Chapter 161 The Cold and Aloof Immortal's Darkened Daoist Partner 10

Yun Qing tried to reason with him, "Senior brother, if I suddenly grow bigger, I'll tear your clothes."

"It won't break."

Oh, right! Even her little dress is a magical artifact, so Zong Yunze's brocade robe is obviously not an ordinary garment either; it won't break so easily.

Before she could say anything more, Zong Yunze suddenly handed her a small piece of fragrant, brimming with spiritual energy and asked, "Want some?"

Yun Qing: ...We absolutely have to eat this!

Oh well, I guess I'll just have to accept it. It's not that bad anyway.

Yun Qing happily ate the dried meat.

Zong Yunze looked down at the top of her dark hair and asked, "How does it taste?"

Yun Qing, her cheeks bulging, nodded with a haughty expression, "It's acceptable."

Even without seeing her expression, Zong Yunze could imagine what she looked like.

A barely perceptible smile flickered in his eyes. "Then prepare even more..."

He was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly looked up and gazed into the distance.

Yun Qing also heard some noises, which seemed to be getting closer to them.

As she chewed on the dried meat, she looked up and saw a sharp light, carrying an aura that seemed to tear through the void, disappearing into the distance.

Soon, a tremendous, earth-shaking roar came from afar, indicating that it was a colossal creature.

Yun Qing looked up at Zong Yunze and asked with a serious face, "Senior brother, what is it? Is it worth tasting?"

"You'll know once you go and see for yourself."

Yun Qing finished the jerky in a few bites, then clung to Zong Yunze's clothes, her little face tense with anticipation.

When Zong Yunze stopped, Yun Qing looked around but found nothing.

"Where did it go?"

Zong Yunze simply raised his hand and grabbed, and a black snake as thick as a baby's arm flew out from a tree not far away.

Yun Qing recalled the commotion earlier; the snake's original body must have been quite large. Now, it was probably realizing it was no match for Zong Yunze, so it shrunk and hid.

Looking at its head, there are two bulges.

Yun Qing was somewhat surprised, "Is it about to transform into a dragon?"

The black snake struggled incessantly, trying to change its shape, but it was suppressed by Zong Yunze's power and could only writhe on the ground, fiercely flicking its tongue.

There was a wound on the snake's body, and it was still dripping blood.

However, Zong Yunze had clearly shown mercy; otherwise, the snake would have suffered far more injuries than this.

Having spent so much time together, Yun Qing had witnessed his swift and decisive actions when killing ferocious beasts.

Yun Qing carefully examined the black snake, then looked up at Zong Yunze and asked, "Senior Brother, may I have it?"

Zong Yunze paused for a moment, then said, "This ferocious beast has developed intelligence; it's not appropriate to eat it."

Yun Qing: ...

[System! Does he think I'm a glutton who eats everything?]

System: Aren't you one of them?

Yun Qing explained, "I just want it to be a mount. Aren't you worried that if I suddenly grow bigger, I'll crush you?"

Zong Yunze paused suspiciously for a moment, then said, "No need, I..."

"I really like it."

Zong Yunze's words were cut off, and he couldn't help but glance at the ugly black snake.

The black snake, which had been looking fierce, suddenly trembled and obediently stopped struggling.

Yun Qing couldn't help but comment, "He looks quite well-behaved."

Zong Yunze: ...

"Junior sister, this black snake was just attacking indiscriminately like a madman. It's clearly still vicious. What if it hurts you..."

The black snake, which had just been frightened by the murderous intent, quickly and obediently raised its head and looked at Yun Qing. It looked docile and innocent. If it could speak, it probably would have called her "master" right away.

"Senior brother, have you forgotten? I also know beast taming techniques. Besides, aren't you here?"

Zong Yunze fell silent.

After that, Yun Qingzhen used the black snake as her mount, and she never climbed on Zong Yunze again.

The system watched as Yun Qing sat cross-legged on the black snake, eating and eating, and occasionally staring at the bulge on the snake's head. It couldn't help but get impatient.

[Host, do you really like this black snake?]

Yun Qing casually replied, "Mm."

The system asked with some concern: "Do you think it's good-looking?"

No, I think it's all black and ugly.

system:……

I was wrong. I was actually worried that you would wait for it to transform into a dragon and use it as a substitute.

Looking back now, it's quite an achievement to be able to love the original version.

Before it could even catch its breath, it heard Yun Qing say, "[It's a bit ugly, but it's actually quite pleasing to the eye.]"

system:!!!

Don't be so pleasing to the eye just because you like it! Can't you like Zong Yunze?

Yun Qing, completely oblivious to the system's anxiety, asked while munching on a spiritual fruit, "Senior brother, where do we go next?"

I asked, but received no response.

"Senior brother?"

She looked up at Zong Yunze, wondering why he wasn't saying anything.

Upon closer reflection, it seems that Zong Yunze hasn't said a single word since she accepted the black snake as her mount.

What's going on here?

At this moment, Zong Yunze glanced down at her, and his gaze made Yun Qing feel a little strange.

Unable to fathom his thoughts, she turned to the system for help: "[What's wrong with Zong Yunze?]"

The system thought to itself, "What else could it be? You're so clueless!"

[Host, don't you think Zong Yunze doesn't really like this black snake?]

Yun Qing thought about it and realized it was true.

She glanced again at the bulge on the black snake's head and hesitated, saying, "But I want to see when it grows dragon horns. It would be quite majestic if it did, wouldn't it?"

System: I knew it! You just want to see it transform into a dragon!

He suddenly said he liked this black snake, saying it was ugly on one hand, and then saying it looked pleasing to the eye on the other. It's so strange.

It's clearly because this black snake bears a slight resemblance to the master's true form.

The only slight similarity is that they are both dark-skinned and have horns on their heads.

Oh, the black serpent dragon horns haven't even grown out yet.

The system said quietly: [Host, this black snake has already gained sentience. It will be able to speak human language and transform into human form in the future. You said you like it. If it falls in love with you in the future, are you still planning to form a bond with it?]

"Cough cough cough..."

Yun Qing was startled and choked on the spiritual fruit, coughing until her little face turned red.

Zong Yunze quickly scooped her up and helped her catch her breath.

After recovering, Yun Qing angrily retorted: "System! What nonsense are you spouting? What love or anything? It's just a snake, merely a mount!"

The system hadn't expected her to be so excited, and even choked a little. Feeling a bit guilty, it said, "[You said you liked it.]"

[Is that what I meant? When I said I liked something, it was like liking flowers and plants. How can your thoughts be so filthy!]

system:……

So be it, it may be sordid! For the Lord's happiness, I'll fight!

[Think about it, it may just be a snake now, but it will transform into a dragon someday! It will have dragon horns and a dragon tail, it'll be very majestic, don't you like it?]

Yun Qing grabbed Zong Yunze's fingers tightly, and said resolutely, word by word: "I do not like dragons!"

Waaah... She didn't want her mount anymore; she couldn't bear to look at the black snake anymore.
