Just as it was about to slither closer, Yan Jiao quickly stopped it. âDonât come over! Donât come near me!â
âMiss, Iâm Xiao Cuiâ¦â
The tender voice of a child rang out again, but this time it was tinged with a sense of grievance.
Xiao Cui?
Thatâs right. since they were all living in the same place, why would Xiao Cui not be able to change into her original form if Sister Yu could?
âIâm sorry, Xiao Cui, I didnât know it was you.â Yan Jiao thought of what she had just done and hurriedly explained, âI thought it was⦠another snake that was going to attack me!â
Xiao Cui had just protected her, but Yan Jiao was shocked and screaming at Xiao Cui. It was cruel of her to do that.
As if she was trying to make up for it, Yan Jiao bent down and picked up Xiao Cui, who was curled up by her feet. âXiao Cui, how did you become like this? â
âShe was hit by a feather while trying to protect you, but she should be fine.â Xiao Fen, who had been frightened, ran over and explained to Yan Jiao.
Yan Jiao looked at little pink in front of her. she no longer liked her cute appearance. although she knew that little pink wanted to protect her, she was not as determined as little cui. she only called out to little pink.
Only Xiao Cui had moved to protect her when she was in danger. When she thought of that, Yan Jiao suddenly felt that the little snake in her arms was extremely cute.
âThen how did she change back to her original form? Didnât Yu Si say that she was a non-venomous snake?â
âYu Si is indeed a non-venomous snake, but her poison is harmless only to humans. It doesnât mean itâs useless to her own kind.â Sister Shi also came over at this time, and together with Xiao Fen, they looked at Xiao Cui in Yan Jiaoâs arms.
Although Yan Jiao knew that Sister Shi harbored ill intentions toward her, she could not reveal it now that the other party had yet to shed all pretenses of cordiality. After all, no one could protect her from Sister Shiâs attacks.
Yan Jiao knew the severity of the matter and chose to endure it. However, she became more guarded against Sister Shi.
As for Xiao Fen, Yan Jiao could still trust her, but she could not let her guard down either.
âXiao Cui was hit by Yu Siâs snake venom, will she be fine?â Yan Jiao felt extremely guilty when she thought about how Xiao Cui had been injured while protecting her. She looked at Xiao Cui apologetically.
âMiss, Xiao Cui will be fine. Although the venom in the feather is effective against snakes, itâs not fatal. In addition, Xiao Cui is a venomous snake, so Xiao Cui can filter out the venom in the feather. Itâs just that⦠â Sister Shi stopped talking and looked at Xiao Cui, no longer speaking.
âWhat is it?â When she heard that Xiao Cuiâs life was not in danger, Yan Jiao heaved a sigh of relief. However, Sister Shiâs words made her nervous again.
âIt will only last a few days, so we shouldnât make young miss worry anymore.â
While Yan Jiaoâs attention was on Xiao Cui, Sister Shi took the opportunity to place her hands behind her back. She gestured for Yu Si, who was standing there and admitting her mistake, to leave, then placed her hands by her sides again.
âMiss, Iâm fine.â
Hearing Xiao Cuiâs words, Yan Jiaoâs heart finally relaxed. Thinking of the person who started this, Yan Jiao quickly looked up, but found that the other party had long disappeared.
Xiao Fen followed Yan Jiaoâs line of sight and saw that Yu Si had disappeared. She knew what her actions meant.
âDonât worry, miss. Yu Si wonât attack you again. She should be thinking about how to escape from the Snake Palace to survive. She was too impulsive in attacking you⦠â
âImpulsive? Youâre saying that she attacked me on impulse?â Yan Jiao was already a little angry, and when she heard Xiao Fenâs words, she became even angrier.
âNo, miss, I didnât mean it that wayâ¦â
Yan Jiao did not pay any more attention to Xiao Fen. She knew that they all looked down on her. To them, Yan Jiao was just a laughable ant-like existence.
Xiao Fen wanted to explain further, but Yan Jiao did not want to bother with her anymore.
Seeing Yan Jiaoâs reaction, Xiao Fen tactfully stood to the side and no longer spoke.
Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Xiao Cui, who was resting in Yan Jiaoâs arms, broke the tension.
âMiss, this venom is useless against us snakes, but I will fall into a death-like for a short time. Donât worry, this is a particular to us snakes. When we encounter danger, our survival instincts start kicking in. Xiao Cui will be fine after some sleep.â
