Chapter 657 - 324 Little Squirrel_3
As she was gathering her belongings, she found that the White Snake hadn’t taken the Phoenix Eye Bodhi Beads the Old Monk had given to Monkey Brother. It seemed it must have gone to play with the White Snake.
In the night, Qian Yixiu felt an icy chill on her legs as if she had returned to the mountainside. She was puzzled, she hadn’t gone out, could it be that Cave Sky Pool’s weather had suddenly changed?
When she opened her eyes, under the starlight, she saw a massive White Snake coiled by her legs. The head of the White Snake was raised, staring at her with pea-sized green eyes, its flickering tongue mere inches from her.
Qian Yixiu was terrified to the core and started screaming with her eyes closed. Her voice was so piercing that it not only woke Liang Jinzhao and Wu Ming but also disturbed all the animals in the valley.
Liang Jinzhao and Wu Ming leaped to their feet and saw a nearly thirty-foot-long White Snake coiled beside Qian Yixiu. They quickly drew their swords, only to see Monkey Brother jump out from Cave Sky Pool, running over and gesturing them, signaling that the big snake was a friend, not a foe.
Liang Jinzhao went over and pulled the still-screaming Qian Yixiu a few meters away from the snake, and only then did she feel like she had come back to life. She also realized that the snake was the guardian of Serpent Vine Chrysanthemum, which had once come to repay her kindness with a Dragon Fragrance Tree.
Qian Yixiu touched the Star Moon Bodhi Beads around her neck, it seemed the big snake was no longer afraid of the beads. Usually, these beads would ward off evil and avert disaster, supposed to be more powerful than the Phoenix Eye Bodhi Beads. The fact that the snake feared the Phoenix Eye Bodhi Beads but not these meant it was not malevolent and probably would not harm her, which made her less afraid of it.
Qian Yixiu felt embarrassed for her overreaction. She waved to the big snake with a smile, "Hey, Lady White, I wasn’t fully awake just now, in a daze, and I freaked you out. Sorry about that."
That said, she still didn’t dare to get too close.
