Chapter 781 - 781 Spirit Snake
781 Spirit Snake
Su Xiaolu broke through the lake and saw the boat in the middle of the lake swaying. There was no one on it.
Under the moonlight, her vision was blocked.
Su Xiaolu only heard the sound of water and a weak cry for help. The voice was also very familiar.
Su Xiaolu had no time to think about why Li Kuo was here. She only knew that Li Kuo was a good person. She could not let him die here.
Su Xiaolu locked onto the struggling big guy and swam towards the source of the sound. Thanks to the conch given by the merpeople’s leader, she could move freely in the water like a fish.
Soon, she caught Li Kuo. Li Kuo was unconscious and hugged her tightly.
This was the most hateful thing about every drowning person, but at this moment, it was completely instinctive.
Su Xiaolu could only press the acupuncture points on his body. Li Kuo completely fainted and was pulled towards the shore by Su Xiaolu.
Behind Su Xiaolu were the waves caused by the thing’s struggle.
Su Xiaolu dragged Li Kuo to the shore and used her superpower to pull the thing out of the strange lake. Gradually, Su Xiaolu saw its appearance.
It was actually a huge snake as thick as a bucket.
It was black, wrapped in the wall of water and was struggling to get ashore.
As if knowing that it was in danger, the snake stood up and sprayed poison at Su Xiaolu.
Countless water walls were erected around Su Xiaolu. The poison was sealed by the water wall. She removed the water wall. The poison and water landed on the ground and burned the stones and sand.
It burned a hole in the ground.
If this thing sprayed on a person, a hole would probably be instantly burned through their body.
Su Xiaolu reacted quickly and quickly mobilized her water-element superpower to extract all the blood from the snake’s body. During this process, the snake twisted and struggled crazily.
Li Kuo woke up coughing. When he saw this, he was really frightened to death. He couldn’t help but scream loudly.
Under his surprised gaze, the snake stopped breathing and smashed into the ground, shaking the shore.
Su Xiaolu drew her sword and flew up without hesitation. Then, she slashed down high and cut off the snake’s head to ensure that it died completely.
Li Kuo’s eyelids rolled back and he fainted.
Su Xiaolu put the snake’s corpse into her Space.
She looked at the unconscious Li Kuo and sighed. She wanted to continue going into the lake to find the interface stones, but it was obvious that she couldn’t. She had to send Li Kuo back.
Li Kuo came on a horse. Su Xiaolu threw him onto the horse’s back and rode it back to the city.
On the way, Li Kuo was woken up by the bumps, but he really didn’t know how to face Su Xiaolu, so he continued to pretend to be unconscious.
He guessed that Su Xiaolu was very powerful, but he never expected her to be so powerful.
When he arrived at the strange lake, the surface of the lake was very calm. He could not see anything, but his intuition told him that the Miss Zhao he was thinking about was in the lake. Without hesitation, he pushed the boat and rowed to the center of the lake. He originally thought that if he waited quietly for Miss Zhao to come out, Miss Zhao might be touched to see him.
But for some reason, the surface of the lake suddenly surged. Vaguely, something very big hit the boat hard.
The boat swayed and finally, he lost his balance and fell into the lake. He knew how to swim, but the lake was even more chaotic. He could only call for help.
He was right. Su Xiaolu was at the bottom of the lake and saved him from drowning.
When he was on the shore, he woke up with a cough and saw a huge thing twisting. Even in the dark night, he could tell that it was a huge snake. It was huge and terrifying.
However, Miss Zhao was not afraid of it at all. Instead, he was so scared that he fainted.
When he woke up again, he was already on the back of a horse heading home.
Li Kuo became even more depressed. He thought that the difference between him and Miss Zhao was nine feet, but in fact, it was a thousand feet.
This was a ravine that was difficult for him to cross.
His heart ached. This was the first time he had been so moved by a woman since he was young, but he could not even say it out loud. It was going to die in his heart.
Su Xiaolu brought Li Kuo back to the Li Residence.
The Li Residence was already brightly lit. The servants were urgently looking for Li Kuo.
Seeing Su Xiaolu bring Li Kuo back, the servants heaved a sigh of relief.
The servants helped Li Kuo back to the backyard, and the doctor immediately followed.
Master Su did not greet Su Xiaolu before following the servants to the backyard worriedly.
Madam Chu’s beautiful eyes were worried and puzzled, but she suppressed her doubts and gave the order. She thanked Su Xiaolu gratefully and gently. “Miss Zhao, thank you.”
Su Xiaolu did not know how to explain Li Kuo’s matter. She looked at Madam Chu and said frankly, “It’s what I should do. Thank you for your hospitality these two days. I’ll take my leave now.”
Because of her, Li Kuo was in danger. Su Xiaolu understood Madam Chu’s conflicted feelings for her.
It would be a lie to say that she did not blame her, but she could not say anything. Madam Chu heaved a sigh of relief when Su Xiaolu took the initiative to leave. She smiled gently. “Miss, you’re too polite. You have something on, so I can’t ask you to stay, but as long as you’re willing, the Li Residence welcomes you anytime.”
Madam Chu was gentle and polite, so she naturally could not make herself clear. Su Xiaolu was the one who took the initiative to resign. She also had her dignity.
Madam Chu had a good impression of Su Xiaolu, but after only knowing her for a few days, her son almost lost his life. Madam Chu did not dare to be careless. Some lives had to be trusted.
Su Xiaolu smiled and left.
When she returned, she took Li Kuo’s pulse. Li Kuo’s life was fine, but after such a thing happened, no matter what the reason was, it would not be good for her to stay in the Li residence anymore.
Although it was late, it was not difficult to find an inn to stay in.
Madam Chu heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Su Xiaolu leave.
Only then did she hurry towards the backyard.
When Li Kuo returned home, he stopped pretending to be unconscious.
After the doctor took his pulse, he only prescribed two sets of medicine to suppress his shock and cold. Hence, Master Su was relieved. Only then did his expression become stern as he asked, “Where did you go in the middle of the night? Do you know how worried you made your mother and I? You can even disregard your family for a girl of unknown origin who you’ve only known for a few days?”
Li Kuo’s expression darkened as he admitted his mistake with a hurt heart. “Father, I know I was wrong. I won’t do it again.”
Miss Zhao was so outstanding and he was so ordinary. It was definitely impossible for Miss Zhao to like him. In Miss Zhao’s eyes, she must look down on him. He had almost drowned and was frightened by the snake. He really did not have any masculinity at all.
However, he really didn’t control it well. He was really helpless. Li Kuo was depressed.
Madam Chu rushed in and felt terrible when she saw Li Kuo like this. She knew her son best. She sat down and asked gently, “Kuo’er, what happened tonight? Mother knows that you have feelings for Miss Zhao. Don’t keep anything to yourself. Tell us. Father and Mother will think of a way for you, and your brother will help you too.”
