Chapter 1177: Chapter 373 Kill that Scum_3

The little pink snake was quite clever; with the Red Python’s silent permission, its tail quickly wrapped around Mo Yan’s finger. Tilting its tiny head, it appraised her, adorably flicking its tongue as if to act cute.

The icy touch made all the hairs on Mo Yan’s body stand on end, yet the snake was too adorable, and it quickly made her relax. Unsure of what the little snake liked to eat, she fetched a small slice of fish from the Space.

The little pink snake showed no interest in the fish slice. Instead, its tiny head vigorously burrowed into Mo Yan’s palm where the Ancient Jade Mark was, as if something inside was luring it.

After giving it some thought, Mo Yan tried to extract a tiny drop of Spirit Spring Water from between her fingers. It wasn’t that she was stingy or reluctant to give more, but the Spiritual Energy in the Spirit Spring Water was more than the little pink snake could handle. Drinking this small drop could upset it so much that it might wish for death.

At the sight of the drop of Spirit Spring Water, the little pink snake’s eyes, no bigger than sesame seeds, suddenly brightened. It quickly swallowed the Spirit Spring Water and then kept licking its lips as if it hadn’t had enough. But in the next moment, it began to writhe in agony in Mo Yan’s palm, its tiny scales puffing up explosively layer by layer.

The other snakes, however, looked on with envy, their eyes filled with deep longing. That single drop of water would be enough to cleanse all the impurities from their bodies, make their venom purer and more potent in the future, and help them break through the physical constraints of their small bodies to grow a bit bigger.

If they could drink a few more times, they could not only extend their lifespans by several years but also develop Spiritual Wisdom. Like the Red Python, they would be able to absorb the Spiritual Energy from the mountains and become even more powerful.

Watching the little pink snake ceaselessly roll in her palm, Mo Yan did not dare to create more Spirit Spring Water for the other snakes to drink. After a good while, the little pink snake finally calmed down, and once it retracted its puffed scales, it appeared to have grown significantly thicker.

Seeing this, Mo Yan knew the little pink snake had pulled through. Noticing the other snakes gazing at her in unison, she couldn’t help but smile. Taking out a few drops of Spirit Spring Water of the same size as before, she fed each of them as a reward for their willingness to help.

After the snakes had absorbed the Spirit Spring Water and grown thicker one by one, they reluctantly bid farewell to Mo Yan. Finally, under the urging of the leading Owl, they had no choice but to wrap around the Owl’s legs and disappeared into the dark night sky with it.

Jinxiu Textile was a very famous textile workshop in Jing City, located in the bustling southern part of the city, spanning nearly thirty acres, employing nearly two hundred workers, and providing fabric for nearly half of the Cloth Shops in Jing City.

At this moment, Jinxiu Textile was brightly lit. Dozens of workers bustled back and forth in the courtyard, all busily engaged in their tasks. Various colorful dyes simmered in several large vats while the drying field was covered with freshly dyed fabric that fluttered in the breeze like clouds under the sunset.

A few workers took advantage of Manager’s snack time to stop their work and sneak under the eaves for a rest. They were the lowest-ranking workers, and apart from two meals a day, they would not expect any snacks.

"Hey, hey, listen, is that a child crying in the back?" a new worker elbowed another, more experienced one, asking nervously.

The older worker listened attentively for a moment then waved his hand casually as if there was nothing extraordinary and said, "You’ll often hear this kind of crying in the future; there’s nothing to make a fuss about."

The new worker was not a fool. Seeing that the others were indifferent, he knew that there was something he didn’t understand and hesitantly asked, "Older brother, why is that? Please tell me so I can avoid making mistakes and getting kicked out of here, or else my whole family would starve to death."

This was not a secret; witnessing the new worker’s pity, an old worker revealed the grim truth, "You’ve been here a few days, you must know about Fourth Master Shi, right? Yes, the little uncle of Manager Gou, he has a penchant for abusing children, both boys and girls. Look, some unfortunate girl has fallen into his hands again, alas, what a sin!"

Upon hearing this, the new worker sprang up, outraged, "How could this happen? Fourth Master Shi has sons and daughters of his own, how could he lay such hands on children? Is he the reincarnation of a beast? Why does nobody do anything?"

"Do something? How?" the old worker asked numbly in return. "He’s Manager Gou’s little uncle. Manager Gou covers the sky with one hand here. Who would dare to speak up? Tomorrow they’d be packing up and getting kicked out, or even unluckier, picked on by Manager Gou. They could lose a layer of skin before getting away. Hasn’t this happened before?"

"But, but we can’t just watch him harm people!" The new worker slumped to the ground, muttering. Hearing the piercing cries from the back courtyard, he lacked the courage to rush over and beat up Fourth Master Shi to save the innocent little girl.

"Sigh—" The old worker heaved a long sigh, patted the new worker’s shoulder, and said, "It’s the fate of those kids; they weren’t born into better circumstances and got sold by their families to end up in this situation. You’ve got a family to think of; you can’t just act recklessly and get yourself in trouble. Fourth Master Shi has lost his humanity, let God deal with him. As for you, just pretend you never saw, never heard."

The new worker, feeling grateful for the old worker’s advice, still couldn’t settle his mind. He buried his head in his knees as if that would allow him to deceive himself, to hear no sound, and to erase the presence of the little girl suffering indignities.

"What are you doing? Why are you all sitting here? Get back to work now or I’ll whip you," Manager Gou, having finished a satisfying late-night snack, walked back with a big belly and saw his workers chatting. Fire rose within him as he started to berate from a distance.

The workers, who had long known the might of Manager Gou, hurriedly stood up and ran toward their stations, fearing being caught and held a grudge against by arriving even a moment late.

"Stop, stop, I’m talking to you, you better stop right there," Manager Gou, seeing them run faster than rabbits, too lazy to chase after them, was about to sit under the eaves for a nap when he saw one run in front of him. He quickly charged forward with his portly belly to intercept, eager to establish his authority in front of the old hands.

"Manager Gou, please have mercy on me this time. I won’t dare again. Please," begged the man Manager Gou stopped, who was the new worker. He had been preoccupied and reacted a moment too late, and having been caught red-handed, he quickly pleaded for mercy, fearing to lose this job.

"Spare you? Humph, dream on!" Manager Gou intended to use the new worker to make an example, where would he spare him? He spat viciously at the new worker, picked up a mallet and struck the nearby gong, quickly gathering all the workers in the area.

Just as Manager Gou was about to whip the new worker in front of everyone and dock half a month’s wages, a thunderous scream from the back courtyard caused his hand to go limp, and the whip fell to the ground.

"Ah—Snake! There’s a snake, save me! Help, ah—"

Manager Gou’s face turned pale, and he yelled at the bewildered workers, "Why are you still standing there? Go to the back and kill that snake for me!" With that, he kicked the new worker out of his way and strode toward the back courtyard.

The workers dared not delay and quickly followed suit. The new worker staggered to his feet, limping after the rest. Seeing Manager Gou running like a whirlwind, he couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement, silently cursing Fourth Master Shi to be bitten to death by the snake, so he would no longer harm others.

Under Manager Gou’s lead, the workers rushed to the back courtyard residence of Fourth Master Shi in a "frantic" state. When the door was kicked open by an impatient Manager Gou, everyone got a clear view of the situation inside the room, and they were all stunned...
