Chapter 852 Bamboo Leaf Green Snake Makes a Move (1)
Before Shen Ji could swing his hoe, he watched helplessly as a long, emerald-green snake, hanging upside down from a bamboo branch and flicking its scarlet tongue, suddenly bit down on the exposed forearm of the unsuspecting girl.
After biting the person, the green snake fell to the ground with a snap. Before Shen Ji could bring down his hoe, it quickly wriggled into the pile of bamboo leaves that had accumulated over the years, vanishing without a trace in an instant.
Liu Tinglan felt a sudden, intense pain in her forearm and immediately dropped her hoe. Looking down, she saw two drops of black blood welling up on her pale arm, a sight so horrifying it was.
At that moment, Liu Tinglan did not yet realize that she had been bitten by a snake. It was not until she wiped away the blood beads and saw the two small puncture wounds on her arm that she became aware of the source of the piercing pain, and her face turned deathly pale. She swayed unsteadily and was caught by Shen Ji, who was also pale with shock.
"Miss Liu, Miss Liu, how are you, what’s wrong with you?" His face ashen, Shen Ji’s hands shook violently as he supported her, and his lips trembled, unable to form a complete sentence.
As she looked at her rapidly swelling, blackened arm, Liu Tinglan’s face grew paler. Seeing Shen Ji’s frantic face, her heart, previously filled with fear and unrest, miraculously calmed, and she spoke with a calm that surprised even herself, "You saw it, it was a Poisonous Snake, wasn’t it? Perhaps, I might..."
"Don’t talk nonsense!" Shen Ji interrupted her before she could utter the word ’die,’ his usually warm eyes flaming with anger, "Don’t talk nonsense, you won’t die, I won’t let you die, I won’t!"
