Xia Nuo explained earnestly: “You didn’t realise your mistake at all, and you only got my ‘forgiveness’ to apologise because you apologised, so I can’t forgive you.”

“……”

The white dumpling visibly weakened, looking at him with moist eyes, Xia Nuo couldn’t help pinching its chubby body, and said in a very principled way: “It’s useless to be cute and pitiful.”

But even though he said that, he couldn’t help pinching it a few more times because it felt so good.

In fact, Xia Nuo also thought about it just now. Since a man’s identity is a monster, he cannot be forced to meet human standards. Perhaps in his heart, hiding his identity is not a very important thing.

However, he changed his mind again. When the man was in the forest, he clearly knew the whereabouts of his teammates. Not only didn’t he tell him, but also coaxed him to seek for his own incarnation, using this as a bargaining chip to exchange with him-this kind of behaviour is really bad.

Thinking of this, he didn’t want to forgive him so easily.

The dumpling in his arms fell silent after he finished saying that, and remained motionless as if he had been hit by something. Xia Nuo couldn’t help feeling a little worried, but if he could see the expression on the white dumpling’s face, he would definitely not think so.

The man was burying his face in his arms, his eyes were heavy, and he looked thoughtful, as if he had thought of some brilliant idea, and showed a subtle smile.

……

Three days passed quickly, and the day agreed with Lei Yin arrived.

In the evening, Ah Luo hurried here and said apologetically, “Sorry, I’m late.”

He explained: “There were some problems during the research process. Uncle has tried his best to remedy it, and it took a lot of time. Because he was too tired, he couldn’t come here in person, so I sent the medicine over.”

“However, the specific efficacy of the medicine will not be known until it is tested.”

He took out a crystal vial that was no more than one finger long. The body of the bottle was slightly tilted, and the dark green liquid inside was also flowing slowly.

Xia Nuo didn’t know much about pharmacy, so he asked, “Is the dose of this medicine a bit low?”

Ah Luo smiled at him: “The liquid medicine is now in a concentrated state, and it needs to be mixed with water. The ratio of medicine to water is one to five.”

He wanted to hand the crystal bottle to Xia Nuo, but the man reached out and took it ahead of time.

The man uncorked the cork, opened the bottle, put the mouth of the bottle under his nose and sniffed gently, after smelling a familiar smell, he raised the corners of his lips: “Your uncle is really ‘sincere’.”

Ah Luo didn’t know why, so he accepted the compliment: “Thank you, I will convey it on my behalf.”

He originally wanted to leave immediately, but was persuaded by the village chief to stay.

“It’s getting so late, why don’t you stay for one night before going back, anyway, there are a lot of vacant rooms here.” The village chief said with a smile.

Ah Luo subconsciously wanted to refuse, and Lei Yin was still at home waiting for him to report the effect of the medicine, but he glanced at Xia Nuo who was standing aside, and he changed his mind by accident.

“Okay.” He agreed.

The man put away the crystal bottle and explained to Xia Nuo: “This potion is a bit dangerous, so keep it with me.”

Xia Nuo thought for a moment, then nodded.

With the man’s identity, it is indeed much safer for the medicine to be kept by him.

And after experiencing the previous incident, the man probably won’t make any small moves again.

In a sense, his guess was not wrong. The man really wouldn’t do anything to the potion. He just needs to wait patiently. Someone will lose his temper before him.

When arranging Ah Luo’s room, there was a little episode.

When the village chief politely asked him what he wanted for the room, the young man asked in a daze, “Can I live near Chang An?”

In fact, Ah Luo doesn’t have any attractive thoughts about Chang An, he just feels that staying with Xia Nuo will be particularly comfortable, so he instinctively has a good impression of him.

However, the way he speaks is too easy to be misunderstood.

Naturally, the village chief also misunderstood. He smiled awkwardly and subconsciously looked at the man’s face.

Will this young man survive tonight? He couldn’t help feeling a little worried.

The man chuckled, and answered instead of the village head: “No.”

He did not fly into a rage as the village chief imagined, but said in a very ambiguous and daydreaming tone: “Because——I live with Chang An, and you will disturb us when you come over.”

“???”

His statement is obviously more likely to be misunderstood. Xia Nuo looked at him in surprise, and wanted to remind him: since when did we live together? And, have you forgotten that I haven’t forgiven you yet?

The eyes of the two briefly met in mid-air, Xia Nuo saw the man make a mouth shape: Ke Da’er.

He understood instantly, and couldn’t help being silent for a moment until Ah Luo asked him for confirmation: “Really? Do you live together?”

Xia Nuo replied with difficulty: “…Really.”

After serious consideration, he still gave an affirmative answer.

Until he left, Ah Luo kept looking at the man with envious eyes. The man was bathed in such eyes, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more obvious.

The two walked towards Xia Nuo’s room, and when they reached their destination, standing in front of the door, Xia Nuo stretched out his hands towards the man.

The man’s reaction speed was very fast, and after a few seconds, his figure disappeared in place, and a chubby ball appeared in his place, and with force, he jumped into Xia Nuo’s arms.

He rolled along the trend, rubbed against the boy’s chest, found a comfortable position and remained motionless.

Yes, that’s what the man said at the time “Ke Da’er”.

――He exchanged the price of becoming a dumpling for the right to sleep in the same room with the boy.

It is no exaggeration to say that he felt that he had made a lot of money.

Xia Nuo rubbed the soft dumpling in his arms and felt that this deal was a very good deal.

You know, he has no resistance to cute things.

Xia Nuo was lying on the bed, he had put the dumpling on the pillow, but slowly and quietly rubbed it into his arms, Xia Nuo touched the long hair of the dumpling as soon as he stretched out his hand.

Originally, he still had insomnia, but after stroking the white dumpling’s body, he fell asleep unknowingly.

In the middle of the night, the crow’s cry woke him from sleep.

Xia Nuo suddenly sat up, not knowing what happened for a while, and couldn’t help feeling a little flustered.

However, he saw the dumpling jump up lightly, with a calm expression on his face, under the influence of it, Xia Nuo also calmed down.

“What happened?” Xia Nuo asked.

The crow issued a danger alarm, indicating that danger was approaching, and he had an intuition that the man must know the answer.

Of course, the man knew the answer, he opened his mouth and answered his question: “Chirp, chirp.”

Xia Nuo, “……”

He doesn’t understand Ke Da’er at all!

But soon, he didn’t need to ask the man anymore, because he had already seen the culprit that caused the crow to scream.

——Huge pythons poked their heads out of the window, their scarlet eyes staring at them maliciously.

“White pythons?” Xia Nuo subconsciously blurted out.

No, no, it should be the sand-spotted python.

They are now surrounded by this group of giant pythons.

The man looked at them coldly, but didn’t make any substantive moves, until Xia Nuo asked, full of doubts, “Why did they appear here?”

Xia Nuo didn’t know why this group of pythons appeared so suddenly, and he didn’t know the situation of his other teammates either.

Did the pythons go after them too?

He couldn’t help feeling a little worried when he thought of Kui Ke, whose leg injury hadn’t fully healed, and Ka’er, who had just woken up and had trouble moving.

Moreover, their appearance also contradicted the clues he had obtained before.

He clearly deduced from the information he got that the python disaster might not be real. Whether it is the white python mentioned by Lei Yin, or the magical creation that Na Duo Sha said, it is unlikely to be the culprit that caused the python disaster.

But now, the appearance of this group of sand-spotted pythons completely overturned his guess.

“Will the potion work for them?” Xia Nuo forced himself to calm down and asked the dumpling beside him.

He didn’t report any hope at first, after all, it was a potion specially used to kill the spotted white python, and it might not have any effect on the sand-spotted python.

Unsurprisingly, the dumpling shook his head.

What he didn’t tell the young man was that no matter what kind of python he was facing, the potion would not work, because it was not developed to deal with pythons.

“Then what should we do now?” Xia Nuo pursed his lips tightly, and could not help but grasp the staff tightly.

The pythons outside the window were still eyeing them, and as a war scum, he was no match for them at all.

At this time, the dumpling lightly rubbed his head against the back of his hand. The blunt, innocuous-looking horns on its head scraped against the skin, creating a wonderful tactile sensation.

The eyes of one person and one group met, Xia Nuo was stunned for a moment, and understood his meaning: “You mean, you have a way, right?”

He suddenly remembered that one of the identities of a man is the sacred tree, and it probably doesn’t take much effort to deal with these pythons.

However, despite expressing this, the man has no intention of changing back.

“……”

Xia Nuo looked at him, his eyes widened in disbelief.

He suddenly understood what the man meant. According to the model during the ‘Cold War’ between the two, he is asking for ‘equal exchange’.

The man waited leisurely for the boy to ask him for help. The python outside the window hissed and spit out snake letters as if urging the boy to make a decision as soon as possible.

“What do you want?” Xia Nuo lowered his eyebrows, his long eyelashes trembling uneasily.

“It’s very simple.” The man got a satisfactory result and returned to his original appearance. His tall figure was approaching oppressively, but the words that came out of his mouth were soft prayers that were diametrically opposed to his actions.

—— “Forgive me for my previous mistakes, please?”
