Chapter 11

Ji Yuebai, flowing with the moment, delicately brushed a lock of hair from her ear with her jade-like fingers. She gently tilted her head down, her cherry-pink lips parting slightly to reveal a hint of rosy tongue. She cautiously approached the chicken leg Xu Nian offered, taking a tiny nibble.

Xu Nian, with her dark, gleaming eyes, didn’t blink as she watched her, thinking to herself that at this slow, deliberate pace Ji Yuebai was eating, the food would be cold by the time she finished.

See, she took a bite, and it was merely a scratch on the surface of the chicken leg.

In her boredom, Xu Nian used her tail to carefully bring the food, piece by piece, to Ji Yuebai’s lips, watching her petal-like lips glisten with oil, her delicate tongue softly licking her lower lip…

To be honest, watching Ji Yuebai eat was somehow mesmerizing. It made sense why ancient poets said that beauty could be as delightful as a meal. A warm feeling of contentment grew in Xu Nian’s heart, reminiscent of the time in her previous life when she fed a beautiful stray cat, feeling warm and happy seeing it eat so delightfully.

Ji Yuebai didn’t eat much, even less than what Xu Nian could swallow in one bite, before modestly indicating she was full.

Xu Nian had been waiting for this moment for a long time. She looked at Ji Yuebai and coyly asked, “Are you sure you’re not going to eat the rest?”

Ji Yuebai simply nodded.

Excitement surged in Xu Nian; it was time for her to show off her unique skill. With a swift movement of her tail, she flung the roast suckling pig on the table, along with its large tray, into the air. The tray and the roast pig separated beautifully in mid-air before both free-falling.

Now was the moment. Xu Nian leapt up, opened her mouth wide, and swallowed the roast pig in one gulp, while the plate landed right side up on the table. Her subsequent moves were as smooth as flowing water, continuously using her tail to flick the dishes into the air. The food that flew up didn’t go to waste but landed in Xu Nian’s stomach, while the plates neatly stacked themselves together.

Ji Yuebai, witnessing the entire spectacle, remained expressionless, though her eyes betrayed a gradual shift from calmness to shock.

Having accomplished a clean sweep of the feast, Xu Nian patted her round belly and lounged back in her chair, even letting out a contented burp.

And Ji Yuebai’s look towards her had gone through several changes, now filled with admiration.

…

After a hearty meal, Xu Nian, feeling stuffed, suggested to Ji Yuebai that they take a stroll to help digest the food.

After all, besides being her savior, Ji Yuebai was also her beautiful pet in human form, a disguised human mount… she wore many hats, so to speak.

Since Xu Nian, in her snake form, desired to join the hustle and bustle of the streets, she relied on Ji Yuebai.

Fortunately, the current Ji Yuebai, while still maintaining an unapproachable and indifferent exterior, is actually quite obedient when interacting with Xu Nian.

This time, Xu Nian wrapped herself around Ji Yuebai’s hairpin, intending to disguise herself as an ornament on it, simply because her previous hiding spot in the clothing limited her view, making it rather dull as she could only see the fronts and backs of passersby.

Xu Nian led Ji Yuebai to look in the bronze mirror from various angles, and surprisingly, at first glance, she really did resemble a vividly carved jade snake, lifelike as she coiled around the pin. Paired with the rustic wooden hairpin, it even added a touch of enigmatic charm.
