Chapter 1531: What About the Image? (1)
Yang Ruxin and Gu Qingheng didn’t show themselves, hiding behind Qi Jingyi, watching him pretend to be cool while his legs were trembling, struggling to hold back their laughter.
As the giant creature approached, Qi Jingyi bit down on his back teeth and lowered his voice, "Yang Ruxin, you can’t laugh at me."
"Don’t worry, Your Highness," Yang Ruxin encouraged from behind, "If you don’t believe in me, you must believe in Xiaolun, right? Show some of the Prince’s authority, scare off that Hei Shu."
Qi Jingyi just swallowed his saliva, but his voice trembled a bit, "I need to pee..."
Yang Ruxin’s mouth twitched, "Prince, what about your image?"
"We’re about to die, what image do I need?" Qi Jingyi growled.
Just then, the giant python had already reached them, even opening its massive mouth, but before everyone could react, it suddenly thudded onto the ground. It wasn’t immediately dead, but it no longer had any fight left in it.
Qi Jingyi’s heart, which had been in his throat, thudded back into place.
Xiaolun darted over and perched on Qi Jingyi’s shoulder, proudly flicking its forked tongue at him.
"Wow, this beast even knows how to salute me," Qi Jingyi’s swagger returned, his voice growing louder as he fanned himself and took a couple of steps forward, "Hei Shu, your skills are lacking."
"You..." Hei Shu was shocked. He hadn’t expected such a turn of events and couldn’t believe that his carefully nurtured giant python would be so ineffective. He immediately tried to command the grey python to wake again, but unfortunately, there was no response.
