Capítulo 1009: Setting Up Shen Xi

Shen Xi didn't want to talk to Gu Chen. She was still resentful of what Gu Chen had done, so she simply closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.

Gu Chen didn't mind. Leaning against the tree trunk, he murmured to himself, "Xi, if I've done something to hurt you, would you forgive me?"

Shen Xi spoke without much thought, "No! I'd even get back at you. Haven't you known that?"

Gu Chen chuckled lightly, "Yes, I've known for a long time, but I still want to ask."

The two fell silent for a long time. Eventually, Shen Xi screamed in pain and, as she opened her eyes, she flung the snake away from her hand.

"Xi, what's wrong?" Gu Chen immediately asked in concern.

Shen Xi looked at the two puncture wounds on her arm and frowned, and before she could press out the venom, her head started to feel dizzy. In a daze, she felt someone's head approaching her arm, forcefully sucking at the wound.
