Chapter 874: Truly disgusted (1/2)

Where were the snakes?

Everyone looked at Han Yunxi, waiting for an answer. She was being supported by Long Feiye in one hand while the other covered her mouth. Her complexion was ashen white as if she’d throw up as soon as she opened her mouth. It was impossible for her to speak.

Long Feiye was the fastest one. He’d caught up to Han Yunxi and the poison guard before they even landed on the bottom. He had seen all the snakes crawling on the walls, so crowded that he couldn’t tell which head or tail belonged with which snake. All of them were entwined with each other, their heads raised up as they hissed. He almost threw up at the sight. Immediately after he noticed them, they sprang as one from the walls to attack Han Yunxi. The snakes at the bottom of the pit were releasing poisonous gas as well as the entire swarm targeted the girl. But all of that only lasted a second.

Before he could grab Han Yunxi from the poison guard’s hands, all of the snakes disappeared. By the time he protected her to land, not a single one was left. He couldn’t even scold her before she was dry heaving non-stop as soon as she touched ground. It was only now that she felt a bit better.

Seeing her so uncomfortable, he felt angry again, but suppressed his temper to ask, “Did you absorb them all into the poison storage space? What’s wrong?”

Han Yunxi wanted to reply, but she gagged as soon as she opened her mouth. She quickly waved her hand, indicating that they should leave. Seeing nobody budge, she grew anxious. “All of you leave, quickly! I can’t hold back! Hurry!”

As soon as she spoke, she vomited a mess onto the ground, but still didn’t stop waving at everyone else to get away.

“All of you wait above!” Long Feiye ordered coldly as he supported Han Yunxi and patted her back. Too many people here would only be a hindrance--he understood that very well. Xu Donglin and the poison guards didn’t dare disobey and left immediately, but Baili Yuanlong and his daughter stayed put.

“Your Highness, what just happened?” Baili Yuanlong asked urgently.

Han Yunxi tried her best to quell her nausea as she impatiently gestured for them to leave. She couldn’t speak, so she pushed Long Feiye aside to show that he should go, too.

“Your Highness, let’s go!” Baili Yuanlong said matter-of-factly. This was too dangerous and smelled strongly of a plot. Han Yunxi had even said she’d make him the vanguard. Who knew that things would develop into this mess? No matter what, it made sense to get away from this wretched place!

“The two of you, get out this instant!” Long Feiye raged.

Baili Mingxiang grabbed her father, but he shook her aside. “Your Highness, princess, let’s leave together. This isn’t a place where one should stay long!”

Han Yunxi was filled with rage as she shoved Long Feiye into Baili Yuanlong. “Long Feiye, leave! I don’t have time to explain!”

Long Feiye couldn’t do it…

Finally, Han Yunxi couldn’t take it anymore. She knitted her brows before something exploded behind her, raising a huge cloud of dust. Abruptly, she dropped to her knees and started vomiting nonstop.

It was truly too disgusting!

20,000 snakes and their queen had all been absorbed into her poison storage space and were slithering within its confines in a messy, teeming mass. Although they did no hard to the space, she couldn’t bear the sight of them, much less ignore their existence. Her mind was filled with snakes and nothing but snakes, all entwined together as they raised their countless heads. She felt like her body was covered in the creatures.

Heavens, ah!

If she bore this a second longer, she’d go mad! Although she’d made plenty of mental preparations, she never thought she’d be attacked but such a strong wave of disgust. This had to be the biggest failure in her professional career!

“Snake…!” Baili Mingxiang shrieked. As the dust cleared, it revealed a massive White-Lipped Krait behind Han Yunxi that was easily the height of three people. Beneath its towering form, the prone Han Yunxi looked extremely tiny.

Here was the queen of the snake den! It had a pair of wicked red eyes as it hissed at them. What was disgusting about the creature was all of the smaller poison snakes crawling up and down its body. Han Yunxi couldn’t take it anymore, so she’d expelled the snake queen and a portion of the serpents out first to ease the burden. This would give the detox system more time to change the remaining snakes in her mental space into medicinal ingredients and poison.

In any case, any snakes that tried to attack her would be automatically absorbed into the poison storage space. She just had to bear the nausea for a bit and let them in and out in turns until all of them were turned into ingredients. But Long Feiye and the rest would be in danger! Aside from the snakes, their poison gas was everywhere. Even the antidote would stop working after a while--or be too weak to stand up to such concentrated poison in the first place.

In any case, it was too troublesome with everyone here.
