Project Relife: 2x Isekai System

Chapter 61: Cobra Wine

Xin was sure, with the power of the snakes and the blessings of Asclepius, those twins would have a great future filled with name and fame ahead. But he wasn't interested in them. What he was eyeing was the favor of the two snakes.

He wasn't sure whether he could gain the twins' favors or not, but he was confident that he could gain the favors of the snakes by providing them what they needed the most at that time.

"Ahem," Xin cleared his voice and approached near the two girls, to be more precise, approached near the snakes above their heads.

Hiss!! Hissss!!

The two snakes started hissing on observing Xin's movement. And the reason was also pretty obvious, they wanted to protect their hosts and the chosen ones from any kind of harm and danger.

Xin cautiously approached near the snakes and bent down up to their level, "Hey, you two thieves, stop hissing," Xin asked in a calm voice.

It was neither a request nor an order. It was more like teasing someone to make them furious. Hearing Xin's words, the Snake of healing fell for his provocation and replied in a heavy voice, "Hissssssss, puny Human!! Do you even know who am I?! I am-"

Before he continued, Xin intervened in his talk and said, "The Snake of Healing, and the blessing of Asclepius."

The two snakes backed off in fear and maintained some distance from Xin. Judging from their behavior, Xin deduced that the Snake of Healing has a hot-tempered character, while the Snake of Wisdom was a calm typed character.

The Snake of Wisdom had been observing him from the beginning. He was neither furious nor responsive towards Xin. Only the Snake of Healing fell for the trap and started talking with him.

"Cunning Human, who are you?! What's the name of your deity? Which kind of blessings do you have?!" This time the Snake of Wisdom opened his mouth and hissed out a lot of questions towards Xin.

"Hehehe, calm down, Wisdom Snake. I don't have a deity like these two girls, and for your second question, let me have you a taste of it," Xin abruptly moved his hands and touched the snakes at the center of their eyes.

Hisssssssssssss!!

Hisssssssssssssss!!

Hissssssssssssssssssss!!

Hissssssssssssssssssssssssss!!

The two snakes became furious and started to hiss at each other. On a closer look, Xin could tell that they were afraid of the existence before them rather than being furious.

Be it a blessing or a deities blessing, it always needs an enormous amount of magiculus energy to use those powers. Though the twins were blessed by the god of Healing, Asclepius, they weren't blessed in their magic vessel part.

There was a limitation on how many times they can use the blessings in a day. On the other hand, Xin had merged his magic vessel with his infinite storage space, giving him the ability to use any skills or blessings as many times as he wants in a day.

Xin took advantage of this and let the snakes feel the capacity of his magiculus vessel. A few minutes ago, when he touched the snakes, he allowed them to enter into his mind and gauge his vessel's depth.

The snakes were somewhat confused about it, 'Why this human letting us have a peek at his vessel?' was the initial question that came into their mind.

Even though they were confused, they didn't miss the chance and dive into his magiculus vessel to gauge its capacity and strength. And this was the very thing that Xin wanted them to do at that time. Make them jump into his vessel and let them have a taste of its capacity.

"Hisss!! Human tells us the truth," The Snake of Healing asked in a loud voice. It couldn't resist the fear inside and blurted out something that Xin wanted them to ask.

The Snake of Wisdom calmed down after some seconds. It was showing relaxed behavior on the outside, but deep inside, he was trembling in fear. It was his first time to meet a human with a vessel as big as that.

They were of the idea that his magiculus vessel was somewhat big. Little did they know at that time, it was not big but rather an infinite storage vessel.

"Hehehe," Xin laughed with a creepy expression again and didn't give an immediate answer.

If it were someone else, the Snake of Healing would have beaten him/her to death, but currently, the person before them was someone having a lot of magiculus on him. And it was also the thing they needed the most at that time.

"Great Human, don't play with us like that. Please tell us your identity. Who are you? Which deity is supporting you from the shadow?"

Xin facepalmed at his question and replied, "Didn't I jus-" Before he said something else, Nen intervened the convo and asked the question that he had been keeping in for a while.

"Mr. Xin, why are you talking with those unconscious girls?" Nen asked with a puzzled expression.

"Ah, almost forgot that you two can't see them."

"Can't see whom?" asked Zinon.

"Ugh" Xin hesitated for a while. He wasn't sure whether he should let them see the snakes or not. After giving it some thought, he decided to let them see the spirits before them.

"Mr. Nen, Xenon, please come near," Xin touched them on their foreheads and made a special mark on them. It was a power-sharing mark that temporarily allows the user to share some of his powers with the others.

In the beginning, both of them felt a little drowsy, but soon they got adapted to it. Suddenly the world around them became as colorful as ever. They started to see the magiculus and the spirit particles around them. In addition, they were able to see the two snakes conversing with each other.

This was their first time to see something as weird as that. Two snakes were talking, and that too fluently like humans. Only one thing was odd, and that was their hissing sound at different intervals.

Nen rubbed his eyes in disbelieve while Zinon rubbed his forehead in confusion. Only one thing was bubbling in their mind, 'How in the world can these snakes can speak like us? And that too with this much fluency?!!'

Xin knew what they were thinking and asked them to go near the two snakes. Nen wasn't sure why he asked them to go near those poisonous creatures and hesitated for a while before going near. On the other hand, Zinon knew Xin never meant any harm to him and went near the snakes without hesitation.

"Hissss damn!! Now, these two humans can see us!! Bighead, tell, what should we do now?"

"Whoa, Xin, are they talking about us?" Zinon asked with excitement. Instead of getting afraid or nervous, he was getting more enthusiastic about the two snakes.

And the reason was something that none of the two snakes had guessed till then. Zinon belonged to a family of chefs. Making tasty food and strong wines was one of their specialties.

In some countries, Snake wine, and to be more specific, Cobra wine is considered one of the top-grade wines. Some dealers even grow high-quality cobras for the same purpose.

Not only it's a high-quality wine, but it's also a type of drink that can give immense pleasure and relief to its drinker.

Seeing the two snakes were palm-sized, Zinon was tempted to catch them and put them in containers with rice wine or grain alcohol. Only one question was coming to his mind at that time, 'If normal snake wine can give unfathomable pleasures, then what type of pleasures would these talking snakes give if I make some wine out of them?! '

Seeing the evil grin on his face, a cold sensation ran throughout their body. The two snakes weren't aware of Zinon's intentions, but they were aware that the brown-eyed guy was planning something bad against them.

"Hu-hu-hu-human, wha-what wh- whyy a- are are you smiling like that while looking at us?" asked the Snake of Healing. Though he was a short-tempered one, his attitude took a major turn after coming in contact with the person before him.

As if all his senses were warning him, do not fiddle or bad talk with this person, or else the outcome will be something bad. 

Not only him but also the Snake of Healing, too, asked him something similar, "Human, I can feel a hostile feeling coming for you for some reason. You are making me feel suffocated with your behavior. And care to explain, why are you smiling like that while looking at us?"

"Huh, what are you two talking about?! I have met you two just now. What made you feel hostility from my side?! It's not like I am gonna put you in a glass jar and make special cobra wine of you two."
