Chapter 343: Chapter 343: If You Encounter This Again, Don’t Scream Randomly
The waitress finally steadied the tray, holding the bottle of red wine, and quickly followed inside.
As soon as they passed through the Mysterious Gate, Shen Cheng reached out to turn on the wall switch.
The crystal chandelier lit up, casting a bright yellow light that illuminated the vast room.
"Ah! A snake!"
The waitress walking behind Shen Cheng spotted the snake curled up on the floor beside the bed as soon as she entered.
She was immediately shocked and, with a tremble of her hand, the tray of red wine fell once again.
Accompanied by her scream, a crisp sound echoed as well.
Crash!
The red wine hit the ground, shattering to pieces.
The red liquid splattered everywhere, some even reaching the white bedsheet, creating an especially eerie sight.
Seemingly startled by this commotion, the snake on the floor beside the bed suddenly became much more alert!
It hissed, its eyes showing a ferocious light.
Its tongue served as its sensor, used to detect the surroundings.
When Shen Cheng saw the snake, she remained as composed and unruffled as ever.
Her gaze shifted slightly, landing on the corner outside the bathroom.
Mo Qingxin leaned against the wall, her hands pressed firmly against it, her body trembling slightly.
Looking at the snake on the floor, her face was as white as paper.
Seemingly in great shock, she remained motionless, not even reacting to someone entering her room.
Shen Cheng raised her eyebrows slightly.
Clearly, she hadn’t expected Mo Qingxin to show such a vulnerable side.
"Mi—Miss Mo..."
The waitress intended to ask if Mo Qingxin was alright after seeing her condition.
But the snake suddenly sprang up, making an aggressive move toward her.
Hiss—
As the snake flicked its tongue, the waitress actually fainted on the spot.
Falling down, she hit the puddle of red wine on the floor, and shards of the wine bottle cut several gashes in her hand.
Before they came in, the snake’s target of attack was Mo Qingxin.
But now, it had shifted its focus.
Just as the waitress fainted, the snake violently lunged towards Shen Cheng.
Seeing the snake attack her, Shen Cheng quickly retreated two steps and bent down to pick up a shard of the wine bottle.
When the snake was only half a meter away from her, she raised her hand and threw the shard.
The sharp corner of the shard penetrated the snake’s body as she threw it.
Watching the snake writhe on the ground, Shen Cheng turned her head towards Mo Qingxin with evident displeasure: "Call someone to deal with this!"
Her voice wasn’t very loud, but it was enough to bring Mo Qingxin back to her senses.
Mo Qingxin, frowning deeply, still took out her phone to make a call: "Come to my room immediately."
Shen Cheng cast a cool glance at her, speaking unhurriedly: "It’s just a snake, it doesn’t eat people."
After speaking, she flashed a faint smile and turned to leave.
As she walked away, Mo Qingxin called out to her in time: "Miss Shen, wait a moment."
Shen Cheng paused her stride and looked back, "Hmm?"
Mo Qingxin looked at her, silent for a few seconds before her luscious red lips parted lightly, "Thank you for what you did today."
Upon hearing this, Shen Cheng’s laugh broadened: "Next time you encounter such a situation, don’t scream in panic, and definitely don’t make it sound so... orgasmic, as others might mistake it for someone engaging in sexual sadomasochism."
Having said that, she left the room without looking back.
Mo Qingxin stood still, her expression turning complicated, and the next moment, she furrowed her brows.
Her delicate fingers tightened around her phone with so much force it seemed it could be crushed.
The fleeting look that passed through her eyes was chilling and daunting.
