Wang Sheng said calmly, "It's nothing. When I saw the Giant Thermal Phantom Snake's wounds and hidden weapons, I knew someone was hunting it down. So I never intended to kill it in the first place. I was merely forced to fight back."
As he spoke, Wang Sheng glanced at Meng Yiran. Truthfully, one reason he was being so accommodating was that he was wary of Dragon Duke Meng Shu and Snake Granny Chao Tianxiang.
The other reason was that the three hidden weapons Meng Yiran had fired earlier had not targeted his vital points. Clearly, she had not intended to kill him.
