Carrying a snake around with him...
In the past, Xu Qizhen would never have accepted it.
Just thinking about it would have given him goosebumps all over.
But if it was the white snake Student Xiao had with him...
Then maybe carrying it around wasn't so unacceptable after all.
Sure enough, looks decided everything.
Xu Qizhen couldn't help laughing at his own shallowness.
"...You..."
It took Zhang Tong a long while to recover from his shock.
His face was pale.
Even his voice sounded weak.
"...Keep an eye on your pet."
In the end, all he managed was a vague remark.
Having just been startled, he really couldn't come up with any fierce threats.
If not for the thought that he couldn't afford to lose face, his legs would have nearly given way, and he almost dropped to the ground.
"You..."
Zhang Tong's lips trembled.
What was wrong with this guy?
The pets around him all looked beautiful, but each was scarier than the last.
They were obviously just animals, yet they seemed almost supernatural.
Thinking of the red eyes he'd seen just now made him feel uneasy.
It was so unsettling.
"Gulp~"
He struggled to swallow.
He nearly choked on it.
His face was tense, his pursed lips drawn into a thin line.
The pets were strange.
And their owner was strange, too.
He'd been so certain when he'd made that remark, but now, for some reason, he wasn't so sure anymore.
Why had this person said that...?
Was he serious...?
"..."
"Cough, cough~"
He'd been about to say, "Hey," but then remembered the way the pet had snapped at him earlier, and Zhang Tong forcibly swallowed the word.
This time, he really did choke.
A fit of wrenching coughs rang out through the quiet mountain
