Chapter 968
Mist, forest, giant snake, and young girl.
A beam of light shone through the gigantic tree and fell on the girl. She had skin pale as snow, and her
face was exquisite. Her eyes were actually green, and her features were well-defined.
She was dressed in simple and colorful clothes. The weird thing was she wasn’t wearing shoes and was
completely barefoot.
Around her ankles, she wore two anklets made of multicolored threads adorned with small bells.
She was a pretty little girl who exuded an ancient and mysterious aura. She sat on the giant red snake.
The girl didn’t have the innocence of children her age. She looked down at the group of people.
condescendingly like a goddess. The beam of light shining on her made her look even more otherworldly,
like a saint of legends.
She looked at the group cautiously as if asking why they were there.
Joel quickly explained, “Young lady, we have a patient who’s inflicted with lethal poison. We need to enter
the village for a cure. Please let us through. We come in peace, and we won’t hurt anyone.”
The girl didn’t reply. She patted the snake on the head. It understood what she wanted immediately. The
snake brought her toward the stretcher Ethan was on.
Both Kelvin and Brent felt chills down their spines when they saw that. But their duty compelled them to
stand their ground.
As the snake approached, its massive size and bright red scales looked even more terrifying.
The girl got down from the snake and went up to Ethan. He was also covered in protective clothing. She
saw his tightly shut eyes through the visor.
Kelvin lifted a part of Ethan’s clothes, revealing the red pattern on his skin.
“My employer is infected with Ninefold Venom. He only has one more day to live. If we can’t save him
soon, he’ll be a goner. Young lady, please let us into the village. We really harbor no ill intent.”
The girl remained silent. She caressed the snake’s head and left while blowing on the leaf. The snakes
and other venomous creatures quickly dispersed.
Joel said delightedly, “Let’s get a move on. She has allowed us to enter the village.”
The group was overjoyed. Fortune was finally on their side. Ethan would definitely be saved.
The girl sat on the snake, which slithered along very quickly. But the sound from her leaf was leading the way. It came from one direction and led them out of the forest.
When they arrived at the village, the group felt like they had stumbled upon paradise.
The village was situated near the equator. The average temperature was around 77°F all year long. Vegetables and fruits can be grown in all seasons. Even the flowers could bloom without withering.
There was a stream running in the village. The houses were all built with wood or bamboo. Flowers were
blooming everywhere.
Kelvin had been to many countries and islands, but none were like this. The temperature was perfect, and
the air was fresh. There were wild animals running around.
The girl waited for them on a slope. The giant red snake had disappeared. The village was very clean.
There were no snakes or other venomous creatures to be seen.
It was like the animals and humans had a pact. The humans wouldn’t hurt the animals, and the animals
guarded the humans.
“Let’s go. We’ve really met a benefactor today.”
It seems Ethan only ever married Olivia to take revenge for what happened to his little sister. While Olivia is plagued by her sickness, he holds her chin and says coldly, “This is what your family owes me.” Now, she has no family and no future.
Her father becomes comatose after a car accident, leaving her with nothing to live for. Thus, she hurls herself from a building. “The life my family owes will now be repaid.” At this, Ethan, who’s usually calm, panics while begging for Olivia to come back as if he’s in a state of frenzy …
