Starting with Hyuga, traversing countless heavens

"No need, Junior Brother Fang. You've been away from Maoshan for many days, you should go back and let them know you're safe."

"hiss."

The bamboo viper suddenly flicked its tongue, startling Ah Chu and Ah Hai.

"Master, there's a monster."

"There's a monster, Master."

"Demon my foot! I'm the guardian spirit beast of Maoshan! Hiss!"

The bamboo viper revealed its head, a huge head that frightened Achu and Ahai, who hid behind Mao Xiaofang, leaving Mao Xiaofang both amused and exasperated.

"Shixing, I sense something of the same kind nearby, but it doesn't seem to have taken human form yet; it just seems to possess a certain level of intelligence. She's provoking me! How infuriating!"

Hinata Hoshino pondered for a moment, then realized it was Lei Gang's adopted daughter, Lei Xiu, and the snake demon beside her.

Then, he placed his hand on the forehead of the bamboo leaf viper and looked at the sky; it wasn't spring yet.

So fast, they can exchange pheromones?

"Master, Master, something terrible has happened! Something terrible has happened!"

"Tell me slowly, what's wrong?"

"Something terrible has happened at Uncle Zhang's house!"

Mao Xiaofang hurriedly ran off, while Hinata Hoshino looked at Zhu Yeqing, wondering if they should stay and watch the show.

“Great idea, Shixing agrees with me.”

I'll pull your teeth out sooner or later!

Hinata Hoshino's eyes revealed the Mangekyou Sharingan, a true illusion technique. Bamboo Leaf Blue saw a person holding a golden python, having its teeth pulled out, and grabbing the snake's head.

“yue, yue…”

Bamboo Leaf Green gagged, touched its teeth to make sure they were still there. No wonder Aunt Hu said that humans play with flowers, so that's what she meant. Disgusting.

Hinata Hoshino scratched his head with a playful smile. He used to not know what tooth extraction meant, but now that he did, he wondered if Takebako would be scared.

"Shixing, I'm warning you, if you dare, I'll... I'll..."

"What? Think it over and let me hear it. Let's go check out the excitement first."

Carrying the bamboo viper on its shoulder, the bamboo viper lowered its head, seemingly lost in thought, its mind filled with images of the golden python from before, recalling its original form.

The huge snake head we saw earlier was an illusion meant to frighten people; the real bamboo viper is only about a finger's width.

That's impossible. It's as big as a golden python. The bamboo viper is having a real headache. If Hyuga Hoshino really does that, will it be able to fight back?

Thinking of this, the bamboo viper, like a broken snake, hissed towards the sky.

"Ouch! Someone, please save me!"

Zhang Bojia, Sanyuan’s tone was sour. He didn’t expect that he was not as well-known as Mao Xiaofang among the villagers. In that case, he was also a kind of official.

“Uncle Zhang, there’s no need for Mao Xiaofang. I, Da Sanyuan, can handle it.”

"No, I can only feel at ease if Master Mao comes."

Because the farmland crops were destroyed, and the Zhang family was due to pay their rent in a few days, Sanyuan's reputation was worthless in front of Master Jin.

Mao Xiaofang could not only find out the problems, but also plead with Master Jin, so Uncle Zhang preferred to find Mao Xiaofang.

"Uncle Zhang, I'm here."

"Master Mao, you've come at the right time. Look at these vegetables, they've all died because something bit them."

Mao Xiaofang stared at the snake scales on the dish, lost in thought, but pleading for leniency was the priority.

"Uncle Zhang, don't worry, I will talk to Master Jin and ask him to give you some more time."

"That's fine, that's fine."

Sanyuan finally realized that this was the ultimate goal, and that he certainly didn't have that much face.

“However, Uncle Zhang, it is my job to find the culprit. I am the official in charge.”

"Then tell me, what caused this?"

"It must be a notorious thief! I guarantee it based on my years of experience."

"Bullshit! It's clearly a snake!"

Hinata Hoshino carried the bamboo viper as if he were carrying a stereo system, and the people present seemed to hear background music.

Zhu Yeqing helplessly turned off the old-fashioned radio, shaking his head to show his incomprehension, wondering what the point was.

"Senior brother, does this mean that snakes are the ones eating the vegetables?"

"That's impossible! When have snakes ever eaten vegetables? Impossible, absolutely impossible."

Hinata Hoshino took out a carrot and handed it to Takebako, but Takebako was dissatisfied and still nibbled on it in small bites.

"Look, the snake is eating vegetables."

The bamboo viper revealed its head, startling Uncle Zhang, Aunt Zhang, and Sanyuan.

Ah Chu and Ah Hai chuckled to themselves; finally, they weren't the only ones who were startled.

Mao Xiaofang looked calmly at the two of them, and the two of them immediately looked righteous and awe-inspiring.

Chapter 196 Xiaobai

"Master Mao, snake, snake, snake, snake! Demon, demon! There's a snake demon!"

Sanyuan was so frightened that he couldn't speak clearly. Mao Xiaofang was a little helpless. This was his senior brother. What could he do?

Hinata Hoshino gave a wicked smile, and Bamboo Leaf Green laughed just as happily, feeling that even carrots tasted much better.

"Awoo, snap snap."

"Does it taste good?"

"It's delicious, strangely sweet."

"click click"

Hinata Hoshino took a bite of the carrot and thought it was indeed delicious.

"Senior brother, let's take care of the important matters first."

"Serious business? Xiao Fang, I'm just here to watch the fun. If you need help, I suggest you ask her."

Hinata Hoshino held up a bamboo viper and waved it in front of Mao Xiaofang. Mao Xiaofang was speechless. What should he call it?

"This snake fairy, I wonder if you could help me find her?"

After a long pause, Mao Xiaofang finally managed to utter the words "snake fairy" and handed over the scales.

"Hmph, so it's this guy, the stinky snake who provoked me before. What kind of domesticated little snake is she? She's the one who's an uncultured wild snake. Snap, sizzle."

Bamboo Leaf Green ate the carrot, grinding its teeth loudly. Hinata Hoshino shrugged, still quite resentful.

Bamboo Leaf Green's nose twitched, and it pointed in a direction.

"Go for it, make her soup."

"I'm not from Guangdong, and I don't like drinking soup."

"Then braise it, stew it, or grill it..."

"Those of the same kind should not eat each other."

"Then you can eat it. This old lady is a snake fairy, not a domesticated snake, not a small, insignificant snake, and certainly not a rat snake!"

Mao Xiaofang's lips twitched; he was filled with resentment.

"Hiss, hiss hiss hiss, hiss hiss!"

"Hiss, roar!"

When they arrived at a certain place, Hinata Hoshino stopped. Mao Xiaofang glanced at it and saw that it was the Jin family's house.

Hinata Hoshino's expression was strange. With the blessing of the Kirin bloodline, Hinata Hoshino could understand animal language. The bamboo leaf green cursed so filthyly that all he could say was "Call your mother!" The volume was frighteningly high.

Unable to withstand the attack, the snake demon grew to a gigantic size, at which point the giant python poked its head out of the courtyard and roared.

Hinata Hoshino could only say that Rai Xiu treated her well, and all she could say was, "You're the one who's asking for a beating," which was a completely intimidating statement.

"Hiss~, hiss, hiss↓, hiss hiss hiss→."

"hiss!"

"Why are you hissing?"

"I understood, and this is what I felt compelled to say."

"Why didn't you say you could understand earlier! You're going to die!"

Bamboo Leaf Green blushed and wanted to cover Hinata Hoshino's ears, which showed that his insults were much dirtier than before.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss."

Bamboo Leaf Green made a face at the giant python, its taunting intensity at its peak.

"Danger! Be careful, senior brother."

"Danger! Get out of the way!"

Sanyuan and Mao Xiaofang spoke up to remind him, and Hinata Hoshino thought that Sanyuan's character was acceptable.

The snake's head was within reach. Sanyuan fired, but the bullets bounced off the python's scales, proving utterly useless.

Mao Xiaofang released a Fiery Talisman, aiming directly at the giant python's eyeball. The python's eyeball was covered with an eye membrane, which blocked the talisman.

Hinata Hoshino kicked the giant python in the jaw. The python was struck hard and seemed to have seen its great-grandmother.

The giant python's head was kicked up and landed to the side with a dull thud.

"hiss!"

Hinata Hoshino looked at the seemingly dying giant python before him, raised his right foot, and chopped it down like a battle axe.

"Boom, boom..."
