Chapter 202: 201, Flame Snake

"Let me have a look!" Luo Shu reached out for the cage Mo Shaoze was holding, carefully examining the snake inside before opening the cage and reaching in to grab it.

"Be careful, that snake is poisonous!" Mo Shaoze exclaimed in alarm. He hadn’t expected Luo Shu to be so bold as to dare to catch the snake herself. With its vibrant colors, it was definitely venomous. Even though she was a divine doctor, getting bitten would still be an unpleasant experience.

After capturing the snake, it immediately coiled around Luo Shu’s wrist and affectionately rubbed its head against the palm of her hand.

"Do you want to follow me from now on?" Luo Shu lightly tapped the little snake’s head with her finger and asked with a chuckle. This snake must also be a spirit snake, just right to keep Xiao Qing company.

The little snake tilted its head in thought, then nodded. It sensed an aroma from this human that it liked.

"It can understand you?" Mo Shaoze looked at Luo Shu holding the little snake with a face full of disbelief.

"I guess so," Luo Shu smiled. Spirit snakes are usually sentient, after all.

"This snake is really smart! Let me play with it for a bit." Mo Shaoze reached out with a look of interest. Since the snake was sentient, it probably wouldn’t bite.

As soon as Mo Shaoze’s hand approached, the little snake immediately took up a defensive posture.

Withdrawing his hand that was almost bitten, Mo Shaoze looked at the snake in Luo Shu’s hand with a face full of frustration, "This must be a male snake, otherwise why would it only like beauties?"

The little snake seemed to understand Mo Shaoze’s words and disdainfully glanced at him before lazily winding itself around Luo Shu’s wrist.

"Damn! Did you see that? It actually looked at me with disdain. Luo Shu, if you give it to me, I refuse to believe I can’t tame it," Mo Shaoze said with an unconvinced face. He had actually been scorned by a snake.

Once again, the little snake looked at Mo Shaoze with disdain and lazily turned its head away.

"I really don’t believe this!" Mo Shaoze reached out, trying to catch the snake, but was stopped by Lu Hanmo’s firm grip on his wrist.

"Don’t be so childish," Lu Hanmo said in a cool voice. Although the snake was still young, it was a spirit snake, and for a normal person to be bitten would definitely be a very painful experience.

Feeling somewhat petulant, Mo Shaoze sheepishly withdrew his hand and put it on Lu Hanmo’s shoulder, "Let’s go drink instead." He had been just finding the moment amusing, never truly intending to pick a fight with a snake.

Luo Shu smiled and shook her head, walking towards the cabin.

Xiao Qing was lazily sunbathing and quickly swam over to Luo Shu as she entered, displaying a touch of surprise in its eyes upon seeing the little snake in her hand, "Master, where did you find this flame snake?"

"Flame Snake?" Luo Shu looked at the little snake on her wrist.

"Yes, the Flame Snake is not just a snake, but also a kind of fire. However, since it’s still young, it’s indeterminate which type of fire it belongs to," Xiao Qing explained.

Luo Shu nodded in understanding and placed the Flame Snake by the edge of the Spiritual Spring. With a slip, the Flame Snake dove into the spring. Right now, whether she was practicing alchemy or making talismans, her skill level was too low, and even with the Flame Snake, it wouldn’t be of much use to her.

"Master! I’m hungry!" Xiao Qing swam to Luo Shu’s feet and looked up at her ingratiatingly.

Luo Shu gave Xiao Qing a speechless stare, "Didn’t I give you several last time?"

"I’ve finished eating, I’m growing, so I need to eat a bit more."

"..." This foodie can really eat!

"I need to be strong so I can help Master fight the bad guys," Xiao Qing said, rolling its round eyes expectantly as it looked at Luo Shu.

Luo Shu smiled and shook her head as she took out a Medium Grade Spirit Stone and five Low Grade Spirit Stones and tossed them to Xiao Qing.

Xiao Qing opened its mouth wide and swallowed two Low Grade Spirit Stones in one gulp, narrowing its eyes with satisfaction. "Master! Xiao Qing is going to cultivate," it said, before sliding into the Spiritual Spring with the remaining Spirit Stones in its mouth.

Luo Shu smiled and turned to walk towards the palace.

The journey that followed went very smoothly, and in less than four days, everyone had returned to Cloud City.

Luo Shu did not return to the training camp with Lu Hanmo. With only ten days left until the New Year, she had already promised Lu Hanmo that she would go to the Lu family with him to celebrate the New Year after his break. She would visit the Divine Doctor Family after the holiday.

Parting with Lu Hanmo with reluctance, Luo Shu drove towards her home. The car was a gift from Liu Changhe as a token of thanks on behalf of the Guard District. With the car, she would find it more convenient to get around.

Pushing open the courtyard gate, Luo Shu entered and saw that the doors inside were all tightly shut.

She walked up, pushed the doors open, and entered the house to see a thin layer of dust that had accumulated on the table, clearly indicating it had been a long time since anyone lived there. It seemed Luo Zheng had gone back to the countryside.

Luo Shu picked up a rag from the side and began to clean.

Footsteps sounded from outside, followed by Qin Che’s voice entering the house, "Sister Luo Shu! Is it you who’s come back?"

Possibly due to more social interaction, Qin Che had become much more outgoing.

Luo Shu turned her head and saw Qin Che holding a basket, entering with a look of surprise on his face. Thanks to practicing the Five Animal Frolics, he was no longer as frail as before, and his face had become more delicate and handsome.

"Sister Luo Shu, where have you been for so long?" asked Qin Che. He almost came here every day to check if she had returned.

"I went to take care of some things. Do you know where Xiao Zheng has gone?" Luo Shu pointed to a chair, gesturing for Qin Che to sit down, as she went to hang up the rag on one side.

"A very handsome young man came that day, and with him was a girl who looked somewhat like Luo Zheng. The young man said he was Luo Zheng’s cousin, and he took Luo Zheng with him," Qin Che recounted. He was practicing the Five Animal Frolics with Luo Zheng at the time, so he was very clear about the situation that day. Initially, Luo Zheng was reluctant to go, but the girl called Luo Shan persuaded him.

Luo Shu nodded. Without guessing, she knew the visitor must have been Song Xiran. She just didn’t expect that he would take Luo Shan and Luo Zheng back to the Song Family.

"Luo Zheng said he would be back soon and asked me to tell you. He also asked me to tell you that he would not share the skills you taught him with anyone else, so you can rest assured!" Qin Che relayed the message Luo Zheng had asked him to pass on to Luo Shu.

Luo Shu smiled indifferently. The Cultivation Technique she had taught Luo Zheng was just a general one to strengthen the body, which would only be effective with long-term commitment. With the Song Family’s current strength, they wouldn’t take interest in such techniques.

"Sister Luo Shu, this is the New Year’s cake my father asked me to bring you. Remember to eat it, I need to go back now," Qin Che said as he got up, pointing to the basket on the table. There wasn’t much else in their home to offer, but they could afford to give away the New Year’s cake.
