Volume 3: Prosperous World Smoke and Flowers, Flowing Years of Tenderness 049 Shocking Heart and Soul
The sound of rain pattering, had just started, Ruan Qincen's long sleeve fluttered, with a speed like that of a ghost, arrived by her side.
When Ruan Qincheng saw the red flash on the beam in the house, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she stretched out her hand to shield Tingyu behind her. Those were snakes!
Women are naturally afraid of these limbless, soft-boned crawling creatures. Linyu is no exception, no wonder she was scared to the point of being pale!
Xing Xue grasped the hilt of her sword and walked to Ruan Qincheng's side. Compared to Ting Yu's panic, she was slightly calmer, her face pale, but she didn't scream out loud.
Following her gaze upwards, I saw the poisonous snakes entwined together on the beam. The snakes were all bright red and curled up like vines. The snow-white silk curtains hung down like a waterfall, covering the shadows of the snakes.
If you don't look carefully, you won't be able to discover this deadly danger. Ting Yu's eyes are different from ordinary people, her vision has been extremely good since childhood, and she can see the surrounding scenery clearly even at night. Therefore, as soon as she stepped into the house, she noticed the snake shadow on the beam, her heart chilled for half a moment, and she let out a sharp cry.
"Hiss——"
The snakes suddenly became agitated as they sensed the warmth and movement of the human body.
One by one, the venomous snakes came rushing towards Ruan Qincheng and his two companions like they had taken stimulants. It was unknown where these snakes came from, but their numbers were frightening. In just a short moment, the house was surrounded, with no way to escape.
"Poison—Snake—Red Practice!"
Ting Yu's body trembled even more violently, fortunately Ruan Qincheng was holding her hand, giving her the courage to stand upright. The red snake's venom is extremely potent, if bitten, one's life would be in grave danger!
A small red snake is enough to poison a big man.
What's more, this surging tide of snakes, each venomous serpent as thick as an arm!
Heaven knows how deadly these venomous snakes are!
"Red lotus fire poison, fatal and soul-shattering!"
Ting Xue's face turned even paler, her teeth biting into her red lips, cold sweat dripping down from her forehead. This Ting Lan Garden was already located in a remote area, not even a single servant was present, there was no one who could come to rescue them.
"Listening to the snow, listening to the rain, do you have any cinnabar powder on your bodies?"
Ruan Qincen calmly opened her mouth, and those two dark night pupils that captured people's hearts were still as calm as lake water. The clear spring-like voice had a magical power to calm people's minds, making their panicked and frightened hearts gradually calm down. Two pairs of bright eyes stared straight at her, filled with trust and hope.
"Little miss, we don't have any cinnabar powder on us, it's in the medicine box by the bed!"
Xue took a deep breath and said anxiously, "What should they do now? Even if the young lady is very capable, she can't defeat this terrifying siege of snakes. Are they really doomed to die?"
"Hiss... Hiss..."
In the air, a pungent smell of blood filled the nostrils, and pairs of icy snake eyes were full of bloodthirsty chill.
"Ah - Miss, they're coming!"
Listening to the rain, trembling with sound, fingers pointing at the rapidly approaching snake group, a small face like golden paper. The red practice poisonous snake is a very vengeful creature, if one kills a poisonous snake, it will inevitably lead to an attack by the snake group. If they don't kill these poisonous snakes, then they would die in the belly of the poisonous snakes.
Ruan Qincheng's hand grasped the sleeve of her arm, and a hint of vigilance flashed across her eyes. It seemed that she hadn't even made a move, yet the other party was already unable to restrain themselves! This momentum was enough to put her in a desperate situation!
"Whoosh——"
One by one, the red-striped venomous snakes flew in with their heads held high, like dense rain threads, sweeping in with the momentum of a storm.
Xue and Yu simultaneously drew out the swords at their waists, exchanging a glance with each other, their gazes equally resolute. The fear in their hearts had reached its peak, but suddenly it didn't seem so terrifying anymore. Because in their hearts, there was a conviction that could support them in surpassing their inner fears.
Even if they die, they will protect Miss and leave!
"We're going to get realgar powder!"
Ruan Qincen's moving voice, clear and crisp, made Listening Snow and Listening Rain pause for a moment, and then they saw a scene that left them stunned.
Only to see, Ruan Qinchun's mouth corners slightly upturned, her slender hand lifted, and the crystal silk threads wrapped around her wrist suddenly flew out. The silk threads spread out like smoke and fog, swirling around them in a whirlpool-like motion, opening up layer upon layer of ripples. Her water sleeves danced lightly, fluttering and spinning, her jade-like feet barely touching the ground, and her delicate, beautiful body also floated several inches off the ground.
Her movements are extremely beautiful, as if she is standing on the top of a cliff, jumping up and dancing in the nine heavens. Slender jade hands, raising the hems of her skirt, flying scattered, the picture is so beautiful that it's breathtaking!
That piece of lotus silk was extremely thin, but it somehow managed to block the snakes' attack, not a single drop of water leaked through.
Wherever Ling Xian went, the snakes were shocked by the power on her body, but they did not die. The exquisite control made Ting Xue and Ting Yu shocked. Their miss was hidden deeply! However, Miss's power was limited, and she might not last long. They had to hurry up to get the Huangjin powder.
With the help of the Liang Ya, the three of them quickly arrived at the bedside. However, just as they were about to reach for the medicine box, the snakes' attack suddenly became fierce and intense.
"Listen to the snow, break open the medicine box!"
Ruan Qincheng felt that the Red Practice Snake was going all out, and immediately shouted in a low voice.
"Yes, miss!"
Xue's hand flashed with sword light as he struck towards the medicine box.
"Crack——"
The medicine box was broken in half, revealing its contents.
"Miss, there's no realgar powder inside! There's just a snake egg!"
The snowflakes on her lips trembled slightly, and the hope in her heart instantly turned into nothingness.
Ruan Qincheng's complexion also changed slightly, his eyes carrying a chill as he gazed at the snake egg lying in the medicine box. Xue's sword had only broken open the box, but hadn't shattered the snake egg. It seemed that the reason so many red vipers were gathered here was because of this very snake egg!
"Miss, hurry up! Xiaoyu and I will clear the way for you!"
Xue said with a resolute tone, his hand tightly grasping the hilt of his sword.
"Miss, with your strength, you can definitely escape! Don't worry about us!"
Her nose slightly sour from the rain, she also tightened her grip on the long sword in her hand. If not for worrying that they would be bitten and injured, Miss would have escaped a long time ago. Judging from Miss's just-displayed strength, these red-practicing poisonous snakes can't stop her at all!
Ruan Qinchendepthly looked at them, her lips moved slightly, and her clear and crisp voice fell clearly.
"I won't abandon any of you! If we leave, we'll leave together!"
Her words echoed in both of their minds like thunder.
"Alright, let's go together!"
In an instant, both Ting Xue and Ting Yu's eyes welled up with tears, and they couldn't help but let them flow.
Since Miss won't leave, then they'll fight their way out together!
There are such young ladies, how fortunate they are!
