Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 2118: Chapter 2112: No Pain, No Gain

Chu Molin dotes on her, Xue Ling assists her, and now there’s even a snake. Who knows what else might join her in the future? The thought of her team growing makes her happy.

”Yes, it’s true, don’t worry.” Xue Ling nodded.

Seeing Qin Xue lighten up, Xue Ling also felt happy. There was no better time to be joyful than now, for it would soon have a little follower to command.

”Are you sure it’ll willingly obey me?” Qin Xue thought about the Red Snake’s earlier demeanor. It didn’t seem like an obedient snake at all.

”It will, don’t worry. I definitely have a way to make it behave. You just need to focus on your tasks, quickly read the medical books to enhance your abilities, allowing me to increase my cultivation. I’ll handle the rest.” Xue Ling was most concerned about Qin Xue’s study of the medical books because it was directly related to its cultivation. Its advancement was closely tied to Qin Xue.

”Got it. Why do you always dwell on this matter?” Qin Xue was speechless. Whenever they talked, Xue Ling never forgot to bring it up. Was she really being too excessive? Otherwise, why would it always be mentioned?

”Keep it in mind, instead of just paying lip service.” If Xue Ling’s cultivation is insufficient, it wouldn’t be able to shield Qin Xue from her ominous fate. It couldn’t voice this, though it was deeply worried, you know.

But being anxious was futile. Qin Xue, her master, wasn’t worried, leaving it helpless.

It could only keep urging her, hoping she would take it to heart. Don’t wait until something really happens to regret not having gained more knowledge. By then, it would be too late.

”Alright, I will check it out later. Are you staying in the space or going out?” Qin Xue asked Xue Ling.

”Go out. It’s rare for the male master to be home; let him spend more time with you.” Xue Ling was understanding, not the kind to tear lovebirds apart.

”Okay, let’s go together then. I was just thinking since Chu Molin is home, you could stay in the space a bit longer.” Qin Xue initially thought this way, but Xue Ling was considering for her sake.𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

”Never mind, let’s save it for next time,” Xue Ling thought it over and decided against it.

”Then let’s go.” Qin Xue took Xue Ling out of the space, and Xue Ling transformed back to her little girl form.

Meanwhile, in the circle, the little Red Snake saw them leave and tried to exit the circle. No matter how many attempts it made, it was useless. It couldn’t get out. Every time it touched the circle’s boundary, it got bounced back.

What kind of fox was that, and why could it transform into a human form? Red Snake questioned itself, but no matter how much it pondered, it was futile. After hitting the barrier numerous times, it resigned itself to waiting quietly in the circle until those herbs matured. The fox had said once the herbs matured, it could naturally leave. So it resolved to wait.

And as Xue Ling felt the surge of mana, it sneered twice internally. It knew the snake wouldn’t behave. If it wanted to come out, it needed to consent; otherwise, it could only stay inside and wait.

But even that circle couldn’t confine it for long— a week would be enough. By then, Xue Ling would check again. If it submitted, great. If not, the testing would continue.

If others knew Xue Ling thought this way, they’d surely say it was being unreasonable.

Yet, no matter how unreasonable, it was useless. Xue Ling desired loyalty towards Qin Xue. A disloyal one was useless because Red Snake needed to protect Qin Xue. It was critical for Qin Xue to survive a major disaster.

Therefore, Xue Ling must tame it before the incident happens, which is why it used both grace and power on the Red Snake.
