She finally understood why Li Lei had looked at her strangely when she asked if Shao Hui was going to get attacked by the wild beast. When she looked up, right beside the fountain, was a snake, about the thickness of two people embracing each other, covered in dark green spots across his body. Quite frankly, it would've looked sinister if not for how it was wrapped around the child like a pet, letting the child do whatever he wanted to do to it—
To prevent the child from slipping down, it even used its tail as a makeshift barrier.
Xia Ling was bewildered.
"Mom!" Shaohui beamed upon seeing her, waving his chubby arms and legs. He turned to the snake and said, "Please send me to my mummy!"
And almost as if the snake understood, it obediently deposited the child in front of Xia Ling.
