A huge thank you to Gina for directing me to another source for the original raws that I was desperate to find! I cannot explain how excited I was when I checked out my email and I found out that I had received the thing I was searching for.
I may also translate those original chapters as a bonus (since I was already halfway through when I realised they weren’t the newest ones qwq) as I had fun reading them whilst translating.
“Is that child still alive now? Do these pythons… have anything to do with that child?” Xia Nuo caught the subtle connection and couldn’t help asking.
“Of course he is alive, and he is also the chief culprit of the python disaster. “Na Duo Sha’s expression was very flat, “He was able to manipulate pythons from birth and make them obey him. In the past five years, the number of pythons in Nasuru has increased sharply, and pythons are rampant. Then just five months ago, the first tragedy happened. “
She doesn’t seem to hate the child who caused the disaster. Combined with the fact that she said she had a grudge against the villagers before, her current behaviour is not difficult to understand.
But……
“Then why are you telling us the solution to the python plague?” Xia Nuo was very puzzled.
Since she doesn’t conflict with that child, and that child helped her indirectly, why did she choose to help brave men like them?
Na Duo Sha lowered her head, and after a while, she suddenly showed a strange smile: “Because he is too disobedient.”
She seemed to be talking to Xia Nuo, but in fact, it was more like talking to herself: “Too young and disobedient, and even bold enough to provoke the holy tree…”
“You should also know that I am the former priest of the Holy Tree, right? Although it has been abolished, it is still my responsibility to serve the Holy Tree. After repeatedly urging him and his refusal to listen, I had no choice but to do so. “
To provoke the holy tree?
Xia Nuo’s thoughts turned, and he remembered the child he met that day, chasing a little white snake. What he said was——
“The village chief said that as long as you see a snake, you must kill it! If you don’t do this, they will eat the roots of the tree and destroy the sacred tree!”
“Is it because snakes eat the roots of sacred trees?” Xia Nuo couldn’t help asking.
Na Duo Sha didn’t answer, as if acquiescing to his guess.
“But won’t the holy tree stop them?”
Na Duo Sha laughed as if mocking his innocence: “The root system of the holy tree is spread all over the mountain forest. There are so many of them and they are huge in size. It can be said to be insignificant for a sacred tree.”
“But—” she changed her words, “Although the holy tree doesn’t care, I can’t just sit idly by. The authority of the holy tree is definitely not something that a little snake like him can violate.”
“……”
After listening to her explanation, Xia Nuo always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn’t tell why.
He had a faint feeling in his heart that the holy tree didn’t care as she said, but had other plans.
From the descriptions of the surrounding villagers, it is easy to know that it is absolutely easy for the holy tree to deal with a small snake that is not in the climate, not to mention that the little snake still lives in the forest controlled by the holy tree.
But it seems that Na Duo Sha will not disclose any more information, so Xia Nuo can only hide this doubt in his heart for the time being, and ask, “Then what is the solution to the python disaster?”
“It’s actually very simple.” Na Duo Sha said, “I investigated what happened back then, and found that Zhuo Yang’s wife was not a real python, but a magical creature transformed by humans. She is indeed the daughter of the mentor as Zhuo Yang said, but he did inherit the research of transforming humans into magical creations from the mentor. “
Transforming humans into magical creations……
Xia Nuo’s heart tightened: “Did Zhuo Yang’s wife do it voluntarily?”
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he knew he had asked a stupid question. Whether it is voluntary or not, breaking away from human identity and becoming another species is the same pain for those involved.
“Who knows?” Na Duo Sha shook her head, “But Zhuo Yang didn’t end well. Wasn’t he still swallowed by his wife in the end, leaving only a bone?”
“Let’s get down to business, if you want to solve the python disaster, you only need to restore Zhuo Yang’s child to a human being.”
Facing Xia Nuo’s surprised eyes, she explained: “The child was born as a little snake, and he has completely inherited his mother’s talent, being able to manipulate the same kind. But this talent was given by his monster blood, once he turned back to human, this talent will naturally disappear. “
“Of course, the brave men can also choose to kill him, but judging by the current situation, I’m afraid this plan is not feasible.”
Na Duo Sha said it tactfully, but Xia Nuo understood what she meant: other than him, the other brave men were captured by the pythons. It seems that they are not the opponents of those pythons at all.
Xia Nuo… Xia Nuo was unable to refute.
Na Duo Sha continued: “There is a library in the residence where you are now, and Zhuo Yang’s research notes are placed there, which records how to transform magical creations into humans. As for the others, I won’t go into details one by one.”
After she finished speaking, she left with a wink, leaving Xia Nuo to slowly digest the information she got.
“Chang An?” Since the conversation between the two just now, they have been silent for a long time as the man standing aside like an outsider spoke. He called the boy’s name and seeing his pensive appearance, he couldn’t help asking, “Do you find it difficult?”
“That’s not true.” Xia Nuo shook his head.
He breathed a sigh of relief and felt that he could already sort out the things to be done.
The first thing is to go to the top of the mountain and ask the whereabouts of his teammates from the holy tree.
The second thing is to rescue teammates and return to the residence.
The third thing is to find out how to turn the little snake into a human by studying the notes.
In this way, one, two, and three in a row feels much more organised.
But will things really go as smoothly as he thought?
Xia Nuo felt uneasy again for no reason, did he overlook something very important?
He frowned, clasped his hands together, and twisted his fingers subconsciously.
Seeing this scene, the man immediately grabbed his hand, faced the young man’s blank gaze, and asked softly, “Don’t make things difficult for yourself, look at your hand.”
Although the light didn’t make it obvious, clear red fingerprints could be seen on the knuckles of the teenager’s fingers.
Xia Nuo finally came to his senses, and quickly said, “Actually, it doesn’t hurt much…”
“But I will feel bad.” The man’s deep and magnetic voice rang in his ears.
Xia Nuo widened his round eyes, watching helplessly as the man raised his hand to his lips and pressed a kiss lightly, his black and white eyes looked over, like a whirlpool, attracting all his attention.
“……”
The tips of Xia Nuo’s ears turned red little by little.
It was as if a groundhog had run into his heart, he stood up and screamed “Aaahh”.
“You, you…” He muttered, and after a long time he finally said a complete sentence, “What exactly do you want to do?”
His voice was soft and aggrieved, rather than accusations, it was more like a soft complaint from a small animal after being bullied.
The man’s eyes were heavy, he took a step forward, and Xia Nuo suddenly realised that his figure was so tall that he could easily be enveloped in it.
The smile on the man’s face was still so gentle, but Xia Nuo felt a sense of unspeakable oppression from it, and the two light-coloured lips opened and closed, uttering words that he could no longer escape: “I like you, Chang An.”
The words of confession blurted out, and the man couldn’t help but feel a bit of a sudden realisation.
It turned out to be like this, so I liked the boy in front of me.
It turned out that from the first time I saw the boy, I kept clamouring for his insatiable desire in my heart because he liked him.
It was as if a patient who had been ill for a long time had finally found a cure for his life, and a burst of pure joy surged in the man’s heart.
“W-why is it so sudden? We’ve only known each other for a short time…” Xia Nuo felt as if his mouth was out of control.
He searched desperately for reasons for rejection in his mind.
Acquaintance time is too short? Feelings come too hastily? Our identities are out of place?
It’s a pity he didn’t notice that the only one of these reasons that didn’t appear was the option “I don’t like you”.
“Emotions are not measured by the length of time. I was attracted to you the first time I saw you. The man had a smile in his eyes, and he didn’t care about the boy’s insincere rejection, “Speaking bluntly, I fell in love with you at first sight.”
“After getting to know each other, your every move can affect my mind at any time. When I found out, I was already full of your shadow in my mind.”
Xia Nuo, “……”
In fact, when he saw the man for the first time, he also had a vague sense of familiarity in his heart, like fate. At that moment, an unspeakable shudder came from the depths of his soul.
Was it love at first sight?
Xia Nuo was flustered and his mind was in a mess, unable to think well.
The surrounding area was quiet, and the leaves stopped shaking. There were a few small animals sticking out their heads to peek at them, but now they have shrunk back.
“Then what’s your answer?” The man recognized his feelings, and didn’t want to let the boy continue to escape, “Or let me put it another way.”
“Do you like me?”
“Would you like to be with me?”
“Would you allow me to like you?”
Xia Nuo was already confused by the series of questions. When he heard the last question, he couldn’t help biting his lips, and said angrily, “What if I don’t allow it?”
The man spread his hands together, with a helpless expression on his face: “Is it not allowed?”
“But my liking doesn’t depend on my will.”
A huge thank you to Gina for directing me to another source for the original raws that I was desperate to find! I cannot explain how excited I was when I checked out my email and I found out that I had received the thing I was searching for.
