‘Master, master please come back quickly and take me away!’

Feng Ruqing approached Qing Zhu with a sly smile. “Little snakie, I know you have missed me but you don’t have to act like this. Look, I have come here to see you, haven’t I?

Although the maiden was smiling, it did not appear so in Qing Zhu’s eyes. To him, she seemed to be looking at a steaming plate of food.

At this moment, Feng Ruqing’s stomach rumbled loudly.

She rubbed her stomach subconsciously and sighed. “I have been eating excessively these past few years. However, suddenly abstaining myself from eating meat and cutting down on rice has made me feel hungry now.”

Qing Zhu shrieked and immediately slithered up a tree. It shivered while it hid among the lush green leaves.

As what he had expected, the woman was hungry. That was why she was coming after him. She wanted to eat him!

Feng Ruqing was in a daze. She had been… nice and kind just now. Why was Qing Zhu terrified of her… like he had just seen a man-eating devil?

Was she that scary?

“Qing Zhu, come down please. Let’s have a chat,” Feng Ruqing said, frowning.

Qing Zhu replied in a trembling voice, “No, I won’t go down. Come up if you can!”

Feng Ruqing looked at her own obese body and then glanced at the giant tree. Her face darkened. “You come down here!”

“No, I refuse to go down! I refuse to leave this tree!”

It would rather die on this tree than face the terrifying human being!

Feng Ruqing winked. “I brought you some snacks.”

“No!” The azure snake rejected it firmly. “I would rather die on this tree than leave here just for some snacks! Princess, you can just give it up.”

“Oh, really?” Feng Ruqing squinted and smirked. “Then, I’ll tell the state preceptor that you’ve bullied me once he returns.”

“…”

Qing Zhu was totally dumbfounded. This human… how could she be so shameless? If its master believed her words, then… it would end up as snake soup for real!

“How could you be this outrageous?” Qing Zhu cried, feeling aggrieved.

This bastard was too intimidating for a snake…

“Come down now!” Feng Ruqing requested again.

Qing Zhu looked at Feng Ruqing with extreme fear but finally it gave up and slithered down the tree slowly until it was before Feng Ruqing.

“Snake soup is not delicious at all. Moreover, I am venomous.” Qing Zhu did not dare to get too close to Feng Ruqing but it still wanted to reassure her.

Feng Ruqing grinned mischievously and said, “It’s alright. I have my own way to neutralize the venom. Moreover, snake soup is a very good tonic as my father’s health supplement.

“…”

Qing Zhu’s heart almost stopped beating.

As expected, this human still insisted on eating the snake!

“I am getting older, my meat is old and chewy. So, it isn’t good for digestion. Not a good idea.”

“Nevermind, my father’s teeth are still strong so he still can chew.”

“…”

Qing Zhu was left speechless. It stayed silent for a moment before crying and pleading, “Princess, exactly what do you want to do? Can’t you just get straight to the point? No matter what, I am still the state preceptor’s pet. So you have to give him face. If you eat me today, how could you sleep with the state preceptor in the future?”

“Does it mean that I will be able to sleep with the state preceptor if I do not make snake soup?”

Qing Zhu nodded desperately. “Of course. With my help, you will definitely be able to sleep with my master. So sparing my life will be useful to you. If you eat me, who will be your aide?”
