All the pets were ferocious beasts, and the city bumpkin was so envious he almost broke down.

Chapter 23: Asking God to Give Me Face? That's outrageous!

The clouds in the sky grew even denser.

The interwoven lightning swept away the evil spirits in the forest.

Chu Yi didn't know the exact location of the white python, so he could only move forward quickly based on the direction of the thunder's strike.

He found that the closer he got to the white python, the more violently the earth shook and the louder the thunder became.

He was even faster than Xiao Hei, running more than thirty miles in one go without even breaking a sweat.

Suddenly, a vast open space appeared ahead.

In the center lay a large, snow-white python covered in scales.

The python was about twenty meters long.

Black smoke billowed from the snake's head, and its eyes held endless pain, exhaustion, and resentment.

It was on its last legs, powerless to withstand the lightning bolts overhead.

Boom!

A thunderbolt struck the white python squarely on the head!

The giant python, which was about to faint, trembled violently, opened its eyes, and let out a low, sorrowful gasp.

Chu Yi felt a chill run down his spine when he saw it.

If that lightning were to strike him, he'd probably kick the bucket on the spot.

I have to say, this white python is incredibly powerful.

The white python, struck by lightning once more, immediately closed its eyes, its breath barely audible.

Clearly, it couldn't hold on any longer.

If lightning strikes it again, it will surely die.

"This thing is so big, how am I supposed to save it?"

"Ding! All you need to do is stand next to the python and shout to the sky, 'I'll protect this python.'"

Chu Yi: "..."

System, do you know what you're saying?!

That's a tribulation of lightning!

Do you know what a tribulation lightning is?

That's some really mysterious thing.

Will the lightning tribulation obey me?

"Ding! You are the one chosen by the ultimate life force of the universe, and the tribulation lightning will give you some face."

Chu Yi: "I ate the face-saving fruit?"

Seeing the lightning about to strike, he didn't care about anything else and stood directly in front of the white python, shouting towards the dark, cloud-covered sky:

"I'll protect this white python, please do me a favor!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the previously overcast sky began to gradually clear up.

Chu Yi never expected that he would have such a great deal of influence; it was completely beyond his imagination.

It's already absurd enough that I possess a system myself; I'd accept it if the world were any more absurd.

Therefore, it's possible that a demon star could collide with Earth!

Fortunately, this will happen fifty years from now.

He calmed himself down and tried his best to suppress his agitated emotions.

Regardless, his original intention was to treat injured wild animals and take in homeless wild animals.

In his eyes, the white snake that failed its tribulation was no different from an ordinary wounded wild beast.

Although the sky cleared up, it started to rain.

However, this rain wasn't cold; it was warm.

"Ding! The white python has been successfully rescued. Congratulations, host, you have gained the ability to teleport!"

"Ding! The host can teleport to any location they have been to."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yi breathed a sigh of relief, finally having completed the mission.

He glanced at the white python. This thing was so huge; if he brought it home, wouldn't it scare Chen Yao and Xia Mili to tears?!

Forget it, if he's doing good deeds anonymously, he might as well just run away.

In any case, given the white python's strength, it must be at the top of the food chain in the Changling Mountains, so it doesn't need to be fed.

Thinking of this, he vanished from the spot.

He instantly appeared at the gate of his own yard.

The sun shower continued to fall in a light drizzle, and a rainbow appeared on the horizon.

Chen Yao opened the door and met Chu Yi's gaze.

"Chu...Chu Yi?!"

Chu Yi walked into the messy courtyard and went straight to Chen Yao:

"Have you finished eating?"

Chen Yao's eyes reddened, and she threw herself into Chu Yi's arms.

Although she always told others that Chu Yi would be fine, she was still extremely worried about him.

Seeing Chu Yi return safely, her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, instantly settled down, and she looked relieved.

Chu Yi gently patted Chen Yao's back: "There is a very dense metal mine in the Changling Mountains, which attracts lightning strikes every rainy season. Animals in the forest are often accidentally injured by lightning. I'm going there to see if there are any injured animals."

Everyone suddenly realized.

"I see," Xia Mili said. "I thought you could really hear the cries for help from wild beasts."

Chu Yi didn't say anything more, and went inside.

Little White and Little Black came over and rubbed against Chu Yi's trouser leg.

"You've finished all the food?" Chu Yi smiled as he looked at the empty plates on the table.

Chen Yao brought out plates of dishes from the kitchen:

"I saved it for you."

Chu Yi felt a warmth in his heart. Chen Yao was usually carefree, but when something really happened, she could stand on her own.

Clearly, she was a very good hostess, even surpassing Xia Mili.

Xia Mili didn't hold back in praising Chen Yao:

"When you weren't here, Yao Yao was really in charge of the courtyard, calming everyone down. She had the demeanor of a real mistress of the house. I'm very impressed with her."

Chen Yao blushed, sat down next to Chu Yi, and said in a petite and affectionate manner:

"I'm your woman, and I promised to protect this home, so I definitely will."

Chu Yi chuckled: "I have nothing to do tonight, so I'll reward you properly."

Chen Yao's face flushed red instantly, and she pointed at the sun outside, saying, "It should be dark by now, why is the sun still out?!"

"The sky was clear and bright, making the light appear even brighter."

"After seven o'clock, it gets completely dark."

Chu Yi said.

After dinner, he and Chen Yao went into the master bedroom bathroom to take a shower together.

Xiao Qiao and Sesame stayed in guest rooms on the second floor, one room each.

Xia Mili stayed in the room next to Chu Yi's.

……

The next day.

00: 00!

Xia Mili sneaked into Chu Yi's room at the perfect moment.

At this moment, Chen Yao was already asleep.

Chu Yi was very sensitive to footsteps. He opened his eyes abruptly, paused for a moment after seeing Xia Mili, and asked softly,

What are you doing?

Xia Mili made a shushing gesture, then pointed to the door, indicating that Chu Yi should go out.

Chu Yi: "I'm not wearing anything!"

Xia Mili blushed slightly, "It's okay, anyway..."

"Is it alright?" Chu Yi asked. "What's wrong?"

He roughly guessed why Xia Mili had come to see him.

"I'll sleep with you!" Xia Mili said directly.

Chu Yi: "..."

"We'll talk about it tomorrow."

Xia Mili pointed to her watch: "00:00! Today is Thursday, you belong to me!"

Chu Yi feigned sudden realization, "So that's what 246 means!"

Xia Mili grabbed Chu Yi's hand. "Let's go!"

"What...what's the rush? I'm just getting dressed!" Chu Yi feigned shyness.

"Don't bother wearing it, you'll have to take it off later anyway."

Xia Mili said.

……

Chu Yi, at Xia Mili's warm invitation, went to the latter's room.

As soon as he entered the room, he crawled into bed and put his clothes and pants at the foot of the bed.

After Xia Mili entered the room, she locked the door and threw herself into Chu Yi's arms. Without saying a word, she silenced Chu Yi's mouth with her soft lips.

The two quickly entered battle mode...

An earth-shattering battle began and lasted all night!
