As I passed by Song Mingyu's door, an inexplicable urge struck me to push the door open and check if he was asleep or if he had run out to meet Shopkeeper She.
In fact, I had done this many times before.
I had secretly perched on the windowsill to watch him write, take naps, and daydream. Eventually, I found my actions too childish and his life too dull, so I stopped.
With a strange sense of determination, I tiptoed to the door, gently cracked it open a small gap, and squinted inside.
The moonlight poured in like water, illuminating the room brightly. There lay Song Mingyu, sound asleep, and on the floor… hmm… there were actually two pairs of shoes.
I couldn't believe my eyes and rubbed them vigorously, staring incredulously at the pair of blue embroidered shoes beneath the bed.
I swallowed nervously, my heart racing as I realized that Shopkeeper She was actually… planning to sneak up on Song Mingyu in the night.
Song Poison, you big fool, how can you sleep like a log? I was outside pacing anxiously, watching as Shopkeeper She climbed onto him.
I could no longer hold back; I flung the door open and shouted at the top of my lungs, "Harlot, stop!"
Then I regretted it immediately because I clearly saw Shopkeeper She’s long tail wrapped around the headboard, its deep black scales shimmering with an eerie light in the moonlight.
Shopkeeper She was… a snake, and a female one at that.
Logically speaking, I should have turned and run. But for some reason, perhaps a twist in my mind, instead of fleeing, I charged into the room like a warrior.
At that moment, Song Mingyu was also startled awake. He groggily opened his eyes and saw the shopkeeper She sitting on him, looking slightly surprised. He quickly shouted at me, "Idiot, don’t come over!"
I was instantly at a loss, feeling both scared and anxious. Tears welled up in my eyes as I thought, could it be that Song Mingyu was going to meet his end in the belly of a snake today?
At this critical moment, shopkeeper She surprisingly slid off the bed shyly like a bashful young girl. With a look of longing akin to that of a little wife, she gazed at Song Mingyu and said sweetly, "I’m so sorry; I revealed my true form in my excitement, but I truly have no intention of harming you, husband. You know, I’ve waited for you for so many years; how could I bear to hurt you?"
After saying this, she even threw a flirtatious glance at Song Mingyu.
I stood dumbfounded by the door, unable to close my mouth in shock. What kind of play was this?
Shopkeeper She covered her flushed face and spoke softly, "A hundred years ago, a wise person told me that my husband would pass through here today, so I opened this inn in this wilderness to wait for you."
Song Mingyu steadied himself and asked calmly, "But I remember not having known shopkeeper She before; why are you waiting for me here?"
I couldn't help but roll my eyes at him from the side, thinking how foolish he was. Would a monster tell him why it wanted to eat Tang Seng? Should she say that she had been starving for hundreds of years and was desperate for food?
Shopkeeper She retracted her terrifying snake tail and smiled gently at us.
"You humans have all heard the story of the snake repaying kindness, right? Three Hundred Years Ago, my husband did not kill me but instead let me go free, allowing me to cultivate and achieve my true form. I have no way to repay this life-saving grace except by offering myself. Late at night, I came to my husband's room intending to repay the favor, but I didn’t expect to reveal my true form and disturb you; I feel so ashamed!"
Upon hearing this, I immediately stepped in front of her and Song Mingyu with a disdainful expression and said mockingly, "Then why didn’t you repay your kindness Three Hundred Years Ago? Why wait until now when it’s too late?"
