The Command to Pamper the Husband - Chapter 124

No matter how delicious the cold noodles were, Wan Xi couldn’t bear to be separated from her Miss. However, despite Wan Xi’s reluctance, Song Jin still took Lu Zhan and left.

Compared to Shen Yue’s humble residence, the Crown Prince’s estate was luxurious. Jade pavilions, artificial hills, and the faint sound of delicate music filled the air. Having received the Crown Prince’s instructions early on, Song Jin was courteously led to the reception hall upon arrival.

Exotic delicacies and fine wines were already prepared. Even dancers were gracefully performing in the hall. The Crown Prince lounged lazily, half-leaning as he watched the dance with half-closed eyes.

When he saw Song Jin enter, he didn’t get up but casually pointed to a seat already arranged. “Sit wherever you like, Fourth Brother. Make yourself at home.”

Song Jin sat down where the Crown Prince indicated, noting that he didn’t seem to consider the possibility of her not coming.

As Song Jin settled, the dancers retreated, and the music ceased, leaving the large reception hall empty. Lu Zhan was not allowed to enter and could only wait outside, and there were no other servants or attendants in the room.

Song Jin sat awkwardly, not knowing where to look.

The Crown Prince, still lounging lazily, looked at Song Jin. “Don’t know where to look?”

Song Jin…

Is he a mind reader?

Song Jin remained silent.

The Crown Prince laughed. “If you don’t know where to look, why not look at me? Do you think I’m handsome?”

Song Jin almost choked on her own saliva.

Is he serious?

“Of course, Your Highness is elegant, handsome, and exceptionally charming,” Song Jin said, picking the best words she could find.

The Crown Prince chuckled.

“Do you truly think I’m exceptionally charming, Fourth Brother?”

Song Jin…

“Not just me, Your Highness. Everyone under the heavens must think so.”

“But I think you, Fourth Brother, are gentle, cute, clever, and lively.”

Song Jin’s heart trembled.

Here we go again.

She kept her mouth shut, not daring to speak.

Suddenly, she heard a hissing sound by her ear. Song Jin instinctively turned to look and saw a thick, green snake as thick as her wrist. Terrified, she screamed and jumped up.

The snake, seemingly startled, reared up, flicking its tongue and preparing to attack.

Song Jin…

Looking at the huge snake in front of her, Song Jin was almost scared to death.

“Your… Your Highness, you…”

The Crown Prince chuckled softly. “I had some snake powder sprinkled on the chair you sat on. This reception hall is built among the woods, so it’s normal for snakes to be attracted by the scent.”

Song Jin…

Normal, my foot!

It’s winter! Snakes should be hibernating!

However, as they spoke, more snakes of various colors slithered towards her.

Song Jin had never seen a snake before, let alone so many. Her legs felt weak.

“Did you invite me here to have these snakes bite me to death?”

The Crown Prince raised an eyebrow and smiled.

“How could you say that? It’s winter. Snakes are hibernating. How could they bite you?”

Song Jin…

Clearly, these snakes were brought here by the Crown Prince on purpose. She had naively thought the Crown Prince wouldn’t kill Shen Yue in his estate. Now, she realized she was too naive.

While the Crown Prince and Song Jin spoke, the snakes slowly slithered towards her. When the Crown Prince stopped talking, their movements quickened. Moreover, as they drew closer, more snakes seemed to be coming from outside.

Song Jin’s scalp tingled.

What to do?

The first snake, as thick as her wrist, was almost at her feet, flicking its tongue, its triangular head looking very aggressive.

If she used her mental power to control weapons now…

As the thought crossed her mind, Song Jin suddenly realized something.

The reception hall was adorned with many swords on the walls, and the way they were hung suggested they were newly placed.

A thought flashed through Song Jin’s mind.

Was the Crown Prince testing her?

Did he lure so many snakes here to make her use her mental power to control the weapons?

Damn it!

That was close.

But now, looking at the dense crowd of snakes approaching her, if she didn’t use the weapons to kill them, she might get bitten…

The Crown Prince was twisted enough that he certainly wouldn’t save her.

So was she just supposed to wait for death?

If she didn’t want to die and wanted to avoid being bitten, what could she do?

Song Jin’s mind raced.

However, with her limited intelligence, she couldn’t think of a good solution.

Oh my, where was her protagonist’s halo?

At this moment, shouldn’t a tall, rich, and handsome male lead appear to save the day?

Unable to find a solution, the snakes were getting closer, flicking their tongues. If she didn’t act soon, she would be attacked by a swarm of snakes.

Just as Song Jin was panicking, the thick green snake suddenly reared up and lunged at her, its mouth wide open.

A cold breath emanated from its open mouth as if it wanted to swallow her whole.

The Crown Prince watched with interest, looking forward to what exciting thing might happen next.

At that moment, just as the Crown Prince’s eyes gleamed with anticipation, Song Jin let out a shrill scream. “Oh my God!”

Before the scream even ended, the Crown Prince’s vision went dark.

At the moment the snake lunged, Song Jin, with lightning speed, leaped towards the Crown Prince, jumping straight into his arms.

The Crown Prince…

One moment he was watching the show, the next he found a weight in his arms.

As Song Jin lunged, the snakes followed, surging towards them.

Closing her eyes and gritting her teeth, Song Jin clung to the Crown Prince’s neck, refusing to let go.

Even in death, she wouldn’t let go.

The Crown Prince…

He hadn’t fully grasped what was happening when he saw the thick green snake lunging at him. With quick reflexes, he grabbed a pair of chopsticks from the table and flung them like needles at the snake’s open mouth.

With a loud snap, the snake was pinned to a pillar not far behind it. The chopsticks lodged in its mouth, causing it to writhe in pain.

The reception hall was suddenly filled with the smell of blood.

The sudden turn of events seemed to startle the other snakes. Previously calm as they slithered towards the Crown Prince, they now became agitated.

Each one exuded a menacing aura, flicking their tongues and preparing to attack.

The Crown Prince…

“Let go, or we’ll both become their dinner!”

Song Jin clung tightly to the Crown Prince’s neck.

“Never! If I let go, I’ll die alone. But if I don’t, at least we’ll die together. Besides, you brought these snakes. You must have a way to deal with them.”
