This move was great, no doubt about it.
Qian was indeed very moved.
Even though she was quite unhappy with his foolishness and roundabout actions, he had carried her all this way and made such a heartfelt confession that all her irritation vanished.
But when she saw the thing suddenly appear ahead, the feeling turned into horror.
"There's a snake!" she whispered into his ear, instinctively covering her mouth to stifle her scream, knowing that shouting would only draw the snake's attention without helping at all.
Yu Minglang looked in the direction Qian indicated and saw a green snake leisurely slither into the grass at the edge of the slope they were about to climb, leaving half its tail outside.
"Is it venomous?" Qian asked.
"We lucked out," Yu Minglang said casually.
"Oh, it's not venomous then." Qian breathed a sigh of relief. She recalled reading that not all green snakes are poisonous; a type called the green bamboo snake is completely harmless.
