Chapter 5, Oh my, who will save me
I... I really don't know how to explain it
"Do not think about escaping or doing anything foolish, unless you no longer wish to live. Tomorrow, I will have someone release you, and I will not keep someone watching you constantly. You may leave if you wish, and you may run if you desire; the Bai family will not stop you. However, I have already instructed someone to poison the food you have eaten these past few days. You must take the antidote every seven days to prevent the poison from taking effect. If you do not take the antidote within seven days, you will immediately succumb to the poison, dying with blood flowing from all seven orifices. Whether you live or die is entirely up to you." After saying this, the old lady left, tapping her cane as she walked away.
"What nonsense! Dan'er, who allowed you to use a snake to bite him?" The old lady's voice had already reached from a distance, and the third young lady immediately panicked and looked around.
The snake slowly crawled forward, while Yue Kang's body was firmly pinned to the ground by four guards, unable to move. He could only watch helplessly as the snake coiled around his neck, his entire body drenched in cold sweat. He pressed his lips tightly together, fearing that if he opened his mouth to scream, the snake would take the opportunity to crawl into his stomach—a scene he dared not even imagine. In his heart, he cried out, "My flesh is not tasty, dear snake, please don't bite me! Oh my God, someone save me!"
Do not be afraid of this snake; its venom is not very potent and will not cause a fatal bite. If it bites you, it feels similar to a needle prick—only a brief pain, and the bleeding will not be significant. There may be slight redness and swelling. However, if there is no antidote, after a few hours, the situation will worsen, and the poison will spread throughout the body. The bitten person will become agitated and restless, suffering in pain, with muscle tremors, foaming at the mouth, and difficulty breathing. Ultimately, they will be unable to rise from the ground, convulsing all over, and then they will die. Miss San spoke eloquently to her classmates, explaining this to a young teacher beside her. She had recited this passage to many individuals before, so it carried a particular charm when she spoke it.
Hmm? Are you no longer listening to your grandmother's words?" the old lady said sternly
Rather than complaining about the darkness, it is better to light a candle. Yue Kang has stopped blaming the heavens and others; he can only blame himself for not having extraordinary martial skills when he crossed over. If he had, his situation would not be so tragic. Elements of magic hidden in the world, heed my call and manifest! I wish to use your power to eliminate all my enemies, manifest now... This is a phrase Yue Kang has silently recited countless times, but unfortunately, he is not like many other protagonists of time travel, with innate flaws. It is truly a great regret that he cannot openly engage in a three-hundred-round battle with those two exceptionally beautiful black warriors and then escape. That would be more like a flower thief, wouldn't it? Is there anyone more cowardly than me as a flower thief?
"Alright, Dan'er, Grandma does not blame you; everything is decided by Grandma. Miaoxi is your sister; is she not also a good granddaughter of Grandma?" the old lady comforted.
The snake had been nurtured to a state of spiritual awareness by her. Its body was tense, and its head was lowered directly, biting fiercely into Yue Kang's shoulder. At that moment, Yue Kang was driven to madness, his eyes bloodshot with hatred, glaring fiercely at the Third Miss. "Damn your mother, ah..." He struggled with all his might, but the strength of the four strong men was beyond what he could resist, rendering his resistance futile.
"Big Yellow, stop playing and bite him," commanded Miss San, raising her finger.
The old lady glared, "I do not wish to hear about that night again. You have insulted my son's reputation with irrefutable evidence. What use is your argument? As a man, do you not have any sense of responsibility?" The old lady walked lightly, her cane tapping sharply against the ground.
Bai Miaodan reluctantly took out the antidote, gritting her teeth and glaring at Yue Kang, who closed his eyes and ignored her.
Bring it here without delay
The door to the shed was opened, interrupting Yue Kang YY's thoughts
Yue Kang, who had just walked through the gates of hell again, had not yet recovered from the shock he had just experienced. He was once again bound hand and foot, lying on the ground and gasping for breath. He had already taken the antidote for the snake venom and believed that he would be fine. However, every time he closed his eyes, the image of a snake head with eyes would appear in his mind. It was truly terrifying beyond measure.
Before long, the old lady and Sister Rong appeared before everyone. Glancing at the prostrate Yue Kang on the ground, the hatred in her eyes from last night had not faded. "Dan'er, bring the antidote."
Grandma ... ... '' Bai Miaodan wanted to say something else
Miss San's arrogance and overbearing nature are beyond what Yue Kang can comprehend
The old lady handed the antidote to the guard, saying, "Go back and help him take the antidote. No tricks allowed. Take him away."
Yue Kang was perplexed by the question. Why would she ask about a man who had sullied her granddaughter? "I... oh no, my surname is Yue, and my given name is Kang. My hometown is in a very distant place, where I no longer have any relatives or books. Madam, I would like to clarify that I truly did nothing that night." Indeed, Yue Kang's hometown was in a place far removed from this era, let alone any relatives.
You need not say anything further; it is just that you are an orphan without a family. Tomorrow, I will arrange for someone to release you. Prepare yourself, for three days from now, I require you to marry Xi'er and join the Bai family.
"No," Bai Miaodan stubbornly turned her head away
The clear view of the small white fangs of the snake, with its tongue, just a centimeter away from Yue Kang's face, constantly flicking in and out. A pair of snake eyes fixed intently on Yue Kang, the fear more intense than having two swords poised at his neck, leaving Yue Kang feeling a chill down his spine
Bai Miaodan's face was filled with grievance. She did not dare to act out in front of her grandmother. "Grandma, is it wrong for me to bite him with a snake for insulting my sister's purity? Shouldn't my sister be protected from being bullied?" As she spoke, tears welled up in the little girl's eyes. "You still blame me; I just feel sorry for my sister and wanted to help her vent her anger. My sister is already pitiful enough." Her voice grew increasingly strained, a sign that she was about to burst into tears. "You still blame me; I just feel sorry for my sister and wanted to help her vent her anger. My sister is already pitiful enough." Her voice grew increasingly strained, a sign that she was about to burst into tears.
I ... ... '' Yue Kang was about to speak, but was interrupted.
The golden-scaled, smooth-eyed snake, coiled around Yue Kang's abdomen, flicked its scarlet tongue incessantly, creating a cool and slippery sensation. Yue Kang's entire body was tense with nerves; few people are unafraid of snakes. He couldn't fathom where that damned Third Miss had obtained it, and she was audacious enough to carry it with her.
Yue Kang was first startled and then delighted. Is there really such a thing? Getting married? Yue Kang did not feel that he had stumbled upon a bargain; there was definitely a conspiracy at play. What pleased him was that being released meant he would not be bound forever, which significantly increased the chances of escape
After the old lady entered, she appeared calm, and her gaze was no longer so fierce. "What is your surname and given name? Where do you reside? How many people are in your household? How old are you? Please answer each question for me."
After the four guards escorted Yue Kang away, the old lady said, "Dan, you are being too reckless." She sternly criticized.
Miss San involuntarily took two steps back under his murderous gaze, "Hmph, who allowed you, you bastard, to bully my sister? If you shout again, do you believe I will have Da Huang bite you again?"
The youthful version of Diao Chan, the little Lolita of Shenma, are all just fleeting illusions. They are simply fierce and malevolent, akin to a femme fatale. Yue Kang has finally understood the meaning of that term
