off either; those in the same dormitory had to be treated equally. If he only scared the others, how would that be any different from the cliques and differential treatment of Chen Qian and the other two?

Soon, after eleven o'clock, the lights were turned off on time. The school only kept the lights on during weekends, and today was clearly not a weekend, but a Wednesday.

Chen Qian used her phone's flashlight to climb onto her bed; she was only wearing underwear.

After getting into bed, she immediately opened WeChat on her phone and started chatting with her boyfriend.

Chen Qian was focused and did not notice at all that a snake had quietly crawled out of her quilt.

Jiang Feng crawled directly to the head of Chen Qian's bed, but Chen Qian still did not notice.

This made Jiang Feng feel a lack of accomplishment; there was no horror atmosphere at all.

So Jiang Feng simply raised his snake head and appeared on Chen Qian's phone screen.

Chen Qian, who was in the middle of chatting, suddenly saw a snake head appear in her line of sight. At first, she thought her eyes were playing tricks on her, but soon the snake head actually flicked its tongue at her, as if greeting her.

"Ahhh!"

Chen Qian was so terrified that she almost dropped her phone.

[fear points + 30]

"What's wrong?" The other three were startled by Chen Qian's scream.

"Snake, there's a snake," Chen Qian said with a crying tone.

The scene of that snake head flicking its tongue at her just now was still lingering in her mind; there really was a snake, her senses could not be wrong.

Chen Qian hurriedly pulled the quilt over to wrap herself tightly, but Jiang Feng had already crawled in along the gap.

Chen Qian was only wearing underwear; the rest of her body was exposed. After Jiang Feng burrowed in, he slithered directly over her body.

Snakes are cold-blooded animals; their temperature changes with the environment and is not warm like a human body.

So, when Jiang Feng crawled on Chen Qian, the sensation of flesh directly touching a snake shot straight to the top of her head.

Her whole body trembled, and she suddenly threw off the quilt.

"Ah!"

A high-decibel sound, far exceeding the previous one by several levels, came from her mouth.
