Snake Princess

Snake Princess

No, now it should be called Taishi Ming's village.

Behind the young woman followed a middle-aged woman.

The woman followed behind her, proper and reserved, while remaining constantly alert to their surroundings.

As though the moment the young woman was in danger, she would strike without mercy.

The young woman frowned slightly. "Aunt Xu, do you think Brother Xing's younger brother will have Innate Soul Power?"

Aunt Xu said, "Snake Princess probably won't. After all, Gourd Village's inherited martial soul is a useless one. In all these decades, only Taishi Xing ever emerged! The chances of his younger brother also possessing Innate Soul Power are almost zero."

The young woman was named Snake Princess.

She was precisely the young woman Tiger Mask had mentioned.

After hearing Aunt Xu's words, Snake Princess's expression improved slightly, though a trace of worry remained. "What if he really does have Innate Soul Power?"

Aunt Xu smiled faintly. "Then you'll just have to accept your fate."

Snake Princess said, "Wuwu, I'm a full ten years older than him!"

Covering her face, she thought, If I end up with such a little husband, how will I ever face anyone again?

She would not even be able to hold her head up in front of her close friends!

Aunt Xu said, "If you refuse to accept your fate, you could kill him."

Snake Princess immediately shook her head. "No matter what, Brother Xing was our family's benefactor. There's no way I could kill his younger brother."

Aunt Xu laughed and teased her, "Then you can only accept your fate. Besides, Brother Xing was quite a handsome young man. His younger brother probably won't be much worse."

Snake Princess rolled her eyes. "No matter how handsome he is, he's still just a little brat."

"Wuwu, how did I end up with such a rotten problem? Brother Xing, you really set me up badly! And Grandpa, with that damned stubborn temper of his, why does he insist on making me marry this little brat? If he wants to repay Brother Xing's kindness, making him my younger brother would work just as well!"

Behind Snake Princess, Aunt Xu could not help shaking her head. Snake Princess did not understand Elder Snake, but she did.

Because she knew why Elder Snake had made this decision.

Just then, plumes of black smoke rose from the distant village!

Snake Princess's expression changed drastically!

Aunt Xu's expression was even uglier than Snake Princess's. To her, Brother Xing's son—his younger brother—was more than merely a benefactor.

He concerned Snake Princess and the entire Snake Manor as well.

The two of them immediately quickened their pace toward the village.

When they arrived in the village, their expressions changed again and again.

Because the village had already become a river of blood.

They exchanged glances. Whether out of gratitude or for other reasons, neither of them wanted to see this scene!

At the same time, deep worry rose in their hearts.

Aunt Xu in particular muttered, "Even if you're the royal family, this is going too far! These are still your subjects!"

Her voice was very soft, and Snake Princess did not hear clearly. She asked, "What did you say, Aunt Xu?"

Aunt Xu quickly shook her head. "Nothing! Finding Brother Xing's younger brother, Taishi Ming, is what matters most right now."

Snake Princess nodded.

The two swiftly searched through the village, which had nearly become ruins. They hoped to find even a single survivor, so they could learn what Taishi Ming looked like.

Otherwise, they would not even be able to erect a grave for him.

After an unknown amount of time, Ye Han—no, Taishi Ming—awoke from the intense pain.

"Hiss!"

The moment he opened his eyes, Taishi Ming could not help sucking in a breath of cold air. It hurt like hell.

For some reason, he felt dazed all over, and his vision was completely blurred.

Only after a while did it gradually become clear.

But he discovered that his body seemed no longer to belong to him. He could not even lift a hand.

He struggled and turned his head to look.

"Fuck..."

His entire body had been soaked in blood.

His arms and chest were covered in wounds!

No wonder he could not move. Injured this badly, he was probably not far from death! But Tiger Mask had been far too ruthless!

The next moment, Taishi Ming froze. He realized that he was not the only one lying there. There was also a middle-aged couple, as well as others farther away.

Blood had dyed the entire ground red, while the houses billowed with black smoke and flames.

He opened his mouth, but could not say a single word.

Now, he finally understood what Tiger Mask had meant by "no need."

Everyone in the village was dead. Wouldn't Tiger Mask be free to make up whatever story he wanted? No one could find anything to doubt him over.

There were no living witnesses.

Sure enough, this was the most foolproof method.

Thinking about it now, what did these little injuries on his body even amount to?

Tiger Mask really did not have a shred of humanity!

It seemed he needed to increase his strength as soon as possible. This feeling of being controlled by others was unbearably unpleasant.

As more and more blood flowed from his wounds, Taishi Ming's consciousness began to blur, and his eyes gradually lost their focus.

"Where are they? Didn't you say a young woman would come? Don't tell me you unreliable bastard, Tiger Mask, miscalculated the timing. What if she hasn't arrived and I bleed to death first?"

Just as Taishi Ming weakly closed his eyes, an urgent voice finally rang out. "Snake Princess, there's someone here who's still alive!"

Has someone finally come? Taishi Ming relaxed, then fainted again.

The one who had called out was naturally Aunt Xu.

Snake Princess soon arrived as well. Seeing Taishi Ming covered in wounds and barely clinging to life, she was utterly stunned.

She hurriedly asked, "What do we do now, Aunt Xu?"

Aunt Xu said, "Naturally, we take him back. Don't you think he looks very much like Brother Xing between the brows?"

If Taishi Ming had still been awake at that moment, he would surely have been greatly surprised. So it wasn't just my martial soul that caught their attention. It was also because I look like Taishi Xing!

After an unknown amount of time, Taishi Ming swayed awake once more and vaguely heard several people talking nearby.

A rough voice was roaring about something. "What exactly are they trying to do? For Snake Princess's sake, they actually slaughtered an entire village! Are they even human?!"

A female voice said, "Elder Snake, you also think they were the ones who did it?"

The person called Elder Snake angrily said, "If not them, then who else?"

Another female voice said, "Elder Snake, he's awake!"

"He's awake? Good, good. Brother Xing died saving me. If even the younger brother he entrusted to me dies now, I won't know how to explain myself to him."

One week later, in Barak City, the royal capital of the Balak Kingdom—also called Flame City due to its location—

A piece of news like a bolt from the blue spread throughout the entire royal capital.

Snake Manor's treasured jewel, Snake Princess, had gotten married, and she had married a little brat who was only six years old.

Who was Snake Princess?

She was the number one beauty in the entire royal capital.

She was also the most gifted soul master among the younger generation.

She could be said to possess both beauty and strength, a goddess-like existence.

She was the dream lover of every young soul master in the royal capital, even throughout the entire Balak Kingdom.

Yet today, she had married a six-year-old little brat, and it had happened so suddenly that no word of it had spread beforehand.

How could they possibly accept that?
