Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Xia Muqing stopped the impulsive Gungun.
Needless to say, with Gungun like this, the green snake would definitely refuse.
Since the snake was unwilling, Xia Muqing turned around and left.
The green snake gazed at Xia Muqing in disbelief.
Its huge eyes were filled with doubt.
It had seen all kinds of humans.
But they all had one thing in common: cunning and greed.
All of them wished that they could take everything in the mountains for themselves.
This was the first time that the green snake had met such a human. It was a little confused.
However, it was fine as long as the lotus was intact.
This lotus was for its wife.
Its wife was attacked in childbirth a hundred years ago and its body was injured.
Their children ended up dead.
Its wife had never left the cave in all these years.
The green snake was waiting for this lotus to mature and then, it would use it to heal his wife’s body.

It moved its injured body bit by bit and wrapped the lotus under its body.
It looked in the direction that Xia Muqing left and was relieved to see that she didn’t return.
Just as it was feeling relieved, it heard a ferocious howl.
The green snake instantly reared its head.
A black wolf slowly approached with greed gleaming in its eyes.
The green snake knew that the black wolf was after its lotus.
The black wolf was the culprit who had hurt its wife and killed their children.
The wolf had been harassing it for the past century just to steal the lotus.
In consideration of its wife, the green snake couldn’t fight the wolf heads on.
If it died, its wife wouldn’t survive either.
It had been hiding and avoiding the wolf, but the lotus couldn’t be moved.
One could imagine how hard the green snake had been living for the past hundred years.
The black wolf approached the green snake quietly. It had seen what had just happened.
It had failed to steal the meat lotus for a hundred years.
The black wolf knew that its chance had arrived.
The green snake was indeed stronger than it at its peak, but the heavily injured green snake was no match for it now.
The green snake watched Black Wolf’s movements intently.
It was ready to fight to its death.
However…
The green snake glanced at the meat lotus that was about to ripen.
Even if it died, it had to think of a way to send it to its wife.
The black wolf howled as it charged towards the green snake.
The green snake used its tail to protect the lotus while its head quickly dodged the black wolf’s attack.
After failing several times, the black wolf gradually lost its patience.
When it caught a glimpse of the lotus that the green snake had been protecting, the black wolf had a plan.
It suddenly changed its attack tactic and targeted the lotus.
This time, the green snake could no longer dodge. It could only block the black wolf’s attack.
Blood appeared at the corner of the green snake’s mouth after the first attack.
Its body couldn’t withstand such a fierce attack.
After the first attack, the black wolf attacked the green snake relentlessly.
Every time the green snake could only take the attacks head-on.
One of its eyes had already caved in from the impact of the black snake’s attacks.

Its entire face was covered with blood and it looked extremely terrifying.
After each attack, the black wolf had thought that the green snake had met its limit.
However, it managed to survive each time.
This made the black wolf even more furious. With a growl, it bit the snake even harder.
It bit off a piece of flesh from the green snake’s neck.
The green snake had already lost consciousness, and its willpower to save its wife was the only thing that kept it from letting go.
It stared at Black Wolf with blurry vision. Gradually, even the black wolf’s figure disappeared.
It could only passively endure the attacks of the black wolf.
“Gungun, go!”
A voice suddenly sounded.
The green snake struggled to look towards the source of the voice, but it couldn’t see anything.
It could only feel the black wolf had suddenly stopped its attacks.
Xia Muqing wanted to tell the green snake that this lotus was going to bear fruit in two days. If it didn’t pluck it before the fruit appeared, the lotus would lose its medicinal properties.
She wasn’t sure if the green snake knew, so she specially came back to tell it.
Who knew that she would witness this scene the moment she returned.
She immediately instructed Gungun to help subdue the black wolf.
Xia Muqing rushed to the green snake and checked its injuries.
