Reborn As a Snake, I Can Absorb Fear

Chapter 22 Catching the SnakeJiang Feng watched boredly as this group of women started arguing over him again.

In fact, with his current strength, if he wanted to go in, this group of women would not be able to stop him at all.

However, since he had promised Su Ling to be a well-behaved snake, he could only stay quietly; otherwise, he would end up making Su Ling pay for damages again.

”Su Ling, you could actually just leave the snake downstairs and let it stay here. Why do you insist on bringing it into the Girls Dormitory?”

Seeing that the pressure was sufficient, Chen Qian seized the opportunity to suggest this. However, she was sneering inwardly,

’Su Ling, oh Su Ling, as long as you leave the snake here, you won’t see your snake tomorrow.’

”Yeah! Su Ling, you can just leave the snake downstairs at the Girls Dormitory, why bring it inside?” Seeing this, other students also joined in the persuasion.

”But, I’m worried about leaving Xiao Bai here.” Su Ling hesitated. If Xiao Bai went off to scare people again, she wouldn’t have enough money to pay for it.

”Why are you worried? Didn’t you say your snake doesn’t hurt people? Are you lying? If that’s the case, then we definitely can’t let you bring the snake inside.”

Chen Qian seemed to have Su Ling cornered; every rebuttal left Su Ling speechless.

”I...” Su Ling didn’t know how to respond. It wouldn’t do to say Xiao Bai would hurt people, but it also wouldn’t do to say it wouldn’t.

”What’s wrong? Did I hit the nail on the head? Your snake does hurt people.”

”No, Xiao Bai wouldn’t hurt anyone.”

”If that’s the case, then why are you afraid to let it stay downstairs?”

”I’m afraid that if no one looks after it, Xiao Bai will get scared.”

”Su Ling, it’s already good enough that it doesn’t come out to scare people. Who could possibly scare it? I think you’re just feeling guilty.”

Seeing Chen Qian and the others being so heartless, Su Ling felt a wave of grievance.

Did she really have to leave Xiao Bai downstairs? What if Xiao Bai went to hurt someone again? She really couldn’t afford to pay for that.

”Chen Qian, Xiao Bai definitely won’t hurt anyone under my supervision, but what if it hurts someone without me there? Will you take responsibility?”

”Why should I be responsible if it hurts someone?”

”Because you’re the one who told me to leave it here.”

”You...” Chen Qian looked furious.

”Student Su Ling, right? It’s not that I, the Dormitory Manager, want to make things difficult for you, but I must be responsible for the other students living inside. My suggestion is that you had better have your family or friends take the snake away, so you won’t have to worry about it hurting anyone.” At this moment, the Dormitory Manager said in a deep voice.

”No, it can’t be taken away!” Chen Qian immediately stopped her. If the snake was taken away, how could she sell it?

Chen Qian’s words left everyone puzzled. ”Chen Qian, what are you saying? Wouldn’t it be better if it were taken away?”

”I, I mean it can’t be taken away right now. Su Ling hasn’t made preparations in advance, and it’s too late to have her family or friends come to pick up the snake. Her family and friends also wouldn’t have a place to keep the snake. We are making it too difficult for her. Although I don’t want her to bring the snake into the Girls Dormitory, she is, after all, a classmate who shares a room with me. We shouldn’t force her like this.”

”Chen Qian, I didn’t expect you to be so considerate of your classmates.” A student couldn’t help but exclaim, and the way they looked at Chen Qian was full of respect.

”Yeah, Chen Qian, by comparison, Su Ling is far worse than you; she only cares about herself and doesn’t consider others at all.”

Listening to the praise from the surrounding students, Chen Qian felt smug and secretly congratulated herself on her quick wit.

Su Ling looked at Chen Qian with suspicion. She knew Chen Qian’s character all too well; how could she possibly sympathize with her? There was definitely something fishy going on.

Standing to the side, Jiang Feng also heard that something was off with Chen Qian. Given Chen Qian’s previous temperament, she should have been dying to have Su Ling send the snake away immediately.

This woman has a scheme, and it’s most likely directed at me.

Jiang Feng’s snake eyes narrowed slightly. He stared fixedly at Chen Qian, thinking about how to take revenge on her.

Jiang Feng nudged Su Ling with his snake head. He didn’t know how to communicate with Su Ling, but he intended to stay downstairs to see what kind of trick Chen Qian was up to.

After nudging her, Jiang Feng crawled into the greenery next to the Girls Dormitory building.

”Xiao Bai, where are you going?” Su Ling hurriedly chased after him.

Jiang Feng poked his snake head out and nudged Su Ling again, signaling her to leave.

Su Ling didn’t understand what he meant and touched Jiang Feng’s head. ”Xiao Bai, what’s wrong with you?”

Jiang Feng was speechless, then retracted his snake head and stopped paying attention to Su Ling.

Su Ling looked stunned for a moment. After a while, she seemed to understand Jiang Feng’s intention. ”Xiao Bai, are you wanting to stay here?”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Feng nodded his snake head.

Seeing such a human-like action from Jiang Feng, a flash of surprise crossed Su Ling’s eyes. Xiao Bai could actually understand her words!

”Xiao Bai, I know you can understand me. You must stay here properly and not run around, okay? Most importantly, you are not allowed to go and scare people anymore.”

To dismiss Su Ling, who still wanted to keep nagging, Jiang Feng nodded his snake head again.

After receiving another nod from Xiao Bai, Su Ling looked overjoyed. Since Xiao Bai was so obedient, she believed that Xiao Bai would definitely not continue to scare people.

Su Ling also abandoned the idea of forcibly bringing Xiao Bai into the Girls Dormitory.

Seeing that Su Ling was no longer insisting and had left the snake downstairs, Chen Qian revealed a smile of a scheme fulfilled. She hurriedly took out her phone and sent a ”success” emoji to Jiang Hao.

Upon receiving Chen Qian’s message, Jiang Hao was overjoyed and immediately dialed a number.

”Hello, is this Brother Hai? This is Jiang Hao. I’m here...”

After Su Ling and the others left, the entrance to the dormitory finally quieted down. Jiang Feng hid alone in the greenery, and being bored, he continued to cultivate the Star Art.

He hadn’t followed Su Ling to the dormitory not only because he wanted to see what kind of scheme Chen Qian was up to, but also because he thought he could cultivate the Star Art outside.

Time passed slowly, and fewer and fewer students were entering and leaving the Girls Dormitory.

The lights in many dorm rooms had been turned off. Jiang Feng opened his snake eyes; it was now the dead of night.

Just then, Jiang Feng felt two figures approaching, and he quietly hid his snake body.

”Brother Hai, the snake should be nearby. This is the place where my girlfriend took the photo.” Jiang Hao said from the side.

”Good, let’s spread the bait around first.” The man named Brother Hai took out two packages and threw one to Jiang Hao.

”Brother Hai, is this stuff going to work?” Jiang Hao looked suspiciously at the item in his hand.

”Rest assured! As long as the snake eats it, I guarantee it will drop within three steps.”

”Then what if the snake doesn’t eat it?”

”We specially coated this with a scent that snakes like. Once it smells it, it will definitely eat it.”

”That’s good. You guys are the professionals, Brother Hai.”

Damn, they actually want to catch me.

Hearing the conversation between the two, Jiang Feng, who was hiding in the greenery, felt a surge of anger. If he hadn’t been able to understand human speech, he really would have fallen for these two bastards’ trap.

Jiang Feng sniffed with his snake nose and indeed smelled an irresistible temptation.

He hadn’t eaten for three days since arriving here. Although increasing his Physique had reduced his hunger, the instinct to eat was still there after all.

Jiang Feng swallowed his saliva. These two bastards were truly not human, using this to test a snake.

Jiang Feng forcibly resisted the urge to eat the food the two had placed. He slowly approached the two, and his Evil Snake Domain slowly released.

”Brother Hai, why hasn’t the snake come out to eat yet!”

”What’s the rush? Wait a little longer.”

”That’s not right, Brother Hai. Why is everything pitch black around here? Where is the dormitory building?”
