Chapter 792 Six Little Snake Treasures
The Duke led Yu Zhizhi toward the bookstore.
Dusk had fallen, and the last vestiges of orange-red on the horizon were being swallowed by gray-blue.
In front of the bookstore, the lake was as calm as a piece of dark jade left in the valley, with only the slightest breeze causing very fine, silk-like ripples.
Those blue lotuses bloom in the heart of the lake, spreading out in large patches.
Yu Zhizhi followed the Duke up the wooden corridor of the study. Looking at the pond full of blooming blue lotuses, it felt as if time had suddenly turned back.
The bookstore is small and still has the same old furnishings.
The low desk facing the door was piled high with official documents and scrolls.
At this moment, the five snake babies, who looked like two-year-old human cubs, were all standing in front of the desk, looking expectantly at the rabbit female who had returned with her father.
Yu Zhizhi paused slightly: "They—"
The snake cubs have all developed human forms?!
Five snake babies stood in front of the desk, all dressed in exquisite white dresses, their youthful faces adorned with bright, golden vertical pupils.
One of the snake babies, resembling a human cub, took two steps forward and said, "Mother, you're finally back."
Yu Zhizhi looked at him, uncertain: "...Yunze?"
In her memory, Yunze was still that little snake cub, with a black body, coiled up and afraid to approach her.
Now, he looks like a little adult, with soft black hair covering his golden vertical pupils and a pale face, a perfect replica of the Duke.
The other four snake babies were not to be outdone.
They surrounded them.
Through the trials, they can transform into human form, but they are not yet very skilled at using this body, and they walk with a slight sway.
But they were willing to become like this; they wanted their mother to like them.
The snake on the far right was the first to step forward. Its short, dark blue hair swayed in the candlelight, and its little face was tense as it tried to maintain the composure of an elder brother.
“Mother, I am Yun Nuo.”
Yu Zhizhi looked at him and silently wrote down: "Yun Nuo".
When the little python Yunze was summoned before, it said that the clan leader had given it its original name, but the Duke had changed it for them all.
Yunze ranked second.
When he was still a baby python, he was afraid of frightening his mother, so he always restrained himself and dared not get too close to her.
So much time has passed in the blink of an eye. When Yu Zhizhi saw him again, her eyes stung slightly.
Without hesitation, she reached out and gently pulled him and Yun Nuo into her arms at the same time.
The two cubs in the middle walked over side by side, their steps perfectly synchronized, like looking in a mirror. They had dark blue hair, identical eyebrows and eyes, and even the angle at which they tilted their heads was exactly the same.
"Mother, my name is Yun Xiao~" The little snake baby raised its face with a bright smile.
The other one chimed in, "I am Yun Yao!"
Yu Zhizhi squatted down, hugged the two identical little snake babies, and softly replied, "Hmm~ Hello."
One little snake was left and couldn't wait to squeeze in.
"Mommy~ I'm Xiao Wu, Yun Nian!" Yun Nian raised her light golden vertical pupils, "Nian as in longing!"
One left...
Yu Zhizhi saw the little white snake.
Amon used to be very small, a tiny little thing. After a long time, it has grown big, as long as an arm.
It is the only thing that it has not yet acquired a human form.
However, it was seriously ill before and fell behind in the trial, but it is working hard to catch up!
Seeing his brothers surrounding their mother, Little Amon simply watched from the side. It coiled itself on the tea table, its small white snake tail slightly raised.
"Little Amon~" Yu Zhizhi called softly.
This shout brought tears to the little white snake's eyes.
It flew over in a flash and landed on Yu Zhizhi's shoulder, whimpering against her cheek: "Waaah~ Mommy!"
All five little snakes looked at the smallest snake. They had all been envious of it before, because only the sixth snake looked like its mother, with a white body and black eyes.
Hey.
Yunze suddenly asked, "Mother, why didn't Xiaoqi come back with us?"
Xiao Qi?
Yu Zhizhi was stunned for a moment before realizing that the "Little Seven" Yunze mentioned was Yun Lan!
The Duke actually told them!
She smiled and pinched Yunze's cheek: "Xiaoqi is still small, we have to wait until it grows up a bit."
Yu Zhizhi felt a mix of emotions as she thought about the future, that the baby dragonfish might come to the Valoran Empire to survive.
But that would be a long time from now.
The snake babies were clearly very interested when Xiaoqi Yunlan was mentioned.
The eldest, Yun Nuo, followed up with her own words, her golden vertical pupils fixed on Yu Zhizhi: "Little Seven...who does she look like?"
His question was simple and direct, carrying a serious sense of inquiry.
This question stumped Yu Zhizhi.
The baby arowana looks like a very purebred arowana. It probably resembles the High Priestess.
Yu Zhizhi couldn't help but glance outside the door. The Duke seemed to be busy with his own affairs and didn't seem to be paying attention to this side.
"Will he like Valoran?" Little Amon asked eagerly.
Yu Zhizhi nodded: "Yes."
"Is he afraid of the dark?" Yun Xiao asked immediately, his voice rising slightly at the end.
Yu Zhizhi smiled, recalling how the baby arowana always huddled behind Sui Sui. "He's a little scared. That's why we have to stay with him."
Yun Xiao nodded earnestly, his light golden vertical pupils conveying a sense of certainty that he had remembered.
"What color is his tail?" Yun Yao peeked out from behind her brother, her golden eyes sparkling.
Yu Zhizhi smiled and said, "Deep red, like a gemstone."
"Will it get bullied?"
Yun Nian's voice was muffled.
Yu Zhizhi looked into those pale gold, moist eyes: "With you all here, who would dare to bully him?"
Yun Nian's lips curved into a small smile: "Yes! We will protect Xiao Qi!"
The Duke watched them interact from outside the door, and when she saw the little rabbit surrounded by the snake babies, she smiled happily.
He did not disturb them.
After a long time, it's time to have a meal with the little snake babies.
Yu Zhizhi was in high spirits.
The dining table was laden with food. The little snakes sat around it, with Little Amon standing out the most. It moved its white snake body and came to Yu Zhizhi's side.
The meal was enjoyed by everyone.
As dusk fell, the lanterns under the eaves lit up one by one.
The little snake babies all need to go back and rest.
They bid farewell to the young female rabbits one by one.
When passing the Duke, bow respectfully.
Goodnight, Father.
The Duke looked at them and nodded slightly in response.
The corridor fell silent. A soft, crisp, and lingering sound came from the eaves of a copper bell, as if drawing a quiet end to the day's hustle and bustle.
He glanced at the drowsy little female rabbit sitting at the dining table, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
The Duke walked toward her.
Yu Zhizhi had traveled all day and spent a lot of energy taking care of the cub; she was so sleepy she could barely keep her eyes open. Smelling the familiar scent, she reached out and hugged the man who approached her.
“Your Grace…” she murmured.
See you tomorrow~
