The Evil Prince and his Precious Wife: The Sly Lady

Chapter 148: Indifference

Translator: Guy Gone Bad

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Those thin and long water snakes jumped at Yuan Fangfei and entangled her ankles. Yuan Fangfei immediately pulled out a dagger and swayed it at those snakes. Instantly those snakes were cut into halves and fell into the lake, making circles of ripples...

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Murong Xue was also swaying her sword to chop off those snakes and then kicked them into the lake. But more and more snakes kept crawling onto the deck...

Yuan Fangfei frowned, “More and more snakes are gathering, like we can never kill them all. We have to figure a way out...”

“Have you come up with one?” asked Murong Xue randomly while swaying her sword to kill those snakes.

“No!” Yuan Fangfei shook her head desperately. She was most good at fighting the enemies. When she was at a war, she could at least come up with tens of methods to win. But she had never fought with snakes. She had no idea how to deal with them at all...

“Ah...” The screaming sound pieced through the clouds. Murong Xue raised her head and saw two or three three–to-four-meter-long snakes were crawling onto the high platform and pouncing at those women folks...

Murong Rou, Madam Zhou and Song Qingyan were also among them, who were retreating backwards with the crowd. Suddenly they missed their steps and fell into the lake!

“Help...Help...” Murong Rou couldn’t swim. She was shouting for help while struggling in water.

“Help...”Madam Zhou was also shouting for help with her body floating up and down in the water.

Song Qingyan had learnt how to swim for a few days, so she knew a bit how to swim. She was struggling in the water, trying to let her head stay above water while quickly scanning around. Suddenly she saw Murong Xue on the pleasure boat. Her eyes shone, “Xue’er my cousin, help me....help me...”

Madam Zhou was stunned. She followed the way Song Qingyan was looking at and saw Murong Xue and the giant pleasure boat. Her eyes also immediately shone with hope, “Murong Xue, row the boat here...” One could tell she was ordering Murong Xue through her tone!

She was still so arrogant while begging others to save her?! Was she out of her mind?

Murong Xue snorted in her heart and said indifferently, “I’m busy killing those snakes. Don’t have time to row the boat...”

“You...” Madam Du got choked by her words. She then stared at Murong Xue, with rage under her eyes.

Song Qingyan blinked her eyes and immediately cried, “Xue’er my cousin, I am sorry. I shouldn’t have stopped you sitting on the high platform. It was all my fault. I can understand if you don’t save me. But please save my mother and my aunt. They are also your elders. You can’t watch them die without doing anything...”

Now people’s eyes all fell on Murong Xue. They all knew Murong Xue and Song Qingyan were old enemies. Song Qingyan was not right to insult her, but after all she was Murong Xue’s cousin, Murong Rou was her father’s sister, and Madam Zhou was her second uncle’s wife. If Murong Xue transferred her anger on them at such a critical moment, she was too blinkered...

Murong Xue sneered. So Song Qingyan tried to use the public voice to push her to save them. Well, since they asked for death, she’d make them!

Murong Xue looked at Song Qingan and said word by word, “It’s not that I don’t want to save you. It’s also very dangerous here on the boat. Are you sure you want to come up?”

“Sure, sure!” Song Qingyan, Madam Zhou and Murong Rou all nodded. Could it be more dangerous than in the water?

“OK. That is your choice. Don’t blame me if something happens.” said Murong Xue in a deep voice, with kind of imposing expression.

“Of course not. We will never blame you. Pull us onto the boat.” they all urged. They thought Murong Xue was just trying to scare them. Of course they wouldn’t buy it.

“OK!” Murong Xue nodded, with kind of weird smile flashing on her face. She grasped the brown long whip on the ground and threw it beside Song Qingyan, wrapped it around her slim waist and pulled her up.

Song Qingyan then squatted on the deck, like a drowned rat, with water dripping. She was breathing deeply and finally felt relieved. She was on the boat now. She wouldn’t get drowned. That was great news!

After coughing heavily a few times, she felt something soft under her palm when she was trying to loosen up. Besides, the deck under her was also moving...

Song Qingyan was surprised. She then lowered her head and saw numerous snakes were crawling onto her arms, her waist...That kind of soft but cold feeling made one’s hair stand on end...

“Ah...Ah...Ah...” Song Qingyan screamed and immediately got up. With all snakes on her body, she rushed to the edge of the boat and jumped back into the clear lake...

All kinds of water snakes were entangling Song Qingyan. She was struggling and screaming, but still could not shake them off.

Murong Rou and Madam Zhou got pop-eyed and then noticed that numerous snakes were crawling onto the pleasure boat where Murong Xue was at. The color of the snakes was quite similar to the boat. Since they far from the boat, plus they were all panicked, they didn’t notice it at all...

“Aunt Rou, Aunt Zhou, what about I pull you onto the boat?” a female voice came from the boat, which made Murong Rou and Madam Zhou chill. When they raised their heads with panic, they saw Murong Xue was trying to throwing the long whip at them on the boat...

“No, no, we are good here...” Madam Zhou shook her head. It were all snakes everywhere on the boat. They would be dead if they got onto the boat. It was safer to stay in water...

“Come on! I am your niece. How can I watch you die?” speaking of which smilingly, Murong Xue was trying to throw the long whip at them.

Madam Zhou was struggling backwards, screaming, “It’s not that you don’t wanna save us. It’s just we’d rather stay here in the water...Xue, leave us alone please.” At last Madam Zhou already choked with sobs with big teardrops flowing down her cheeks, looking quite pitiful...

Murong Xue raised her eyebrows and said slowly, “So you asked for it. You don’t wanna get onto the boat. It’s not that I don’t want to save you.”

“Sure, sure, sure. We choose to stay in water. It’s none of your business...” said Madam Zhou hurriedly, with joys in her eyes: So Murong Xue gives up forcing them onto the boat. It’s great!

Murong Xue responded and took back her whip, with her lips curled up: A drama will be on soon!

“Mom, aunt, help!” A screaming sound was heard from behind. Madam Zhou turned around and saw Song Qingyan get bitten on her arms. Two or three snakes on her arms fell into water and were swimming towards her and Murong Rou...
