Chapter 182 Lighting the Fire, Stewing Snake Soup

"Sister Luo Xi, this poisonous snake is very dangerous. Its venom is extremely potent. Kill it or throw it away immediately."

Xie Hanchuan was not angry or embarrassed by Lin Luoxi's mockery. Instead, he was worried that Lin Luoxi would be hurt by the venomous snake on her wrist.

He was terrified of the bamboo viper that was spitting its tongue at him, yet he couldn't help but want to go forward and tear the bamboo viper off Lin Luoxi's wrist.

"Brother Han Chuan, look where it's dangerous! It's clearly very cute!" Lin Luoxi looked at Xie Han Chuan and was genuinely frightened by the bamboo viper in his hand. She took two steps back.

After standing two meters away from Xie Hanchuan, he gently tapped the bamboo viper with his left index finger, which had its little head sticking up.

The bamboo viper seemed to know that Lin Luoxi was praising it, so it poked at Lin Luoxi and pressed its head against Lin Luoxi's pulse.

"Listen to me, give it to me right now, I'll help you deal with it."

"If you want a highly toxic poison, I'll find it for you..." Xie Hanchuan's heart was in his throat when he saw Lin Luoxi's dangerous actions, and he tentatively discussed it with Lin Luoxi.

"No, Brother Hanchuan, I think this bamboo leaf green is just fine." Lin Luoxi refused Xie Hanchuan's words without thinking, and quickly moved her body to go home.

"Brother Hanchuan, it's getting late, you should go back and rest." Lin Luoxi knew that Xie Hanchuan was concerned about her, but she was capable of preventing Zhu Yeqing from harming her, so she naturally didn't want to waste any more time with Xie Hanchuan.

"You, you, this, this..." Xie Hanchuan was a little angry to see that Lin Luoxi still knew to avoid him, but he couldn't really do anything to Lin Luoxi, so he hesitated for a long time.

"Brother Hanchuan, the fact that Zhuyeqing is so obedient to me means I have a way to tame it, so you don't need to worry." After saying that, Lin Luoxi swung her ponytail and walked towards her room.

"Sigh!" Xie Hanchuan stood at the entrance of the Lin family courtyard, looking at Lin Luoxi who had already entered the room, sighed helplessly, turned around, and left the vicinity of the Lin family.

"Master, what are you worried about? You know how capable Miss Lin is. Since she can get Zhu Yeqing so close to her, she must have extraordinary methods..." Xie Yanli couldn't help but say a few words when he saw Xie Hanchuan looking worried.

"You don't know anything. I'm worried about why Luo Xi is different from other girls; even her favorite pets are so different from those of ordinary girls..."

As Lin Luoxi grew older and her tastes became more and more unique, Xie Hanchuan grew to like her more and more.

On the way home —

"Hey Yanli, go out and run some errands for me. I heard that the people in Miao territory are the best at raising poisons. Get me a few kinds, I need them..." Xie Hanchuan thought that as long as the poisons he found were unique, he would definitely win the favor of his sweetheart.

"This, this, Master, I just remembered that there's something you asked me to do that I haven't finished yet. I'll be going now."

Good heavens! You two like strong flavors, can you please not involve him? He's scared too!

It was bad enough that he was chasing wild rabbits in the mountains in the dead of night, but now he's being asked to go to Miao territory, a place teeming with Gu worms, to find poisonous creatures? Does his master want him to live too long?

Upon thinking of the terrifying Miao region, Xie Yanli quickly made an excuse and made a hasty escape.

Unaware of Xie Hanchuan and Xie Yanli's ulterior motives, Lin Luoxi saw that the oil lamps were still lit in Lin Wenqian and Lin Wentao's rooms. Instead of disturbing them, she turned around and went back to her own room.

Lin Luoning, who was sitting on the bed, was so quiet that Lin Luoxi's loud entrance didn't wake her up. It was clear that she had been very busy during the day and was now sleeping soundly, like a little piglet.

Listening to Lin Luoning's steady breathing, Lin Luoxi lit a calming incense stick she had made herself by the window. As Lin Luoning's breathing became even more steady, Lin Luoxi swaggered into the space.

As soon as Lin Luoxi stood still in the space, the bamboo leaf viper wrapped around her right wrist couldn't wait to leap off her wrist and quickly flew towards Ling's direction.

"Stop right there!" The bamboo viper was fast, but Lin Luoxi was even faster. She quickly reached out her right hand and grabbed the bamboo viper's tail with lightning speed, pulling it back.

"Hiss hiss hiss..." Just as it was excitedly trying to rush to the water source it had been longing for, the bamboo viper, whose little tail had been grabbed by Lin Luoxi, was provoked again and stuck out its tongue at Lin Luoxi, trying to bite her.

This damned human! It has put up with him for so long. It only obeyed him because of those spiritual waters.

Now that it has so much spiritual water here, it has decided to stop tolerating it and kill this human. Then all the spiritual water in this place will be itss.

Lin Luoxi had already anticipated the bamboo viper's movements when it lunged at her.

With his left hand, he quickly slid across his belt, pulled out the silver needle given to him by Doctor Yang, and swiftly stabbed it into the seven-inch mark of the bamboo viper.

The bamboo viper, which was baring its fangs at Lin Luoxi with arrogance, didn't expect Lin Luoxi to actually kill it. Its body went limp and it collapsed into Lin Luoxi's palm, no longer having the strength to struggle.

"Hmph, weren't you so arrogant just now? Come on, come and bite me! Believe me or not, I'll stew you. I've never had snake soup before in my life. A bamboo viper like you, who's lived this long, must taste delicious..."

Lin Luoxi didn't care that the bamboo leaf green was already dizzy and powerless in her hands.

They tossed the bamboo viper from left to right, then from right to left, until the viper's eyes rolled back and it foamed at the mouth before stopping.

Not only that, but she also muttered threats under her breath as she walked towards the place where she had previously cooked over a fire. She opened the pot lid, threw the bamboo leaf green into the pot, quickly added water, and started a fire.

Today, the bamboo viper has become so audacious as to turn against her. She'll teach it a lesson and see if it dares to betray her again.

When Lin Luoxi threw the bamboo viper into the earthenware pot, it was smugly thinking that Lin Luoxi wouldn't dare to do anything to it, and it even started swimming around inside the pot.

In half an hour, the water in the earthenware pot slowly heated up, and the bamboo viper swam around quite happily.

Fifteen minutes later, the bamboo viper finally realized something was wrong. It discovered that the water in the jar was getting too hot, and its skin couldn't withstand the temperature; it was about to be scalded and peel off.

Only then did it realize that Lin Luoxi really intended to make it into snake soup, and it began to frantically ram the earthenware pot, trying to escape.

"Hmph, you've already figured it out? Too late. I must try the snake soup today."

Seeing the earthenware pot shaking violently, Lin Luoxi picked up a brick-sized stone and placed it on top of the pot, stabilizing the precariously swaying vessel.

No matter how hard the bamboo leaf poison was thrown into the earthenware pot, it couldn't knock it over. The water inside had become even hotter. There was no other way but to reveal its trump card.
