After Being Abducted and Raised by A Snake

“Why is there a soul-chasing lock on your body?” Xuan Ming took off Wan Zhong’s hat and placed his slender, cold palm on Wan Zhong’s forehead. When he took it away, there was a faint red-light symbol in his hand.

If he looked closely, he could see that it was himself who placed the lock.

Xuan Ming couldn’t understand at all why he wanted to give Wan Zhong a soul-chasing lock. No matter what it attached to, the person could be found in heaven or on earth, even if he died and went to hell.

And apart from the caster, no other person could take it off.

From a certain perspective, soul chasing lock was a one-sided blood contract, which was harmful to Taoism and did not conform to the right path of cultivating immortals.

Xuan Ming looked at Wan Zhong as if he was looking at some big issue of right and wrong.

He wondered if his original self really liked this man? Liking to the point of paranoia? Disobeying the teachings of the Emperor of Heaven and giving him a Soul-Chasing Lock?

No way… his Taoist heart had always been very firm, and he always kept in mind the teachings from Heavenly Emperor, and he had practiced very hard and diligently. How could he go against his original intention of cultivating immortality and make such a low-level mistake just because of love?

To attain enlightenment and become an immortal was his dream all along! How could he make an exception casually for other reasons?

Xuan Ming felt his past self was not like himself, and his eyes turned cold unconsciously when he looked at Wan Zhong. It was as if he was looking at a stumbling block that almost tripped him to death.

Wan Zhong’s eyes were full of tears, and he remembered the agreement with the Emperor of Heaven again.

——the Heavenly Emperor sent him home and punished Bai Tianxian to give him justice. Accordingly, he must also jump into the Huangliang Well obediently, let go of everything he has with Xuan Ming, and not become an obstacle on his path to immortality.

At that time, Wan Zhong agreed to the Heavenly Emperor’s proposal without even thinking about it.

In addition to wanting to go home and take revenge, the most important thing was what the Emperor of Heaven said: “Xuan Ming has been practicing for tens of millions of years, just for today. Do you think it is okay for him to be trapped by the seven emotions and six desires, and then all his previous efforts will be wasted and destroyed at this last moment?”

Wan Zhong didn’t want to.

Because what was love? If he put it on the scale, he wouldn’t be able to get even a grain of rice.

He agreed to give up the past with Xuan Ming, let the Heavenly Emperor take away Xuan Ming’s magic power from the snake fetus in his belly, jumped into the Huangliang Well under the Naihe Bridge, and regarded everything as a fever dream.

He just didn’t expect that the mirror would jump down with him at the last moment.

The snake fetus was still there, and so was his memory.

But the stubborn Xuan Ming who liked him 100% and loved him would never come back in this life…

Wan Zhong thought since Xuan Ming just came to look for the mirror and didn’t think of himself, then it was better to part here. Nothing good would come in this relationship, so why bother.

Anyway, even if they stayed together, he was a mortal and his lifespan was only a few decades. Let alone whether he could spend a lifetime with Xuan Ming. Just thinking about the wrinkles covering his face after more than ten years, and Xuan Ming would remain the same, he would feel so sad.

.

The still time flew again, and Xuan Ming disappeared into the beautiful sunset with the mirror.

Wan Zhong squatted in the corridor of the hospital and cried until he was out of breath. At the same time, he was happy that Xuan Ming left and their separation was actually decent. On the one hand, he was very angry and scolded him over and over again: “Scumbag! From now on, I will never like you again.”

At the same time, he regretted it, it would be better if the mirror did not accompany him to jump into the Huangliang Well. So that he didn’t remember anything, and there was no need to be so sad and painful.

The doctor placed the payment form and discharge procedures on the chair near Wan Zhong, moved his lips but said nothing, sighed heavily and turned around to leave.

Wan Zhong stood up staggeringly while holding on to the wall. He didn’t know whether to pick up his brother or his grandfather first. He saw the ceiling shaking non-stop, and a bouquet of fiery long-stemmed roses was fell into his unprepared arms.

Wan Zhong was stunned, it was the flowers Xuan Ming often gave when he was on a deserted island.

He looked up, and sure enough it was Xuan Ming who had gone and returned.

“Do you like it?”

Xuan Ming spit out the snake tongue in the frozen time, looked at Wan Zhong with burning eyes and said: “I look in the mirror, every time I send you these flowers, you will smile.”

Wan Zhong couldn’t laugh, he was choking with sobs, he said, “What are you doing here again?”

“Because you are here.”

“So what? Haven’t you forgot about me?”

Xuan Ming wondered: “If I forget you, can I no longer like you?”

Wan Zhong frowned: “So you fall in love with me again in such a short period of time? Xuan Ming! Why are you so careless!”

Wan Zhong hated being hasty. Because careless love came quickly and went away faster.

But Xuan Ming didn’t think so.

The black snake demon said very straightforwardly: “The first time I saw you, I wanted to take you back to the demon realm, hug you and wrap my tail around you. This kind of love is the first time in thousands of years.”

After speaking, he retorted: “So it’s not hasty at all.”

Wan Zhong looked at him blankly, as if he had gone back to the first time, he heard this in the snake’s nest. They were exactly the same, even their expressions and eyes were similar.

Wan Zhong suddenly felt that Xuan Ming had not changed. No matter whether he remembered him or not, he was always so sincere, passionate and straightforward in front of him.

There was a sense of fatalistic romance lingering in his heart.

It implied that even if Xuan Ming forgot, when they met again, he would still fall in love with Wan Zhong at first sight, unswervingly choose him, recognize him, like him and love him as before.

Wan Zhong’s eyes were filled with tears and his heart was beating violently.

Xuan Ming looked at Wan Zhong’s wet eyes and thought when he looked like this in the mirror, he was always under him, and his thoughts lost all morals for a moment…

Note

Aww… anyway, whenever Xuan Ming appeared in the mortal world, he freezes time so no one would see him because he shouldn’t be there at all.
