Little Red discovered that Ling Chuan had returned, and immediately ran up to him, its enormous snake mouth facing him.
Clearly, it was overjoyed.
The master is back!
Ling Chuan looked at that gaping mouth, raised his hand a little.
Little Red immediately lowered its head, obediently nuzzling against his palm.
"This is my home, and yours too! Don't be afraid! Don't make a fuss!" he told it.
Of course, Little Red understood and lowered its head even further, lying directly on the ground.
An Ziqing came over, looking very happy, "You brought Little Red back! It's grown so much!"
It had been so long since An Ziqing had spoken to him so happily.
Ling Chuan was taken aback for a moment, then coldly uttered an 'mm', scolding the snake on the ground, "Go back!"
Little Red immediately prepared to crawl back, but then detoured over to An Ziqing's side, nudging at her feet, as if it were very happy too.
