Chapter 94. The Flattering Little Swallow
Hell's Kitchen.
The enticing aroma wafted from the kitchen, making one's mouth water.
Ji Yuan lay on the sofa with his eyes closed, talking to the little snake in his consciousness space.
"You mean you don't even know when you were born?"
The little snake, surrounded by stars, nodded, squinted its eyes, and stretched its body.
Ji Yuan frowned. He had been hoping to get some answers from the snake, but it seemed to know nothing about it. Over countless years...
It just eats and sleeps, sleeps and eats, without paying attention to what's happening in the outside world; it's exactly like a snake-shaped fat pig.
"Then what is the meaning of your life?"
Ji Yuan tried his best to make his meaning as straightforward as possible, so that the snake wouldn't misunderstand.
The little snake shook its head, stretched its body, and rolled around in the space of consciousness.
A clear thought came through: it was too hungry to speak without eating and needed to be fed.
Ji Yuan rubbed his temples. He felt that this snake was just trying to freeload, eager to eat without knowing anything about the situation.
"Alright, alright, here you go."
A beam of evolutionary light entered the little snake's body, and the little snake immediately squinted its eyes comfortably.
Ji Yuan's Evolution Ray is a great tonic for the little snake; it's not only delicious but also highly effective. According to Ji Yuan, the Evolution Ray can accelerate its own growth.
This is why the little snake exclaimed how fragrant and delicious it was after taking a bite of the wingless Noah's phantom.
The little snake comfortably coiled up, its lazy thoughts emanating from it: "I live to—prevent the existence of anything that could harm parallel universes, and if it does—I will devour it—"
"Could this snake be some kind of manifestation of the will of the universe?" Ji Yuan wondered.
According to the little snake, when an entity appears in the universe that disrupts the stability of the multiverse and no one in the universe can resist it, it will appear, devour the instigator, and maintain the balance and stability of the multiverse.
It's like a defense mechanism of the universe, preventing the emergence of chaotic and evil super-beings.
For example, there are beings like the Dark Strange and the Collapse Witch that threaten the entire multiverse.
If that's the case, then the little snake's eating and sleeping routine makes perfect sense, since it only has one mission: to devour the super boss that could potentially destroy the multiverse.
It doesn't matter if I can't swallow it; if I die, I die. My main approach is to be Buddhist.
"So what are your thoughts now? Do you want to go back?" Ji Yuan asked.
The little snake shook its head and slowly closed its eyes: "You are—my boss, I—want to follow you, that place—is no fun."
He didn't want to go back to that awful place; it was too boring.
"Great!" Ji Yuan's eyes lit up. He hadn't expected this snake to be so trustworthy, acknowledging someone as its leader and doing so without any scruples.
All I need to do is give up a tiny bit of evolutionary light to get a top-tier fighter. Why not?
Do you have a name?
The little snake shook its head.
"Since your duty is to devour and destroy the universe, how about calling you Little Devourer?" Ji Yuan, who was notoriously bad at naming things, quickly gave the little snake a name.
The little snake nodded. It didn't know anything about names, so it didn't matter what it was called.
"Alright, from now on you'll be called Xiao Tun. I'll introduce you to my friends later," Ji Yuan said with a smile.
Xiao Tun's body can be controlled in size at will, from being as large as encircling the Nine Realms to being as small as a speck of dust, all in the blink of an eye.
Opening his eyes, the little swallow, which was located in the consciousness space, suddenly appeared in Ji Yuan's hand.
Its jet-black body is adorned with stars and galaxies, like a condensation of galaxies, making it appear extremely mysterious and noble—that is, without looking at its intelligent gaze.
The small plate was wrapped around Ji Yuan's wrist, its head stretched towards the kitchen, its thoughts slightly fluctuating, expressing its desire to eat.
"You eat this too? Okay, I'll get you a plate of meat later." Ji Yuan nodded slightly. He hadn't expected that Xiao Tun would even eat human food. He had thought it was something high-class that consumed energy.
Soon, Wanda had prepared steak and soup again. As she carried the food with magic, she called out softly, "Pietro, Peter, stop playing around, dinner's ready."
Upon hearing Wanda's call, Pietro and Peter left the computer. As soon as they stepped outside, they saw the exquisite little snake coiled in Ji Yuan's hand, as beautiful as a galaxy.
The two were not afraid at all and quickly moved closer.
"Mr. Ji Yuan, is this your magical pet? It—it's so beautiful." Peter reached out, wanting to touch it.
Thinking to himself that this snake didn't have the coldness of ordinary snakes, but instead had a high-class aura, he thought, "No wonder it's Mr. Ji Yuan, even his magical pets are so mysterious."
Snapped!
Little Swallow's tail lashed at Peter's fingers at a speed invisible to the naked eye.
"what!"
Peter yelled and pulled his finger back in terror. It didn't hurt much, but it was extremely insulting. He could clearly feel the disgust in the air.
Most importantly, his spider sense didn't react at all, which is simply unbelievable.
It should be noted that his spider senses can now cover a radius of two kilometers and are extremely sensitive, so he was struck without any warning.
Peter looked at Little Tun with surprise.
Pietro chuckled and patted Peter on the shoulder: "Peter, it seems this beautiful little snake doesn't like you."
Let me do it.
He slowly stepped forward, gently placed his hand on hers, and softly murmured, "I have magical talent, don't hit me."
"I have magical talent, don't hit me."
"Slap! Slap!"
Little Swallow gave Pietro two tails, this time with the attribute of pain.
"ah!!"
Pietro immediately cried out, two red marks appearing on his palm, burning with pain.
Peter, standing to the side, watched him with a smile, realizing he'd been slapped twice and was even worse off than himself.
A clatter sounded as plates and bowls landed on the table; Wanda had brought the food.
At the same time, she also saw the beautiful little snake in Ji Yuan's hand. For some reason, she felt an inexplicable fondness for it the moment she saw it: "Brother Ji Yuan, what kind of snake is this? It's so beautiful, and—"
Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Tun lightly flicked Ji Yuan's hand, its body drawing an elegant starry trajectory in the air before landing steadily on Wanda's shoulder.
It squinted its eyes contentedly and rubbed its head against Wanda's face with a fawning manner, acting as if it were an old friend.
Wanda gently stroked Little Swallow; its touch was warm and comfortable, and at the same time, the growth rate of the chaotic magic within her seemed to be accelerating.
Ji Yuan glanced at Peter and Pietro, who looked utterly hopeless, and then at Wanda, who looked on with doting affection.
Little Swallow is essentially a manifestation of cosmic energy, and naturally it has a favorable affinity for the power of chaos.
Ji Yuan slowly said, "This snake is called Little Swallow; let's just call it my magical partner."
