Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 1577: Chapter 1561: Descendants of Miao King

Mr. Huang stood motionless, his gaze fixed intently on the giant python, while he whispered an explanation:

”A snake’s eyesight is poor; it relies on heat sources to determine its target. If you run, it will detect your movements and will surely attack you. So, what you should do now is not run but remain still. As long as it feels we harbor no ill will, it won’t attack us!”

Hearing Mr. Huang’s words, everyone agreed and six of them stood by the pool, not daring to move.

The giant python slowly raised its body from the water, crawling toward Huo Sining and Gu Xu, seemingly searching for something, circling around before coming to Qibao.

As Qibao was held in Huo Sining’s arms, when the giant python got close, Huo Sining’s heart jumped to her throat, pounding like a drum, as she nervously watched the massive creature, fearing that if the snake got displeased, it could open its huge mouth and swallow her whole.

This wasn’t Huo Sining’s first time seeing a giant python. Before, in the Mijh Jungle in Myanmar, Huo Sining and Gu Xu had been attacked by a giant python.

It was in that forest where Huo Sining first activated her Rapid Freeze skill, turning a python into an ice sculpture.

Now, with the python so close, Huo Sining was already preparing in her mind, ready to launch a Rapid Freeze attack on it at any moment.

However, apart from Gu Xu and Qibao, there were other strangers present. She hesitated whether to reveal her bizarre skill in front of them.

After all, this was Huo Sining’s secret. If it got exposed, Mr. Huang and Miss Yue might be fine, but the remaining Master Chen might not be so trustworthy.

While Huo Sining was still hesitating, the snake craned its neck close, sniffing at Qibao.

Huo Sining was very tense, and the other people had tense expressions too. Even little Qibao was frightened out of his wits.

Subtly forming a hand gesture, Huo Sining was ready to aim her Spiritual Energy at the python’s forehead at any moment.

However, what puzzled Huo Sining was that the python, after approaching Qibao, neither left nor attacked. Instead, it tilted its head, seemingly with some doubts, as if Qibao’s scent was familiar and it was trying hard to recall something.

If it weren’t for that menacing red snake tongue, Huo Sining would have thought the giant python was being cute!

The snake stood in front of her, its mouth emitting a stench that was hard to endure. Huo Sining had to stay alert, fearing at any moment the snake could unleash its animalistic nature.

The others also watched nervously, not wanting that at this moment, the python suddenly raised its tail and wrapped it around Qibao’s right side.

Huo Sining was shocked, hurriedly trying to pull Qibao away, while the others panicked, unable to help but shout:

”Qibao!”

”Be careful, shake it off quickly!”

”Miss Huo, quickly take the child and run!”

Seeing the python about to attack Qibao, Mr. Huang and Gu Xu were startled and rushed forward, but hadn’t taken more than two steps before Huo Sining shouted: ”Don’t come over!”

Gu Xu and Mr. Huang looked at each other, not knowing what Huo Sining meant.

But they both detected something unusual in her tone and stopped in their tracks, standing just a step away from the snake, ready to attack and save Huo Sining.

When the snake first approached Qibao, Huo Sining sensed something was off. Now, the python coiled around Qibao several times, its head finally close to his forehead.

When the snake’s and Qibao’s foreheads were touching, Huo Sining clearly saw a golden light seep out from Qibao’s forehead and straight into the python’s body.

In that instant, the snake seemed to have been baptized by Buddha’s light, its violent aura completely vanishing, instead nuzzling Qibao innocently and gently like a pet waiting for its owner’s affection, looking no different from a tamed house python.

Seeing this, everyone was dumbfounded, and Qibao looked equally confused and puzzled.

But Huo Sining quickly glanced up at Gu Xu, both revealing expressions of understanding.

Yesterday, in the Divine Tomb Village, the third aunt had mentioned that Qibao’s grandmother, Granny Jue, was a shaman from the Divine Tomb Village, and it seemed not to be false.

Moreover, before entering the Sacrificial Forest today, Qibao also mentioned that his grandmother had told him their family were descendants of the Miao King, and an ancient guide was passed down in their family. She said that once the guide was deciphered, they could find the relic of the Mountain Goddess.

Because of this guide and relic, Qibao’s family had generations of guardianship in the Miao Village to prevent outsiders from taking the relic.

Previously, Huo Sining had doubted Qibao’s words, but seeing the python showing goodwill and affection to Qibao, she was fully convinced.

She guessed that Qibao’s body might harbor some strange bloodline or a sealing charm, which made the python sense a familiar aura. The face-to-face moment was likely to confirm Qibao’s identity, and the golden light must be a legacy from the Miao royal descendants.

No wonder this mischievous child knew so much about poison arts at such a young age, playing with insects so adeptly. It seems he truly has the blood of the Miao royalty!

Huo Sining couldn’t help but exclaim in wonder, unexpectedly saving a little prince.

With this thought, Huo Sining suddenly recalled something and instinctively asked: ”Qibao, do you remember the family guide your grandmother told you?”

Qibao was taken aback, nodded: ”I remember.”

Huo Sining glanced at the python, with a mindset to try, said: ”I think since your grandmother taught you that guide, she must have had a purpose. Why not try reciting it to the snake and see if there’s any reaction?”

Qibao blinked, suddenly brightening up, and nodded vigorously at Huo Sining, showing a childish smile: ”Then I’ll try.”

Then, as if enlightened, the little guy closed his eyes, recalling the way his grandmother had taught him the incantation, making several gestures with his hands, finally placing his left hand on his right wrist, and pointing his right index finger straight at the python’s forehead.
