Chapter 192: The Slain Snake Servant
"Fatten it up a bit more, roasted goose tastes better," I said.
With a slurping sound.
I heard the sound of this guy slurping his drool.
Banter a few words with Yu Rongling.
I perked up a bit.
Went to the restroom to wash my face.
Went downstairs to the kitchen, prepared some chicken, and fed it to Xiao Mi.
Then, I let it roam on its own, planning to get some work done.
First outside, there was a thunderous roar.
Then cries of astonishment followed, reaching the back of the kitchen, "Thunder on a clear day, that's really bizarre."
"Exactly, not a cloud in sight."
"What's stranger is that it actually struck someone dead."
"Really bad luck, Chen Decheng's business is definitely going to suffer."
I heard someone had been struck dead by lightning.
Immediately thought of the Thunder Charm pasted at the door and hurried to the entrance.
I saw a person on the ground, smoking from a lightning strike, wearing a big baggy hoodie, and the hood covered his face making it unclear.
Yu Longting's talismans only kill demons and ghosts, how could it have struck a normal person?
I was somewhat panicked, but since I was wearing rubber gloves for work, I directly went to check on the person.
Someone kindly warned, "Be careful of electric shock, he was struck by lightning."
"No worries, I'm wearing rubber gloves, they're insulated," I said while turning the person face up.
I've heard that people struck by electricity have been revived with CPR.
Before I removed his hood, a gigantic snake head covered in scales shocked me to the core.
My eyes widened in disbelief.
How is this a person?
Clearly, it's a Snake Servant with a snake head and a human body.
Its body was colorfully patterned, enough to make one's skin crawl.
"I'm out," I gasped in shock.
But something seemed to stir in my belly, cold Demonic Qi rising from Little Dumpling.
I distinctly felt him waking up, his eyes opening a crimson red, even drooling, "Roasted Snake Servant... eat... I want to eat roasted Snake Servant... I'm hungry..."
Luckily everyone's attention was on the Snake Servant, nobody noticed the strange and hoarse voice of Dumpling coming from inside me.
The spikey sound of sharp intakes of breath surrounded me, someone uncertainly said, "Did this person fall? Wearing a snake head mask? That must be it!!"
"What happened?" Yu Rongling came out, poking his ears, saw the dead Snake Servant on the ground, narrowed his eyes, and chuckled coldly, "Isn't this the realistic Medusa I ordered a few days ago, it arrived so quickly, jeez, look how scared you all are, a bunch of bumpkins, haven't seen a realistic snake person before?"
This guy, with his pale hand, grabbed the Snake Servant by the neck, slung it over his shoulder, and walked back into the restaurant with many curious people following him.
However, Yu Rongling went straight into the back yard which is closed to outside visitors, threw the Snake Servant's corpse on the ground, eyes sparkling, "Where should I start eating? Truly a delicacy."
"Cough, are you sure you want to eat that? That's your kin," I coughed lightly, not understanding.
Yu Rongling sniffed the Snake Servant, "Isn't it common in nature for snakes to eat other snakes?"
"..."
My stomach cramped, feeling extremely nauseous.
Yu Rongling's fragile ego shattered, "Damn, Sis-in-law this is natural, why are you looking at me like I'm a freak, my image…"
"Crunch... Crunch..."
The crisp chewing noise began, Yu Rongling and I looked down simultaneously.
A tiny, slender black cat started crisply nibbling on the Snake Servant's head.
Yu Rongling immediately jumped up, biting into the other side of the Snake Servant, competing with Xiao Mi, frantically devouring as if afraid of falling behind and getting less, "This damn cat, have you no honor? This was clearly mine, why are you stealing it?"
