Chapter 169: Chapter 167: Teased by a Snake

Xiao’er calmed down and looked around at the many stones on the ground, but she couldn’t find the space stone.

"Where’s the space stone?" Xiao’er asked Bai Tian.

"It’s under that snake’s butt."

Damn! What a miserly snake! Isn’t it uncomfortable sitting on it! How can I get that space stone now!

Shangguan Xuanhao saw the numerous rare herbs and, apart from keeping an eye on the golden python, he had no time for anything else and he carefully began to dig with a small shovel.

But with the first thrust of the shovel, the golden python moved. It was hard to understand how such a massive creature could control its own body so effortlessly. In the blink of an eye, the python’s tail was whipping through the air, knocking Shangguan Xuanhao flat on his face into the mud.

Shangguan Xuanhao got up, spat the dirt out of his mouth, and couldn’t help but curse, "Damn it! Murderer!"

Xiao’er was a bit dumbfounded. The python’s strength was quite formidable, easily knocking him down with a simple swipe.

The python quickly scattered, its body unfurling.

Shangguan Xuanyi pulled Xiao’er behind him, "Find an opportunity later to get down the mountain!"

Both Shangguan Xuanhao and Shangguan Xuanyi quickly raised their swords and stabbed at the golden python.

The snake whipped its tail again; they didn’t even have time to dodge before the swords in their hands fell to the ground.

"Brother Shangguan, catch the sword!"

The sword that Shangguan Xuanyi dropped was closer to Xiao’er. She quickly ran over to pick it up and, with a quick flick of her wrist, threw it back to Shangguan Xuanyi.

Shangguan Xuanhao was not so lucky. He rolled on the ground, trying to retrieve his sword, but the snake’s tail came at him like a shovel, flipping him into the air, and then tossing him around like a ball.

"Damn! What did I do to deserve this? Are you playing with me?!" Shangguan Xuanhao found that he was unable to control his body to escape this embarrassing situation, so he could not help but curse it out.

Xiao’er and Shangguan Xuanyi exchanged glances. Did it feel like the snake was just toying with them?

If the situation was different, they would find it quite hilarious.

Regardless, they had to save Shangguan Xuanhao.

Xiao’er had a long whip, she took it out and with a flick of her wrist, she wrapped it around Shangguan Xuanhao’s waist and with a yank, he was finally pulled away from the snake.

Shangguan Xuanyi came forward to catch him.

Once Shangguan Xuanhao was back safely on the ground, he felt immense gratitude: that’s what you call a real brother and sister-in-law!

Then Xiao’er aimed at the snake’s "vitals" and shot her little knife out.

Suddenly, the python’s body shrank in an instant. With a "poof", Xiao’er felt something cold wrapped around her wrist. If she didn’t know any better, she would have thought she’d just put on a gold bracelet.

"Ah!" Xiao’er let out the loudest scream of her life, frantically shaking her hand, but she couldn’t shake it off.

What kind of creature could change its form?!

Shangguan Xuanyi quickly reached out to grab the snake, even if it meant drawing it onto his own hand!

"Don’t be afraid, master. The snake won’t hurt you." Seeing Xiao’er so frightened, Bai Tian felt that their play had gone too far and quickly spoke up.

"Master, put it in your space!" Tian Bai quickly opened his mouth and gave the most constructive advice.

Upon hearing his words, Xiao’er quickly calmed down and put the snake into the freezer in her space.

She must have been so frightened that she forgot about her unique skills!

Geese: How much do you hate Xiao Jin, master? You just froze him right up!

Shangguan Xuanyi reached out his hand, but he only found Xiao’er’s wrist. Where was the snake?

Shangguan Xuanyi carefully checked Xiao’er from top to bottom, left and right, front and back, only when he found that the snake was not entangled with Xiao’er did he relax.

Regaining her senses, Xiao’er remembered what the two geese said and said in her heart, "I will settle the score with you later! You’re itching for a beating!"

"Where did the snake go?" Shangguan Xuanyi asked Shangguan Xuanhao.

"How should I know, it’s like a disappearing ghost! It moves so fast it’s like a ghost!" Although he said this, he began to watch his surroundings carefully.

Although they were being vigilant, they were no match for the snake’s speed.

"Let’s just dig for the herbs!" Xiao’er walked up to a vivid red flower and began to dig with her shovel.

"Indeed!" Shangguan Xuanhao agreed deeply: "Why should we bother with it, that thing is so stingy! As soon as I move my shovel, it made me eat shit! Now that three of us are digging, it will surely roll out!"

"Fourth Prince, you were eating shit just now!" Xiao’er burst out laughing as she spoke.

"How can you act like that!" Shangguan Xuanhao froze in his tracks and then with a face full of constipation and grievance, he said: "That’s not the point, okay? And why are you so mean! You knew I said it wrong, you could just remind me, I’m already pitiful enough, and you’re still mocking me!"

"I am reminding you! If I didn’t remind you, how would you remember that you just called yourself a dog eating shit? This is good intentions being met with bad returns!" Xiao’er’s face was even more aggrieved than his.

Shangguan Xuanhao’s face was as black as ink from a squid. It’s really difficult to communicate with women and the petty! He won’t converse with her anymore!

"Shangguan Xuanyi! Can’t you discipline her a bit! You should pretend you didn’t hear things like this! She really doesn’t understand the ways of the world! I can envision so much trouble in the future!"

"Don’t worry, I’ll shoulder any troubles that come our way." Shangguan Xuanyi was gracefully digging up an unidentified plant, and responded in a calm and composed manner.

Shangguan Xuanhao almost choked on this sentence. What really are a pair of mad people! "I won’t talk to you guys!"

While digging for herbs, Xiao’er discreetly put the space stone into her space.

Having heard Shangguan Xuanhao’s words, she deliberated moved closer to him to ask, "Fourth Prince, did you just say you felt quite pitiful because you were teased by that snake?"

"Who was teased by the snake, that was just fun!" Not right, teasing and mocking mean pretty much the same thing, "It was just joking around!"

"Right, the snake was joking with you!" Xiao’er nodded. Then in a suggestive manner, she added with a smirk toward Shangguan Xuanhao that seemed say: You don’t need to explain, I understand, I totally get it.

"What kind of face are you making?" Shangguan Xuanhao was infuriated and fell backward.

"Whatever you think my expression is, that’s what it is. Don’t worry, I won’t speak of it outside the Imperial City." Xiao’er raised her hand as if to swear an oath, assuring him.

Does not spreading the news outside the Imperial City mean that she will blabber about it inside the Imperial City?

What kind of character is she?!

"I am not talking to you!" Shangguan Xuanhao vowed decisively.

"That’s because you can’t win an argument against me!"

This woman!

So infuriated, Shangguan Xuanhao wielded his shovel with such force that he split a hundred-year-old ginseng plant right in half.

"You...how could you...!"

He won’t stoop to the level of bickering with a young girl. Otherwise, the one who would end up galled would be himself. Shangguan Xuanhao took a deep breath, turned his head away, and determinedly stayed quiet.

"Girl, come help me." Shangguan Xuanyi felt that his Fourth Brother was too foolish and he couldn’t stand it anymore.

Xiao’er gave a wry smile, graciously giving him a breather, and ran over.

Then, the three of them resumed their earnest herb picking.

"Strange, why hasn’t the snake emerged again?" Shangguan Xuanhao who had only half dug the ground, remembered suddenly.

Xiao’er kept silent, letting them use their imagination.

As the saying goes, loose lips get one into trouble!
