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

Like lightning, Gu Xijiu sped. She tried to catch it from the air by clinging onto its vital point. To her surprise, the snake reacted very quickly. Within a split second, the snake retreated and hid amongst the other snakes.

The Snake Pearl started to fall, and all the other snakes were alarmed. Defensively, many of them turned to look at Gu Xijiu.

Gu Xijiu failed to catch the snake, but she needed to step onto a surface in order for her to bounce back to her original position. Unfortunately, there were countless of snakes under her; no matter where she chose to land, she would definitely be bitten.

Desperately, she was determined to step onto the snakes. However, all of a sudden, she could feel a force at her waist. Soon, her entire body was being lifted. Safely, she landed safely in the hands of a man.

Shen Nianmo whispered, ”For the sake of your life, I would like to hear you call me as your senior apprentice.”

”In your dreams!” Gu Xijiu stomped on his foot. He finally let go of her waist and placed her securely on the ground.

She turned and looked at Shen Nianmo. There he stood, well-behaved and unmoving in the circle. He did not even move a bit.

Although the child was fond of taking advantage of her, she could not help but agree that his help came when she needed it the most.

”You have indeed saved me, but I am not afraid of the bites, so it doesn't count as saving my life. Therefore, little child, it does not count as a life-saving gesture. It is not easy to make me address you as my senior apprentice.”

”Little child!” Shen Nianmo had been saying the term repeatedly. Then, he continued half-jokingly, ”You sound like you have aged a lot. How old are you, exactly?”

Gu Xijiu hesitated. She knew that he would not listen to her if she continued to show him her teenage side; she did not look superior enough. Moreover, her current appearance had greatly restricted her power, so she seriously considered returning to her old self.
