"Everyone search quickly…!"
Upon hearing Wan Yunting say that something was placed in the living room, attracting so many snakes, Ouyang Zhixin and Ouyang Zhihui immediately instructed Ouyang Xiuxian and the others to search the living room thoroughly. They began to search the reception hall. Wan Yunting looked up at the high wooden structure of the ceiling beam and his keen sense of smell detected a very peculiar fishy odor.
Wan Yunting leaped, soaring more than four meters high. He grabbed a beam with his large hand and, with a surge of strength, landed on the beam, leaving the people below stunned. This beam was more than six meters above the ground, and he had reached it just like that…
Wan Yunting frowned. He saw a black package placed on the beam ahead, emitting a special fishy scent that only snakes could detect!
Wan Yunting could also smell this scent. He walked over and examined the dark package wrapped in cloth. He detected some medicinal herbs and a special aroma that even he couldn't identify.
"Do you have gloves? Give me a glove."
Wan Yunting didn't know if it was poisonous, so he decided to be cautious. The people below quickly found a glove and threw it to him. After putting it on, Wan Yunting grabbed the dark package and leaped, landing steadily on the ground. His mother, startled, moved to help him, but Wan Yunting waved her off and smiled, "I'm fine…"
However, everyone's attention was drawn to the dark object in Wan Yunting's left hand. Ouyang Zhihui asked, "Xiao Wan, what is this?"
Wan Yunting shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know its composition, but I can confirm that this is what caused so many snakes to appear!"
"Then get rid of it quickly, it's too scary."
The surrounding women, their faces still pale with fear, felt lingering dread. The scene of snakes everywhere, something only seen on television, had now happened in reality, leaving everyone in the Ouyang family with a significant psychological trauma.
"Don't worry, I'll handle it."
Wan Yunting nodded and asked someone to get a bag to put the dark package in. Xia Xiangyun then said, "Xiao Wan, you should get your hand bandaged…"
"Ah, a snake…!"
Suddenly, a scream came from outside. Wan Yunting, ignoring the wound on his left hand, went out to see a red snake on the steps of the reception hall entrance. It was as thick as a wrist, over a meter long, with fine dark red scales. Its body writhed as it raised its head, flicking its tongue…
"A straggler, I'll kill it…"
Ouyang Xiuxian grabbed a large broom and was about to rush forward to kill the red snake, but Wan Yunting grabbed him, "Wait, this is her snake!"
"Her snake, whose snake?"
Ouyang Xiuxian, Zhang Xian'er, and everyone behind them looked at Wan Yunting in confusion. He took a few steps forward and looked at the red snake, realizing it was the snake that always accompanied Ji Ruxue!
This peculiar red snake raised its head and flicked its tongue at Wan Yunting, as if signaling something. Then, it turned and began to crawl outside at an extremely fast speed, disappearing beyond the courtyard gate in an instant.
"Dad, Grandpa, you stay here and be safe. I'm going to check…"
Wan Yunting, not having time to consider anything else, immediately followed the snake, hastily leaving behind his words. Ouyang Zhixin anxiously called out, "Xiao Wan, let Xian'er go with you…"
"No need, let her stay and protect everyone. Everyone stay at home and don't go out. I can handle this."
Wan Yunting, running out of the courtyard gate, replied. He then stared intently at the fast-moving snake ahead. It was heading towards the ice lake to the east…
"No, I have to send someone to follow…"
Ouyang Zhixin worried about his son's safety, but Ouyang Shenhe said, "Don't go. Xiao Wan said he can handle it, so he can handle it. We should just stay here honestly."
Ouyang Zhixin turned and watched his father and the others turn back into the reception hall. Xia Xiangyun and his daughter Ouyang Fanmeng looked very anxious. He could only comfort them, "Don't worry, Xiao Wan is not a rash person. If he says he can handle it himself, he definitely can…"
At this moment, Wan Yunting was following the extremely fast red snake, running along the corridor leading to the ice lake. Many household servants were holding sticks and brooms, clearing away snakes that hadn't managed to escape. Some young men were even thinking of catching the snakes for an extra meal tonight.
"Look, there's another one!"
A young bodyguard saw the fast red snake and intended to strike it down. Wan Yunting shouted, "Don't hit it, you guys go back and protect the patriarch and the others."
"Yes, Young Master Wan…"
The bodyguards immediately stopped and looked at Wan Yunting in confusion as he chased the red snake into the ice lake, vaulting over the wall of the Ouyang family's ancestral home to the east.
Outside the eastern wall of the Ouyang family, there was a small, secluded path that was rarely traveled. However, at this moment, a black car was parked by the roadside. As the red snake crawled towards the black car, a young man in a black suit emerged. It was An Ye!
An Ye saw the snake return and opened the rear door. The red snake got into the back seat and immediately crawled onto Ji Ruxue, who was wearing a black lace dress and a dark red fur coat. Her fair, jade-like hands held the red snake, her long, dark fingernails giving off a dark aura…
An Ye's expression was blank. He looked handsome and cold, his sharp gaze fixed on Wan Yunting, who had jumped down from the courtyard wall and was heading towards them. Their eyes met, and both knew the other was not ordinary.
An Ye, standing by the car door, took a step back, signaling Wan Yunting to get into the car!
Wan Yunting narrowed his eyes, knowing Ji Ruxue was in the car. He walked over, glanced at An Ye, and then got into the car. He saw Ji Ruxue's peculiar, faint green, charming fox-like eyes squint into crescent moons as she looked at Wan Yunting flirtatiously, "You're here."
Wan Yunting's expression was stern. He handed her the plastic bag in his hand and said coldly, "It seems you've planned this all along!"
Ji Ruxue opened the black plastic bag and took out the dark package. With fiery red lips, she smiled, "If you had obediently followed my orders, none of this would have happened today!"
Wan Yunting turned his head, his cold eyes fixed on her, and said chillingly, "Killing you shouldn't be difficult, right?"
Ji Ruxue turned her head, her fox-like eyes glancing at him, and then chuckled charmingly, "Of course, with your abilities, you can definitely kill me, but what reason do you have? And what evidence do you have that I did all this?"
"Besides, these methods today are just a small part of what I can do. If I wanted to kill someone, I would have a thousand ways to make your entire Ouyang family perish!"
This blatant threat made Wan Yunting's face darken, and his eyes glared furiously at Ji Ruxue. The anger within him made him want to strangle this wicked woman.
"Hehe, don't look at me like that."
Ji Ruxue cast a flirtatious glance at him with her fox-like eyes and smiled, "We weren't enemies from the start. Moreover, you have something I want, so why would I really harm your whole family? If I wanted to kill someone today, it wouldn't be Ouyang Liqun!"
Wan Yunting's eyebrows furrowed. He retracted his fierce gaze, knowing that Ji Ruxue wanted to obtain the special power of the intelligent snake within him through dual cultivation.
Ji Ruxue turned her head, her fox-like eyes, now crescent moons, glancing at him, and she smiled, "Are you worried that when we cultivate together, I'll suddenly make a move on you?"
Wan Yunting lit a cigarette, took a puff, opened the car window, and said coldly, "People like you kill people as casually as eating meals."
"Hehe…"
Ji Ruxue smiled and said, "That's right, but I can't bear to kill you…"
Wan Yunting raised an eyebrow and turned to look coldly at Ji Ruxue, who was leaning closer. Without hesitation, he pushed her away and said coldly, "Don't try that with me, I won't fall for it."
Ji Ruxue's fox-like eyes rippled with desire as she looked at him and smiled seductively, "Don't I have any charm that makes you want to get into bed with me?"
Wan Yunting glanced at her coldly and said, "I'm not Ouyang Liqun!"
"Hehe…"
Ji Ruxue let out a charming laugh and gave him a flirtatious glance, "So you're afraid I'll cast a love charm on you!"
Wan Yunting smoked, remembering Ouyang Liqun's tragic death. He was indeed afraid that a snake would crawl out of his stomach.
"You are truly endearingly foolish."
Ji Ruxue gave him a charming sideways glance and said, "Your bloodline is that of a divine snake. No matter how powerful a snake charm is, it's useless against you. Furthermore, you are immune to all poisons, and your blood can even neutralize all snake venoms in the world. What do you have to fear?"
Wan Yunting turned his head and glanced at her, then continued to smoke in silence.
"Fine."
Ji Ruxue knew he didn't believe her, so she said, "How about this, come back to the Divine Snake Tribe with me, and you'll understand everything!"
Wan Yunting frowned and turned his head to look at her sideways, "Thailand?"
Ji Ruxue nodded and smiled flirtatiously, "Don't refuse. If you refuse, what happened today will happen again!"
Wan Yunting's face darkened with anger. He pushed the car door open and got out, slamming the door shut. Then, leaning into the car window, he said coldly to Ji Ruxue inside, "I don't care if you're from the Divine Snake Tribe or whatever damned tribe. If you dare to let another snake into this residence, I will annihilate them all for you!"
Without waiting for Ji Ruxue to speak, Wan Yunting turned and headed back towards the east gate.
"Hehe…"
Ji Ruxue squinted her fox-like eyes, her fiery red lips forming a triumphant smile, knowing that Wan Yunting had agreed…
