I was in a panic, waiting for the malevolent qi to cover my entire body.
It wasn't just the itching from the exploding scales; it was very likely I'd end up like that fish in the pond.
Transforming into a blood mist, leaving behind nothing but bones.
Yu Rongling rubbed the ground too hard, erasing the raised scales completely, "Don't worry about self-harm, hurry up and find pomelo leaves."
"Right, right, I think there's one in the backyard... Ah!" I was about to mention that there seemed to be a pomelo tree in the courtyard, which the snakes of Snake Sect didn't like, but it might've been planted for me by Yu Longting.
Oh my god, the scene before my eyes was hair-raisingly terrifying.
In the pouring rain, the snakes with exploding scales had all turned into a mist of blood.
On the ground, seven chillingly white snake skeletons were clearly visible.
The sight petrified Yu Rongling; she didn't dare to move, "Sister-in-law, I...I feel something terrible has happened."
Inside the snake sect, which was as secure as a fortress, many snakes had been infected with malevolent qi.
Of course, something terrible had happened, and it was likely a very thorny issue.
"Stay calm, you're just in the early stages. I'm sending a WeChat message to your brother, he'll definitely have a solution," I said hurriedly as I took out my phone and messaged Yu Longting.
Telling him about Yu Rongling's condition and the state of the other snakes here.
Yu Longting immediately called back, "Wife, are you alright?"
"I don't have scales, so exploding scales probably won't affect me much." Hearing Yu Longting's first concern was for me warmed my heart.
Yu Longting instructed me, "Still, be careful. I'm on my way. Just stay with Rongling for a bit." Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on novel•fire.net
"Your brother is on his way, keep calm... Rongling!! Rongling!!" As soon as I hung up the phone, having reassured Yu Rongling momentarily,
he flipped over on his belly and fell to the ground, stiff as a board.
Just like the fish in the pond that had died belly up.
Scared the living daylights out of me.
Crouching beside him to check, I found his condition was worse than those of the snakes with exploding scales.
The other snakes hadn't deliberately rubbed off their scales, and the malevolent qi only covered the surface.
This dumbass had scrubbed off all the scales that protected his body, allowing the malevolent qi to penetrate deeply into his flesh.
What to do with this dumbass who had already transformed into a Snake Dragon!
Not as steady as the average small snake...
"Shenshen, please help me watch over your young master, I'll go to the backyard for some pomelo leaves." Ever since I chased after the Demon spawn, I had completely mastered the Golden Lotus Step, so I left Xiao Shenshen in charge.
With one step, I reached the backyard in just a few strides to pick pomelo leaves.
The lush pomelo tree was tall, but it had low-hanging leaves.
The scent was refreshing and very pleasant to smell.
I grabbed a whole branch of leaves and couldn't help but touch my belly.
I wondered if Dumpling would be sensitive to this smell.
After sensing for a while, Dumpling smacked his lips and slept sweetly.
It seemed as though he felt me peeping on him and murmured softly, "Mommy~"
"Good~" I took an umbrella, holding the pomelo leaves, and hurried back.
The whole trip took just two minutes.
Upon returning to the gazebo, I saw Xiao Shenshen kneeling and gently touching the pale white flesh of Yu Rongling's body where the scales had fallen off, "Young master, hang in there, Shenshen will give you a rub."
"Such a beautiful... Little Fairy..." Yu Rongling opened his Snake Eyes and, in a dazed state, raised his snakehead to nuzzle against Shenshen.
Xiao Shenshen's cheeks were flushed with red, "You've mistaken me for someone else, and later you'll say I wasted your feelings. Are you feeling better now?"
"It still hurts a bit, rub it a few more times, hiss~ Your little hand feels so comforting." Yu Rongling, gently touched by Shenshen's white-glowing hand, gradually changed back to Human Form.
Lazily lying on the ground, he lifted his shirt to reveal his muscular and well-defined abdomen, the places where the scales had come off became flesh-pink wounds, "It's both painful and itchy~ Touch around the wound, drive out the malevolent qi thoroughly, to prevent a relapse."
