Huh?
The boy stopped moving.
The girl with her hair half-tied in a bun furrowed her brows in confusion.
The snake... where was it?
The girl looked up at the boy in front of her.
"Sorry."
"I didn't see where the snake was..."
Xiao Xiao blinked.
Huh?
He lowered his eyes.
The motionless figure on his wrist really was too deceptive.
He couldn't help smiling.
"A Bai."
He called softly.
"Hiss~"
A faint hiss sounded.
The girl with her hair half-tied in a bun immediately focused her attention.
That was the sound of a snake.
Good.
The problem was, where was the snake—
The girl's eyes suddenly widened.
She saw...
The white jade bangle she'd thought she was looking at split open down the middle.
No...
This wasn't a white jade bangle at all!
Th-this was a white snake!
The white snake raised its head slightly.
Its bright-red, slit-pupiled eyes casually swept over the girl, who was staring in a daze, then it flicked its tongue at Xiao Xiao.
Its small tail swished lightly, too.
"Hiss~"
The white snake was rather pleased.
It rarely had a chance to show itself in front of people.
It was all because of humans' vulgar eyes and poor taste that the stinking fox always stole the show.
The white snake was quite indignant about that.
And it... didn't want to frighten those timid humans, so it had to curl itself up like a bangle.
Tsk~
The white snake flicked its tongue.
Humans weren't as beautiful as it was to begin with.
Those shocked faces were even uglier.
Like that girl from earlier.
Hmph!
The white snake couldn't even be bothered to spare her a glance.
What was with that expression?
It was obviously much, much, much prettier than her!
