“What does that have to do with me?”
Bai Shengyi remained unmoved. She stroked the white fur of the long-eared rabbit. Her stomach rumbled.
“Little rabbit, you look so delicious.”
Long-eared rabbit: ???
“Braised rabbit cubes, spicy rabbit head, char siu rabbit jerky, shredded rabbit, spicy rabbit hot pot…”
The long-eared rabbit was forced to listen to a string of dishes. The entire rabbit was almost done for!
The crucial point was that at this moment, Bai Shengyi also licked her lips, squinting and smiling enchantingly, “I haven’t tried the meat of a rabbit demon before. How about I try it today?”
Are you a devil!
At this moment, shouldn’t it be offering its flesh according to the plot it had spoken? Why did it dare to plot for its flesh?
The long-eared rabbit’s ears perked up, and it said sharply, “You can’t eat me! Bai Shengyi, you can only protect me!”
“How do you know my name?” Bai Shengyi’s gaze deepened, and she stared coldly at the rabbit in her hand.
She could see guilt in the rabbit’s red eyes.
The long-eared rabbit looked around and said, “You are my master, of course I know your name.”
“Is that so?”
Bai Shengyi didn’t believe it!
In a phantasm, although plots would develop, it was like a world in itself, but it was not a real world. Neither humans nor demons in this place would have independent thinking abilities.
Their existence might just be to push the plot forward, or they might be a checkpoint as part of a trial, just like the secret realm Bai Shengyi entered when she was on the path of no return, related to Venerable Chunhong.
But no matter which it was, it couldn’t be so smart as to know the name of the person who broke into the phantasm!
Therefore, this long-eared rabbit clearly had a problem.
She wondered if it was Bai Murong or Sun Zhongyang who was trying to interfere with her phantasm.
“Of course, Master. How can you not believe me? I am your most trusted rabbit.” The long-eared rabbit looked at Bai Shengyi pitifully. “So, can you not eat me?”
“But if I don’t eat you, where will I get the meat for Lord Xuan She? Alas! I’ve thought of it. How about this, give your meat directly to Lord Xuan She!”
“How can that be!”
The long-eared rabbit said anxiously.
But Bai Shengyi had already gotten up.
Phantasms would change. Just like now, as Bai Shengyi moved, a ball of white flocculent matter floated past the blue mirror under her feet, and then another rabbit appeared in front of Bai Shengyi.
This rabbit was much more dull than the one in Bai Shengyi’s hand. It said blankly, “Master, please give me the meat.”
Bai Shengyi plucked two strands of hair and placed them in the rabbit’s hand.
The long-eared rabbit immediately became anxious, “You are deceiving a rabbit!”
Bai Shengyi smiled innocently, “How could I? This is meat. Little white rabbit, hurry and take it to Lord Xuan She.”
The two strands of hair floated lightly. The rabbit didn’t notice anything wrong. It cupped the hair in its hands and walked out.
Bai Shengyi paced along, observing her surroundings, her expression growing increasingly strange.
Because the more she looked at this place, the more it looked like an upside-down grassland!
Thinking of it this way, Bai Shengyi felt it was even more similar. The layers of green leaves and small flowers on the top were the original ground, and the ground she was stepping on now was the blue sky and white clouds.
“My Lord, your meat has arrived.”
“Present it.”
The familiar voice made Bai Shengyi look up abruptly, and her pupils contracted.
It was Sun Zhongyang!
He was also in the phantasm!
But Sun Zhongyang acted as if he didn’t recognize Bai Shengyi. He was taking the hair from the rabbit’s hand. The long-eared rabbit in Bai Shengyi’s hand let out a sharp cry, “Lord Xuan She, that is not meat! My master is deceiving you!”
Sun Zhongyang immediately straightened up, sidling his shoulders towards Bai Shengyi, and said fiercely, “Deceiving me?”
The foul breath made Bai Shengyi lower her head and retch. Only then did she realize that Sun Zhongyang’s lower body had turned into a snake’s body.
The snake’s body slithered on the ground, leaving behind a winding, viscous trail.
Bai Shengyi frowned and took a step back in disgust.
She hated snakes!
Sun Zhongyang unpleasantly stretched his snake body longer, “Human, since you are unwilling to offer your flesh to me, then give birth to eggs for me. Then, use your spiritual blood and flesh to nourish our children. Our children will surely transform into flood dragons after hatching.”
In his slender eyes, the vertical pupils held ambition.
Ever since he woke up yesterday, a voice had been repeatedly telling Sun Zhongyang in his mind, “Sun Zhongyang, don’t suppress yourself anymore. Don’t forget your responsibility to revitalize the clan. Only through reproduction can the Heavenly Dragon Snake lineage be passed down…”
Sun Zhongyang wanted to reproduce.
And the woman in front of him was the female snake that captivated him the most!
“Human, your flesh and blood are truly fragrant… Ugh…”
A rabbit was stuffed into Sun Zhongyang’s mouth, filling it with rabbit fur.
“Bai Shengyi! What are you doing!” The long-eared rabbit’s ears stood straight up, both shocked and angry, “I am your pet! Your favorite pet!”
“That shows that I have doted on you quite a bit. Are you unwilling to help me fill Lord Xuan She’s stomach at this moment? If you are unwilling, it shows that I have doted on you in vain. What use do I have for a pet like you? I might as well offer you to Lord Xuan She!”
Bai Shengyi grabbed the rabbit’s ears, pressed down its head, and stuffed it even harder into Sun Zhongyang’s mouth.
As she stuffed it, she said, “Lord Xuan She, this rabbit meat is much more delicious than my meat. Enjoy it well.”
The long-eared rabbit panicked.
It couldn’t bother with exposing its identity and said urgently, “Shut up! Shut up! Sun Zhongyang, are you an idiot? I told you to eat Bai Shengyi’s meat, not mine!”
But the medicine they had given Sun Zhongyang before was too potent, especially after being suppressed for half a year and then erupting, it had completely consumed Sun Zhongyang’s reason, releasing only his bestial nature.
How could he be willing to spit out the meat that was already in his mouth?
Sun Zhongyang directly transformed into his snake form, his snake mouth as wide as a blood basin, and swallowed the entire long-eared rabbit in one gulp!
“Burp…” Sun Zhongyang let out a satisfied burp, then transformed back into human form, “Alright, it’s your turn to lay eggs for me…”
He paused. His previously lively eyes became dull.
“Oh, no, I ate your flesh today, so I can’t lay eggs with you. We’ll do it tomorrow. Tomorrow, either give me meat or lay eggs for me.”
Bai Shengyi understood. This was a fixed setting of the plot. That meant Sun Zhongyang could not violate the setting of choosing one of these two options.
In that case, the worry in her heart eased by half. It was just meat, right? According to the long-eared rabbit, there was a group of rabbits here, and they should be able to get by for a while, right?
While thinking, Bai Shengyi knew that this kind of passive waiting was the worst option. What she needed to do now was to quickly figure out where the core of this phantasm was.
Just like the phantasm set up by Venerable Chunhong, the core was to break the Sun family’s criticism and suppression of Sun Ying. As long as it was a phantasm, there was a core to break it.
…
Outside the grassland, Yun Youyue spat out a mouthful of black blood and fell to the ground.
“Youyue! Are you alright?” Jin Lingfeng hurried forward and helped Yun Youyue up.
