Li Qingzhao was skeptical of the burly uncle's words. A non-venomous snake that could prey on venomous ones?
'That doesn't make any sense. If a non-venomous snake bites another, it'll just bleed at most. But if a venomous snake bites you, you'll be poisoned and die.'
Besides, the snake wasn't even that big—only about four feet, a little over a ter long. It just looked fierce and domineering.
But no matter what, it was still non-venomous. At best, it was just bluffing, like a fox borrowing a tiger's might.
'Can it really defy nature and resist venom? Can it truly treat the venom of all snakes as if it were nothing?'
"Young lady, my Black King Snake is a breath of fresh air in the Snake Realm. If you really don't believe , just go ask any of your elders. You'll find out."
The burly uncle was full of confidence in his snake, continuing, "This Black King Snake is from xico, where it's incredibly famous. You won't find another one in all of She Mountain, let alone the entire country. I had to move heaven and earth just to get my hands on it."
"I plan to wait until the rite is over, then offer it to Lord Snake King and release it on She Mountain. That way, She Mountain will have one more species of snake."
Li Qingzhao hadn't seen it with her own eyes, so she couldn't be sure if the burly uncle's snake was really that amazing. Still, his words filled her with respect. She gave him a thumbs-up and said, "Sir, that's very generous of you, contributing to She Mountain like this. This snake looks to be of excellent quality. I bet it was quite expensive, wasn't it?"
"Money is a trivial matter. All that matters is that Lord Snake King can feel my reverence for him."
"You're the best, sir!"
Li Qingzhao was now mostly convinced of the snake's extraordinary nature. She quickly took a big group photo with the Black King Snake, then said goodbye to the burly uncle and left.
The Snake King's procession was massive, with too many people and too many snakes. Li Qingzhao couldn't afford to spend too much ti on a single snake.
She took a mont to interact with her viewers, then the young woman weaved through the crowd, continuously interviewing people about their incredibly valuable venomous snakes, including so rare breeds.
A rare breed of venomous snake was a huge deal. Such a snake was like an internet celebrity, drawing large crowds and enjoying imnse popularity.
A single snake could be worth at least a million, and everyone wanted to get a look. Normally, you'd never get the chance to see one.
It was only during the Snake King Festival that people would bring out their best snakes to show them off.
Seeing a rare breed of snake was like a shot of adrenaline for Li Qingzhao, and a joyful smile blood on her face.
After interviewing a dozen or so fine snakes, Li Qingzhao suddenly stopped, her attention unexpectedly captured by a new sight.
This ti, however, it wasn't a prized venomous snake that had caught her eye, but a handso young man.
Up ahead, a young man was strolling leisurely along with the main crowd, a faint, roguish smile on his face. His skin was fair, and his delicate features held a striking handsoness, which was tinged with a potent, devilish charm.
The aura he gave off was complex, like a mixture of many different temperants, creating a unique, untad, and roguish charm.
To put it plainly, this handso guy had a wicked, roguish temperant to his very core. A sharp-eyed person might even notice that his aura was a bit like a snake's.
It was just that his looks and temperant easily drew the gazes of girls, who couldn't help but stare a little longer.
'Wow, what a handso guy.'
Li Qingzhao was instantly captivated. Her black, gem-like eyes darted about before she gave her stream a brilliant smile. "Hee hee, you must all be tired of looking at snakes. Qingzhao will show you a handso guy instead!"
"We want to see pretty girls!"
A bullet comnt popped up, which Qingzhao instantly ignored.
"Hi there, mister! Can I interview you?"
The young man was walking when a pretty young woman suddenly popped out and blocked his path. He glanced at her, his brow furrowing slightly.
'Why is it her?'
The man was surprised, but not a hint of it showed on his face.
As a modern girl, Li Qingzhao felt no pressure at all hitting on a guy. Besides, this one was exceptionally good-looking.
"Hi, mister! My na is Li Qingzhao, and I'm an outdoor strear. Would it be okay if I interviewed you?"
The young man took a long look at her phone and said flatly, "No."
SLAP...
Li Qingzhao felt like she'd been slapped in the face. She froze, stunned. After all the people she'd interviewed today, this was the first ti she'd been rejected.
No, not just today—it was the first ti she'd been shot down all year.
You have to understand, Li Qingzhao was pretty and charming, with an air of invincible youth. Almost no one would refuse a beautiful girl like her; in fact, many people wished she would interview them every day.
Li Qingzhao was still processing the sudden rejection, but her stream's chat room had already exploded.
"Wow... what a guy, so much personality! He just rejected our goddess without a second thought. He's so handso, with that touch of wickedness. So unique!"
A female fan imdiately posted a gushing bullet comnt.
"Who does this guy think he is, daring to reject our goddess? Is he just putting on an act? Bet he's secretly thrilled."
"You call that handso? He just looks weird. And with that smirk on his face, you can tell he's no good."
A male fan chid in defensively.
In an instant, an endless flood of bullet comnts swept across the screen. So praised the young man for being handso and having personality, while others were jealous and belittled him.
But there were so objective ones, too.
"This guy's actually really good-looking. He's got the air of a movie star."
"What are you talking about? He's better looking than any movie star!"
After being rejected, Li Qingzhao snapped out of it. She wasn't angry. When you're a strear, you encounter all sorts of things, especially with outdoor streams like hers.
'Besides, a guy that good-looking must get hit on by pretty girls all the ti. It's no big deal that he rejected .'
"I just want to ask, mister, are you from Bai Town or from out of town?"
Li Qingzhao never gave up easily. Besides, she could see that interviewing this guy was creating great content—at the very least, the bullet comnts were flying.
Her viewer count was skyrocketing at a visible rate.
The young man seed very reluctant to face her phone cara. He turned his head away, showing his profile, which was flawless from every angle. Even Li Qingzhao couldn't help but swoon a little.
"A local."
He replied with two cold words.
Li Qingzhao pressed on, "If you're from Bai Town, how co you don't have a snake with you?"
For the Snake King's procession, anyone from Bai Town would definitely bring a snake to offer to the Snake King. Unless you're just a passerby.
The young man didn't want to get tangled up with Li Qingzhao. This ti, he didn't even bother to answer, simply dodging past her.
Li Qingzhao was persistent and hurried after him. "Mister, don't be so cold! Let's just chat for a bit."
"Chat about what? Does it matter if I'm from Bai Town?"
"Of course it matters!" Li Qingzhao's eyes curved into crescents. "If you're from Bai Town, then we're from the sa hotown! And you know what they say: when fellow townspeople et, their eyes brim with tears."
Hearing this, the young man gave her a strange look, feeling as if a million crows were flying overhead.
Her reasoning was so absurd it left him speechless. Even her viewers couldn't take it anymore. "Goddess, that's got to be the last excuse ever! This is Bai Town, isn't everyone here from your hotown?"
"I'm just going to sit back and watch the goddess get shot down."
"Qingzhao, have so self-respect! Don't just freeze up whenever you see a handso guy."
Li Qingzhao couldn't care less about her stream right now. The young man before her gave her a very strange feeling, as if she'd t him sowhere before.
'But there's no way I could have t soone so distinctive and not rembered him.'
