Closer to My True Form Every Day

By the time the keeper went to check, Feng Yi had already left. Only a few tourists glanced over from a distance, wondering why they didn’t see the albino Burmese python. They had read on the internet that the albino Burmese python, Niu Niu, was very active, but now they couldn’t see see hide nor hair of it. They wanted to take some photos to post on Moments but were disappointed.

The keeper looked at the tourists passing by and felt that none of them seemed capable of making Niu Niu angry. He returned to the back and, after thinking it over, called his colleague in the monitoring department.

“Help me check the surveillance of Niu Niu’s area about two minutes ago and tell me who was outside and what they did.”

The zoo took the sudden emotional change in the albino Burmese python very seriously, and quickly reviewed the security footage to find the reason so they could avoid it next time.

Soon the monitoring department gave a response.

“There was indeed a young man there two minutes ago. He was the only one. He was wearing a mask so we couldn’t see his face, but he didn’t do anything. He just stared at Niu Niu for a long time and even raised his hand to say hello, but then Niu Niu ran away angrily… That’s all, I’ll send it to you to have a look.”

The keeper watched the sent video, and it was indeed as his colleague said. There was no threatening yelling or other misleading behavior.

“That’s strange. Niu Niu was very angry just now, and she still hasn’t calmed down. Could it be the hand raising gesture to say hello? It shouldn’t be.”

The keeper went to the front to check the indoor facilities, and there was no problem with the forest-style mansion.

“That’s so weird.”

While this side was still looking for the reason for the albino Burmese python’s sudden tantrum, Feng Yi had left the snake area to see other reptiles. In comparison, furry animals were much cuter.

Before leaving the zoo, Feng Yi saw that there were albino Burmese python car decorations in those small shops with animal elements. One was particularly interesting. It was made into a tower-like snake-shaped spring, and it swayed from side to side and bounced up and down when flicked. The same model had several different styles. There was the simulated one with fake scales, and the plush style that wasn’t realistic but looked cute. Feng Yi chose the plush style and put it in his car. As he drove home, he saw the snake bouncing up and down.

After solving the problem of his fang venom and visiting the zoo, Feng Yi was in a good mood. He went to a restaurant to have a big meal before going home. Halfway through, he received a call from Wu Ji asking about tea.

“I took the can you gave me last time to my shop. Previously, you said I had to wait two days before drinking it, but I forgot about it for a while. Yesterday, Uncle Liu came to my shop to show me his new catch. He found the can interesting, and since he hadn’t tried the tea before, he asked me to brew some and drink it with him.”

Wu Ji’s tone was excited. “The taste really came out! The aroma was excellent, and most importantly, I felt refreshed after drinking it! All the fatigue washed away! I’m not talking about the kind stimulated by drugs, it’s like getting a good night’s sleep after a hot spring bath and a full body massage, then waking up relaxed and refreshed!”

“In Uncle Liu’s words, drinking the tea felt the same as going to the sauna. He liked to go to the sauna when he was young. Now that he was older, various restrictions had prevented him from going to the sauna often. Every time he came back from fishing, he had to rest for a few days. After drinking this tea yesterday and taking some of the tea leaves with him, he went fishing again today! He even called me to buy the tea!”

“Of course, I didn’t give it away! I brewed it for my parents today. After drinking it, they said their backs and legs didn’t hurt anymore!” Wu Ji paused and gave a slight cough in embarrassment. “That’s an exaggeration, of course, but the relief is true. Feng Yi, is this some kind of… secret tea-making method passed down from generation to generation? This tea is quite expensive, right? Can the tea maker sell a little more? I’ll buy it!”

Feng Yi was surprised. The tea leaves had such an effect? He didn’t feel much after he drank it, but the pain relief was evident.

“I’ll ask for you, but it is unlikely that he will sell. I tried to buy from him a while ago, but he didn’t sell me any,” Feng Yi said.

“Okay, first ask how much tea is left, then ask if he’ll sell or not. The price is negotiable!”

Wu Ji really liked that tea. Such a good tea was definitely in limited supply. If he could buy it, he would only leave it for his own family or the shop.

After talking to Wu Ji, Feng Yi sent a voice message to Uncle Mute.

Uncle Mute quickly replied: “Not much left! Not for sale! Not lacking money! [Smug] [Smoking cigarette]”

Looking at the two stickers sent at the end and thinking about the high-end phone that Uncle Mute had when he had first met him in Mount Xiaofeng, Feng Yi took a screenshot of Uncle Mute’s reply and sent it to Wu Ji: “Give up. ”

Wu Ji was disappointed, but asked again: “Can you satisfy my curiosity, how much is the tea?”

Feng Yi relayed it on to Uncle Mute.

Uncle Mute replied: “Limited worldwide! Priceless! If you’ve drank it, you’ve already won!”

Wu Ji gave up. But Feng Yi still had some questions for Uncle Mute.

“Uncle Mute, I’m almost finished with the tea, and a can of tea only lasts for a month. Do you have any more?”

The last time Feng Yi wanted to buy it, Uncle Mute replied that he should finish what he had first. The tea was almost finished now, so maybe Uncle Mute would sell it to him now?

Uncle Mute replied: “After drinking that stuff for a month, it will no longer be of use to you. You’ll be wasting it.”

Feng Yi was taken aback. There was something hidden in those words!

When he drank the tea back then, his severe pain had indeed gradually improved. He thought it was the effect of the tea Uncle Mute had given him, but now, there might be other reasons?

Feng Yi asked again: “Then what is the effect of this tea?”

Uncle Mute replied: “Clears the mind and eyesight, refreshes the spirit, quenches thirst and helps produce saliva, reduces swelling and relieves pain, promotes metabolism, and so on, sheesh, there aren’t that many common effects! What else can I say?”

Feng Yi: “…”

Uncle Mute: “Tea is not a divine medicine, treat it rationally! That’s all, I’m busy.”

Feng Yi couldn’t pursue the matter even if he wanted to. He read over Uncle Mute’s replies and analyzed the words carefully. Someone who could guard the ancestral home and keep so many secrets was definitely not an ordinary person. Uncle Mute surely knew about the changes he was going through right now.

After drinking it for a month, it would no longer have any effect. Did it mean that the tea could no longer relieve pain? Or was it that in one month, he would complete all the evolutionary mutations, so he wouldn’t have to endure such severe pain?

Uncle Mute’s words were vague, which made Feng Yi’s mind feel unsettled.

No matter what he meant, one month was definitely a critical period, so there would definitely be some changes before the end of the month. After his teeth and cheeks, which part of his body would suffer the pain next?

Thinking about this, Feng Yi didn’t feel like wandering around outside, so he immediately went home. He also stopped at the supermarket to buy another batch of goods. In the coming days, he would probably have to stay at home to endure the pain of evolution.

That night, Feng Yi had a nightmare.

Perhaps because he had a lot on his mind during the day, or because he had gone to the zoo to observe the albino Burmese python, Feng Yi dreamed that there were a series of heat-sensitive holes in his mouth, and that his tongue was forked…
