Chapter 2104 - 1672: The Feeling of Being Cared For Is Really Nice!

Companionship really is the best way to alleviate emotions.

With Zhou Mu’s silent company and the audible comfort from Shi Wujue and others, Gu Changsheng’s negative emotions indeed improved significantly. That sense of unknown bewilderment gradually dissipated!

Infinitely confident and infinitely arrogant, Gu Changsheng was once again fully revived!

"Yes, with you all, what am I afraid of? In this world, no one can defeat me, not even myself!" Clenching his fist, Gu Changsheng said resolutely.

Seeing this, everyone couldn’t help but reveal a smile on their faces.

They were still used to seeing Gu Changsheng like this.

Snake Piaopiao indeed didn’t let Gu Changsheng down. Their group didn’t wait long at the entrance of the Divine Weapon Forging Tower before Snake Piaopiao sashayed over, swaying her snake tail in a charming manner...

But this time, Snake Piaopiao’s movements were rather slow. She held her lower back with her hand, looking as if she was blissfully pregnant.

Gu Changsheng saw this and immediately stepped forward, grabbing Snake Piaopiao’s hand with a worried expression, "Snake Spirit Disease, what’s wrong with you? Are you injured?"

Although "those who are not my kind, their hearts must be different," Gu Changsheng didn’t have much ill feeling towards Snake Piaopiao, the snake spirit obsessed with beauty. Seeing her discomfort, Gu Changsheng instinctively wanted to show some concern.

Especially seeing Snake Piaopiao going from moving like the wind to walking with such a staggering gait made Gu Changsheng suddenly realize that he only cared about sending Snake Piaopiao to bring back the people outside. He had forgotten that those outside weren’t kind individuals, and Jin Luoyi had three masters accompanying him!

In terms of ability, in a one-on-one fight, Snake Piaopiao naturally wouldn’t be taken advantage of by anyone. However, there were a hundred or so people out there, and two fists are hard to fight off four hands. If Snake Piaopiao was injured, it would be understandable!

Hearing Gu Changsheng’s words, Snake Piaopiao’s hand paused slightly as she supported her slender waist. She raised a smiling yet bewildered face to look at Gu Changsheng. After a while, she hesitantly said, "Are you concerned about me, the snake?"

She was a snake spirit, a snake spirit who had been guarding the entrance of the Divine Weapon Forging Tower for endless ages. She had no experience interacting with humans, nor had she ever felt what it was like to be cared for...

Gu Changsheng’s sudden concern made Snake Piaopiao feel unfamiliar. Yet, amidst the unfamiliarity, there was a sense of warmth spreading in her heart...

"I asked you to bring those people back. They were numerous. Are you hurt? Come here, let me check!" Concern for a snake? Even if it was genuine concern, Gu Changsheng wouldn’t say it outright. He just held Snake Piaopiao’s hand, instinctively placing two fingers on her wrist...

The touch was icy, like cold water...

As expected, snakes are the epitome of cold-blooded creatures...

The skin, cold as water, the weak pulse. Even though Snake Piaopiao was a snake spirit, she still retained her snake tail and snake characteristics...

Snake Piaopiao stared blankly as Gu Changsheng failed to feel her pulse and then started inspecting her up and down. Her enchanting, charming face was full of confusion...

Until Gu Changsheng finished the inspection, looking at Snake Piaopiao dazed like a piece of wood, Gu Changsheng’s bright face showed even more doubt, "Snake Spirit Disease, I can’t feel your pulse. But I checked your body, and there are no external injuries. What’s wrong with you? Where exactly do you feel unwell?"

Gu Changsheng knew that the body of a snake spirit couldn’t be examined using human standards, so after a fruitless inspection, she could only ask Snake Piaopiao to see if she could help her, to relieve her discomfort...

"I, this snake... This snake is just overstuffed..." Snake Piaopiao replied blankly to Gu Changsheng, her eyes unfocused under Gu Changsheng’s questioning.

"What?" Gu Changsheng said, suddenly a bit dumbfounded by her words.

"Gu Changsheng, they call you Gu Changsheng, so your name is Gu Changsheng, right?" Snake Piaopiao looked at Gu Changsheng with her large crimson eyes, full of scrutiny.

"Yes!" Gu Changsheng was still immersed in the fact that Snake Piaopiao was just overstuffed, not quite returning to her senses, and instinctively answered.

"Gu Changsheng, it feels nice to be cared for by someone! Thank you for letting me, the snake, experience this feeling for the first time! You’re so good to me, and I’ll be good to you too!" Snake Piaopiao said, looking at Gu Changsheng, her sharp little face gradually forming a smile, that smile alluring and fragrant, making Gu Changsheng feel dizzy.

"Uh..." Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng’s mouth twitched a bit, unable to hold back despite several attempts, raising her hand habitually to give Snake Spirit Disease a pat on the head, saying angrily, "You idle snake, scaring people for nothing! And with such exaggerated emotions, are all your Snake Clan this sentimental and easy to deceive? That’s enough!"

What did she do?

What exactly did she do to make this Snake Spirit Disease act like she was ready to give her life?

She sent Snake Piaopiao to capture those people outside. If Snake Piaopiao was injured, it would also be her responsibility, so showing some concern is a normal thing, isn’t it?

How did she end up making Snake Piaopiao so moved like this?

Making herself feel quite embarrassed!

"I don’t care, anyway, you’re good to me, the snake, I can feel it, so I’ll be good to you too!" Snake Piaopiao held her small head, nodding firmly, as if she had made a big decision.

Although she has been guarding at the gate of the Divine Weapon Forging Tower for countless years, her thoughts still linger on the simple times before she transformed from an ordinary little snake into a Snake Spirit...

She loves beauty, she eats when she’s hungry, it’s all in her nature; honestly, she’s not bad!

"You’re really too much! A Snake Spirit as naive and gullible as you wouldn’t survive more than three Chapters in a novel!" Gu Changsheng rolled her eyes dramatically, couldn’t help but elbow Snake Piaopiao playfully, and said with a slightly awkward expression, "You didn’t seriously eat them all, did you? Did you digest everyone?"

"Didn’t you tell this snake to eat them?" Snake Piaopiao looked up.

"Ugh, didn’t I warn you to control your mouth and not actually eat them? Just pretend to swallow them and bring them back in your belly, right? You ate them, now who’s going to provide the blood sacrifice? How are we supposed to open the door to the Divine Weapon Forging Tower?" Gu Changsheng’s eyes widened in shock at the reply.

Heavens, this Snake Spirit Disease, did she really eat all those people outside?

If so, wouldn’t it take her forever to find that many people to donate blood for opening the Divine Weapon Forging Tower?

"No, no! This snake is such an obedient Snake Spirit, how could I really eat them and delay the important task?" Seeing Gu Changsheng panic, Snake Piaopiao quickly put away her teasing manner and, with a charming little smile, said, "I didn’t really eat them; they’re all stuffed in my belly just like you said, a good hundred and eighty people or so, it’s made this snake almost unable to move..."

"..." Gu Changsheng’s mouth twitched hard at her words, raising her hand as if intending to hit Snake Piaopiao again, but when she saw that amusing face of hers, Gu Changsheng found herself unable to do it.

Admittedly, Snake Spirit Disease did have that sharp-featured face, but she was indeed quite pretty!

Gu Changsheng, a lover of beauty to the extreme, couldn’t quite bring herself to hit a beauty!

"Heh heh..." Seeing Gu Changsheng not following through with the slap, Snake Piaopiao chuckled lowly.

"What are you giggling at? Hurry up and spit them out, extract their blood, and have them open the door for me!" Gu Changsheng gave Snake Piaopiao an indignant eye roll.

"Okay! You all clear out a little space!" Snake Piaopiao replied immediately without further ado.

Gu Changsheng immediately led her people to move aside.

Then, right after Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu, Shi Wujue and others personally witnessed the sensation of being swallowed and spat out by Snake Piaopiao...

That sensation, how to describe it, was extraordinarily weird!

There was a certain schadenfreude pleasure, but thinking about being spat out like that themselves, they felt inexplicably strange all over...

"Monster... monster... there’s a monster..."

"Help! There’s a monster!"

"..."

After Gu Changsheng passed through the Misty Prohibition, it started disintegrating continuously, and Jin Luoyi and others waited a long time for the mist to fully dissipate. However, they never expected that the moment they stepped into the dissipated mist, they would come face to face with a pair of blood-red eyes...

And then, they couldn’t remember anything else...

Because they distinctly felt themselves being swallowed whole by a gigantic creature!

Even though the creature hadn’t actually eaten them, that feeling of being inside a monster’s belly gave them a real taste of what despair means!

Now, seeing daylight again, they were all scared out of their wits, each one looking a little soul-scattered!

"Help! Help! Where is this? Can someone save us?"

"I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die, help! Help!"

"..."

In an instant, the previously silent and solemn grounds of the Divine Weapon Forging Tower were filled with panic, with screaming and shouting filling the air!

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but take a step back, glancing at all her people, feeling deeply empathetic...

It’s often said that comparison brings balance. Compared to these people, Gu Changsheng suddenly felt that when she emerged from Snake Piaopiao’s belly, she was exceedingly calm and composed, full of grace...

At the very least, at the very least, she didn’t lose her composure like this, right?
