Chapter 636: Subduing the Black Python

Xiaosuisui loves Feifei. Everyone who knew her well was aware of this.

Xie Pan’Er was no exception.

At this moment, this was the only explanation she could offer.

"Don’t worry, Beautiful Sister; let’s first help the National Master capture Mr. Wu. After that, we can Feifei back!"

"Help... help the National Master? How can we help? You... don’t tell me you think this giant black python will join the National Master to fight Mr. Wu?"

Xie Pan’Er felt like crying. She possessed no martial arts skills, and although she could swim, she wasn’t foolish enough to believe she wouldn’t die at sea.

She had thought herself done for after being knocked into the water by Li Yanyan. To her surprise, Xiaosuisui, whom she was clutching tightly, had shouted, "Giant Black Python, save us!"

Incredibly, the giant black python had actually saved them.

She was just making a casual remark now, not expecting Xiaosuisui to giggle and reply, "That’s right, the Giant Black Python will help us fight Mr. Wu."

After Xiaosuisui finished speaking, she wriggled her small body forward, moving to sit right in the middle of the giant black python’s back.

"Da Hei, hit him, hit him! Hit that guy in black who’s too scared to show his face!"

Da Hei was very obedient. It raised its massive head high and lunged towards Mr. Wu.

A python’s attack power could be enormous. A jet of water as thick as a bucket shot towards Mr. Wu.

Seeing this, Mr. Wu swiftly dodged, as he knew this python was poisonous.

Seizing the opportunity as Mr. Wu dodged the black python, the National Master acted immediately. He conjured a restraining ward and swiftly ensnared Mr. Wu with a silver thread that shot from his wrist, coiling directly around Mr. Wu’s body.

This silver thread was originally a gift for Xiaosuisui, but due to Li Yanyan’s troublemaking, it had returned to his possession and now proved extremely useful at this critical moment.

Mr. Wu was immobilized by the silver thread. Only then did he realize he had been tricked.

"I never expected the National Master of Great Han to be so cunning, using poison while I was busy dodging the black jiao."

"Hmm?"

Everyone was puzzled.

The National Master used poison? How did they not know?

"I didn’t use poison, just some mesmerizing smoke. Moreover, this smoke wasn’t released by me, but by Princess Chang!"

That’s right; a kind of mesmerizing smoke filled the air. Xiaosuisui, while climbing on the black python’s back, had released it.

’Soul-Confusing Muscle-Softening Incense’ was something Ji Youran had prepared for himself.

Ji Youyuan had narrowly escaped death nine times and constantly encountered all sorts of dangers, which led him to research many such strange concoctions.

Substances that could dissolve in air.

Substances that could be mixed into food.

He had researched everything imaginable!

"Did you see the bracelet on my hand? The poison is on it. When I patted Da Hei’s back just now, I used my internal energy to vaporize the substance on it. Then, when Da Hei sprayed water at you, the water droplets carried the poisonous vapor and dispersed it in front of you. The National Master understood my actions, and that’s how he was able to capture you in time!"

Xiaosuisui stood on Da Hei’s back, joyously showing her bracelet to Mr. Wu.

Mr. Wu was so furious he felt like he could vomit blood. He knew this commoner princess of Great Han was formidable, but he never imagined she would be *this* formidable!

"Princess, your bracelet is poisonous? Then... is mine poisonous too?"

Xie Pan’Er was terrified. The bracelets worn by Princess Chang and herself were both crafted by the Sixth Young Master; they each had one. Now that Princess Chang’s bracelet was poisonous, could hers be safe?

"Don’t worry, Beautiful Sister, your bracelet isn’t poisonous. The poison on my bracelet is something I modified and added myself later."

"Oh! That’s a relief. I was so relie—" The word "lieved" hadn’t even left her lips before Xie Pan’Er’s heart leaped into her throat again. "Wait, what did you say? You... you modified it yourself?"

Heavens! Princess Chang, do you have to be so incredibly capable?

"Alright, now that the National Master has captured Mr. Wu, we can Feifei back."

Seeing Xie Pan’Er’s stunned expression, Xiaosuisui couldn’t help but give a sly grin, then opened her little arms for Xie Pan’Er to hold her.

Xie Pan’Er picked her up. Hearing Xiaosuisui say "Feifei," the next moment they were on the deck.

With Mr. Wu’s capture, the sea surface had calmed considerably.

The large sea creatures no longer rocked the ship from below, there were no more birds attacking from above, and the sea surface was very calm. The only thing not calm was the giant black python.

The black python didn’t leave. Instead, it swam over and rested alongside the large ship, looking quite menacing!

"What’s this black python doing, lying against the ship like that? Has it... has it gained sentience? Is it going to eat us? Or what’s the deal?"

The Emperor, fanning himself, winked amusingly at his precious daughter.

Anyone with eyes could tell that the adult was teasing the child.

Ever since Xiaosuisui learned ’Heart Communication,’ she could discern when people were teasing her. Seeing her Imperial Adoptive Father’s expression, she giggled.

"Imperial Adoptive Father, don’t try to scare me; you can’t. Da Hei isn’t going to eat anyone. It’s protecting us. It actually wanted to come into the cabin, but it didn’t dare to because Xiaobai is there!"

"Da... Da Hei?"

The Emperor and Ji Youzhi broke out in a cold sweat.

She... she just named such a terrifying giant python ’Da Hei’? And it seems she’s even adopted it as a pet!

"Yeah! I named it Da Hei. And Da Hei doesn’t eat people. Da Hei made all this fog. It asked me if it should clear the fog. Uncle Qi, should we clear it?"

"You... you can communicate with it?"

The moment Xiaosuisui said this, everyone was shocked.

Princess Ata especially. She knew Princess Chang possessed great destiny, but she never knew Princess Chang could communicate with animals!

Hearing her words now, Princess Ata was utterly astonished.

"That’s right! Not only can I communicate with Da Hei, but Beautiful Sister can too. It’s just that Beautiful Sister finds Da Hei’s appearance terrifying, so she hasn’t communicated with it!"

Hearing Xiaosuisui’s words, Princess Ata immediately turned to Xie Pan’Er for confirmation. "Is what Princess Chang said true?" she asked.

Xie Pan’Er nodded. "It’s true! I can indeed communicate with animals. I can understand what they’re thinking."

That’s so amazing!

Stars seemed to glitter in Princess Ata’s eyes.

"Alright, enough talk for now. Let’s interrogate this Mr. Wu first and find out who on earth he is!"

Ji Youzhi kicked the bound Mr. Wu. However, his brow furrowed, and his expression changed drastically.

How can this be?
