The group's favorite junior sister returns to save the whole family of resentful villains

“Hiss, hiss…”

Ji Qiuyu heard the sound of a snake spitting out its tongue above his head, and at the same time, his waist and abdomen tightened.

A huge snake body, as if it could swallow him, was winding around him.

Ji Qiuyu was not afraid at all, because he was very familiar with the sound of the snake. He subconsciously hugged the thick snake body wrapped around his waist and said, "Xiao Gu?"

Hearing his call, the snake's head, which had been raised high, lowered.

The snake's head, which was bigger than his entire body, gently touched the boy's tender cheek.

The cool touch made Ji Qiuyu feel comfortable, and he subconsciously rubbed Xiao Gu's head.

Ji Qiuyu was in a trance. On the one hand, he felt that this was an illusion that occurred when he was on the verge of death, and on the other hand, he felt that he had really returned to his childhood.

Living in a snake cave with thousands of snakes, never seeing the light of day, and living with snakes as companions.

Although the days in the outside world taken by the Plush Taoist were also very interesting, Ji Qiuyu always remembered that his days in the Snake Cave were equally peaceful and beautiful.

Ji Qiuyu leaned against Xiaogu's cold body, closed his eyes comfortably, and fell asleep unknowingly.

"boom!"

After an unknown amount of time, Ji Qiuyu was awakened by a loud noise.

He opened his eyes, and everything around him was still pitch black, with only the pupils of thousands of snakes glowing faintly.

Ji Qiuyu subconsciously tried to touch Xiao Gu, but his hand found nothing and could only touch other small snakes that were running by because of fright.

The giant snake that usually liked to wrap itself around him was nowhere to be seen.

"boom!"

Ji Qiuyu heard the loud noise again.

He ran in that direction in the dark, and thousands of snakes made way for him.

During the years of living in the snake cave, Ji Qiuyu had already learned to move forward in the darkness without any stumbling.

Little did the Emperor of the New Dynasty know, the Snake Cave actually had countless tunnels extending outwards, which were intricately connected and spread throughout the entire palace.

Some tunnels can only accommodate small snakes, but some tunnels were opened by Xiao Gu, so a child like Ji Qiuyu can move freely in them.

Ji Qiuyu ran into a tunnel that Xiao Gu had dug before. After turning a few corners, he saw a giant snake twisting on the ground in the darkness. It seemed to be experiencing some pain and making a hissing sound.

The giant snake hit the ground with its head, banging it against the sharp rocks, and its head was smashed. Blood dripped onto the rocks, making a "sizzling" corrosion sound.

"Xiao Gu!"

Ji Qiuyu rushed over and grabbed Xiaogu's huge tail, trying to stop it from self-harming, stammering, "No, don't do this..."

When he was young, he lived with snakes and had no contact with humans. He was not very familiar with the human language and spoke haltingly.

He was able to learn to speak because Xiao Gu carried him on his back, put his face above the tunnel, and listened to the movements on the ground.

From those vague sounds and fragments of words, I discerned the language of other ethnic groups and learned it vaguely.

Ji Qiuyu opened his arms, but he couldn't hug Xiao Gu's tail. He could only lie on the snake's tail with his small body, shouting loudly: "Xiao Gu, Xiao...ah!"

Xiao Gu, who was immersed in pain, seemed unable to hear his voice. He twisted his body and whipped Ji Qiuyu against the wall with his tail.

"Crack!"

Ji Qiuyu heard the sound of his bones breaking.

There was a piercing pain in my right leg and left hand.

He fell back to the ground, and in his blurred vision he could still see the snake twisting in the darkness.

The pungent smell of blood in the air became stronger and stronger.

In the pitch-black vision, Ji Qiuyu suddenly saw...

A ray of light?

Ji Qiuyu had never seen the light since childhood, but for some reason, when he saw the pale light shining in the darkness, the word "light" subconsciously flashed through his mind.

On Xiaogu's huge body, the skin and flesh seven inches apart opened up, and a pale flower grew out of it, emitting a bright light in the darkness.

Ji Qiuyu stared at the glowing flowers, tears streaming down her face.

He only had animal instincts and didn't know that the emotion that suddenly surged in his heart at this moment was called "sorrow".

"Fizz!"

Ji Qiuyu heard Xiaogu wailing again, and the movement of banging his head against the sharp stone became more and more intense.

"no, do not want!"

Ji Qiuyu was in a panic, and his animal instinct made him roll and crawl towards Xiao Gu. He ignored his broken bones and jumped up to the seven-inch mark next to the pale flower.

His intact right hand tightly grasped Xiao Gu's scales to prevent himself from falling from Xiao Gu's struggling body.

His left hand, twisted by a broken bone, trembled as he reached out to the pale flower and grasped the branch.

Ji Qiuyu's intuition told him that Xiaogu's pain came from this flower.

He wanted to break the flowers.

However, when he bent it, the pale flower did not move at all.

As if silently mocking his weakness.

Ji Qiuyu was anxious: "No...you are not allowed to hurt Xiao Gu!"

He moved inch by inch, approached the pale flower, opened his mouth, and bit the thorny branch with his incomplete teeth, which cut the soft flesh in his mouth and made him want to cry in pain.

Ji Qiuyu's eyes were filled with tears as he desperately bit the pale flower, making threatening growls of "woooo" from his mouth.

However, no matter how hard he tried, even if his mouth was torn apart, he could not break the flower.

"So, you'll take its place?"

At this time, a vague and sad voice sounded in Ji Qiuyu's mind, as if it came from ancient times, and it asked him with a bit of pity.

Ji Qiuyu did not hesitate, biting the flower branch and making a vague sound: "I will replace Xiao Gu!"

Let me bear this pain!

"Click."

The flower branch that Ji Qiuyu was holding tightly broke at this moment, and the small thorns that should have been hard also became soft, as if hinting at something to him.

Biting the pale flower, alarm bells rang in Ji Qiuyu's mind. His instinct for survival told him to quickly throw the flower away and stay away from himself!

But the little kid under him was still struggling and neighing, banging his head against the ground.

Ji Qiuyu raised her twisted left hand, stuffed the pale flower into her bloody mouth while crying, and swallowed it in big gulps.

I'll take your place...I'll take your place!

Xiao Gu, I will take responsibility for everything for you!

Don’t… don’t hurt yourself anymore, don’t bleed anymore, don’t feel pain anymore, don’t…

Sad.

When Ji Qiuyu swallowed the flower mixed with his blood with great pain, Xiaogu, who was twisting his body, finally stopped his self-harming behavior.

Xiaogu's huge snake body continued to shrink.

"Clap."

Ji Qiuyu fell directly to the ground, dizzy and dazed.

He still raised his head, searching for Xiao Gu's figure in the darkness, and asked incoherently: "Xiao Gu? Where are you?"

"Hiss..."

In the darkness, the faint sound of a small snake spitting out its saliva was heard, responding to his call.

Ji Qiuyu wanted to get up and walk over.

But with broken bones all over his body, he couldn't support his body at all. He could only use his relatively intact arms to rub the ground to move his body little by little.

Finally, he touched the cold and wet snake body in a corner of the cave and held it in his arms.

Xiao Gu, covered in blood, clung tightly to his naked skin, his poisonous blood corroding his flesh.

Ji Qiuyu thought that he was born not afraid of poison, so he would not die this way.

So he hugged Xiaogu tightly and closed his eyes weakly.

"never mind."

He said softly to Xiao Gu: "You won't feel pain again."

After Ji Qiuyu almost whispered these words, his vision went dark and he fell into a coma.

That day, he had a dream for the first time.

I dreamed of the sea.

He had obviously never seen the sea.

You can smell the salty taste in the air and see the boundless, gem-like blue, enchanting scene where the water and sky are one color.

And the female cultivator beside him whose appearance could not be seen clearly.

A thought subconsciously emerged in Ji Qiuyu's mind -

He and someone came to the beach.

For some reason, Ji Qiuyu felt sad.

It seems that this unprecedented magnificent seascape is not beautiful, but a piece of...

Sadly.
