The whole world is cultivating qi, only I am cultivating the body

Shaking his head gently, now was not the time to think about these things. Zeng Wenyu turned his attention back to the steel-winged eagle in the sky. The steel-winged eagle had been circling in the sky. The physical energy it consumed was no less than Zeng Wenyu. Now it depended on who would give up first, it or him.

Zeng Wenyu stood on the ground, his stomach began to growl. Although skipping a meal would not have any effect on him now, he still felt hungry, especially when he smelled something delicious when his stomach was empty, the feeling of hunger would be even stronger.

"Hmm? Where does the fragrance come from?" He suddenly realized that the only smell near this place was the juice of the grass he cut yesterday. What was that fragrance that made his hunger even stronger?

He turned his head slightly and looked in the direction of the fragrance with his peripheral vision. He saw a small white snake emerging from the tall grass. The small white snake seemed to be holding something in its mouth. The fragrance came from what the small white snake was holding.

The little white snake swam out from the grass, and began to climb along Zeng Wenyu's legs, all the way to his shoulders. It tilted its head and rubbed the thing in its mouth on Zeng Wenyu's lips. Zeng Wenyu didn't want to open his mouth at first, but the taste of that thing was so fragrant that after rubbing it on his lips a few times, he subconsciously opened his mouth, and the little white snake took the opportunity to put the thing into Zeng Wenyu's mouth.

The fragrance continued to stimulate Zeng Wenyu. He watched with his peripheral vision the expectant look of the little white snake after the thing was put into his mouth. He made up his mind and began to chew the thing in his mouth. However, after chewing it, he found that this thing was quite delicious. Moreover, as he swallowed the thing in his mouth, a burst of pure energy came from his stomach, and the hunger was immediately relieved a lot.

Seeing him eat the food, the little white snake rubbed its head against his face for a few times, spit out its tongue and licked his face, then climbed off his body again and disappeared into the grass.

When the little white snake came back again, the fragrance appeared again. After feeding Zeng Wenyu several times, the little white snake seemed a little tired. It crawled back into Zeng Wenyu's arms along his body and wrapped its body in his clothes. It did not attack Zeng Wenyu again, but just coiled up and rested quietly.

In the following time, whenever Zeng Wenyu's stomach began to growl, the little white snake would crawl out of his arms to find something to feed him. After the hunger in his stomach disappeared, the little white snake would crawl into his arms and begin to rest. This situation lasted for three whole days. Finally, the steel-feathered eagle in the sky could not hold on any longer. It had been hovering in the sky for the past three days, with no time to hunt, and no ability to rest. Finally, it flew away on the morning of the fourth day.

Seeing that the figure of the Steel-winged Eagle had completely disappeared, Zeng Wenyu propped himself up and took two steps, walking to the side of the giant python made of grass. He tilted his body back, half leaning and half lying on the pile of grass that was almost dry.

Feeling the movement, the little white snake poked its head out from his arms as it lay on the ground. He raised his right hand and took the little white snake out of his arms. The little white snake coiled up in his hands obediently. During the past three days, every time the little white snake went out to help him find food, it would curl up in his clothes to rest. It must have found medicine to heal itself along the way, and its wounds have almost healed.

Looking closely at the little white snake in his hand, it was not big, only about the thickness of Zeng Wenyu's little finger, but the body of the little white snake was relatively long, about one meter long. When it was coiled in his hand, part of its body was resting on his arm.

He gently touched the little white snake's head with his left hand, and the little white snake rubbed his fingers. Looking at the well-behaved little white snake in front of him, he said, "Thank you for these few days. If you hadn't helped me find food everywhere, I might not have been able to survive the steel-feathered eagle."

The little white snake cannot speak, but it is already intelligent. It rubbed its head on Zeng Wenyu's left hand and licked his hand with its tongue. Looking at the little white snake in front of him, Zeng Wenyu could not tell the gender of the little white snake, but he felt that the little white snake in front of him must be the most beautiful one among all snakes.

"Now I understand why Xu Xian was willing to protect Bai Niangzi after he knew she was a snake. Beautiful snakes are really beautiful. Even by human aesthetic standards, they are beautiful!" He stroked the little white snake's head with his hand, "I know you can understand what I say. How about it? Do you want to follow me in the future?"

Hearing Zeng Wenyu's words, the little white snake tilted its head. It could indeed understand some of what Zeng Wenyu said, but it was also confused about what the story about Xu Xian and White Snake was about before. However, not understanding did not mean that it could not read Zeng Wenyu's expression. When he said this, Zeng Wenyu's expression was only one of reminiscence, which did not mean that he had any thoughts that were unfavorable to it.

After thinking for a while, the little white snake nodded. Seeing the little white snake nod, Zeng Wenyu sat up and said, "Since we are going to travel the world together in the future, I can't always call you little white snake. Why not give you a name? How about calling you White Lady? Or Bai Suzhen?"

Hearing these two names, the little white snake subconsciously thought of Xu Xian whom Zeng Wenyu had just mentioned. It felt its body tremble and immediately shook its head.

"Don't you like it? What about Xiaobai? No, no, the name Xiaobai always reminds me of a naughty boy," he said, stroking the little white snake's head. "It's a pure white snake, without any other colors on its body. I can't think of a good name for you right now, so I'll just call you Xiaoxue."

The little white snake paused when it heard this perfunctory name, and seemed to be a little hesitant. Seeing its hesitation, Zeng Wenyu laughed awkwardly twice: "Well, naming is too sudden, and you are a demon beast that has already cultivated. You can give yourself a nice name after you have cultivated and transformed. The name Xiaoxue is just a transitional name before you transform."

Hearing Zeng Wenyu say this, the little white snake turned its head away and seemed a little angry. Zeng Wenyu hurriedly stroked its body with his hands, trying to comfort it. However, just as his fingers touched the little white snake's tail, the little white snake's body stiffened, turned its head and bit his fingers.

"Eh? You don't want me to touch you? Are you shy? Xiaoxue, you are not a female snake, are you?"

Hearing what he said, the little white snake began to bite his mouth hard. Although it did not reveal its teeth, Zeng Wenyu could still feel its shame and anger from the strength of the little white snake biting him.

"No way! Is it really a female snake?!"
