Chapter 1064: Always on the Surface
Raising my eyes slightly at the sound, I saw the riverbed scattered with wooden boxes.
A man and a woman were wading through the water, laboriously retrieving the wooden boxes and taking them to the shore under an old banyan tree.
Both of them looked delighted to see me, their eyes sparkling.
"Why are you still here?" I released the man’s hand and walked over to Yu Rongling and Shenshen.
Yu Rongling, panting like Erha, said, "We just got here half an hour ago, what do you mean still?"
"Young Madam, I thought I’d have to wait a long time to see you, but you arrived so quickly~" Xiao Shenshen leapt into my arms, looking up at me with her little head.
I then realized that time stands still in Nether Spring, no matter how long it takes.
When you come out, not much time may have passed at all, "Be good, keep fetching the boxes."
"Okay." Xiao Shenshen waded through the water up to her waist, picked up a box, and carried it to the shore.
Yu Rongling, however, didn’t move, staring at the spot beside me, "Who is this guy? How did you go to the Abyss and come back with a snake next to you?"
The Human Snake Man from the Snake King Chamber had somehow swum over to my side, wagging his tail.
"Shh." It was inconvenient to explain directly, so I put a finger to my lips, signaling for silence.
Yu Rongling’s eyes shifted, catching on for once and not pressing further, "I’m going to fetch the boxes."
The number of boxes was quite a lot, and the sun was blazing.
This kept Shenshen and Rongling very busy, working under the scorching sun, moving things around.
"Are they your friends?" The man curled his tail in the water, hooking around my waist.
I sighed inwardly, knowing that as long as I didn’t kill him,
we would definitely be entangled together, resignedly accepting it, "Yes, I know them."
"Are you two fetching the boxes onto the shore?" This man surprisingly spoke to Yu Rongling and Shenshen.
Shenshen turned around in surprise, noticing the man’s inappropriate snake tail around my waist.
Her little face turned white immediately, tugging at Yu Rongling beside her, "Who’s that blue guy? Why is he so close to the Young Madam?"
"I don’t know, but it’s not something we can manage." Yu Rongling’s face also turned long, his fists clenched tightly, but he surprisingly didn’t explode.
He loudly responded to the man, "Yes, what’s up?"
"Let me help you." The man’s snake tail suddenly became extraordinarily thick, growing several times longer.
With a light sweep of his long tail, the wooden boxes in the water were all brought to the shore at once.
Including Shenshen and Yu Rongling who were in the water...
The two kids were dumbfounded, only glancing at each other after a moment.
Yu Rongling said in a daze, "I never thought that a snake tail could be so useful."
"Yeah, yeah, if you had used your tail earlier, we wouldn’t have been so tired!" Shenshen nodded affirmatively.
With the boxes all retrieved, Yu Rongling and Shenshen contacted the police to find ways to send the children in the boxes back to their original homes.
Though the man’s snake tail couldn’t be hidden, it could be shrunk down a bit.
Wearing a skirt, it was hard to notice him in public.
Combined with his long hair tied in a ponytail, he looked even prettier than a girl.
For several days, he stayed with us, watching as the children’s parents went to the police station to take their children home.
Watching those parents embrace their lost and found little treasures, overjoyed at such a warm scene, my heart was filled with emotions.
Insisting on bringing these little kids back was the right thing to do, after all, seeing so many families reunite was worth it.
I also dearly miss my Dumpling, I want to hold him in my arms and lift him high!
Dumpling should be in the care of Chang Hao now, they witnessed the entire mountain collapse, and I wonder what’s going on in their minds.
And with the peculiar Human Snake Man now by my side, it’s not convenient to contact them in Maple Leaf Town.
To prevent bringing trouble to them...
"I want to ask you a question, did you originally live on the surface?" After watching the last parent take their child, the man suddenly asked me.
