Chapter 267: Chapter 266: Taking You to Flirt with Girls? (23) Chapter 267: Chapter 266: Taking You to Flirt with Girls? (23) “Better safe than sorry. After all, I’ve seen what you’re capable of outside the space. I can’t beat you out there, and if you aren’t honest in here, won’t I suffer greatly? ‘Those of a different kind, can have a different heart.’ Who’s to say you won’t figure out how to restore your mana inside the space one day? Then what will I do?” Su Shu felt there was nothing wrong with being cautious.

Despite the other’s small size, she’d never forgotten the scene when it commanded snakes far and wide across the mountains.

The Little Snake King’s gaze flickered for a moment, then shimmered.

Su Shu’s eyes dimmed. What, had she guessed right?

“You want to restore your mana in my space?” So that’s why you were studying it so vigorously?

“Nonsense!”

“Humph, ‘a guilty conscience needs no accuser.'” Su Shu looked down at the contract tattoo on her wrist, “Since this thing exists, it must have some use, right? Just you wait.”

The Little Snake King’s expression changed dramatically!

It had seen what this woman was capable of, and when she played dirty, it wasn’t supposed to live well!

“Will you confess, or shall I force a confession out of you later? The choice is yours.”

The snake head leaned forward, eyeing the map.

“I’ll help you find out where they are, okay?”

Su Shu scoffed, “Trying to change the subject won’t work. Right now, your problem is much more serious.”

Seeing this, the Little Snake King’s body slumped, and only after a long while did it spit out a word.

“I know what you’re worried about. You’re afraid that if I regain my mana, I might turn against you, right?”

Su Shu remained expressionless.

“You’re overthinking it. After all, I am a Snake King of renowned repute, of noble birth. A word spoken, a splash of water thrown–I can’t harm my own master since I’ve made a contract with you, can I?”

Su Shu said, “There’s an age-old saying: ‘The slave who becomes the master.'”

Little Snake King: Damn…

“I don’t want to regain mana.”

Su Shu raised an eyebrow, “?”

“I want to restore physical strength.”

“What’s the difference?”

The Little Snake King choked with frustration, “I can never have mana in your space, understand? This damned space is too powerful, keeping me more frustrated than the sky is high, so you don’t have to worry!”

Upon hearing this, a stone in Su Shu’s heart quietly fell. Its angry appearance didn’t seem feigned.

As long as it would not cause turbulence in her space in the future, she could be at ease.

“So what’s the deal with your strength?”

“I’m injured.” The Little Snake King said somewhat awkwardly.

Su Shu narrowed her eyes, “Don’t understand.”

She hadn’t seen any injuries, as it was always jumping around chasing chickens and teasing ducks, wasn’t it?

Little Snake King: “I had a fight with that bastard from the Eastern Sea, and I got hurt.”

Su Shu: “…” Come on, keep the story going.

Little Snake King: “…”

After a minute of staring at each other.

The Little Snake King cheerfully raised its tail, “Let’s go back to talking about how to find the location of that young lady, shall we?”

The look Su Shu had given it was as if she were looking at an idiot.

Su Shu tapped her fingers impatiently on the table.

“I’m giving you one last chance.”

The Little Snake King fell silent.

Su Shu was in no hurry, waiting for it to speak.

After a long time.

Finally, the Little Snake King lifted its serious gaze and stared into Su Shu’s eyes.

Then… “You might as well chop me up and make snake soup.”

Su Shu: “…”

Facing someone who didn’t believe the world was a kaleidoscope of wonders, how was it supposed to explain its existence?

Moreover, it couldn’t say it now. Despite how unfriendly this woman was to it, and even though the master-servant contract was made under unequal circumstances, at the end of the day, she was still its contract master.

Despite hiding in her space without mana and being “bullied” by her.

But this place was conducive to healing its injuries, wasn’t it? Just for that chance, it was quite grateful to her.

Exactly because of this, it didn’t want her to risk her life for someone else.

The girl named Bai Qinghuan must have something special about her to connect to Su Shu’s space.

It felt better for Su Shu to not get involved in such dangerous matters.

The Little Snake King said, “Once your space repairs itself, you won’t see her anymore.”

Su Shu said, “I want to know why I can see her.” That was the key issue, wasn’t it?

“She might have something special about her,” it could think of no other explanation. “You want to save her, I get it, but I think, without figuring out why you can see her in your space, it’s better to stay out of it.”

“So you didn’t tell me for three days?”

“Yes.”

After thinking about the Little Snake King’s words for a long time, Su Shu suddenly looked up and asked a seemingly unrelated question.

“Are you male or female?”

“…”
