He and It

Echidna hissed several times, and several large stone snakes instantly moved from the throne and swam outside silently.

Xie Ning twitched, no longer having the energy to speak or the energy to defend herself. Echidna shortened her sharp nails and touched the scar on his forehead. Then she reached out to cover the human hand and pinched the thin fingers carefully.

There was no intimacy in his movements, just pure curiosity. In his long life, Echidna had never been willing to get close to any human being, let alone get along with them without hurting them.

What is his name and where does he come from?

Judging from his facial features, he does not look like the residents of Cilicia. Due to the bloodline of Poseidon, the people here are brave and aggressive, and they are all tall and rough people. He is also unlike some people from southern countries, and his language is also a type that no one has ever used.

No matter where he comes from, he is mine, Echidna thought secretly, his will and greedy determination are more unshakable than the majestic Caucasus Mountains.

He stared at the top of Xie Ning's hair and sang triumphantly in his heart: Mine, mine, mine.

Soon, those stone snakes came back, carrying huge silver plates on their heads, inside which lay steaming barbecue, sweet and soft figs, and a kind of cheese, flour, honey and liqueur mixed together. Delicious custard, and next to the silver plate was a golden cup filled with rippling clear wine.

These snakes moved and swayed over, and no waiter could match their swiftness and speed. Xie Ning smelled the aroma of food and was refreshed. His cheeks were sore and he couldn't help secreting saliva.

Echidna stretched out her arms, tore the hot and oily roast for him, and placed it on her wrists and palms for consumption.

Xie Ning was so hungry that her eyes were blurry. She couldn't care less, so she grabbed it and stuffed it into her mouth. The roast was too hot and could not be brought close to his lips for the time being, so he sucked off two soft, ripe figs, swallowed a few pieces of cheese cake, and drank a lot of wine before turning to hard dishes like roast.

Echidna was extremely happy when she saw him eating ferociously. It wasn't until Xie Ning's belly was so stuffed that he couldn't eat anymore, then he asked the big snake to remove the cup and plate.

Hey, he looked at Xie Ning and said eagerly, What's your name and where are you from?

After drinking food and water, Xie Ning finally came back to life. He wiped his mouth with satisfaction and got rid of the state of starving to death.

...Hey, why am I sitting in the middle of Echidna's tail?

Now that hunger no longer seriously interfered with his sanity, Xie Ning took a breath and immediately noticed the strange situation he was in.

He looked at the snake's tail circling around him in surprise. The smell of the demon was like the fragrance of rotting flowers, lingering deeply around him. Xie Ning found that her back was touching Echidna's skin and the delicate edges of the gold jewelry.

He was immediately horrified by this unusual closeness.

The difference between species is greater than the difference between cloud and mud. As an ordinary human being, Xie Ning is like a rabbit sitting on the head of a dragon, with a stress reaction that is almost coming out.

What just happened? Am I hallucinating?

Or is it that I have traveled through time again, this time traveling through a magical timeline where Xie Ning and Echidna fell in love with each other?

Echidna stared at him eagerly. Faced with such a face, figure and tattoos, Xie Ning stammered and found it difficult to say a complete sentence. However, he could not ignore the inquiry of the master of the underground palace.

I, um, I...

Halfway through his stuttering, Xie Ning tried his best to search for appropriate words and phrases in his mind to replace the language of this time and space. He suddenly froze.

Only then did he realize that from beginning to end, when he was communicating with Echidna, what he blurted out was his native language, not the official dialect here.

He asked incredulously: Can you understand what I said?

Echidna felt very strange: Why can't you understand?

Because I'm not speaking your language!

Words are pronounced through the tongue, just to convey the meaning in people's hearts. Echidena said, Even an old goat that can only bleat is happy when it encounters the pasture, and it is also happy when it encounters a hungry wolf. Frightened. Words are enough to express one's feelings, words are just artificial barriers.

After saying this, he asked patiently: What is your name and where are you from?

Xie Ning lowered his head, and he saw a ray of golden light swaying on Echidna's pitch-black snake scales, like a rippled lake surface.

He decided not to tell Echidna his real name yet, since the old king had given him a native name anyway.

As for where he came from, he couldn't tell him directly. Echidna was a moody demon. At this moment, Xie Ning still didn't know why he gave her preferential treatment - could it be for the fragrance last night? Essential oil spa?

That makes no sense. With his identity here, Echidna controls the underground palace and even the lifeblood of a powerful country. If he doesn't want anything, will he be short of people to anoint him? Let's hide it for a while.

Xie Ning made up her mind and replied: My name is... they all call me Dolos. I come from a small country called Eleusis.

Echidna's forked tongue hissed and swung in the air, and he licked the name, as if he wanted to completely suck out the sweetness in it.

Dolos, what a great name! Isn't he a gift given to me by fate?

Echidena memorized it happily. As for the homeland called Eleusis, he didn't care much. In fact, Dolos now only has one hometown worth remembering, and that is Arima's underground palace. .

He asked again: Why are you crying?

Xie Ning: ...

Xie Ning recalled the good deeds she had done when she was so hungry that she took three deep breaths in embarrassment and almost dug her leather sandals into pieces with her toes.

One really cannot be hungry! He thought sadly that he had given up and just let the ghosts and wolves howl this time. Next time, don't be caught by someone and get deceived into borrowing online loans, engaging in pyramid schemes, and becoming the legal person of a leather goods company.
