Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Human, do you want to die? You dare to ignore me!”

The anger in Sister Yu’s eyes seemed to be on the verge of erupting. More and more green scales appeared on her body, gradually covering it entirely. In the blink of an eye, she had turned into a green snake in front of Yan Jiao.

“Miss, be careful!” When Xiao Cui saw that Sister Yu had returned to her original form, she immediately rushed in front of Yan Jiao to protect her.

Although she knew that Xiao Cui was afraid that the King would blame her if something happened to her, Yan Jiao still felt touched when she saw the short Xiao Cui standing in front of her.

“You’re crazy. the young lady is the King’s guest. If you hurt her, do you think you’ll still be alive at the end of the day?” Xiao Cui looked at Sister Yu, who had lost her mind in anger. Considering that they had lived together for many years, she chuckled and hoped that Sister Yu would not do anything stupid.

“Who said I was going to kill her? I’m not that stupid.” Sister Yu, who had turned into a snake and was lying on the ground, stared at Yan Jiao. “Have you forgotten? My poison won’t cause any harm to the human body. It will only cause them intense pain.”

“Don’t worry, I’m just going to bite her. I won’t kill her. I’ll just make her wish she was dead.” The malice in Sister Yu’s words was almost tangible.

“Don’t! Sister Yu!” Xiao Fen stood there and shouted. Yan Jiao could tell that Xiao Fen wanted to protect her, but for some reason, she did not run towards her. She just stood there with her legs trembling.

As for Sister Shi, she stood there and looked coldly at Yan Jiao. Yan Jiao did not miss the icy glint that flashed across her eyes.

Yu Si, who had torn off her beautiful outer clothing, was now like an evil spirit, looking at Yan Jiao with vicious eyes.

In the next moment, the snake coiled up, and then it suddenly pounced. It opened its bloody mouth and went straight for Yan Jiao!

Yan Jiao looked at the fangs that glinted with a cold light and felt fear in her heart.

Mow, no matter where she ran to, she could not guarantee that she would be able to safely avoid the other party’s attack.

Since she would be bitten no matter what, she might as well choose to stay where she was and trust that Xiao Cui would protect her.

However, Yan Jiao could not bear to watch herself get bitten by a snake spirit.

So, she chose to close her eyes and entrust her life to Xiao Cui.

However, after waiting for a while, the intense pain she had imagined never arrived. Instead, Yan Jiao heard a “dong” sound, as if something had fallen to the ground.

Yan Jiao mentally prepared herself and opened her eyes slightly.

Light once again entered Yan Jiao’s field of vision. The bloody scene that she was so afraid of did not appear. Instead, Xiao Cui, who was standing in front of her before she closed her eyes, was nowhere to be seen.

Yu Si had already transformed back into her human form. She had a look of panic on her face. She opened her mouth and stammered a few times. In the end, she did not know what to say and closed her mouth. She stood on the spot and secretly glanced at her sister from time to time, as if she was asking for help.

“M-miss… ” Realizing that her sister was not helping her, Yu Si anxiously said to Yan Jiao, “Miss, I was wrong. I didn’t do it on purpose. I was just too angry. Please help me plead with the King. I don’t want to die yet.”

It was clear to Yan Jiao that both Yu Si and Sister Shi harbored ill intentions toward her. It was just that one of them knew how to hide her emotions, while the other was stupid enough to show it directly, and even let others use her.

Xiao Fen was already frozen in place. She looked even younger than Xiao Cui. She probably failed come over to protect her because she was too scared to react.

On the other hand, Sister Shi was looking at something behind Yan Jiao. It was unknown what she was looking at.

Yan Jiao was dumbfounded. Her first reaction was that there was someone behind her. She quickly turned her head to look, but there was nothing behind her.

Eh? There was nothing behind her.

‘Oh right, what about Xiao Cui?’ Yan Jiao looked around but did not see her.

Although she did not want to talk to the three people in front of her, Xiao Cui was more important at this moment. “Where’s Xiao Cui? Where was Xiao Cui? You guys didn’t kill her, did you?” Yan Jiao would rather she get hurt herself than see anyone else get hurt because of her.

“Miss, I’m here.” A tender child’s voice rang out from beneath Yan Jiao’s feet. “I’m right beneath your feet. ”

Hearing this, Yan Jiao quickly lowered her head and saw a small green and white snake crawling at her feet.

When she saw that Yan Jiao had noticed her, she even wagged her snake tail twice.

Having just experienced a snake attack Yan Jiao was not mentally prepared. She saw another snake appear at her feet. It was so close that it could bite her ankle with its mouth.

“Aaaaaaaahh!”

Yan Jiao was so frightened that she screamed.
