1958 Why Would She Circle Him In A Protective Ring? (1/2)

Shen Nianmo suddenly lunged forward and moved very quickly towards the snakes.

Gu Xijiu was shocked by his sudden move. Quickly, she pulled his clothes and dragged him back forcefully. ”Are you looking for death? All these snakes are extremely venomous. Once bitten by any of them, you will die almost instantly.”

It was a child's behavior to act impulsively. The young were usually fearless.

Shen Nianmo looked at her fixedly. ”Are you worried that I might die?”

Gu Xijiu thought that the question was rather odd. She was certainly worried. If he died, her mission would be considered as a failure.

Apart from the mission, she really liked the child, so she would not have the heart to watch him die in vain.

She could not tell him the truth, so she sighed in a helpless tone. ”You are the only precious child to your parents. If anything happens to you, your parents will hunt me down.”

Shen Nianmo was disappointed. He had not expected that her kind gestures were all for the sake of his parents. Therefore, he hugged his arms and stood his ground. ”All right. You should do it yourself.”

Gu Xijiu had always wanted to catch the snakes herself, but at the same time, she could not leave Shen Nianmo alone in the dark. She was worried that he might be bitten by one of the snakes that escaped her eyes.

She thought about it for a moment. Then, she took out a bottle and circled him with the medicine. ”Stay within the circle. Don't get out of here.”

Did she think that he was a well-known Tang Priest who needed protection at all times? Why would she circle him in a protective ring? Also, the circle was imperfect.

Gu Xijiu took a leap and landed at the circle of snakes. The first snake that she was about to catch was the most colorful one. The snake was the rarest and the most venomous kind out of all. If she was not mistaken, it was the king of snakes.
