Chương 12: Unaware and Forced to Watch

Xiao Yao didn't want to pay attention to him anymore. On the other side, she took off all her clothes and started a fire while she was naked.

Cai Ni looked at the clothes hanging on the wooden pole to the side, which completely covered Xiao Yao. As more and more clothes were draped over it, she turned her head away.

Then he squinted and quietly observed.

Xiao Yao's coat was very large. Cai Ni adjusted her posture and could barely see a grayish-white hood swaying on top and a pair of feet moving back and forth below.

Finally, she breathed a long sigh of relief, completely relaxed, and her crying stopped completely.

"It seems he really isn't a bad person; I misunderstood him."

"Hmph! Who told him to scheme against me and take advantage of me?"

"Should I find a chance to apologize to him...? Forget it, how could I possibly apologize to him..."

While Cai Ni was lost in thought, Xiao Yao remained completely silent.

"It feels so uncomfortable... I'm soaking wet, there's water everywhere under my scales..."

"I'll take it off too... and roast it!"

"Anyway, there's a curtain, so he can't see anything..."

"I am the dignified Queen of the Snake-People race; I doubt he would dare to peek..."

Lost in thought, Cai Ni quietly reached behind her back and untied the pretty bow.

The red bodice slipped down to her waist. She turned around to find a place to dry it, but there was nowhere to put it.

Finally, she settled on the clothes rack on the side, where Xiao Yao's clothes were neatly stacked.

"Hmm... I'll put it there quietly, he shouldn't notice..."

Cai Ni took a deep breath, closing her mouth and nose tightly, not daring to make a sound.

She tiptoed and quietly draped the red bellyband over Xiao Yao's clothes.

Then, without making a sound, he turned his body back to its original position.

"Hoo..." After letting out a soft breath, she looked down at her long snake tail.

Normally, with her Dou Ling strength, she could easily keep the water out of her body with just a slight circulation of Dou Qi. But now, she was no different from an ordinary person, and naturally, the area under her scales was damp, which was very uncomfortable.

"Grill your legs too, they're so uncomfortable."

The next moment, the purple scales on the snake's tail flipped up rapidly, forming neat rows of barbs.

Then the scales disappeared into her body at an incredible speed, replaced by a pair of sexy, slender legs and a pair of delicate, pink feet.

"Hehe! It feels so good to have legs! When will I be able to become a Battle Emperor... My breasts seem to have gotten bigger too..." Staring at her beautiful legs, Cai Ni was secretly delighted, like a child who had received a gift. She even playfully teased her toes.

"It's so warm..."

Cai Ni twisted her body and twirled her beautiful legs, having a great time, and finally regained the innocence and liveliness that only a twenty-year-old girl has.

On the other side, Xiao Yao was utterly astonished: "A dramatic change... a living leg!"

He quickly turned his face away and stared at the roasting snake meat in his hand, feeling a surge of blood rushing to his head, and his face turned bright red.

"Don't look at what you shouldn't look at, don't look at what you shouldn't look at. I didn't look on purpose, I didn't look on purpose." While silently repeating this to himself, Xiao Yao couldn't help but glance at the wall to the side a few more times, and then dared not look up again.

"It's all Elder Jin's fault. Why did he put so much junk in the ring? He doesn't even have any clothes..." This was the only reason he could use to ease his embarrassment.

From his side, one can clearly see a naked figure moving his thighs and chest back and forth on the wall.

The two people were positioned in a very clever way at this moment.

They were separated by a clothes rack; Xiao Yao was near the entrance, while Cai Ni was inside.

This meant that when Cai Ni was warming herself by the fire, she didn't notice at all that there was a huge shadow, a one-to-one replica of herself, imprinted on the wall behind her.

Xiao Yao, on the other hand, was not seen from the cave entrance, and his seated position allowed him to see the scene perfectly.

One was completely unaware, while the other was forced to watch.

"That feels so good, it's finally dry now, hmm? It smells so good..." Perhaps she had had enough fun, or perhaps she was attracted by the aroma, after all that playing around, Cai Ni's body and bodice were completely dried.

But when she turned her legs back into a snake tail and reached for her little bellyband, she finally saw her own reflection.

"Ah!..." She patted her chest lightly with her hand, quickly stopping her cry.

"Phew... thankfully I wasn't discovered."

Then Xiao Yao saw that the red undergarment draped over his clothes had been quietly pulled down. Actually, he had already noticed it, and his body was already completely dry from the heat. In order not to embarrass Cai Ni, he could only keep drying like that, not daring to say a word...

After sensing some movement on the other end, Cai Ni's voice came through: "Um... that... Xiao... Xiao Yao... I'm hungry!"

"Hmm? You just called me by my name?"

"Why has the Empress suddenly changed her personality? She's speaking so gently now..."

Xiao Yao was surprised when his name was called. In his impression, this arrogant successor to the Snake-Man Queen was flawless except for her flawless beauty.

He is disrespectful, unreasonable, tactless, arrogant, and likes to hit people.

"Um... the food is ready, you... you should have some too." Perhaps because of Cai Ni's change in attitude, or perhaps because he felt guilty, Xiao Yao stammered for a moment before hurriedly starting to put on his clothes.

She quickly got dressed, and once the last outer garment was on, an exquisitely beautiful face reappeared alongside her graceful figure. Even more alluring was the sight of her breasts, which were faintly visible from the side.

"Um... here, take this coat, so you don't catch a cold." Xiao Yao quickly took off the long robe he had just put on and threw it to Cai Ni, but his voice was deliberately calm.

Xiao Yao ignored her and instead squatted down to start fiddling with the food.

"Pfft! He can even find such an excuse..."

"He doesn't seem so bad anymore. What's wrong with him? Is he angry?"

Cai Ni took the clothes and couldn't help but look embarrassed. This was the first time he had ever worn clothes that a woman had taken off.

But having clothes to wear is better than being shirtless, so I stopped worrying about anything and put them on in no time.

Cai Ni hesitated for a moment, then spoke softly to Xiao Yao again, "Um... I misunderstood you just now, I apologize."

"Hmm, it's nothing, I didn't pay any attention to it, let's just go over there, besides I saw you..." Xiao Yao stopped abruptly at this point, perhaps because people who have done something wrong are absent-minded.

His mind involuntarily recalled the beautiful scenery he had just seen, and he blurted it out.

"What did you say? What did you see?" Cai Ni blinked her beautiful eyes and stared at him in confusion.

"Oh, it's nothing. We're even now. Come and eat." Xiao Yao quickly changed the subject and handed over the food.

Sure enough, upon seeing the food, Cai Ni forgot her earlier doubts, and her stomach reacted by making a rumbling sound.

"Uh... this isn't that snake, is it? Why... why are you making me eat snake?" Cai Ni frowned when she saw the strips of meat cut into pieces and stuck on the tree branch.

"There was nothing we could do. It was too dark, and we didn't find any wild animals around here. There were no fish in the river either, but we did manage to catch two snakes and pick some wild fruit."

"Snake meat is very fragrant; it's a rare delicacy," Xiao Yao could only explain helplessly.

"I don't want to, I... I'd rather eat some fruit."
