Chapter 63 - Gorgeous Doctor (10) (2/2)

She dared curse the lord!

The escort didn’t dare to look into the eyes of his lord as he returned to report. Since he began working for Feng Cheng, he had never seen anyone provoke the lord like this bold and arrogant woman.

Feng Cheng glanced over at Ming Shu with his gloomy eyes. “Interesting.”

“…” What? What’s interesting! Such a disrespectful woman. If they’d been at the capital city now, she would have been cut into pieces to feed the wolves a thousand times over.

Xiao Rufeng leaned against the trunk as her eyes moved back and forth between Feng Cheng and Ming Shu, not knowing what she was thinking.

…

Ming Shu refused to share the map; Feng Cheng and his people could do nothing about it. They tried to find the right direction again several times but still couldn’t get out, so they decided to go deeper.

Since they couldn’t leave they’d rather go deeper to have a look.

This idea was put forward by Xiao Rufeng, which was naturally doubted by many of them. In the end, these people didn’t stop arguing until Feng Cheng commanded them to keep going.

No one knew exactly whether there were dragon bones buried under the Mountain of Dragon Bones. But they all knew it was a dangerous place. They were too scared to go on steadily once they heard this place might be the Mountain of Dragon Bones. If it wasn’t for Feng Cheng leading the way, they would have fled.

The trees were not tall on the Mountain of Dragon Bones, and the sunshine easily broke through the canopy, gleaming brightly on the fallen leaves covering the ground. The leaves rustled as the group marched past.

The sun was strong, and any exposed skin burned like it was on fire, almost on the edge of explosion.

The further they marched, the stronger the burning sensation was.

At last, all of them were too hot and tired to move.

“I can’t do this, too hot and thirsty.”

“I’m so tired, I can’t walk any further. Can we just rest for a while?”

Complaints rose up in succession, and the ones at the front had to stop. Because of her obesity, Xiao Rufeng’s entire face was dripping with sweat, but her expression didn’t change much. Compared to those tired and gasping people, she was much hardier.

“It’s like a stove in here, damn, what a hell of a place this is. I don’t want to walk!” Bai Yanran lost her “Miss’s temper” and sat to the side right away, without considering the situation.

“Be careful!” an alarmed voice cried suddenly.

A snake’s head appeared behind Bai Yanran, flying above the ground of fallen leaves, and the snake’s tail swiftly slipped out from under them, wrapping around Bai Yanran’s body. Bai Yanran was frightened into screaming hysterically, yet completely forgot to counterattack.

By the time she remembered to fight back, her hands and legs were all wrapped tightly in the snake’s coils and couldn’t move at all. The snake squeezed tighter, and Bai Yanran felt as if her internal organs had been squished together and the air consistently pressed out of her. She had to open her mouth to breathe.

The snake’s body was a golden yellow, the scales dazzling in the sunlight. It was a huge snake; its length was unknown, because there was still a long section of it concealed by the leaves.

The eyes of the snake were also golden, without the slightest impurity.

“Help! Help me…” Bai Yanran shouted to the crowd in a quivering voice. “What are you thinking about! Help me! Lord Seven, help!”

“Ah.” A crisp sound rang out from a distance. “Miss Xiao, why did you disturb the snake? It was soundly asleep.”

Everyone looked to the speaker at the same time.

Including that huge golden serpent.

The woman was standing slightly above them, on a stone. Her red robe floated in the air in a natural arc, making the white dress underneath appear extremely holy. She held an unknown fruit, staring at it interestedly with a perfect smile. The maid stood below, but the escort was nowhere to be seen.

Hearing Ming Shu’s words, Xiao Rufeng narrowed her eyes a bit, but her facial expression remained unchanged.

No wonder the fake female protagonist was worthy of being a killer. Probably, her calm was much stronger than a normal, real female protagonist.
