One of Xie Ming'an's men kicked open the outer courtyard gate.
The Divine Woman's female attendant turned pale with shock, her voice coarse as she shouted, "Who are you people? How dare you trespass on private property!"
Xie Ming'an, who was in the lead, had a dark expression as he surveyed the courtyard.
With a cold look, he strode forward and shoved aside the attendant who tried to block his path.
Then, he violently pushed the door open and burst inside.
"Shen Ningning, you—!" His lecturing tone came to an abrupt halt when he saw the scene inside the room.
A long, green snake was coiled around the little girl's shoulders.
Its cold, reptilian eyes were staring at him with intense vigilance, its tongue flicking in and out with a HISS.
The way the long snake was wrapped around her arm and shoulder resembled a celestial fairy's silk sash.
Shen Ningning's small face was calm.
In contrast, the woman on the floor was clutching her neck, gasping for breath.
