Before Qian Duoduo was a true giant snake.
The snake's head was as large as Qian Duoduo's Immortal Cave, and its body was a hundred zhang long.
Seeing that Qian Duoduo showed no sign of panic, a hint of appreciation appeared in the giant snake's eyes.
It was a High-Level Profound Beast, two whole major levels higher than Qian Duoduo, and had the capital to be proud.
However, in Qian Duoduo's estate, there were three or four High-Level Profound Beasts.
With so many High-Level Spirit Beasts, Qian Duoduo had never been proud.
"How should Fellow Daoist be addressed?" the giant snake slowly asked.
"Jin Buhuan, a Disciple of the Refining Spirit Sect. How should Senior be addressed?"
"My name is not important. Just call me Ju Leng."
The giant snake moved its body slightly, and the surrounding cave seemed to tremble with it.
"Fellow Daoist Jin, what brings you here this time?"
Ju Leng seemed to find speaking with its mouth too troublesome, so it asked Qian Duoduo using its Spiritual Awareness.
It half-closed its eyes, as if about to sleep.
"I happened to pass by and was a little curious, so I came down to take a look."
Qian Duoduo couldn't say he wanted its snake skin.
It seemed a bit impolite to ask for someone's clothes right away.
"Oh,"
Ju Leng opened one eye fully and closed the other fully.
"Fellow Daoist Qian's cultivation is not high, but your courage is outstanding. In my memory, the Cultivators who accidentally stumbled into this cave never seemed to leave."
"Then I can't leave either?"
Ju Leng didn't answer Qian Duoduo.
It stuck out its snake tongue and sighed, "I smell a delicious egg fragrance."
Qian Duoduo waved his hand and took out a hundred spirit chicken eggs, placing them in front of it.
"Senior Ju Leng, please enjoy."
Ju Leng's eyes narrowed, as if considering whether to eat, or how to be polite before eating.
"They're fresh; my estate just laid them today."
Qian Duoduo flicked his right index finger, breaking a spirit chicken egg.
A fresh aroma immediately wafted out.
Ju Leng closed its eyes, swept its snake tongue across the ground, and all hundred spirit chicken eggs went into its mouth, swallowed in a single gulp.
"Mmm, delicious, a rare delicacy."
Ju Leng sighed.
"There's more."
Qian Duoduo waved his hand, taking out two hundred more and placing them closer to Ju Leng.
Ju Leng's eyes quickly opened, its snake tongue flashed, and the two hundred went into its belly again.
"Comfortable! Fellow Daoist Jin is truly a good person."
Before its voice faded, Qian Duoduo had already placed another four hundred spirit chicken eggs in front of it.
Ju Leng immediately laughed.
"How can this be?"
It said it couldn't accept them, but its snake tongue swept all four hundred into its belly.
"Little friend is an exception; you can enter and exit here freely, but please keep it a secret and do not mention our presence here to outsiders."
With several hundred spirit chicken eggs in its belly, Ju Leng's tone became warmer.
Qian Duoduo nodded.
"This is Senior's home, so I will naturally follow Senior's instructions."
Liu Boli in the Golden Toad reminded Qian Duoduo that this Ju Leng was imprisoned here by a Formation.
Qian Duoduo deliberately spoke about it being a home.
"Home?" Ju Leng gave a bitter laugh.
"How can this be my home? How could I have such a poor home, a home where even my children can't eat their fill?"
"This isn't Senior's home?"
Qian Duoduo feigned surprise, "Then what is this place? And why is Senior here?"
"It's better for little friend to know less; the less you know, the safer you'll be. Just occasionally come down and bring some delicacies, that's enough."
Ju Leng's eyes were about to close.
"Is Senior not interested in the most precious thing?"
"The most precious thing?"
Ju Leng looked at Qian Duoduo.
"Freedom," Qian Duoduo said softly.
Ju Leng's eyes opened completely, and dazzling light shot out from them.
