Magic: Reincarnate from high-voltage electricity at the start, level up independently.

On the table.

The clear broth was bubbling away, white steam rising and carrying a faint aroma of herbs throughout the room.

Under the persistent and enthusiastic invitations of the gothic girl, the white-haired girl finally picked up her chopsticks.

Her gaze fell on the plate in front of her—

It was a plate of snake tail meat that had just been cut a few dozen seconds ago. The cut surface still shone with a fresh sheen, and the meat was a translucent pinkish-white color, looking crystal clear and extremely tempting.

Chu Ge picked up a piece of snake meat and put it into the boiling pot.

The white broth instantly swallowed the sliced ​​meat.

She waited for about ten seconds until the meat slices changed color and curled up, then scooped them out and curiously put them in her mouth to taste.

The moment it enters your mouth, the umami flavor explodes.

The tender texture is almost indescribable; the meat is firm and chewy, yet melts in your mouth, with a unique savory aroma that unfolds layer by layer in your mouth, making it a true delicacy.

Immediately afterwards, a pure magical power was released from the snake flesh, flowing down her throat and into her limbs and bones, warmly and gently nourishing her body.

She was slightly surprised.

Who would have thought that the meat of this young snake would have such a wonderful use?

The magic power gained from that one bite was no less than that of a low-level crystal core.

"How does it taste?" Su Lingbai, sitting opposite, asked, while picking up a piece of freshly cooked snake meat and putting it in her mouth, chewing it slowly.

"Very good." Chu Ge nodded truthfully.

"That's good." Su Lingbai chuckled and continued, "I was worried you wouldn't be used to snake meat. But I don't have much to offer, so I had no choice but to resort to this."

She paused, then added, "But the meat from cauliflower is indeed hard to find anywhere else in the world."

"If an ordinary person were to take a bite, they would likely be poisoned on the spot; but if someone with sufficient cultivation were to take it, the toxins in their body would be transformed into magical power, which would in turn nourish your body."

"What kind of monster is she?" Chu Ge asked curiously.

She developed a strong interest in the rat snake.

The other party can not only speak, but also has a powerful self-healing ability. At the same time, her physical body is equivalent to a walking, inexhaustible vein of crystal cores.

A thought popped into Chu Ge's mind: he would catch one too, raise it, and eat it slowly.

The existence of this creature was practically tailor-made for her.

"She's not a demon beast." Su Lingbai shook her head and answered calmly, "Little Cabbage is a demon, summoned by me using magic."

"If you also want to keep one, then it's probably not possible," she explained. "When I summoned her, Little Cauliflower said she was the last one of her kind, and there probably wouldn't be another one like her in the world."

"Monster?"

Chu Ge had studied in the library, so he naturally knew what this was.

They were a group of creatures that invaded Witch Planet from other worlds a long time ago.

They look like humans, but they also have some characteristics of monsters—such as dragon girls, cat girls, snake girls, or bull demons.

They can speak, possess remarkable wisdom, and have extremely long lifespans.

Monsters do not need to train; they naturally grow stronger over time. The rarer the monster, the higher its potential for growth, and it also possesses some unique racial talents.

Some monsters are ferocious, while others are very kind.

The planet Witch is now inhabited by many monsters, who have even become legal citizens of this world, multiplying and enjoying the same rights as humans.

While walking down the street today, Chu Ge saw quite a few demons.

They dislike wearing clothes, walk carefree on the streets, and mate anytime, anywhere.

Chu Ge suddenly thought of a question.

I wonder if the flesh of these monsters, like that of the Rapeseed Snake Girl, contains pure magic?

"What a pity..." she sighed softly.

Su Lingbai said that the other party was the last one in the race, so she probably really couldn't find a second one.

but……

Speaking of snakes?

She remembered that she seemed to have one as well.

It was a little white snake.

But she suddenly realized that she hadn't heard the other person speak since she came into this world.

"Little White," the white-haired girl called softly.

After waiting for a long time, there was no response.

"Little White?" she called several times, but to no avail.

Excuse me for a moment.

Chu Ge spoke to Su Lingbai, then left the dining table and went outside.

Then, she searched herself thoroughly, not even missing the hole that pierced her heart.

But still no trace of the little white snake was found.

"Could they have been scattered by the nuclear explosion?" the white-haired girl murmured to herself.

It seems that this possibility is not out of the question.

"Fine," she said in her ethereal voice, quickly putting the matter aside.

Life and death are predestined; whether it can survive that nuclear explosion depends on its own fate.

Perhaps it is dead; perhaps it is alive.

Perhaps it is still on Eternal Star; perhaps it has gone to another world.

If you're lucky, you might even be able to evolve through nuclear radiation.

The same might be true for Shadow and Zhu Rong.

Chu Ge could only silently pray that things would turn out for the better.

"Zhurong, Shadow, Little White, I hope you survived too—level up on your own in Eternal Star or some other world."

She said this silently to herself, and then another figure appeared in her mind.

She was a black-haired girl who liked to call herself "The Great Emperor".

"Xu Wan... I also wish you were still alive..."

"After all... you have cultivated the Great Thousand Records and have such a firm Dao heart, you should return one day."

"I hope—" she sighed softly, offering her dearest friend her purest blessing, "that the day you return will truly be worthy of the title 'Empress Xu Wan'."

After saying that, she turned and walked back.

As she passed by the kitchen, she saw the girl with the rat snake still lying on the cutting board.

The lighting was dim, and the other person was covered in blood, with only their upper body remaining. Blood was still oozing from the wounds, dripping onto the cutting board and forming a small puddle.

She remained motionless, her fate unknown.

This scene created an eerie contrast with Su Lingbai, who was enjoying a delicious hot pot of snake meat at the other table.

Chu Ge sat down at the dining table and asked Su Lingbai, "Shouldn't we leave her alone?"

"It's alright," Su Lingbai said calmly. "Don't worry about her. She'll come and eat when she's hungry."

"That's not what I meant..." The white-haired girl hesitated, then stopped herself from speaking.

What she meant was—your garter snake is bleeding too much and looks like it's already dead.

Just as she was about to speak again, a loud "gurgling" sound came from the kitchen.

Then came a muffled "bang".

It looked like some heavy object had fallen to the ground from a great height.

Not long after, the white-haired girl saw the cauliflower snake girl crawl in from the kitchen doorway.

Her lower body has not yet recovered, leaving only her upper body, which looks as tragic as a certain popular anime character.

The girl with the cauliflower snake had her head buried in the ground and was crawling forward little by little with her hands. A long trail of blood trailed on the ground from her wound, winding and twisting, just like a female ghost crawling out of a horror movie.

"I...am so...hungry..."

A hoarse, deep, and eerie voice came from deep within the girl's throat.

"Su Lingbai...give me back my life..."

"Give me back my life—!"

She suddenly roared, raising her head high to reveal sharp fangs, the tips of which gleamed with a cold, sinister light.

However, what awaited her was a vicious kick from Su Lingbai.

"Bang--!"

The girl with the cauliflower snake was kicked away, her body arcing through the air before crashing through the wall and rolling into the courtyard.

Dust flew everywhere, and splinters of wood flew in all directions.

"Are you crazy?!"

Su Lingbai put down her chopsticks, looked at the long trail of blood on the ground, and her eyelids twitched slightly.

"I just mopped the floor, and you've already made it dirty again!"

"...Private Marseille." The girl with the cauliflower snake lay on the ground outside, her voice muffled as it returned.

Su Lingbai took a deep breath and said coldly, "You'd better mop the floor later!"

"……good."

"And fix this huge hole too!"

"……good."

"You treated her like that..." Chu Ge, who had witnessed everything, finally couldn't help but say to Su Lingbai, "Isn't that a bit too cruel?"

However, Su Lingbai shook her head and replied calmly, "Don't be fooled by her appearance. This cunning and evil woman is far more treacherous than you think."

"Don't let her cute appearance or victim-like demeanor fool you. Her racial nature is chaotic and evil, and she's ruthless when it comes to committing murder."

"When I first summoned her, she thanked me and said that her tribe was facing extinction and that she would have died if I hadn't summoned her."

"I felt sorry for her and was going to get her some food. But this guy attacked me when I turned around, trying to kill me."

Su Lingbai became even angrier at this point.

"I beat her up on the spot, and she immediately backed down, saying that she would obey me from now on and would never have any other thoughts."

"And the result?" Su Lingbai laughed in anger. "She was thinking about killing me all the time."

"She swallowed me while I was sleeping, poisoned me while cooking for me, and even ran me over while I was walking down the street..."

"Luckily, I'm stronger than her," she continued. "If someone else had summoned her, she would probably have been killed countless times by now."

"This snake has two talents."

"First: It has a very strong self-healing ability, making it extremely difficult to kill."

"Secondly: Every injury will increase your strength. The more severe the injury, the greater the increase in strength."

She looked at Chu Ge and said, "Now you know how awful she is, right? She doesn't deserve any sympathy. Her tail could have grown back on its own, but she just pretended to be dead and deliberately made my floor dirty."

"So just leave her alone and let her stay there."

Hearing Su Lingbai's accusations, Chu Ge understood. Every beating the snake girl endured was not in vain.

"But... you said she is 'chaotic evil,' so aren't you afraid that she will harm society if you let her out?" Chu Ge asked curiously.

She vividly remembered that when she was walking normally on the main road, the snake girl tried to kick her to death with her snake tail.

The snake girl's strength is also terrifying.

Although she was constantly being tormented by Su Lingbai, her cultivation level had already reached S-rank, even surpassing Li Yi's.

Such a terrifying monster, if it were anyone else today, and Su Lingbai wasn't there, they would probably really be dead.

Upon hearing Chu Ge's question, Su Lingbai replied calmly, "That won't happen. I've placed a curse on her; if she tries to harm a creature weaker than herself, she'll definitely be in trouble."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Ge saw a mosquito fly towards the girl with the rapeseed snake lying in the yard.

The buzzing sound was incessant, swirling and hovering around the girl with the cauliflower snake.

After a while, she finally couldn't take it anymore.

"Damn it! Even you're bullying me!"

Her tail instantly grew out, she sprang up from the ground, opened her mouth wide, and pounced on the mosquito.

However, despite her great speed, she always missed the mosquito by just a little bit.

She darted left and right, leaping and bounding, but the mosquito seemed to be toying with her, always nimbly flying away just as she was about to bite.

Finally, she chased it to the ginkgo tree, where the snake's tail slipped on the smooth ground and slammed its head against the tree trunk.

The ginkgo tree remained completely still.

A large bump swelled up on her forehead, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.

In the end, she still didn't kill the mosquito.

The mosquito landed leisurely on the tip of her nose, seemingly mocking her.

"That's it." Su Lingbai shrugged.

Then, she walked over to the girl with the snake-like appendage that had fainted under the ginkgo tree and gently picked her up.

Seeing this, Chu Ge originally thought that Su Lingbai was afraid that the other party would catch a cold and wanted to carry him to the room to sleep.

result--

Su Lingbai carried the snake girl into the kitchen and placed her back on the cutting board.

She picked up the kitchen knife next to her, muttering to herself, "Just this once, remember to come up here yourself next time."

Knife up and down.

They cut up a whole big bowl of snake meat.

Chu Ge: "..."

It wasn't chuunibyou after all...

It's a mental illness...

At this moment, the white-haired girl couldn't tell whether she was too naive or the people of the Witch Star world were too complicated.

Su Lingbai divided the freshly cut snake meat into three portions.

One portion was used for hot pot.

One serving is prepared as snake meat sashimi and sushi.

Coat each portion with breadcrumbs and deep-fry until golden brown and crispy.

After preparing the new food, she took out several cans of wheat juice from the refrigerator and called out to the white-haired girl:

"Come on, try my cooking, I just learned it!"

She pointed to the plate of steaming fried snake cutlets, their golden-brown surface still sizzling with oil.

The white-haired girl's nose twitched slightly.

She had to admit that she was tempted by the aroma of the fried snake cutlets.

"it is good."

The two of them continued eating and drinking like that.

When they ran out of meat, Su Lingbai woke up the snake girl and made her continue to "contribute ingredients".

Over and over again, I don't know how many times I harvested throughout the night.

Every so often, the girl with the flower snake would let out a painful wail, begging Su Lingbai to stop.

The white-haired girl watched quietly from the side.

At one point, she noticed that the killing intent in Su Lingbai's eyes seemed to have faded a little, and his hand paused slightly.

My heart softened.

The snake keenly picked up on the signal.

Then--

She's acting like a jerk again.

The girl with the cauliflower snake lay on the cutting board, threatening fiercely:

"Su Lingbai, if you hurt me again, I'll tell that guy next to you about the hemorrhoids on your butt! And I'll post it online so everyone knows the shrine maiden at the White Bell Shrine has hemorrhoids!"

After she finished speaking, she looked at Su Lingbai with an arrogant expression.

She was certain she had him cornered.

A proud gothic girl like her definitely wouldn't want her secret to be known by a third person.

The kitchen fell into a deathly silence.

You could hear a pin drop.

In an instant, the already dim kitchen lights began to flicker and sway violently.

The pots and pans clanged and clattered, and everything in the room vibrated.

Su Lingbai lowered her head, one hand tightly gripping the kitchen knife, her breath seemingly stopped.

Not a word.

An invisible killing intent began to permeate, spread, and expand in the kitchen, making it almost impossible for anyone to breathe.

"Chu Ge, please go out for a moment."

"...I didn't hear anything." The white-haired girl covered her ears and silently retreated.

She retreated into the courtyard.

The sky outside was already brightening, with a faint trace of red appearing on the distant horizon.

A few seconds later.

The roar of a chainsaw came from the kitchen.

Then came screams that ripped through the sky and pleas for mercy.

The cry was so piercing that it caused several leaves to fall from the ginkgo trees in the courtyard.

Chu Ge looked up at the tall ginkgo tree, then at the direction of the kitchen, sensing that the power of the snake girl was gradually increasing, and a hint of envy appeared on his face.

She finally understood that old saying—

They are blessed but don't know it.

……

When Chu Ge returned to the island, it was already afternoon.

The sea breeze, carrying a salty and damp scent, rushed towards me, and the waves crashed against the rocks, making a rhythmic sound.

Everything is exactly as it was when she left.

however--

As soon as she set foot on the island, she sensed something was wrong.

The air was filled with an eerie atmosphere she had never felt before.

The aura was cold and damp, as if something had crawled out of an abyss.

Chu Ge frowned and followed the source of the aura.

Then, she stopped in her tracks in astonishment.

She remembered clearly that before she left, she buried the dismembered woman's body here.

She dug the hole herself and covered it with soil herself.

But now—

The grave has been dug up.

Soil was scattered all around, and the pit was empty.

The body inside was gone.
