Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
On the other side, the Third Prince had just laid down when he suddenly heard something being thrown next door. He immediately sat up and saw a black shadow crawling in.
He stopped momentarily, but he quickly understood what it was.
He pulled out his sword, which was hanging by the bed. However, the snake was already gone by the time he pulled out the sword.
He immediately closed his eyes and listened carefully to every rustling sound in his room.
Soon, he heard a faint slithering sound and knew the snake had gone under the table.
He immediately opened his eyes and looked at the corner of the wall. As expected, the snake’s head was exposed.
He took a deep breath and quickly swung his sword down when the snake revealed a part of its body to poke its head.
Although the tent was also sliced open, the snake was successfully killed.
Unfortunately, the snake’s head landed on the bed.
The Third Prince had no choice but to use his sword to pick it up, but as the smell of snake blood was too unpleasant, he had no choice but to get off the bed.
At that moment, Gu Chengrui walked over with a military sword and asked, “Third Prince, are you alright?”
“Fortunately, the sound of something smas.h.i.+ng woke me up. Did snakes go over there too?”
“Yes, I had a spicy meal tonight, and my throat felt uncomfortable. I woke up to drink a gla.s.s of water and was surprised to see a venomous snake crawling in.

“Venomous snake?” The Third Prince immediately realized that something was wrong when he heard this.
Ignoring the fact that the snakes were supposed to be hibernating, venomous snakes were rarely seen in the north.
How could they have approached their camp? Besides, the camp’s perimeter had been sprayed with insect and animal repellent.
Gu Chengrui looked at his expression and knew that he had realized the same thing. He reminded him, “Did you hear the flute outside before the snake came in?”
Hearing his reminder, the Third Prince recalled that he had indeed heard it. However, the sound was faint, and if it weren’t for the particular rhythm, it would have been difficult to tell that it was the sound of a flute.
“Be on your guard for tonight. I’ll go out and make some arrangements.”
After the Third Prince said that, he put on his clothes and turned around to walk out.
“You be careful too.” Gu Chengrui returned to his room and asked Zhou Ying for a handful of mothb.a.l.l.s. He handed them to the Third Prince and said, “This thing has a strong smell and can be used to repel snakes.”
The Third Prince nodded and took them. He put one in his boots and one in his pockets, carried his sword, and walked out.
Gu Chengrui removed the second snake venom sac and gall bladder before returning to the main tent.
On the other hand, Zhou Ying used her spiritual senses to check the camp area carefully. After confirming that there were no more snakes, she began to look for the person who had played the flute.
If she guessed correctly, the sound of that flute controlled the two snakes.
Soon, on the left side of the mountain, she found a black man running away into the mountains.
Zhou Ying’s eyes turned cold, and she used her spiritual senses to a.s.sault his consciousness, rendering him r.e.t.a.r.ded. She saw him run around and fall off the cliff, throwing himself to his death.
When Gu Chengrui returned, he saw that her little face hardened. He immediately went forward and asked, “Did something happen again?”
Zhou Ying shook her head and told him about tracking that person. “I originally wanted to spare his life, but who knew he would end up this way.”
“Maybe it’s backlash from his karma. Since the Third Prince is the one Heaven chooses to be the next emperor, those who oppose him will not have a good ending.”
“You are becoming more and more superst.i.tious.”
“There’s an actual G.o.ddess by my side. I don’t see how I can’t be superst.i.tious.”
“Hmph, you better take good care of that G.o.ddess.”
“Of course.”
After that, they both waited for the Third Prince. After confirming that there was nothing more in camp, they finally went to sleep.
The following day, after breakfast, the group set off again. It wasn’t until they successfully pa.s.sed through the canyon that the soldiers on both sides went down the mountain to meet up with them..
