Chapter 390 -389 Too Heartbreaking
Luo Ning and Luo Ranran exchanged glances, following Lei Lifei out of the snake cave.
This time, the fleece seemed a bit too large.
Neither of them had anticipated this.
As they walked, Lei Lifei asked curiously, “Luo Ning, how did you convince the Snake King? And how did Lady Lou tame those two rare snakes?”
Luo Ning touched her nose. Subduing the Snake King had actually been an accident.
She had collected many age-old herbs and had concocted numerous elixirs in the Imperial Capital.
Coming to the Ancient Fengshui Family’s territory, she brought them along for fear of needing to trade something.
As a result, right upon entering into the deepest part of the snake cave, the Snake King appeared.
It then sneakily tried to rummage through her backpack to steal the vial containing medicine.
Had she not been alert, the creature would have succeeded.
She then battled the Snake King.
In the end, she barely managed to suppress the opponent by using her father’s Compass, the Thousand-Year-Old Evil Spirit Dagger, the magic she learned in the Little World, and the top-grade talisman drawn on her body.
Had she not touched the threshold of the Heavenly Human Unity Realm, Luo Ning knew she would have inevitably lost today.
Of course, if she had already reached the Heavenly Human Unity Realm, dealing with the Snake King would have been much easier.
It must be said, she had to thank the Fake widow who hired someone to harm her, otherwise, she wouldn’t have known when those sealed memories would awaken.
It was also for this reason that the Snake King recognized her as its master.
Of course, she knew this sly little creature was mainly attracted to the elixirs she refined and the Spiritual Energy she emitted.
However, an opportune Snake King should never be refused—that’s what people always say about seizing opportunities.
Thus, she used the magic she had learned before to make a contract with the Snake King, enabling her to understand its language.
Luo Ranran was able to tame those two snakes with the help of elixirs she provided.
But this, she couldn’t tell Lei Lifei.
So, she simply smiled innocently, “I really don’t know. After we entered, this little creature just popped out and insisted on clinging to me.”
She then added, “Maybe it’s because I’m rather pretty?”
Lei Lifei: “…” He didn’t buy that nonsense at all.
They weren’t even the same species. How could the snake tell if she was pretty?
What an audacious lie.
“Heh, you think I’d believe that?” he scoffed.
Luo Ning spread her hands, “If you don’t believe me, there’s nothing I can do. It’s the Snake King from your family’s snake cave; I’ve only known it for a day and haven’t quite grasped its temperament yet.”
Lei Lifei felt insulted in behalf of his family.
She hadn’t even completely grasped the Snake King’s disposition, yet it had acknowledged her as master.
Yet, his Lei Family had failed despite being companions with the Snake King for centuries.
No, he couldn’t keep thinking about it; it would be too heart-wrenching.
He forced a smile, “Heh…”
He escorted Luo Ning and Luo Ranran to the guest hall, gave his young son a warning look to keep an eye on them, and then went straight to find his father.
The head of the Lei Family was now hardly managing affairs, spending his time cultivating and retiring with the clan elders.
Upon hearing his son’s words, his expression changed.
Then he glared at Lei Lifei, “Look at what a fine son you have raised.”
Lei Lifei innocently responded, “Isn’t he your well-raised grandson?”
The Lei Family Head was choked up, “Scoundrel, come with me to see the elders.”
Such a significant matter required disturbing those few.
After listening to Lei Lifei’s report, the ancestors of the Lei Family felt like vomiting blood.
There was a sense of anger, as if one’s beloved daughter, whom they had raised for many years, had suddenly been tricked away.
But they somewhat understood the Snake King.
One of the clan elders took out a specially made whistle and blew into it near his lips.
It sounded rhythmic, a whistle specifically used to communicate with the Snake King.
Soon, he put down the whistle, his face showing a hint of defeat.
Waving his hand towards the Lei Family Head and Lei Lifei, “Forget it, it’s all fate.”
Lei Lifei cautiously asked, “Elder, do you mean just let it go?”
The elder glanced at Lei Lifei disdainfully, “What else? The Snake King is not our Lei Family’s possession, and our Lei Family owes much to it for our status today.”
“You incompetents couldn’t make it recognize a master; it chose its master itself. Could we possibly force it to stay?”
Bearing the pain as if his heart was bleeding, he continued, “If it wants to leave, let it leave. It just means it has no fate with our Lei Family.”
After hearing this, the other clan elders also roughly understood the message from the Snake King, and their hearts bled as well.
Their looks towards Lei Lifei contained frustration, “Alas, you younger generations are truly disappointing.”
Lei Lifei rolled his eyes inwardly; these clan elders had the audacity to call them trash and disappointing.
He really wanted to ask, if you are so capable, why didn’t you contract the Snake King?
However, he obviously didn’t dare to ask, and could only force a self-mocking smile, “Indeed, it’s all our fault, alas!”
How did Luo Yicheng manage to produce such a clever daughter, while his offspring were fools? Speaking more on this would only bring tears.
Lei Lifei thought for a moment and asked, “Elders, do you want to meet Luo Ning?”
The elders looked at each other, and finally said, “No need, just send her off the island quickly.”
Seeing Luo Ning was too heartbreaking; it was better not to see her. Out of sight, out of mind.
Now they looked displeased even at Lei Lifei and his son, “You both should leave too; just seeing you is annoying.”
The Lei father and son: “…”
In their hearts, they both cursed Lei Qiu, the unfilial son/grandson, for making them take the blame.
Nevertheless, they reacted quickly and immediately left.
After exiting, Lei Lifei asked, “Dad, do you want to see Luo Ning?”
The head of Lei Jiazhuang responded irritably, “No, seeing her would upset me.”
He had wanted to subdue the Snake King since his youth and even tried last year in the snake cave.
After decades of failure, a girl in her twenties ended up with the Snake King. It hurt, so it was better not to see her.
“Send her away quickly,” he gestured, wanting to return to the ancestral home.
He took a few steps, then stopped and turned around, “Oh, send Lei Qiu off the island with her.”
Lei Lifei was stunned, “Ah?”
“Although that boy is a bit silly, isn’t it too much to kick him out of the Lei Family?”
“He is your grandson after all.”
The Lei Family Head looked disdainfully at his son, “No wonder he’s your son; you’re just as foolish.”
Lei Lifei: “…” If this wasn’t his own father, he’d want to smash him against the wall.
However, he was smart and quickly understood his father’s intention.
“You mean, let that boy go out with Luo Ning and try his luck on the mainland?” he asked.
The Lei Family Head finally nodded, “Still, not beyond redemption.”

“That boy has been raised too naively; better to throw him out to endure hardships before coming back.” His good-for-nothing grandson had squandered a Snake King.
No, he couldn’t think about it anymore; it was too painful.
Lei Lifei agreed with this point, “Alright, I’ll throw them out together.”
The head of Lei Jiazhuang snorted, “Right, check who’s behind using Xiao Qiu; daring to attack our Lei Family’s people is unforgivable.”
Lei Lifei’s eyes also turned colder, “Of course.”
