Children who don't prank their father and mother aren't good kids...

Bai Ruozhu silently recited three times in her heart: They're mine, they're mine, they're mine.

"I originally wanted to wash in the fish pond, but Xiaohei didn't let me. Mom, you should manage it. It's too naughty!" Little Dengdeng pouted and complained.

Bai Ruozhu felt a bit dizzy. My goodness, who's the naughty one here?

Jiang Yichun couldn't help rubbing his forehead and said with a stern face, "You were going to wash your brother's poop in the fish pond. Can the fish in there still be eaten? Aren't you afraid you'll eat poop when you eat the fish?"

"Shut up!" Bai Ruozhu finally couldn't hold back her outburst. No wonder their son was so tricky; it runs in the family. How dare you make it so detailed? Don't you find it disgusting?

Little Dengdeng paused for a moment, then suddenly covered his mouth and laughed, "I forgot! Luckily, I ended up washing it in the hot spring."

Bai Ruozhu's mouth twitched; she wanted some peace and quiet.

At this moment, the "big screen" again emitted a rustling sound. It seemed less dark outside, brightening up a bit, and the images were very clear.

Bai Ruozhu, with her sharp eyes, instantly saw something crawling on the ground. The next second, she directly covered Dengdeng's eyes.

"Xiaohei, take Dengdeng to the forest to play with Little Deer, and don't come around causing trouble." Bai Ruozhu quickly said, feeling an ominous premonition that this scene shouldn't be seen by Little Dengdeng; it might frighten the child.

Thinking of this, she turned her attention to Little Tiaotiao as well, though he probably couldn't see it. Still, it's better to be careful.

Tiaotiao's diaper was crooked, so Bai Ruozhu adjusted it. Her heart warmed a bit. Dengdeng was still a child himself, yet he knew to take care of his little brother. Even if he washed the poop in the hot spring pool, he shouldn't be blamed. Uh, at worst, they just won't soak in the hot spring for a while.

After Dengdeng was taken away, Bai Ruozhu was again drawn to the outside scene. She finally saw clearly what was making the rustling sound!

A python was slowly moving inside the tent, its belly scraping against the ground making the sound.

"Look at its head!" Jiang Yichun exclaimed. Given his calm nature, such an outcry was uncommon.

Bai Ruozhu looked over and was immediately scared, retreating two steps instinctively, her legs weakened as she sat on the ground.

Strong arms wrapped around her, pulling her into an embrace, and a soft voice whispered in her ear, "Don't look."

As he spoke, he covered her eyes with his big hand and tightened his arm around her, "Don't be afraid. I'm here."

Bai Ruozhu pulled his hand away from her eyes, "It's okay, I'm not that cowardly. Not letting me see makes me imagine even more, and I'm actually more scared."

In her past life, she was quite brave. Studying alone overseas, living alone in a humble room — if she were timid, she'd be scared all the time, wouldn't she?

Back then in Mi Country, horror films with zombies and killers were quite popular. Her classmates pulled her along to watch them, and people dressed terrifyingly for Halloween to scare others. But she always felt that foreign ghost films were hardly interesting; mostly scenes full of bloody limbs. Once she watched a Hong Kong ghost film and actually got frightened.

That film never showed the ghost's form but created a terrifying atmosphere. With her rich imagination, she was truly scared.

So she'd rather see, than imagine frightfully.

At this point, she saw clearly. The snake slowly squirmed, and where the snake's head should have been grew a woman's head!

Bai Ruozhu couldn't ascertain if it was Honglian. Suddenly, the human head's mouth opened wide to a grotesque extent. No human can open their mouth that big. Just like a snake gaping!

The next second, it grabbed a severed limb from a jar and swallowed it whole!

Bai Ruozhu turned her head in dry heaves, Jiang Yichun hurried to block the view with his body, "Don't look, turn it off."

She spat out a bit of acid, shook her head saying, "It's okay, I'm not scared, just disgusted. Let's wait a bit, maybe Sangji will return soon."

"Then don't stare; go and prepare some grilled fish. Tiaotiao needs to be fed too. I'll keep an eye here," he said, patting her head. With any other woman witnessing this scene, they'd surely cry out in fear. Whether it was good or bad that his wife was so strong, he couldn't tell.

Apparently, women without men to rely on are forced to become as strong as men. He's quite an incompetent husband.

He recalled when he was under Wu Wanqing's poisonous insect spell, forgetting everything about the Mountain Village, leaving her and their child alone for so long. No wonder she was stronger than most women.

Bai Ruozhu went to gut the fish, but upon seeing the blood, she felt nauseous again. Frustrated, she tossed it aside and took out stored millet from Space, cooking some rice porridge.

Outside the tent, footsteps approached; Sangji had returned.

He walked quickly to the monster, eyes filled with hope.

"How do you feel today?" As he spoke tenderly, he cupped the human head on the snake's body, gazing affectionately at it.

Jiang Yichun squinted. He finally saw clearly; the monster was Honglian, but the human head's eyes were closed.

"You've integrated more, haven't you? Well done. Tonight, I'll reward you well." He said, chuckling lowly, and soon the sound of clothes rustling came from the tent.

Bai Ruozhu's jaw dropped in shock, while Jiang Yichun went over quickly to cover her eyes, angrily saying, "Stop looking."

"Okay, I won't look." She didn't want to see Sangji's body; it was revolting enough.

As they were talking, the screen projected Sangji's heavy breathing and the intensified rustling from the snake's movement.

The next second, Bai Ruozhu turned off the display. It's bad for Little Dengdeng to hear this; it's simply too challenging to one's worldview.

The two were stunned for a long time, Jiang Yichun was the first to recover, saying, "We don't know when he met Honglian or how he fell in love with her."

Bai Ruozhu rubbed her temples, "Whether he's in love with Honglian, I'm not sure, but he's certainly a psycho. Even if your beloved died, for her peace, you can't turn her into a monster."

She paused, looked up at him, "If I die someday, you mustn't do anything crazy. Ensure I rest in peace."

The next instant, he angrily covered her mouth, "Don't talk nonsense. As long as I'm here, you won't have any trouble."

She burst into laughter, "I mean when we get old, I should go before you."

He rubbed her head, showing a gentle smile, "I'll strive to live longer to take care of you for a lifetime."

Then the two of them spent time with the child in Space, entertained the child to sleep, and only then did they check the situation outside, where Sangji's whereabouts were unknown.

"Let's head out," Jiang Yichun grabbed Bai Ruozhu, then suddenly his expression tightened, "Why is it so hot?"
