Chapter 131: Chapter 80 Leisure Time_3
If someone could collect all 12 cards, Hexia would gift them a picture book.
In this way, she had her own loyal audience, although not many in number, but the atmosphere was very good, free from much of the outside world's noise and complexity.
After interacting with the maids in the store, Hexia brought her pet snake to the nearby White Feather Church of 'Deklabi'. She peeked in and, seeing that the guests had left, she entered.
Inside the circular compartment, some birds were grooming their feathers, some were chirping, and some flew down in front of 'Deklabi' to peck at the food in her palm.
"Hoo~" Perhaps her palm was ticklish or maybe a bit sore, Deklabi placed the bird feed on the small white table, letting them feast freely.
"Has Dantalion come?" Upon hearing familiar footsteps, she looked up to see Hexia walking in.
The two knelt at the table, and from Hexia's sleeve, a small white-scaled snake slithered out, coiled up on the table, and watched the birds pecking in front of it.
"No attacking them, okay~" Hexia held the snake's body, her finger gliding over its head, admonishing and instructing the mischievous little white snake.

Perhaps understanding Hexia's words, the white-scaled tree viper retreated a short distance but remained curiously watching the pecking birds from afar.
"It's so well-behaved, it even understands what you say," Deklabi said, looking at the snake with its head raised, curious and envious.
Although she had many birds, they were not Transcendent animals and had limited intelligence. They could only occasionally help her lift strands of hair or skirt edges, or just show off.
"It does understand, but it can be naughty sometimes," Hexia commented.
"Is it from 'Botis' jungle?"
"Yes, there are many Transcendent poisons there, and recently there was a large spider recovering from an injury," Hexia thought aloud.
"I've heard about that; people even say that besides Botis himself, Dantalion is the second person in the store who can interact with those animals so easily."
"Once, a bold maid entered the jungle but got bitten, and after that, no one else went in," Deklabi spoke of what she knew.
"Bitten?" Hexia thought back carefully, it seemed her first visit there was quite easy, perhaps she was just lucky.
"What happened after that? If bitten, one would need an antidote quickly, right?"
"Yes, the store always has serum on hand. That was also a requirement for Botis to prepare in advance; otherwise, we definitely couldn't keep these creatures in the store," Deklabi continued, then pulled out a small piece of soft candy to sway in front of the snake, seemingly to draw its attention.
"Ah~"
The tree viper suddenly darted out and bit the soft candy. This startled Deklabi, causing her to let go of the candy in her hand.
Fortunately, the little one knew restraint and did not bite Deklabi's fingers, otherwise it would have faced a stern lesson today.
"Scaring someone again," the girl tapped the snake on the head and then helped it swallow the soft candy.
After eating the treat, the snake felt a bit sleepy and coiled up on the table.
"Quite a pretty one." Deklabi rested her chin on her arms, taking a moment to observe the snake. Tree viper scales were rather ornamental, and if not for their venom, perhaps many people would keep them as pets.
Entering the Interstellar Era, humans' pets became more diverse, especially since Transcendent creatures generally saw an increase in intelligence, making many previously untamable animals able to be domesticated, becoming safe.
Last weekend, Hexia and Yilin went shopping and saw a clothing store that kept jellyfish.
In the tall blue glass tank, jellyfish with glowing fluorescence swam about, incredibly beautiful to behold.
After sitting and chatting with 'Deklabi', Hexia returned to her quiet little library, practicing violin on the high chair, her music melodious, until work ended.
After the last gathering ended, Hexia's life seemed to slowly enter a peaceful and stable state.
After completing the necessary work during the day, she would practice the violin in her spare time, occasionally communicate with companions, and gather with former elementary school classmates during holidays, gradually becoming more familiar as before.
And so, June slowly came to an end, and July gradually arrived; the toxicity of the rampant rain slowly weakened and eventually became harmless.
At that time, the northern regions became active and open once again.
