Shen Nianmo suddenly lunged forward and moved very quickly towards the snakes .

Gu Xijiu was shocked by his sudden move . Quickly, she pulled his clothes and dragged him back forcefully . "Are you looking for death? All these snakes are extremely venomous . Once bitten by any of them, you will die almost instantly . "

It was a child's behavior to act impulsively . The young were usually fearless .

Shen Nianmo looked at her fixedly . "Are you worried that I might die?"

Gu Xijiu thought that the question was rather odd . She was certainly worried . If he died, her mission would be considered as a failure .

Apart from the mission, she really liked the child, so she would not have the heart to watch him die in vain .

She could not tell him the truth, so she sighed in a helpless tone . "You are the only precious child to your parents . If anything happens to you, your parents will hunt me down . "

Shen Nianmo was disappointed . He had not expected that her kind gestures were all for the sake of his parents . Therefore, he hugged his arms and stood his ground . "All right . You should do it yourself . "

Gu Xijiu had always wanted to catch the snakes herself, but at the same time, she could not leave Shen Nianmo alone in the dark . She was worried that he might be bitten by one of the snakes that escaped her eyes .

She thought about it for a moment . Then, she took out a bottle and circled him with the medicine . "Stay within the circle . Don't get out of here . "

Did she think that he was a well-known Tang Priest who needed protection at all times? Why would she circle him in a protective ring? Also, the circle was imperfect .

Gu Xijiu took a leap and landed at the circle of snakes . The first snake that she was about to catch was the most colorful one . The snake was the rarest and the most venomous kind out of all . If she was not mistaken, it was the king of snakes .

Like lightning, Gu Xijiu sped . She tried to catch it from the air by clinging onto its vital point . To her surprise, the snake reacted very quickly . Within a split second, the snake retreated and hid amongst the other snakes .

The Snake Pearl started to fall, and all the other snakes were alarmed . Defensively, many of them turned to look at Gu Xijiu .

Gu Xijiu failed to catch the snake, but she needed to step onto a surface in order for her to bounce back to her original position . Unfortunately, there were countless of snakes under her; no matter where she chose to land, she would definitely be bitten .

Desperately, she was determined to step onto the snakes . However, all of a sudden, she could feel a force at her waist . Soon, her entire body was being lifted . Safely, she landed safely in the hands of a man .

Shen Nianmo whispered, "For the sake of your life, I would like to hear you call me as your senior apprentice . "

"In your dreams!" Gu Xijiu stomped on his foot . He finally let go of her waist and placed her securely on the ground .

She turned and looked at Shen Nianmo . There he stood, well-behaved and unmoving in the circle . He did not even move a bit .

Although the child was fond of taking advantage of her, she could not help but agree that his help came when she needed it the most .

"You have indeed saved me, but I am not afraid of the bites, so it doesn't count as saving my life . Therefore, little child, it does not count as a life-saving gesture . It is not easy to make me address you as my senior apprentice . "

"Little child!" Shen Nianmo had been saying the term repeatedly . Then, he continued half-jokingly, "You sound like you have aged a lot . How old are you, exactly?"

Gu Xijiu hesitated . She knew that he would not listen to her if she continued to show him her teenage side; she did not look superior enough . Moreover, her current appearance had greatly restricted her power, so she seriously considered returning to her old self .
