Chen Nan, who was lurking in the dark, was also startled, thinking that he had been discovered by Lan Yuqin and even jumping into the Pacific Ocean wouldn’t cleanse his name.
However, when he turned around, he realized he was mistaken.
In front of Lan Yuqin, a cobra measuring 1.2 meters long was rearing its head, hissing at her in a particularly frightening manner.
At that moment, after a loud scream, Lan Yuqin abruptly stood up and started to run.
If Lan Yuqin hadn’t moved, the cobra might not have been so quick to strike, but the moment she fled, the snake immediately stretched its body and lunged to bite Lan Yuqin’s bare legs.
Chen Nan was now ten meters away, while the cobra was less than half a meter from Lan Yuqin. Moreover, the moment Chen Nan saw them, the cobra was preparing to attack.
The speed of a snake’s attack is extremely fast; in such a short time, even if Chen Nan had great skills, he would not have been able to intervene.
Chen Nan picked up a pebble from the ground and threw it at the cobra.
But just as Chen Nan released the stone, the cobra bit into Lan Yuqin’s thigh.
Lan Yuqin couldn’t help screaming in pain, still in a half-squatting position, without having enough time to straighten up. She thought she could escape, but the snake’s speed was unexpectedly fast.
At that moment, a light noise rang out, and a mist of blood sprayed as the cobra was struck by Chen Nan’s pebble, instantly splitting into two pieces.
At this critical moment, Chen Nan disregarded any impropriety, rushed over, and crushed the snake’s head under his foot, turning it into mush. He then looked at Lan Yuqin, who was paralyzed with fear on the ground, "Don’t panic, a cobra’s venom isn’t always fatal."
While speaking, he pressed two fingers on her thigh, sealing the acupoints to prevent the spread of the toxin.
Lan Yuqin, pale-faced from fear, slowly raised her head. When she saw Chen Nan standing before her, her entire body shuddered in fright, "You... what are you doing here!?"
Lan Yuqin looked at Chen Nan with a face filled with panic.
Normally, encountering such an event would cause her face to turn bright red with embarrassment. However, due to the cobra’s strike, she was so scared that her face turned ghostly white. Despite feeling both ashamed and angry inside, she couldn’t bring herself to flush...
Chen Nan slapped his forehead and said helplessly, "My dear teacher, why I am here isn’t important; what’s important is that you’ve been bitten by a venomous snake!"
Lan Yuqin pointed at Chen Nan, trembling with rage, her face turning redder, "You pervert, you were spying on me, you shameless!" While cursing, she swung her palm furiously towards Chen Nan’s face.
A solid slap, but not on Chen Nan’s face; instead, it landed on his palm as he blocked it.
After the slap, Lan Yuqin clutched her palm and cried out in pain; it was as if she had hit a metal plate, causing her hand to ache.
"Look, Teacher Lan, I was here collecting firewood and stumbled upon you by accident, okay? It’s not like I was deliberately spying on you. Did you have to hit me so hard?" Chen Nan said, frustrated.
Upon hearing Chen Nan’s words, Lan Yuqin’s face turned even redder, struggling to find her words.
This was truly an embarrassment!
Glancing at a quivering and flushed Lan Yuqin, Chen Nan said, "Let’s not argue over this now. Sit down quickly, and I’ll suck out the venom. Right now, I’ve sealed the acupoints so the venom hasn’t spread, but if we wait too long, you’ll surely die."
"You... shameless, don’t touch me, I’d rather die than need your help," Lan Yuqin said frantically, trying to run away.
But then Chen Nan pointed a finger at her, and she suddenly felt powerless and sat on the ground.
Glaring furiously at Chen Nan, Lan Yuqin gritted her teeth and said, "What do you want? Let me go right away, or I’ll call for help!"
Looking at Lan Yuqin’s flushed face, Chen Nan said irritably, "Why would you call out? So many students are nearby; what do you think I could do to you? As a teacher, I wonder what goes on in your mind. All my good intentions are taken by you for liver and lung of a donkey."
After observing Chen Nan’s expression, Lan Yuqin’s emotion calmed down a bit and said, "Then... what have you done to me? I can’t muster any strength; let me go immediately."
"Go? Go where? Don’t you know you’ve been bitten by a cobra? You still want to go? Do you want to die?"
Before Lan Yuqin could speak, Chen Nan glared and interrupted, "What ’I’? If you don’t want to die, sit still here and let me draw out the poison. Of course, if you want the entire class to know about this incident, you may yell out loud, summon them over, and let them all see."
The latter statement was a threat from Chen Nan.
Lan Yuqin was confused and distressed, unsure of what to do in front of this somewhat domineering individual who was also her student.
How could she maintain any dignity if she allowed him to help suck out the snake venom!
"Stop the nonsense. It’s because I’m willing to help you. If it were someone else, they might not even agree to suck out the venom!" Saying this, Chen Nan bent down and began to suck several times on the wound, spitting out some black blood.
Watching Chen Nan in front of her, Lan Yuqin’s feelings became exceedingly complex.
"You... you’re just going to suck out the poison ? Aren’t you afraid of being poisoned to death?"
