At the entrance, many people had gathered as spectators.

An angry middle-aged uncle, his face red and ears steaming, violently threw a peace pouch onto the ground and stomped on it furiously, "This thing is utterly worthless, my daughter... my daughter was wearing it, and she was still bitten to death by a snake!"

"Seems like he's come looking for trouble with you." Xiao Li said, her face somewhat pale, looking towards me.

I pursed my lips and walked over, "You look unfamiliar; I don't believe I've ever sold you a peace pouch, have I?"

"You're the woman who makes the peace pouches? The worker girl who works for Chen Decheng?" The uncle glared at me fiercely, his eyes full of hatred.

I calmly looked at the uncle and said, "You haven't answered my question."

"What does it matter to you whether I bought it from you or not, just tell me if this peace pouch is made by you? If it's yours, you must pay with a life for a life!! It's your fault, you and Chen Decheng, that my daughter is dead!!" The uncle roared, his spit spraying all over my face.

Chen Shufen couldn't stand by any longer and said coldly, "Zhou Ping, stop trying to scam us here, it's your own restaurant that disregarded the rules and made Snake Soup, provoking the Snake Immortal. When my Yuanyuan was selling peace pouches, she clearly said that these pouches aren't completely effective, and definitely should not approach your restaurant."

I hadn't been to the neighboring businesses before.

Only now did I realize that this man was Zhou Ping, the owner of the restaurant next door.

Many people recognized Zhou Ping and started murmuring, "Yesterday I heard that Chen's owner refused those people, but it was Zhou Ping who, seeing the chance for profit, took on the job himself."

"The target of the Snake Immortal was their family; a peace pouch is useless in that case."

"I heard that Zhou Ping's daughter was covered in snakes while walking on the street, even with a snake under her skirt. She must have been entangled by a snake. Tragic."

Hearing the scornful comments from the passersby, Zhou Ping's body gradually began to shake.

A woman wearing slippers and carrying a four- or five-year-old child rushed over, "Zhou Ping, stop making a scene. The boy has been bitten by a snake, quickly drive us to the hospital."

"Let's go to the hospital." Zhou Ping's face changed, and he reached out to carry the child.

I called out softly, "Put the child down! Keep him away from you; he's got a snake in his body."

The woman holding the child would not listen to me.

She did not follow my instructions.

She looked at me with disdain.

Then.

A green snake burst out from under the skin of the child's arm.

It latched onto the arm of a bystander who was the closest to him.

The person screamed in agony.

Instantly, the crowd dispersed in fright.

It was only then that I realized I seemed to have the ability to detect snake venom.

The moment that child appeared in front of me, I could vaguely see something snake-like entering his body.

When I saw that snake burst out,

I still broke out in a cold sweat.

The woman screamed, "There's really a snake in Xiao Bao's body!!"

"Put him down!!" I shouted, steeling myself.

What kind of snake venom was this?

How could it be so terrifying, for snakes to actually emerge from within a human body?

Little Dumpling's young voice came into my mind, "Mommy, that's a Silk Snake, when it crawls into a person's body, it can come out and attack at any time."

"Mhm." I mentally acknowledged, watching the woman, torn between reluctance and fear, put the child down on the ground.

The child was also very helpless, chasing after the woman and pleading, "Mommy, don't go, I'm scared, you... don't leave Xiao Bao..."

"Xiao Bao, come to Daddy, Daddy will protect you." Zhou Ping, filled with paternal love, disregarded the Silk Snake venom in Zhou Xiaobao and stretched out his arms towards the child.

"Both of you, please calm down, you really can't get close, you'll get bitten." I was originally very annoyed by Zhou Ping's unreasonable ruckus and didn't want to get involved with their family issues.

But the moment this child appeared, my heart couldn't take it, and I stepped in to stop the Zhou couple.

I never really liked kids before.

I thought they were noisy, more terrifying than a hundred ducks when they fuss.

But ever since I had one myself, even seeing other people's pitiful children, I just couldn't stand by.

I went over to Zhou Xiaobao and took his hand, "Xiao Bao, listen to Auntie, you can't get close to Mommy and Daddy right now."
