In order to take care of the snake baby, the family of three left the damp and dark Leifeng Pagoda and returned to their ancestral home in Lin’an, where they moved the child to a warm and comfortable nest.
Every day, Bai Sijin made vegetable and meatballs for the snake baby and also made sure to feed the child’s mother until she was full.
In comparison to the child’s father, Xu Xuancao always felt inadequate and decided to personally cook a table full of decent dishes.
After the child’s father tasted them first to ensure they were safe, he fed the food to the snake baby.
The little white snake slid around the dining table, playing with a chopstick that was only slightly thinner than itself, enjoying the fun.
“Little White, take a bite,” Xu Xuancao picked up a chopstick and fed a piece of braised pork to the mouth of the little white snake.
The little white snake raised half of its body and squinted its eyes, staring at the greasy braised pork, hesitating.
Xu Xuancao squinted and smiled, “Good boy, try what Mommy made.”
Encouraged by her mother, the little white snake bit into the braised pork and swallowed it in one gulp.
The little white snake: “…”
The braised pork got stuck in its snake belly, and even its tail stiffened.
Xu Xuancao said, “Is it delicious? Have another piece.”
The little white snake spat out the braised pork and, driven by its strong survival instinct, shook its tail and ran away.
“Little White, where are you going?” Xu Xuancao called out and then turned to Bai Sijin, asking, “Child’s father, is the food really bad?”
She had tasted it herself and thought the taste was decent, although nowhere near Bai Sijin’s meatballs.
Bai Sijin sat and drank his soup, lifting his gaze to give her a smile. “I love everything you make.”
Xu Xuancao tilted her head and kissed him on the cheek, then went outside to comfort the snake baby.
The little white snake wasn’t in the courtyard; it was probably out playing alone.
Xu Xuancao arrived at a nearby forest, picked up a stick, and pushed through the bushes while calling out, “Little White, come out, let’s go home with Mommy!”
Rustle, rustle.
In the grass, a round white head emerged, with black bean eyes looking at its mother. It raised its long, slender white jade tail, looking silly and adorable.
Xu Xuancao’s heart melted upon seeing the snake baby and she bent down, approaching him. “Baby, come to Mommy.”
The little white snake jumped into the palm of her hand, slid along her arm, and affectionately rubbed against her face, hissing softly.
If he could speak, he would definitely be calling out “Mommy, Mommy.”
Xu Xuancao kissed the snake’s little head. “Good baby, let’s go home with Mommy. Daddy is still waiting for us.”
The little white snake yawned and curled up in her pocket. It accompanied her with every step, swaying and sleeping soundly.
In the forest, a figure dressed in white hair and blue daoist robes suddenly appeared, slowly turning to face Xu Xuancao.
As the dawn penetrated the leaves, casting patchy shadows, the atmosphere became suffocating.
Xu Xuancao’s breath hitched, her palm gently pressing against her pocket as she called out, “Master.”
She had expected him to come knocking, but she didn’t anticipate it would be so soon.
Yun Yu’s elegant figure hid within the darkness, his sharp and slender eyes carefully observing her. “Xuancao, aren’t you dealing with Su Jin? Isn’t he trapped under Leifeng Pagoda by you now?”
Xu Xuancao’s throat felt dry, and she silently lowered her head without saying a word.
Yun Yu furrowed his brow and asked again, “Why aren’t you speaking?”
Xu Xuancao could feel the restlessness of the snake baby squirming, and with determination, she decided to make things clear with her master.
Facing Yun Yu, she calmly said, “Master, I have reconciled with him.”
Yun Yu’s expression turned cold as he questioned, “Didn’t you cultivate the Heartless Path? Why did you still develop emotions?”
Xu Xuancao replied, “He broke through my Heartless Path.”
Yun Yu approached with large strides, gripping her wrist and pressing his fingers against her pulse. In an instant, his elegant appearance turned ferocious.
“You wicked disciple! You repeatedly defy the sect for the sake of a demon!”
Xu Xuancao said, “I have just come to a realization. Cultivating the Heartless Path was never my own desire. Currently, the only thing I want, the only thing on my mind, is to live a good life with my husband in Lin’an.”
“Live a good life? Very well, very well!” Yun Yu chuckled madly, completely devoid of the demeanor of a sect master. “All my efforts were in vain!”
Xu Xuancao felt overwhelming guilt and knelt down, kowtowing to him. “I hope Master can grant me this.”
“I grant you? Who will grant me?” Yun Yu’s palm turned into a blade as he ruthlessly slapped her shoulder.
Xu Xuancao was caught off guard and instantly felt dizzy, collapsing to the ground.
“Heh, my obedient disciple, in the future, I will personally teach you a lesson,” he said.
