"And then? What does it have to do with me?" Jiang Ning turned her head to meet Huo Ziheng’s gaze, "Don’t think I can’t hit you because you’re standing far away, keep talking and you’ll bother my ears, I can still beat you half to death."
When Jiang Ning said this, her expression was indifferent, her tone was also mild, without any sign of irritability, but after hearing her words, Huo Ziheng subconsciously felt a shiver down his spine!
His complexion turned from green to white, his eyes glaring at Jiang Ning with dissatisfaction on his face, but because of the shadow of being beaten by Jiang Ning before, he didn’t dare to talk back harshly, fearing that Jiang Ning would beat him up at the slightest disagreement.
Qi Xingzhou squatted beside Jiang Ning.
As Jiang Ning picked up firewood earlier, he also pretended to gather a few sticks, and when Jiang Ning plucked leaves, he followed suit... Now that Jiang Ning was squatting in front of the Langyan to start a fire, he copied her actions completely, doing exactly as Jiang Ning did.
The scream from Huo Miao had been loud enough, and although Qi Xingzhou had heard it, he was used to ignoring and blocking out external noises, so he didn’t realize that her fall could potentially cause trouble for Jiang Ning. Even when Huo Ziheng was standing in front of Jiang Ning asking for medicine, Qi Xingzhou didn’t sense anything wrong.
It wasn’t until he heard what Jiang Ning said that Qi Xingzhou finally had a delayed realization, sensing the awkwardness of the situation.
He lifted those beautiful dark eyes, his gaze darkened as it fell on Huo Ziheng.
Huo Ziheng, who had been standing under the sun, suddenly felt a chill all over his body. He furrowed his brows, prepared to say more when he suddenly felt something cold wrapping around his ankle.
Huo Ziheng looked down instinctively, and just that glance nearly scared the soul out of him!
Huo Ziheng opened his mouth but couldn’t utter a single word, too scared to make a sound.
The live stream’s camera followed his movement of looking down, giving a close-up of his lower body. On Huo Ziheng’s right foot, a snake as thick as a woman’s finger had somehow wrapped itself around him, the snake’s body pitch-black, circling slowly and continuously winding around Huo Ziheng’s ankle.
This scene also gave the viewers watching the live stream a fright:
[Crap, crap! How is there a snake!?]
[Damn, damn, damn! I’m scared to death!]
[What the hell! Why is the snake wrapped around his foot, and Huo Ziheng hasn’t reacted at all! He only notices when the tip of its tail is almost wound up!]
[Ahhh that’s so scary! What to do now!]
[No, I tried to put myself in his shoes, if I were Huo Ziheng, what would I do in this situation... and then I think I might suffocate]
Huo Ziheng also felt like he might suffocate.
He didn’t even know when a snake had wrapped around his foot!
Feeling the snake crawling on his ankle, the chilling brush against his skin made Huo Ziheng wish he could faint immediately.
His body was stiff, his face pale, his lips moved a few times, and finally, a weak voice came out of his mouth:
"Help, help me... snake..."
After noticing something was off with Huo Ziheng, Jiang Ning’s gaze swept downward and upon seeing a small snake coiled around Huo Ziheng’s ankle, she slightly raised an eyebrow. What was this odd situation?
With just one look, Jiang Ning recognized the small black snake as one that was highly venomous.
You could say Huo Ziheng was lucky; he was wrapped up by a venomous snake.
But then again, it seemed unlucky, for having been wrapped up by a venomous snake, he surprisingly wasn’t bitten.
Jiang Ning discreetly pulled out the survival knife she carried with her.
Although she didn’t care about the Huo family members’ lives, her tent was nearby, and it wouldn’t be good if the snake ran into her tent later.
[What! What is Jiang Ning doing, she took out her survival knife?]
[Hmm...seeing her action, could it be that she intends to do the same as that day, throwing the knife to kill the snake?]
[Here it comes, she’s bringing her special skill! Jiang Ning’s signature move: Xiao Jiang Flying Dagger]
[Whoever coined Xiao Jiang Flying Dagger, don’t be so ridiculous]
Jiang Ning’s sharp gaze settled on the snake.
The small black snake wrapped around Huo Ziheng’s foot perhaps sensed the murderous aura, and as Jiang Ning was about to make her move while touching the handle of the knife, the snake suddenly released its grip from Huo Ziheng’s ankle, contracted its body, and disappeared swiftly into the nearby bushes.
Huo Ziheng’s eyes widened, his body went limp, and he collapsed to the ground without any dignity.
Jiang Ning frowned slightly.
The snake just left like that?
Without biting anyone? Without attacking?
It seemed as if its appearance was merely to frighten Huo Ziheng...
Jiang Ning was startled by this bizarre thought that crossed her mind.
Not just her, even the netizens who had been holding their breath in front of the screen were shocked:
[That... it just left?]
[Was that really a snake?]
[Do snakes have such big hearts? To circle their prey and resist taking a bite?]
[This couldn’t be a bug from the production crew, could it? Where did such a kind-hearted snake come from?]
[Uh, there’s something I’m not sure if I should say]
[Huo Ziheng... he seems to have peed himself...]
[Uh, it seems true, his crotch is all wet...]
[Ahem, understandable... after all, with the shock he got just now, it’s normal to have an accident, it’s just urinary incontinence...]
[A massive facepalm moment]
At first, even Huo Ziheng himself hadn’t realized he had wet himself.
Only when he smelled an odd scent and his gaze moved downward did he see it. He was wearing dark grey trousers, and the wet area around the crotch was particularly noticeable.
Realizing what it was, Huo Ziheng shook, closed his eyes, and wished he could just faint on the spot.
He didn’t even dare to look up at Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou’s expressions. He quickly got up from the ground and ran towards his tent, his silhouette a picture of utter chaos and disarray.
