Feng Cheng turned his sights to Xiao Rufeng.
Since Xiao Ruofei was still in a coma, Xiao Rufeng was now the only miss with the last name of Xiao. Everyone followed Feng Cheng's gaze; Xiao Rufeng suddenly became the focus of the present, while the serpent, as well as Bai Yanran who it had "kidnapped," were ignored.
Xiao Rufeng put her hands in her sleeves, cleared her throat, and said, her voice neither humble nor self-important, "Miss, what do you mean? I was standing the furthest away, how could I have disturbed it?"
Before, when Bai Yanran bullied her, this woman was always an accomplice. Although she didn't know how they'd fallen out, she still held a grudge for the original Xiao Rufeng.
"Help..." Bai Yanran was in despair. She was in this situation, how could these people turn to that woman? Couldn't they save her first?
But no one noticed her.
"Xiao Rufeng, why did you disturb the serpent?" Someone who disliked Xiao Rufeng immediately grasped this chance.
Xiao Rufeng sneered. "Didn't you bring your brains with you?"
The others were about to talk back, but the woman's voice carried over to stop them.
"I also think they didn't bring their brains with them." Ming Shu shoved a fruit into her mouth. "Why are you looking at me? Miss Xiao said it, I just echoed it. Hers was the original sin."
"Help..."
"Xiao Rufeng, I knew you were planning some evil things. Are you going to put us to death!"
"Xiao Rufeng is a total disaster, we shouldn't travel with her."
Ming Shu meant to arouse conflict between Bai Yanran and the others. But at this time, the silly miss was not here, so these people were more willing to argue with Xiao Rufeng.
Ming Shu pondered for a moment. She realized it wasn't because Bai Yanran had no bone to pick with them, but because Xiao Rufeng was the fake protagonist.
With the protagonist aura, it was like being equipped with an attention-grabbing apparatus.
Xiao Rufeng became a little angry, but she couldn't show it on her face. She had to suppress her desire to quarrel with these people.
"Help..." Bai Yanran's face turned pale, her voice getting weaker and weaker.
The serpent hadn't encountered such a situation before. Apparently it had "kidnapped" an unimportant person.
These hateful humans dared ignore it.
The serpent shook its tail and threw Bai Yanran away. Then, almost at the same time, its golden tail flew toward Xiao Rufeng, curled around her ankle, and fiercely dragged her toward it.
Xiao Rufeng was dragged on the ground, instantly sliding a few meters. But she calmed down quickly and gathered a ball of light made of spirit force to hit the serpent in the tail.
The Serpent hissed angrily in pain. But it didn't release Xiao Rufeng; instead, it sped up to drag her to its side.
Its huge body wrapped around Xiao Rufeng in continuous spirals.
The tail tip, as sharp as a sword, was pointing at Xiao Rufeng's neck. Only a little strength was needed to pierce through her whole neck.
This all happened in a few seconds; everyone had yet to recover from arguing with Xiao Rufeng, but already Xiao Rufeng had been seized by the serpent.
