The banded krait poked its head out of the grass, its red forked tongue flicking in and out.
Soon, it sensed the presence of its prey, crawled out of the grass, and scurried along the beach toward its prey, leaving a winding trail on the sand.
None of the guests sitting together noticed the presence of the banded krait.
Xiao Shaojun glared angrily at Fu Bai. Clearly, Fu Bai's repeated disrespect had thoroughly enraged him. However, due to the presence of the cameras, Xiao Shaojun remained silent, giving Fu Bai only a cold look before falling silent.
Fu Bai didn't care about Xiao Shaojun's feelings. He held Xie Chen's hand, preventing Xie Chen from taking the lead.
No need.
The atmosphere at the scene was somewhat tense.
The game of Truth or Dare seems to have come to an end.
Chen Lan quietly watched everything unfold before her, her gaze deep as she observed Zheng Siyu and Xiao Shaojun, her former suitors, now focused solely on Fu Bai.
He glanced at Jiang Qi without making it obvious.
Jiang Qi seemed somewhat absent-minded, her fingers tightly intertwined, unconsciously biting her nails.
Chen Lan could tell that Jiang Qi was scared.
Suddenly, Jiang Qi seemed to see something, her eyes widened abruptly, filled with fear and regret.
She hesitated, her mouth slightly open, her breathing rapid.
Following Jiang Qi's gaze, Chen Lan vaguely saw a silver-ringed snake crawling forward on the beach behind Fu Bai.
Chen Lan raised an eyebrow and a slight smile appeared on her lips.
He pretended not to see anything and looked away, then turned his gaze back to Jiang Qi.
At this moment, Jiang Qi's gaze hardened, as if she had made a decision.
She looked at Fu Bai and said, "Ups and downs..."
"Jiang Qi."
Chen Lan interrupted Jiang Qi and called her by name.
Jiang Qi subconsciously looked towards Chen Lan in the direction of the sound.
Upon looking at her, she met Chen Lan's dark eyes, and her reason seemed to be sucked into an abyss. She instantly forgot who she was about to call out to or what she was about to say.
Chen Lan leaned forward and said casually, "I have a question I'd like to ask you."
Jiang Qi replied, "Go ahead and ask."
Jiang Qi was no longer absent-minded or distracted; she immediately returned to normal.
Shu Changchang, who was not far away, frowned, feeling that Jiang Qi was acting strangely tonight.
At the same time, a sharp alarm sounded in Fu Bai's sea of consciousness, and 748 issued an urgent reminder:
[White Light! There's a highly venomous banded krait behind you, and it seems to be targeting you. It's very close! Run for your life!]
Fu Bai remained calm: "I know."
748: [You know?]
"I heard it a long time ago."
His hearing was very sharp; he had already heard the sound of the banded krait flicking its tongue. Then, the sound of the banded krait's scales rubbing against the sand was even clearer to Fu Bai.
Fu Bai had already determined the target by observing the silver-ringed snake's movement.
Thinking back to the drink Jiang Qi had spilled on him earlier, Fu Bai already had a guess in his mind.
But he was not alarmed, as if the creature that saw him as prey was not a highly venomous banded krait.
748 got angry.
[You knew all along? If you knew, why didn't you run away sooner? Don't you know the banded krait is a highly venomous snake? One bite from it could be fatal!]
748 was cursing and swearing in his floating sea of consciousness.
Fu Bai, however, still had the mind to tease: "748, are you worried about me?"
Who's worried about you?
What I'm worried about is the mission itself!
Fu Bai smiled and reassured him, "Alright, don't worry, it won't bite me."
Almost at the same time that Fu Bai had just finished speaking to 748, the silver-ringed snake crawled to Fu Bai's feet.
The cold snake tongue had even touched the pale skin of my thigh.
Just as Fu Bai said, the silver-ringed snake did not open its mouth to bite Fu Bai; instead, it affectionately rubbed its head against Fu Bai's thigh.
748's heart was in his throat.
Upon witnessing the banded krait's movements, 748 was dumbfounded, speechless, and incredulous.
748: [Why doesn't it bite you?]
Fu Bai replied matter-of-factly, "I'm just very charming."
748：::::::
Are you trying to say that you're so charming that even a snake can't escape your allure?
748 really wanted to refute Fu Bai, but seeing the Silver Ring Snake's intimate way of snuggling against Fu Bai, he couldn't bring himself to say anything in response.
This silver-ringed snake seems really friendly towards Fu Bai.
748 pouted.
It must be stupid to worry about Fu Bai being bitten by a snake.
Fu Bai and 748 had only been talking for a minute or two when the silver-ringed snake came out of the darkness into the light. Its silver rings were quite eye-catching, and it was discovered not long afterward.
Xie Chen was the first to discover the banded krait.
Upon seeing the snake, he was initially surprised, but instead of reacting rashly, he observed it quietly.
Before the snake could even crawl onto Fu Bai, Xie Chen received a subtle hint from Fu Bai's eyes.
Fu Bai told him not to worry about the silver-ringed snake.
Xie Chen didn't know what Fu Bai was planning to do, and he was worried that the snake might hurt Fu Bai, but he was willing to trust Fu Bai, so he could only suppress the urge to take Fu Bai away.
Even so, Xie Chen was tense all over, holding a barbecue skewer in one hand.
Once the banded krait makes a biting motion, the iron skewer in his hand will be driven into the krait's head.
Afterwards, the silver-ringed snake's affection for Fu Bai surprised Xie Chen, yet it also felt somewhat expected.
Xie Chen relaxed, but still held the iron skewer in his hand.
