My love game is too abstract

The flight time was almost up, and Yarrow, holding Peach Fox, landed on the ground, the pair of wings on his back slowly dissolving into specks of light.

Although the Soaring Brand's duration was short, its flight speed was fast. In half an hour, they had already flown out of the forest and over the grassland.

He took out the item-finding list and glanced at it.

"There's still some distance left. Walking should get us there quickly."

They were now at the edge of a black forest, and looking at the surrounding gnarled trees, he was certain of his location.

Following the direction indicated by the item-finding list, he walked forward and could already see a corner of the distant spire building.

At this moment, Peach Fox's ears twitched, and she looked towards the black forest:

"Yarrow, did you hear something?"

"What?"

Yarrow cocked his ear, and indeed, he heard shouts coming from that direction.

Peach Fox turned her head to look at him: "It sounds, it sounds like a cry for help."

But Yarrow indifferently continued to walk forward:

"In this desolate wilderness, where would there be cries for help? It's probably just the sound of the wind."

"Is that so?" Peach Fox no longer paid attention and followed his steps.

They continued to walk forward.

But before they had gone far, they saw a person hanging from a tree in front of them. Yarrow thought it was Red Boy, but upon closer inspection, he discovered it was a plump snake with red fur growing on its back and green scales on its body.

"Help! Help!"

The plump snake made a clear, childlike cry, twisting its body desperately on the branch.

Although it was a snake, it was only about a meter long, looking chubby and adorable. It had a pair of beautiful dark green eyes on its round head. When it turned its body and noticed Yarrow and Peach Fox, it excitedly shouted at them:

"That's great, someone finally came! I was tied here by bad people! Please, come and save me!"

Peach Fox looked at Yarrow, who sighed and then pointed at the plump snake, saying to Peach Fox:

"See that? This is a textbook example of a honey trap. Who knows, as soon as you go over, a few big guys will jump out and surround you."

"Then we…"

"Stay away."

"Oh."

So he and Peach Fox bypassed the tree and continued forward.

"Hey! Where are you going! I'm not a bad snake! Come and save me!"

The plump snake shook its body and shouted desperately at them.

But they had already walked far away.

After walking a little further, the cry for help sounded again.

This time it was by the roadside. It was the same green, plump snake, entangled in a net, wriggling around.

"Help! Someone, save me! I'm trapped in a net! Come and save me!"

Yarrow looked at it, frowned, and then pulled Peach Fox away again, bypassing it.

Then, not long after, it was still the same plump snake. This time, it was tied to a tree, continuing to call for help:

"Help, please come and save me…"

"Are you ever going to stop! Are you determined to keep pestering us!" Yarrow finally couldn't bear it anymore and cursed at the plump snake.

"Huh? You dare to say that to me? When you encounter a cute little snake like me asking you for help, you don't even react! You must be a cold-blooded animal!"

The plump snake actually slipped out of the noose and slid to Yarrow's face, its slender tail pointing at his nose as it scolded him angrily.

"Please, what kind of honey trap is this? At least transform into a human first, right? Even a cute little boy wearing a bib would be better. Who but a furry would save a snake?" Yarrow twitched his lips.

"Exactly, even I can tell this trap is obviously fake," Peach Fox nodded in agreement, arms crossed.

"Heh, you humans are truly blind. I came here specifically to test you, but I didn't expect you to fail even this simple test," the plump snake said.

"Well, I guess we disappointed you," Yarrow said, bypassing it and continuing forward.

"Stop right there!"

The plump snake slithered in front of them, propped up its body with its tail, raised its chubby upper body, and chuckled coldly:

"You don't really think I'm just an ordinary snake, do you? Watch closely, I am the legendary mythical creature, the Feathered Serpent God!"

A pair of red feathered wings suddenly spread out on its back, but compared to real wings, these were a bit small, even smaller than Ji Xiaofei's wings, like two small ornaments.

"See that? Foolish humans?" the plump snake said with a cold snort.

"You…" Yarrow pointed at its wings, unable to help but laugh a little:

"May I ask, is this Feathered Serpent God of yours not yet an adult? Even my chicks have bigger wings than you."

"Ah, haven't you been cultivating properly? You can't cultivate an immortal body at this level," Peach Fox also shook her head and said.

"Don't laugh at me! I'm just not grown up yet!" the plump snake shouted at him in embarrassment.

“Anyway, both of you have been eliminated in my test. Humans without a shred of compassion are not worthy of the Feathered Serpent God's recognition!” It said to them proudly.

"Is that so? That's a real shame," Yarrow said, then pulled Peach Fox and continued forward.

"Hey!"

The plump snake, exasperated, slithered after them again, blocking their path.

"Are you really not going to care at all? This is the recognition of a mythical creature! Even if I'm just a small snake who hasn't come of age, I can become a powerful divine beast in the future!"

The little plump snake angrily stood up on its tail and hopped on the ground.

"Are you lacking in homework and can't find anything to do? If you're a divine beast, why are you always pestering us two humans?" Yarrow said impatiently.

"Woo…"

The plump snake suddenly stuttered a little, turned its head, and muttered softly: "I, I just wanted to test the character of humans."

"Goodbye."

Yarrow simply said, bypassing it and continuing to walk.

"Okay! I admit it! I admit it, okay! I've been trapped in this secret realm for more than three months, I just want to go home!"

The plump snake suddenly pounced up, its soft body缠住Yarrow's left leg, its pair of beautiful big eyes looking at him tearfully.

"I see you all have those teleportation crystals on your hands, you must have come from outside the secret realm, right? Please, take me out of here with you!"

The little plump snake finally took off its disguise, crying as it spoke.

"You… you let go of me!" Yarrow lifted his leg and tried to shake it off forcefully.

"I won't let go if you don't agree!" the little plump snake howled.

"Alright, alright! We'll listen to you, okay, let go of me quickly!"

The plump snake then slid off his leg, tears still in the corners of its eyes, looking at him aggrievedly.

Yarrow frowned as he looked at it: "Speak, you said you also came from outside the secret realm, what's going on?"

"I, I came sneaking in three months ago. At that time, I heard that there were treasures inside that could make me grow up immediately, so I secretly sneaked in, but it's been three months, and I haven't seen any treasures, and I can't even get out, boo hoo hoo…"

The little plump snake cried.

"I didn't meet you two until today. Seeing the gems you're wearing on your hands, I knew you were also from outside the secret realm, so I came to ask you for help."
