Chapter 58 The White Snake
Miao Yin moved the stool over again and placed the Nine-Tasseled Rabbit on it, facing the glass table.
"Little rabbit, you're in charge of watching over those two. If they dare to bump into my window, immediately tell your owner, and I'll take care of them."
“But—” Miao Yin’s tone suddenly shifted, her focus turning to the Nine-Tails Rabbit.
"If you neglected your duties and they got away, I'll stew you, understand?"
The nine-tasseled rabbit shuddered, gesturing with its two little paws up and down, repeatedly indicating that it would definitely work hard.
The Nine-Tails Rabbit's real-time alerts are one aspect, but monitoring is also essential.
Miao Yin adjusted the surveillance camera so that it was pointing directly at the glass cabinet, and then left with the spider leg, satisfied.
Yan Shuzhou was still waiting for her on the steps leading to the cottage. When he saw Miao Yin come out, his eyes lit up involuntarily, but he froze when he saw the spider legs inside her thick gloves.
"Sister, what's this for?"
"The White Snake Lady's Snake Food".
Yan Shuzhou: ? ? ?
"This...can I eat this?" He was a little confused.
"It might cause diarrhea," Miao Yin said casually.
"Is that so..." Yan Shuzhou was bewildered. His trust in Miao Yin made him subconsciously believe it was true, but upon closer thought, something seemed off.
Miao Yin smiled but didn't say anything, and the two slowly returned to the villa.
Two days later, Bai Niangzi still looked like a beautiful snake, lazily clinging to a tree branch. Her snow-white scales were smooth and delicate. She was sleeping with her eyes closed, looking even more relaxed and comfortable than Miao Yin.
"Xiao Zhou, go check what's in the fridge first, then make dinner. We haven't eaten anything yet, so just cook something simple," Miao Yin said.
Yan Shuzhou was always very obedient and considerate. Hearing her say that, he obediently said goodbye: "Okay, I'll go now."
After he left, Miao Yin reached out and tapped on the glass.
The thumping sound woke Bai Niangzi from her sleep. She opened her eyes drowsily and realized that her master had returned.
"Good evening, Lady White Snake. I brought you a midnight snack."
Miao Yin cut the spider legs into small pieces and used tweezers to hold them in front of it.
Lady White Snake slowly approached the small piece of meat, tilting her head to examine it from head to toe, a hint of doubt showing in her ruby-like eyes.
It glanced at the inscrutable Miao Yin, then at the strange piece of meat, flicked its tongue, and finally coiled its body and swallowed it whole.
The small piece of meat slid down its throat into its abdominal cavity, gradually flattening out. Miao Yin looked down to observe its movements.
For the first few dozen seconds, Bai Suzhen seemed to be doing nothing wrong, simply slowly coiling back around her branch.
But then, something started to go wrong.
It visibly became agitated, constantly rubbing against the branches, its body twisting and turning, and occasionally opening its mouth as if to vomit.
Its eyes were blinking abnormally, and its tail was swishing back and forth.
Miao Yin thought for a moment, then picked up a red-skinned pinkie and fed it to it.
The White Snake Lady revealed a fierce look, bit off the rat's body in one bite, and then wolfed it down.
"Hiss, hiss—" It impatiently flicked its tongue and banged its head against the glass, looking very uncomfortable.
Miao Yin sighed, her fingers tracing the glass: "My dear Lady White Snake, try a little harder. If you can't make it through, I'll have no choice but to take care of you."
"I've raised you for so long, it would break my heart if you really died."
She spoke with a sorrowful tone, but her face showed little sadness, only a hint of regret.
Lady White Snake opened her mouth and hissed at her, looking as if she wanted to bite her to death.
I was clearly encouraging you.
Miao Yin, feeling wronged, grabbed another baby mouse and stuffed it into its mouth.
Lady White Snake bit the rat until it bled profusely, the white scales splattered with bright red blood, creating a striking contrast.
The monstrous virus of the mutant human ravaged its body, turning the once elegant and noble predator into a ferocious bloodthirsty monster, just as humans once turned into monsters.
This was the first time Miao Yin had ever witnessed the entire process of a life becoming distorted.
In her past life, the mutation had already ended when she stepped out the door; all she saw were the mutated people.
After eating the baby mouse, Lady White Snake gradually calmed down, lay on the pebbles, and slowly closed her eyes.
Seeing that it wouldn't make any move anytime soon, Miao Yin checked the thickness of the glass and, confirming that even if Bai Niangzi lost her mind, she wouldn't rush out, yawned and left.
Yan Shuzhou was still busy in the kitchen, the pot of soup bubbling away.
To make things easier, Miao Yin would always stuff the refrigerator full of food so that Yan Shuzhou could choose what to eat.
She quietly walked up behind him and suddenly bumped into his shoulder.
"Wow!"
Yan Shuzhou was startled and almost dropped the shovel. He only calmed down after realizing it was her.
"Sister? You're here. Dinner will be ready soon, just wait a little longer."
What are you burning?
"Radish and pork rib soup, along with beans and scrambled eggs with tomatoes."
Yan Shuzhou had already studied cooking properly, and now, in order to please Miao Yin, he often picks up cookbooks to learn various cooking methods.
He's a master of Western, Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai, Japanese, and dessert cuisines, far surpassing his previous skill level. These everyday dishes are a piece of cake for him.
Miao Yin had repeatedly praised Yan Shuzhou's virtuousness; putting aside everything else, his culinary skills were definitely among the best in her eyes.
She herself has no interest in cooking and used to order her subordinates to do it.
It's embarrassing to think back on it, but back then, out of the more than one hundred people under her command, very few could make it taste like this, although this was partly due to their lack of food and proper preparation.
Moreover, food was scarce in the apocalypse, and most of the time people ate bread and various fast foods from supermarkets, which was far inferior to what they could enjoy now.
Regardless, in this life, in terms of food, it is already the ultimate enjoyment.
Being able to eat such food in the apocalypse would make countless people envious.
Miao Yin didn't like the smell of cooking oil, so she didn't stay in the kitchen for long. However, Yan Shuzhou soon brought the food up.
The fresh pork rib soup has a savory and rich flavor with an unforgettable aftertaste. The refreshing radish also effectively relieves the greasiness of the meat, making it a truly delightful meal.
The crunchy beans and the tangy scrambled eggs with tomatoes are equally delicious.
The two enjoyed a hearty meal in a warm atmosphere, which dispelled the fatigue from a busy day.
The Dongai residential area and the manor were quite far apart, and it took them a considerable amount of time to get there. By the time they finished eating, the stars were already high in the sky.
After Yan Shuzhou finished cleaning the dining table and kitchen, Miao Yin gave him two green crystal cores.
Although the income from this trip to Dongai Community was not as high as that of Yaori Shopping Mall, there were still quite a few green crystal cores.
Miao Yin had no intention of giving up on nurturing Yan Shuzhou. She also wanted to see what the Immortal Kingdom, whose talent was comparable to that of Xue Guanyin, would look like after it grew up.
Having learned from his previous experience, Yan Shuzhou absorbed the crystal cores much faster this time.
The two green crystal cores quickly disappeared from his hand.
