The Comeback of the Charming Farmer's Wife

Chapter 1169 - 1171: Holding a Nest of Snake Eggs_1



"It’s possible!" Mu Shaoling felt that such a large python was likely almost mystical, so it wouldn’t be strange for it to track them down by scent.

"What, what should we do?" Commandery Princess Dongyang’s face turned pale again, her heart clogged with dread. Could she really not escape being swallowed alive? She didn’t actually believe that she and Mu Shaoling could handle that giant python.

"I’ll try to cover our tracks first," said Mu Shaoling. "Wait here; I’ll be back soon." Having said that, Mu Shaoling vanished before Commandery Princess Dongyang could even respond.

She helplessly kicked the stones at her feet, finding it bizarre that there would be a giant python in the forest. Well, it was actually their bad luck. This island originally didn’t harbor such creatures. The python was just about to lay eggs and had chosen this island to avoid its eggs being found by others, never expecting that there would be people on the island.

As dusk approached, Mu Shaoling had not returned, and Commandery Princess Dongyang couldn’t help but worry that he might encounter the giant python alone. She thought about going out to look for him. But at that moment, she heard some strange noises from behind her.

"Hiss hiss... hiss hiss..."

"Hiss hiss... hiss hiss..."

Commandery Princess Dongyang slowly turned her head and then saw a large snake head behind her, about two or three meters away.

She was terrified!

"Hey, hey, don’t come any closer!" Commandery Princess Dongyang trembled, backing away and waving her hands, "Let’s not bother each other, you lay your eggs, and I’ll stay on my island. But, but if you attack me, I will fight back, you know. I really will."

However, the giant python couldn’t understand her words—it wasn’t an ancient demon. It recognized that there was no dangerous scent on her, making her suitable to eat.

So it slowly crept forward.

Seeing this, Commandery Princess Dongyang bolted.

As she ran, the python also picked up speed.

Realizing that it was relentlessly pursuing her, Commandery Princess Dongyang decided to dash into the forest, looking all around for any sign of caves while she ran.

Indeed, she was searching for caves, seeking out snake eggs. With the python in hot pursuit and no way to defeat it, her only option was to use the eggs as a bargaining chip.

Perhaps luck was on her side, as the deeper she moved into the forest, the stronger the fishy smell became. Elders always said the scent was stronger near a snake’s den.

Without further thought, Commandery Princess Dongyang headed straight for the source.

And indeed, there was a nest of snake eggs!

As Commandery Princess Dongyang crawled into the cave, the python realized what she intended to do. Its body was too large and the entrance too small to block her path, so it could only watch as she cradled a whole nest of eggs in her arms.

"Move aside!" Commandery Princess Dongyang stepped forward cautiously, "If you don’t move, I’ll crush them! But if you don’t eat me, I will return them to you."

Though the python couldn’t comprehend human speech, it sensed the intent behind Commandery Princess Dongyang’s actions.

Still, it didn’t budge, but Dongyang paid it no heed and continued to step forward until the python began to slowly retreat.

So there she was, walking out of the forest with a nest of snake eggs in her arms. As long as the eggs weren’t damaged, they could be hatched at any time, so she wasn’t worried about delaying the python’s egg hatching.

Meanwhile, Mu Shaoling had prepared some medicinal powder and sprinkled it along the way, planning to mask their scents completely. But when he was done and returned to where he had left her, there was no one there.
