What is wrong with raising snakes?

Xuan Qingci suddenly remembered the scene he saw in the River of Forgetfulness, and couldn't help but ask, "What about behind?"

Yan Fenglang let out a long sigh, turned over and pressed the man down, stared at him with malicious eyes, and threatened: "If you don't sleep again, don't even try to sleep."

Xuan Qingci quickly shut his mouth, pretending not to hear.

Seeing that he finally calmed down, Yan Fenglang hugged him into his arms and rested.

Silence returned to the room, and the cold wind outside the window was blocked by Yan Fenglang's barrier and could not enter. At this time, a rugged silver light of stars revealed from the sky, pointing directly at the window of Yan Fenglang's room.

Heavenly Emperor Ku was half lying on the Qianlong chair in the Purple Emblem Hall, dangling the jade cup in his hand, his frowning expression really puzzled the crane.

The Emperor of Heaven is not a person who would be bothered by trifles. The reason why he could stare at the jade cup like this with a look of dismay is probably because of the God Yan Jun who collected the soul from the lower realm.

"Heavenly Emperor." The crane couldn't help calling out.

"God?"

Di Ku shook his hand holding the jade cup, turned his head and looked at her suspiciously, his face of "what are you calling me for" made Xian He stunned, and saw the expression of a young man on the face of the Emperor of Heaven for the first time.

"Is there something bothering the lower immortal to see the Heavenly Emperor?" Xianhe asked with his head sideways.

Di Ku realized that his posture was inappropriate, so he got up and sat upright and said, "He's coming back."

"Heavenly Emperor means Yan Jun Shangshen?" Immortal Crane mustered up the courage to walk over, poured a cup of hot tea for Heavenly Emperor, and continued, "It will be a matter of time to complete the enchantment and collect evil spirits. What worries does Heavenly Emperor have?"

Di Ku took a sip of tea, staring at the still green onion tea inside, a little dazed.

"Is the Emperor of Heaven worried about Yan Jun?" Xianhe asked again.

Di Ku raised his head all of a sudden, and replied coldly, "What do you know?"

Immortal Crane took a step back abruptly, gritted his teeth under Di Ku's cold eyes and took another step forward, saying: "There are rumors in the heavens that Lord Yan is a twin star system, and I'm afraid it will be unfavorable to the heavens."

As soon as the words fell, there was silence in the Zihui Hall.

Xianhe was so nervous that he didn't even dare to breathe out, he raised his eyes to observe Di Ku's face secretly, but saw that he was staring at him with a sullen face, and quickly knelt down with a "plop".

"The Emperor of Heaven, calm down! These rumors are nothing but nonsense, the little fairies are ignorant, please don't argue with them!"

Di Ku approached her and asked in a cold voice, "Where did these words... come from?"

When the crane heard it, it knocked its head on the ground, wishing to bury itself in the ground.

"If you don't tell me, I know what's going on."

The crane became even more flustered, knelt and crawled over in fear, trying to grab the hem of the Emperor's clothes but dared not do so, so he knocked his head on the ground and made a loud noise to attract the Emperor's attention.

However, the Emperor of Heaven didn't even look back.

"Emperor—Emperor!"

Di Ku went straight to the Seven Star Terrace, where Lord Xing used to guard the trajectory of the stars, and Lord Yan's astrolabe was once placed here.

"See the Emperor of Heaven." Xingjun bowed down very respectfully, bowing his hands together.

Di Ku passed by him and walked towards the astrolabe, looked at the extremely dazzling Purple Emblem star in his astrolabe, and said, "What do you think about Yan Jun's twin star unity?"

Xingjun frowned, pretending to say: "The first rule of heaven is that anyone who threatens the Three Realms must be eliminated."

Di Ku sent his eyes to the empty astrolabe, which used to be Yan Fenglang's astrolabe.

He said: "Except for the threat, except for Yan Jun Shangshen, Xing Jun, do you know what Yan Jun's fall means?"

Xing Jun smiled, stroked his white beard, and replied: "The next immortal only knows that the Emperor of Heaven should put the Three Realms as the most important thing."

Di Ku turned around and looked at him with his hands behind his back, and said in a cold voice: "Yan Jun fell, the gate of ghosts dissipated, and tens of thousands of souls returned to the earth. There will be no reincarnation, and the Yin and Yang of the three realms... will be completely overthrown."

Xingjun squinted his eyes, pointed at the astrolabe of the Emperor of Heaven and said: "But once Lord Yan gains power, these three realms will be completely overturned, and then not only my heavenly realm, but also the demon and human realms will be destroyed! Of course it belongs to all things, those monsters, immortals, people, and even you, the Emperor of Heaven, don’t they also belong to all things? Whichever is more important, please be careful.”

Di Ku looked at him coldly, and slowly asked, "Does Lord Xing know the difference between a god and an immortal?"

Xingjun folded his arms, breathed out from his nose, and said, "What does the Emperor of Heaven want to say?"

"Gods exist forever, and immortals are born according to fate." Di Ku was facing Xingjun, and said, "Gods are controlled by the sky, immortals are controlled by gods, and Yan Jun is God's fate, none of us can change it."

Xing Jun finally understood Di Ku's meaning, stared at his old eyes, and retorted: "Is the Heavenly Emperor really going to let Yan Jun destroy the Three Realms that we have guarded for thousands of years?"

Di Ku took a deep breath, turned around and was about to leave the Seven Star Terrace, when Xing Jun shouted twice behind him, his voice full of anger.

With a sinister expression, Di Ku counterattacked with a spell, and slapped Xingjun hard on the chest, knocking him back again and again.

"Does Xingjun Shangxian want to leapfrog?"

Xingjun knew that he had offended the Emperor of Heaven, so he had no choice but to hold back his anger and knelt on the ground in fear.

"The Emperor of Heaven appeases his anger."

Di Ku ignored it and left the Seven Star Terrace.

Xuan Qingci, who slept until noon, woke up and didn't see Yan Fenglang. He felt flustered. He remembered the nothingness he saw in the Wangchuan River. He got out of bed and ran out without even remembering to put on his shoes.

Yan Fenglang didn't have the habit of sleeping in the first place. Even after staying in the human world for 20 years, he still didn't develop the habit of waking up and sleeping at night like ordinary people. So he just closed his eyes and rested for two hours before waking up, lying on his side in Xuanqing Ci next to him, staring at his sleeping face for two whole hours.

He thought that Xuan Qingci hadn't eaten for a while, so he went to the back kitchen to find Xiaoer to make a pot of snake soup. When he brought it in, it would be better if he met Xuan Qingci who was about to run out, and almost threw up the soup flipped.

Yan Fenglang looked at Xuan Qingci standing barefoot on the ground with a flustered expression, and he couldn't help worrying: "What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"

Xuan Qing watched Yan Fenglang walk in with a pot of hot snake soup in his voice, and followed him with his eyes, refusing to miss a single step.Yan Fenglang turned his head and saw him staring at him intently, as if he was going to swallow him alive.

"Go and put on your shoes." Yan Fenglang said softly.

However, Xuan Qingci did not listen to him.

Yan Fenglang frowned slightly, and asked a question that even he himself found a little funny: "Don't want to wear shoes?"

Only then did Xuan Qingci come back to his senses, looked down at his bare feet, and whispered, "I see you're not here..."

Yan Fenglang was slightly taken aback, and then joked, "Are you afraid that I'll run away?"

"It's good that you are here."

After speaking, he slowly came back to his senses and prepared to wear it.

Seeing his slow look, Yan Fenglang brought him to the edge of the bed, wiped the dust on his feet with a cotton cloth, frowned and reproached him, "Don't do this in the future."

As he was speaking, he slapped Xuan Qingci's bare instep twice as punishment, and when he saw that Xuan Qingci didn't respond at all, he scratched the sole of his foot hard, causing Xuan Qingci to retract his foot all of a sudden.

"Did you hear?"

Xuan Qingci let out a soft "hmm", and swallowed what he originally wanted to say.

Seeing that he had indeed memorized the words, Yan Fenglang patiently handed him the clothes and said, "I won't leave you behind, you will have me in the days to come. Alright, I'll make snake soup for you, Come and taste it."

Xuan Qingci finished washing quickly, took a sip of the soup, smacked his lips without saying a word, and took another sip for himself.

Yan Fenglang, who was sitting at the table waiting for the evaluation, his eyes moved up and down following Xuan Qingci's posture of drinking soup, and his head moved up and down accordingly.

"How about it?"

Xuan Qingci paused with the spoon on his mouth, glanced at Yan Fenglang, rolled his red eyes, and swallowed a mouthful of soup.

"Shangshen Yan Jun made it with his own hands. If you take a sip, you may live a long life."

Yan Fenglang said "Hey" and said, "You're still teasing me! I'll ask you, is it good or not?"

Xuan Qingci looked at the soup in the spoon, then glanced at the snake scales floating under the snake in the pot, and replied: "Feng Lang is very talented."

Yan Fenglang didn't believe it, took the spoon in Xuan Qingci's hand, and took a big gulp for himself. Before he swallowed it, his eyes widened, he threw the spoon, and made a gesture to take away the snake soup pot, but He was stopped by Xuan Qingci.

Yan Fenglang didn't want to swallow the soup, but he didn't want to just keep it in his mouth either, so he had to bite the bullet and swallowed with a "gudong", and just after swallowing, he picked up the water bottle and poured water into his mouth.

"you you……"

"I am a snake. Snakes have no sense of taste, so they can't taste sweet, sour, bitter and spicy."

After speaking, he scooped a spoonful for himself.

When Yan Fenglang saw him, he quickly grabbed his wrist and said, "Stop drinking, I'll take you to the cypress forest."

"What are you doing there?" Xuan Qingci asked him strangely, grabbing him.

Seeing his puzzled look, Yan Fenglang suddenly felt distressed, and replied, "Don't you eat snakes for a living? I took you to the cypress forest, of course to catch a snake for you."

"Wait, don't you... don't you like me to eat the same kind?"

Yan Fenglang pursed his lips, always feeling a little embarrassed to speak, his face seemed a little hot.

"It used to be, but it's not anymore. Everything can't go against nature. Your nature is like this. How can I force you to go against it?"

Xuan Qingci's heart seemed to be illuminated by the warm sun, the heat made him a little confused, and he was taken to the cypress forest by Yan Fenglang in a daze.

The cypress forest in late spring still retains the dampness and coldness of the last winter, Yan Fenglang followed the traces of snakes coming out of their holes, and carefully searched for the snakes.

Xuan Qingci didn't take any action, just followed behind Yan Fenglang, watched him search for breath, watched him scrutinize the traces left on the soil, watched him ecstatically find the first snake hole.

He didn't want to disturb Yan Fenglang who was in a state of excitement at the moment, obviously he could do these things by himself.

"Hush—I don't know if you like it, but you stand still and I'll catch it."

Standing under the cypress tree not far away, Xuan Qingci watched Yan Fenglang stab into the muddy snake hole with the bamboo slips he usually used to collect souls, and his heart immediately warmed.

"Puff Sisi~"

A snake's breath came out suddenly from the snake hole, and Yan Fenglang turned his head to show Xuan Qingci a bright and proud smile.

But at this moment, the long red glandular snake bit Yan Fenglang's wrist fiercely, Xuan Qingci was startled, Yan Fenglang subconsciously cast a spell, and a bamboo slip filled with wet soil instantly nailed the long snake to Yan Fenglang's wrist On the cypress tree.

Xuan Qingci ran over quickly, took Yan Fenglang's hand, examined it carefully, and said worriedly: "I didn't bite you, did I? In the future, I will do it myself. I am poisonous and it can't hurt me, but you won't It's the same."

Yan Fenglang watched him turn his hands over and over, looking at them non-stop, and was secretly amused.

"I want to catch you myself, I want...to do what you have done."
