Chapter 2449: You’re Scaring My Baby
The huge snake lay across the room and exuded a strong fishy stench. Ning Shu glared at it and said, “Hurry up and leave. You’re scaring my baby.”
The snake swept its tail and flipped over the table.
“Sorry, I didn’t mean to do that,” The snake hastily apologized.
“You’d better hurry and leave,” Ning Shu said. “If you stay here, the people from White Cloud Temple will come over and take your snake pearl for their alchemy.”
“I don’t know where to go. They destroyed my nest.”
“What does that have to do with me?” Ning Shu was quite indifferent.
The huge snake: …
“Two-legged monster,” The snake shouted at Ning Shu.
Ning Shu: “You calling me?”
“I’m about to lay eggs.”
Ning Shu: …
“You’re female?”
“After laying eggs, I will become very weak. I won’t be able to deal with those two-legged monsters.”
Speaking of snakes, they also had it hard. Molting and childbirth would weaken them. Only when they truly evolved into flood dragons could they rid themselves of this burden.
“Are you giving me your eggs to make into steamed eggs?” Ning Shu hugged Zhenzhen, not daring to put her down. She was afraid that if she wasn’t paying attention, Zhenzhen would be swallowed by the snake.
Ning Shu pointed at the snake. “It would be best for you not to swallow people. If you do, forget becoming a flood dragon, you won’t have much time left to even be a snake.”
Human beings were a race of great fortune. If a snake ate people, it would suffer when the time came.
The snake gave an ‘oh’ and swept its thick and solid tail. It seemed very embarrassed. “Can you take me in and let me give birth to my babies?”
No, she refused.
Was she going to have to be a midwife again?
She would even be crossing species. Was she going to deliver a baby for a snake now?
Ning Shu was afraid that something like the last delivery would happen again. It would shove its nest of eggs onto her.
“It’s getting bright. Hurry up and leave.” Ning Shu yawned.
“Two-legged monster, I can’t run far. I’m about to give birth. Can’t you give me a place to stay? After I give birth, I’ll leave.”
Ning Shu rolled her eyes. “I already know this pattern. After giving birth, you’ll have to incubate them, and then when the little snakes hatch, you’ll be carrying a large number of children and have no way of leaving.”
Snake: …
The snake also had no other choice. It was already difficult for her to meet a person who wasn’t afraid of her. If she appeared elsewhere, she would certainly cause a riot.
Her cultivation path would be destroyed, and so would her children.
Ning Shu paid attention to one more thing. “You are pregnant, so you should have a husband. Your husband should be the same as you, right?”
“What is a husband?” the snake asked curiously.
Ning Shu: ………………
“Then how did you get pregnant?” Ning Shu asked.
“When the breeding season came, I mated with a male snake. After that, I will lay eggs,” said the snake.
In order not to seem like she was too naïve, Ning Shu very calmly said, “There’s a basement, so you can hide there.”
“Thank you. I’ll repay you later.”
“Zip it. Just stop staring at my child all the time.”
The snake complimented, “Your child is very cute.” She looked very delicious.
The snake slithered across the floor, left the room, and went into the basement.
Ning Shu placed Zhenzhen down and gently patted her chest.
Then she opened the windows to dissipate the smell in the room.
After daybreak, Ning Shu grabbed a chicken and went to the basement to have a look. As soon as she opened it, a strong smell wafted out. Ning Shu waved her hand to clear the smell away and stepped down the ladder.
“For you.” Ning Shu put the chicken on the ground.
The snake swallowed the chicken in one gulp. “I feel like I’m going to give birth soon. My stomach hurts a little.”
Ning Shu reached out and touched the snake’s abdomen. There was a bulge in one part.
