"Your Highness!"
At the doorway, Nantang’s shocked voice came through, and countless Black-clothed Hidden Guards emerged, ready to capture Su Yan.
Xuanyuan Yonghao’s eyes were pitch black,
"Stand down!"
His voice was faint, but once he spoke, all the Hidden Guards halted instantly and stood there.
"Hiss hiss!!"
"Hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss!!!!"
"Hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss!!!!!"
Su Yan had one hand around Xuanyuan Yonghao’s neck, her eyes indifferently observing each of the Black-clothed Men standing there.
In the corner, beneath a cabinet, dozens of snakes slithered in, as if defending something, uniformly blocking the Black-clothed Men’s path.
A snake as thick as a black and red flower-patterned arm was coiling around the rafters, flicking its scarlet tongue.
"Hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss~~"
Xuanyuan Yonghao merely fluttered his eyelids at this spine-chilling scene.
Then shifted his gaze to Su Yan.
At that moment, the posture they were in: he lay on the ground, and Su Yan sat on top of him, drenched, one hand clutching his throat, her expression indifferent.
She still looked as soft as ever, yet she emanated a sense of estrangement and chilliness.
In the midst of this tense confrontation, Xuanyuan Yonghao’s face was pale, and he coughed twice, his lips smeared with fresh blood from a bite.
"You want to kill me?"
He lowered his brows, his tone carrying an unmistakable hint of concealed disappointment.
Su Yan looked at his pale and frail appearance, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.
Xiao Hua, who had been silent for fear of being thrown out, finally couldn’t resist and whispered a reminder,
"Host, take a deep breath, stay calm, stay calm."
Her voice was filled with pleasantry; she didn’t dare to speak loudly.
Su Yan lifted her right hand to wipe the blood from her lips, her eyes cold.
At this moment, her wrist felt a burning heat.
She lowered her head, looking at her wrist.
The black bracelet of unknown make, with a ruby drop-shaped gemstone on it, was shining a bright red light.
Seeing the blood on the Ruby, Su Yan paused.
The strength in her hand around his neck suddenly increased.
Then her fingers traced a spot on his neck, she bent down, brought her head close, and bit down again.
Xuanyuan Yonghao let out a muffled grunt.
But his lips bore a slight smile, his arms wrapped around Su Yan’s waist, allowing her bite.
Xiao Hua informed softly,
"Ding dong, the second Star has been lit."
Xiao Hua felt the male lead was inexplicably odd; why did he seem to like the Host more after being bitten? Could it be that he enjoys being bitten, hit, and threatened?
As she saw blood seeping from his neck, Su Yan pressed the drop-shaped red crystal from her bracelet against it.
Then the red crystal shone with a brighter light than before, and in the next second, the crystal returned to normal, but upon closer inspection, it seemed slightly different from before.
Inside it, there appeared to be a liquid flowing.
The rain outside continued to pour; Su Yan felt her mind buzzing with aggravation and frustration, growing endlessly.
She glanced at Xuanyuan Yonghao once more, then released her hand and said nothing more.
Without anyone noticing when, the Black-clothed Men and Nantang had backed out to the doorway, preventing anyone from approaching.
Dozens of snakes coiled at the entrance or on the columns, or on the legs of tables.
The hissing sounds they made were enough to send shivers down one’s spine.
There she stood, her head bowed low, her soaked body exuding a chill.
She took out pieces of sugar from her wallet and stuffed them into her mouth, one after another.
Xuanyuan Yonghao watched her transformation.
Just now, she had been extremely averse to his proximity.
