Chapter 1132: Chapter 1132: Entering the Snake Den?
The woman’s words, along with her matter-of-fact demeanor, left Tang Yichen at a complete loss.
How on earth does she manage to say such shameless things with such a self-assured face?
Seeing Tang Yichen remain silent, the woman assumed he had tacitly agreed, and a surge of elation welled up inside her.
Just as she was about to speak again, she felt a chilling touch on her neck.
The woman abruptly widened her eyes, about to retreat when a stab of pain on her neck made blood seep through.
"Don’t move."
A voice, cold and languid, rang out, freezing the woman in place.
Afraid that any movement would lead to her throat being slit.
"Wh... what do you want?" The woman stood rigidly in place, glancing down at the sword resting against her neck while simultaneously sneaking a look at Gu Zhiqi.
Gu Zhiqi paid no heed to her question and lazily uttered, "Repeat what you just said."
"Wh... what words?" The woman’s voice quivered as she spoke.
Her legs trembled in fear.
Meanwhile, beside her, Tang Yichen blinked, his gaze falling upon the sword in Gu Zhiqi’s hand with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
Why does this sword look so familiar to him?
Gu Zhiqi: "Repeat the part about getting him to earn twenty points for you."
Upon hearing this, the woman instantly understood; he had no intention of helping her earn points.
"You guys killed the giant snake I’ve been battling for a long time, it should be... hss"
Before she could finish speaking, pain shot through her neck, intensifying the sensation as the warmth of the blood trickled down.
The woman wanted to raise her hand to cover the wound, but Gu Zhiqi’s sword was resting right there.
It held an unmistakable threat; raising her hand would mean losing her fingers.
The woman’s face instantly turned ashen.
Gu Zhiqi: "Want the snake, right?"
The woman immediately shook her head, stammering in reply, "I... I... was just joking earlier, don’t... don’t take it to heart, don’t... take it seriously."
Gu Zhiqi: "Oh really? But your joke wasn’t funny."
Woman: "..."
Gu Zhiqi causally put away his sword, "Since you don’t want the snake, then scram."
With that said, he turned to Tang Yichen and said, "Let’s go."
Upon seeing this, Tang Yichen promptly responded, took a step forward, and followed after Gu Zhiqi.
Observing the pair leave, the woman gritted her teeth, covered the wound on her neck, and quietly followed them.
**
As soon as the woman followed them, Tang Yichen immediately leaned in close to Gu Zhiqi and whispered, "Gu Xiaoxi, that woman has followed us."
Gu Zhiqi: "Let her follow."
Although Tang Yichen heard this, he was displeased.
With the woman tagging along, she’d definitely attempt to steal points from them.
However, ten minutes later, Tang Yichen changed his mind.
Tang Yichen watched the sudden appearance of four giant snakes and fell silent.
Was this...
walking into a snake’s den?
While thinking this, he turned his head to look at Gu Zhiqi, his eyes full of questions.
Gu Zhiqi’s expression remained unchanged, and he spoke towards the nearby shrubbery, "You wanted a giant snake, here’s fourfold in return, no need for thanks."
With that said, he reached out and grabbed Tang Yichen by the back of his collar, flying over the tops of the giant snakes.
The four giant snakes opened their mouths wide, lunging upward to bite at the two, but failed to catch them.
When the four giant snakes landed, Gu Zhiqi and Tang Yichen were nowhere in sight, and the snakes began searching around.
A minute later, a sharp and shrill scream erupted from amidst the shrubbery.
"Ah!"
After the scream, cries for help continued.
"Save me!"
"Help!"
