Chapter 103: Ahhh! So Many Venomous Snakes!
With food to eat, drink to sip, sleep to enjoy, and even a devoted little fan attending to her, Little Eight felt that Nan Xun was living far too comfortably.
It had actually wanted to remind her earlier—the villainous big boss had just been here.
More precisely, over the past few days, the big boss had come every day, sneaking around to watch Nan Xun for a long while in secret, then letting out a cold snort before turning and leaving.
But today, the tyrant big boss lingered a tiny bit longer than usual. His expression was darker, and he didn’t sneer.
Little Eight sensed a slight fluctuation in the tyrant’s emotions. Although the evil-thought value hadn’t dropped at all, this was still a good sign—heehee…
However, Little Eight’s good mood didn’t last long. That night, he was jolted awake by Nan Xun’s scream.
Little Eight yawned. “What’s going o—holy shit! Ahhh! Why are there so many venomous snakes?!”
Nan Xun’s room was crawling with poisonous snakes—on the bed, on the floor, everywhere. A green-spotted flower snake had even climbed onto the bedpost above her head, hissing and flicking its tongue at her.
Nan Xun stared at it, wide-eyed, and the snake stared back at her. They locked eyes for a long while. Then the green-spotted flower snake tilted its head at her. Not only did it not advance, it suddenly sprang down from the bedpost, landing steadily by Nan Xun’s hand, and then extended its tongue to lick the back of her hand.
The other venomous snakes did the same. After circling around her for a long time, they actually began to show affection toward her.
Nan Xun: …
Little Eight: …
“Could it be because I once picked up Xue Ming’s aura, so these venomous snakes are afraid of me? But that’s not right. Xue Ming’s aura should at most have lingered on Zui Li Xuan’s body—there’s no way it could’ve stained my soul too, right?” Nan Xun was utterly confused.
Little Eight was also confused. “Could it be because you once laid a… snake egg?”
No matter the reason, Nan Xun had narrowly escaped disaster. Neither the woman nor the beast had expected the tyrant big boss to be so utterly insane—damn it, he had actually released so many venomous snakes to bite Nan Xun.
To be devoured by a swarm of poisonous snakes—what a way to die…
At first, seeing a mass of slithering venomous snakes had scared Nan Xun half to death. But now, seeing some of the little snakes actually acting cute and clingy toward her, she somehow felt her heart overflow with affection.
When her egg hatched in the future, would it also be a little snake with small eyes and a big head like this?
Right—her baby would also have a pair of tiny fleshy wings and little claws. Its scales would be ruby-red, and its eyes too.
Just imagining it was so adorable.
Nan Xun reached out and patted a small snake’s head, her gaze indulgent. “Good little one, don’t come out scaring people in the middle of the night. Go back now—go do whatever you’re supposed to do.”
Before long, the swarm of venomous snakes slithered away one after another. Before leaving, they even reluctantly flicked their tongues at her.
—
Outside Chimu Palace, a man dressed in a black long robe embroidered with silver-thread dragon patterns stood with his hands clasped behind his back.
His expression was hidden by the night. Only a pair of cold, merciless eyes could be seen, utterly still in the darkness.
After hearing the woman’s terrified scream, his eyes flickered slightly. In the next instant, the corner of his lips curled into an incomparably icy smile.
Not long after, a man in black flew out of the Cold Palace courtyard and knelt before him.
“Where are Qin Buyao’s remains? I want to see with my own eyes how miserable that slut looked before she died. Being bitten and devoured by a swarm of snakes—that must feel quite good.” The man smiled faintly, but his eyes were filled with bone-deep hatred.
“These women—when he stood high above them all, …”
