Dou Qi Continent.

Tagor Desert.

A huge, pitch-black snake crawled aimlessly through the desert.

"Damn it, why is there sand everywhere? When will this ever end?!"

Ning Su was on the verge of losing his mind.

As a bona fide transmigrator, successfully arriving in the Dou Qi Continent should have been a good thing.

But never mind not becoming human—he had actually turned into a snake?!

What, was he supposed to evolve from a snake?

"Damn it, this sun is going to roast me alive!"

"Where's the system? System, get out here and save me!"

"Dear System, come out~"

"Fuck, you useless system, get your ass out here already?!"

After pleading nicely several times with no response, Ning Su could not help but start cursing.

Ding! System activation in progress...

It was here!

"You system sure have peculiar tastes. You only show up after getting cursed at."

Detected that the host has transmigrated into a snake. Beginning system matching...

Successfully activated the 'Infinite Devour' system!

The host must evolve by devouring different things, including but not limited to Magical Beasts, medicinal pills, herbs, Heavenly Flames, humans, and anything else containing energy...

"Infinite Devour System? Sounds pretty good."

Ning Su opened the panel.

Name: Ning Su Age: 1 year old Race: Sky-Swallowing Python (Evolvable) Cultivation: One-Star Great Dou Master Cultivation Method: Low-grade Profound Tier · Sky Swallowing Art (Evolvable) Dou Technique: None

"I'm actually from the Sky-Swallowing Python clan?"

Ning Su was somewhat surprised.

The Sky-Swallowing Python clan was best known for the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python and the Nine-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python.

However, with Ning Su's current cultivation, he was merely the lowest-grade Sky-Swallowing Python, nowhere near comparable to a Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python.

"I need to devour things to evolve. In that case..."

Ning Su began searching the desert for targets.

Very quickly, he spotted a Poison Scorpion as large as a basketball.

He locked onto his target, coiled up to gather strength, then struck to kill!

Ning Su curled his body up before suddenly lunging forward and swallowing the Poison Scorpion in one bite.

Though he had become a snake, he adapted quite well to moving around.

Successfully devoured Second-Order 'Poison Scorpion', obtained 'Scorpion Venom'!

"Huh? I can obtain its Scorpion Venom after eating a scorpion?" Ning Su was astonished.

This was an unexpected delight!

Ning Su continued searching the desert for things to devour.

Successfully devoured Second-Order 'Poison Centipede', obtained 'Centipede Venom'!

Successfully devoured Second-Order 'Poison Toad', obtained 'Toad Venom'!

Successfully devoured ten Magical Beasts. Cultivation advanced to Two-Star Great Dou Master!

Though it was called devouring, to Ning Su, it was not much different from eating normally.

Only, as he ate, he broke through.

"Devouring Second-Order Magical Beasts all the time is a little slow. Can't something more powerful show up?"

Ning Su complained.

At that moment, a massive purple snake tail appeared before him.

Ning Su slowly raised his head.

Above the snake tail was a slender, willow-like waist, so delicate it seemed as though it could be grasped in one hand.

Above that waist was a pair of full breasts ready to burst free.

Above those breasts was an enchanting, peerlessly beautiful face.

Medusa?!

The instant Ning Su saw the woman, that name leaped into his mind.

Tagor Desert, Snake-People, beauty capable of toppling kingdoms.

And that lofty, regal bearing—who else could she be but Medusa?!

Why was she here?

Medusa slowly bent down and looked at the pitch-black snake before her.

"You're quite an interesting little fellow. Would you like to come back with me?"

She had noticed Ning Su earlier.

Ordinarily, a snake would not have caught her attention.

But Ning Su was different.

Medusa had watched him eat quite a few scorpions and centipedes, after which his cultivation suddenly rose by one star.

Naturally, such a change could not escape her notice.

And there was another important point—Medusa sensed an inexplicable feeling of closeness from him, as though it came from their bloodlines.

As fellow Sky-Swallowing Pythons, Medusa was the only member of the Snake-People Race who possessed the bloodline of a Sky-Swallowing Python.

But Ning Su was also a Sky-Swallowing Python, which was why she sensed that familiar aura from him.

Medusa felt that he was very unusual.

"Little fellow, would you like to come back with me?"

"If you're willing, nod your head," Medusa continued.

Huh?

She wanted to take him home the moment they met?

Ning Su was not even prepared to be kept by someone yet.

"Can you understand me? If you don't nod, I won't take you back with me." Seeing no reaction from him, Medusa spoke again.

This time, Ning Su hurriedly bobbed his little head up and down in agreement.

When one was out in the world, how could one survive without someone to rely on?

Now that he had a chance to cling to Medusa's fair, shapely leg... no, a chance to cling to her for support, of course he had to hold on tightly!

At the very least, if he followed Medusa, he would be safe in the Jia Ma Empire for the time being.

Seeing him nod in agreement, Medusa's eyes lit up.

"Little fellow, you really can understand me."

She had only asked casually, never expecting Ning Su to actually nod.

He was becoming more and more interesting.

Medusa then picked Ning Su up and examined him carefully.

"This is the first time I've seen a snake of your kind."

It was her first time seeing a Sky-Swallowing Python, and Ning Su felt different from ordinary snakes.

He should be worth raising properly.

"Come, I'll take you home."

She curled Ning Su up in her arms and flew back toward the Snake-People Race.

Snake-People Race.

"Queen, this is... what kind of snake?" Hua She'er, Medusa's personal guard, came out to greet her. Seeing Ning Su in her arms, she was somewhat curious.

"I found him outside. He's quite intelligent, and his aptitude is decent, so I brought him back." Medusa gently stroked Ning Su's head.

Hua She'er was inwardly astonished.

Medusa had always been aloof and cold. Few things ever sparked her interest.

Hua She'er had never seen her take such an interest in any snake before.

Medusa took Ning Su back to her bedchamber and placed him on a nearby chair.

"Little fellow, you don't have a name yet, do you? Let me think of a name for you." Medusa was very interested in Ning Su now.

As the Queen of the Snake-People Race, she bore the responsibility for the survival and development of the entire race, leaving her almost no time to cultivate personal hobbies.

Keeping snakes was one of Medusa's few interests.

After all, she herself was the Queen of the Snake-People Race.

"You're so black. How about calling you Little Black?"

Ning Su: "..."

Speechless!

You're the mighty Queen. Couldn't you come up with a nicer name?

So he hurriedly shook his head in refusal.

Seeing him shake his head, Medusa became even happier.

Ning Su could completely understand her meaning. It was incredible!

A Magical Beast needed to reach at least the Fifth Rank before it could fully understand human speech.

Yet Ning Su was only Third-Order.

"Still, I think Little Black suits you very well. Objection denied. From now on, you'll be called Little Black."

The Queen had issued her decree, and it allowed no refusal.
