Chapter 149: Using Fire to Burn the Snakes
Madam Zhou was panicked and struggled to swim away, with her screaming piecing the sky, “Help…help…”
“Qingyan!” Watching Song Qingyan who got badly injured and entangled by the snakes, Murong Xue’s heart was bleeding…She unplugged the hairpin on her head and threw it at Song Qingyan, “Qingyan, take it. Go for the jugulur…”
Song Qingyan got badly injured in her arms. She could only watch the hairpin fly at her and then fall on the head of a snake. The snake shook its head, with dangerous light glittering in its red little eyes. It released Song Qingyan and swam toward Murong Xue who hit it…
So the snake was…swimming her way!
Murong Rou was panicked. She waved her hands and tried to swim forward, while the snakes were coming nearer and nearer from behind…
The snakes were getting closer and nearly got them. Madam Zhou narrowed her eyes, suddenly turned back and kicked at Murong Xue and pushed her to those snakes…
Murong Rou was surprised. She immediately grasped Madam Zhou’s ancle and said grumpily, “Woman, what are you doing?”
Madam Zhou struggled to get rid of her but failed. She then raised her eyebrows and said to Murong Rou bitterly, “You brought those snakes to us. I just want you to deal with them.”
While she was saying that, she looked quite calm, like she had done nothing guilty at all.
Murong Rou frowned, “I was trying to save Qingyan, so…”
“You are her mother, of course you have to save her. But I am just her aunt. We have no blood ties. I have to take care of my husband and my son. I can’t die with you and your daughter…” Madam Zhou interrupted her with that ruthless voice.
“So you tried to push us to the snakes, while you can escape?” said Murong Rou resentfully, with cold light flashing in her eyes, “Zhou, you are so heartless…” Their over ten years’ friendship was nothing before her life.
Madam Zhou snorted, “Murong Rou, no one isn’t selfish. If you were me, you would also make the same choice. So don’t blame me.”
“Right. Sacrificing others to protect oneself is the wisest decision.” said Murong Rou with her lips curled up. She grabbed Madam Zhou’s ankle and used all the strength to throw her slim body into the snake swarm.
Numerous snakes entangled Madam Zhou’s arms, waist and neck, biting her ruthlessly with the sharp fangs. The blood immediately reddened the lake. Madam Zhou was screaming with fear, “Ah…Help…Help…”
The snakes were everywhere. All people were running for their own lives. No one would risk their lives to save her. She could only shout for help in hell…
Murong Rou snorted, with a cold smile on her face. She then swam to the bank quickly with all her strength. But suddenly a lot of thick and long giant snakes came out of water and entangled her body, tighter and tighter. She tried to open her mouth and cried for help using that feeble and weak voice, “Help…help…”
Murong Xue looked those two people on the boat, with only contempt in her eyes: They claim to be best friends, like real sisters. But when it comes to a life or death matter, they immediately fall out and even try to kill each other. So ridiculous! Wait! Where do those big snakes in the lake come from? Something isn’t right…
Whoosh! A thick and long snake crept out of water and entangled Yuan Fangfei’s hand and pulled her into the water…
“Help…” Yuan Fangfei’s weak crying was heard under the water. When Murong Xue was trying to save her, suddenly another big snake crept out of water and tried to entangle Murong Xue…
Murong Xue narrowed her eyes and dodged its pounce. Then the snake immediately swung its tail and hit on Murong Xue’s back. She then got thrown onto the ground. And the snake immediately threw itself at her with its mouth widely open…
Murong Xue concentrated all his attention, stretched out her hands to grasp the jaws of the snake and tried to use all her strength to break them apart.
That giant snake then pounced at her delicate face with its tongue hissing. Murong Xue quickly tilted her head and dodged it. Then the snake poked its head onto the deck, then rolled with huge pains.
When Murong Xue was about to lose its jaws, she suddenly turned over and rode on the back of the giant snake. She then pulled out the hairpin on her head and pierced into the jugulur. The giant snake rolled on the ground because of huge pains and shook Murong Xue off…
Murong Xue quickly stabilized her body and fell on the boat. Before she kept her feet after backing up for a few steps, the giant snake already threw itself at her again with its big mouth open. Her hairpin was still left in its jugulur, with the blood dripping onto the deck…
Murong Xue sharpened her eyes and immediately grabbed anything by her side and smashed them at the giant snake. Suddenly when something hit on the snake’s head, some kind of golden liquid spilled all over the body of the snake…
It’s…oil!
Murong Xue suddenly remembered people could not only enjoy the sightseeing, but also have meals on the boat. Except zither, chess, tea, snacks, there were also vegetables, meat, oil and flintstone…
The giant snake was trying to attack again with its mouth ope, Murong Xue grabbed the flintstone beside and threw it at the snake…
The oil immediately got on fire and burned the giant snake. It rolled and hissed and then fell into the water…
It thought after getting into the water, there’s a way out? What wishful thinking!
Murong Xue Sneered and the got all the oil out of the boat and poured it all into the lake and immediately nearly half of the lake was on fire. Murong Xue then looked up to the high platform and shouted, “I set the fire. Move!”
Those people who got surrounded by the snakes now all turned to her who on standing on the boat, with her nattier blue dress waving in the wind, making her extra beautiful. She flipped the flintstone into the late then. Boom! Everything was on fire! All the snakes were on fire…
With the blazing fire on the surface of the lake, the snakes became fewer and fewer. And the way people looked at Murong Xue was all filled with admiration. Burning the snakes with fire! What a genius plan! Murong Xue was really smart!
The emperor’s eyes darkened. And the way he looked at Murong Xue was kind of complicated…
