Chapter 28

C28 – A Green Snake with a Story

Green couldn’t resist nudging the daydreaming Lee Tian with its tail and asked, “Big brother, are you okay?”

Startled, Lee Tian snapped out of his reverie and fixed a glare on Green. “When did you get here?”

“I’ve been right next to you for quite a while, big brother!”

Green let out a sigh, giving Lee Tian a meaningful look. “Big brother, you’ve fallen for that human girl, haven’t you?”

Lee Tian’s cheeks flushed with a mix of surprise and embarrassment as he reluctantly nodded.

Green sighed once more, “Big brother, you’re longing to transform into a human and win her love, aren’t you?”

Lee Tian’s surprise deepened. How could this snake understand so much?

“How did you know?” he inquired of Green.

Green flicked its tongue slowly, gazing into the distance with the wisdom of one who has seen much. “Because I’m a snake with experience. I, too, am deeply in love with a human girl. My diligent cultivation to become human is driven by the hope of one day living alongside her.”

Green’s panic intensified; he was completely at a loss and blurted out, “I knew it! Those humans aren’t as benevolent as they seem. They must have given you ant poison!”

“This is it, big brother. You’re going to die. What am I going to do?”

Green’s anxiety was so acute that he turned pale, but he was clueless about how to help, and could only watch Lee Tian suffer.

However, after a few rolls on the ground, Lee Tian seemed to ease up a bit and quieted down.

Yet, he still felt a terrible discomfort in his stomach. Initially, it felt like a searing burn, but now it was as if he had swallowed a huge chunk of ice, leaving a chilling sensation that was extremely unsettling.

“Big brother, could the medicine the humans gave you actually be Ant Medicine?” Green asked, worried.

Lee Tian shook his head and replied, “I don’t think it was Ant Medicine. When they administered it, they referred to it as the ‘Spirit Cultivating Pill.'”

“Spirit Cultivating Pill!” Green exclaimed in shock, acting as though he recognized the term.

In truth, he had no idea what it was.

“What is that? Is it toxic?” Green regained his composure, staring blankly at Lee Tian.
