Chapter 659: Chapter 659 Ancient Hook Snake: Qin Ruan, the Master really likes you

Rong Jing’s arm was draped over Xia Yunchen’s shoulder, holding up his other arm, he started taking photos with his phone.

In front of the camera, Xia Yunchen always appeared as a dazzlingly charismatic man that ordinary people could only admire from afar.

Qin Ruan pulled her gaze back, glancing at Changyuan, who was standing beside her.

One of them had a serene gaze, as calm as a deep pool, while the other revealed a hint of savageness in his eyes and brows.

The two fell into a tense standoff.

Qin Ruan’s red lips faintly parted, mouthing two silent words to Changyuan: "Can we talk?"

Although she was some distance away from Xia Yunchen, she deliberately remained silent.

Changyuan narrowed his blood-red eyes, remained silent for a while, and then slowly nodded his head.

The woman and the snake parallelly walked into the sparse forest.

After walking for a while, Qin Ruan stopped in her tracks.

She looked up, her serene eyes staring at Changyuan: "If you continue to behave like this, you will only harm Xia Yunchen. He is a human and his body cannot endure such strong demonic energy and evil Qi."

"I know!" Changyuan sneered derisively, his gaze like a blade as it bore into Qin Ruan, "I have been trying this for a short period of time to see if our master can accept the snake’s existence in his dreams."

Qin Ruan slightly raises her eyebrows, "When do you plan to stop?"

Changyuan’s blood-red eyes emitted a chilling, icy glow. In an agitated voice, he remarked, "If there’s no result in another two days, then I will quit."

With her hands in her pockets, Qin Ruan humphed lightly, "Given Xia Yunchen’s clear aversion earlier, do you think this method is feasible?"

Changyuan’s thin lips formed a straight line, his eyebrows were tightly knit as his face turned icy and ominous.

The master’s intolerance of the snake was getting worse.

Qin Ruan: "Don’t force him anymore, think of another way."

Changyuan, looking listless, revealed a pained expression on his tense, handsome face: "I... I can’t think of any other way."

He had thought of all he could and attempted all feasible solutions, yet the master still couldn’t accept it.

The weight of Changyuan’s pain was so heavy, it was like a lion driven into a dead end, violently enraged yet pitiful.

Qin Ruan creased her brows in sympathy and asked, "What methods have you tried previously?"

Changyuan’s body suddenly stiffened, as he recalled his previous actions, his face turned even more gloomy.

None of those methods had shown any effect. Otherwise, he wouldn’t still be lurking in the shadows, guarding the master like an invisible guardian.

Qin Ruan didn’t prod, she just quietly watched Changyuan.

Changyuan stayed silent for quite a while before he reluctantly admitted, "When the master is home, I bring docile snakes near him, hoping that he would gradually adapt and accept it one day.

But whenever our master sees the snake, he freezes in fear. The servants heard his screams and came running to drive away the snake."

He even hired professionals to fumigate the house, blocking the chance of any snake invasion."

Even when he is watching TV at home, it would suddenly switch to channels showing snakes. I also discreetly placed artistic drawings of beautiful female snakes in front of him..."

Changyuan disclosed all the foolish actions he had been taking for the past one or two months.

Upon hearing this, Qin Ruan frowned: "Xia Yunchen’s fear of snakes should be a fear rooted in his soul. It must not have been caused in this lifetime. Do you understand what I mean?"

Normal people’s fear of snakes is not as extreme as Xia Yunchen’s.

Changyuan stared deeply into Qin Ruan’s eyes, pursed his lips but found himself unable to refute her words.

Thinking about their past interactions, he couldn’t help but say: "The master was never afraid of me before. I used to mess with him, and he would get mad at me, constantly threatening to roast and eat me."

"I don’t know why master is afraid of snakes. I’ve been with him for so long, I have never seen him afraid of anything else."

Suddenly, Qin Ruan asked: "What is your master’s identity?"

Changyuan’s distinctively handsome face froze for a moment, followed by a shake of his head: "I don’t know."

He was lying.

Qin Ruan noticed that, but chose not to probe any further.

If he didn’t want to share, she couldn’t force him to.

Xia Yunchen is a virtuous and good person, his identity must not be simple.

Qin Ruan directed a pitiful gaze at Changyuan: "I feel helpless too. To solve Xia Yunchen’s phobia of snakes, we need to address its root cause. If you keep placing anything related to snakes or your true form in front of him, it will only shock him further and increase his repulsion."

Changyuan opened his mouth, but he couldn’t say anything.

He couldn’t understand why the master was afraid of snakes, even if he pondered to the point of scratching his scales.

Qin Ruan slightly narrowed her deep eyes, her gaze resting on Changyuan’s body.

Seeing his dispirited state, she gently advised in a low voice, "You are filled with potent ancient demonic energy, and your evil Qi is more lethal than a puppet demon. If you want your master to live longer, stop doing foolish things."

Changyuan’s eyes widened slightly: "You’re the one who should eat walnuts!"

"Walnuts?"

Qin Ruan knit her brows, looking puzzled.

Changyuan curled the corner of his lips, lifting his chin slightly in a scornful manner, "You called me foolish before and told me to eat more walnuts. Now you’re calling me a fool again."

"..." On Qin Ruan’s baby-fat face, a slight distortion appeared.

He could remember something that far back. This snake sure held grudges!

Qin Ruan exhaled a breath of air, consoling herself that she wouldn’t lower herself to argue with a snake. It was a cold-blooded creature without any cerebrum, devoid of empathy and inherently brutal.

The most important point being, he was a notorious ancient beast, the Hook Snake. Talking to him was like playing the lute to a cow.

Qin Ruan adjusted her mentality, and sarcastically said to Changyuan, "I’ve said my piece. The relationship between your master, you, and me is nil."

They were essentially strangers meeting by chance. Formally speaking, her relationship with Xia Yunchen was merely based on a contract of employment.

Only when it came to Xia Yunchen, did Changyuan show some obsession.

Currently, the indifference in Qin Ruan’s words made him a bit uncomfortable when he heard it.

Changyuan stared at Qin Ruan, his voice softer: "There’s no need to push me away like this. The master still likes you a lot."

Qin Ruan looked him over from top to bottom, her eyes playful: "He likes me? Do you know what ’like’ means?"

With a calm nod, Changyuan replied, "The master treats you differently from other women."

Qin Ruan wrinkled her brows, "What’s the difference?"

Changyuan replied calmly, "Whenever you are present, he pays special attention to you."

Qin Ruan really hadn’t noticed how much more attention Xia Yunchen paid to her.

Their interactions were always like those of regular acquaintances, without any extraneous relationship implied.

She examined Changyuan from head to tail, a trace of doubt surfacing in her eyes.

Could it be that this snake was applying the survival rules of its species directly to humans?

To her knowledge, snakes had no concept of boundaries. If a male snake and female snake took a fancy to each other, they could mate forthrightly.

Qin Ruan’s gaze was quite peculiar, making Changyuan feel uneasy. He shifted his focus away.

His blood-red eyes suddenly drooped, a sharp gaze locked onto the figure approaching them.

"Madam."

Huo Qiang slowly approached, his voice following suit.

Qin Ruan raised her head to look at the figure of the man coming towards them, "What is it?"

Standing next to Qin Ruan, Huo Qiang felt that this area seemed colder, compared to the path he had walked on coming here.

In a respectful tone, he relayed to Qin Ruan, "Master has been held up at the banquet. Since he found out that you’re leaving, he has ordered us to escort you home."

"Okay, I understand."

Qin Ruan turned her head and called for Rong Jing.
