Immediately afterward, the little boy raised his head, giggling happily, and pounced on his older brother's lap. Suddenly, the snake basket behind him collapsed, and the venomous snakes inside darted out with a whoosh.
Perhaps because it was moving too fast, Huo Chengche didn't see it clearly, but he felt that the snake's body seemed to be trembling quite a bit.
The poor little venomous snake in another snake basket next to it didn't even need the little baby to lift it to scare it; it immediately and wisely darted out and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The mischievous little boy heard the noise, his watery eyes crinkling with laughter as he looked behind him. He laughed even more happily in his childish voice, tugging at his prince brother's sleeve and jumping around, sweetly and affectionately saying, "Prince brother, I want a hug!"
"Okay," Huo Chengche said with a helpless smile, bending down to hug his fierce and domineering little dumpling into his arms, gently wiggling his little bottom, and receiving a cute "kiss" from his little dumpling.
Looking at his adorable little tyrant, the boy smiled happily. However, when he caught a glimpse of the mess of minced meat on the ground, his deep eyes narrowed, and his aura became sharp.
He carried the little baby clinging to his arms as he walked back. When he slowly reached the mouth of the mountain pass, his narrow eyes swept across the crowd, taking in the stunned expressions of everyone standing there.
The people are still the same.
Liang Sheng, huddled at the mouth of the mountain valley, shivering, craned his neck to look at them. His shifty-eyed appearance was truly comical.
The Tongyou Forest, not far away, was obscured by the trees, so they couldn't see what had just happened inside. Now that they saw them return safely, they obviously breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, Huo Chengche turned his cold and deep gaze to the government officials and constables in the woods.
Their location was on higher ground, so they could definitely see what had just happened in the ravine.
At this moment, when they saw Huo Chengche carrying a little ancestor who had scared away a snake, their stunned faces gradually showed fear.
As Huo Chengche's gaze fell upon them, they all moved back in fear and trepidation. The knives that had been thrown behind them at some point were picked up and pointed at them.
Seeing the reactions of these people, Huo Chengche narrowed his deep eyes and curled his thin lips into a cold, sarcastic smile.
The little dumpling, with a cheerful and sweet smile, was rolling around when she saw this scene and felt the fear and malice these people had towards her. The happy and innocent smile on her face also dimmed.
The little baby, unaware of what she had done wrong, drooped her little ears, her misty eyes innocently turning round and round, and snuggled into her older brother's arms, looking aggrieved.
"Brother Crown Prince, weren't they afraid of those snakes? Why did they dislike Nian Nian now that she helped them drive them away...?"
Her soft, sweet little voice sounded pitiful.
Hearing the pitiful little voice, Huo Chengche's brows furrowed even more fiercely, and his aura pressed down relentlessly. His sharp eyes swept across the area, causing everything in their path to tremble.
Then, the young man withdrew his cold gaze and glared directly at the prefect of the capital who was cowering to the side.
Liang Sheng's heart was pounding so hard it stopped, his face was pale, and he was stunned with fear. When he looked up, he was caught off guard by someone's murderous and sharp eyes, which made him shudder and instantly clear his mind.
