Chapter 268 They've all eaten too much
In the blink of an eye, before Wen Luozhi could even see clearly, her feet had already touched the ground.
Looking around, she realized she was standing at the entrance of a cave. The wind was howling up from the bottom of the cliff, so strong that she could barely open her eyes.
The Mountain Guardian King turned and saw her, asking the mother dragon with some impatience, "Why did you bring this person here?"
His deep voice carried a hint of displeasure, and the mother dragon soothed it with her tail, "This little fellow said it could save our child, so I brought it down."
"Her?" The mountain guardian snorted coldly.
These people are lucky if they don't harm them, let alone help them? What a joke!
Wen Luozhi noticed that the couple's tails were intertwined, and that the Mountain Guardian King's tail was missing a small piece of snake scale.
The exposed part was white with a reddish tinge, and a layer of black hard lumps had formed around it.
She pursed her lips and said nothing, while the two small pythons inside the cave hissed in pain.
The mother dragon panicked and gently nudged Wen Luozhi, "Little one, go and check on my two children."
"If you can save my husband and me, you will be richly rewarded; if not..."
It glanced at the mountain guardian and continued, "I will escort you to the cliff; you may leave on your own."
The mother dragon spoke softly, saying that she and her husband were blessed by Heaven and that they absolutely could not kill any living beings.
She looked at the snake tail of the mountain guardian king with heartache. If it weren't for what happened back then, her husband would probably be just like her now.
Wen Luozhi stepped into the cave. It was too dark for her to see clearly, so she took out a flashlight.
The couple stared curiously at the object in her hand that could brighten the cave.
Inside the deepest part of the cave was a large nest where two small pythons were writhing in agony.
To Wen Luozhi's surprise, one of the two little pythons was light pink and the other was white, and their scales shimmered under the flashlight.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, your parents are here."
The mother dragon comforted the little python for a moment, then turned to Wen Luozhi and said, "Hurry up and show them, little guy."
Wen Luozhi nodded, placed the flashlight on a rock, put on gloves, and examined the two small pythons.
She was still a little afraid of that cold, slippery feeling, but with the gloves on, the sensation wasn't so noticeable.
The two baby pythons cooperated surprisingly well under the soothing caress of their mother, their little eyes gazing at Wen Luozhi with watery eyes.
After examining them, Wen Luozhi rubbed the bellies of the two small pythons and uttered three words indifferently, "They ate too much."
The mother dragon thought she had misheard. She asked incredulously, "What? What did you say?"
Wen Luozhi pointed to the bulging bellies of the two small pythons. "They ate too much. The food they ate is piling up undigested and causing them discomfort."
Snakes digest food relatively slowly, so it's no wonder they feel uncomfortable if they eat too much and their stomachs are full.
The mother dragon suddenly remembered that the two siblings had been competing to eat that morning, and everything had been fine then.
While playing, the siblings suddenly complained of stomach pain, so the two parents quickly brought them over here.
The siblings ate all the good things in the mountains, and it turned out they had eaten too much.
Wen Luozhi fed the two little pythons a few strong digestive pills and then put on gloves to massage their bellies.
Seeing that she didn't have both hands free, the mother dragon imitated her and scooped the small white python in front of her.
The Mountain Guardian King watched from the side. After a short while, the two little pythons, one human and one dragon, were noticeably better and had regained some vitality.
"Mother, it's all my brother's fault for wanting to compete with me to see who can eat more."
The pale pink python nuzzled Wen Luozhi's hand affectionately with its head, its voice slightly complaining.
Wen Luozhi naturally couldn't understand, and the little squirrel in her pocket kept its head tucked in in fear.
The white python glanced at the light pink python indifferently without refuting it.
He won, but he was much more upset than his sister.
The mountain guardian king moved closer, looking speechless. "I always tell you to learn some skills but you slack off, yet you're so eager to eat and do nothing."
His voice regained its previous deep and authoritative tone, "After the change, Little Pink will face the wall for one hour, and Little White for two hours."
The brother and sister knew they had truly frightened their parents this time. The two pythons lay there without saying a word, and the mother python did not plead for them.
The two children were still a bit naughty, and since it was just the most basic form of punishment—facing the wall—she didn't need to worry.
The medicine took effect, and with their constant activity, the two little pythons quickly became energetic again.
Little Pink noticed a pair of small eyes staring at her, so she gently tugged at her tail and pulled the little squirrel out.
The little squirrel was bewildered, but once it realized what was happening, it scattered and fled in all directions.
The little white and little pink creatures were having a blast chasing after it.
The mountain-guarding king and his family helped Wen Luozhi up the cliff, their tone much gentler, "Thank you for saving my two children."
Wolf Overlord jumped over anxiously, sniffing Wen Luozhi left and right to make sure she was alright. He then complained aggrievedly, "Why didn't you let her take me down with you?!"
"If you're in trouble, who's going to make me the best beggar's chicken?"
Wen Luozhi: ...
She patted its big head, leaned against its soft body, and sat on the ground rubbing her wrists.
Her hands are incredibly sore right now, and it may take quite a while for them to recover.
Little Pink was unusually affectionate towards her, sneaking over to her side and curling up with its head gently resting on her knee.
Wen Luozhi habitually raised her hand to pat her head, then took out two small horns with fish fin-like shapes and put them on her head.
The little python looked instantly much cuter, with its two round, pink eyes looking up but unable to see anything.
Wen Luozhi pulled out a mirror and shoved it in front of her, saying, "Look at me."
Little Pink obediently looked in the mirror and almost jumped back in fright.
Not only did the python in the mirror look exactly like her, but when she blinked, the python in the mirror blinked too, and when she opened her mouth, the python in the mirror opened its mouth as well.
"Her two little horns on her head are so cute!" Little Pink murmured.
Wen Luozhi chuckled softly, "The little python inside is you."
Little Pink was a little incredulous, curling its tail up and looking at itself in the mirror from side to side.
Wolf Overlord and Little White started playing too. The snakes formed a circle, and the two of them were playing a game of pounce and dodge inside the circle.
The Mountain Guardian King and the Mother Dragon exchanged a glance, and seeing his wife nod at him, he quickly darted down the cliff.
When it came back up, its tail was curled with a transparent bead that emitted a faint golden light.
He gently placed the bead in front of Wen Luozhi and retreated to the mother dragon's side.
"Little one, this bead can heal all external wounds."
"Thank you for saving my child."
Wen Luozhi picked up the bead from the ground and felt a warm sensation in her hand.
Little Pink knocked the mirror to the ground and couldn't roll it up. When she reached out to help, she was surprised to find that her incredibly sore wrist had returned to normal.
She looked at the mother dragon in surprise, and the mother dragon nodded to her.
Wen Luozhi's gaze fell on the tail of the Mountain Guardian King, and she heard the mother dragon sigh softly, "This thing is useless to him."
When she talked about what happened back then, Wen Luozhi realized that what Wen Muchuan had told her was only part of the story.
He probably didn't know that one of the reasons the villagers set fire to the mountain was to steal this precious pearl.
"This is called the Ten Thousand Healing Pearl. Little one, please keep it safe."
