Li Zhu spoke very tactfully because he was afraid that the venomous snakes around him might kill him if they were unhappy. Even if they didn't bite him to death, having so many snakes crawling on him was a terrifying thing.
"Who said I'm a snake?"
The snake's voice rang out again, but this time the voice sounded somewhat familiar to Li Zhu!
"Haven't you been communicating with me the whole time? Do you think I'm blind?"
Li Zhu looked at the snake in front of him and asked in confusion!
"Are you stupid? You really think you can communicate with snakes? Do you think snakes can speak human language, or you can speak snake language?"
The voice was becoming increasingly familiar, and the teasing words made Li Zhu realize immediately that he had been tricked. He looked up and saw Xiaolongnu standing not far away, holding a flute and laughing heartily at him…
"Little Dragon Girl, are you playing me?"
Li Zhu roared angrily, mainly because he was embarrassed. He, a dignified transmigrator, had actually been teased by a little girl. It was too shameful if word got out...
"Brother Zhu, don't you even consider how humans communicate with snakes? You've misunderstood, okay? When did I ever trick you..."
Xiaolongnu spoke righteously, but she couldn't hide the smile in her eyes. Being able to fool Li Zhu was a pleasant thing...
Li Zhu rolled his eyes. He now understood why these snakes would do something as perverse as biting someone's butt. It must be because Xiaolongnu had learned some of his bad habits, since he was the first one to make Shi Jingtang experience this kind of pain...
Li Zhu sighed, never expecting the root of the problem to be with himself!
"You're ruthless. With your interference, those who were shooting arrows have all escaped..."
Li Zhu said helplessly, what could he do? She's just a child, were you really going to hit her? The main problem was that he couldn't bring himself to do it…
It was absolutely not because she could control snakes and he couldn't defeat her, absolutely not...
"Don't worry, they're all dead..."
After making a face, Little Dragon Girl said mischievously!
Only then did Li Zhu realize that Xiaolongnu had just saved him, and that she could control snakes—he had no idea she possessed such an ability.
So many people were killed without hesitation; this is even more ruthless than him…
From this moment on, he needed to re-evaluate Xiaolongnu. He hadn't been able to imagine the Dragon King's power before, and therefore hadn't realized that Xiaolongnu might also be a master. Now, through Xiaolongnu, he understood that the Dragon King was definitely not simple; to raise a child into such a powerful expert was no ordinary feat…
"That's good…"
Li Zhu nodded in relief…
Little Dragon Girl played her flute, and the swarm of snakes slowly retreated. Li Zhu could faintly hear a murmur of conversation.
"This idiot actually thinks he can communicate with us?"
"Yeah, this guy's really stupid, like he can understand snakes talking..."
"I don't know what the master was thinking, saving such an idiot..."
"How foolish..."
Li Zhu was stunned for a moment. He looked at the departing snake, then at Xiaolongnu, and couldn't help but ask...
"Little Dragon Girl, you didn't say anything just now, did you?"
"No, what's wrong..."
Little Dragon Girl looked at him with a blank expression, not knowing why he asked that question!
"That's the snakes insulting me; they're calling me stupid..."
Li Zhu pointed angrily at the departing snakes and said, "I'm the Crown Prince, how could I be looked down upon by a bunch of snakes? This is utterly humiliating..."
"Swearing? You're saying a snake swears? Are you alright?"
Little Dragon Girl looked at Li Zhu with concern, then said somewhat anxiously.
"Oh no, Brother Zhu has been beaten senseless, what are we going to do..."
"I'm not stupid, these snakes are calling me stupid..."
Li Zhu quickly explained, "We can't let this label of 'idiot' stick..."
"Holy crap...did this idiot understand that we were insulting him?"
A shocked voice came from the swarm of snakes!
"Impossible. Normal people can't understand our snake language, let alone idiots..."
"I heard you, it was you, you bamboo viper, you called me an idiot..."
Li Zhu pointed to a bamboo viper that was at least three meters long and said, "He was the one who cursed the most just now!"
"Wow, this idiot can actually understand us! Come on, let's all yell at him..."
Perhaps having heard the bamboo viper's command, all the departing snakes immediately stopped, raised their heads, and shook them, all saying in unison to Li Zhu, "..."
"Fool!"
Then they quickly disappeared from their sight...
"You...you..."
Li Zhu pointed at the departing snake, stammering for a long time without being able to say what he wanted to say. He was too shocked; he felt like his world had been turned upside down…
"Brother Zhu, what's wrong?"
Following Li Zhu's finger, Xiaolongnu looked but saw nothing; the snake had vanished without a trace...
"Your snakes are all calling me an idiot..."
It took Li Zhu a long time to recover before he was able to recount how he had just been mocked by a group of snakes…
Little Dragon Girl looked at the empty street in confusion, thinking, "Does this fool really believe he can understand snake language? I've already told him it's fake, why is he still like this? Has he really gone mad?"
"Brother Zhu, are you alright? Are you feeling unwell?"
Xiaolongnu didn't dwell on the matter, and even felt that she had gone a bit too far. She never expected that her little prank would make Li Zhu take it so seriously...
"Little Dragon Girl, you don't believe me? I really heard it, those snakes called me a fool..."
Seeing that Li Zhu wouldn't give up, and Xiaolongnu just staring at him like that, Li Zhu was so anxious that he scratched his head and cheeks. But he quickly realized that Xiaolongnu's eyes were like she was looking at an idiot. Had he really become an idiot?
He looked himself up and down, realizing that his actions just now were indeed a tiny bit foolish…
He also thought that what he just saw might have been an illusion. How could anyone in this world be able to understand what a snake is saying?
Li Zhu chuckled self-deprecatingly, then looked at Xiaolongnu and said...
"Let's go back..."
On the way, Li Zhu couldn't help but ask Xiaolongnu a question.
How did you know I was in danger?
"I don't know either. I just suddenly felt a pang of anxiety, like something was about to happen. I thought it was because I'd been away from you for too long and I was about to faint again, so I came to find you. I never expected to find you being assassinated..."
Xiaolongnu explained, which made Li Zhu nod in agreement, indicating that he accepted the explanation.
Back at the East Palace, Li Zhu told Xiaolongnu to rest in a side hall while he went back to change his clothes…
"Your Highness, you smell so good..."
Thinking it was a palace maid changing his clothes, Li Zhu took two quick steps forward upon hearing the sound. He then turned around and saw Consort Ming standing there in a light gauze dress, looking at him shyly. At this distance, Li Zhu could see everything clearly through the gauze...
