"Senior brother." Gu Liyan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Mo Han return.
The moment they saw Mo Han walk in, Wang Qi and Wang Meng's expressions changed slightly, because Mo Han was holding more than a dozen snakes in her hands, and judging from their motionless state, they were obviously dead!
Seeing the changes in Wang Qi and Wang Meng's expressions, Mo Han smiled and said, "City Lord, Miss Wang and I need not panic. I have already executed all the living harmful creatures on the spot. Through my investigation of your residence, I did not expect to discover such danger. I have come to realize that there are crises both inside and outside the royal city! Look, in addition to these, there are nearly a hundred snakes. My men are not enough to handle them!"
A smile appeared on Gu Liyan's lips.
Mo Han squinted at Wang Meng and said meaningfully, "Looks like I accidentally stirred up a snake's nest, City Lord, don't you think?"
Wang Meng's face darkened. "Commander Mo has truly done a good deed for my royal family! Shall we ask for a reward?"
"Oh dear, that's too kind! These hundreds of snakes don't seem to be poisonous, so why don't you give them to me to help my junior brother recover!" Mo Han laughed heartily. "Speaking of which, there really are a lot. Come to my place at noon today, and I'll personally make you snake soup!"
Wang Meng's face was gloomy, and his chest heaved, but he still managed to keep his composure and smiled as he agreed, "I don't need to go, let Wang Qi go!"

Wang Qi gritted her teeth and said, "I didn't say I wouldn't go, I'm going!"
Gu Liyan smiled and said, "See you at noon!"
As they spoke, they turned and left with Mo Han. Before they had gone far, Wang Qi and Wang Meng overheard their conversation:
"Junior brother, are you feeling much better?"
"I got along really well with the city lord! He even promised to find me a wife!"
"Don't let him find her! If he knew how to find his own wife, he wouldn't have died so young!"
"That's right! The city lord said he would marry Wang Qi to you, senior brother. It would be better if you didn't agree!"
"Yes, you're right. What if you bring me bad luck and I die?"
After the two left the palace, Wang Meng finally couldn't help but slam his fist on the table and exclaim, "Those two cunning foxes!"
