Volume 1: The Ghost Doctor's Hidden Fangs 058 Got Bitten by a Snake

  However, when several people rushed to their location, they were taken aback by the scene before them. By the small stream, a figure in green clothing stood still - Tang Xing's absolutely beautiful face wore a faint smile, and her clear eyes were fixed on Su Ruo Water, who sat on the grassy ground wearing white clothes.

  "Tang Xin, are you okay?" Emperor Mo also quickly came to Tang Xin's side, his worried gaze relaxed slightly when he saw that she was unharmed.

  Seeing the undisguised worry in his eyes, that was the most genuine reaction from the bottom of his heart, he couldn't help but smile: "I'm fine." His finger pointed to Su Ruo Water on the grass: "But Miss Su seems..."

  "What's wrong?" Su Zhen Nan hurried over, only to see her hand covering her calf, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and her face a few shades paler.

  "Miss Su, how are you?"

  "I...I..." She took a slight gasp of air, her body trembling all over, and couldn't utter another half sentence.

  "What did you do to her?!" Su Zhen's face was furious as he glared at Tang Xin, who looked like she had committed a heinous crime.

  Tang Xin looked at him and said slowly, "Young Master Su's question is strange. I'm just a weak woman with no ability to even tie up a chicken, what could I possibly do to Miss Su?"

  "Tang Xin! Tang Xin, are you okay? I just heard a cry of surprise and thought something had happened to you!" Duan Wuji rushed over hastily, his footsteps not stopping as he almost fell into the creek, luckily being pulled back by Liu Shaobai behind him.

  "What's wrong?" Liu Shaobai looked at several people and saw Su Ruoshui sitting on the grass, then said: "Zhen Nan, first help Miss Su up!"

  Su Zhen Nan furrowed his brow and glanced at Tang Xin before squatting down: "Ruo Shui, what's wrong with your calf? Is it injured? What hurt you?"

  "Yes... it's a snake..." she stammered, her beautiful eyes welling up with tears, still filled with a hint of fear.

  "Snake? Let go quickly, let me see if it's poisonous!" Su Zhen Nan hastily removed her hand and lifted the hem of her skirt. On her calf were two deep tooth marks oozing blood beads. He felt a slight relief: "It's okay, it's not a venomous snake. Bandaging it will be fine."

  At this moment, he tore off a strip of cloth to help her bandage: "So many years have passed, why are you still afraid of snakes? Didn't you say you had overcome it?"

  "I..."

  "Alright, get up!" He helped her stand up and only then turned to Tang Xin: "Miss Tang, I want to know how Yueshui got bitten by a snake?" With Yueshui's skills, she shouldn't have been bitten by a snake. What exactly happened when they were here earlier?

  Before Tang Xin could speak, Duan Wuzhi, who was standing beside her, spoke up: "Hey, what's with this question? This snake likes to bite her, why are you asking Tang Xin about it? Are you trying to bully her because you think she's easy to push around? Let me tell you, as long as I'm here, you'd better not bully her."

  Liu Shaobai fanned himself with a fan and glanced at Duan Wujie: "You'd better not interfere, what can you do? Others can't even control their strength in one punch."

  "Settle down." Emperor Mo looked at him with a glance, feeling that he seemed to have hostility towards her.

  "Just now there were only two of them here, shouldn't they have asked clearly? Fortunately, it was just a grass snake, if it were a venomous snake, wouldn't their lives be in danger?"

  Tang Xin glanced at Su Ruo Shui, seeing that her face was pale and the fear in her eyes had not dissipated. Her previous instinctive reaction also made Tang Xin realize that she was indeed very afraid of snakes. However, thinking of what Su Ruo Shui had said earlier, a faint smile involuntarily appeared on her lips. But this smile fell into Su Zhen Nan's eyes, and it seemed somewhat piercing.

  Seeing Tang Xin's smile, Su Ruo Shui involuntarily lowered her eyes: "Big brother, it was my own carelessness, please help me back to the carriage first!"

  Seeing this, Su Zhen Nan didn't even give them a glance, and instead supported Su Ruo Shui as they walked towards the horse carriage.

  "Ruo Shui, how did you get bitten by a snake? Was it because of that woman?"

  "Big brother, don't say anything else, it's all because I was too careless that I got bitten by the snake."

  Upon hearing this, Su Zhen Nan fell into deep thought for a moment: "Since Shang Mu's heart is already with that woman, let's just go back!"

  "No! I don't believe I'll lose to her!" She grasped his sleeve tightly, with a strong sense of unwillingness in her eyes.

  "Alas! I thought we'd have more chances to spend time together and see your good side, but..."

  "Brother, I know you're doing this for my own good. Believe me, I'll be fine." She was absolutely, absolutely going to make Emperor Mo fall in love with her!

  "Alright! But you have to promise me, when you get back, you must overcome your fear of snakes. Otherwise, in the future, this could very likely become a weakness that others can exploit."

  "Uh-huh, I see." She nodded and got into the carriage with his support.

  By the brook, Emperor Xian walked up to her and said softly, "Let's head back to the carriage too! At this speed, we should arrive at Fuyun Mountain by tonight."

  "Good." She responded with one word and also walked towards the carriage.

  Liu Shaobai and Duan Wuzhi saw each other, exchanged a glance, and followed suit. By the side of the horse carriage, Su Zhen Nan watched them walk over, his gaze sweeping past Tang Xin's body to land on Di Shang Mo: "Shang Mo, if Ruo Shui gets bitten by a snake, please take care of her."

  "Mm." He nodded and helped Tang Xin onto the horse carriage.

  Su Zhen Nan saw this and walked towards the horse carriage in the back. The group of people continued to head in the direction of Fuyun Mountain...

  Night, quietly and silently arrived, in the imperial city, at Rui Wang Fu, Mu Chenfeng stood by the window, listening to the secret report from the dark shadow, only then did he know that she and Di Shuang had gone to Fuyun Mountain with a few others. His deep eyes flashed with a hint of darkness, falling on the distant and profound night sky outside, as if thinking about something.

  At the same time, in the floating cloud mountain, Liu Shaobai and Duan Wuzhi picked up branches, lit a fire, and Su Zhen Nan put the wild game he had caught on the flames to roast. Not far from them, several fires were shining, and the sound of chatting was also transmitted into their ears one after another.

  Fuyun Mountain is enchanting due to its scenery, especially at night when fireflies fill the mountain grasslands, like twinkling stars. The scenery is so captivating that people linger and forget to leave. Many choose to visit here during their free time, and since Fuyun Mountain is far from town, they also spend the night on the mountain.

  "Look, there are people over there too, it's really lively." Duan Wuji excitedly pointed to a not-too-distant place, where in the forest filled with fireflies, piles of bonfires were lit up, and laughter echoed from time to time, making one's mood also become cheerful.

  "The nighttime temperatures here are also relatively warm, no wonder the fireflies that should appear in July or August are already present." Tang Xin supported her chin with one hand and looked at the mountain full of fireflies, wondering why the temperature on this Floating Cloud Mountain was different. It's only March now, if it were a place like the Imperial City, there would be no way for fireflies to appear.

  Girls, don't all dive and hide, just show a presence so I know you're there.
