Jiang Ke didn't speak, but his long sword lunged forward—
"Snap!"
The long sword pierced deeply into a tree behind Sang Yan.
Along with the body of a snake.
The snake was black and white with a triangular head, flicking its tongue.
Struck by the sword, the snake coiled in pain, still attempting to struggle and escape, but it was unsuccessful.
Following Jiang Ke's gaze, Sang Yan really saw the snake and, frightened, shrank back into his embrace.
"Are we sure we want to sleep here? What if there are more snakes?"
She already detested the harsh outdoor life, and now seeing a snake intensified her aversion and resentment towards Jiang Ke, "Why are you doing this to me? You've had your good days, why must I suffer? Jiang Ke, please, take me back, okay? I don't want to live like this. I've had enough."
Jiang Ke held her head, pressed her into his embrace, and said softly, "I will make sure you live well. Just endure a little longer."
