1957 She Would Stop Overthinking (2/2)

Gu Xijiu could see many small, green eyes shimmering. She was irritated by the repetitive patterns of the snake. The sight of the countless snakes immediately sent a shiver down her spine.

These rarely seen snakes were extremely poisonous. The very poison that was spurted from the snake was enough to kill a celestial being. The air was now also filled with the fishy smell of the snakes.

Gu Xijiu tried to suppress the irritation and focused on the snakes to differentiate them.

”Which one?” Shen Nianmo lowered his head and whispered into her ear.

Gu Xijiu was mildly agitated by his warm breath, so she shifted her head a little. ”I have not found it.”

”Why do I get a feeling that you are interested in all these snakes?”

Gu Xijiu did not answer. Truth be told, she was indeed interested in all of them. She was an expert in the use of poisons. Her habit was to study all kinds of poison, so she would definitely be interested in the poisonous snakes. These snakes were the treasured rarities that she would love to collect. However, the snakes were too venomous. She dared not rush into the circle of snakes foolishly and catch them all at once. Perhaps, she should start with the ones at the back.

”If you call me as your senior apprentice, I will catch these snakes for you,” Shen Nianmo offered his help. He was standing very close to her.

Gu Xijiu answered scornfully, ”I thought you were afraid of snakes.”

”Hmm. If you can call me as your senior apprentice, I can forget about my fear for a second.”

The child had a smooth tongue.

Gu Xijiu did not take him seriously. She continued to eye on the snakes while thinking of a way to catch them.
