Chapter 80: The Snake’s Companion – Your delivery has arrived, only five-star reviews are accepted…

So dark… so cold…

The light sphere in Ji Mo Lin’s hand leaped, floating erratically towards the black snake’s forehead.

“Hiss…” The black snake extended its massive tongue, cautiously touching the light sphere.

“An’an…” Ji Mo Lin followed the light sphere, stepping into the circle coiled by the giant snake.

But inside the circle, there was nothing, only endless darkness and freezing wind.

“Hiss…” The giant snake once again swam towards the old man, its golden vertical pupils trembling slightly.

“I am Ji Mo Lin, An’an’s grandfather.” An overwhelming pressure and fear descended, the old man’s body trembling instinctively.

His body was telling him to run, but he couldn’t run, how could he?

“Hiss…” The giant snake extended its tongue again, touching the light sphere bouncing on Ji Mo Lin’s shoulder.

The light sphere bounced into the air, retreated nearly a meter, then swooshed and collided with the snake’s red tongue.

“Hiss!” The snake shuddered from the impact, but its tail, hidden in the darkness, swayed with pleasure.

Finally, it lowered its head.

The giant snake opened its mouth, and a translucent figure lay quietly inside with its eyes closed.

“An’an!” In that instant, Ji Mo Lin forgot his fear, he rushed into the giant snake’s mouth, knelt in the icy oral cavity, and reached out to embrace his child.

“Hiss…” Suddenly someone rushed into its mouth, the giant snake writhed anxiously, but the light sphere struck its fangs with full force.

So the snake obediently softened, stretching its mouth open as much as possible.

“Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid.” Ji Mo Lin reached out to take the light sphere, and with one hand, he embraced the person with closed eyes.

The soul was about to shatter… The gap on his forehead rose and fell with each shallow breath, each movement widening the crack even more.

“That is…” Ji Mo Lin’s gaze lowered, seeing a heart still beating.

It was hidden in the translucent chest, wrapped in countless cracks, but it was beating.

Even though it was weak, it was still beating.

But unlike ordinary hearts, this heart was bi-colored, red and gold. Red muscle tissue occupied most of the heart, but the rest was pure gold.

That was the snake’s heart… Ji Mo Lin looked at the beating heart, a wave of bitterness surging into his heart.

“You both have to live, okay?” His voice was almost pleading, and the light sphere in his palm bounced up and landed on the gap in Ji Mo An’s forehead.

The light sphere jumped, seemed to twist its body to glance at Ji Mo Lin, and then burrowed into the gap.

“Mmm…” Ji Mo An, who had been silent, suddenly groaned, and the cracks on his face emitted a faint glow.

“Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, Grandpa is here.” Ji Mo Lin gently patted his shoulder, watching the cracks gradually fill with silvery-white light.

“Hiss… hiss…” The snake called softly with its mouth open, its flexible tongue reaching back into its mouth to wrap around Ji Mo An’s body, tightening it little by little.

The gaps and cracks were slowly healing, and the bi-colored heart gradually blurred.

“Grandpa?” His eyelashes trembled slightly, Ji Mo An blinked, actually regaining consciousness.

“It’s Grandpa, Grandpa is here.” Ji Mo Lin joyfully brushed away the hair that covered Ji Mo An’s eyes.

“It hurts…” Ji Mo An closed his eyes, his whole body trembling.

“Just bear with it a little longer, it will be fine soon.” The old man saw it and felt the pain in his heart.

Gradually, the cracks had completely healed, but the pale surface of his skin revealed countless ravines.

As if strips of flesh had been dug away, leaving only gray wounds.

Too many, densely packed, at least a thousand.

“Hiss…” The giant snake suddenly cried out, and its wide-open mouth suddenly closed.

A sense of weightlessness suddenly struck, and the two seemed to fall into endless darkness.

“Ah!” Ji Mo An suddenly opened his eyes.

He supported himself and sat up, and the vines surrounding him retreated.

“You’re awake.” A joyful and ancient voice rang in his ear.

“Tree of Life?” Ji Mo An was stunned.

“Yes, it’s me.” The emerald green vines stretched out again, tapping Ji Mo An’s shoulder. “Hurry and go out with your grandfather, my work is done, it’s time to return to my own instance.”

“Grandpa…” Ji Mo An was a little dazed, he didn’t remember what happened after he lost consciousness, but vaguely someone had been holding him, telling him not to be afraid.

“An’an!” The old man, who had also woken up, struggled to sit up from the vines and grabbed Ji Mo An’s hand.

“Ugh… Two people are a bit much, my tree hole is going to explode.” The Tree of Life muttered, gesticulating with its vines, condensing a pure white portal in the darkness.

“Bye-bye, bye-bye.” The Tree of Life couldn’t wait to say goodbye, its emerald green branches seeming to dance with joy.

As long as they went out from here, they could return to the real world.

But…

Ji Mo An felt his throat tighten, dryness and pain washing over him, even his heart aching faintly.

“An’an, he won’t die.” Ji Mo Lin held his hand tightly.

“Grandpa, I heard it all… I…” Ji Mo An’s hand was shaking, shaking uncontrollably.

“He won’t die, Grandpa swears. I made a wish for him, I said he has to live.” Ji Mo Lin stood up and gently patted Ji Mo An’s back.

“He agreed, child, don’t be afraid, he won’t die.”

But he was afraid… Ji Mo An bit his lip, he never thought the snake would die, die for him.

But he didn’t dare to say it, didn’t dare to ask. What if… what if it really…

His eyes were wet, he pressed his chest, a heart beating powerfully and steadily.

“Get out, you two, I haven’t slept for six years.” Seeing the old man about to speak again, the Tree of Life finally couldn’t bear it and stretched out its vines to push them directly out.

“Careful!” Ji Mo An protected his grandfather, almost stumbling as they were blasted out of the tree hole. Eyes that had adapted to the darkness had to close because of the sudden light, but rustling sounds had already reached their ears.

Outside the tree hole, there was a bustling crowd, and the aroma was overwhelming.

Ji Mo An opened his eyes, stunned in place.

His eyes seemed to be broken, seeing something outrageous.

He mechanically turned his head and saw the equally shocked expression on his grandfather’s face.

So… many people, such a big pot.

Only to see on that brilliant canopy, a copper pot more than a meter in diameter was bubbling with white smoke.

Seven or eight handsome men and beautiful women were holding bowls and chopsticks around the pot, the sounds of laughter rising and falling.

Ji Mo An blankly watched the silver-haired youth sitting directly opposite him scoop around in the pot with chopsticks, then pick up a tender piece of meat and shake it.

“Hiss~” The Chopsticks Snake coiled on his lap saw the meat and its eyes almost lit up, immediately leaning over, wagging its tail, biting the lower end of the meat, and swallowing it little by little.

“…” What’s going on…

They were struggling for their lives inside, and outside everyone was happily eating hot pot?

And where did all these people come from?!

“Oh, they’re out, so fast.” Just as they were stunned, the sharp-eyed boss had already noticed something was wrong.

“Come on, come on, have something hot.” Two people Whooshran over and dragged the dumbfounded duo over.

“N… no…” Ji Mo An was stuffed with a set of bowls and chopsticks, and just as he wanted to speak, a mouthful of meat was stuffed into his mouth.

So fragrant… His mouth moved shamefully on its own.

“Hiss~ hiss~” The Chopsticks Snake on the other side was halfway through eating its meat when it suddenly saw Ji Mo An.

It immediately used all its strength to tear the meat off the chopsticks and happily swam in front of Ji Mo An, wagging its tail.

“You… you didn’t say…” Ji Mo An stared wide-eyed at the Chopsticks Snake holding the meat in its mouth, his brain seemingly rusted and unable to think.

He was heartbroken when he heard the snake say it couldn’t hold on in the tree hole.

“Hey, it’s not that easy to kick the bucket. Although this Bobo Snake (Bo Bo Snake) thing is a bit serious, it’s not enough to really croak.” A man with big black curly hair sitting next to him suddenly turned his head and quickly scooped a chopstick of fish and threw it into Ji Mo An’s bowl.

“T… thank you.” Ji Mo An thanked subconsciously.

“Don’t mention it, eat.” The man turned his head back, and on the corner of his eye and neck there was actually a layer of black scales.

But unlike Xuan Bai, his scales were smoother, like fish scales.

Looking further down, instead of legs, a black fish tail that looked over two meters long coiled under the man’s black robe.

“Hey, staring at someone’s tail isn’t very polite.” The ‘person’ chuckled, and the black pectoral fin swayed, several dark bone spurs erecting from between the fins.

“Sorry…”

“Hiss! Hiss!” Before Ji Mo An could finish speaking, the Chopsticks Snake Whooshstood up, hissed at the man, and bit the other’s arm with its little fangs.

“Hey, you even bite me!” The ‘person’ began to use chopsticks to grab the snake’s head, but the Chopsticks Snake was agile, dodging left and right and wasn’t caught.

But in less than half a minute, the action of chopsticks clamping the snake slowed down, the man with big black curly hair gradually began to tremble, and his lips turned a shade of blackish purple.

The woman next to him, buried in hard eating, raised her head and looked at the situation, then immediately shouted.

“Nan Sheng, stop gossiping. Your boss was bitten by Bo Bo Si!”

“Ah?” There was an immediate response from the tree trunk, a woman wearing a black fishtail skirt ran over and stuffed a green thing into the mouth of the man who had already fallen into the leaves.

“Did you bite him?” The woman named Nan Sheng patted her hands and looked at Xuan Bai with raised eyebrows.

The Chopsticks Snake proudly puffed out its chest and hissed, its face full of ‘I did it’.

“Well done, he ate all the kelp knots. Serves him right!” Nan Sheng smiled and extended her hand to give the Chopsticks Snake’s tail tip a high-five.

“What exactly is going on.” Ji Mo An hugged the snake with a speechless expression.

“They are the snake’s companions!” The Chopsticks Snake stared at the fish meat in Ji Mo An’s bowl, drooling.

Fragrant, snake, drool.

The snake’s companions… so, everyone here is a boss?

The snake’s companions have arrived?

“The snake thought it was going to die, but the snake didn’t die.” Xuan Bai rubbed its head against Ji Mo An’s hand.

“The boss said Grandpa went to save you, so the snake waited here. After the companions came, they felt bored, so they started eating hot pot.”

“It’s good that you’re okay.” Ji Mo An looked at the lively snake, and the tight string in his heart finally loosened.

“Not completely okay.” The Chopsticks Snake stretched its head to bite the fish meat, “The snake’s heart is gone, and it’s not in its hometown. Maybe it’s dead, but the boss gave the snake power, so the snake has to wait a little longer.”

“Wait a little longer? Wait for what?” Ji Mo An’s heart tightened again.

“Ugh, the snake has to wait…”

“Waiting for his resurrection gift pack.” A portal opened next to the hot pot with a snap, and a man in a tuxedo walked out.

“Your delivery has arrived, only five-star reviews are accepted.” He pushed his gold-rimmed glasses, smiled and flicked the Chopsticks Snake’s head, then nodded to Ji Mo An.

“I am Yu Li, it is an honor to see you again.”

“Slit-eyed! Bad!” The Chopsticks Snake was swaying from the flick, it jumped up to bite Yu Li.

“Please, I’m trying very hard to save you.” Yu Li did an elegant turn, and the snake only bit the edge of the tuxedo.

“Then you can keep it. You can even lie together, he replenishes your heart and you replenish his soul.” He magically pulled a jar from the air and handed it to Ji Mo An.

“Here, Father personally kneaded it, God, I’ve never seen Father God’s expression so wonderful.”

Ji Mo An looked at the jar, the transparent material contained a heart, a golden heart.

“Father God’s skill in kneading hearts is obviously better than when he created us, I’ll ask Father God to give me a new one when I have time, I want a purple one. Ugh… speaking of which, can I get my boss a new brain?” Nan Sheng came over for a closer look.

“I agree with your opinion.” Yu Li tilted his head slightly, and the corners of his lips hooked into a wicked arc again.

“Bo Bo Si, Father God also said that next time you encounter this kind of thing, don’t dig out your own heart, find someone else’s heart to dig. Find someone with two hearts to dig, if neither works, why do you have to take your own apart?”

“Oh, Father God is above.” Nan Sheng slapped her forehead, “You put a knife on Father God’s neck, and Father God wouldn’t say such a thing.”

“Okay. I admit I added this part myself. But you can dig someone else’s heart in the future, I’ll give you a list, you can dig in order.” Yu Li shook his head, seemingly regretfully.

“Do you believe that if you dare to fool Bo Bo Snake again, I’ll dig out your heart first.” Nan Sheng showed a dangerous smile, the nails on her fingers becoming sharp in an instant.

“…” It seems that there is only one reliable snake companion.

Ji Mo An hugged the snake and looked speechlessly at the two bosses who had escalated from arguing to bickering, and then looked at the other bosses around who were buried in hard eating and didn’t care about external affairs.

It seems that only that boss is reliable.

Is that right?
