Chapter 169 Snake Slough
Shen Tang leaned against the stone wall outside the cave and waited and waited, and slowly fell asleep.

When the sky is dark.

The white snake swam out of the cave.

His gaze fell on the female sleeping on the ground, and he frowned almost imperceptibly.

It was late at night and the dew was heavy. The weeds and stones on the ground were very damp. If you slept here for a night, you would definitely catch a cold the next day.

The thick, long snake tail coiled around Shen Tang's body, pulling her into its embrace.

Shen Tang was a light sleeper, and she woke up the moment the snake's tail wrapped around her thighs and waist.

She had barely opened her eyes when she was confronted with a huge snake head. Before she could even fully process what was happening, she screamed.

A hint of resentment flickered in the white snake's vertical pupils. It flicked its tongue and licked her forehead. Could it be that it really had a fever and damaged its brain?

Shen Tang belatedly realized it was Xue Yinzhou, and her tense body suddenly relaxed. She said gently, "You've finished shedding your skin, huh?"

"Hmm," the white snake uttered in human language.

The next second, he transformed into human form, with long silver hair falling to his waist, a handsome and exquisite appearance, broad shoulders, a narrow waist, long legs, eight-pack abs, and an excellent physique, completely naked.

I just woke up and this is so exciting! The White Snake Lady transforms into a naked handsome man.

Shen Tang held her breath, her pretty face turning red as she watched, and subconsciously glanced down at it.

Wait, something doesn't seem right?
The quantity is not quite right...

Shen Tang's cat-like eyes widened, thinking that she was still not fully awake and was seeing things.

Just as she was about to take a closer look, a flash of white light appeared, and Xue Yinzhou quickly dressed, covering her private parts.

He caught a glimpse of Shen Tang's lecherous yet somewhat regretful gaze, narrowed his phoenix eyes slightly, and asked calmly, "What are you looking at?"

Shen Tang quickly looked away and explained, "Um, I, let me check if your injuries have all healed!"

Xue Yinzhou looked at her flushed face, his eyes flickered, but he did not expose the female's clumsy lie.

He bent down, hooked his arms around her legs, and lifted her up in his arms.

Shen Tang gasped and wrapped her arms around his long neck. The two were so close that their breaths mingled.

The last time we were this close... was when he grabbed her by the neck and tried to kill her.

Xue Yinzhou noticed her unease, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes, and whispered, "Thank you."

Shen Tang was stunned, seemingly never expecting to hear those words from his mouth in her lifetime, let alone hear them from him.

Then, her beautiful eyes narrowed into crescents, and she said happily, "No need to thank me. I am your mistress, and it is my responsibility to comfort you. I am already very grateful that I can help you."

Xue Yinzhou's throat was dry, and he suddenly didn't know what to say. He was like a shadow scorched by the sun, feeling somewhat lost.

Having received nothing but malice since childhood, this gentleness felt completely foreign to him.

"It's almost dawn," Shen Tang whispered, leaning against him.
"We go home."

This scene overlapped with the illusion, and Xue Yinzhou's pupils shrank sharply. He pressed his large hand against her waist and nodded obediently, "...Okay, let's go home."

Having tasted the sunshine, how could the shadows hiding in the corners be willing to continue to hide in the dark?

Moonlight pierced through the clouds and fell on the dirt path in the forest. The cool moonlight scattered on the two of them, as if they were draped in a hazy white veil. The chirping of insects and the calls of birds rose and fell, and the journey was quiet and peaceful.

Neither of them spoke.

But compared to the life-or-death struggles of the past, this scene was much more harmonious, exuding an indescribable tranquility and peace.

Xue Yinzhou only took a short while to get home, but he deliberately slowed down, and the journey back took him almost an hour.

Shen Tang kept yawning on the way, so sleepy that she curled up in his arms and slowly fell asleep.

She no longer feared Xueyinzhou and could sleep peacefully.

Xue Yinzhou looked down at the sleeping female in his arms. Perhaps it was because the moonlight was too soft, but a trace of tenderness appeared in her cold and indifferent phoenix eyes.

But the thought of other people disturbing him at home caused the gentleness in Xue Yinzhou's eyes to vanish instantly, replaced by a somber expression. He had never cared about such things before, but his mindset had changed. Back at the villa...

Xue Yinzhou woke Shen Tang up, "We're home, go back to your room and sleep."

Shen Tang woke up to find herself home.

She nodded, got out of Xue Yinzhou's arms, and was about to walk back to her room when she suddenly remembered something and turned back to him, saying, "I have something else I'd like to ask you for help with."

Xue Yinzhou looked down at her. "What is it?"

Shen Tang said a little embarrassedly, "Could you give me another stack of snake skins?"

Snake molts are a very private item for snakes and animals; they would never give them away to outsiders casually.

Only the fact that Xue Yinzhou willingly gave her the snake molt shows that in his heart, he truly regarded her as his mistress and would never harm her.

Otherwise, Shen Tang would always feel uncertain.

Xue Yinzhou stared at her intently for a long time before whispering, "Do you really want it?"

"Hmm, I want it!" I remembered the snake skin I got from him last time, which later rotted and became unrecognizable. I wondered if he was angry.

Shen Tang solemnly assured him, "Don't worry, I will keep it safe this time and I will definitely not damage it again!"

Xue Yinzhou's expression was indifferent, making it impossible to discern his emotions. He didn't say whether he would give it to her or not, but after giving her a deep look, he turned and strode away.

Shen Tang froze on the spot. No, what did he mean by that?
She had just thought their relationship was improving, but the snake-beast still seemed the same deadbeat.

Shen Tang angrily said to the system, "See? This guy is incorrigible. You always say I neglect him, but it's clearly him who neglects me!"

[Host, calm down. After all, a snake's shed skin is its most private part. You two have only just started to reconcile, so he might not trust you completely yet and needs to think it over. Don't be impatient, host. Ask him again next time.]

It was around three or four in the morning. Shen Tang yawned repeatedly, too lazy to think about it anymore, and fell asleep as soon as she lay down on the bed.

I slept straight through until the next morning.

After she woke up and washed up, she was about to go downstairs to find something to eat.

Someone knocked on the door.

Shen Tang wondered if Shen Li had come to call her for dinner.

She walked over and opened the door, only to find Xue Yinzhou standing there.

Shen Tang was full of suspicion, not understanding why he had come over.

Xue Yinzhou took out a stack of snake skins and handed them to her, saying in a low voice, "Here's what you wanted. I've made it. It will be more comfortable to wear this way."

Shen Tang was taken aback when she received it, only to find that the snake molt had been made into the style of underwear.

Did he leave without saying goodbye last night to go get clothes made?

Could it be that he didn't sleep all night and just finished?

Shen Tang came to her senses, touched the soft, gossamer-thin snake skin in her hand, and was overjoyed.

This snake molt is a real treasure! It can intimidate mutated creatures below the ninth rank. When she returns to the contaminated area, she can walk sideways!
I must say, Xueyinzhou's craftsmanship is quite good; the lingerie she makes is also very beautiful.

Thin as a cicada's wing, breathable, and seemingly very resilient, it feels even softer and more comfortable than the snakeskin shed last time. I can imagine how comfortable it would be to wear.

Xue Yinzhou's eyes flickered when he saw her happy expression.

Just as Shen Tang was about to look up and thank him, Xue Yinzhou suddenly pulled her into his arms.

He leaned down and whispered in her ear.

"You're not her, are you?"

I'm too tired today and need to work on the plot outline for the rest of the story, so I won't be updating again.

Good night~
