The red clothed youth slowly walked forward, approaching Bai Zhi’er.
The little fellow, realizing she had been discovered, hurriedly retracted her little head and hid behind the bamboo.
She covered her eyes with her two small hands, mumbling, "You can’t see me... you can’t see me..."
Until a low chuckle sounded by her ear, "Heh, I see you."
Bai Zhi’er had to look up at him, her long eyelashes fluttering.
The red clothed youth thought this little fellow was really beautiful, her jet-black eyes bright as if soaked in water.
He smiled slightly, leaned down, his gaze icy, "Little Ball, you didn’t see anything, did you?"
Bai Zhi’er blinked: "I saw everything, ah. You had someone step on a young man and threatened him, saying if he didn’t obey, you’d kill him."
The red clothed youth frowned.
This three-year-old child was really clueless.
He straightened up, crossed his arms, his tone chilling, "Then do you know, I am just as cruel to children."
"Disobedient children should shut up forever, otherwise, I’ll make her regret it."
With that, he looked at Bai Zhi’er, "Will you be a good child?"
Bai Zhi’er thought for a moment and nodded obediently, "Daddy often praises me for being good!"
The red clothed youth pursed his lips, "Then just learn to shut your mouth. What happened just now, don’t mention it to anyone."
"Otherwise, even if you escape to the ends of the earth, I’ll catch you and then..."
He made a throat-slitting gesture, "Kill you."
Bai Zhi’er pouted, her eyes sparkling, seemingly not afraid, just a little troubled.
"I must shut up? But what if I want to talk?"
The red clothed youth was a bit impatient, "Then endure it!"
Today was his Second Uncle’s plum banquet, if not for the inappropriate occasion, he’d really want to bury this Little Ball!
Bai Zhi’er sighed with a bit of regret, her voice sweet as milk.
"Alright, since you’re sincerely begging, I’ll be merciful and keep my little mouth shut."
Saying this, she covered her mouth with her two small hands, blinking her innocent watery eyes.
The red clothed youth saw she was fairly obedient and so cute.
He chuckled, "Good, that’s how a Little Ball should behave."
However, he suddenly noticed.
This child kept glancing up at his head.
Her gaze seemed to hesitate but, remembering the agreement, steadfastly said nothing.
The red clothed youth raised an eyebrow in confusion.
After confirming that the little baby was indeed looking at his head.
He couldn’t help but look up.
Almost at that moment, a colorful, soft-bodied creature fell onto his shoulder with a thud.
The red clothed youth froze.
Bai Zhi’er blinked her moist, jet-black round eyes, watching the young man who had so recently been impressive, now sit plunked on the ground!
With his movements shaking, the snake on his shoulder fell two inches away from him.
The colorful snake’s hissing scared the red clothed youth to the point where he almost lost his voice.
"Quick... quickly take it away!"
"Mmh mmh mmh~" Bai Zhi’er adhered to their agreement, absolutely not speaking!
She blinked her big eyes, squatted down, and watched the embarrassed and frightened red clothed youth as if enjoying a show.
The red clothed youth, torn between fear and anger, said, "Speak up! I allow you to speak now! Quickly take it away!"
Only then did Bai Zhi’er release her hands, shrugging.
"But, the little snake is far from the beautiful brother, ah, let it leave on its own, why must I take it away?"
The red clothed youth was almost scared faint.
He feared nothing more than snakes in his life!
Bai Zhi’er’s childish voice gleefully exclaimed.
"Wow, it’s a Diamond Flower Snake, very venomous! Beautiful brother, you’re amazing, caught by it so quickly."
