Fan Fiction Thread for Lost You Forever

 ZYHLJ:

And he must also agree that an honest playboy who can make a woman happy is better for her than an incompetent husband with psychological problems.

Wait. Is this referring to Jing? Because, LOL.

Can I Give Each of Your Heads a Name?

Part 3

Xiao Yao made a pot of tea by herself, poured a cup, and placed it in front of Xiang Liu on the bed.

"It's not convenient to ask Miao Pu to come in now. You can cool it down yourself, right?" She said.

Xiang Liu looked at her, then put several heads directly into the just boiled water and drank.

Xiao Yao was startled and quickly pushed his heads away. Unexpectedly, three other heads got into the cup again and started drinking. They seemed to have felt nothing at all.

"..."

Forget it, she has no idea about the world of nine-headed snake. As long as you are happy.

It seemed Xiang Liu was really thirsty. Nine heads gathered in a circle around the cup like a chrysanthemum, and his little cheeks puffed up with every sip.

Xiao Yao sat by the bed and watched him drink until the cup of water was almost finished. She suddenly thought that Xiang Liu was a sea beast. Although it seemed he could survive on land, it must be uncomfortable if he was not exposed to water for a long time.Then she remembered her promise to provide him with a luxurious fish tank.

She really should find him a decent place to live, at least not a storage box. Besides, how could she deceive a Baby Snake?

Thinking of this, she immediately raised her hand to cover Xiang Liu with her quilt and called out: "Miao Pu."

Miao Pu, who was waiting outside the door, immediately opened the door and walked in, saluting her, "Princess."

"Miao Pu," she sat upright, assuming the manner of a princess she should have, and ordered: "I'm going to do some medical experiments, and I need to use live sea fish. You go get a fish tank which is at least as big as a table, fill it with clean seawater, and get some sand, gravel, seaweed and the like. Oh, and there are also tools for cleaning and filtering water. Send someone to the city to ask the owners of the seafood restaurants, they will definitely have it. Also ask them to send me some live small fish and shrimps that can be used as feed every day. Convey my words to them. If they do well, they will be rewarded heavily."

Miao Pu did not suspect it, and said while saluting: "Yes." Then she carefully reminded: "Princess, what do you want to raise? Do you also need me to help you find it?"

Xiao Yao's mind froze for a moment, and then she said casually: "Yes, I want to raise mackerel, you may go and get one for me." An extra fish as big as a palm in the fish tank will not cause too much trouble to Xiang Liu.

But then she felt something sharp write a big "no" quickly on her back.

Well, it looks like mackerel isn't nine-headed snake's best friend.

"Wrong, it's lobster." She immediately corrected herself. Miao Pu looked at her with a confused expression, but before she could explain, Xiao Yao felt a sudden bite from something on her back. Although the bite was not severe and the skin should not have been broken, it still hurt, and the shock came from the fangs of the demon king in the sea still cannot be underestimated: Xiao Yao immediately felt a layer of goosebumps instinctively rising on her back.

Well, it seems that Xiang Liu doesn’t favor lobster even more.

While she was thinking this, there was a violent rolling sound from the quilt behind her that made her heart palpitate. Xiao Yao immediately said quickly: "No, I remembered it wrong. It's a king crab, an adult king crab. Get it ready before noon tomorrow. Go!" She waved to Miao Pu and almost got up and pushed her out herself.

Miao Pu agreed repeatedly while retreating in confusion. Seeing her close the door, Xiao Yao finally breathed a sigh of relief and lifted the quilt—

"Xiang Liu!"

The nine heads that were fighting in a ball stopped, stretching their necks a little guiltily, not daring to look at her.

Xiao Yao pointed to the nose of one of them and said, "What if you are discovered? Take care of your heads from now on!"

Nine pairs of eyes looked at her with hurt and resentment, and their expression was even a bit like the day she didn't allow him to bite on her neck.

Xiao Yao relented and said: "I ordered a king crab for you. Whether you like it or not, that's it. Are you hungry now? What do you want to eat? I'll go to bed after feeding you."

Xiang Liu didn't answer, but moved back into his box a little aggrievedly. His back looked a bit angry. After entering, he closed the door with his tail to show "do not disturb".

Xiao Yao finally fell on the bed. Seems angry? she thought, then she fell asleep before she could think of the second sentence.

Miao Pu worked very quickly, and everything arrived the next morning. Seeing that Xiang Liu (probably pretending) was still sleeping, Xiao Yao simply locked his box and started working in the room with Miao Pu and Shan Hu. In a short time they had finished it: a fish tank as big as a round table, filled with half a tank of sea water, with a small sand slope paved with milky white sand in one corner. The bottom of the tank is covered with beautiful pebbles and planted with feather-like seaweed. Miao Pu, who is careful, even put a few flower-like sea anemones in it. It doesn’t look like an experimental device, but rather something for viewing. Xiang Liu's new roommate, a plump dark red male king crab, was lying on the bottom of the tank, concentrating on chewing seaweed, completely unaware of his fate.

After everything was done, Shan Hu and Miao Pu retreated. Xiao Yao looked at the fish tank, then climbed onto the bed and opened Xiang Liu's box.

"Lord Xiang Liu, are you awake?" Xiao Yao said, "The fish tank I promised you is here, come out and see if you like it?"

Xiang Liu seemed to have planned to continue pretending to sleep, but maybe he smelled the smell of sea water. After a while, one of his little heads stood up curiously, and immediately saw the conspicuous large fish tank in the room. Before Xiao Yao could say another word of advice, he suddenly turned into a gust of wind and "blew" into the fish tank.

Xiao Yao snickered and stood up, walked to the fish tank, and saw that Xiang Liu was already in the water inspecting his territory like a flash of lightning. The swimming speed only made her feel that such a big fish tank was still wronging him. The king crab in the tank let go of the seaweed and moved his eyes rapidly, cautiously observing this strange creature he had never seen before, but Xiang Liu didn't seem to show much interest in him.

Only then did Xiao Yao discover that Xiang Liu's tail actually had a thin layer of fin supported by cartilage. When on land, they were rolled up and clinging to the scales so as not to hinder movement, so they were difficult to detect. When in the water, it can unfold into a thin and powerful leaf-shaped tail fin, allowing him to move quickly in the water.

How amazing, Xiao Yao thought to herself, she wanted to take a closer look at that fin later. She turned around and scooped out some small fish she asked Miao Pu to prepare from the bowl next to her, and put them into the tank. In the morning, she specially sent someone to the library at Qianqiu Peak to get some books to confirm that the sea snake's main food was fish.

But Xiang Liu seemed to have no intention of eating now. After swimming a few laps in the water, he climbed up to the "beach" contentedly, coiled himself into a circle and entered meditation, and began to cultivate.

It’s really boring to cultivate right after getting up. I've been working so hard for your new home, and you can't even write me a "thank you"! Xiao Yao complained in her heart, but she didn't bother him and went to have lunch.

When she came back, Xiang Liu seemed to have completed schedule for the day and was rubbing one of his small horns on a conch shell on the beach. Seeing Xiao Yao observing him, he stopped rubbing and turned his back, leaving her with nine backs of little heads.

Xiao Yao lay on the edge of the tank and counted the small fish in the water, and found that there were no less fish. She couldn't help but said worriedly: "Xiang Liu, why don't you eat? Aren't you hungry? Or is it not to your liking? Then what do you want to eat, write it on the sand for me to see?"

Seeing that Xiang Liu didn't move, Xiao Yao poked him with her finger and continued: "Xiang Liu, chat with me, please. Don't you feel bored? I prepared such a big tank for you, but you don't go into the water. I want to watch you swim."

As she spoke, she pinched Xiang Liu's tail and pulled him toward the water. However, before he could touch the water, Xiang Liu stretched his necks and ran away from Xiao Yao's evil claw like a cat that refused to take a bath. He fled to the corner, with all nine of his heads standing up warily.

Xiao Yao was confused: Wasn't he swimming happily just now?

Xiang Liu used his tail to quickly write on the sand -  "There is crab shit in the water".

Wuming still fell into a deep sleep. Is it because of the injury she suffered? Maoqiu, you must not repeat the old path your master had taken (falling in love with a weak woman)! Although he has obviously already fallen in love... Fortunately, I think Wuming and Xiaoyao's personalities are not very similar :-). Is the fourth princess Cang Xuan’s daughter? Is she born to A nian? Will she appear? Is there really no soul-calling ceremony? I really want to see the details of the ceremony...

 ZYHLJ:

Xiang Liu used his tail to quickly write on the sand - "There is crab shit in the water".

LOL!  Things I never thought to hear from XL.

 ZYHLJ:

Yes, it is him, you know, I know, we all know...TvT

It seems that everyone knows except for TY. Or maybe TY knows but just doesn't care since it benefits her. Which one is worse? Terrible judgement or knowing, but not caring? 

Besides she has psychological problems herself, so they are well suited :-). 

 ZYHLJ:

The nine heads that were fighting in a ball stopped, stretching their necks a little guiltily, not daring to look at her.

The quarrelsome nine strikes again! But over what? Did they disagree on which sea creature they wouldn't mind taking up part of their tank? Still, isn't Xiang Liu supposed to merely have shrunk in size due to the 雄黄 realgar? Had he actually reverted back to a (petulant) child state as well?

Anyway, what does he have against mackerel or lobster? And all the complaints about crab dung. I don't see how he could have avoided excrement swimming around in the ocean. Xiang Liu, you're just a snob because this king crab interloper is taking up the home she prepared for you. Xiao Yao had better think of a good reason for getting rid of the king crab - perhaps a nice seafood meal for Cang Xuan to mollify him and his increasing suspicions?

Thank you very much for yet another adorable, fun-filled chapter!

@ZYHLJ

So many cute baby XL moments in today chapter that I don't even know which one to react to. He's adorbs. 

This one is so him, though. Our 9-headed serpent likes to be pristine like a white lotus, remembered. How does XY expect him to swim in water that has been shit in?

Is he fighting with himself? Is there a main head that is in charge of all the other heads? Which one is the baby of the group? This is the image that I had in my head when I read this scene. He's too cute!

Awwww.  So cute!

This and the story reminds me of the video where they made Tan Jianci draw the 'expressions' on the various heads.  And he drew one as female, and one was hungry and one was sleepy .... I'll have to see if I can find it again.

Heh ... Good point.  The first thing he says to XY is "Don't get my clothes dirty, or I'll cut your hands off."
