Back to Daily Life: Snakey Is Here!

It was another sunny day. Luming Lady, who had escaped from the ultimate hellish abyss epic god-slaying difficulty dungeon, lay peacefully in bed.

After the world collided, she only recovered physically; her mental trauma had not yet healed. She needs to rest and recuperate.

The problem is, why is there always a clanging and banging sound coming from outside? Can't a person catch up on sleep this early in the morning?

Hey, now it's even worse, there's even the sound of Chainsaw!

Luming Lady pressed her head down with a pillow, trying to ignore the outside world. Seeing this, Little Te started setting up a soundproofing device in the room, but the noise made Luming, who was easily angered, flared up.

"Little Te! You better behave yourself! Or I'll have Lobster Doctor tear you apart!"

The innocent and aggrieved Little Te was grabbed by Luming and pulled into the quilt to be used as a pillow. Little Te, buried in soft flesh, inexplicably felt that this was not bad.

What exactly happened? Let's rewind a little bit—

Early in the morning, the manor's butler, Kalpas, also got up very early. He went to the kitchen and began to make breakfast.

Kalpas opened the refrigerator, his gaze falling on the large egg. This was the egg that Luming had brought back after going out to look for the lost Kane. After checking it and confirming that it wasn't poisonous, he was going to cook it. Unfortunately, Kalpas forgot about the egg at the party celebrating the victory, otherwise he would have eaten it long ago.

PS: After returning victorious, the Fire-Chasing Squad came to the manor to celebrate the successful operation with their friends. However, everyone more or less noticed that although Luming seemed to be having a good time with them on the surface, she was actually quite unhappy.

As for how he knew...

"Tell me! What were you doing secretly following my sister?!"

"I'm innocent! I just wanted to go find Luming to discuss how to deal with that egg, but who knew I'd see her hiding in a corner punching the wall in frustration!" Kane was on good terms with the Fire-Chasing Squad, said, feeling very wronged.

P. S.: Because Sachi called for reinforcements, Wendy and Arin Sisters were exposed outside and were dragged back to the St. Freya Academy by Kiana and Mei. The Fire-Chasing Squad needs manpower now, so don't use these improper excuses to slack off outside.

Of course, there was still some protection for Luming, but Luming was a little overwhelmed when she saw the smiling maid.

——Love Gate——

Brother Jie looked at the egg without paying much attention, washed it, picked it up with one hand, and tapped it on the rim of the bowl.

"Hmm? This egg is a bit hard."

Kalpas increased the force, and as a result, the bowl was smashed.

He frowned, found a clean, large bowl, put the egg in it, and then picked up a cleaver and chopped it vigorously—

Bang!

The broken blade bounced back and forth in the kitchen before finally getting stuck in the chef's hat on Brother Jie's head.

Kalpas: "..."

Egg: You think that's all? (Of course, it didn't actually say anything; this was what the egg was thinking at that moment.)

The man took off his hat, turned and left the kitchen. Just when Egg thought he had given up, Brother Jie came back with a hammer in his hand.

Bang!!!

With a powerful blow, the egg was unharmed, but the bowl and chair beneath it were shattered by the force, causing Kalpas's brows to furrow even deeper.

On the grass outside the manor, Guotie lazily poked her head out of the little nest that Brother Jie had built for her, just as she was about to enjoy a good sunbath, when an egg fell from the sky and landed in front of her.

"Woof?" Guotie curiously fiddled with its paws, noticing that Brother Jie was next to it.

"Listen, smash it open with your bear paws, and if you do, you'll get a bonus today!"

"Woof!"

The Guotie got excited as soon as it heard the name and raised its paw to give the egg a good beating with panda punches. But after hitting it for a long time, the eggshell didn't even crack or get a scratch. The rather intelligent national treasure was left bewildered in the wind.

Brother Jie sighed in exasperation, "I feed you so much every day, but you can't even crack an egg. What use are you?"

He picked up the egg with one hand, tossed it into his mouth, and then threw a punch. The immense force struck the egg, sending it flying like a streak of light and crashing into the manor's wall.

Looking at the egg embedded in the wall, Brother Jie lowered his head, remained silent for a moment, and then suddenly burst into laughter. "Congratulations, you egg of unknown origin, you've finally proven yourself worthy of being killed after giving it your all! But this isn't a battle, it's a hunt!"

Egg: I figured I couldn't run away either, so how were you going to catch me?

Brother Jie easily pulled out the egg, called Cosmo who was Griseo, and told him to bring cement to repair the wall. He then headed towards the tool shed deep inside the manor.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Wearing a safety helmet, Kalpas picked up a large sledgehammer and frantically pounded on the egg, but the egg didn't budge, displaying an arrogant attitude that said, "No matter how much you hit it, I'm fine."

After Kalpas threw away the hammer, picked up the cutting machine and operated it for a while, he stared at the broken saw blade and fell into deep thought.

Kalpas put the egg on the hydraulic press and watched as the press tried to crush it for a long time but couldn't, ultimately ruining itself in the process.

Kalpas: "..."

He stole—no, borrowed— the Chainsaw Zombie Breaker from Cosmo, and forcibly activated its ultimate attack with his own flesh and blood to cleave the egg, but it still didn't work.

Half an hour later, Kalpas dragged Kane over, pointed at the egg, and ordered him, "Hurry up, transform and smash this egg for me, or you won't get any food today!"

Kane initially thought that transforming to smash an egg was a bit of an overkill, but then another hour passed—

Exhausted, he deactivated his transformation and collapsed, lying on the ground panting as he stared at the motionless egg. "What is this thing? It let out so many big farts and nothing happened?"

Another hour passed—

Ai-chan, driving her newly created Destruction Mammoth, unleashed a barrage of attacks on the egg.

Another hour passed—

Cosmo, wielding the Zombie Breaker, is on the left; Kane, wielding the Beat Closer, is on the right; and Ai-chan, wielding the Document King Sword, is behind. The two and the android launch an attack on the egg from three sides, while Pardo and Griseo cheer them on from the sidelines, and Stardust Haiyi Cang Qiong watches the show from the sidelines.

Suddenly, a kitchen knife flew through their midst and embedded itself in the doorframe of the tool shed, now reduced to ruins. Everyone turned to look, and Luming Lady, emanating a thick aura of blackness, ripped off her blindfold, revealing a kind and gentle smile to the trembling crowd:

"Come on, before I kill you, I'll give you one chance to explain why there was so much noise this morning~"

Explanation in progress—

"So, this egg I brought back from the World Serpent is the culprit?" Luming shifted her murderous gaze to the egg, and everyone nodded frantically, successfully diverting her hatred.

Luming snorted coldly, "A bunch of idiots, Stardust, come here!"

Stardust Baby obediently ran up, and at her instruction, summoned a small wormhole. Luming grabbed the bottom of the egg, inserted it into the wormhole, and touched the edge—

Luming and Xing Chen stared into deep thought as they looked at the collapsed wormhole and the still intact egg.

"Damn it!!!" Luming was so angry that she threw the egg to the ground and struck it with a powerful punch. Her face contorted in pain, and a fist mark made of blood was left on the white eggshell, showing how hard she had used her strength.

Haiyi and Cang Qiong walked over, and a warm sea breeze brushed past the girl's ears, making her feel warm all over.

Seeing her comfortable expression, Cang Qiong covered her pretty face with her fan and smiled smugly. She and Haiyi were members of the Five-Dimensional Sisters with healing abilities, so healing such a minor injury was a piece of cake.

Just as Luming was about to send the egg to Lobster Doctor for an experiment, she noticed that the bloodstains she had left on the eggshell had disappeared, and a cracking sound came from inside. Suddenly, countless cracks appeared on the surface of the eggshell, and then it exploded with a "bang." A small green snake slowly poked its head out of the smoke, looking at the collectively petrified and dumbfounded crowd, searching for the object it was looking for.

"Sizzle~" The little snake flicked its tongue at the petrified Luming, seemingly quite fond of her. The girl shattered the petrification layer, and the two stared at each other. Luming looked at the others around her and pointed to herself in confusion.

The little snake nodded, its gaze shifting to the girl's neck.

The necklace—oops, I mean, the choker—formed from the Xuanyuan Sword; the teardrop-shaped pendant given by Mo Ying; and the same pendant shaped like the Triga timer that Xiaoguang gave him before he left.

Oh dear, this place is full. Let's find another one.

The little snake was a little disappointed and shifted its gaze to the girl's wrist.

The Book of Cang Xuan Bracelet, the Transformation Bracelet, Judas Bracelet.

Why is this place full too? Let's find another one.

The little snake shifted its gaze to the girl's thighs peeking out from under her nightgown, Jilin's Leg Ring gave her a friendly greeting.

Little snake. "..."

Why does this person have so many accessories? Do girls these days really like to wear things on their bodies?

The snake's gaze continued downwards, and the girl's smooth, white ankles came into view. Because she had rushed out, she was only wearing slippers, and her small feet, without even socks, were red from the cold wind.

The little snake's eyes lit up—this is it!

To the others, the little snake merely shook its head aimlessly, and then, in a flash, it leaped onto the girl's right ankle before anyone could react, coiling its body around it. At first glance, it looked like an exquisitely crafted anklet.

Luming: "?"

Upon seeing this, everyone else present gasped. Brother Jie quietly took out a fruit knife from behind his back, walked behind Luming, made a safe gesture, and slowly brought the blade closer...

The little snake raised its head and glanced at him contemptuously. The man's large hand reached out with lightning speed, intending to grab the snake's head and pull it towards him, but the little snake was faster than him, quickly swimming up the girl's thigh. Luming's face turned pale instantly. "Hey, where are you leaning your head? You can't go in there!"

P. S.: The Mobius just wanted to hide on its upper body.

After all that, Judas had Judah step in. The little snake lay limply in the cage made of chains, looking utterly hopeless.

Why is the Key of Binding in the hands of this little guinea pig by such a coincidence...? By the way, are there a lot of familiar faces here?

"Witch, give it to me, we're having snake soup today!" Brother Jie glared at the Mobius with resentment, as if the two of them were sworn enemies.

"It's too small to eat." Luming slapped the man's hand away and observed the Mobius in the cage with interest. "I don't know why, but I like it. Should we keep it? Little Te, come and give it a check-up."

"Heh, I really don't like her!" Kalpas sneered, gripping the fruit knife even tighter.

Even without Kalpas saying it, Luming understood that this snake was definitely not an ordinary snake. The eggs laid by snakes are very soft on the outside, how could they be so hard?

(Forgive me, Silly Loli, for not knowing how to type that word)

And the way it hatched just now, it's so similar to the blood oath in Shenzhou novels! If this snake really wanted to harm me, it would have bitten me the moment it jumped onto my leg. Besides, there are probably only a handful of snakes in the world that could poison me... I can't rule out the possibility of me getting lucky.

After all that fuss, Luming defied everyone's objections and kept the Mobius as her new pet. Of course, she had it insured with the "Mortal Tribulation Difficult to Cross" guarantee, and ordered it not to hurt anyone, and that the animal's opinion had to be sought first.

Luming placed her back on her ankle, watching her wrap her long body around herself, and muttered to herself, "Probably a biological weapon like Stan... What should I call it?"

Kalpas, and a name that was both familiar and unfamiliar popped into his mind, "Hey, witch, how's Mobius?"

Cosmo nodded in agreement. "(The Mobius strip was discovered by a scientist after he dreamed of a snake with its head and tail connected. The name is not inappropriate, and it's also quite cool. No wonder it's called Kalpas.) I agree."

Griseo, being held by Cosmo, asked, "Hmm, does Mobius like this name?"

Doesn't this mean you've already accepted that the Mobius is called Mobius?

Everyone else had no objections, except for Luming, who shook her head in embarrassment. She thought, "Just kidding! Naming the team 'Fire Moth' might feel cool for a moment, but it'll get you burned at the stake later. I almost sold myself to Eden for it. And what if I run into Mobius herself later? I'd probably be sent to her operating table! Surely the snake in my hand isn't Mobius herself, is it?"

There's another thing. Xing transformed into Xiaomeng before, so calling her that feels a bit awkward.

Mobius: "..."

I am Mobius! The one, the real, the irreplaceable Mobius!... Why does that sound so familiar?

In the Elysian Realm, unaware that his true form had failed to commit suicide, Mobius suddenly sneezed.

Note: Mobius can sense the psychological activities of Luming.

"Let's call her Mobius! It's a nice and catchy name, so it's settled!" Luming Lady slammed her hand on the table and made the decision. No one else dared to object, after all, she was the actual person in charge here.

What? You're asking if the manor belongs to Brother Jie?

Kalpas: "... Why are you looking at me? Don't think I like that witch. She's so annoying."

Note: After seeing the fox ears, I officially started raising her as a daughter.

Rita, returning from grocery shopping, pushed open the back door and stared into thought at the messy scene. "I only went out to buy groceries, how could the snake tell me what happened?"

"Luming Lady! It's already winter, how can you run outside wearing only a dress?" Rita carried her into the house without saying a word, ignoring Luming's struggles and pleas for help.

Little Te collected the eggshell fragments to take back for testing, Cosmo carried Griseo back to comb her hair, Ai-chan went back to recharge, Kane dragged the Guotie back to wait for feeding, Pardo carried the Crimson Kite's Wings to go back for a nap, Star Sea Wind and the other two didn't have any specific plans, waiting for Shian and Chi Yu to appear, but before that, they had to make some contribution to this place.

——Serpent Gate——

Late at night, the girl leaned against the bathtub, the water temperature just right, while Rita stood guard outside the door, ready to serve at any moment.

"Mmm, taking a bath is so comfortable~" Luming let out a long, comfortable moan, looking down at her tempting body through the water and sighing.

My true form is a boy, so why am I so beautiful? It's a sin! And that's not all; why have I gotten so used to this appearance? While I didn't feel uncomfortable when I briefly transformed back into a boy, I didn't feel any discomfort when I transformed back into a girl either...

Ha, that's not surprising, is it? My soul contains far more memories of women than of men. It's more of a miracle that my psyche has remained unfeminized for so long under these circumstances... I'm broken!

Dejected Luming Lady submerged her head in the water and cried silently. She only surfaced when she couldn't hold her breath any longer. She took a deep breath and prepared to wake Rita up so she could give her a massage; her muscles had been quite tired these past few days.

Luming lifted her long, slender legs from the water, water droplets falling from her supple, delectable skin. Sure enough, the Mobius was still stubbornly wrapped around her ankle. How much did it like her? Following her even while she bathed?

"Be good, let go first, or Rita will turn you into snake soup." Luming had to coax her to finally peel the Mobius off and put it aside with the other pendants she had taken off.

The maid's teasing and the girl's moans reached her ears. Mobius closed her eyes, turned her little head away in disgust. How come there are still lesbians here?

Note: Sending Rita was a decision Theresa made after much deliberation. After all, it was essential to ensure Otto had firsthand knowledge of her son/daughter's movements, and ideally, she'd have an Otto informant monitoring her. After careful consideration, Rita was the most suitable candidate, and who wouldn't love a versatile maid? It would be even better if she didn't have any particular hobbies...

The night was deep, and the only sound in the quiet room was the soft, rhythmic breathing. Mobius silently climbed onto the bed, bypassing Ai-chan and Hiyokomaru. When it saw Hiyokomaru, Mobius paused for a moment, then continued crawling toward Luming.

She has so many Armed Doll... I wonder how Klein is doing. I'll go to the Elysian Realm to see her after I can turn back into human form. It's not that I miss her, I just want to make sure Klein can continue to serve me.

Klein, who was working hard overtime in the past, suddenly sneezed and was very puzzled: Can Armed Doll catch colds?

Approaching the girl's delicate skin, she extended her forked tongue to probe, then opened her blood-red mouth, revealing sharp fangs dripping with venom, which bit through the skin and injected into the girl's body.

The Mobius, no, Mobius factor rapidly spread Luming's body, then was completely devoured by the Vishnu Factor, becoming a part of her.

After biting for a while, the Mobius obediently crawled to the pillow, found a comfortable spot, curled up, and fell asleep. I'm not going to sleep in a cage. A perfect species like me should sleep in the best place!

Hiyokomaru unconsciously rolled over, and the back of her head landed right on top of her.

Mobius: "... I'll send you to my lab table sooner or later!"

The Cang Xuan Dan Zhu in the Stigmata Space suddenly had a bad feeling.
