” Are you scared?” Yu Dong asked as she looked at her husbands who were staring at her with wide eyes and gaping mouths, she was indeed thinking about whether to use her powers or not but when she saw little bun being threatened she could not stop herself from attacking that snake.

Shen Li and the others looked at the snake blood that was splattered over Yu Dong but they did not find her scary, shocking yes but not scary. After all, in the face of danger she had chosen to show off her powers to bring little bun to safety as soon as possible instead of waiting, so how can they even think about finding her scary?

” I will go and warm some water for you,” said Shen Li as he looked at Yu Dong’s bloodied clothes before going out of the room, he was the calmest of all because he has already expected Yu Dong to be this powerful. He wasn’t surprised upon seeing her take action as such, so he was able to get over the shock pretty soon.

Even though the snake was dead, its blood might attract another animal, so it would be better for them to clean up as soon as possible. In case something came up sniffing the scent of the snake’s blood then they will have a hard time taking care of it. Though Shen Li was hardly affected and he was more and less unaffected by the sight in front of him, the same could not be said for the others, they all looked at the snake that was smashed to pieces and they trembled in fear.

They have always known that Yu Dong was really scary if she didn’t have the guts she would have never gone against those vicious people from the village but they have never thought that she was this scary.

Seeing her take such a drastic move made them both shocked and scared, this was really a new side to Yu Dong, they have never seen her like this!

That snake was so scary and big but she took care of it without even moving a single finger, it was obvious that if she wanted she can kill just anyone without so much as blinking an eye.

Clearly, Yu Dong wasn’t someone anyone can afford to offend, she was definitely not someone anyone should even think about offending.

The three of them exchanged glances with each other but did not say anything, Chen Mi who was especially worried about his son didn’t even care if Yu Dong popped another arm or leg to save his son, all he cared about was that Little bun was all right.

” Bun bun, oh my dear, oh heavens! I am so glad that you are all right,” Chen Mi rushed to the cot where Little bun was hiding in a corner and pushed away the branches that were protectively covering him and carefully brushed his hand on little bun’s face, only when he saw that his son was doing all right, did Chen Mi heave a breath of relief, only he knew how scared he was when he saw that the snake was curled around his son’s cot.

Now that he had his son back in his arms, his unsettled heart was back in its position.

” Ah Mi, did you sleep with the window open?” Yu Dong asked, as far as she knew she told everyone to sleep with their windows closed, even though she has sprinkled her spiritual energy all over the place, she didn’t want to take any risk which was why she asked Chen Mi and the others to close their windows and the weather was already so cold, they were even using a brazier to keep their rooms warm. So, how come Chen Mi’s room window was left open?

Only then did Chen Mi turn around and looked at the window that was open and frowned, ” I remember that I have closed it, how come is it open now?”

Yu Dong’s expression changed and with her clothes that were covered in blood, she looked really scary. With that sinister expression and bloodied clothes, she seemed to be as terrifying as the God of death! The three of them didn’t want to show that they were scared but seeing her like this, they couldn’t help but take a step back as they stared at her.

Why? Why was she looking like that?

Ye Liu thought that Yu Dong was unhappy with Chen Mi’s lie and hurriedly tugged at his sleeves, the window was left open and yet this silly mer said that he closed it, wasn’t he simply asking Yu Dong to catch his lie and punish him?

Chen Mi too couldn’t remember whether or not he closed the window, he was after all very tired from his trip back to the village and he just went to sleep no sooner after he was done with dinner, maybe he really forgot to close the window? So, he hurriedly swallowed and apologised in a small voice, ” Maybe it was my fault, I did not check it carefully and left it open… I should have checked it properly but I was too tired to even think …” seeing that Yu Dong’s expression was getting worse from bad he immediately stopped and said, ” What I mean to say is that I am sorry.”

Yu Dong heard his apology and was slightly helpless, she wasn’t angry at him. She was furious at the stalker who went after her husband when she couldn’t harm her, that stalker must have thought that since she couldn’t take her down, she might as well try to endanger Chen Mi and little bun, that way Yu Dong will be enraged enough to blame Xiao Hua and kick him out of the tree house and her life, if that happened then she will surely take the mer as hers.
