Hearing that something had happened in Shen Ninghua’s tent, Chu Junyi’s expression suddenly turned cold. He stood up and walked towards her tent.

Shen Ninghua sat in her seat and drank the newly brewed Biluochun Tea. Seeing Chu Junyi enter, she was not surprised at all. “You’re here.”

Chu Junyi nodded and looked around for a long time. “Ninghua, what happened to your tent?”

“Someone buried Wanying pollen around the tent to attract snakes!”

Chu Junyi’s eyes were cold. After Qing Que told him the appearances of the guards, he turned around and said to Shen Ninghua, “Ninghua, I will investigate this matter thoroughly.” After saying that, he turned around and walked out.

Shen Ninghua gently put down the teacup. It was hard to tell from her expression whether she was happy or angry.

In the middle of the night, some subtle noise came from the bushes. It was very inconspicuous in the night, but the noise gradually grew louder and louder, and the bushes trembled more and more violently.

The guards on patrol felt that it was a little unusual, so one guard told his companion to carry the torch and split the bush with his spear.

“Ah! Snakes!”

The guard who saw clearly what was in the bush threw the torch on the ground and shouted loudly.

“Someone! Guard the princes and princesses. Come quickly!”

Not long after, the entire camp was in a mess. Many people ran out of their tents. Some of the young ladies did not even tidy up their clothes and covered their faces with embarrassment. However, at this moment, the guards and the young masters of the aristocratic families were not in the mood to peek at them. They all stared at the grass as if they were facing a great enemy.

“Ah!” A guard inadvertently took a step forward and felt a pain in his ankle. He immediately fell to the ground. Just as he fell, a few more snakes crawled over and bit him. Before the imperial doctors could rush over, his face turned black and he died instantly.

These people had never seen such a scene before, and they were so frightened that they didn’t know how to react. Many young ladies covered their faces and cried out, “Heavens, how could there be so many snakes!”

“Father, mother, I want to go home.”

“Help!”

The camp that was originally filled with laughter was instantly engulfed by an anxious and desperate atmosphere.

Xiao Huanxi was protected by her maids and carefully walked to the side of the crowd. She turned around to look for Chu Junyi, but after looking around for several times, she did not find him. She felt a little discouraged in her heart.

At this moment, the Second Prince and Fifth Prince brought people over and ordered the guards to carefully pour the Tung oil on the ground. Then, they lit the oil and burned the grass on the ground.

Because the snakes were afraid of fire, many of them were driven out and they formed a circle around the people.

Baili Jinchuan’s eyes were filled with anxiety as he turned to look at Xiao Huanxi. “Did you see Anning and Ninghua?”

Xiao Huanxi shook her head. “No.”

Baili Jinchuan frowned and coldly instructed, “Someone, hurry up and find Princess Anning and Prefectural Princess Zhaohua. Do whatever you can to ensure their safety!”

At this moment, someone cried out, “Isn’t that Prefectural Princess Zhaohua’s tent? Heavens, it’s all filled with vipers…”

Baili Jinchuan pushed the people in front of him away and looked anxiously at the location of the tent. It was almost filled with snakes, and colorful vipers squeezed into a very frightening ball. “Ninghua, are you inside?”

Baili Jinchuan shouted a few times, but he did not receive any response. A wave of panic surged into his heart, and his eyes slowly turned red due to anxiety. He turned around and shouted at the guards, “Where’s the snake repellent powder? Hurry up and bring it over!”

Yang Yingxue almost fainted, but when she thought of the scene of vipers swarming up immediately after the guard fell, she was so frightened that she didn’t dare to faint. When she heard that Shen Ninghua might be trapped in the tent, she almost cried out, “Cousin…” She really didn’t want anything to happen to Shen Ninghua at this time.

A guard brought over all the snake repellent powder he could find and handed it to Baili Jinchuan, who was on the verge of going mad. “Your Highness, all the snake repellent powder is here.” Because the camp was at the edge of the forest, they had brought much snake repellent powder.

Baili Jinchuan heaved a sigh of relief and ordered people to scatter the snake repellent powder on the ground. However, after waiting for a long time, the snakes on the ground showed no signs of retreating. Some even rolled on the powder.

Immediately, an imperial doctor stepped forward to inspect the snake repellent powder, and his expression changed drastically when he smelled it. “This is not snake repellent powder. This is flour!”

“What? Heavens, is the Heavens going to kill us?”

“Why should this happen?”

“Why did we come here to hunt? I want to go back, go back!”

Baili Jinchuan abruptly turned his head to stare at the person who spoke with a gaze as dark as a viper. “Shut up!”

Everyone trembled and quickly shut their mouths.

“Use torches and swords. Clean up these vipers. We must save Prefectural Princess Zhaohua and Princess Anning!”

“Yes!”

The guards began to move, but there were too many vipers. Killing them would stimulate their ferocity. At that time, everyone present would die. However, if they only picked the vipers away, they would quickly crawl back. It was like trying to put out a burning cartload of faggots with a cup of water.

Xiao Huanxi looked at the scene in front of her, and a trace of fear flashed through her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by pleasure. In the darkness, her face looked very gloomy. As long as Shen Ninghua died, she would be the only person that Brother Junyi cared about. If they spent enough time together, love would come in time!

She was blinded by beautiful fantasies. She even forgot the way Chu Junyi treated her didn’t carry anything beyond kinship.

Not long after, a guard finally opened Baili Anning’s tent. The palace maids immediately rushed out while protecting Baili Anning.

“Second Brother…” Baili Anning’s face turned pale from fear. However, she still managed to maintain the proper etiquette and bowed to Baili Jinchuan.

“Alright, Qiu Shi, help the princess to the side to rest.” Baili Jinchuan nodded at Baili Anning, and his anxious gaze landed on Shen Ninghua’s tent.

Baili Anning widened her eyes in horror. “Ninghua hasn’t come out yet?”

“No.” Baili Jinchuan clenched his fists. Ninghua…

There were simply too many vipers to drive away. Shen Ninghua’s tent was quiet and silent. Xiao Huanxi looked around for Chu Junyi, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

Chu Junyi escorted the six guards over. Seeing Baili Jinchuan standing in front of Shen Ninghua’s tent, his heart suddenly tightened. He blurted out, “Her Highness hasn’t come out yet?”

“No!” Seeing Chu Junyi’s uncontrollable gaze of concern, Baili Jinchuan’s heart trembled. He realized that this man also loved Ninghua! As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Junyi’s figure disappeared from the spot.

“Brother Junyi!” Seeing Chu Junyi jumping into the tent, Xiao Huanxi shouted with a heart-wrenching voice! Brother Junyi ignored the snakes to save that bitch! Why, why on earth is he doing this!

At this moment, Shen Ninghua, Qing Que and Bi Zhu were sitting on the bed in the tent. The ground was filled with vipers. Because they were in a relatively higher position and had sprinkled some medicinal powder, no snake was crawling up for now.

Chu Junyi rushed in. Seeing that Shen Ninghua was safe and sound, he heaved a sigh of relief and almost landed in the group of snakes.

Fortunately, under Shen Ninghua’s orders, Qing Que tossed a pillow under his feet and saved him from the difficult situation.

Chu Junyi stepped on the pillow and jumped onto the bed.

Shen Ninghua stared at Chu Junyi without blinking her eyes, and her expression was filled with doubt. “Why did you come in?”

Looking at her puzzled expression, Chu Junyi gritted his teeth and said, “Why didn’t you go out?” Because he was afraid that the voice would be heard by others, he spoke in a low voice, but the anger within was obvious.

“Someone dared to plot against me with the swarm of snakes and I have to return the favor. If I went out, I would alert them.”

“So you risked your own life?” Chu Junyi’s eyes burst into flames, and he wished he could pull her up and spank her twice fiercely.

Shen Ninghua nodded without noticing his emotions. “Well, if I remain in the tent now, they will definitely stay where they are and let people save me. The later it gets into the night, the more effective the Wanying pollen is, and the more vipers it will attract. Even if the vipers can’t bite them to death, I still feel relieved to see them scared out of their wits. At this time, the people outside dare not run away leaving me alone here!”

“You…” Chu Junyi’s face turned red with anger. This black-hearted girl was actually so vicious even towards herself. “Aren’t you afraid that you will be bitten by the snakes?”

He gritted his teeth so much that Shen Ninghua finally noticed that his mood was abnormal. She couldn’t help but look up towards him.

Chu Junyi frowned slightly. His forehead was covered in sweats. His pitch-black eyes seemed to be filled with anger, but behind his anger was uncontrollable concern. His gaze was too focused and hot, like a stone heavily hitting Shen Ninghua in the chest.

If he wasn’t too nervous, how could he, who had practiced martial arts to the point of being invulnerable to coldness and heat, be covered in sweats…

She was used to planning everything by herself, and to plotting against her enemies by risking her life. She had no sense of fear at all when taking risks. She even thought that she was invulnerable to all poisons and attacks. However, when she saw his worried gaze, she suddenly felt a little sad.

She was touched, but she was unwilling to admit defeat. “Snakes don’t dare to bite me!”

Seeing her stubborn attitude, Chu Junyi couldn’t suppress the anger in his heart. He knelt down in front of her and suddenly pulled her into his arms. Then, he bit down on her delicate neck! He fiercely thought in his heart.

“Damn black-hearted girl, the snakes didn’t bite you, but I will!”

Shen Ninghua was completely stunned. The dense pain in her neck did not even make her restore her senses. She was bitten…

Even Bai Ruo and Qing Que were too shocked to stop him.

Feeling the warmth and smooth skin between his teeth, Chu Junyi’s fury suddenly calmed down. His heart trembled, and he was both satisfied and afraid. Being able to be so close to his beloved, he felt that his entire heart was filled with satisfaction, but he was afraid that his actions were rash and would frighten his beautiful sweetheart!

Chu Junyi knew in his heart that he should let go of her, but such a wonderful feeling made him unwilling to…

Just as he was thinking about what to do, he heard Shen Ninghua’s cold voice. “Have you had enough biting me?”

“…No.”

“Get up!”

Just as the two of them were in a stalemate, a commotion finally came from the door. Baili Jinchuan brought his people in and asked, “Ninghua, are you alright?”

As soon as he entered the tent, he saw Chu Junyi hugging Shen Ninghua in his arms. Immediately, a tyrannical aura swept over his entire body. Chu Junyi touched the girl he liked. Damn it!
