Chapter 2448: A Strong Fishy Scent

The village was extremely quiet at night and as soon as it got dark, not a single light could be seen.

In this village, Ning Shu was the only one who would light an oil lamp. Everyone else went to bed as soon as it was dark.

Ning Shu wasnt used to going to bed at five or six oclock. She also had things to do at night.

She would handle herbal medicines and compile prescriptions for various illnesses.

In the dead of night, the cow in the cow pen started mooing.

The cow was afraid and was asking for help. Dont ask Ning Shu how she knew, it was because she had acquired the ability to communicate with animals.

Ning Shu carried the oil lamp to the cow pen. Before she had even entered, Ning Shu could smell a strong fishy scent.

The cow was cowering in one corner. Its limbs were trembling and it was unable to stand up. Across from it was a snake.

The snake and the night blended into one. If it wasnt for Ning Shus excellent eyesight, she wouldnt have been able to see it.

However, as long as there wasnt a problem with your nose, you would still be able to smell it.

The snake hissed as it flicked out its tongue and stared closely at Ning Shu.

Ning Shu said calmly, Go quickly, or else, dont blame me for being rude. The people from White Cloud Temple were just here looking for you.

To be able to cultivate such a huge form, it would have had to soak up a lot of energy from the sun and moon.

Vile two-legged monster, The black snake snarled at Ning Shu. Its head tilted back and it readied itself to attack.

Although the black snake was just hissing, Ning Shu understood what it was saying.

I dont mean any harm to you. But if you attack me, youll have to face the consequences. Ning Shu released her spiritual energy in the form of a dragon.

The black snake stared at the dragon with some confusion and said, How is it a dragon? Are you a dragon?

No.

Hurry up and go back to the mountains, Ning Shu said. It wasnt easy for monsters to cultivate spiritual energy from the mountains.

A bunch of two-legged monsters is chasing me, the black snake said to Ning Shu.

Why?

They definitely want my snake pearl. They said it was for alchemy.

The black snake looked at Ning Shu warily. Do you also want my pearl?

Ning Shu rolled her eyes. Why would she want that? She guessed that it was nothing more than a finger-sized beast core.

All right, go on. Ning Shu waved her hand. This cow is to feed my daughter. If you touch it, Ill cut your stomach open.

The black snake didnt speak.

It slowly slithered away and disappeared into the night.

Ning Shu placated the cow with a few words and returned home with the oil lamp.

Ning Shu closed the door and was about to look at Zhenzhen who was in bed when she saw the huge black snake beside the bed. It supported itself as it raised its head and looked at the sleeping Zhenzhen who was unaware of anything.

Ning Shus heart filled with rage. This thing actually dared to covet her daughter!?

Ning Shus energy sank into her dantian and she stomped the snakes head with her foot. The snakes head smashed into the ground.

Ning Shu hugged Zhenzhen and stared at the confused and disoriented snake.

I let you go, but you repay me by trying to eat my daughter? Ning Shu said coldly.

No, I just think shes cute.

Ning Shu: Ha. ha. ha

Moonlight streamed into the room and Ning Shu saw that the snake had four b.u.mps on its abdomen and a bulging b.u.mp on its forehead.

Was the snake about to turn into a flood dragon? Horns would grow on its head and claws would grow from its abdomen.

The snake would turn into a flood dragon, and the flood dragon would turn into a dragon.
