Chapter 172: Chapter 172: The Disrespectful One Brings a Demon Child
A hint of pure bewilderment appeared in the massive python’s eyes.
Gu Zhao looked at it. "You’re chasing me. Did I eat something of yours??"
The giant python was silent for two seconds, then shook its head.
"Did I steal your wife?"
The python shook its head.
Gu Zhao got angry. "Did I steal your home?"
The python shook its head again. ’The ones who stole my home, beat me, and cursed me were two ugly freaks.’
’They weren’t this good-looking.’
"Then you must have nothing better to do!!"
The giant python got angry too, flicking its tongue with a HISSS.
"I can’t understand a word you’re saying!"
There was no way to communicate! But the giant python was clearly hostile toward her.
’Is it insane?!’
The giant python was furious too! Its tail suddenly wrapped around Gu Zhao and Gu Xulin.
It then carried them away.
Gu Xulin jumped in fright. Gu Zhao balled her fist, about to punch it, but then stopped.
She could feel that the python’s tail wasn’t squeezing them with any lethal force.
"Zhaozhao! Brother Lin!" The few people who had rushed over to help were dumbfounded.
’Zhaozhao and Brother Lin were actually captured!’
Song Zhe was frantic. "It’s not going to take Brother Lin and the others back to its nest to eat them, is it?!"
Jiang Yuchen frowned. "Most snakes don’t bring their prey back to their nests to eat. They usually feed on the spot or nearby after a successful hunt."
"From what I know, this kind of python is the same."
Song Zhe didn’t get it. "Then what’s it doing?! Carrying them back to be its wife?!"
He knew animals were obsessed with and crazy about Gu Zhao, but this was too much!
’She’s still just a kid!’
Zhong Siqi sighed. "Let’s follow them first."
Gu Zhao leisurely narrowed her eyes. "Brother! This snake is actually pretty cool!"
"It’s nice and chilly, perfect for hugging while you sleep in the summer!"
Gu Xulin should have been used to it, but he was still speechless.
The giant python’s body paused for a moment, then it continued forward.
Meanwhile, out at sea, Gu Huaiyan was nervously watching the livestream.
"Second Brother, those animals aren’t helping at all!"
Gu Yunqi replied, "Well, it’s not like she’s been eaten. Can’t you calm down a little?"
"Besides! With her strength, it’s a blessing she hasn’t just smashed the snake’s head in."
...
「By the Shenquan Spring.」
Yu Weitao and Yu Zhenghao were leisurely filtering water.
Yu Zhenghao was still shaken, but Yu Weitao was already smiling and continuing his lecture of professional knowledge to the drone camera.
"Brother, that big snake isn’t coming back, is it...?"
He was terrified. ’What if the snake wasn’t full and came back for them?!’
Yu Weitao was perfectly calm. "We’ll leave as soon as we’ve collected enough clean water."
He was also a little confused. ’By now, that snake should have already eaten them.’
’Why is the drone still filming? Is the director that calm?’
He was just waiting for the variety show to be suspended. Then he could ride this wave of attention and play the victim.
That would earn him far more than the show’s appearance fee.
The two of them filled a container made of leaves with the clean, filtered water and carefully carried it away.
A moment later, they returned. They started throwing handfuls of dirt into the spring. The spring wasn’t very large, and after a few throws, the water became murky.
That wasn’t enough. They also tore up all the large leaves nearby and threw them into the water.
Yu Weitao calmly explained to the drone, "This won’t affect the ecosystem. The water will clear up again soon, and the fish in the water will eat the leaves."
"Please rest assured, Da Yu and Little Yu would never do anything to harm nature! But since this is a competition, there’s bound to be rivalry. We hope everyone can view this rationally."
The netizens were so angry they started laughing.
[Rationally? I can’t be rational about this! Fouling a perfectly good water source? This kind of tactic is shameless! Not to mention you were the one who led the giant python to them! Where’s your conscience?!]
[The water will recover? The leaves will be eaten? You think you own the ecosystem, to mess with it however you please? This is ridiculously infuriating!]
[What kind of person are you?! So full of it!]
[Gu Zhao gets captured by a snake, and not only does he feel no guilt, he pollutes the water just to get an edge on her team! What a moron!]
The Yu Weitao brothers didn’t care in the slightest. Negative publicity was still publicity.
Worst case, they’d just make new accounts and carry on.
They hadn’t broken any rules! Either way, the money would end up in their pockets.
Meanwhile, the giant python came to a stop.
It had brought the two to a rock on high ground. On the rock, a tortoise larger than Gu Zhao herself was sunbathing.
The python tossed Gu Zhao and Gu Xulin aside, then its tail whipped out and struck the tortoise’s shell, flipping it onto its back.
"Ouch, ouch, here comes the disrespectful one again!" the tortoise said, slowly trying to right itself. Its tone was so practiced it sounded like this happened all the time.
It struggled and struggled...
"Hey, you! The tall, clueless two-legger! Can you give me a hand?"
Tired, it looked at Gu Xulin.
Gu Xulin just stared, utterly bewildered.
"Brother, go flip him over." Gu Zhao was thrilled to see such a huge tortoise! Especially since it could talk!
’And it seems to know the big snake really well.’
[HOLY!! What a huge tortoise! It must be at least a hundred years old!]
[So the python didn’t eat them just so it could bring the Monkey King here to watch it bully a tortoise?]
Gu Xulin tentatively took a few steps. Seeing that the python didn’t intend to stop him, he hurried forward and flipped the tortoise upright.
However, the moment he did, the python’s tail flicked out and knocked the tortoise over again.
Gu Xulin: "..."
The tortoise: "..."
"Damn you! You disrespectful, stinky snake! If I were a little younger, I’d fight you for eight hundred rounds!"
"I’d teach you how to be a proper snake!"
The python snorted coldly and turned its head away.
Gu Xulin stared at the big snake for a long time. Only when he was sure it wasn’t going to move did he quickly flip the old tortoise upright again.
With its feet firmly on the ground, the old tortoise stretched its neck. "Ah, that’s better."
The old tortoise sniffed the air. Its expression grew bewildered, then turned cold.
It followed the scent with its eyes and saw Gu Zhao.
"No wonder."
Gu Zhao was confused. "What?"
The old tortoise didn’t seem at all surprised that Gu Zhao could understand it.
"No wonder the big python hates you. You have the same aura as *her*."
Gu Zhao was not happy. "Who? Can you just say it?! Stop talking in riddles! People who talk in riddles usually kick the bucket before they can get to the answer!"
The old tortoise: ’...Now she sounds even more like *her*.’
"A woman. She could understand us, just like you. But she was taller, and thinner..." The old tortoise looked at Gu Zhao, thought for a moment, and added.
"She was more impolite."
The old tortoise mused, ’This little one is actually pretty well-behaved, not like that other one!’
’The first time she saw me, she looked at me and drooled!’
’She actually wanted to eat me!’
Gu Zhao: "You didn’t have to say those first two things!"
"You impolite old tortoise!"
The old tortoise decided to take back its words! This little one was impolite too!
The giant python, getting impatient, smacked the old tortoise over again.
The old tortoise was furious. "You do it then! You mute snake, always causing trouble!"
The giant python kept smacking it, spinning it like a top.
Gu Zhao pulled the bewildered Gu Xulin over to a nearby rock to sit down and calmly enjoy the show.
"Tsk, tsk. Hey, big snake, did you not eat today? The shell’s barely spinning! The old tortoise is about to fall asleep!"
Hearing this, the python struck even harder.
"Old Tortoise, your body is spinning but your mouth is idle! Curse it out! You’re not actually chickening out, are you?!"
The old tortoise: "I’ll **** your ****** you **** dog**!"
Gu Zhao nodded in satisfaction.
Gu Xulin silently pondered, ’I’m Zhaozhao’s best brother, right? I haven’t offended her, have I?’
’From now on, I should just be part of the audience...’
