Ahui felt like his heart was about to explode.
His eyes were wide open, and his arms, clutching the rice cooker, trembled uncontrollably. His gaze darted around, but he dared not look towards the door. He desperately wanted to faint, but lately his courage had grown somewhat, and his tolerance for anything was increasing; even if he wanted to, he couldn't.
He moved his long legs as if stepping on ants, inch by inch toward Silver Ring, seeking protection.
A snake head bigger than a pig's head, even bigger than the python in Anaconda. This thing is huge; one open mouth and it could swallow a person whole... Waaaaah, help!
“Snake, snake, aunt, aunt, aunt…” Ah Hui trembled with fear, swallowed hard, and stammered for a long time before finally managing to utter a complete sentence to Yin Huan.
Seeing Ah Hui's cowardly appearance, Yin Huan twitched her forehead, a hint of dissatisfaction rising in her bright, watery eyes.
"Auntie what? You've lived with us for so long, how come you're still so timid? The green python doesn't eat people, why are you trembling? Hurry up and bring the food up, I'm starving." Yin Huan sighed, gave Ahui a disappointed look, flicked her tail, and slowly walked to the dining table.
Ahui was covered in cold sweat, both shocked and frightened. What time is it now, and why are we still eating...?
Wait, the Green Python...
Brother Qing!
Seemingly remembering something, Ahui was startled, looked up, and stared in astonishment at the snake's head by the door.
Seeing Yin Huan sit down at the table, he somehow found the strength to jump up and down, holding the rice cooker, until he was behind Yin Huan... He was so scared that his legs went weak and he couldn't move, so he could only jump.
"Brother Qing!" Ah Hui called out tentatively at the snake's head, terrified.
The green python gave a faint "hmm" and flicked its thick forked tongue: "Leave me a chicken leg."
After Ahui's interruption, Qingmang didn't want to discuss the man's identity with Yinhuan anymore. They could discuss it again when Heixiong returned that evening. Qingmang poked his head back into the room, his sinister snake eyes suddenly sweeping over Ahui, and said in a chilling tone, "Come inside after you finish eating."
This kid isn't steady enough; his overreaction is really inappropriate.
“Yes, Ah Hui should go inside too. He’s too timid; he needs some training,” Yin Huan nodded in agreement.
This is my personal chef; he can't be so afraid of snakes. She's a snake too, and with his cowardly fear of snakes, how can we possibly live happily together?
"What?"
After recovering from the shock of the giant snake being Brother Qing's disappearance, Ah Hui immediately became stunned again.
Grandma, please spare my life.
Regardless of whether the guy inside is Brother Qing, with whom he's shared drinks or arm-in-arm, he doesn't want to face him alone because of his terrifying snake head.
Silver Ring's words filled Ah Hui with fear from the bottom of his heart. As if he had thought of something, he straightened his back and said in a strong voice.
"Grandma, I don't need any training, really. I'm very brave. Look, I didn't faint, I'm standing tall, and I didn't run away."
Yin Huan nodded: "Yes, I'm not dizzy. Then why are your legs shaking?"
Ahui lowered his head, glanced at his unruly legs, clenched his fist, and slammed it into his thighs twice.
"It's stopped shaking."
He snorted, "No way, absolutely not! Even if the snake inside is Brother Qing, I still won't go."
No wonder Brother Qing was so gloomy; it turns out he was a snake, a huge snake that could swallow a living person whole. That's terrifying.
"Hiss—" Hearing the muffled sound of flesh being pounded, Yin Huan gasped, looked up at the silly-looking Ahui: "Are you stupid, or are you just dumbfounded?"
That's so forceful, it must hurt so much!
Ahui: Never mind if I'm stupid or dull, just don't stay in the same room as Brother Qing.
This is terrifying... Does it even allow people to live?
Yin Huan sighed, pointed to her waist and lifted her skirt to reveal her tail, which had been hidden by a trick: "Alright then, if you won't stay in the same room as your Brother Qing, then you can stay in the same room as me."
The truth hidden beneath the skirt made Ahui's eyes dart around.
Ahui was horrified: "You, you're a snake too."
Has he fallen into a snake pit? Could it be that Brother Black Bear isn't a black bear, but a snake?
Silver Ring nodded, a smile in her eyes; she loved hearing people call her a snake.
She is a silver-ringed snake, not some Nuwa.
"Are you a silver-ringed snake?" Ah Hui wasn't stupid. After recovering from his initial fear, he immediately guessed her former race from the name "silver ringed snake."
"You're so clever." Silver Ring: "I am a silver ring snake."
Ah Hui lowered his head and glanced at the little tail swaying under Yin Huan's skirt. Miraculously, the last bit of fear in his heart was wiped away.
There was no way around it; its short tail was wagging so enthusiastically that it didn't look threatening at all. Its pure white, shimmering scales even had a silvery sheen, making it completely unlike a snake.
Silver Ring: "From now on, you'll stay in the same room with me. Look at my tail more often, and you'll gradually become bolder."
Ah Hui was her cook. Unlike other humans, since he didn't want to share a room with the green python, she would do the extra work and train him personally.
"I'm actually quite brave."
The silver ring's appearance was so deceptive that Ahui wasn't afraid at all; in fact, he found it strangely cute. He put the rice cooker on the table and touched his chest.
The fact that he can stand and talk like this shows how bold he is.
Ahui was very fortunate that he had been emboldened for two years by the haunted hotel in his hometown. If it were someone else, they would probably have been scared out of their wits long ago.
