Chapter 453 Petting the Hog-Nosed Snake

Although alpaca saliva is stinky, bird's sense of smell usually isn't that sensitive.

Some raptors like the cinereous vulture have a better sense of smell and can find prey by scent, and birds like pigeons and albatrosses can also navigate using smells.

The damage isn't severe, but the insult is extreme!

After being sprayed with saliva, the peafowl shook its head, feeling the sticky substance on its face, and was almost on the verge of exploding with anger.

"I'm so beautiful, and you dare not worship me with utter admiration, even daring to spit at me! You lack martial virtue!"

It shook its tail even more furiously!

Brother Aotian shook his head and turned around, his gaze exuding an air of proud defiance as if to say,

"You might posture all you want, but I can lay you out with my spit."

The peafowl used its ability "Tail Shake"!

The alpaca used its ability "Spit"!

Their signature moves didn't do much damage, it was like two Metapods battling, mainly competing in terms of presence!

The alpaca and the peafowl held their heads to the side, necks stiff, occasionally turning to lock eyes with each other, neither willing to back down.

Yang Xiaochao stroked Brother Aotian's neck and blocked his line of sight with one hand, trying to calm him down, "Alright, alright, it's such a rare opportunity, let's just take a walk instead."

The peafowl's animal keeper, seeing the situation, laughed a bit and came to take the peafowl away, "Look at how dirty your face is, go wash up quickly!"

After the minor commotion, they continued with their walk.

The gentle golden Sunshine cast slanting shadows over them.

Within the bamboo grove, a pleasant spring breeze blew, causing the bamboo leaves to rustle.

The clear stream felt cool to the touch, and as the water hit the stones, it splashed up white foam, making a pleasant sound.

In the cherry blossom forest, the pristine blossoms tinged with pink formed an unbroken spectacle, like a continuous, dazzling array of pink clouds, with the air also filled with the subtle and lovely fragrance of cherry blossoms.

Petals and butterflies fluttered together, landing on the green grass, as if a delicate cherry blossom carpet had been laid out.

Taking the alpaca for a leisurely walk, amidst such captivating scenery, one felt relaxed and light-hearted, as if all tiredness had been healed.

Yang Xiaochao took a deep, blissful breath!

He turned back to exchange a look with his team members, their hair dancing in the wind, and couldn't help but reveal a row of white teeth, smiling extremely happily.

It had been a long while since they had felt this relaxed!

"Hey, I feel I could stroll around like this all day!"

Shi Xi, who had initially covered her eyes, not daring to look, mustered up the courage to peek through her fingers after hearing this.

Although the hog-nosed snake is a pet, the display case was still nicely arranged.

Dark greenish stones were laid out at the base of the tank, and a thumb-thick, light yellow hog-nosed snake leisurely slithered out from the weeds.

Its sides were like cheese, with a pale cream color, and the yellow on its back was much brighter, featuring dark yellow spots that resembled corn kernels.

Flicking its little tongue, sensing the environment, it emanated an aura of harmlessness.

"Wow!"

Shi Xi exclaimed in surprise.

"This snake doesn't look like what I had in mind; it seems less terrifying?"

Lü Ye responded with a smile, "Use an affirmative sentence! There's really nothing to fear."

Actually, Shi Xi's impression of snakes was mostly from TV and books; she had never seen a real snake in person before. This was her first time.

She asked her teammate, "What do you think?"

Her teammate contemplated the yellow hog-nosed snake and said, "It seems... indeed... not that scary?"

The hog-nosed snake moved to the edge of a little water dish.

Resting its chin on the rim, it first tested the water with its tongue before drinking slowly, with tiny gulps, 'miamiamia'.

As its face moved with each sip, its tiny eyes still kept watch around, looking very well-behaved!

Watching it drink water so contentedly, one might think it was enjoying some exquisite nectar.

After quenching its thirst, it smacked its mouth, seemingly still not satisfied, and stuck out its tongue a few more times.

It looked rather adorable with its simple, cute appearance.

Seemingly noticing the people outside the display case, it curiously poked its head out a bit further, flicking its tongue.

Lü Ye said with a laugh, "Let me show you."

She opened the display case and extended her index finger to gently touch the hog-nosed snake on its head.

Because of its cute appearance and boldness, this hog-nosed snake was often used as an interactive animal in the exhibit for visitors to get close to.

Touched by Lü Ye, it frequently flicked out its tongue and even leaned in towards her.

Lü Ye then playfully scratched its nose with her fingertip.

Watching the hog-nosed snake play with Lü Ye, Shi Xi couldn't help but remark, "My gosh, I can't believe I'm finding a snake kind of cute?"
