Ming Yi was still lamenting when she suddenly felt a chilling breeze above her head. She lifted her gaze and saw her master’s beautiful eyes cold enough to shoot ice arrows, causing her to shiver and kneel on the ground with a long face.
Shen Muhan did not speak. After a moment, he retracted his Cold Eyes and leaned against the tree branch behind him, a flicker of complexity flashing in his gaze. He was puzzled by his earlier actions and, after a long while, closed his eyes as if pretending to doze off.
“Alright, alright, I can’t carry any more. I can’t take it back either.” Meanwhile, Xia Muxin stared in disbelief at the game meat being tossed her way—mostly wild chickens and rabbits, along with a few Bamboo Rats. She had already filled her Backpack to the brim, and there were still over a dozen more on the ground. Watching the Golden Python busily working, she quickly raised her voice to call it to a halt.
The Golden Python was very obedient; it appeared before her in no time, still holding something in its mouth. Xia Muxin took a closer look—it wasn’t a wild chicken or rabbit but something much smaller that had just grown its fur. She facepalmed in exasperation.
“Do you want to come back with me or stay here? There are wolves and leopards over there.” While she sighed, she accepted reality; at worst, she could raise these little ones if she saved them. Perhaps she could cultivate more of this kind in the future. As she cut some Thatched Grass with her Machete and twisted some Grass Rope, she asked.
The Golden Python dropped the small creature on the ground and then rubbed against Xia Muxin before slithering back into the thicket.
Her former master had said not to approach the residents' homes, besides, it liked its freedom.
Xia Muxin finished twisting the Grass Rope and watched as its figure slowly disappeared. She sincerely said thank you before tying up the Game Meat on the ground with the Grass Rope. She slung her Backpack over her shoulder and dragged the Game Meat homeward.
At that moment, the entrance of Xia Family's Thatched Cottage was crowded with people; nearly hundreds from the village had gathered. Hearing that Xia Muxin had been possessed and caught the Serpent God, everyone was quite astonished—partly out of curiosity and partly out of concern about what the Wang and Zhou families would do to Xia Muxin. They stood at the entrance of the Thatched Cottage, watching.
Summer Forest, Xia Tieshu, and Aunt Xia were tied up with hemp ropes and were currently being beaten by Liu Mazi at their own doorstep. With each strike, he shouted angrily:
“Summer Forest, I told you that none of your family is normal—either blind or crippled. Living is just a waste of food! If you’re sensible, hurry up and bring that wretched girl Xia Muxin out; otherwise, you’ll regret it later.”
Along the way, Tang Sanwan boasted about capturing the Serpent God and injuring You Clan Mother and Daughter, making it sound almost mythical. Zhou Guilian, with tears streaming down her face, ran to the Wang family. The sight of such a beautiful girl being bullied stirred feelings even in the eldest son, a big man like him.
"I say, Liu Mazi, did I dig up your ancestor's grave or something? You come looking for trouble every few days. Is my family's business not enough for you? Besides, my father's reputation is built by people; can a dog bark at it?"
Xia Muxin dragged her belongings back, panting heavily. On her way, she bumped into Songzi, who was sneaking out to find her. Xia Muxin briefly explained the situation and insisted that she hide, but Xia Muxin was determined and rushed home as fast as she could.
Just as she reached the door, she heard Liu Mazi shouting while hitting her family. Anger surged within her; she dropped the Grass Rope in her hand, placed her hands on her hips, and began to scold him.
