Now the sky has darkened, the balcony light is on, and the shadows of the trees outside the window are cast on the wall, gently swaying with the night breeze... sway... sway...
Duan Sishu watched the bewitchingly swaying shadows on the wall and couldnât help but frown. Are the tree shadows swaying too seductively? Can they sway as much as 180 degrees? And still not break?
Moreover, whatâs more bizarre is that she saw just a moment ago, beside the bewitchingly swaying tree shadow, suddenly there was another one, two shadows swaying together?
Watching these eerie tree shadows, Duan Sishu couldnât help but feel a chill creeping up in her heart.
She climbed out of bed, clutched her chest, and slowly walked towards the balcony, pausing for a moment when she reached it, taking a deep breath as if to muster some courage, and then continued forward.
Upon reaching the window, she couldnât help but put her hand over her eyes before looking outside.
The floor was not high, and the garden downstairs could be seen clearly; every grass and tree seemed normal... Wait! Duan Sishu suddenly widened her eyes, hastily looking outside, but didnât see any tree taller than the second floorâs room; the tallest was only about three meters! Itâs impossible for them to cast a shadow into the second-floor room!
So what on earth did she just see?
Duan Sishu was so scared her face turned pale.
After all, after Feng Nianianâs incident, she was more aware than anyone of what kind of things existed in this world.
She instinctively tried to run outside, but only realized she couldnât move her feet. Her feet felt as heavy as a thousand pounds. She looked down in slow motion and couldnât help but scream: "Ah! Ah! Snake! Snake!"
The next second, she instinctively fainted!
As her body collapsed limply, Xiaobai and Xiaohuang quickly retracted their tails and crawled away, not getting crushed by her collapsing body.
"Hiss hiss hiss..." What snake? Truly ignorant, itâs called a Changchong! Changchong!
Seeing Duan Sishu, who fainted just from seeing them, Xiaobai twisted its body in disdain.
It even began to doubt Duan Xiâs capability. Last time, he had sent it to a dark room to teach some filthy humans a lesson, and now it even had to handle such a fragile female?
Can he really protect Little Cutie with such weakness? Xiaobai deeply doubted and felt melancholic.
"Hiss hiss hiss..." Hey? Wake up, wake up!
Seeing Duan Sishu fainted on the floor, Xiaobai pondered more and more that this mission lacked any technical challenge. It used its tail tip to poke her face repeatedly but couldnât wake her. Then it noticed a kettle on the balconyâs tea table and, recalling the scene it had seen last time in the dark room, signaled Xiaohuang, whose presence was entirely unhelpful, to bring the kettle over.
But unlike it, Xiaohuang hadnât started using its tail for tasks early on; it relied on constriction for hunting and couldnât handle such delicate tasks. By the time it brought the kettle over by constricting it, all the water inside was squeezed out, and the kettle turned into a long iron rod...
"Hiss hiss hiss!" Useless Changchong!
Xiaobai angrily smacked Xiaohuang with its tail, causing the elongated iron rod to fall and stab directly into Duan Sishuâs thigh, the pain waking her up with another scream.
But as soon as she opened her eyes, she met Xiaobaiâs slightly excited beady eyes and fainted again.
"..." Xiaobai.
