Seeing the blue snake open its mouth, Master Gu turned pale with fright. He couldn't bear to watch the bloody scene and instinctively turned his head away, closing his eyes.
At the same time, Xiao Yi also reached out to grab it, but he wasn't as fast as Xia Weiliang.
As soon as she saw Little Blue open its mouth, she thought nothing of it and flicked its head with her finger.
*Pop!* Little Blue was caught off guard by the flick, its head wobbled, and it seemed a little dazed.
The two men behind her were sweating. But Xia Weiliang, ignorant of the danger, picked it up and reprimanded it, "Your teeth aren't even fully grown, and you want to scare people? Why don't you learn anything good? You should learn more songs from me to cultivate your snake's etiquette!"
After speaking, without waiting for its reaction, she wrapped it around her wrist again and looked at it from left to right.
"Hmm, in one word: beautiful!"
Master Gu truly couldn't handle the shock. He trembled and said, "Miss, this is a venomous snake, a highly, highly, highly venomous snake."
Xia Weiliang blinked, "A venomous snake?"
Slowly, she raised her hand and met Little Blue's eerie gaze, as if it were saying, "I'm poisonous, very poisonous. Why are you only finding out now?"
She couldn't even laugh.
"Is it too late to apologize to it now?"
Xiao Yi decisively broke off a bamboo branch, "I'll try to find a way to make it crawl away from you first."
Xia Weiliang dared not move, holding her hand out, afraid it would bite her if it got unhappy.
Little Blue slowly raised its head, looked at the bamboo branch extended in front of it, then looked at Xiao Yi, as if he had done something incredibly foolish!
Finally, it shook its head, retracted to her wrist, head and tail meeting, its tail covering its head, and just fell asleep like that!
Asleep!
Slept!
Master Gu: "..."
Xiao Yi frowned and turned to ask, "Master Gu, do you have any antivenom serum?"
Master Gu nodded repeatedly.
"Alright, let's go back first."
"We're... just going back like this?" Xia Weiliang raised her hand to show him the time bomb, "Don't we need to find it a bed?"
Xiao Yi knew she was scared and gently patted her head, "Let's go."
All the way, Xia Weiliang held her hand out, afraid of bumping or jostling it, while Xiao Yi's gaze remained vigilant.
They finally arrived at Master Gu's study, a large room of over a hundred square meters, with high shelves at both ends and various sized collections displayed on the partitions.
Master Gu didn't stand on ceremony and walked directly to the bookshelf behind the desk to find the serum.
"The seller said this stuff can't cure the poison, but it can alleviate it for a while, enough time to get to the hospital for an amputation."
Xia Weiliang: "..."
"Heh, heh, heh, heh, this uncle is quite amusing!!"
Xiao Yi gently placed her arm on the table, and they sat opposite each other.
Then Master Gu had fresh raw meat brought in, cut into small pieces, and placed next to the snake.
This was what it usually liked to eat.
Indeed, Little Blue, which was still asleep, wriggled slightly. But it only raised its head, showing no intention of leaving Xia Weiliang's wrist.
Xia Weiliang propped her chin on her hand and watched it, sighing helplessly, "Our fate ends here. Can you stop being so stubborn?"
Master Gu held a piece of raw meat with tweezers and tried to feed it to the snake, but it showed no inclination to open its mouth.
"What's going on?" Master Gu was also quite confused. He looked at the snake, then at Xia Weiliang, and said with some doubt, "It... likes you?"
Xia Weiliang shivered at his words, "Perhaps it was conquered by my singing?"
After a moment of hesitation, Master Gu, wearing special gloves, slowly grabbed the snake's body, intending to pull it away.
It hadn't moved before, but perhaps it was annoyed. The blue snake suddenly coiled around his hand and bit him fiercely on the head—
Master Gu was startled and quickly flung it away. He then looked at his glove. It was a glove that even a knife couldn't cut through, yet the snake had bitten a hole in it! If he hadn't dodged fast enough, he would have been the one considering amputation!
Xiao Yi was also surprised by the snake's speed.
This blue snake was much faster than ordinary snakes and bit without hesitation.
After biting Master Gu, Little Blue acted as if nothing had happened and coiled even tighter around Xia Weiliang's wrist—it wasn't planning on coming off!
Seeing its fierce and aggressive behavior, Xia Weiliang was intimidated.
"Heh, heh... it really has a bad temper when woken up..."
Master Gu, who had broken out in a cold sweat, wiped his forehead and said, "It's probably taken a liking to this young lady."
Xia Weiliang stared at her wrist, feeling utterly helpless!
Xiao Yi suddenly asked, "Master Gu, tell us about the origin of this snake. I know that anything that comes to your garden is not ordinary."
Master Gu's expression shifted evasively, "It's just..."
"Don't try to fool me. If I want to find out, I will."
Master Gu sighed deeply, "Alas! Fine, I'll tell you everything."
He said, "Ordinary blue snakes are mutated green tree pythons or forest king snakes that have turned blue. But this one of mine is different! See these two whiskers on its head? This is the blue snake mentioned in ancient Chinese records! I found it in the Chenjiadong area of Wuzhou. Ordinary blue snakes are worth over three million, but this one is priceless, simply unobtainable!"
Master Gu's face was filled with unconcealed excitement as he spoke. "According to the 'Youyang Zazu,' it says, 'Head venomous, tail beneficial; head venom kills people, tail made into jerky and eaten, it will heal.' This means eating its tail will immediately detoxify. As for whether it's true, I haven't dared to be bitten by it, so I can't know if eating the tail works. However, young lady, you might have an opportunity to try."
Xia Weiliang: "Thank you very much!"
Master Gu continued, "Since I brought this snake back, I've rarely seen it. Every time, I personally brought food here, but it seemed intentional and never showed itself. I didn't expect it to be so proactive in approaching you today, young lady. It seems you truly have a fate with it!"
"No, no, no, it's not, it's not, it's not!"
Xia Weiliang truly didn't want any fate with a snake, "So what do we do now?"
If she told anyone, they wouldn't believe her. She was actually being claimed by a snake?
Master Gu was quite magnanimous, "Since you have fate with it, I'll give it to you. It's because I felt so fond of you, this young lady, from the moment I saw you!"
Xia Weiliang was on the verge of tears and looked at Xiao Yi, "Give... give it to me?"
Can't we not!
Xiao Yi also felt it was inappropriate, "But judging by its behavior earlier, it's still aggressive."
Master Gu said, "I remember the seller once mentioned that this snake is very spiritual and clearly shows who it likes and who it doesn't. For example, it should still like this young lady."
Xia Weiliang looked at her wrist, not expecting it to be such a discerning snake.
Seeing it sleeping soundly, with its tail covering its head, it looked quite cute.
"It... likes me?"
She wasn't sure and decided to test it.
