76: The little female failed to escape.

The Little Female was truly smart and cute.

But her physical strength was still a bit lacking.

Since she was the one who started this game of 'she flees, he pursues, and she finds it impossible to escape'...

Then he would help her train a bit.

The Cold-Blooded Snake Beastman excitedly thrashed the ground with his tail, and several non-venomous King Snakes and a non-venomous Python as thick as a bowl moved toward the black-haired human girl.

Nan Zhisui was exhausted from running. Just as she slowed down and leaned against a tree to rest, she saw several snakes of various colors heading toward her!

Ahhhhhhh!!!

So many snakes, and there's even a giant Python!

Without a second word, Nan Zhisui turned and ran, with several snakes chasing quickly behind her!

She ran, huffing and puffing.

She didn't know how long or how far she had run until she was utterly exhausted. Her legs were truly weak, and her trembling legs were still shuffling forward.

I'm going to die, I'm going to die, I'm really going to die.

To think that she, a young Veterinarian who had barely made the cut to enter a 985 University's veterinary medicine program, was going to meet her end in this forest swamp before she could even shine!

She took several spring thunder explosives out of her Space.

If she used the spring thunder, then the fake trail she had created for Xuan Jin would be completely wasted. Xuan Jin would definitely hear the commotion here and take her back.

But if she didn't use the spring thunder, she might actually meet her end at the hands of these snakes.

She had no idea that the trail of footprints she had made had been discarded by Xuan Jin after just a single glance.

He was determining her location through the direction of the scent lingering in the air!

Blow them up. Hahaha, blow them up.

Isn't it just being taken back to the Cave by Xuan Jin again? It's not the first time!

However, just as she was about to detonate the spring thunder, a huge shadow appeared in front of her.

She looked up and saw that Xuan Se Cold-Blooded Snake Beastman looking down at her from above.

Nan Zhisui's expression became incredibly strange.

She hadn't even detonated the spring thunder yet; how did this snake find her?

“Xuan... Xuan Jin?!”

The Xuan Se Cold-Blooded Snake Beastman looked down at the Little Female before him. There was an indistinguishable hint of a smile in his cold eyes as he flicked his forked tongue. “Can't run anymore? Little Female.”

Nan Zhisui: “...”

Why? How on earth did he find her?

“Do you still want to resist? Little fellow.”

“I...”

Although the Cold-Blooded Snake Beastman was lean, his marble-like muscles were rock hard. He crouched down and hoisted his Little Female onto his shoulder.

Nan Zhisui hung upside down over his shoulder, her hair, wet with sweat from overexertion, hanging down to his lower back.

Every time she struggled, his palm gripping the back of her knees would tighten a few fractions, and he would lightly swat her buttocks as a lesson.

“Let go of me!! You bastard Stinky Snake, trash snake, let me go!!!”

Nan Zhisui hammered his back with force.

She didn't believe it! Was the Strongman Ability the System gave her some counterfeit garbage?

How could it be completely useless against this Cold-Blooded Snake Beastman?!

The Cold-Blooded Snake Beastman was actually a bit surprised by her strength.

The Little Female's strength was a bit weaker than a wild beast's, but it was already much more powerful than a normal Female's.

He flicked his tongue, and it brushed against her exposed thigh.

“...”

Nan Zhisui immediately became well-behaved!

Damn it, the Stinky Snake was taking advantage of her!

He did it on purpose; he definitely, absolutely, certainly did it on purpose!

She was too lazy to walk anyway, so she slowly closed her eyes.

Halfway through the walk, Xuan Jin noticed that her breathing had become steady.

The Cold-Blooded Snake Beastman shifted his body slightly, changing from carrying her on his shoulder to holding her in his arms.

She could even fall asleep like this.

**

When Nan Zhisui woke up in a daze, there was a piece of bloody meat beside her.

She was startled and sat up abruptly. When she realized it was the meat of a prey, she could only stroke her chest with her hand to calm her startled emotions.

The only one who could do something so outrageous was that infuriating bastard snake!

She looked up and, sure enough, saw that snake looking at her coldly.

“Eat,” he said briefly.

Nan Zhisui: “...I refuse.”

“It's fine, you will eat.” At first, she was unwilling to eat raw meat because she wasn't hungry enough; once she was hungry for long enough, she would eventually eat.

Nan Zhisui was defiant.

In the past, she had been mistreated so badly and was so hungry that she had no choice but to eat raw beast meat.

She was a cooked-food person and truly couldn't stand raw meat; she didn't want to experience that taste ever again.

And now, her 200-cubic-meter Space was full of food. In short, she wouldn't starve to death!

“Still too weak. Physical stamina is too poor.” Xuan Jin sat across from Nan Zhisui, his snake tail already transformed into strong, slender legs.

He rested one hand on his knee, his wicked black snake pupils gazing at her nonchalantly.

Five years had passed, but her appearance seemed to have stayed five years ago, without any change at all.

The same went for her strength; her speed wasn't fast, and while her power seemed a bit stronger, there was no overall progress. It seemed her other beast husbands had never thought of training her.

But he was different.

As a Cold-Blooded Snake Beastman, he tended to get sleepy when it was too hot in summer and would hibernate when it was too cold in winter. There were many times when he wouldn't be able to protect her well.

So she needed to have the ability to protect herself.

She must become strong. There was no other possibility.

Because only then could he possess her exclusively!

“Xuan Jin, why must you keep me locked up?” Nan Zhisui also sat up, meeting his gaze neither humbly nor arrogantly.

“You should know that I don't like you one bit. My contract with you was completely forced!”

Small snakes were okay.

But she was terrified of giant snakes.

She had Megalo-ophidiophobia!

Every time Xuan Jin revealed his true form in front of her, she almost fainted.

Moreover, she wasn't a masochist; how could she possibly like a Male who liked to confine her in a Cave and force her to eat raw meat?

The Cold-Blooded Snake Beastman's pupils constricted slightly.

Even though he knew she didn't like him, hearing her say it out loud still stung his heart. “It doesn't matter whether you like me or not.”

Xuan Jin toyed with the wooden stick in his hand. “I've taken an interest in you; that's what's important.”

“...” Holy crap, what kind of ridiculous overbearing CEO speech is that?!

Seeing that reasoning was completely useless, Nan Zhisui simply stopped talking. She lay back down on the stone bed, her back turned to him.

The Cold-Blooded Snake Beastman was very patient. Once she stopped moving, the black Cold-Blooded Snake Beastman transformed into his snake form and crawled onto her stone bed.

Nan Zhisui felt him approaching. When she turned around, she saw a massive black Python head!!!!

“Hissing sound!!!!!”

Oh my god!!!!!!!!!

Nan Zhisui fainted.

Xuan Jin's vertical pupils immediately narrowed, and his upper body transformed into human form.

How could she still not be used to his snake form after all this time?

**

When Nan Zhisui woke up again, she didn't dare open her eyes for a long time.

She thought of the several Males and cubs at home.

White Fox had used his ability; she wondered how he was doing now?

Lan Xing, that crybaby, was probably crying non-stop.

Little Aqi was the most clingy to her; she didn't know if he was coping without her.

If Little Snake Yang knew she had been kidnapped, she wondered if he would cry from anxiety.

And there was Little Fu; Little Fu was the most prone to shedding little pearls of tears.

She really wanted to go back... but she had to face this bastard snake.

She only hoped that this Cold-Blooded Snake Beastman was currently in human form rather than snake form.

At the very least, a Semi-beast form would be better.

The giant black snake in its Full beast form was truly too terrifying; she couldn't handle it, absolutely not!

She was just an ordinary person.

She wasn't a 'strong' girl!

In her previous life, when she read snake beastman novels, she thought they were quite exciting.

But in reality, when such a large snake head approached her, she was instinctively afraid!

It was the kind of fear ingrained in human DNA, a hair-raising fear!

She carefully and slowly opened her eyes, only to find the Cave in total darkness.

That Cold-Blooded Snake Beastman was actually not in the Cave.

Had he once again piled several large stones at the Cave entrance and gone out?

Reaching this conclusion, Nan Zhisui breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

Her first escape attempt hadn't gone smoothly; she had encountered wild beasts and was caught back by Xuan Jin.

But would she give up on escaping just because of this one failure?

Impossible.
