“If you are willing to be my pet, I won't sell you, but you must listen to me.”
Xia Muxin had initially just wanted to get some money quickly, but with today’s events and the return of the Zhou brothers along with the Wu Family, her family’s situation would undoubtedly become difficult. She thought for a moment that it might be better to tame this Golden Python; at least it could intimidate those people until she became stronger, preventing her family from being bullied day in and day out.
However, the Golden Python was not human, and having grown accustomed to freedom in the mountains, it was bound to be wild. She couldn't guarantee that she could tame it, so when she asked this question, she felt somewhat anxious. At that moment, she stared intently at it, afraid of missing even the slightest change in its eyes.
Moreover, Xia Muxin had grown up in the mountains and had heard many tales about snakes. The most common one was that they were very spiritual; as long as you didn’t provoke them, they wouldn’t harm you. This Golden Python was likely older than her and might even have reached a level of enlightenment.
Regardless of whether these tales were true or not, if this snake could truly submit to her, it would be a tremendous joy for the entire Xia Family.
After a while, the Golden Python seemed to understand Xia Muxin's words. Its eyes brightened as it extended its tongue to lick her hand, seemingly submitting.
“Good. Seeing that you are not an ordinary creature, once you agree, you cannot go back on your word. Otherwise, I will sun-dry you into jerky.” Xia Muxin's eyes curved into a smile like the moon in the sky as she coldly threatened it. After saying this, she raised an eyebrow and locked eyes with the Golden Python.
The Golden Python lazily squinted its eyes and obediently extended its tongue to lick her hand again.
Seeing its flippant action, Xia Muxin pouted and complained, “You must be a male; otherwise, why would you be so lewd?” As she spoke, she wiped away the sticky saliva from her hand with disdain.
At the same time, she reached out to untie the Grass Rope binding the Golden Python.
“Muxin, don’t! It will bring great disaster!” Summer Forest saw his daughter trying to untie the Grass Rope from the Golden Python and was instantly terrified. He waved his hands helplessly while urging Xia Muxin not to proceed.
Xia Muxin moved quickly, deftly untying the Grass Rope in just a few moments. Deep down, she understood her father's concerns and immediately waved her hand, saying, "Father, don't worry." With a sense of pride, she patted the back of the Golden Python and continued, "From now on, it will be a member of our family. Anyone who dares to look down on it will have to answer to me. I’ll make sure it comes in whole and leaves with its limbs intact."
At that moment, Zhou Guilian's mind cleared up considerably. Shaking her head, which still throbbed painfully, she stood up with the support of You Shi. Her bloodshot eyes fixed on Zhaoxia Muxin as she contemplated visiting her sister later that afternoon. This summer visitor could not remain in Daimiao Village; if they didn't sell her to the Red Chamber, she would have to be sold to another village, and the buyer had to be an old man.
However, before she could finish her calculations, a massive golden snake slid off the peculiar cart, startling her so much that her legs trembled uncontrollably.
"Gui Lian, what's wrong? Why are you gripping your mother's hand like that? You're hurting me!" You Shi was wiping the blood from her forehead with a handkerchief when a sudden sharp pain shot through her arm. She frowned in confusion, unable to comprehend what was happening.
