Chapter 429: The Unfaithful Man Stole Your Magic Pearl
Upon witnessing this scene, the man concluded that the flower spirit was indeed a snake spirit and was immediately frightened away. The flower spirit, aware that it was the doing of the blue-spotted snake, became enraged. It tore off the flower vine and violently thrashed the snake, leaving it barely alive before tossing it back into the water.
The man wanted to escape from the flower spirit, but being a mere mortal, he was no match for her. The flower spirit swiftly captured the man and imprisoned him in a cave, making him her plaything.
Several days passed, and the blue-spotted snake's injuries had healed. It quietly made its way to the cave, planning to seize back the Magic Pearl when the opportunity arose. However, to its surprise, the man had already beaten it to it.
In the cave at this moment, the man had vanished without a trace, leaving only the lonely flower spirit behind. Her once snow-white body had now become transparent, and her figure gradually diminished while her features became less distinct.
Upon seeing the blue-spotted snake, the flower spirit cried, "That unfaithful man sucked away my Magic Pearl during our passionate kiss. No, it was your Magic Pearl that he sucked. I'm now pregnant and unable to use my powers. Ling'er, if you want to retrieve your Magic Pearl, go find that man named Bravehart. He's a renowned director..."
The blue-spotted snake had no idea where to find this Bravehart and looked completely bewildered.
With great sorrow, the flower spirit said, "Ling'er, I have taken possession of your Magic Pearl, and everything that has happened is my retribution. I am sorry for my actions and deserving of punishment. I do not seek your forgiveness, only hoping that you can retrieve your Magic Pearl as soon as possible.
If you feel your powers are insufficient, you can consume me. By doing so, you will gain my powers. However, I am currently pregnant, and if you consume me, you will have to bear my unborn child..."
Bearing the flower spirit's child? That was out of the question!
The blue-spotted snake decisively turned its head and swam towards the hot spring.
A few days later, evening approached.
Thomas brought Owen to the hot spring for a bath.
The blue-spotted snake remained submerged in the water.
It had long been familiar with Owen. Many years ago, this fellow was just a tiny child taken in by a group of monkeys. After growing up, he left the monkey tribe and lived alone in a cave, embarking on the path of cultivation. Occasionally, he would catch snakes and drink their blood. It had been caught by him once before, but after drinking its blood, he released it without killing it.
The blue-spotted snake held no affection for Owen, considering that he had bitten it and drank its blood.
It had always thought Owen was quite ugly, possibly the ugliest man in existence.
However, to its surprise, after Thomas finished bathing Owen, he transformed into the most beautiful man in the world, surpassing the director Bravehart in beauty by a thousandfold.
It became captivated by Owen's beauty and couldn't help but follow him when he led Thomas to the cave to view the scriptures. But Thomas happened to notice it and shouted loudly, "Snake! Snake!"
Enraged, the blue-spotted snake fiercely...
A small snake bit Thomas unprovoked.
The snake had always admired him, and in order to please him, it fiercely sank its teeth into Thomas's buttocks and refused to let go.
Owen promptly pulled the snake off, without harming it, and released it.
Upon witnessing this scene, the blue patterned snake instantaneously developed a deep fondness for Owen.
Later on, it was discovered that Owen had a younger brother and sister-in-law, and the sister-in-law, Ivy, was breathtakingly beautiful. Owen was very fond of her, which immediately sparked jealousy in the blue patterned snake.
Just as Alexander and Owen were tending to Thomas's wound, the blue patterned snake transformed into a beam of white light, enticing Ivy towards the entrance of the cave.
It initially intended to put on a little display for Ivy, but to its surprise, Ivy was not an ordinary person after all. She possessed a Magic Pearl within her body!
