Shu Hanyu, however, did not approach him again and raised his head to climb out of the cave.
Shu Jintian finally let out a heavy sigh when the dark-green snake tail also disappeared from his field of vision.
His body hurt so much that it didn’t even feel like it was his. Shu Jintian supported his waist and rubbed it.
“Ss… It hurts!”
Hateful big snake, turning hostile whenever it wanted to.
He touched the bruise again, and the pain permeated into his bones. However, if he ignored it, the bruise would heal slower. To stop his blood from clotting, Shu Jintian bore through the pain and rubbed the bruised area.
His forehead had a faint sheen of sweat, which soaked his dry lips. Shu Jintian licked his lips that were so dry it chapped, and some of the salty sweat moistened his parched mouth.
Suddenly recalling that person extending his forked tongue and licking, Shu Jintian retched, spitting out the sweat in his mouth.
Shu Hanyu returned very soon, and had even brought back a strange, half-dead beast. It was the size of a small water buffalo, and its nose was also like a water buffalo’s. However, it had particularly long ears, and its fur was tidy and smooth, somehow a little like a rabbit.
The snake tail was wrapped around his prey and he spat out a few brilliant red fruits from his mouth. It was the kind Shu Jintian had eaten last night.
Shu Jintian was sure that his abdominal pains had something to do with this fruit. Now that he saw the large snake bring some back for him again, he couldn’t help trembling in fear.
Yesterday, the snake had also been the one to bring him to pick these fruits, and he had taken the initiative to pick a lot. After eating it, he had that awful stomach pain.
Now, the large snake had picked this fruit for him again. It was hard for him to believe that the large snake had not done it on purpose.
Shu Jintian’s gaze was filled with vigilance and he stared at him warily.
Shu Hanyu extended his tail towards Shu Jintian and the tip of his tail poked at Shu Jintian’s shoulder.
Revulsed, Shu Jintian retreated backwards, but forced himself to stop when he thought of the snake’s ruthlessness.
“What do you want now?”
The response to Shu Jintian was a snake tail which got even closer, as well as the beast trapped under it.
“This… you’re giving to me to eat?”
Seeing the large snake nod his head, Shu Jintian snorted and looked away.
Displeased, Shu Hanyu twisted his snake body and relentlessly presented the food before the female. However, the female could not tell good from bad and kept avoiding him.
The Spiritual Snake’s anger slowly rose. He was already very tolerant with the female, yet this female still kept being difficult and refused to eat. If it weren’t for his morning mistake of being heavy-handed against him this morning, he wouldn’t have offered food in such a good temper.
There was another familiar, strange sound. Shu Jintian intuitively felt that the situation had turned for the worse. He turned his head back and saw Shu Hanyu, who had been in his snake form previously, back in his human form.
Shu Jintian trembled and retreated a step back.

However, Shu Hanyu did not pay attention to him. His large hands picked up the prey on the floor and he opened his mouth to bite into the prey’s neck, his sharp teeth penetrating the prey’s artery.

Vte Alcaljc rkjiibkfv, jcv raeaafgfv, “Tbe- Qtja vb sbe kjca ab vb?”
Shu Hanyu ignored Shu Jintian’s words and walked towards Shu Jintian step by step.
With every step the man took, Shu Jintian took a step back. Until he could retreat no further.
Shu Jintian’s back was pressed against the cavern wall, and he watched wide-eyed at the man who was walking towards him. He had never been this terrified before; even when he was kidnapped, the worst situation was just death. However, he was genuinely scared right now.
When Shu Hanyu halted right before him, Shu Jintian could no longer bear it and he turned to run towards the side.
The sharp-sighted Shu Hanyu deftly clamped down on Shu Jintian’s arm and forcibly pulled him back.
Shu Jintian stumbled and bumped against Shu Hanyu’s chest. His tugged arm socket was aching, and had narrowly missed being dislocated. Shu Jintian then realised that the man was exceptionally large and tall; even his height of 180cm was only enough to reach the man’s chest.
His nose crashed into the pale yet buff chest, and Shu Jintian’s nose ached slightly. He could still faintly smell the fishy, wet smell unique to serpent species and the winding tracks of blood on his chest were unbearable and he couldn’t help holding his breath. He tried his best to struggle free.
Shu Hanyu impatiently clutched the female’s slender neck and pressed him up against the cave wall.
“Eat!”
Shu Jintian’s eyes widened. What? It really was for him to eat! It’s not like he was a beast, did he think everyone could eat raw meat?
Shu Jintian did his best to shrink back, the back of his head sticking tight against the cave wall.
“I don’t want to!”
Shu Hanyu ignored the female’s resistance and single-handedly raised the large prey, and shoved the bitten-through neck at the female.
The blood cascaded into Shu Jintian’s mouth, filling up his oral cavity. The intense bloody flavour choked his throat and led to a round of retching from Shu Jintian as he shook his head incessantly and struggled.
Shu Hanyu pressed close to Shu Jintian and used his body to suppress the disobedient female. Taking out his hand, he held the head of the female, which had been shaking wildly, in place.
Shu Jintian’s entire body was controlled, and he couldn’t even throw up the blood in his mouth. It was so disgusting, he wanted to vomit. The continuous flow of the blood entering his mouth forced him to swallow it constantly. Even so, he still choked on the blood he couldn’t swallow in time and let out pained coughs.
At this time, Shu Hanyu would temporarily move away the prey in his hand. When Shu Jintian was a little better, he force-fed him again.
The blood overflowing out of his mouth dripped down onto his shirt. Soon, his shirt was soaked with fresh blood.
It was only when the prey’s blood did not flow so smoothly that Shu Hanyu decided to let go of the female, throwing the prey aside like trash.
“Ugh! Ou-”
The instant Shu Jintian got his freedom, he knelt in the corner of the cave and vomited.
Shu Hanyu coldly watched, saying icily, “Vomited, eat again!”
Even if his voice was originally tender, it couldn’t conceal Shu Hanyu’s frigid tone.
Shu Jintian paused, no longer throwing up. A long time later, he slowly turned his head back and looked at Shu Hanyu, his face filled with resentment.
“Don’t be too excessive! Don’t you have any humanity? How could you force me to drink blood?”
Hatefully glaring at the expressionless Shu Hanyu, Shu Jintian’s anger grew even more.
“Ha! That’s right, you aren’t human in the first place, so how could you have humanity?! You vile monster!”
Seeing the man indeed reveal a fierce gaze, Shu Jintian had a thrill of succeeding in his revenge! Even if he knew cursing didn’t mean anything to the man, but now he was so low he could use this sort of tiny retaliation to balance his unhappiness.
Shu Hanyu’s large hand grasped Shu Jintian firmly, and Shu Jintian’s heart thumped as he immediately stopped his curses. Scared witless, he said, “What do you want now?”
Shu Hanyu looked at the female and crudely tugged at his strange clothes.
Shu Jintian didn’t know what he wanted to do, but taking off his clothes wouldn’t do much to him, so he no longer resisted pointlessly.
His clothes had a lot of blood which made him look dirty. Shu Hanyu did not like his things becoming dirtied and peeled off Shu Jintian’s clothes.
His clothes weren’t as easy to take off compared to his pants. It was wrapped tight and there was nowhere he could open it. Pulling it up would get it jammed up the female’s arms, and pulling it down from his neck also did not work.
Shu Jintian looked at him in disdain, standing there and enjoying Shu Hanyu beat his head against the wall like he was watching a clown. He did not move at all, allowing the man to continue attempting to remove his clothes.
Shu Hanyu could not take it off after a long time, and decided to tear it open.
This made Shu Jintian unable to sit still, and he hastily hugged himself.
“Don’t! I’ll take it off myself.”
He only had this set of clothes. If they were gone, wouldn’t he have to streak every day in the future?
Shu Hanyu loosened his grip, staring at Shu Jintian coldly.
Shu Jintian did not dare tarry and speedily took off his clothes.
He had originally been wearing a long-sleeve shirt and a jacket. Once he took this off, Shu Jintian had promptly become just as naked as Shu Hanyu.
Shu Jintian hugged his sides and glared at Shu Hanyu angrily.
Though it was sizzling hot outside, it was still a little cold here since they were in a cave deep underground.
Shu Hanyu picked up Shu Jintian’s shirt and climbed out of the cave entrance.
Shu Jintian stared dumbstruck at Shu Hanyu’s magical movements. He clearly had a human body as well, but somehow he could easily slip towards the cave entrance and smoothly reach the outside world.
Shu Jintian enviously gritted his teeth. If he could do it as well, it would have been much easier for him to escape.
Shu Jintian stood below the cave entrance and peered upwards.
From the entrance of the hole, he could see the bright sky and a few white clouds. There was a large tree; its treetop had concealed a bit of the cavern hole’s field of vision, but also gave a comforting sense of green.
Soon, Shu Hanyu had jumped down from outside.
Shu Jintian realised sharply that Shu Hanyu’s hand had some water, while his own shirt was not brought down yet. Did he go out to wash his clothes? So kind hearted?
Shu Jintian also recalled that his clothes had been stained with a lot of blood. In fact, even if Shu Hanyu hadn’t taken off his clothes, he would’ve done so himself.
Before Shu Hanyu had come down, he saw the female standing by the hole and looking out, and knew that he wanted to go out very much. Shu Hanyu internally thought, if his performance was good, he would find the time to bring him out to play ba!
Shu Hanyu picked him up bridal-style, went to the grass pile, and found a comfortable spot to lie in.
Even when Shu Hanyu wanted to sleep, his arms were still tightly wrapped around Shu Jintian.
Shu Jintian struggled, but immediately received a warning look.
“Sleep!”
Eh…
Fine ba, I know you’re a language genius, you didn’t have to specially show it off! But you want to hold me even when you’re sleeping, why the heck????
Shu Jintian wanted to kneel to Shu Hanyu’s learning ability that was in defiance of the natural order. He had just said it once, okay, yet Shu Hanyu could actually parse out that word from a sentence. He was simply abnormal!
After being tormented for half a day, Shu Jintian was also a little tired and thus followed Shu Hanyu, obediently closing his eyes and going to sleep.
Shu Hanyu touched the female’s hair, feeling pleased, and placed his head in his arms. Feeling the female’s warm breath, his heart had an unprecedented contentment. It was like his former solitary and empty life had been enriched instantly, and became perfect.
No wonder the past Spiritual Snakes would conform to snatching females like this; so it turned out that there was this sort of feeling.
In his inherited memory, there were many Spiritual Snakes who had snatched a female and had watched them tenaciously at the start. But later, he didn’t know why, but because the female said they wanted to go out and play, they had obediently released him. It led to the female and the tribesmen coordinating from both sides, and the female was rescued.
Shu Hanyu’s arms wrapped around the female tightened. Was this the feeling that had originally influenced Spiritual Snakes? With his clansmen’s countless sorrowful experiences, he would not be as foolish as them. He would guard his female constantly and give him no chance to escape.
“Mn~” Shu Jintian softly groaned and pasted his face against Shu Hanyu’s slightly cold chest, saying in a muffled voice, “Can’t you be gentler? I can’t breathe.”
Hearing that, Shu Hanyu loosened a bit of his strength and closed his eyes while embracing the female.
It wasn’t that the Spiritual Snakes were greedy for sleep. In truth, Spiritual Snakes did not have much need for sleep during the warm seasons. However, he had been guarding the sleeping female last night, and went to investigate the matter of that comforter after he had fallen asleep. When he returned, it had already become after midnight and taking care of the female took up a lot of time as well. When he had the chance to sleep, it had already become dawn.
Baobao Notes
Extra Kofi chapter (that was supposed to be out yesterday but life got me)
Lmao SHY is like one of those old school inflexible people (tho considering his race’s previous experiences it makes sense)
Thanks for the chapter! 🙂
*shigh * mr. Snake is little to ruthless. 😕
Thanks for the chapter!
Ahhhh… Mr Snake try to force feed his female so he can fatten up a bit! That’s what love is about! Lol 😆 But blood!? 😱…
Thank you for update 🤗👍👏😊💛
Drinking blood is an easy way to get micro nutrients in a nutrient deficient diet. Iron, salts, proteins, and even water. There are some animals that don’t actually need to drink often because they can get much of their water needs fulfilled from their prey.
Deer and other herbivores will seek out salt rich clay or rocks for the same reason.
Electrolytes.
thank you for your light
Shu Hanyu is being such a good hubby <3 ~
Thanks for the chapter! ^ ^
thanks for the chapter <3
I love this 😉
This novel is very interesting. Thanks for the TL!
I hope they will soon understand each other. Thanks for the chapters! ♥️
Thank you for the chapter!!
thanks for the chapter ❤(๑′ᴗ‵ ๑)
I don’t know how to phrase what I’m feeling reading this…. it’s a mix of a lot of feelings.
Thank you for the chapter !!
☺
I want to say he’s too violent but he’s already doing the best he can with his limited knowledge (ignorance), besides the fact that he’s not human or even sociable and has always been alone (since his dad kicked him out) so he’s not used to interacting with others.
Thanks for the chapter ~🌸
I would probably just be dead at this time! Forced to eat meat, RAW meat, or F*CKING FRESH BLOOD would kill me instantly, ugh!
Jintian unexpectedly doesn’t know what was good or bad for him. Only in this chapter, I am close to dropping the series because of his action 😅. Can’t he coaxed Hanyu better, or simply tried hard to communicate better. He is a monster alright in Jintian dictionary, no need to stressed on it more lol. That force feeding, I think he can slowly introduce the use of fire to roast or whatnot. I don’t know if I can continue the book because Jintian is actually the one provoking aggression from Hanyu. If he doesn’t quickly grasp this notion, future chapter gonna be full of violence then.
I’m just assuming it’s a character flaw? I’m not criticizing your points, I actually agree, but you gotta remember that Jintian is a wealthy young master, he’s not used to having to communicate, nor was he prepared to become the mate of a giant python— :b
Ohmygod (ಥ﹏ಥ) My heart is getting close dropping this! Please please don’t be like this in the next chapter (┛ಠДಠ)┛彡┻━┻
I really like SHY, even if it was forceful he thinks it good for his female so i don’t see it like a bad thing, (in his point of view) just that SJ should be more flexible in understanding the enviroment, although he’s also new in all this xD.
Well thx 4 the chapter!
Thank you for the great translation ♥️♥️♥️
This relationship is hella toxic right now, but that’s kinda cute— I mean that Hanyu, in his weird, kinda messed up, snake way, feels whole with Jintian around
He is too ruthless… Wtf…
Sigh..i cant help but compared him to the snek daddy, Curtis. Maybe because Curtis was older and had more experienced that he treated BaiQingQing gently despite ger disdain and fear of snek at the beginning that she fell for his gentleness..
Hanyu just a young snake perhaps that why he treated Jintian harshly…
