She carefully pulled out the Feathered Arrow and inserted it into her quiver. After completing this task, she walked a little further and spotted some mushrooms. Crouching down to pick them, she remembered that when it came to mushroom foraging, the more beautiful ones were often the most poisonous. In contrast, those that looked misshapen or had insects crawling on them were usually safe to eat. Before she knew it, she had filled half her Backpack with mushrooms. Suddenly, a rustling sound came from the grass beneath her feet, startling Xia Muxin. She quickly picked up a stick that had been lying on the ground. Just as she was about to part the grass, she saw a Golden Python staring at her, flicking its tongue.
"Oh my gosh, it's a national first-class protected animal, a Python," Xia Muxin swallowed hard. The Python was about two meters long and incredibly thick, weighing at least thirty pounds. Its entire body was a treasure. While she felt excitement, it quickly faded; its mouth could swallow half of itself—could she even catch it?
The Python was coiled up but had some bloodstains and feathers nearby, indicating it had just eaten a wild chicken or some other bird. Now that it saw Xia Muxin, it slowly uncoiled itself, proudly flicking its head and neck as if it had spotted an exciting prey.
"Hey, I'm not your type, and we have no business with each other. If you mess with me, you might end up being the one who gets hurt," Xia Muxin said, her legs feeling weak as she nearly fell to the ground. Having lived two lives, this was her first encounter with such a large snake. Didn't people often post videos online of giant snakes swallowing live humans?
She wasn't afraid of dying; rather, being swallowed by such a snake would be embarrassing even if she were reborn. Besides, snakes were sentient creatures. She broke into a cold sweat and began negotiating with it.
"Sir?"
Not far away, Ming Yi crouched on a branch of a large tree, gripping a protruding branch tightly. His heart raced as he glanced at the calm yet focused Shen Muhan beside him and asked with concern.
This Golden Python was a treasure that his master had instructed him to guard for three years. It was said to be full of valuable components; the lady's health was poor, and the Imperial Physician had suggested using snake gallbladder for medicine. However, not only did it have to be a Python, but it also needed to be over twenty years old. He had been waking up early and sleeping late every day to feed it wild chickens and rabbits, and he was just about ready to take it back for use.
But what did this girl mean by all this?
Watching Shen Muhan's usual icy demeanor while also sweating for the girl made him anxious; the Golden Python had strong offensive capabilities. If things didn't go well and it attacked, this girl might really end up swallowed whole.
Yesterday, he secretly took action again... The more Ming Yi thought about it, the less he could understand his master's intentions. Was he trying to use the Golden Python to test this girl? That didn't seem reasonable at all.
"Stop overthinking or you'll end up in the mouth of the Golden Python," Shen Muhan said coldly, glancing at Ming Yi's troubled and intricate expression.
Ming Yi felt a chilling wind sweep past his ears, and his eyes flickered with guilt, making him dare not think wildly anymore.
Shen Muhan reined in his cold gaze, his thin lips pressed into a line as he quietly observed the scene below with one person and one snake.
The secret action taken yesterday was merely a punishment for Zhao Qiushui's arrogance. She even dared to block his carriage, truly audacious. If it weren't for just arriving in Zhushan and wanting to avoid bloodshed, that woman would have likely been torn apart by now.
