He was eating snacks and watching television. Life was so comfortable. Suddenly, he smelled something burning. He sniffed and smelled it carefully. Only then did he realize that there was porridge cooking in the kitchen.
She put down her snacks and ran over. She turned off the microwave and took the pot down to open it. It was burnt. She could not help but frown. Her lunch was gone again.
She put down the pot and returned to the living room to continue watching her TV. When she walked past the kitchen door, an unknown feeling made her look down. It was so shocking that she screamed," Ah!”
She quickly ran out of the kitchen and went to the living room table to make a call." Hello, Dad…"
"What's wrong? What happened?" Tan Zi's father's anxious voice came from the phone.
"Dad…"
"What's wrong? If there's anything, tell Daddy! Why are you crying?"
" Daddy…there's a snake, there's a snake at home…" Tan Zi cried.
"Where is the snake? Why is there a snake?"
"I don't know…"
"Don't cry! I'll call your brother and ask him to take a look.”
"Mm, wu…"
She hung up the phone and looked at the kitchen door again. There was nothing there, as if what had just happened was just a dream. However, Tan Zi did not want to go to the kitchen again.
Not long after, Tan Zi's brother came. It was her neighbor's big brother. Even her sister-in-law came. When he saw Tan Zi, he asked with concern," Zi 'er, where's the snake?"”
"I don't know. After…after the call…he disappeared.”Tan Zi sobbed.
Seeing how frightened Tan Zi was, Sister-in-law went forward and hugged her head to comfort her." It's fine if it ran away. There's nothing to be afraid of. Don't cry. Look at how scared you are."”
" Wu…" Tan Zi didn't say anything. She just hugged her sister-in-law and cried even harder.
"Zi 'er."
At this moment, Tan Zi's uncle also came. He looked at Tan Zi and asked," Where's the snake?"”
"Woo…"
"He's gone." Tan Zi's sister-in-law said," When we arrived, he was nowhere to be seen.”
"Aiyo, why are you crying when you're nowhere to be seen? People were afraid of snakes and snakes were also afraid of people. It was fine for a person to look at a snake, but a snake would only be afraid when it saw a person shedding a layer of skin.”Tan Zi's uncle comforted her.
"It's true." Tan Zi raised her head and asked in disbelief.
"Of course it's true. Look, he's gone.”
"That's right, Zi 'er." At this moment, Tan Zi's brother came over and said," I searched three times but couldn't find her. She must have run away in fear when she saw us.”
"Maybe it's hiding in the dark." Tan Zi refused to give up. She did not want to see that snake again.
"Alright, since Zi 'er is worried, we'll search again, corner by corner.”First Uncle suggested.
"Alright."
This time, Sister-in-law accompanied Tan Zi as she watched her brother and uncle rummage through the cabinets. In the end, they still could not find her. She walked up to her and said," Zi 'er! You can rest assured now! He really ran away."
"That's right, Zi 'er. Look, your uncle and brother have searched for her several times, but they haven't found her. She really ran away.”Sister-in-law echoed.
"Yes." Nodding her head, Tan Zi stopped crying. She looked at her uncle and said apologetically," I'm sorry to trouble you, uncle."”
"Aiya, what's the trouble? We're all family. Your peace of mind is the most important.”
"Hehe…"
Sister-in-law comforted Tan Zi a little more and left. She was still watching TV and eating snacks, but she would glance in the direction of the kitchen from time to time to see if there were any snakes.
At night, Tan Zi's parents came back. Tan Zi hugged her mother and cried," Mom…"
"Zi 'er, stop crying. Since you've run away, what's there to cry about?”Tan Zi's mother comforted her.
"Uh-huh…Don't ever leave me alone at home again. I'm scared.”
"Okay, okay. Daddy and Mommy won't leave you alone at home anymore.”
"Yes."
"Zi 'er." At this moment, Tan Zi's sister, Tan Wei, also came over.
"Sis."
"Don't cry. Let's sleep together tonight.”
"Yes." She nodded with tears in her eyes.
"Where's Daddy?"
"He went to put the car away."
"Zi 'er." Tan Zi's father returned from the car. He walked in front of Tan Zi and said," You're already so old and afraid of snakes. Let's see if you can still marry in the future."”
"Tsk."
"Alright." Tan Zi's mother stepped forward to smooth things over." Wei 'er will be getting married in a month. Zi' er, accompany your sister to take wedding photos in a few days!”
"Yes, alright."
Just like that, the snake incident was slowly forgotten. In the car, she looked at Tan Wei, who was sitting beside her, and said," Sis, you must look great in your wedding photos.”
"Haha." Tan Wei smiled and said," Zi 'er will definitely look good as my bridesmaid.”
"That goes without saying."
"Yo!" Seeing Tan Zi caressing her hair lovingly.
She got out of the car and walked into the bridal shop. Tan Zi sat at the side and watched Tan Wei and her brother-in-law choose the set meal. Then, she watched her put on makeup and take photos. She felt bored to death and stood up." Sis, I'll go out first!"”
"Where are we going!"
"Let's get some fresh air outside."
"Alright, go! Be careful."
"Yes." He nodded and walked out.
Looking at Tan Zi's back, he could not help but shake his head. It was not easy for her to work quietly for such a long time.
When she walked outside, Tan Zi didn't know where to go when she saw the crowd coming and going. She saw a boutique opposite and walked there. She picked out a few souvenirs inside when her phone rang." Hello, Sis."”
"Tan Zi, where are you?"
"I'm at the boutique opposite."
"Oh, did you buy anything?"
"I bought a few souvenirs."
"Oh, come back after you're done! I'm nervous without you around."
"Alright, I'll go back now."
"Okay, bye."
She hung up the phone and walked to the counter." Miss, please pay the bill."”
She placed the souvenir on the counter and inadvertently glanced into the shop. She saw a crystal ball not far away with a model of a light purple snake. Although Tan Zi was afraid of snakes, she was still attracted by the purple snake. It attracted Tan Zi's eyes as if it had magic.
"Miss, it's a total of 328 yuan.”
Seeing that Tan Zi didn't respond, her voice became louder." Miss, the total is 328 yuan.”
"Um." Tan Zi finally reacted. She pointed at the crystal ball and said," Miss, I want that crystal ball."”
"Oh, okay."
She glanced at the cars on both sides of the road and walked to the bridal shop opposite. She walked to the center and looked at the little snake in the crystal ball in her hand. Time instantly stopped. At this moment, Tan Zi could see clearly that the little purple snake's eyes were red, as if they were flushed with blood. It also deeply attracted Tan Zi's eyes.
Tan Zi did not notice that her eyes were also faintly red. She stood there without moving until she heard the sound of an emergency brake. Looking at the source of the sound, Tan Zi's eyes instantly widened. The redness in her eyes was abundant, just like the eyes of the purple snake in the crystal ball in her hand. It was also faintly emitting a faint purple light, which became thicker and thicker until she fell down.
The moment she fell, Tan Zi vaguely saw the crystal ball in her hand shatter on the ground. The little snake inside seemed to have come alive and slid towards her.
On this side, one day later, Mei Ji shook her head listlessly as she looked at His Highness. Seeing her like this, Ming Li kneeled down and pulled her hand. Who exactly harmed you? Tell me!”
"Left Emissary, you can't force her like this. The Snake King just passed away not long ago, and Sheji must be in such a state because she was too sad. How could this Snake Cave harm her snake? You must be mistaken.”Right Emissary Wen stood up and said.
Hearing the Right Emissary, Ming Li shook his head. He couldn't be wrong. Someone must have wanted to kill Mei Ji. There must be something strange about Snake King's death. He stood up. It wasn't appropriate to talk about it in this situation. He had to investigate it in the dark. Then, he could talk about it in front of the palace. This would only alert the enemy.
He looked at the hundred snakes and said," Mei Ji isn't feeling well. Everyone, leave!”
"Yes."
After they left, Ming Li turned to Mei Ji and said affectionately," Mei Ji, don't worry. I will find the murderer and avenge Snake King."”
"Brother Li." Mei Ji's tears fell." Is Snake Father really dead? Mei Ji only had herself in the future?”
"Mei Ji." He walked up and hugged Mei Ji's head." You still have Brother Li! No matter what, Brother Li wouldn't leave Mei Ji.”
" Brother Li…" Her tears flowed more and more vigorously. Her snake father was dead, really dead. She really didn't want to admit it!
At night, Ming Li came out of Mei Ji's room. Standing outside, Ming Wen said," Left Emissary, how can Sheji lead the Snake Cavern like this?"”
Hearing Ming Wen's words, Ming Li turned to look at him." Right Emissary, I don't want to hear these words again. With my help, Mei Ji can manage the Snake Cave."”With that, he turned around and left.
"Brother."
She stopped Ming Li and walked in front of him." Father and Mother miss you. When are you coming home?"”
"I'll go back when I have time." He didn't even turn around and leave after saying that mercilessly.
Looking at Ming Li's back, the inscription in his eyes became more vicious. It seemed that Shi Yan had to take action soon. He glanced at Mei Ji's room and then turned to leave. Sheji, don't blame me for being ruthless. Blame yourself for being Sheji.
The next day, she ate the porridge that the servant girl brought over and thought about what gift Ming Li would bring her today. Every time he went to the human world, he would bring her a gift. This time should not be an exception.
"Sheji."
When he heard the voice, he raised his head and looked at the person who had come. He put down the porridge in his hand, stood up, and bowed." Right Emissary."”
"Aiyo." He hurried to support Mei Ji's body." Sheji, what are you doing? I should be the one bowing! Aren't you humiliating me by bowing to me?”
"Right Emissary." Mei Ji stood still and said," Snake Father has left. Mei Ji is the only one managing this cave. There are more than a million snakes in this cave. How can Mei Ji manage them all by herself?"”
If you can't manage it, then step down! Ming Wen muttered in his heart, but he said," Sheji is the daughter of the Snake King. She will definitely be able to manage it.”
"Mei Ji knows how capable Mei Ji is. I hope that the Right Emissary can help Mei Ji manage this snake cave. Mei Ji will be grateful.”With that, he knelt down.
