Chapter 953 He did it on purpose
"Ahhh, Master, help me!"
"Master, Senior Uncle Han, can we go somewhere else? Oh God!"
"Master, my goodness, there are so many snakes here! I'm terrified of snakes! Please, take us away from here!"
"Master Han, Senior Uncle Han, Master Han, please take us away quickly! This place is too... too unsuitable for us to live in. Let's find another place, even in a tree!"
Song Chunxue thought she was the only one who was timid, but she didn't expect the other children to be even more frightened. They all clung to the legs of the adults and begged, resorting to all sorts of tantrums and whining.
But Master Han remained unmoved.
Lord Zhao and Taoist Zhang could only grit their teeth and watch as the children were so frightened that tears and snot streamed down their faces, unable to utter a single word.
Since Master Han brought them here, it means they have no choice but to stay here tonight.
Finally, Master Han moved. He squatted down leisurely to the side, and as soon as he reached out, several snakes as thick as chopsticks crawled up his fingers.
"Ughhhhh!" Tu Dan'er roared the loudest, crawling directly between Zhang Daoren's legs and pulling on his clothes to cover himself. "Master, save me!"
"You brat, ouch!" Zhang Chengxuan angrily lowered his head and twisted Tudan'er's head. "Are you crazy? Do you want to cripple your master?"
"Pfft~" The scene was so funny that Song Chunxue couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Lord Zhao was in no better shape; his two legs were held tightly by the arms of his two good apprentices.
He stared at Master Han, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.
“We have no choice but to stay here tonight. My informant just reported that those people are frantically searching for us tonight, trying to take advantage of the situation and bite us hard. Tomorrow, the commotion here will definitely attract the attention of those above.”
Master Han said slowly and deliberately, "Don't worry, these snakes won't bite you."
Lord Zhao looked around and, despite feeling a chill, asked, "Master Han, is there really nowhere else we can go? As long as there aren't so many snakes, anything is fine."
Master Han raised an eyebrow. "Are you afraid of snakes?"
“I’m not afraid of the big ones, but…” He glanced at the small snakes darting out of the snake hole on the wall and quickly looked away. “So many tangled little snakes, like an unsolvable ball of yarn, and the ball of yarn can even move on its own. I… I don’t think anyone would be afraid of this sight.”
Master Han handed him a completely black snake, saying, "Touch it, and I'll think about finding a different place to live."
Lord Zhao leaned back, his mouth tightly shut, and his teeth clenched, as if afraid that the snake might accidentally crawl into his mouth.
"What, you don't dare?" Master Han moved the snake closer, and Lord Zhao instinctively leaned back.
The apprentices, who had been crying and wailing, gradually quieted down and began to watch the show with great interest.
It's just snakes. With Master Han around, even if they feel uncomfortable, they can't bite them.
They may look scary, but compared to the evil things outside, they are just little snakes that haven't yet developed intelligence.
Moreover, Lord Zhao seemed to be even more afraid than they were.
"Don't dare touch it?" Master Han's lips curled slightly as he took the little snake back from its head. "Then stay here."
“Wait a minute, I dare,” Lord Zhao said calmly, reaching out to touch the little snake’s head. “It’s icy cold, just like you.”
"..."
"..."
"..."
Oh my god!
Lord Zhao is too outspoken.
The children clung tightly to their master's legs, pretending not to hear, thinking to themselves that they shouldn't be here, they should be under the car.
Song Chunxue looked up at the cave entrances around her, but was so frightened by the slithering snake shadows that she closed her eyes again.
"Very well, you dare to touch the tiger's backside, Lord Zhao. As expected of someone raised in the royal family and nobility of the capital, you have guts." Master Han grabbed the back of his neck, pushing him forward with his body half a head taller than Lord Zhao. "When did you ever touch me?"
Lord Zhao looked at the narrow passageway in front of him, his whole body filled with resistance.
"Master Han is touching me, how can I tell if you're cold or hot?" Seeing the snakes on the ground automatically making way for him, Lord Zhao's hair stood on end.
Master Han released his neck and saw a group of people following them furtively.
Song Chunxue suppressed the smile on her lips and looked down at her toes.
Soon, the area in front of them became much more spacious.
"Ah, snake, snake, snake!"
Song Chunxue felt a chill on the back of her neck. She raised her hand to touch it and found it was a snake. She was so frightened that she ran forward and begged for mercy with a sob in her voice, "Master Han, please, be magnanimous."
"Ah, ah, ah! A snake!"
"Mother, Father, I want to go home..."
Wuji and Tudan shook off the little snakes that had fallen on them and ran forward like madmen.
The others pretended to be calm, thinking that this was probably just a trick by Master Han to scare people.
He did it on purpose.
Master Zhang walked briskly with his eyes fixed ahead, his neck aching from the stiffness. He walked forward expressionlessly, and even when a snake fell on him, he simply picked it up and tossed it aside.
It's so frustrating, so damn frustrating, but who told them they were on Master Han's turf right now?
That heartless guy, I knew I shouldn't have helped him.
Then he saw a stone wall blocking his way.
Master Han raised his hand and pressed it against the wall. The next moment, the stone wall opened from the middle.
"Hurry, hurry, get inside!"
Tu Dan'er darted faster than anyone else, and in the blink of an eye, he had slipped through the stone gate.
Master Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that at least the man had a conscience.
Looking at the clean and bright stone cave in front of her, which even had windows, Song Chunxue couldn't help but smile.
Only when the stone cave closed behind them, separating them from the dense, unbearable snake pits outside, did everyone breathe a sigh of relief, and their stiff expressions eased.
Master Han glanced at them, and they all gave awkward smiles.
"Promising."
Then, Master Han strode towards the stone cave to the north.
Lord Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and sat down in the nearest chair, muttering to himself, "Han Qingfeng is playing us for fools. Even confronting those demons and monsters wasn't this scary. He's repaying kindness with enmity."
Master Zhang sat down opposite him, feeling a chill still rising from his back, and it took him a long time to speak.
"This stone cave is so cleverly designed that even a great immortal would not be able to find it. From the outside, it looks like a cliff with lush vegetation, but sitting inside, you can see a stunning view. It is a great place to cultivate your mind and body."
Lord Zhao wanted to retort, but when he looked up and saw Master Han personally carrying a pot of tea, he wisely shut his mouth.
“No snakes will come in here,” he said, placing the teapot on the table. “But you seem to have forgotten that I am the biggest snake here. Aren’t you afraid?”
Song Chunxue was afraid that he would turn into a snake again and scare people, so she raised her hand to stop him. "Master Han, Senior Han, as you know, ordinary people are afraid of snakes, but you have now cultivated into human form, haven't you?"
"But you're right, we're not so afraid of big snakes, but it's hard not to be afraid of a small one that's so agile. Like if a caterpillar accidentally fell into the back of your collar, would you be scared?"
P.S.: I suddenly realized in the middle of the night that I missed updating a chapter. Sorry.
