"Is this the place where the snake dwells?" Ruan Jiaojiao pointed at the cave and asked Changchong beside her in a soft voice.
Changchong nodded its head, glanced at Xiu Xi, and twisted its body, seeming to hesitate.
It wasn’t sure if the "demon" that had taken over Little Cutie could protect her, as it was apprehensive about its kind in the cave; its original intention was merely to lead them here.
But now, it hesitated.
If this "demon" died, did it mean that Little Cutie would belong to it?
"Scram!" As if he had seen through the thoughts in Changchong’s mind, Xiu Xi gave it a fierce look.
Frightened to its core, Changchong dared not think any further and immediately slithered away, tail twisting behind it.
"Big Brother Xi, can you understand their language?" Ruan Jiaojiao asked.
Xiu Xi paused for a moment, looked at her, and fell silent for a while.
Just when Ruan Jiaojiao thought this might be another secret he wouldn’t answer, she saw him nod: "I do." He was the King of All Beasts, and there was no beast language he couldn’t understand, even now while he was merely residing in this body.
There were some things, if Ruan Jiaojiao didn’t ask, he would never bring up, but once she did, he would never hide anything from her, not now, not ever.
These left Ruan Jiaojiao silent.
One, for his honesty.
Two, because of shock.
In her past life, she was a cat, but she couldn’t understand any beast language, including the cats of this world; she simply couldn’t communicate with them, which sometimes made her doubt whether she had truly been a cat in her past life?
And why could Xiu Xi understand beast language?
Was it a golden finger bestowed upon him by the heavens?
Ruan Jiaojiao had a bellyful of questions and even wanted to ask bluntly, are you reborn!
But she didn’t dare to ask.
She really didn’t dare.
If she were the original Ruan Jiaojiao, it would be fine, but she wasn’t; she was just a wandering spirit who, for some unknown reason, had come into this body; she and he were different.
In those memories she received—
Apart from the Ruan Family, no one loved the original person.
Whether it was the male lead or the male supporting character, they all wished to kill the original person, and even after her death, they wanted to annihilate her entire family; this was far beyond ordinary hatred.
However... Ruan Jiaojiao distinctly remembered that last time, Xiu Xun didn’t seem to dislike her; on the contrary, she felt that he had a good impression of her. She didn’t think it was her misperception; Xiu Xun was really favorable toward her, spoke gently, and even stroked her head. Even the look in his eyes was very kind.
She had long been able to distinguish between likes and dislikes, such as the Ruan Family looking at her with forever tender and doting eyes, while Liao Zhaoji and Wa Yiting, even with their disguise, couldn’t hide the dislike and disgust in their eyes.
And as for the little villain... she was absolutely certain that he truly liked her a lot, and treated her better than anyone else did.
If he were reborn, he probably wouldn’t act ; he would have immediately killed her, right? Then go after the female lead, Wa Yiting.
All of this was like a puzzle, leaving Ruan Jiaojiao feeling restless over these riddles she simply couldn’t unravel!
"Hiss hiss..." the sound of snakes sliding.
Ruan Jiaojiao’s heart tightened, she immediately collected her wandering thoughts, and lifted her head to look ahead, indeed seeing several deeply colored snakes crawling out of the cave, stopping their slithering upon seeing them.
Her breathing became so light out of nervousness that she moved it only very subtly, still looking at Xiu Xi, who seemed utterly unbothered by the poisonous snakes behind him.
