" Little Black, I didn't expect to be able to get sunshine here on this desolate planet. Back home, it's incredibly cold because it's so far from the Central Star and the central sun."
Looking at the contented boy, Little Black nestled its entire body on the boy's belly, resting its head on its body, and lazily basked in the sun.
So the snake and the rat, having eaten and drunk their fill, squinted their eyes, enjoying the peaceful moment.
the next day
Luo Beishi began studying books, searching for a way to help Little Black recover, and the conclusions he reached were all about treating the problem of his depleted Spirit Sea first.
The reason for the immediate investigation is that Little Black cannot store energy; no matter how much it stores, it will slowly leak out. The next day, before it started absorbing the energy stone, the whole snake was listless and had to be placed on the energy stone immediately to barely maintain its life.
Luo Beishi thought he could take it easy, but the current situation frightened him so much that he quickly took out his books and started reading late into the night.
After searching through dozens of books, I finally understood what was wrong with Little Black: the reason was that there was a crack in his Spirit Sea, so he couldn't store energy.
The repair method is to slowly mend his Spirit Sea through the Treatment-Type Spiritual Power.
In Luo Beishi's words, this crack was not ordinary; it would take a lot of time to repair, and he was unfamiliar with using his healing Spiritual Power. Yesterday, he was very cautious just probing the edge of Little Black's Spirit Sea.
If he were to actually enter Little Black's Spirit Sea, let alone repair it, Little Black might not even be able to accept him, and he might even end up getting himself involved if he wasn't careful.
But there is actually another way: to gain Little Black's trust and let him in.
So after Little Black had absorbed the nutrients for a day, Luo Beishi told Little Black about the treatment.
At first, Little Black remained silent, but in the end he nodded. He believed that his Spiritual Power was too weak to fight back, and besides, he seemed unable to distrust the boy in front of him, as if it were innate.
When he encountered the boy the day before yesterday, he was aware of it. His body subconsciously felt that he wanted to be close to the boy, and the boy's presence made him feel at ease.
As Little Black pondered this, it slowly climbed onto the boy's shoulder and gently nuzzled his cheek with its head.
Luo Beishi felt his heart melt completely. This guy was a python, after all! He actually found him adorable. Ah Wei died a million times over!!!
" Little Black, does that mean you agree?"
Little Black rubbed against his face again.
Luo Beishi laughed twice and put Little Black back on his lap.
Looking at the boy's exquisitely sculpted face, Little Black thought to himself that in all his more than a hundred years of life, none of the various beastmen he had ever seen were as handsome as the boy before him.
He slowly curled up into a ball, lying there obediently, indicating to the boy that he could do as he pleased, as he would not harm the boy and posed no threat to him.
Another reason is that if he doesn't try, and it drags on for too long, it would be a waste if he used up all the boy's energy stones without recovering even a little bit.
Little Black's obedient appearance overwhelmed Luo Beishi with paternal love, gradually making him forget that the creature lying on his lap was his natural enemy who could kill him in a heartbeat.
He reached out his hand, and Little Black gently rested its head in his palm.
In order not to waste his meager Spiritual Power, he used direct contact, carefully probing his Spiritual Power into Little Black's Spirit Sea.
The boy slowly closed his eyes, focusing his attention on Little Black's Spirit Sea. His Spiritual Power gradually formed a net, finding smaller cracks and beginning to repair them, quickly completing one.
He then completed more than a dozen repairs, both large and small.
Half a day has passed.
Luo Beishi was finally hungry, not because he had run out of Spiritual Power.
He found that after entering Little Black's Spirit Sea, his Spiritual Power became lively and energetic. He not only enjoyed the repair process but also adapted exceptionally well to the environment, feeling as if he were back home.
Knowing that his description was quite absurd, Luo Beishi laughed, and it was a very pleasant laugh.
Little Black slowly opened its eyes, feeling that its headache had improved a lot.
He hadn't expected... the boy's healing Spiritual Power to be so remarkable!
He was certain that even those old men on the capital planet might not be able to cure him!
The boy he trusted was able to easily treat him after only reading a few ancient books, without any side effects.
Little Black was puzzled, yet also felt it wasn't surprising that the boy had this ability.
No, it's impossible for a boy to appear in this place!
He looks like the pampered young master who lives a life of luxury. How could he possibly come to this desolate planet alone?
Little Black's tiny head was filled with big questions.
Luo Beishi's eyes were now wide open.
"Hey, Little Black, are you wondering why I'm here?"
Little Black:...?!
Luo Beishi couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Haha, Little Black, I think I can read your mind now. The Spiritual Power you're subtly leaking out tells me..."
The Little Black brain has crashed.
The boy knew his thoughts; wasn't that as amazing as having mind-reading abilities?
He knew this young man was no ordinary person!
"Hahahaha! That's it, dealing with this is no simple matter!" Luo Beishi laughed, clutching his stomach. Looking at the dazed Little Black, he thought that if Little Black weren't so small, he would definitely be able to rub against Little Black.
"Ah, Little Black, I haven't given you a bath for the past two days. You're so small, you don't need much water to wash you."
Luo Beishi took out a small, pink children's bathtub, the one he used when he was a child, and put Little Black inside.
Little Black was initially shy and wanted to run away, but after thinking about it, he was afraid that the boy would dislike him. After all, he had indeed crawled on the floor to test the boy at the beginning, so it should be a little dirty, and he was very dark and couldn't see at all.
" Little Black, you're so well-behaved. You don't look like any of the snakes I've seen on the Star Network. Is it okay if I wash you with purified water, since it's a bit cold? I'm too lazy to boil it."
Little Black said it didn't matter; a true male snake isn't afraid of cold water.
Luo Beishi slowly curled the corners of his mouth, but in the end, fearing that the weak little snake would get sick and cause more trouble, he took out a pot and this round stove.
Little Black:...
"Let's try the snake soup tonight and see if it's good, haha, Little Black, have you forgotten? Rats eat snakes too, especially snake popsicles."
Little Black: QAQ
Seeing Little Black's complicated expression, Luo Beishi put a 5L can of water into the pot and slowly heated it.
When it was almost done, I poured it into the pink basin and watered Little Black.
Little Black is not afraid of water; in fact, it likes water, especially warm water.
He swam in the water for a bit and experienced the joy of being a little snake.
If he hadn't lost his power and turned into Little Black python, but instead was a large black python, he would probably have terrified the boy.
Not to mention that if the boy were to carry him back, he might not even be able to lift his tail an inch.
"Ah, Little Black, you said you're a giant python? How can there be a cave this big?"
Little Black swam to his side and nodded to indicate: Yes.
Luo Beishi gave a thumbs up. "You're amazing! You're the most powerful beastman I know. Our family originally consisted of hamsters, but as more and more people mixed their bloodlines, I was the only hamster left. The others are all birds of prey and beasts, they're incredibly powerful, but they're not as powerful as you, I can feel it."
Little Black was stunned for a moment, only now hearing the boy bring up his own affairs.
