Bai Sheng, holding the black stone in one hand and Lu Ye's arm in the other, walked with trembling legs towards the silver snake.
She looked at the silver snake eagerly and persuaded it with kind words, "Silver Snake, look at your physique, how much meat do you need to eat in one go? My family is poor, and I'm afraid I can't afford to feed you.
How about you go back to the desert? When you need water, you can come find me, and I'll definitely give you enough water to drink. What do you say?"
Unexpectedly, the silver snake shook its head, suddenly extended its long tongue, and licked the black stone in Bai Sheng's hand.
Bai Sheng knew that this black stone must be a good thing, most likely an extremely fine quality raw jade.
Therefore, even though she was trembling with fear, she did not let go of this black stone. This was money in hand!
The onlookers in the distance couldn't hear what Bai Sheng and the silver snake were saying, but they could see the interaction between the two very clearly and were once again shocked by what they witnessed.
"Bai Sheng, accept it. I'll work hard to earn money," Lu Ye whispered into Bai Sheng's ear.
Bai Sheng had a powerful spatial ability. As her husband, he also had to become stronger and not always live by relying on her.
Bai Sheng said with difficulty, "But it's so big and eats so much, and it's so scary looking..."
Hearing Bai Sheng's words, the silver snake couldn't help but twitch a few times. It seemed the owner's judgment was off!
It did eat a lot, but it was very beautiful. It was the most handsome male in the snake realm!
How could it be scary?!
Lu Ye smiled and whispered again, "Later, we can raise more chickens and rabbits in the spatial realm, and that will guarantee Silver Snake's food."
Chickens and rabbits: Terrified.
Silver Snake: Well, the owner's man is quite good. He has ideas! But I'm not picky about food, whether it's meat or vegetables. I'll eat whatever you eat.
"Raising chickens and rabbits..." Bai Sheng murmured to herself. Indeed, it was possible. There were many plants in the spatial realm, so the chickens and rabbits could eat grass and seeds.
Not only could the silver snake eat, but they would also have meat to eat in the future!
However, she had to let Heng Heng plan it carefully so that the chickens and rabbits wouldn't run around the spatial realm and defecate and urinate indiscriminately!
Seeing Bai Sheng's brows relax a little, Lu Ye said gently, "Later, when you get used to looking at it, you won't be scared anymore. Actually, this silver snake looks quite handsome."
Silver Snake: Wow, the owner's man has great taste! Absolutely stunning!
Bai Sheng pursed her lips and nodded, "Alright, then."
Oh yeah, the silver snake excitedly swayed its head.
The owner's man was simply a divine helper. It would also help him in the future, so he could win over the owner sooner!
In fact, Lu Ye also had his own considerations when persuading Bai Sheng to keep the silver snake. In the future, when he had to go out on business and might be away from home occasionally, this silver snake could protect Bai Sheng and the younger siblings.
Moreover, since these spiritual creatures were so interested in the spiritual spring water, they must have seen some important benefits in it. Now that they could help them, it was likely that they would not mistreat Bai Sheng in the future.
Since he learned that Bai Sheng had come back from the dead and possessed a miraculous spatial ability, he had begun to try to understand this world anew, his vision no longer limited to the mortal world.
Bai Sheng tried her best to calm her emotions and commanded the silver snake in a low voice, "Silver Snake, I promise to take you in. However, there are a few things you must remember.
First, I cannot expose my spatial ability and spiritual spring water. You must know how to cover for me at appropriate times.
Second, you cannot harm people casually, unless it's to protect us. When you enter the spatial realm at night, you must not harm Heng Heng, the big black pig, Baoyu, the wolf cub, or Wu Yun, the little camel.
Third, we can't afford your food these few days, so you'll either have to find your own food, or go hungry for a couple of days.
Fourth, I'm very afraid of snakes, so you can't appear out of nowhere to scare me. Have you noted all this?"
The silver snake shook its head very seriously.
Bai Sheng nodded with satisfaction and walked towards the room with Lu Ye's support.
The silver snake squinted its eyes again and waited patiently for nightfall.
Seeing everyone hiding far away in fear, Bai Sheng smiled and reassured them loudly, "Don't worry everyone, Silver Snake won't hurt you. You can all go back to your own business."
Only then did the crowd gradually regain their courage, but they still dared not get too close. Although the lady of the house said the snake didn't bite, it was still a very wild and venomous snake. A single bite or being swallowed whole would be fatal, so they had to be cautious.
Lu Yun, Lu Yu, Tian Dou, and Tie Zhu, however, were like newborn calves unafraid of tigers. With immense curiosity, they moved step by step closer to the silver snake.
The four dirty boys squatted beside the silver snake, their eyes wide open, looking from its head to its tail repeatedly, wishing they could examine every single snake scale.
Lu Yun bravely extended his small hand, tentatively reaching out to the silver snake. The silver snake suddenly writhed its body and recoiled disdainfully. Lu Yun, startled, immediately withdrew his hand.
He looked into the silver snake's eyes and said with a trembling voice, "Big silver snake, we all want to be good friends with you. Can I touch you?"
Silver Snake: A bunch of dirty little brats, I don't want to be friends with you. I only want to be friends with the owner!
The silver snake proudly raised its head, its eyes slightly narrowed, acting as if it didn't want to be bothered.
Seeing that the silver snake was ignoring him completely, Lu Yun was a bit unwilling. He rolled his eyes and continued, "My name is Lu Yun, and I'm sister-in-law's favorite little brother-in-law. If you let me touch you, I'll constantly say good things about you to sister-in-law, and let sister-in-law give you more water to drink."
Silver Snake: What should I do? I'm a little tempted. Then, why not let this mud monkey touch me?
The silver snake looked wronged and lowered its head to Lu Yun's front, then resignedly closed its snake eyes: Touch me, I'm bending the knee for the owner and the spiritual spring water!
Lu Yun excitedly reached out and touched the silver snake's head. After touching it, his eyes immediately widened, revealing a bright curiosity.
Just as he was about to turn around and show off to his companions with pride, he suddenly noticed Lu Yu looking at him resentfully. His expression faltered, and he asked, "Yu, what's wrong?"
Lu Yu pouted and said indignantly, "Second brother, you're lying. I'm sister-in-law's favorite little brother-in-law. Sister-in-law doesn't let you sleep with her, but she lets me sleep with her!"
Silver Snake: Oh dear, luckily these are words from two little kids. If it were someone older, the owner would be greatly slandered!
Lu Yun had just boasted in front of the silver snake, and Lu Yu immediately embarrassed him. He said angrily, "You clung to sister-in-law yourself. Sister-in-law only let you sleep with her because you are young and missed mom and dad! I am sister-in-law's favorite little brother-in-law. Sister-in-law often praises me for being clever and sensible!"
Lu Yu said with wronged puckered lips, "It's not you, it's me. I am sister-in-law's favorite little brother-in-law!"
