  "Golden ring snake? Is this also considered a rare beast? It seems that we have golden ring snakes on our earth too, and which snake isn't soft like it doesn't have bones. And what's with having an extraordinary sense of danger, this isn't anything special either, many wild animals have some precognitive abilities when it comes to danger, such as before earthquakes, dogs barking, chickens jumping, mice moving houses etc!" Looking at his first third-level pet, He Dong was full of disappointment.

  Although somewhat dissatisfied, He Dong still summoned the golden ring snake from the poker card. However, when he really saw the object, He Dong was stunned on the spot.

  This golden ring snake is a world of difference from the golden ring snakes on Earth, which have black and yellow stripes on their bodies. The golden ring snake in front of me, however, has a uniform golden color all over its body, just like gold.

  Moreover, this golden ring snake is extremely small and thin, about the same thickness as a chopstick. Most importantly, when it appears, its mouth bites its tail, and its entire body forms a circle, suddenly looking like a golden bangle.

  "Hmm, indeed it's soft and weak, just like a noodle." He Dong gently pressed the golden ring snake with his hand, then grasped the whole snake in his hand, even pinching its head, feeling that it was truly weak and boneless.

  "But what's the use of this thing? Am I supposed to wear it as a bracelet?" He Dong smiled wryly and casually slipped the coiled golden ring onto his wrist.

  "Not bad, it's cool. Forget it, let's just wear it as a bracelet, this is also a good way to reuse waste!" After the golden ring snake was put on his wrist, He Dong looked at it and finally resigned himself to it.

  The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. Due to the golden ring snake's reason, He Dong's mood was not good all day long. Even when meeting with Lin Xuan, he was somewhat down in spirit.

  "Dongdong, is there something on your mind?" It's said that women are extremely sensitive, especially those in love. So Lin Xuan felt He Dong's low mood at the first moment.

  "Nothing, just some minor issues at work, all handled. " He Dong didn't want to dwell on the topic and immediately smiled and asked Lin Xuan, "Wife, what's for dinner today?"

  "Pfft! Who's your wife? You're just my temporary boyfriend now!" Lin Xuan said with a blush.

  "Hmph, you're destined to be my wife, and you can't escape this lifetime! Moreover, in the next life, the life after that, and the life after that, you'll still be my wife." He Dong said domineeringly as he wrapped Lin Xuan in his arms.

  "Awesome!" Lin Xuan playfully slapped He Dong, then leaned into his chest with a faint blush and whispered "Dongdong! Summer vacation is almost here!"

  "I'll think of you every day!" Lin Xuan's words made He Dong's mood a little more downcast. Since Lin Xuan wasn't a local, the winter break meant that they wouldn't see each other for at least a month.

  "I don't want to part with you!" Lin Xuan said softly.

  A short five-word phrase directly struck He Dong's heart, giving him a strange impulse. He gently lifted Lin Xiang's delicate chin and kissed her.

  After sending Lin Xuan back to the dormitory, He Dong's gloominess finally disappeared, savoring the sweetness of that fluid and the palpitations when his tongue touched hers, He Dong's face bloomed with a smile.

  Since buying the villa, He Dong rarely returned to his dormitory. He also enjoyed the feeling of running and jumping freely in the dark night. So, after leaving the school gate, he accelerated directly and ran towards the direction of the villa.

  Humans are absolutely weird creatures, when they're in a bad mood, they need to vent, and when they're too happy, they also need to vent. As He Dong runs, he feels more and more excited, more and more comfortable. If this weren't a city area with people everywhere, He Dong would even want to throw his head back and let out a few loud whoops.

  "What's going on?" However, just as He Dong ran to the woods where he last tried out his water ball technique, a very frightening feeling suddenly made him stop in his tracks.

  This feeling of fear appeared suddenly and mysteriously, as if He Dong felt that there was a huge danger waiting for him in front of him.

  "Is there a killing intent? Is there hostility?" He Dong quietly savored the feeling that had just appeared, and then was shocked to discover that the information he felt was even more detailed.

  "This is...? Ah! Could it be it!" He Dong suddenly lowered his head to look at his wrist, because he suddenly thought of the golden ring snake that seemed useless just this morning.

  "This golden ring snake's special ability is its extraordinary perception of danger! Does it feel that someone in front will be unfavorable to me?" He Dong boldly speculated.

  But guessing is always just guessing, so He Dong calmed himself down and muttered a sentence "Super Defense" in his heart, then lowered his head and walked towards the direction where the killing intent came from under the cover of night.

  After using the super defense, He Dong's body turned golden yellow, but the light here was very dim, and with He Dong lowering his head, it wasn't easy to notice anything unusual if one didn't look carefully.

  As He Dong advanced, the killing intent and hostility grew thicker, and in this process, He Dong also carefully sensed the changes in the Golden Ring Snake.

  As expected, after the golden ring snake recognized its master and communicated with He Dong's mind, He Dong finally discovered that this extraordinary sense of danger was indeed transmitted to him by the golden ring snake. Now He Dong only needed to confirm that there was indeed danger ahead, and all the mysteries would be solved.

  He Dong walked on a small path, which was not crowded during the day, and at night there were no shadows of people. He Dong pretended not to notice and continued walking with his head down.

  "Ten meters, nine meters... five meters, four meters, three meters, two meters..." He Dong muttered to himself with that strange intuition.

  "One meter! It's just the right time!" As he muttered to himself, He Dong suddenly saw a figure darting out of the nearby woods at incredible speed. Before he could even react, he felt something sharp slash across his neck, but thanks to his super defense, He Dong didn't feel any pain and continued to gaze calmly at the dark silhouette.

  "Huh? How can you be fine?" The black shadow couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, as its own finishing blow had no effect whatsoever.

  "Huh? It's a girl?" Hearing the other person's voice, He Dong was surprised this time.
