Venerated Venomous Consort

Shen Nianmo’s stomach started grumbling, and his hunger had driven him to slice the python open. The outer skin of the python was black, but its flesh was milky white, like high-quality cheese. Little Nianmo sliced the tastiest sections of the python and started grilling it with a gentle fire.

This time, no one was there to steal his food away from him. The meat was very fresh and delicious, like nothing he had tasted before. He filled his stomach happily, and soon, his physical strength had been completely recovered. With a blithe spirit, he continued his journey forward.

After he left, Gu Xijiu finally revealed herself. She bent down to check the leftovers of the python and shook her head in disapproval. She then turned and looked at the traces of Little Nianmo.

The jade on her waist finally reacted with an iridescent sheen. It was pretty to look at. The messenger of heavenly law in her head once told her that the jade would react in seven-colored ray once it met its true master. Apparently, Little Nianmo had the possibilities of being the true master of heavenly law.

“You have to force him to his greatest potential!” The genderless voice started to emerge again.

Gu Xijiu hesitated. She had to challenge him even more. She closed her eyes and performed a spell in the air. Soon, there was a loud, buzzing sound. A bunch of black creatures rushed into the woods. Shen Nianmo had not even had his proper rest. He certainly did not expect that he would have to fight another bunch of eerie bats in such quick succession.

These bats had a rather peculiar appearance with two rows of long, sharp teeth that resembled a saw. Little Nianmo saw with his own eyes how instantly these bats turned a big, green rock into fine powder with their sharp teeth. Furthermore, there was not only one monster but a bunch of them.

The bats surrounded Little Nianmo in a compact array. He felt intimidated by their presence, as though he was guilty of damaging their nest. There were too many bats, attacking him from all directions. One of the bats found a weakness in Little Nianmo’s defense and seized the chance to attack his chest.

The bite corroded his clothes like strong acid. The instant erosion shocked Little Nianmo. He quickly tore his off the bitten piece and threw it away. He was left with only a belly band and a pair of underwear, revealing his fair and white little arms.

He began to realize that he could not handle too many bats at the same time. Soon, his body was scratched with many injuries. Blood started to ooze from the wounds on his arms while his underwear was completely dirtied and slit into strips. It could hardly cover his private part anymore.

Luckily, the bats’ sharp wings, not their corrosive bites, slit his underwear. Otherwise, he would have to take off his underwear in order to prevent his skin from eroding.

Gu Xijiu sat casually on a huge branch and watched the battle from above. She felt that she had already done her best by driving him to his extreme.

She gently knocked the piece of jade on her waist that was still shimmering in faint sheen. “Honestly, I think that you have recognized the wrong master. How could your master still be a child?”

She sighed as she turned to look at the struggling child. She decided to stop, as she did not intend to harm him at all. Before she managed to recall the bats, she saw a rising golden ray, coming steadily from Little Nianmo’s body. She could also see a seven-colored ray shimmering faintly in the background as well. The jade on her waist started to correspond with the seven-colored ray as well, striking powerful echoes across the distance.

Even though the golden ray was only faintly visible, Gu Xijiu could still see it clearly.
