At the same time, six figures flew in from all directions around the courtyard, instantly surrounding the entire pavilion.
Even the four people inside the house came running over, flying into action to shield Su Qiao.
Su Qiao hurriedly swallowed the crystal dumpling in her mouth and quickly stood up. "Hey, don't move, don't move! Those are mine."
"...?"
Xun Feng turned around expressionlessly, looking somewhat dazed.
What was hers?
Those snakes?
Or those hopping poisonous frogs?
Or those centipedes that had come crawling from who-knew-where and were growing more numerous by the moment?
"Little... sister... y-you should get behind your brother. Your... brother will protect you."
Su Baiwen hurriedly grabbed Su Qiao, who was about to leave the pavilion, his face pale as he stared at the various poisonous creatures converging toward the center of the courtyard.
"Brother, don't be afraid. These things won't hurt me."
Although Ye Jinghua had also been somewhat startled, he had at least been on the battlefield before. Aside from his complexion changing slightly, he was able to remain fairly composed.
"The Poison Powder works quite well. It actually summoned so many little fellows."
Su Qiao wiped her mouth, took out two medicine bottles from the embroidered pouch at her waist, and handed one to her brother and the other to Ye Jinghua.
"Sprinkle just a little of this powder on yourselves. Watch your feet, and don't step on my little cuties."
With that, she had already pushed her brother aside. She lightly touched the ground with her toes and flew out of the pavilion, landing perfectly on the empty space beside the water vat.
She quickly took a porcelain bottle no bigger than a thumb from the embroidered pouch at her waist and sprinkled the powder inside it into the empty water vat.
