Xia Muqing had no wish to steal the green snake’s lotus.

She grew up on a mountain and she had many animal friends.

She knew that the green snake must have taken meticulous care of this meat lotus every day, and that’s why it had grown so well.

She was aware that the green snake couldn’t understand her.

Under the steady gaze of the green snake, Xia Muqing expressed her intentions to Gungun.

She wanted Gungun to speak to the green snake.

Gungun jumped out of Xia Muqing’s arms.

It raised its neck proudly and approached the green snake. Gungun’s status in the animal world gave it the right to be arrogant.

The green snake looked warily at the fox who was with the human, who wanted to steal its lotus.

The special scent detection between animals allowed the green snake to know that this black fellow in front of it was a fox.

“Squeak squeak—My master wants to exchange this meat lotus with you. Quickly hand it over.”

Gungun conveyed Xia Muqing’s intention to the green snake.

However, its tone was different from hers.

As a king, it was impossible for Gungun to discuss with a mere snake.

The green snake looked distrustful. “Ssssssss—I don’t want anything.”

Gungun glared at it. This little snake had actually dared to reject it.

Gungun was already very sullen and upset that it had become a human pet.

Now, this lowly snake actually dared to reject it.

Gungun’s temper exploded instantly.

Xia Muqing waited quietly. In order not to rouse the green snake’s wariness, she didn’t get too close.

The fox and snake seemed to be behaving amicably, when Gungun charged at the green snake, which was a hundred times larger than itself.

To Gungun, the snake was considered small. In reality, the snake was more than ten meters long and its waist was as thick as a water bucket.

Xia Muqing had no idea why the two beasts would clash, but she was a little worried if Gungun could handle the green snake.

The green snake had sensed long ago that this fox was dangerous.

If not, it would have swallowed that human long ago.

Now that it saw Gungun charging at it, it was fully focused.

Xia Muqing also walked over.

However, before she could reach them, everything happened in an instant.

The green snake was already lying on the ground.

Its heavy body kicked up a cloud of dust which slowly dispersed.

Xia Muqing watched as Gungun sat arrogantly on the green snake’s head as it licked its paws.

Licking its paws was something Gungun would only do in a comfortable situation.

Xia Muqing thought quietly with a darkened expression. So Gungun felt comfortable sitting on a snake’s head?

She was nevertheless rather shocked by Gungun’s strength.

This was the first time it had displayed other abilities besides speed.

What was even more shocking was, of course, the green snake under Gungun’s body.

The snake was already on guard, thinking that there would be a vicious battle.

In the end, it didn’t even see the fox’s movements clearly before the battle ended.

Seeing that the green snake was getting more depressed, Xia Muqing quickly got Gungun to move away.

Gungun slid down the green snake’s nose.

She had used its head as a slide.

It walked to Xia Muqing and climbed onto her shoulder.

Xia Muqing was speechless again.

The green snake seemed to be shrouded in a cloud of darkness. It seemed to be a ruler in its territory.

Today, it was humiliated by a human and a beast.

It took a look at the lotus that had been carefully nurtured for a century.

Its mood turned even more grim.

Xia Muqing couldn’t bear to see it like this. She always felt some pity for little animals.

Although the snake wasn’t small, it was still an animal.

“Green Snake, I just want to make a deal with you. I don’t want to make things difficult for you. If you need anything, just say it. If not, we’ll leave.”

Xia Muqing patted Gungun’s body.

Gungun didn’t move and translated lazily for Xia Muqing.

Squeak squeak squeak—

The green snake moved its head and stared at Xia Muqing with its fist-sized eyes.

It was testing the authenticity of her words.

Ssss—

When Gungun heard that, it was enraged again.

It immediately wanted to give it another beating.
