Shedding Skin Successful, Xiao Qing Becomes Even More Beautiful

In the wild, ordinary snakes struggling with shedding their skin would look for narrow crevices, just barely large enough for them to squeeze through.

By rubbing back and forth through the stone gaps, they would force off their old skin, completing the shedding process.

Lin Xuan believed that if he hadn't encountered this White-lipped Bamboo Viper, and if it had stayed in the wild, it might have already finished shedding its skin.

Because there weren't any natural rock crevices on the table for Xiao Qing to shed its skin properly, it took a noticeably longer time.

Therefore, to help Xiao Qing complete the final step of shedding its skin, it would require his assistance to completely remove the last bit of snake skin.

"Wait a moment, I'll go get a flashlight."

Lin Xuan turned on the room lights, then brought over a flashlight and a small pair of tweezers. He deliberately used the tweezers to gently scrape along a segment at Xiao Qing's tail.

Under his careful manipulation, Xiao Qing's tail skin slowly began to loosen a little.

Seeing this, Lin Xuan felt a surge of joy, but this joy quickly turned bittersweet.

Although he could help Xiao Qing shed its skin, the task was still quite difficult.

Because if he made even a slight mistake, he could easily injure the White-lipped Bamboo Viper.

Therefore, he had to maintain his focus to help Xiao Qing complete the final step of shedding its skin!

The viewers in the live stream watched this scene in silence. At this moment, very few people were even sending bullet comments.

They were afraid that sending a comment might disturb the streamer while he was helping Xiao Qing shed its skin.

If Xiao Qing were to be injured due to a disturbance, it would be their fault.

Time ticked by, and after an unknown amount of time, Lin Xuan remained in the same posture.

Now, his hand was starting to feel a little sore.

But looking at the skin on Xiao Qing's tail, which was slowly nearing detachment, he dared not be careless.

Finally, not long after, the snake skin on Xiao Qing's tail completely came off.

The current Xiao Qing was completely free of its old skin. Its colors seemed to have become even more vibrant after the successful shedding.

"Phew, I've fulfilled my mission. It's finally successful."

Lin Xuan held the successfully shed skin of Xiao Qing in one hand and the small tweezers in the other.

The viewers in the live stream all let out a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

"It's finally successful! I didn't dare to blink just now, and I didn't dare to send any comments, for fear of disturbing the streamer if I did."

"Yeah, my eyes felt sore, but seeing Xiao Qing successfully shed its skin made me very happy."

"The streamer is truly amazing for helping Xiao Qing shed its skin."

"Indeed, the streamer worked hard."

Instantly, many netizens began showering the streamer with gifts.

Now that the matter was resolved, they could finally send comments and gifts with peace of mind.

"I only helped Xiao Qing a little. The one who worked the hardest was Xiao Qing."

"Actually, if it were in the wild, Xiao Qing wouldn't have had such a hard time. It's my fault that Xiao Qing's shedding on the table appeared so difficult."

"If I had learned more about snake habits earlier, this wouldn't have happened today."

Lin Xuan hadn't considered Xiao Qing's shedding process.

If he had researched it earlier, Xiao Qing wouldn't have been shedding on the table today; it would have been in a crevice among rocks.

"Streamer, there's no need to apologize. Even we wouldn't have known about something like this."

"Besides, Xiao Qing has successfully shed its skin now, so please relax."

At this moment, Xiao Qing, having recovered a bit of strength, crawled towards Lin Xuan and then directly burrowed into his jacket.

"???"

"Xiao Qing, are you trying to get warm in my arms?"

Lin Xuan looked down at Xiao Qing curled up inside his jacket and smiled.

"Haha, Xiao Qing, having just shed its skin and recovered some strength, crawled into the streamer's arms for warmth."

"Doesn't it look like a little child, wanting to be in their dad's embrace?"

"Nonsense, my child doesn't like being in my arms as a dad; they prefer being with their mom."

"Mine is the same."

"Mine is okay; they like coming into my arms as dad."

"Streamer, since Xiao Qing wants to sleep in your arms, let it sleep for a while. Don't disturb it."

"Yeah, Xiao Qing is tired today too."

Lin Xuan sat on the chair, not moving, so as not to disturb Xiao Qing sleeping in his embrace.

Since there was nothing else to do, he accompanied the netizens in the live stream, chatting with them.

An hour later, Xiao Qing, nestled in Lin Xuan's arms, stirred noticeably. It then wriggled out of his embrace, looked around curiously, and let out a hiss at Lin Xuan.

It stretched its mouth open.

As if to say, "Dad, I'm hungry."

"Oh, Xiao Qing's awake?"

"Just woke up and already opening its mouth. Could it be hungry?"

"Haha, it's just like my kid. As soon as they wake up, they start fussing and demanding food."

"Alright, I get it. You come out first, and I'll get you something to eat."

Xiao Qing crawled out of Lin Xuan's arms and made its way onto the tabletop.

Looking at Xiao Qing, Lin Xuan rubbed his eyes. He noticed that after shedding its skin, its colors had become even more beautiful.

It was a deep ink green, and when the light shone on it, its scales shimmered as if they were countless ink-green jade gems.

"???"

"Did you guys notice? Xiao Qing's colors seem to have become much prettier."

"I saw it too. Is it because of the shedding? Did it make Xiao Qing prettier?"

[Ink Plum Like Painting]: "This is due to Xiao Qing shedding its skin, which has made its scales more beautiful. I think if Xiao Qing sheds a few more times, it will become even prettier."

"Haha, our Xiao Qing is turning out to be a beautiful little snake."

"What girl doesn't want to become prettier?"

Lin Xuan gently stroked Xiao Qing's triangular head with his hand, then got up to prepare its food.

Xiao Qing hadn't finished the rabbit meat from before; there was still some left. Considering how much energy Xiao Qing had expended today, it must be starving, so Lin Xuan prepared a bit more.

He shredded the rabbit meat into strips, placed it on a plate, and brought it in front of Xiao Qing.

Upon seeing the rabbit meat on the plate, Xiao Qing couldn't help but flick its tongue out.

"Xiao Qing, it's time to eat. You must be starving. Come and eat."

He placed the plate on the table, and Xiao Qing eagerly began to eat.

It used its teeth to "grip" the food, holding it steady, then slowly moved it from side to side into its mouth, eating little by little.
