Rebirth of the Villainous Female Boss

Chapter 594: Chapter 568: Touching and Saving the Beauty

This is impressive, no doubt about it.

Xiao Qian was indeed very touched.

Although she was dissatisfied with his roundabout behavior, he had carried her for such a long distance and made such a sincere confession that all her annoyance vanished.

However, when she saw something suddenly appear in front of them, her emotions turned from touched to terrified.

“There’s a snake!” She whispered in his ear, instinctively covering her mouth with her hand to suppress a scream, knowing that yelling would only attract the snake’s attention and not help the situation at all.

Following Xiao Qian’s words, Yu Minglang saw a green snake calmly crawl into the grass beside the slope they were about to climb, not getting too far away, with half of its tail still left outside.

“Is it venomous?” Xiao Qian asked.

“We’re pretty lucky,” Yu Minglang said with ease.

“Oh, it’s not poisonous.” Xiao Qian breathed a sigh of relief, remembering that she had read in a book that not all green snakes are poisonous, and a green-colored snake called the green snake is completely non-toxic.

“It is venomous, extremely venomous actually. Look how calm it is, Qian Bao. Not fleeing rapidly upon encountering humans, but lazily and charmingly crawling into the bushes. This half-conscious, half-drunken state, it’s just like you, don’t you think?”

Yu Minglang’s tone was very calm, as if the creature just a few meters away was not a highly venomous snake but an extremely rare flower.

“!!!” Xiao Qian felt like her hairs were standing on end.

“It’s actually quite simple to distinguish between venomous and non-venomous snakes. If you encounter one that races away with a whoosh, then it’s non-venomous. If it faces us calmly and charmingly like the one in front of us right now, then it’s venomous. I’ve checked, Qian Bao. We’re really lucky; it’s a bamboo viper.”Nôv(el)B\\jnn

This snake is one of the top ten venomous snakes in China, more commonly found in the South. It is a mystery why it appears in the mountains of the North.

Xiao Qian really wanted to punch him; how could he be in the mood for explanations at such a time?

Like every girl, she disliked such soft, gloomy animals. Just looking at it made her break out in goosebumps. However, she didn’t know why, but when she was on his back, she felt much less fear, as if she had nothing to be afraid of as long as he was there.

In these few seconds, Xiao Qian thought a lot.

“Let me down.” She told Ming Lang. Yu Minglang definitely knew how to escape danger, but if he had to carry her, they might both end up in serious trouble.

“Xiao Mei, I’m sorry, and I hope you don’t hold this against me.”

“Xiao Mei, would you marry me in the next life?” Once he finished shouting, Xiao Qian was thrown away by him!

They were standing on a slightly sloping ground, and his move caused Xiao Qian to fall backward. Fortunately, she only ended up sitting on the grass, uninjured. But when she saw him rush toward the snake and reach out to catch it, her heart seemed to stop, and everything went black.

She closed her eyes, unable to feel her heartbeat. In that second, her consciousness and body seemed disconnected.

Xiao Qian couldn’t imagine what she would do if Yu Minglang was bitten by the snake. All her common sense and courage had disappeared, and she even felt that the fear she had experienced when she chose to die in her past life was not as great as what she felt now.

At this moment, Xiao Qian would rather be bitten by the snake herself than open her eyes to see if he was alright.

When did he surpass even herself in her heart? This question was unsolvable, just like a person would never know the time when the first flower blooms.

Cold liquid slid down her face, and Xiao Qian didn’t even realize that it was her tears. Her mind was blank in these few seconds.

All her reactions were instinctive.

“Hi~ Qian Bao, come and see~”

Xiao Qian opened her eyes to see Yu Minglang standing on the slope, holding the snakehead in his bare hand, with the snake’s body coiled around his wrist. She was scared pale by his actions.

“Quickly kill it!”

She was really afraid he wouldn’t be able to hold onto it and get bitten. The soft and fuzzy snake looked too scary.

“No, don’t hurt it unless absolutely necessary, for it is a life too. Qian Bao, come here and get the canvas bag from my backpack.”

Xiao Qian braced herself and walked over, feeling the frightening sensation of the snake being so close to her.

Yu Minglang seemed completely unafraid, even lifting the snake up to show her.

“Qian Bao, look, the prototype of Xiao Qing from the Legend of the White Snake! Isn’t it cute?”

Not cute at all!

Xiao Qian quickly took out the bag with a pale face, and Yu Minglang asked her to step back a bit. He swiftly threw the snake into the bag tightly sealing it shut.

“Ha, ha, ha~ West Lake Scenery! It’s March now!” He even started singing a tune from the Legend of the White Snake!

“Can’t you just kill it? It’s so scary!” Only after the danger had passed did Xiao Qian realize that her clothes had been drenched in cold sweat.

In just a moment, she had gone through the pain of almost losing him, and she was truly frightened deep down inside.

But the fear was not of death, but of not being able to see him.

Yet this fool of a man, who had caught the snake with his bare hands, seemed completely fearless. Looking at the grin on his face, Xiao Qian suddenly felt so foolish for having been so afraid just moments ago.

“This is just a case of comrade Xiao Qing from the snake world carrying out self-defense after we invaded their territory. It is true that people are afraid of snakes, but every year, are there more people killed by snake bites or people who eat snakes? Let’s not hurt it if we’re not in danger, and leave it somewhere safe later.”

Despite his amazing physical abilities, Yu Minglang never bullied any creature or person. Even a small snake was a life, in his eyes.

Xiao Qian didn’t know how to describe him in this moment. He possessed immense power, yet never used it to bully anyone or anything. Though 90% of the time he was a clownish fool in front of her, that 10% of the time when he showed his true colors was enough for her to completely entrust herself to him.

Difficult situations seemed to disappear when he was around; no problem was too big. As long as Yu Minglang was there, any problem ceased to be an issue for Xiao Qian.

“Qian Bao, do you want to adopt Xiao Qing? Don’t you think it’s cute?”

Yu Minglang lifted up the bag, and Xiao Qian saw the wriggling movements inside and swallowed hard, “Please just get rid of it…”

“Alright, if you don’t like it, I’ll release it back into the forest and let it continue its cultivation. Hopefully, it’ll find its Mrs. Bai soon~”

“Animals have not been allowed to become spirits since the founding of the country.” Inexplicably, Xiao Qian blurted out such a nonsensical line after her scare, feeling as though she had been infected by Yu Minglang’s comedic nature.

“Qian Bao, don’t you think the appearance of this venomous snake is quite timely? At this moment, it appeared, making me feel quite manly, don’t you think?”

“Indeed, very manly.” Xiao Qian thought of him securing her safely before catching the snake with his bare hands, her heart filling with warmth.

“So, are you willing to spend your life with such a reliable man?” Yu Minglang anxiously awaited her answer.
