"The second time? When was the first time?" Sheng Zhiyao was a little curious.

"When I was eight years old." Qi'er has always had a very good memory, especially about the Witch Emperor, because he had to remember it firmly.

"Eight?" Sheng Zhiyao was stunned for a moment, thought of something, and his face was slightly gloomy: "The Witch Emperor was still there at that time, right?"

"Yes, the first time I saw the red snake was on the witch queen's body, and it was also wrapped around the witch queen's shoulder, because the first time I saw such a brightly colored snake, I was very impressed." Qi'er recalled the appearance and behavior of the red snake, and was still surprised.

Hearing this, Sheng Zhiyao was thoughtful.

She looked down at the red snake lying in her arms, and sighed softly, "Do you think I have a familiar smell on me?"

The red snake raised its eyes and glanced at Sheng Zhiyao, but did not say a word.

Sheng Zhiyao smiled bitterly: "I do look a bit like the person you know, I don't know if you still remember her?"

"Hiss......" Red Snake spat out the letter and nodded.

"You're the snake of the witch queen, aren't you?" Sheng Zhiyao's tone was tentative.

Qi'er stared at the red snake with wide eyes, waiting for its reply.

"Hiss......" Red Snake nodded, in acknowledgement.

"I see." Sheng Zhiyao touched the back of the red snake: "My name is Sheng Zhiyao, I am the county lord of Shang Zhou, since you are the snake of the witch queen, then you should have seen the two children of the witch queen, right?"

"Hiss......" The red snake twisted its body, as if reminiscing.

Sheng Zhiyao waited patiently.

After a long time, Sheng Zhiyao saw that the red snake was still trying to recall, and couldn't help but remind it; "Red Snake, have you forgotten?"

"Hiss......" The red snake twisted its body, stopped struggling, tilted its head, and looked at Sheng Zhiyao with a confused look.

"I'm not a child of the Witch Queen, I just have the same blood as her, you should understand."

"Hiss......" Red Cobra seemed to understand, even nodding.

Qi'er didn't understand what the Red Snake was doing, so she had to ask, "Master, you have the same bloodline as the witch queen?"

"Well, back then, the witch queen gave birth to two children, a boy and a girl."

"Hiss......" Red Snake spat out the letter, as if agreeing with Sheng Zhiyao's words.

"I think you should know that at that time, the Witch Emperor's lineage was dead, but there was a little girl who escaped, and that girl was probably my grandmother." Sheng Zhiyao continued to tell what he knew.

"I don't know this, I was young at the time, and I only knew that the Witch Emperor had a son, but not long after the Witch Emperor died, the Witch Queen and the prince died, and the elders said that the Witch Queen was bitten to death by her own red snake."

Qi'er shook his head, he didn't know these things when he was young.

When Sheng Zhiyao heard this, a trace of sadness flashed between his eyebrows: "It seems that the snake I saw from the witch seal is you, right?"

"Master, you actually have a witch seal?" Qi'er exclaimed when she heard the news. c

Sheng Zhiyao didn't answer him, but the red snake was a little excited.

"Hiss......" Red Snake nodded, as if trying to say something.

"What's wrong?"

"Hiss......" The red snake nodded Sheng Zhiyao's eyes with its head, then nodded at Sheng Zhiyao's chest, and finally looked back at its snake tail.

Sheng Zhiyao followed the movements of the red snake, and suddenly his face changed slightly: "You mean that the snake I saw in the witch seal is not you, because the color of your tail is different, right?"

The red snake nodded, and then slapped Sheng Zhiyao's leg with his tail, as if he was very excited, and seemed to be comforting Sheng Zhiyao.

"So it's not you who killed the witch queen and the prince, but those elders are saying that you killed them." Qi'er finally got to the point.

The red snake nodded eagerly, then put his head on Sheng Zhiyao's shoulder and rubbed Sheng Zhiyao's neck intimately.

Sheng Zhiyao stroked the back of the red snake and comforted him

"It doesn't matter, no matter who kills the Witch Emperor's lineage, he will bear the corresponding price."

"Hiss......"

The head of the red snake rubbed Sheng Zhiyao's cheek, as if to express his gratitude to Sheng Zhiyao.

"Then you will follow me in the future, are you willing?" Sheng Zhiyao asked softly, although the red snake is highly poisonous, its spirituality is extremely high, and it may be his help.

"Hiss......" Red Snake nodded.

"Great!" Sheng Zhiyao was ecstatic, and hugged the red snake for a few turns, but because he had just been poisoned, his steps were vain, and he fell to the ground at once.

"Ah......h

Qi'er hurriedly stretched out his hand and grabbed Sheng Zhiyao: "Master, are you okay?"

Sheng Zhiyao leaned against the wall and slowly straightened up: "I'm fine."

Feng Yuanchen looked at Sheng Zhiyao distressedly, walked over and helped her sit down: "Happy is happy, but you are also an injured person now, so you should rest first."

Sheng Zhiyao nodded and leaned into Feng Yuanchen's arms.

Feng Yuanchen looked at Sheng Zhiyao's pale face, sighed, and reached out to touch the top of Sheng Zhiyao's hair: "Zhiyao, why don't we go back to the carriage?"

"How's that going to work?" Sheng Zhiyao immediately retorted: "We have come here with great difficulty, how can we leave like this."

"But I'm afraid that your body can't stand it, and if you continue to persevere, it won't do us any good, and no one knows what will happen next." Feng Yuanchen frowned.

Sheng Zhiyao shook his head: "I'm fine."

Feng Yuanchen saw Sheng Zhiyao's tough attitude, sighed helplessly, reached out to hug Sheng Zhiyao's waist, and held her tightly in his arms: "Okay, then you promise me, if you don't feel comfortable, don't be strong."

"Well, don't worry, I'm not going to joke with my body."

Sheng Zhiyao raised his head to Shangfeng Yuanchen's worried eyes: "I promise you, no matter what, I will protect myself, you believe me."

"Okay, I believe you, then let's move on." Feng Yuanchen looked into the distance, he really couldn't resist her stubborn temper, so he had to compromise.

The red snake obediently wrapped around Sheng Zhiyao's arm and quietly followed them forward.

"Hiss ......" When he was halfway there, Sheng Zhiyao suddenly felt a tingling pain in his ankle, and his whole body stiffened violently.

"Hiss......" The Red Snake noticed her abnormality and immediately raised its head and roared twice.

Feng Yuanchen looked around vigilantly, then squatted down to check Sheng Zhiyao's ankle: "What's wrong with you? Did it hurt somewhere?"

Sheng Zhiyao frowned, feeling that her right ankle hurt even more, and it vaguely seemed to be swollen, and a strange tingling sensation spread all over her body.

She looked down and saw that her ankles were swollen and blackened, as if something was still wriggling inside her bare feet.
