"I'm sending you off from a thousand miles away..."
Such a powerful voice, it was unexpected!
Xiao Yi was already immune to it, he just looked up at her, a hint of helplessness on his lips.
But Master Gu couldn't take it!
Master Gu, a man of military campaigns approaching fifty, how could he withstand this stimulation!
"Sending you off from a thousand miles away..." Was he being sent away directly?!
He clutched his heart and took two steps back: "This girl... this girl's singing... this girl's singing is deadly..."
Xia Weiliang just stared at Xiao Lan. As expected, Xiao Lan, who had been asleep, now lifted its head—
Snakes cannot perceive sound waves transmitted through the air, but they are extremely sensitive to vibrations on the ground.
This means that Xia Weiliang's singing was so shocking— no, its varied, strange, sharp, and stimulating voice waves had caused strong tremors in the surrounding objects. Therefore, Xiao Lan could sense her singing at the earliest moment, even before humans.
Xiao Lan tilted its head and looked at her, its 5.0 eyes focused intently on her.
Xia Weiliang tried to turn her head to the left, and it followed to the left.
Then, to the right.
Look up.
Look down.
Watching Xiao Lan follow her in this series of movements, Master Gu's expression froze in shock.
Xiao Yi, on the other hand, frowned suspiciously and turned to ask Master Gu, "This snake..."
He was an atheist, but this snake was clearly unusual.
Knowing what he wanted to ask, Master Gu also gave a wry smile. "It cost me a full eight figures to buy this snake back then. This snake has two 'horns' on its head, and it's not a horned viper. The local superstitions treat it as a divine being. You know, I like to collect these strange and bizarre things, but I don't believe in them. However, looking at it now..."
This snake was indeed very perplexing!
Looking at Xia Weiliang and Xiao Lan again, it seemed like they were getting addicted.
Her body quickly tilted to the right, and Xiao Lan immediately followed to the right. But then she feigned a move and sharply turned left!
"Haha... you lost!!"
Xiao Lan wasn't angry, it just raised its body and looked at her.
But after that, it learned what a feint was. No matter how she faked, it never lost.
This terrible desire to win was unmatched by any snake.
When it got tired of playing, Xiao Lan crawled back onto her hand, coiled into two circles, covered its head with its tail, and continued to sleep.
With the previous experience, no one dared to touch it this time.
Master Gu looked at Xiao Lan, then at Xia Weiliang, and said, "It seems you truly have a connection with this snake."
Back then, when he insisted on buying this snake, the seller had said that the snake's reaction would show whether he was the fated person.
Master Gu never believed in such things, thinking it was just a way to create mystery and inflate the price. He had seen it many times!
Therefore, he directly offered a sky-high price of ten million, and without a word, the seller handed over the snake.
Looking back now, the reason the seller handed it over was not because of the price, or perhaps they had foreseen this encounter.
Whatever.
Master Gu was someone who appreciated a good deed. Moreover, he already had a good impression of Xia Weiliang. This girl looked like her mother, and her personality was truly likable. It was fine to give it away.
"You can take this snake with you."
Xia Weiliang looked at Xiao Yi, as if asking him, "May I?"
Xiao Yi smiled, "You probably can't leave without taking it."
He could tell that this snake had no intention of leaving her.
He took out his phone and sent a message to Lian Jun. Soon, Master Gu received a notification of payment, and it was double the amount.
Master Gu paused, frowned, "This is a gift from me to the young lady. If you pay for it, is it still a gift?"
Xiao Yi said, "Master Gu's items are all exquisite. I have no reason to take them without paying."
Master Gu knew his character and said nothing. He turned and rummaged through a shelf, finding a small square box.
He walked over and opened it. Inside was an emerald bracelet. At least six emeralds, each of 25 carats, were inlaid, with a large diamond in the center as a highlight. This bracelet alone was worth far more than ten million.
Xia Weiliang, as a young lady from the Xia family, had seen plenty of such things. With just one glance, she knew it was valuable.
"This is Master Gu's gift to you."
Master Gu directly put the bracelet into her hand.
"No, no, Master Gu, this is too precious!"
Master Gu glared at Xiao Yi, who smiled, "Accept it."
Xia Weiliang felt an immense pressure.
First, she had "kidnapped" someone's snake. Although she was also "extorted" by the snake, perhaps it was a one-of-a-kind limited edition globally.
Then, receiving a bracelet, how many barrels of "Xiao Le" would she have to sell, or how many times would she have to open "Modi" to earn it!
Master Gu smiled, "That's right! Xiao Yi, hurry and put it on her!"
Xiao Yi was obedient. He stepped forward and put the bracelet on her other wrist, making her skin look even fairer and more beautiful.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Xiao Yi prepared to leave with Xia Weiliang.
Master Gu personally escorted her to the door, "Miss Xia..."
"Master Gu, please don't be so polite. Just call me Xiao Liang."
"Hehe, Xiao Liang, you must visit often in the future!"
Master Gu, like a kind elder, patted her head. "Just call me when you want to come, and I'll send someone to pick you up."
"Okay, I will."
Xia Weiliang smiled and waved to him as she walked a few steps away.
The blue snake on her wrist, unmoving, was tightly coiled, looking from afar like a leather bracelet.
Yan Zhi and Da Yang were waiting in the car. Seeing Xia Weiliang get in, they were about to speak when they saw Xiao Lan on her wrist, "Holy crap! What is that?!"
"Oh my god! This toy is made so well!"
Slowly, Xiao Lan raised its head...
"Ah!!!"
"Holy hell!!!"
—
When Xia Weiliang was sent to the Xia residence, Su Hui was standing at the door.
"Weiliang!"
Seeing her get out of the car, Su Hui's face lit up with surprise, and her eyes turned red.
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back!"
Seeing her again, Xia Weiliang felt much calmer and politely called out, "Madam Xia."
Hearing these three words, Su Hui's eyes immediately dimmed, and her voice trembled slightly, "Weiliang, you..."
Just then, the car door behind them opened.
Xiao Yi got out of the car.
"Is this... is this Xiao Yi?"
Su Hui looked at them in surprise.
Xiao Yi politely said, "I am Xiao Yi. Hello, Madam Xia."
After all, she was a wealthy lady who had seen many grand occasions, and her expression quickly recovered. She warmly said, "Mr. Xiao, welcome, welcome, please come in." She then turned and said, "Weiliang, why didn't you tell me in advance that Mr. Xiao was coming? I haven't made proper preparations."
Xia Weiliang opened her mouth, wanting to say that she really didn't plan for him to come along.
But seeing the look Xiao Yi glanced at her, she instinctively swallowed and understood, deciding to shut up for her own safety!
Xiao Yi turned back and called out, "Yan Zhi."
"Yes!"
Yan Zhi and Da Yang, carrying large bags and small packages, followed them in.
"Mr. Xiao, we are family, there's no need to be so formal..."
Su Hui now regarded Xiao Yi as a potential son-in-law. As someone who had been through it, seeing him arrive with her daughter, the meaning was obvious!
If he was Weiliang's destined partner, she would be truly happy for her daughter.
But just as they were entering the house, a figure darted out from beside the door and rushed towards Xia Weiliang...
