Pampered Beasts: Beautiful Actress, Many Children, Many Blessings

A few bold young males, instead of running away, gripped their bone knives and cautiously looked around.

"Where's the snake? Where's the snake?"

Following Nuannuan's trembling fingers, everyone's gaze fell on Xixi, or rather, on the snake head peeking out from Xixi's collar!

"By the Beast God, please bless this female and help her safely overcome this calamity!"

Some people put their hands together in prayer, their eyes filled with pity and helplessness as they looked at Xixi.

Some people, who were originally holding bone knives with great momentum, dropped their bone knives to the ground the moment they saw the white snake, and began to tremble uncontrollably, their faces filled with panic.

Others turned and ran, but after only a few steps, they transformed into beasts and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Unfortunately, no one dared to step forward. Even Nuannuan just stood there, arms crossed, trembling and sobbing.

"Waaah... What... what should I do... Xixi... you... this damned snake... how could it get past the guards... how could it crawl onto me... if I get bitten... oh my god..."

Only Xixi remained calm, though her calm demeanor was tinged with doubt.

"That little white one isn't poisonous... um... it must be a juvenile snake, it's only been born a short time!"

After she finished speaking, everyone present looked at her as if she were a fool, as if she were saying something stupid.

Xi Xi had no choice but to reach into her collar and, amidst the horrified gazes of the crowd, pull out the little white snake, place it in her palm, and gently stroke its head.

"Look, he's very well-behaved, so cute, and he doesn't bite at all!" As she spoke, Xixi even touched the little white snake's forehead to forehead in front of everyone.

Xi Xi's actions, while causing everyone to be frightened, also aroused a sense of doubt.

"Strange, judging from the little female's behavior, it seems that the snake didn't sneak in, but is familiar with her!"

"What do you mean by 'familiar'? Even if this snake is still in its juvenile stage, a snake is still a snake. Snakes are the natural enemy of us cat-beastmen. Every year, countless members of our tribe are poisoned to death by snakes while hunting!"

"Yes, once you take a bite, there's no chance of saving you. It's practically impossible to defend against!"

"Moreover, this snake is a notorious king cobra, extremely venomous!"

"Exactly! Even though this one is white and small, a king cobra is a king cobra. See how it's standing upright? Those occipital scales—it's definitely a king cobra, no doubt about it!"

In the Beast World, some orcs have the exact same beast form as magical beasts, such as the King Cobra!

The most distinctive feature that sets the king cobra apart from other snakes is the occipital scales on its neck!

Following the direction everyone was pointing, Xixi also saw Xiaobai's pillow scales, a small pair that reflected a faint light in the sunlight. She subconsciously reached out to touch them.

It's smooth and feels nice!

For some reason, even though what these people said made a lot of sense, and even though she was pretty sure that the snake really was a king cobra, she felt a strange sense of familiarity with it. Her intuition told her that the snake would never hurt her.

"Good heavens! The occipital scales are a king cobra's weak point, and this little female actually dared to reach out and touch them! She's practically courting death!"

Just when everyone thought that the king cobra would open its blood-red mouth and bite Xixi hard, they were surprised to find that the snake stood obediently in place, and even rubbed against Xixi affectionately when she reached out her hand.

"Could it be that this is a stupid snake?"

"Yeah, hamsters are easier to swallow than cats, so why doesn't this king cobra eat her?"

The commotion finally caught the attention of the traveling merchants. One of them immediately recognized the white snake coiled in Xixi's hand and exclaimed in astonishment:

"Young Master, what are you doing here?"

"Hey? Young Master, why have you grown so small?"

"Young master, why aren't you helping the master unload the goods? What are you doing clinging to that female's hands?"

"Good heavens! Young master, you actually licked a little female's hand! Have you forgotten the solemn oath you swore?"

……

After being greeted with "Young Master" repeatedly, Xixi felt her palms go empty, and a white-clad youth appeared out of nowhere in front of her:

"So noisy! Get out! All of you get out! If you're jealous that I have a little female to dote on, just say so. What are you old bachelors doing here being so sour about!"

A traveling merchant with a scar on his face swaggered over with a wicked grin. "Hehehe...looks like the oath is really going to come true!"

"A poisonous oath? What poisonous oath?" Xixi recognized the person as the brother who had always followed her fourth uncle on his business trips. He was nicknamed Scarface because of a scar across his face.

It is said that his becoming a wandering orc was related to the origin of this scar, so after leaving the tribe, he changed his name and never mentioned his past again.

Over the years, he had always followed his fourth uncle on his business trips. Even when his fourth uncle was pursuing his mother, Scarface single-handedly led the traveling merchant team. After his fourth uncle returned, he returned the leadership to his fourth uncle without any hesitation.

It can be said that Scarface is Uncle Si's right-hand man. With him around, not only Uncle Si feels at ease, but Xixi also feels at ease.

"Him? Ha... It's troublesome to even talk about females. He's pretentious and incompetent. Only a fool would be worthy of a wife. To show his determination to never be worthy of a wife, he made a vow that if he broke it, he would lose every bet!" Following Xixi's question, Scarface explained without reservation.

"You know, on the day this kid was born, he chose a die during his first birthday celebration! Over the years, wherever he goes, he goes to a casino and wins every time, never losing! Tsk... In the future, our God of Gamblers will lose every time he gambles, just thinking about it makes me happy!"

The young man in white glared at the other man in annoyance, throwing one glare after another, but the scarred old fox was completely unaffected and continued to speak, adding many interjections to make it sarcastic and amusing.

As for Xixi, she was stunned by what was said and it took her a while to realize that the other party was teasing her and the boy in white.

She quickly waved her hand, "You misunderstood, I...I haven't even asked your name yet..."

"Yunxi." Hearing the little female ask his name, the boy's eyes lit up, and he quickly turned around to look at her and said.

However, Xixi's next words completely chilled him to the bone, "Um... I have no relation to Yunxi at all. This is the first time we've met. Please don't misunderstand..." She would feel guilty if she didn't let the God of Gamblers fall from grace!

"Never seen it before?" Yunxi emphasized the word "seen," his fair face flushed with a hint of color, clearly shocked, yet also aggrieved and hurt.
