Chapter 148 (1/2)
Chapter 148 – Snakes and Scorpions Mountain
The situation was certainly strange. At their feet and sides, snakes were crawling yet not a single one attacked them, instead treating them as if they didn’t exist.
Without question, it was certainly the work of that unknown liquid Ning Xuemo had sprayed on them.
At this time, Number Two had incomparable admiration for Ning Xuemo.
Normal girls were afraid of snakes. He had once seen a psychokinesis genius who was a young lady scream herself hoarse, sounding like a pig being butchered when she saw a snake.
Now that they were in a snake nest, even he was scared to the point of paling and only managed to keep his legs from trembling by exerting tremendous self-control.
However, Ning Xuemo, this little girl, was at such ease despite being in the midst of a swarm of snakes. Her movements were light and easy, while her face didn’t even have a change in expression or colour. Even when a one-meter-long snake fell from a tree branch above them onto her neck, scaring Number Two into a cold sweat, Ning Xuemo didn’t even blink as she stood there ignoring the snake as it wound itself around her and onto the ground…
‘Which bastard said Marquis Ning’s daughter was weak and cowardly without a single merit?!’
‘Whoever said that was simply blind!’
From all that he witnessed on this journey with her, this girl was simply an all-round wonderful genius!
Smart, wise, brave and a careful planner. Not to mention, she had a mind far remote from the common people and resourceful!
She was not any worse than her father when he was alive. Whoever could marry her simply had luck accumulated through eight generations[1].
A pity that his prince didn’t have this kind of luck and had given up this outstanding girl…
And it was in this situation where there were a few scares but no real dangers that they made their way through the swarm of snakes. Although Number Two had been scared into breaking out in cold sweat, he still managed to hold on. Other than a pale white face, he was fine.
