Chapter 389: Chapter 388: Still Not Enough Wool to Pluck? Chapter 389: Chapter 388: Still Not Enough Wool to Pluck? Lei Qiu had never seen the Snake King of the Snake Cave, but he had heard many things about it.
For instance, the only two-headed snake in the Snake Cave had a mutated bloodline.
This Snake King, despite being only twenty to thirty centiters in size, was extraordinarily fierce and was said to be several hundred years old.
Crucially, no one from the Lei Family had ever managed to subdue the Snake King over these hundreds of years.
Therefore, subduing the Snake King of the Snake Cave had always been a goal for the ambitious mbers of the Lei Family.
Although Lei Qiu’s talents and strength were average, he had also dread of subduing the Snake King.
His father had also co to the Snake Cave many tis when he was young, trying to subdue the Snake King, but had always returned disappointed and had yet to give up.
His grandfather and others had done the sa.
Yet the famously aloof Snake King was now coiling around Luo Ning’s wrist, continuously rubbing against her hand affectionately.
Lei Qiu wondered if his eyes were deceiving him, so he rubbed his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, he found the scene unchanged.
He couldn’t help but turn to his father and ask, “Dad, how can the Snake King be so close to Luo Ning?”
Lei Lifei felt like smacking his son against the wall right then, “It’s all because of the trouble you caused.”
He couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to his foolish son anymore and looked at Luo Ning with disbelief, asking, “Did you subdue it?”
Luo Ning gently flicked the snake’s head, “Yes, it has acknowledged as its master.”
Lei Lifei was speechless—it was true.
“This is our Lei Family’s Snake King,” he emphasized through gritted teeth.
Their Snake King, which no one from the Lei Family had been able to subdue for hundreds of years, had been subdued by Luo Ning, a foreign girl, in just two days.
He couldn’t believe such a thing himself, yet he had seen it with his own eyes.
It was a great embarrassnt for their Lei Family, too embarrassing.
Luo Ning lifted her wrist and said with a smile, “Then you call it and see if it responds.”
Lei Lifei was speechless—if he could call it and it would respond, wouldn’t he have subjugated this traitorous little thing long ago?
He said, “Luo Ning, this is the Lei Family’s Snake King from the Snake Cave, you can’t take it away.”
Luo Ning shrugged, “I didn’t say I wanted to take it away!”
Lei Lifei was stunned, “You’re not planning to take it away?”
Just when he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Luo Ning said, “Right, but if it insists on following , then there’s nothing I can do.”
As soon as her words fell, the snake on her wrist rubbed against her, then with a pair of cold eyes, it looked at Lei Lifei, sticking out its tongue and hissing.
The Lei Family, among the Fengshui aristocratic families, primarily dealt with Gu Worms, with snakes being the most commonly used.
Therefore, anyone who wasn’t too weak or who had studied this technique could communicate with snakes.
Lei Lifei, who had ascended to the position of the Family Head and was now the acting Family Head, naturally wasn’t weak in talent or strength.
He also understood what the Snake King ant.
The Snake King said that Luo Ning was its chosen master, that she was a once-in-a-century talent, and it would definitely follow her.
If Lei Lifei didn’t allow it to follow Luo Ning, it would make all the snakes in the Snake Cave revolt, escape from the Lei Family’s island, and disappear.
None of the younger generation of the Lei Family would ever be able to ta and use snakes.
Lei Lifei felt like vomiting blood—where was this a snake? It was more like an ungrateful wolf!
For all these hundreds of years, the Lei Family had fed it plenty of good things, yet it had rebelled in just two days.
Did Luo Ning really have such great charm?
He also rembered sothing—Luo Yicheng had also broken into the Lei Family’s Snake Cave before, and this traitorous little thing seed to have been moved at that ti.
Although it hadn’t been subdued by Luo Yicheng, it had ended up giving him several very precious snake eggs and an ancient Snake Grass.
“They suffer so much, the Lei Family, encountering such a shaless father and daughter pair.”
Luo Ning could easily see Lei Lifei’s anger and intentions.
She spoke, “Xiao Jin told that although you have fed it many good things over the centuries, it has cultivated a massive Snake Cave for the Lei Family.”
Xiao Jin was the na the Snake King had given itself, as previously told to Luo Ning.
“So, you still made a profit.”
The Snake King, hissing its tongue, imdiately agreed with Luo Ning.
It even poked a few holes in Lei Lifei’s heart, saying that if the people of the Lei Family weren’t so useless, it wouldn’t have stayed single this long.
Now that it finally found an owner it liked and acknowledged, the Lei Family better not think about ruining it.
Originally, it had voluntarily followed the Lei Family’s ancestors here to settle down, and it didn’t owe the Lei Family anything. Instead, it had helped the Lei Family raise hundreds of thousands of snakes and many other treasures.
It had also assisted the Lei Family in cultivating secret techniques; so, looking at it this way, it was actually the one at a loss.
Then it complained and expressed dissatisfaction towards Lei Lifei.
It was as if Lei Lifei dared say anything bad about it, the Snake King would leap over and bite soone.
Lei Lifei: “…”
This snake must have gained spiritual intelligence, knowing so much.
He couldn’t help but look skeptically towards Luo Ning, implying: It couldn’t be your doing, right?
Luo Ning rolled her eyes, “Lei Lifu thinks too highly of . I only t it today; it wasn’t my teaching.”
It was just that this little creature was truly cunning.
She countered, “It’s already developed spiritual intelligence, and you never noticed?”
Lei Lifei laughed bitterly, “We truly didn’t know that.”
“This guy is usually so aloof, looking down on us, so when we co to the Snake Cave, it usually doesn’t show up.”
Who knew this aloofness was all a facade; today, he felt his grand image of the Snake King completely shattered.
Luo Ranran chid in from the side, jabbing, “Your Lei Family is kind of weak; after all these years, it didn’t even acknowledge you as its master.”
Lei Lifei was going crazy, “I can’t decide on this matter, I need to report it higher up.”
Had this been Luo Ning unilaterally wanting to take the Snake King away, he could have stopped it.
But clearly, the Snake King had latched onto Luo Ning itself; he had no way to stop that.
If the Snake King truly beca furious and let all the snakes from the Snake Cave leave the Lei Family, their loss would be heavy.
The Array set up in the Snake Cave, along with the secret dicine outside the cave, were no match for the Snake King, who previously stayed in the depths of the Snake Cave by choice.
Luo Ning smiled, “Alright then, I don’t really mind.”
Lei Lifei internally lanted; now that the Snake King had acknowledged you as its master, of course you don’t care.
“Then, Miss Luo and Lady Lou, please leave the Snake Cave and co to the city as guests,” he was already uneasy about letting them stay any longer.
He felt like these two were like ticking ti bombs, ready to explode if not watched closely.
Luo Ning and Luo Ranran also sensed that Lei Lifei wouldn’t let them stay longer, so they looked at the Snake Cave with a hint of regret before standing up, “Alright then.”
It’s a pity they couldn’t take it too far, otherwise they’d have liked to take so rare species with them.
Lei Lifei saw their actions, what was with this regretful expression? Hadn’t they fleeced enough already?
Don’t think he hadn’t seen, apart from the Snake King on Luo Ning’s wrist, the two snakes that Luo Ranran had tad on her wrist were also rare species from the Snake Cave.
Those two had been targeted by several elders for many years, unfortunately never successfully tad.
Today, they all fell into the hands of two young girls.
He couldn’t think about it anymore; the thought was enough to make him vomit blood.
“Please, both of you!”
He gestured invitingly, wishing he could hurry and send them right out of the Snake Cave.
