Nagini Regains Her Sanity

"Nagini, you can talk now?"

This was a huge surprise for Su Yu. The fact that Nagini could speak meant that she had gained sentience!

With her consciousness restored, Nagini can begin her cultivation, and one day she will transform back into that beautiful young woman!

The Blood Curse is not a dead end. Nagini's tragedy was inevitable in the original story, but in this world, Su Yu will never let that ending happen.

Nagini's scales shimmered with a ghostly green luster, like flowing jade in the sunlight. She slightly raised her head, her vertical pupils contracting as she looked in Su Yu's direction.

"Hey, I can talk now! Master, can you hear me?"

The voice was that of a woman, but not that of a grown woman; it was more like the voice of a little girl speaking for the first time, clear yet with a touch of unfamiliar awkwardness.

The pitch fluctuated, as if the speaker had just learned how to use their voice, and each word seemed to be squeezed out of their throat, with a hissing sound characteristic of snakes.

Okay, it's confirmed. Another idiot is coming to our team. He doesn't sound very bright...

Nagini's voice still echoed in my ears, carrying an indescribable joy.

Su Yu kept giving himself mental affirmations: It's okay, the other person has just regained their senses, they're not stupid, they can still develop, right? Don't worry...

Then he took a deep breath and looked at Nagini with a smile.

"Honey, I can hear you. You don't need to yell so loudly. Are you still feeling unwell? How are you feeling?"

Nagini's vertical pupils lit up, and she excitedly rammed her head into Su Yu. She was thinking of throwing herself into her master's arms like before, but she forgot that she was no longer the same person she used to be. Now she was more terrifying than Da Yun.

This sudden movement sent the unsuspecting Su Yu crashing into the main hall beside him.

With a loud crash, the brick wall of the side hall cracked open from the middle, the beams and pillars let out a muffled groan, and the entire wall, along with half of the room, collapsed instantly.

Dust surged up like ocean waves, and rubble and tiles flew everywhere, falling from the roof and shattering into pieces on the ground.

"Cough cough... I..."

Su Yu lay in the pile of broken bricks, his back against half a broken beam, and coughed twice, covered in dust.

"Su Yu!!!"

The girls who were watching the Daoist priest practice swordsmanship in the square suddenly screamed and rushed towards Su Yu Su Yu, grabbing at the collapsed main hall and frantically searching for his whereabouts.

"Master! Master, are you alright?!"

Nagini panicked. Realizing she had caused trouble, she twisted her huge snake body on the ground, crushing several pots of orchids that she had painstakingly cultivated into mud.

In a panic, it lowered its head, grabbed the broken bricks with its teeth, and dragged them out. Its teeth clanged against the bricks, and its tail swung back and forth, scattering the surrounding stones everywhere.

"It's okay... it's okay... I'm not going to die..."

A hand reached out from the pile of broken bricks.

Su Yu sat up from the rubble, dusted himself off, and pushed aside the half-brick that was pressing on his leg.

The Kurama Cloak was no mere decoration; it covered Su Yu's entire body the moment he encountered danger. He wasn't injured, but his head was buzzing, he saw seven or eight little stars before his eyes, and it felt like someone had stuffed a bee into his ears.

Back in the day, I never experienced such bad luck when I time-traveled, but this time I really experienced its power. Luckily, I'm no longer an ordinary person, otherwise I would definitely have been time-traveled again.

"Look at you, Nagini is even cosplaying as a demolition crew this time." Kurama's voice rang out beside Su Yu, with a gloating tone.

Su Yu didn't reply.

He stood up, shook the dust off his robe, and a piece of broken tile fell out from his collar.

Daphne was the first to run to him, touching his arms, shoulders, and face repeatedly to make sure there were no wounds before she breathed a sigh of relief.

Fa-jie stood behind, arms crossed, her gaze sweeping from Su Yu to the ruins of the side hall. Her lips twitched, but she didn't manage a smile.

"I'm so sorry, Zhao Zhenren, I've damaged your side hall. I'll have someone contact you to arrange compensation."

Su Yu cupped his hands in greeting to Zhao Zhenren, who was walking out from the direction of the main hall.

Zhao Zhenren glanced at the collapsed side hall, then at the large snake that was cowering in fear, stroked his beard, and smiled.

"Hehe, Su boy, why are you being so polite with me? It's just a side hall, so what if it collapsed? I've long disliked the location of this hall. Come, let me see how much this giant snake has grown."

As he spoke, Zhao Zhenren beckoned Nagini over. Nagini was a little shy, and after glancing at Su Yu and receiving his permission, she slowly lowered her head.

After what had just happened, she was extra careful this time, afraid of knocking the old man away too. He looked fragile; what if the owner couldn't afford to pay for it...?

So she even breathed much more gently, and the airflow from her nostrils made Zhao Zhenren's beard flutter slightly.

Zhao Zhenren extended his right hand and placed his palm on Nagini's forehead.

A pale blue light shone in her palm; it was a Daoist Spiritual Power Sensing Technique. The light spread along Nagini's scales and circled her body.

Nagini's body trembled slightly, but he did not flinch.

"Very good. Now I have an extra two hundred years of cultivation. If I add the system's training, I will definitely return to my original form after taking the Transformation Pill."

Zhao Zhenren laughed loudly, indicating that his theory was correct.

Nagini pulled his head away from Zhao Zhenren, turned to Su Yu, and gently touched his shoulder with the tip of his nose.

Her movement this time was so light that it was almost imperceptible, a completely different kind of movement from the previous collision.

"Master, I'm sorry." Her voice was muffled, tinged with self-reproach.

"It's okay." Su Yu patted her nose. "Next time you want to pounce on me, just tell me in advance."

Nagini's vertical pupils lit up. "Then I want to pounce now."

"Never mind then, let's talk about it after we get down the mountain..."

"Oh." Nagini lowered its head, its tail dragging twice on the ground, drawing a deep mark in the pile of broken bricks.

She was silent for a few seconds, then looked up again. "Master, can I fight for you in the future?"

Su Yu looked at her body, which was dozens of meters long, and then at the half-collapsed side hall behind her, and thought for a moment.

"It's possible, but you'll need to learn to control your strength first. I'm afraid the enemy will be torn to pieces..."

"I will!" Nagini's voice suddenly rose half a tone, then realizing she was being too loud, she quickly lowered her voice. "I will study hard, Master, don't worry!"

Su Yu gently rubbed the tip of her nose.

Kurama perched on his shoulder, its ten tails swaying back and forth. It glanced at Nagini and snorted through its nose.

Nagini glanced at Kurama, and the two locked eyes for a moment before Nagini withdrew her head.

"Let's go," Su Yu turned and walked towards the square. "Let's finish repairing this side hall before we eat."

Zhao Zhenren waved and laughed from behind.

"What's there to repair? Just have a few disciples clean it up tomorrow. I haven't finished talking to you yet; important matters come first."
