Lin Hang might not believe what I say.
But Yu Longting's words are like a final verdict.
Lin Hang didn't want to believe but had to, "Definitely a mutation, especially in terms of intelligence. This Green Python obviously doesn't seem too bright."
If we were to let Yu Rongling out now, it would draw too much attention.
So we had to bring Yu Rongling back to the Waterside Pavilion first.
Once we reached the Waterside Pavilion, my mother's territory, Follow current novᴇls on novel✦fire.net
I found some scissors and cut open the net.
I removed the Spirit Talismans from Yu Rongling one by one, and he immediately turned into a human, bursting into tears and jumping into his brother's arms, "Brother, I was so scared. They bullied me, threw soybeans at me, stuck Spirit Talismans on me, and locked me in a net."
Yu Rongling, completely devoid of composure, cried with snot and tears, which he wiped all over Yu Longting's luxurious Cloud Brocade clothes.
Yu Longting stood there carefree, letting Yu Rongling make a scene.
This way he pampered his younger brother; it indeed showed his demeanor as an elder brother.
"Wow, Snake Brother turns into such a handsome human," Tangtang said, not put off by Yu Rongling's tearful behavior, but instead was excited to find him handsome.
When Yu Rongling heard the girl's sweet and soft voice, he stopped crying mid-way, his tearful eyes looking hazily back at Xintang, "You have good taste. Finally, someone thinks the young master is handsome. Little sister, are you also from the Snake Tribe?"
"I, too, am a snake with no legs." Tangtang had come to terms with her own appearance, smiling sweetly like a bunny. Her soft little hands gently probed the bruises on Yu Rongling's face caused by the soybeans, "It really hurts when a snake is hit with soybeans. Tangtang will blow on your boo-boo to make it better."
She leaned in and gently blew on Yu Rongling's wounds.
Yu Rongling looked as if he had been struck by some magical Art, his back stiffening, frozen like a statue while Xintang gently blew on his hurt areas.
His sharp snake-eyes shrank slightly, and for some reason, they began to soften.
"Snake Brother, you have to be strong. Even though you are useless now, in the future, you're going to be a top-notch expert," Lin Xintang said earnestly.
"Useless…" Yu Rongling's face darkened as he pointed at himself, "Am I useless now?"
Lin Hang nodded in agreement, "Obviously, you are."
"Who do you think you are, a little Taoist? Daring to call Snake Lord useless!" Yu Rongling lost his temper, and out of his sleeves, two snakes flew at Lin Hang in an attack, "I'm going to thrash you!"
Unconcerned about the attack, Lin Hang slowly pulled out his small Peach Wood Sword and casually waved it a couple of times, killing the two snakes, "Hey, I'm such a weak Exorcist, yet I can defeat you with just a flick of my finger. Aren't you useless?"
Yu Rongling's morale shattered as he sulked off to a corner to draw circles, "Even a little Taoist from the Lin Family can bully me now, whine whine whine."
Then, my mom and Zhang Che returned to the Waterside Pavilion.
Looks like they had been out for a walk and just got back.
Zhang Che, on high alert, quickly conjured Spirit Talismans, "There's Demon Qi."
"Uncle Zhang, he's one of us." I hurriedly stepped in to block him.
Zhang Che saw me stepping forward and promptly retracted the talismans, "Miss Wan, you're being too reckless. If I hadn't taken it back, you would have been hurt."
"My fault, my fault, I was too impulsive…" I quickly apologized, though in my heart, I didn't agree.
If I hadn't stepped forward to block it, Yu Rongling, who had just sustained a serious injury,
would have been hit again and been crippled for sure.
My mom recognized Yu Rongling, and she was so shocked she stammered, "Wanwan, isn't that… the Snake Lord's brother? How could he… appear in the Lin Family? Apart from Snake Lord himself, a powerful entity, normally members of the demon clans would certainly meet their doom should they intrude upon the Lin Family."
"I'm not very clear on the details myself, maybe a foolish snake has foolish luck? So… by luck, he survived?" The corners of my mouth twitched. If it weren't for Lin Hang's Eight Trigrams, Yu Rongling's fate would have almost certainly been a matter of life and death!
His luck really was quite good…
Yu Longting gestured with his fingers towards the corner, and Yu Rongling scurried over with quick, tiny steps to his brother's side. Yu Longting asked coldly, "What are you here for?"
