Chapter 5 Going Home

  Looking at the corpse of this large wild cat, I hesitated for a moment and decided not to eat it after all. Its so big, who knows if its a normal wild cat or not? What if I ate it and got diarrhea?

  I didnt bother with it anymore, then I swam back to that glowing mushroom again, circled around it, and still couldnt figure out what was special about it, except that it glowed.

  By the way, there is another point, it grows on a stone platform, without soil, I dont know how it grows, and I also saw for the first time that plants can grow on stones. Then I gently smelled it, hmm, it smells quite good.

  Never mind all that, I just lay down beside it and greedily absorbed its radiance, warm and cozy, in a word, awesome...

  I dont know how long it took, but I gradually fell asleep. When I woke up, my whole body felt very comfortable, and the wound on my tail that was bitten by a wild cat had also healed. However, when I saw that glowing mushroom, it seemed to have withered away.

  I jumped in fright: "It cant be that Ive sucked it dry like this? This is also too wasteful!"

  But its too late now, I have no choice but to slowly crawl down to the stone platform. Once again, I carefully examined this cave, but after circling around for a long time, I still couldnt find anything useful.

  Just as I was about to crawl out, I suddenly felt numb all over my body. According to the snakes original memory, I knew that I was going to molt.

  I had no choice but to slowly crawl back, feeling very uncomfortable on my body, and then rubbed back and forth along the edge of the stone platform, but couldnt rub it off.

  I recalled that the snakes shedding process took about one to two hours, so I couldnt rush it and just slowly rubbed against the stone pedestal.

  Finally, I have shed my snake skin. I let out a long sigh of relief and turned to look at my new skin, which felt more vibrant and beautiful than before. I nodded in satisfaction.

  Whats even stranger is that after I changed my skin, I feel like the power in my body has increased, and my eyes are also much brighter than before. If I were to face that big wild cat again now, Im sure it wouldnt be able to hurt me.

  After shedding my skin, Im ready to go out and take a look. Now I dont know how long Ive been in here either, and I also cant wear a watch like before, so I have no idea what time it is now.

  I slowly crawled to the edge of the manhole where I came down last time, then looked up and it seemed like it was already evening now. I felt around and there were no human voices outside.

  He carefully climbed up and looked around, but there was no one. However, this manhole cover was also relatively secluded, so it was normal that there was no one here.

  I crawled outside and slithered to where there were more people, I wanted to see where this place was. Since I still retained memories of my past life, I could also recognize characters, which is also one of the strengths of being a snake.

  I took a look around and saw the road signs in front of me, I was overjoyed to find that after turning into a snake, I hadnt been transported to somewhere else, because I was still in my own city.

  Thinking of this, I immediately found my way back home, wanting to go back and see how my parents were doing, they must be very sad.

  Our home is in the small district behind the commercial street, Im crawling hard towards home, and at this moment, Im stunned by my own speed. Although its not as fast as a car, its not much slower either. I didnt expect to be able to crawl so fast, I remember that snakes cant be this fast, right?

  But why do I have this speed? Is it because I absorbed the light from that glowing mushroom and became like this? Hmm, it must be so.

  Seeing my own speed, I was delighted a lot. Just when we were about to arrive at our home, I suddenly saw a familiar figure beside an alley.

  Isnt she Zhang Zi Qi, my former university classmate? What is she doing here? Wait a minute! What are the two men in black beside her doing?

  I slowly approached them and only then did I see clearly that they were playing a game of snatch, and it seemed to be a robbery, damn it, who is Zhang Ziqi?

  She was my campus belle back in college, although I didnt manage to win her over, but you two arent good enough for her either.

  They didnt discover my existence because my movements were light and it was at night, so I slowly crawled to the back of those two people.

  Those two were completely unaware, holding a dagger and threatening Zhang Ziyi: "Beauty, are you going to take it off or not? My brothers cant wait any longer. If you dont take it off, dont blame my brothers for being rude to you."

  Zhang Zi Qi was now frightened to the point of losing her composure, seeing both men pointing their knives at her. However, she seemed to care about her own body and bit her lip tightly, shaking her head vigorously.

  Seeing this scene, I felt a surge of anger in my heart. Damn it! They actually drove my goddess to such an extent. I didnt think much more and slowly raised my head from behind them, spitting out a watermelon seed.

  They suddenly saw me across from Zhang Zi Qi, immediately covering her mouth with her hand, staring at me with wide eyes, and the two of them saw Zhang Zi Qis expression.

  I dont know what happened, just as I was about to turn my head back, I suddenly launched an attack and bit one of them on the hand. The person felt pain and was startled by my sudden movement.

  "Ah! What a huge snake!"

  I ignored him and then suddenly pounced on another person. The other person just reacted, wanting to stab me with a dagger, but his movements were no match for my speed.

  I bit down on his hand, but I didnt inject venom into them. Although I wanted to kill them, I eventually gave up. After all, I had just become a snake and still retained some of the kindness of being human.

  The two of them were frightened out of their wits, let out a loud cry, and then dropped the dagger and ran away. At this point, only Zhang Zi Qi was left standing there, staring blankly at me.

  "Please dont come over, dont bite me!"

  I was speechless for a moment, I wasnt even this scared of those two thugs just now. Youre welcome, I saved you, but youre actually more afraid of me, however, how would I know? Its every womans nature to be afraid of snakes.

  I saw her fear me, a bitter smile in my heart, then shook my head, but I didnt turn around and leave, instead I slowly crawled towards her, wanting to take a good look at the goddess I had secretly admired.

  But as soon as I crawled beside her, she suddenly sat down on the ground. I knew that her legs had gone weak, but the next moment, she found me slowly crawling onto her leg.

  However, he didnt bite her, and she slowly let out a breath of relief. At this time, I also showed my affection to her, crawling onto her chest, raising my head, and licking her gently.

  "Ah!" But this again gave her a fright.

  I immediately retreated from her chest, although I felt that doing so was somewhat shameless, equivalent to indirectly touching someone and taking advantage of them, but I really wanted to make friends with her.

  However, seeing her like this, I could only take a deep look at her and then slowly crawled away, but I seemed to hear her say softly behind me: "Why do I feel that the snake looks at me as if it knows me?"

  I was stunned for a moment, but I didnt look back and crawled home...

  Seeing this familiar home, I felt a wave of emotion. Since my home is on the second floor, I could only climb in through the window. When I climbed into the house...

  I saw my photo in the living room, it seems that both parents thought I was dead, so... Alas, thinking of my parents nostalgia and sorrow for me, I also feel a bit sad. Originally wanted to cry, but just found out that I had turned into a snake, cant cry.

  I quietly crept into my parents room to take a look at the two old people, they were already asleep at this time, I stood still for a long time, and then retreated back to my own room.

  My room is still the same, clean and tidy, it seems like theres no difference without me, but they still keep their original habits, cleaning up my place for me.

  But what can be done now? All of this is because of that driver, yes, its him, I want to kill him. Thinking of this, I suddenly feel hatred filling my chest, because it was him who made me lose my parents, and made them suffer unbearably.

  "Hmm, Ive got an idea. Previously, my parents must have reported to the police, but they didnt have any evidence, so the police probably couldnt catch the murderer. But now if I write all this down on paper and show it to my parents, then we go report to the police again, I wonder if itll work?" I suddenly thought of this plan.
