Chapter 122: Chapter 121 What is the Little Snake Kingâs treasure?
The Little Snake Kingâs eyes glinted savagely. What kind of look is that? Canât you see that this is a treasure? Redeem your sisterâs crimes? One of its treasures could buy her ten houses full of grain, okay!
Never seen a treasure as fine as this, have you? Hurry up and thank me!
To Su Shuâs surprise, she deciphered its bizarre body language, her eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of her mouth curled up in a cold smile.
âDone something bad and wonât bow your head to admit it, still daring to talk back to me with your neck stiff, huh? Think youâre something special because youâre the Snake King? Iâm going to chop you up today if I donât, to pay back for all the grain I painstakingly carried back!â
âSwoosh swoosh swooshââ Emma, miscalculation, better run fast!
A new round of chase began yet againâŠ
...
In the end, Su Shu managed to lock the storeroom with a padlock and left the space.
Of course, before leaving, she didnât forget to take the âworthless stoneâ with her.
Su Shu came out of the bathroom, and Xiaoâai was no longer in the living room. She looked up at the clock on the wall; it was almost 12 oâclock.
She tucked a strand of hair back behind her temple, embarrassed.
On the table, there was a drawing left by Xiaoâai, which she picked up.
In the drawing, a child stood at an open bathroom door, three question marks floating above their head ???
The bathroom was empty.

A shiver ran through Su Shuâs heart, and she couldnât help but turn to glance at Xiaoâaiâs closed bedroom doorâthis childâŠ
Feeling uneasy, she went to check if Xiaoâai was asleep in her room. In the dark, with only the faint light from the living room, she saw that Xiaoâai had already crawled into bed and fallen asleep, clutching her dinosaur plushie.
After closing the door, she poured herself a cup of warm tea and sat on the sofa, the drawing Xiaoâai had made resting on the coffee table.
Although Xiaoâai was young, she was clever beyond her years, her large eyes twinkling as if she understood everything.
It seemed the little girl had already sensed something about her possibly disappearing.
It looks like Iâll have to find a good time to have a proper talk with her, when the moment is right, she thought.
But now there were more pressing matters to attend to; those could wait.
She sipped the warm tea in her hand while examining the âstoneâ she had brought out from the space.
She had been completely surprised that the Little Snake King would spit out a stone. During her brief scan inside, she knew the stone was no ordinary item because she had seen a faint glimmer of green on the stone the Little Snake King spat out.
Her first reaction was to recognize that the object was unusual, but she was too angry at the time to play into its hands and let it feel smug.
The grain had been devoured ferociously, and she needed to restock quickly, or else her hard work would be in vain.
She stared at the âstoneâ for a long time, unsure of exactly what it was. The green glint looked like it could be a gemstone; she decided to ask around the next day in the city.

The next day, early morning.
Su Shu prepared milk and fried eggs for breakfast, finished eating with Xiaoâai, and the two of them headed downstairs to do some strength training.
Her car had been left in the Peng Village Mountain Area, so now they had to take other transportation.
In the morning, she called Mr. Yu from the grain store to schedule a delivery to the warehouse after 3 p.m., as she had to take care of some business elsewhere in the morning.
On the other end, Mr. Yu was surprised to receive her call but then happy for her, âMiss Su, youâre feeling better! Thatâs great. Iâve heard about what you did back home; we owe you a lot.â
Su Shu knew he was referring to the medicine and quickly said it was nothing, and Mr. Yu inquired about her health. Learning that she was much better now, he was relieved and told her that people from their hometown often asked him about her wellbeing, which made Su Shu feel warm inside.
When Mr. Yu found out she could receive the goods now, he promptly mentioned that he had taken good care of the store for her and could deliver the goods right away. After knowing she had errands to run in the morning, they agreed on a time for the afternoon.
