I Have Medicine Here
Of course, she had a special anti-snake powder to control it, and an antidote for the venom—he wouldn’t lose his life over this!
Having made up her mind, Grace went to look for Evan Xiao.
This afternoon, he wasn’t in his study reading official documents, but had gone to the front yard to practice swordsmanship.
Grace secretly watched him for a while. His sword skills were impressive, and the sword itself was top-notch. But... when it came to dealing with the Red-Banded Serpent, it probably wouldn’t be much help.
Its cultivation was comparable to a ninth-level spiritualist! Even higher than Evan Xiao, who was at the eighth level.
Plus, it was vicious—biting anyone it saw.
And after being locked up by Grace for so long, it was probably even more irritable.
She was fully prepared and quietly climbed up a big, leafy tree in the front garden.
Crouching on a branch, anti-snake powder in hand, she released the Red-Banded Serpent.
The Red-Banded Serpent held a serious grudge against her. Just as she expected, the moment it was released, it tried to climb up the tree to bite her.
Grace sprinkled the anti-insect powder, and the serpent instantly reacted as if scalded, frantically charging straight toward Evan Xiao.
She quickly climbed down from the tree and rushed toward Evan Xiao, worried that he might actually get eaten. That would be way too tragic...
But as soon as she saw them, Grace froze.
What the heck was going on?
Evan Xiao had stopped practicing, standing there with a baffled look, staring at the Red-Banded Serpent.
But that fierce, violent Red-Banded Serpent looked absolutely terrified, curling up into a shivering ball. Forget biting Evan Xiao—it seemed to be groveling on the ground, not even daring to lift its head!
Seriously, what was up with this?
He’s just a human!
And his cultivation isn’t even as high as yours!
Aren’t you supposed to hate humans the most?
Go on! Bite him!
A high-level spirit beast—the Red-Banded Serpent from the Eastern Wilderness—appearing in the manor? Evan Xiao was genuinely surprised.
Then he saw Lily Bai.
She stood there, frozen, looking like she was about to cry.
Scared stiff, huh?
Evan Xiao’s lips twitched slightly as he said to the Red-Banded Serpent, "Go on, get lost!"
The Red-Banded Serpent acted like it’d been pardoned, immediately turning tail and fleeing.
But as it ran, it spotted Grace following behind.
When enemies meet, their eyes blaze with fury.
Suddenly, it was like the serpent had transformed—its whole body radiated ferocious beastly energy, jaws wide open, lunging at Grace.
Grace hurriedly sprinkled anti-snake powder at it.
But whether it wanted to take her down with it or something else, it actually endured the pain and lunged at her anyway.
A disgusting stench hit her face, and Grace cursed in her heart: Damn it! She raised both hands to shield her head.
Suddenly, she was yanked away by a strong force, and the stench faded into the distance.
Grace opened her eyes and saw that the person who’d pulled her away—and was now standing protectively in front of her—was Evan Xiao.
The serpent sank its fangs deep into Evan Xiao’s shoulder, one long venomous tooth piercing his back, blood gushing out!
Strangely, the serpent seemed to realize it had bitten the wrong person and quickly let go, cowering on the ground like a dog that’d made a huge mistake, looking terrified.
"Get lost. And don’t ever show up in Blue Moon Kingdom again!" Evan Xiao said with a frown.
The huge serpent, thick as a barrel, scrambled away in a panic, disappearing into the bushes.
"General! Wait! Don’t move! I have medicine—I have an antidote for snake venom!" Grace fumbled frantically in her clothes for her medicine.
The Red-Banded Serpent’s venom was so potent, it could kill in less than half a cup of tea!
"No need," Evan Xiao said. "That’s a high-level spirit beast. Its venom isn’t something ordinary snake medicine can cure."
