Chapter 297: Ruins of the Plain (2)
“Who’s talking? Come out! Stop playing games!” Feng Da shouted into the void.
“Feng Da, stop shouting. The voice is far away!” Leng Ruoxue said very calmly.
“Haha, little girl, you are much smarter than I imagined,” the voice said with admiration.
“Thank you for the compliment. What is your purpose? Tell me! Don’t waste everyone’s time,” Leng Ruoxue said bluntly.
“Little girl, you’re really impatient. But since you’ve passed the illusion test, you’re naturally qualified to see me. Come here!” the voice said.
A teleportation array appeared in the room.
“Let’s go!” Leng Ruoxue looked at everyone and took the lead to enter the teleportation array…
After the light flashed, Leng Ruoxue and the others arrived in another room.
“Grandpa!” Leng Ruoxue saw Leng Qingtian looking at her with a smile as soon as she entered the room.
“Grandpa, I’m so glad you’re okay.” Leng Ruoxue dashed toward Leng Qingtian and threw herself into his arms.
“Silly girl. Grandpa is fine. Don’t worry.” Leng Qingtian hugged his granddaughter and comforted her.
“Grandpa, what is this place?” Leng Ruoxue asked curiously while looking around the room.
This room was rather luxurious and spacious. The whole room was mainly made of silver, and the walls were full of valuable treasures. Any one of them was enough for ordinary people to live for a lifetime.
But there was no one else in the giant room other than her grandfather and Ink Thunder. Moreover, the throne in the room was empty. Obviously, the owner of the room wasn’t here.
“Xue’er, this is the snake’s territory,” Leng Qingtian explained.
“Grandpa, have you seen that snake?” Leng Ruoxue asked.
“Yes, we’ve met and chatted for a while,” Leng Qingtian said. He had been trying to pry information from the snake when Xue’er and the others fell into the illusion spell.
“Oh, hey, you let us in but disappeared yourself. That’s really impolite!” Leng Ruoxue deliberately shouted loudly after hearing what her grandfather said. She believed that the snake could hear her.
“As the host, how can I meet guests if I don’t dress up nicely!” a voice replied.
“You don’t have to dress up. No matter how you dress up, you’re still a snake and can’t change anything,” Leng Ruoxue said mockingly with two drops of cold sweat on her forehead. She had never heard of a beast who dressed up when seeing guests. What a stinky snake.
“Not necessarily,” the voice said, unconvinced.
Immediately afterward, fresh flowers of all colors drifted down from the sky, and the faint fragrance of flowers filled the entire room…
What does this snake want? Leng Ruoxue was speechless. Why did it sprinkle flowers for no reason!
“Didn’t you say you wanted flowers? You can have some now!” The voice sounded again.
“If Xue’er wants flowers, I’ll give them to her. Go away!” Freak roared with jealousy. Damn it. How dare he try to woo her in front of me. This is courting death!
“Little girl, this man’s temper is really too bad,” the voice complained.
“None of your business. Come out quickly!” Leng Ruoxue said impatiently.
“If you still don’t come out, I’ll dig up all your treasures, move your throne, and burn your room,” Leng Ruoxue added.
“Eh! Little girl, you’re ruthless,” the voice said helplessly.
Immediately afterward, spatial fluctuations appeared in the room, and an incomparably gigantic white snake appeared out of thin air in front of everyone, almost occupying the entire room.
This snake was at least a hundred meters long and ten meters thick. The white scales on its body were smooth and exquisite like white jade, and each scale was the size of a millstone. At this moment, its huge silver eyes were looking at Leng Ruoxue with slight teasing.
What a beautiful snake. Is this a snow python? Leng Ruoxue looked at it thoughtfully. The human and snake stared at each other…
Leng Ruoxue and the snake stared at each other for a long time before she finally exploded! “Are you done looking?!”
“Weren’t you looking at me too? I didn’t even say anything!” Confound said aggrievedly in his true form.
“…” Leng Ruoxue was speechless. Can this snake be more normal?
“You’re too fat. It’s time to lose weight,” Leng Ruoxue suddenly said after a while.
“My figure is standard,” Confound said calmly, but his eyes clearly said, ‘what’s with your gaze?’
“I can’t tell. You take up too much space,” Leng Ruoxue said honestly.
Upon hearing this, Confound lowered his head and looked at his body while thinking to himself, I’m in pretty good shape! How is it taking up space?
Confound looked at Leng Ruoxue shyly and stammered, “Um… I want to acknowledge you as my master.”
“I don’t want to.” Leng Ruoxue refused without even thinking about it.
“Why? What’s wrong with me?” Confound widened his eyes in disbelief. He never dreamed that this little girl would be unwilling to let him acknowledge her as his master even though he took the initiative to do so. This really hurt his self-esteem.
“You’re too fat and take up too much space,” Leng Ruoxue said disdainfully.
“I’m not fat, and I don’t take up space,” Confound quickly said. Boohoo… My body is the best among the snake race. Why am I being despised by this little girl? He couldn’t understand no matter what. It had to be known that he deliberately showed his strong body in front of Leng Ruoxue.
“You’re almost occupying the entire room,” Leng Ruoxue reminded.
“Uh! I can become smaller.” Then he transformed into an extremely cute little white snake and climbed onto Leng Ruoxue’s body.
Leng Ruoxue grabbed the little snake that was only as thick as a finger and looked into his eyes. “Tell me, what is the task here?”
“Accept me, and you will complete the task,” Confound explained. Alas! His illusion formation was ineffective against Leng Ruoxue, so he was destined to acknowledge this little girl as his master. This was the rule of the mystic realm, and no person or beast could violate it.
“Why is the task here so simple?” Leng Ruoxue asked in disbelief. Is there nothing else other than an illusion?
