Chapter 51: The Wife-Protecting Madman Goes Online
Inside that Ten Thousand Snakes Pit, countless long snakes were actually crawling all over A Yue's body, and A Yue, bitten all over and covered in blood, lay on the ground, looking like she was on her last breath.
"Ying…"
A Yue found that she could not even speak. She had originally wanted to kill this Nan Qinghuan, but she had never expected… She regretted it so much her intestines turned green.
"Ying, you're here?"
Nan Qinghuan was currently standing inside the snake pit watching the show. Those snakes did not attack her at all; instead, they stayed far away from her.
A trace of heartache flashed through Ying's eyes. He reached out to pull her up. "Huaner, come up quickly."
Nan Qinghuan had not expected Ying to find her. She had watched enough of the show, and this A Yue had reaped what she sowed tonight. She was very satisfied.
Soon, the Mammoth that Ying had brought stretched out its trunk and rolled her entire body up, then carefully carried her out of the snake pit. When the Mammoth set her down, Ying quickly stepped forward and scooped her into his arms, even lifting her high up. "That's wonderful, Huaner is fine."
"The Goddess is fine, the Goddess is fine!"
"The Heavenly God protects us!"
The tribespeople began to cheer. The originally silent Forest became lively because of the Tribe people's arrival, startling the birds in the trees into fleeing in all directions.
"Sister Qinghuan, you scared Axi to death!"
Axi kept crying beside her. Nan Qinghuan felt her head spinning. "Ying, put me down."
Only then did Ying put her down, but he held her in his arms, unable to let go. "Let's go, we're heading back."
"Ying, the Shamaness is still down there?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone remembered that A Yue was still in the Ten Thousand Snakes Pit. A Yue shook off a few snakes and pleaded upward, "Ying, tribespeople, save me, save me!"
Ying's gaze was sharp and cold. By the light of the Bonfire, he took a deep look at A Yue in the snake pit. He knew A Yue had snake medicine and would not be bitten to death, but she must pay the price tonight.
A female who tried to harm his mate—he would never let her off lightly!
"Leave A Yue as food for the snakes. Let's go."
"No, Ying, you can't treat me like this, you can't treat me like this!"
A Yue could never have imagined that Ying would treat her this way. He actually disregarded her life and death to leave with this female? She suddenly felt her heart pierced by knives. Those snakes were still gnawing on her feet. Although she was not afraid of snake venom, but…it hurt.
Ying turned to leave, wanting those snakes to bite A Yue to death. Nan Qinghuan naturally did not want to bother with A Yue either. She glanced at A Yue trapped in the snake pit. "You wanted to frame me and get me bitten to death by snakes, and look how that turned out. A Yue, there's a saying from our homeland: harming others ultimately harms yourself. Whether you live or die has nothing to do with us."
Nan Qinghuan dropped these words and was about to leave with Ying. Seeing Ying leave, the tribespeople all turned and followed him. A few tribespeople felt that A Yue was truly pitiful, so they could not harden their hearts completely and tossed down a stick for her to climb up with.
"Shamaness."
The elders of the Tribe urged her to face reality. "Stop going against A Mu. Ying nearly killed you tonight."
A Yue was wearing little to begin with, and she was covered in wounds from the snake bites. Fortunately, she carried Medicine Powder with her, otherwise she would have been bitten to death by those snakes tonight.
She wiped the blood from her lips. "She is a Snake Woman."
"Snake Woman?"
Several elderly tribespeople stared at A Yue with wide eyes. "Don't talk nonsense. Last time you said A Mu was a demoness, and she is a Goddess."
"What Goddess? She is a Snake Woman. Those snakes all avoided her and only bit me. Also, the three Giant Pythons here stopped attacking when they saw her. Those strange eyes of hers are the proof. Snake Woman—stop right there!"
"A Yue…"
A Yue went mad, chasing after Nan Qinghuan and Ying. She wanted to expose Nan Qinghuan's identity as a Snake Woman in front of Ying and the tribespeople. Soon, she caught up with them.
"Ying, stop!"
Ying and Nan Qinghuan heard her chasing after them. Dashan hurriedly said, "Ying, A Yue is coming."
Nan Qinghuan was being carried by Ying. She actually wanted to see what tricks this woman still had up her sleeve. She quickly shifted her body. "Ying, put me down."
Ying was somewhat reluctant to let go. He had plenty of strength, and carrying Nan Qinghuan was effortless. He was still full of regret—if something had happened to Huaner, what would he have done? So, he would hold her for as long as he could.
"Ying, tribespeople, listen to me. Nan Qinghuan is a Snake Woman. I saw it with my own eyes. The snakes in the Ten Thousand Snakes Pit did not bite her. She is the legendary Snake Woman!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone gasped. "A Yue, stop talking nonsense. A Snake Woman is a man-eating monster. Qinghuan is nothing of the sort. You failed to harm Qinghuan and now you're spouting this rubbish?"
Axi never expected that the Sister A Yue she once admired had now become a lunatic, daring to say such things.
"I'm talking nonsense? Look at her body and see if there are any snake bite marks. I admit it, Ying, I wanted to push her down to be bitten to death by snakes, but…"
"But those snakes only bit you, A Yue, and not me. You claim I'm some Snake Woman based on that alone—now that is truly absurd."
Nan Qinghuan, being held by Ying, did not lose any of her imposing air. But Ying suddenly set her down, which instantly made her a little worried. Could it be that this man did not believe her? "Ying…"
"Huaner, you don't need to say anymore. I know everything. A Yue, you've tried to harm Qinghuan time and again. This time, I will not spare you."
A Yue saw Ying suddenly flare up. "What do you mean? You want to kill me?"
Ying's gaze was sharp and cold. "Dashan, bring my axe."
As soon as these words came out, everyone whispered among themselves. The Shamaness was about to face punishment under the Tribe Rules.
Dashan had long been unable to stand A Yue. She occupied the identity of some Shamaness to make people worship her, but what had she actually done herself? "Ying, the stone axe is here."
"Ying, what are you trying to do? You want to chop off my hand?"
A Yue kept backing away in fright, scared enough that tears streamed down. This also stunned Nan Qinghuan. Looking at Ying's deadpan serious expression, she was actually a little afraid of him.
"Axi, what are the Tribe Rules?"
Axi only whispered softly in her ear, "Qinghuan, don't watch in a moment."
Nan Qinghuan gasped. Seeing Ying personally holding the stone axe, she instantly understood. "Ying, you're going to chop off her hand?"
Ying swept a cold glance at A Yue. "A Yue, as the Shamaness, has repeatedly targeted my female. She has violated the Tribe Rules. According to the rules, one hand must be chopped off as punishment."
"Chop off a hand?"
Nan Qinghuan walked to his side. Ying was about to say that if she couldn't bear to watch, she should turn away, but to his surprise, Nan Qinghuan said, "Do you want me to help?"
"Huaner…"
Ying suddenly laughed low. His Huaner was indeed commendably brave.
"Dashan, grab A Yue."
Now it was A Yue's turn to panic. She turned to run, but was seized by Dashan and Ji Lei. Dashan grabbed her arm and hoisted her entire body up. "Still want to run?"
A Yue struggled and pleaded incessantly. "Let me go! Ying, you can't chop off my hand! I beg you, I was wrong, please don't chop off my hand!"
