Forty Millenniums of Cultivation Chapter 3272: Untitled

Chapter 3272: Unt.i.tled

The boy was thrown onto the bed by Master Snake.

Although he was not fully awake yet, he could not help but want to scream. This was a bed that he had never slept on before. It was as fluffy and soft as a cloud, but it was so extravagant that countless springs had been stuffed into the mattress. It was much more comfortable than a weed nest!

But the boy’s heart seemed to have hit rock bottom. He was not happy at all.

In this world, there were no ‘unintentional pieces of meat’.

Every piece of meat, every bargaining chip, and every drop of blood had a price.

After being saved by Master Snake and sleeping on such a comfortable bed, what price would he have to pay?

Although the boy was still a boy, the people of the desert were generally mature. He knew a lot of things and had seen a lot of animal-like people in the desert who were moaning like animals.

And the expression in Master Snake’s eyes when he looked at Li Yao was like that of a beast. No, it was even lower than that of a beast. A viper.

The boy thought of the skinning mouse again. He felt that his skin had been peeled off by Master Snake’s gaze, too. His skin had been peeled off, revealing his fresh and tender flesh.

Thankfully, he had his brother.

“Don’t be scared, Little Lu. More than half of Tombstone Town has gone to the meat market to share the meat. We can escape.”

His brother said, “As long as I can kill him!”

“You can’t kill him.”

The boy cried in his heart. He is very strong. His brain must be very solid, too. My brother will be hurt.

I have to kill him.

The elder brother said, “Rest a.s.sured. No matter how awesome the big boss of the Heavenly Wolf Gambling Den is, he can’t be more awesome than all the people in the meat market combined. I can do it. I must.”

The boy wanted to say something, but Master Snake had already walked over and placed his hands on the edge of the bed. The cobra-like sarcoma on his forehead shrank and stood straight, emitting hot steam.

“They all call you ‘Little White Hand’.”

Narrowing his eyes, Master Snake observed the boy’s hands carefully. “As I expected, they are fair, translucent, and as clear as jade. They are even more delicate than a girl’s hands, with a bit more tenacity. They are a pair of good hands.”

The boy summoned his courage and stammered, “I—I am Bai Xiaolu!”

“Bai Xiaolu? That’s a good name, too. Lu is an elf in the forest, and you are like an elf in Tombstone Town. How strange. How come I’ve never seen you before?”

Master Snake smiled. “It’s a pity that deer are too fragile. There is no room for survival in the new world after the nuclear war unless… you are protected by the strong.”

He wanted to grab Bai Xiaolu’s hand.

Bai Xiaolu subconsciously dodged and curled up on the corner of the bed. There was no way out.

Master Snake was in no hurry. He smiled and turned on the TV remotely.

The screen was playing the picture of Bai Xiaolu’s cheating in the Sirius Gambling Den over the past few days. The evidence was undeniable.

“Other people say that your hands are so fast that they seem to be invisible. That’s why they call you ‘Small White Hand’. But a long time ago, ‘Small White Hand’ had another meaning, which was thief, pickpocket, and thief!

Master Snake sighed and said regrettably, “You are a beautiful woman, but what can you do as a thief? No matter how small your hand is, no matter how fast your hand is, no matter how tender and slippery your hand is, you shouldn’t be stealing cards to exchange for cards in my casino. Everyone in the Furious Blood Wasteland knows that Master Snake’s casino in Tombstone Town is the most just. You cheated here, smashed my signboard, and even caused my best subordinate to lose a hand. What do you think I should do with you, little thing?”

“I was wrong, Master Snake.”

Tears streaming down her face, Bai Xiaolu stammered, “Please spare me, Master Snake. I—I don’t dare—”

“No!”

His brother screamed in his heart, “Don’t tell the Venomous Snake Sister that she is seriously ill and needs medical treatment. n.o.body will pity us. He will only capture his sister to pay the debt and torture her with us!

“Honestly speaking, I should’ve left you in the meat market.”

Master Snake admired Bai Xiaolu’s cheating on the TV and complimented, “However, your hands are too beautiful, so beautiful that they don’t seem to belong to a mutated devil race. We devils are all more or less ugly. Few people are as immaculate as you. You are like a piece of delicate artwork. You are simply a gift from the heavens. There’s no reason to let those animals ruin you, is there?”

Bai Xiaolu did not know whether to nod or shake her head. She could only cry silently.

“Don’t cry. This is your home from now on. Master Snake will protect you. As long as you eat people, no one will dare to eat you.”

Master Snake said softly, “Do you know why I chopped off Fourth Brother’s hand today?”

Bai Xiaolu was dazed for a moment. Holding back her tears, she shook her head.

“He acted first and reported later. He sent you to the meat market without my permission. But that was not the most important thing. The most important thing was that he was too old. His hands were slower, and his eyes were dull. You managed to cheat two days in a row. It was not until the third day that you discovered that such a piece of trash was not qualified to be the eyes of the Heavenly Wolf Gambling Den.

Master Snake said, “The new generation overtakes the old. Bai Xiaolu, your hands and eyes are both fast enough, and you are quite bold, too. It will be a shame if you end up dead in the desert. Just help me out in the casino, will you?”

What else could Bai Xiaolu say? She could only nod and say, “…Okay.”

“Very good.”

Master Snake’s smile was even more intense, and his eyes turned deeper and deeper. His eyes licked Bai Xiaolu’s face and hands like two barbed tongues. “Do you know what is most important in a casino?”

Bai Xiaolu shook her head, s.h.i.+vering.

“Technology and trust.

Master Snake said softly, “I can teach you the techniques slowly, but tell me, how can two strangers establish a foundation of trust in the shortest amount of time?”

Bai Xiaolu was shaking harder and harder. She stammered, “I—I don’t know.”

“It doesn’t matter.”

Master Snake walked to the bed and extended his hand again. “You will know soon.”

Bai Xiaolu screamed and slapped Master Snake’s hand away. She almost fell off the other side of the bed.

Master Snake’s eyes suddenly turned cold.

Then, it was as hot as fire.

He opened the cabinet.

A sour smell of blood came from inside.

It was a whip that was covered in iron thorns and stained with blood that could not be washed away easily.

Or maybe, its owner never wanted to wash it, just like the other bloodstained machines in the closet.

“It is called ‘gentle’.”

Stroking the whip, Master Snake said in fascination, “Believe me, you will definitely become best friends.”

‘gentle’ was not gentle at all.

One whip was enough to take away all of Bai Xiaolu’s dignity. After three whips, his thin clothes were all torn apart, and he fell off the bed crying in pain.

“Your voice is too ugly.”

Master Snake stepped on Simones and walked over. He looked down at Bai Xiaolu, who was rolling on the ground, and smiled. “You must practice hard in the future.”

He waved his whip for the fourth time, but this time, he was as agile as a viper. He tore off the ragged pieces on Bai Xiaolu’s body and the broken bandages, revealing her thin and pale abdomen.

Then, Master Snake was stunned.

It was as if an upright viper had been pinched by an invisible hand.

He saw eyes.

In the middle of Bai Xiaolu’s abdomen, the liver region was covered in a layer of wrinkles. It was a pair of translucent eyes the size of pigeon eggs!

As he had said just now, most of the devils in the desert were born with some abnormal mutations. But an eye in the middle of their abdomen that contained endless lightning was extremely rare.

Not to mention, when he was staring at the eye, the eye was also staring at him. It even protruded out of Bai Xiaolu’s abdomen, causing the skin around it to tighten and bulge.

It was like—

Behind his eyes, a face and a brain were about to crawl out of Bai Xiaolu’s body and swallow him!

“Now is the time.”

His brother screamed, “Bear with it, Lu!”

Bai Xiaolu felt that her liver had been punched.

No. A shotgun seemed to have been pressed against his abdomen and fired.

He could not help but scream. Blood spurted out of his mouth and nose.

But his heart was burning with hope, and he saw a way to escape.

He knew that his brother had made his move.

At this moment, the intensity of the pain he was suffering was the same as the pain the target’s brain was suffering—this was his brother’s “ability”.

Sure enough, a b.l.o.o.d.y mist suddenly dispersed from the depths of Master Snake’s eyes, and zigzagging blood flowed out from his mouth, nose, eyes, and ears.

As if drunk, he threw away the whip and staggered to dance.

It was a sign of serious brain damage.

The big boss of the Heavenly Wolf Gambling Den was indeed impressive. In the past, when he was faced with the brutal bandits in the desert, they would spurt blood and die silently every time his brother launched an attack. But right now, he only had one target. His brother launched an attack, but he failed to kill him.

Therefore, his brother activated it a second time.

Bai Xiaolu felt that her internal organs were burning.

By the same logic, Master Snake’s skull should be filled with the raging flames of brainwaves.

Master Snake stared at Bai Xiaolu in a daze. It never occurred to him that this “little deer” would grow sharp antlers. He reached out to grab the boy, but Bai Xiaolu nimbly dodged him—Master Snake’s retina and optic nerves had been burnt out. He had become blind and could not see him at all.

Master Snake wanted to scream, but hot blood was spurting out of his throat, too. He could not utter a single word.

“Ah!”

Bai Xiaolu went behind Uncle Snake and ruthlessly knocked him to the ground. She then pushed the cabinet that was filled with various kinds of equipment to him.

Master Snake did not resist. His struggling became weaker and weaker. The blood and brain matter flowing out of his head congregated into a thick stain.

I made it!

Bai Xiaolu was both in pain and laughing.

But before he could react, Master Snake grabbed his ankle as if his nerves were cramping.

“Ah!”

Bai Xiaolu screamed. She almost fell next to Master Snake.

Master Snake grabbed Li Yao’s ankle with one hand, while his other hand instinctively pulled out the pistol from his boot and fired a random shot.

His last shot was not accurate enough to hit Bai Xiaolu.

But the gunshots reached the outside and attracted the attention of the casino.

BAM BAM BAM!

Knocking on the door.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

The door was smashed.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The door was slammed open.

In Master Snake’s secret chamber, screams were not unusual, but there was definitely something wrong with the gunshots.

“Master Snake? Master Snake!”

The people outside were banging the door and shouting.
