In Ouyang Mingzhu's boudoir in Chen Prefecture City, Ouyang Mingzhu was still awake after a tiring day. She was deep in thought. Her father had fallen ill. The doctor said that he could only last for seven days at most. Now that the notice had been posted, there were only six days left after tonight. Would anyone really be able to save her father? Although mother passed away early on, father never let me suffer any grievances. In the past, father took on all the matters at home and outside without realizing it. Only when father fell did he realize how hard it was for father.
Her thoughts were so complicated that the girl could not fall asleep. She sat down and held her cheek with one hand in a daze.
At this moment, the door opened and a servant girl came in.""Miss." Ouyang Mingzhu stood up anxiously and asked,"What's wrong? "Is there something wrong with my father…" The servant girl said,"I don't know."No, Miss, Old Master hasn't woken up yet. I'm here to tell Miss that it's already four o'clock. Go to bed early.”
Ouyang Mingzhu heaved a sigh of relief." Thank you. It's alright. I'm not sleepy yet. You can go to sleep first."”The servant girl bowed and left. Ouyang Mingzhu sat down again and fell into deep thought. As she thought about it, she felt extremely helpless. Suddenly, a pair of eyes filled with pity flashed across her eyes. Ouyang Mingzhu's body trembled as she muttered to herself,"Why did you think of him?" Thinking of Zhao Mo's embarrassed expression and his figure that was running away, he smiled.""However, he's really an interesting person.”She felt much better now. She got up and went to bed. Surprisingly, she fell asleep very quickly. However, in her dream, she could see those eyes looking at her gently and tenderly.
Zhao Mo didn't know that he had quietly entered a person's dream. He was frustrated. After searching for an entire night, it was in vain. No one would be able to feel nothing. Facing the morning sun, Zhao Mo stood on the hillside and looked down. There was a huge village below."Blindly searching like this is definitely not a solution. The villagers here might know where to find the yao.”
Raising his spirits, Zhao Mo walked down the hill and entered the village. He saw a man carrying a basket on his back. Zhao Mo walked up and bowed."Big brother, if you're not busy, can I ask you a few questions?”For a moment, Zhao Mo felt like he was an official who was investigating in the countryside.
"It's fine," the man said with a smile."If you have any questions, just ask."”
"What village is this?" Zhao Mo asked.”
"This is Coiling Snake Village," the man replied.
Zhao Mo's heart skipped a beat and he hurriedly asked,""Is there a reason why it is called Coiling Snake Village?”
The man laughed," You're so unreasonable. Coiling Snake Village is Coiling Snake Village. There's no need for a reason. I still don't know why I'm called Zhang Daniu."”
Just as Zhao Mo was feeling disappointed, the man said,""However, there is a reason for the name of Coiling Snake Village.”
Zhao Mo secretly hated the man for panting so much as he spoke. He quickly asked,"What is the reason?"
"According to the legend of the village elders, there is a snake demon with boundless magical powers near the village," said the man. Therefore, the village was named Coiling Snake Village.”
"Snake Demon?" Zhao Mo was overjoyed. He searched everywhere and found everything without any effort. He didn't expect that not only would he find a demon, but he would also find a snake demon of the same kind. On the account that they were of the same kind, how could the snake demon not help?
The man looked at the excited Zhao Mo in confusion and asked,""I wonder why little brother is so happy to have a snake demon?”
Zhao Mo hurriedly suppressed his excitement and said carefully,""I have been very interested in the stories and legends of the people since I was young, so when I heard what big brother said just now, I couldn't help but be excited.”
The man was relieved and said," I didn't expect you to have such a hobby…En, elegance. I admire you, I admire you. Then, I still have to go to the market. Goodbye."”
Zhao Mo hurriedly pulled the man back." Big Brother, wait a moment. Can you tell me where the snake demon is?"”
The man laughed loudly." Rumors are just rumors. If there really was a snake demon near the village, then how could our village still be here? We would have long turned into food for the snake demon." Little brother, you don't have to take this rumor to heart.”He probably couldn't bear to see Zhao Mo's disappointed look, so he said,""Little brother, if you want to know more about the legend of this snake demon, you might as well go to the village chief. The village chief is the oldest person in the village, so he should know more about this legend.”
Zhao Mo asked for the direction of the village chief's house and bid farewell to the man. He arrived at the village chief's house and met him.
Zhao Mo explained the details to the village chief. The village chief smiled and said,"It's just a rumor passed down by the elders. How can we believe it?”Zhao Mo begged again and again, but Village Chief could not help but say,""Since that's the case, there's no harm in telling you. It was rumored that one of the ancestors of the village was hunting on the mountain between the village and Chen Zhou. He saw a snake transform into a human under the starry sky and was terrified. Later, he went back to the village and told the villagers that they were afraid of the snake demon. They gathered money and went to the city to invite a mage to catch the demon on the mountain.”
Seeing Village Chief shake his head and smile, Zhao Mo said anxiously,""And then? Did you catch the snake demon?"
"What snake demon?" Village Chief asked. Everyone searched the entire mountain and found many snakes, but they did not see any snake demons. It was probably because that senior was seeing things at night.”
"Which mountain did the ancestor say the snake demon was found on?" Zhao Mo asked. Can you tell me?"
"Let me think, it seems to be…oh, yes, it's the Green Ridge Mountain near Chen Prefecture City. That's right, it's the Green Ridge Mountain."”
"Oh, so it's Qing Ling Mountain. Okay, thank you, old man.”Zhao Mo said excitedly. He turned around and was about to leave when his expression suddenly changed. He turned around and said,"Old man, are you sure you didn't remember wrongly?”
The village chief was annoyed and said," How can I remember wrongly? Don't underestimate my memory. It must be Qing Ling Mountain."”
Zhao Mo wanted to cry but had no tears. He turned around and left the village chief's house, not noticing that the village chief was still mumbling,"That's right, it's Mount Qing Ling. Strange, are there many people interested in snake demons now? Last night, there was also a pretty girl in purple who came to ask me the same question as you. Then, she left in a hurry. I don't know if there was a girl outside in the middle of the night..."
Zhao Mo smiled bitterly as he walked." Mount Qing Ling, damn. I was at Mount Qing Ling the moment I arrived in this world. So this snake demon isn't a legend. Unfortunately, it's me. I've been happy for nothing." What should he do now? Could it be that Miss Ouyang had to directly prepare for the funeral?”When he thought of Ouyang Mingzhu, he was annoyed and let his imagination run wild." Your father has me, a thousand-year-old snake demon, to save him. Even if I die, it won't be in vain. It's a pity that I'm a demon and can't even do something as simple as revealing my true form. Otherwise, I'll show my true form in front of the village chief and see if he still believes that there's a snake demon. However, it's more likely that he'll be scared to death... If a small task in the original plot is so difficult to solve, I'll be played to death by Yun Tianhe when he goes down the mountain.”
Zhao Mo was lost in thought when he suddenly smelled a very elegant fragrance and felt a light pat on his shoulder.
Zhao Mo turned around listlessly and asked,""What is it?" He looked up and was stunned.
Standing in front of him was a beautiful girl in purple. Her eyes were like stars, her eyebrows were like a breeze, her nose was like a mountain, and her red lips were like cherries. She was really beautiful. Zhao Mo was frightened by the young girl's appearance and actually became infatuated.
The girl saw Zhao Mo staring at her blankly and surprisingly not getting angry. She chuckled and said,""Idiot, what are you looking at?"
Zhao Mo was startled awake and immediately felt embarrassed. He didn't want to be rude in front of this young girl and said,"Young miss, you are really as beautiful as a fairy. You really make this one marvel. May I know why young miss called this one over?”
The girl chuckled and asked instead of answering Zhao Mo's question,""Am I very beautiful?"
"Beautiful," Zhao Mo replied without hesitation,"I've never seen such beauty before."”
The young girl looked at Zhao Mo with a smile and said,""But someone keeps saying that I'm ugly, making me very sad?”
"You said that Miss is ugly?" Zhao Mo said indignantly in disbelief. This person's eyesight was really incredible. Could he be blind? If Miss went to the streets and asked anyone, as long as they were not blind, no one would say that Miss was ugly.”
"In my heart, I only care about what that person thinks of me. No matter how others praise me, what does it have to do with me?" The young girl shook her head.”After saying that, she looked at Zhao Mo in a daze. After a while, her eyes actually turned red.
Zhao Mo felt uncomfortable under the girl's gaze and was secretly shocked."No way. Looking at this beauty, could she be the lover of this snake demon before I came here?”His heart raced. He probed," Miss, I've hit my head recently. I can't remember a lot of things. Did I know you before?"”
The young girl was startled." No," she thought for a moment." Today is the first time you've seen me."”
Zhao Mo heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that he was being overly sentimental. He was a little jealous."Such a beautiful girl. I wonder which scumbag got her? He doesn't know what's good for him. He actually said that she's ugly. If I could find someone like her, I would be so happy.”Thinking about it later, he felt a little regretful that the girl was not the snake demon's original lover.
Although the young lady was beautiful, Zhao Mo was still concerned about saving Ouyang Mingzhu's father. He did not want to delay any longer. "Then may I know why Young Lady called me over?" Zhao Mo asked.”
"I heard you're looking for a snake demon, right?"”
Zhao Mo nodded." That's right. I'm looking for a snake demon. What can I do for you, Miss?"”
The girl giggled." I know where to find the snake demon. Do you want to know?"”
Zhao Mo replied," Miss, you're late. I already know where to find it. Isn't it…"
"I'm not talking about the snake demon from Qing Ling Mountain.”The girl quickly interrupted.
