"A Bai?"
Xiao Xiao raised his hand slightly.
The white snake glanced at the girl across from it.
It nodded with a rather dignified air.
They had gotten the lesson they deserved, anyway.
So, for Lord Xiao Xiao's sake, it would forgive this human.
Besides, it had already gone easy on them.
Otherwise...
That ugly snake would have been long gone from this world.
And this human wouldn't have escaped without a scratch.
Wow~
Xi Xinxin's eyes widened.
It—it nodded?!
A Bai nodded?!
The white snake nodded?!
Was it a coincidence, or had the white snake really understood their conversation?
"Brother!"
Xi Xinxin tugged on her brother's clothes.
"Did you see that?"
"A Bai..."
Xi Xinxin took a deep breath. "A Bai nodded!"
Xi Xinrui came back to his senses.
He nodded.
"I saw..."
He was surprised, too.
That was so humanlike...
Could snakes really be that smart?
But maybe A Bai could.
After all, A Bai didn't look like an ordinary snake to begin with.
Sure, you weren't supposed to judge a book by its cover.
But anyone who saw A Bai would know it was extraordinary.
Its beauty alone was already extraordinary.
So what if it was even more extraordinary than that?
It didn't seem quite so unbelievable anymore.
That was A Bai, after all.
"A Bai."
Xi Xinxin stared at the white snake with wide eyes.
"Can you understand what I'm saying?"
Uh...
He thought his sister's approach was rather childish.
Still, some inexplicable sense of anticipation made him look at the white snake, too.
The white snake had no interest in engaging with some unrelated human.
It lowered its eyes.
Its body twisted slightly.
For some reason, it looked like it was stretching.
Xi Xinxin swallowed.
"A Bai."
