Chapter 23 p1: Transmigrated as the Abusive Story’s Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character
The word “eggs” echoed through the vast, silent cave.
Xin Yao, hearing the bold declaration, stared at the white snake in astonishment. It could talk!
Then, as the words registered in her mind, a wave of embarrassment washed over her.
Shameless, absolutely shameless!
Even in this state, the lecherous snake was still thinking about that!
Her initial fear of being kidnapped by a snake in the middle of the night subsided slightly.
Whether it was Pei Yu or the giant white snake before her, they were both obsessed with the same thing.
Instead of worrying about being eaten, she should be worried about being forced to lay eggs.
Lay eggs? How?
She had no idea how to lay eggs! And how could two women even do that?!
And they weren’t even the same species! Absolutely not!
As Xin Yao’s mind raced, the white snake, now human-sized, tightened its coils around her.
Its smooth, cool scales brushed against her skin, sending shivers down her spine.
It was too tight.
Uncomfortable, Xin Yao glanced at the snake’s head resting near her face and, emboldened, gently pushed it away.
“I… I can’t lay eggs! You lay them yourself!”
Xin Yao’s long hair, usually tied back, was loose, a tangled mess after a night of being tossed around in the wind and snow.
The soft strands framed her face, making her look like a damsel in distress, captured by a dragon.
The white snake, its blood-red eyes lowered, gazed at Xin Yao’s flushed face in the soft light of the glowing pearls.
Its gaze lingered, its desire growing.
Unable to resist, it flicked its tongue out, tracing Xin Yao’s ear, then her cheek, finally reaching her lips.
Its tongue darted out, eager to explore her mouth.
It was getting out of hand.
The sensation of the snake’s tongue on her skin was both ticklish and embarrassing, a strange mix of fear and arousal.
Xin Yao’s heart pounded. Sensing the snake’s intention to kiss her, she pressed her lips together and turned her head away.
Perhaps mistaking her gentle evasion for playful teasing, the snake pursued her lips, its tongue darting out again.
This time, it landed on her neck and shoulder.
The snake paused, its playful mood shifting, its eyes darkening with a predatory glint.
Its mate smelled so sweet, her skin so soft.
It opened its mouth, wanting to taste every inch of her.
Its coils tightened around Xin Yao, holding her captive as its tongue explored her skin.
Unable to move, Xin Yao’s senses heightened, the snake’s tongue tracing a path from her cheek down her neck, then slipping beneath her collar, circling her chest.
Its tail tightened around her waist and legs, its grip inescapable.
Xin Yao, growing impatient, pushed against the snake’s head.
“Stop it! You’re too tight! Are you trying to kill me?!”
Annoyed and slightly hurt, her voice was sharp, echoing through the cave.
The snake, scolded by its mate, froze, its coils stilling.
Xin Yao glanced at its large eyes, so close to her face—their gaze filled with confusion, even a hint of grievance.
The snake was indeed feeling wronged. It didn’t understand, but it knew how to apologize.
It nudged its head against Xin Yao’s cheek.
“Don’t be angry.”
“Yaoyao, don’t be angry.”
Then, it seemed to realize that its behavior had been inappropriate.
Humans were different. They were fragile and needed sleep.
Its mate had been sleeping when it arrived.
Dragging her back to its den in the middle of the night must have upset her.
It had to appease its mate, not anger her.
The snake loosened its coils, slithering off Xin Yao’s body.
“Sleep, sleep!”
It retrieved Xin Yao’s pink pillow and gently placed it beside her, its tail tapping the bed invitingly.
“Wife, sleep!”
Xin Yao was baffled.
Dragging her back to its cave in the middle of the night, then suddenly urging her to sleep. What was it trying to do?
She frowned, remaining still, even letting out a small huff of annoyance.
The snake knew its mate was truly upset.
It lowered its head, its energy draining away, not daring to disturb her further.
Its tail flicked slightly as it slithered off the bed and onto the floor.
The floor wasn’t dirty.
In anticipation of Xin Yao’s arrival, a soft rug had been placed beneath the bed.
But the snake couldn’t bear to be too far from its mate, so it found a compromise.
It curled up on the rug beneath the bed, its head resting on the edge, its eyes fixed on Xin Yao.
Snakes were usually terrifying creatures, cold-blooded and ruthless.
But now, watching it wag its tail, its head tilted, its gaze pleading, it seemed almost… cute.
Xin Yao covered her mouth with her hand, coughing softly, her eyes glancing at the snake.
Pei Yu.
She must be in her possessive phase now.
She had been unstable lately, especially during their intimate moments, and the incident with Liu Yue that afternoon must have pushed her over the edge.
So, her possessive instincts manifested as kidnapping and hiding her mate away.
It reminded Xin Yao of stories about princesses being captured by dragons.
Xin Yao wasn’t a princess, and Pei Yu wasn’t a dragon.
But she had indeed been captured.
The thought made her both amused and exasperated.
Pei Yu, in her possessive phase, seemed driven purely by instinct, unable to understand or respond to reason. How long would this last? How long would she be trapped here?
Wait!
Would the crazy snake try to force her to lay eggs during this time?!
Xin Yao panicked, turning to look at the snake still wagging its tail by the bed, trying to communicate with it.
“Pei Yu, can you understand me? Can you take me home?”
The snake heard her, but it didn’t understand. It tilted its head, its gaze fixed on Xin Yao.
Xin Yao took a deep breath, softening her tone.
“Then tell me where we are, or give me a phone so I can call someone. Okay?”
The snake tilted its head again, still looking at her blankly.
Xin Yao was exasperated. She kicked her legs against the bed, then rolled over, pulling the blanket over her head.
“Fine! I’m going to sleep!”
As she turned, she saw Pei Yu’s head resting on the edge of the bed, her tail wagging, as if she had been banished to the floor.
She looked so pitiful.
Xin Yao sighed, patting the space beside her on the bed.
“Come up here and sleep.”
The snake’s eyes lit up.
Without hesitation, it slithered onto the bed, curling up beside Xin Yao.
This creature!
It had understood all along! It was just pretending! It had no intention of letting her go!
Xin Yao scoffed, about to say something, but then, as the light from the glowing pearls shimmered, she saw the snake’s cold scales and blood-red eyes, the reality of a cold-blooded creature lying beside her sinking in.
It was a little terrifying.
Even though she knew it was Pei Yu, and that she wouldn’t harm her, she couldn’t help but feel a primal fear.
She tried to close her eyes, but it was no use.
The snake’s slow, steady breathing echoed in her ears, unsettling her.
She turned over, her back to Pei Yu, trying to ignore her presence.
The snake, feeling its mate’s rejection, whined softly.
But it had finally made it onto the bed, close to its mate, and it didn’t dare to move too much, afraid of being banished again.
It carefully stretched its head out, trying to get a better look at Xin Yao’s sleeping face.
Just then, Xin Yao turned back.
Without opening her eyes, she snuggled closer to the snake, her head resting against its body.
She didn’t say anything, just reached out and wrapped her arms around Pei Yu’s waist.
Its mate still loved it!
The snake’s eyes lit up, its heart swelling with joy.
It lay perfectly still, afraid of disturbing the peaceful moment.
Then, gently, it nuzzled its head against Xin Yao’s.
Bathed in the soft light, they fell asleep in each other’s arms.
The next day…
The cold morning sunlight filtered through a crack in the stone wall, illuminating a corner of the cave.
Xin Yao, having slept poorly, struggled to open her eyes.
Her head throbbed, and her vision was blurry.
It took her a moment to regain her senses.
But as her eyes focused, they widened in horror.
Lying beside her in bed was a giant white snake!
Its head was lowered, its cold, reptilian eyes fixed on her, its tongue flicking out, almost touching her face.
Xin Yao’s mind went blank.
In a moment of pure terror, she kicked the snake out of bed.
It landed on the floor with a thud.
It didn’t hurt, but why had its mate suddenly kicked it out of bed?
The snake, its head lowered, slithered back towards the bed.
It didn’t dare to climb back up, instead resting its head on Xin Yao’s leg, nuzzling against her, its eyes pleading.
The weight of its head on her leg, the cool touch of its scales, jolted Xin Yao awake.
She rubbed her eyes, her gaze focusing on the large snake lying on her leg. She finally remembered.
Oh, right.
Pei Yu had brought her back to her den last night.
Her initial fear subsided, replaced by annoyance.
She poked the snake’s head with her finger.
“Serves you right for getting kicked out of bed.”
