Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1534

Pairs of large, glowing green eyes had them completely surrounded! The master frowned. He had experienced this scene on his last trip to the mountains, so he didn't make any rash moves. He watched his surroundings warily, went into the tent, and woke Evan up. "Those things outside, are they looking for White?" Evan quickly got up, ran out of the tent, and took one look. His little brow furrowed, and he clenched his fists! White was awake too, coiled around Evan's wrist, its head raised, flicking its tongue at whatever was in front of them. The eyes in the darkness stirred when they saw White. Evan confirmed again, asking White, "Are they all enemies?" White turned to look at him and flicked its tongue. "..." Evan clenched his jaw and said to the master, "Master, help me protect my brother. I'm going to take care of some personal business." Without giving the master a chance to reply, he darted forward in a flash, disappearing into the dense woods in seconds. The master was worried. "Evan!" Evan's voice echoed back, "Don't worry, I won't get hurt." The master wanted to chase after him but couldn't leave Elliot alone, so he could only frown and stare into the distance. White remained wrapped around Evan's wrist, constantly flicking its tongue as it watched him. Evan said, "You don't worry either. I've been holding it in since I didn't get to avenge you last time. I have to teach them a lesson this time, or they'll think you have no one backing you up and are still as easy to bully as when you were little!" Evan charged into the middle of the glowing eyes and scanned the area. He frowned, grabbed a venomous snake, and in front of all of them, driving his blade clean through the serpent's skull. Though he was young, his presence was formidable! He didn't hesitate, slicing the snake in two! The atmosphere immediately changed, becoming even more sinister and terrifying! The pairs of eyes stared intently at Evan and White, watching them like predators. Evan grew up in the mountains and wasn't afraid of them. He was worried about waking Elliot, so he led them further away. But Elliot woke up anyway. Seeing Evan wasn't there, he quickly got out of the tent. "Old Master, where's Evan?" The master glanced toward a flashing light in the distance. "Over there." Elliot frowned. "What's he doing?" The master said, "He went to fight. White's kind showed up, just like last time." Elliot was speechless. He knew Evan was getting revenge for White. When Evan had found White, the snake had been on the verge of death, likely attacked by its own kind. Animals, like people, had their own struggles. Evan had always kept White's grudge in his heart; he saw White as his best friend. The master asked with a frown, "Will Evan be in danger?" Elliot shook his head. "No. Evan can be impulsive, but he knows his limits. After we got back last time, he was always tinkering with new weapons specifically designed for them." A long time later, Evan returned. He had no injuries, but his face was smeared with dirt. Elliot handed him a tissue. "Wipe your face." Evan asked curiously, "Bro, how did you wake up? Did I wake you?" "No, I just woke up on my own. Did you get your revenge this time?" "Yep! I taught them a lesson for now. When I grow up, I'll take White and we'll charge right into their den! They think they can bully White just because there are more of them? White has me!" White flicked its tongue at him and lowered its head. Evan smiled and gently bumped White's head with his small fist. "Partners for life! You just wait. When I grow up, I'll get your revenge!" Elliot didn't know the details of White's grudge, so he didn't ask. "Alright, hurry up and get some rest. We have to get an early start tomorrow."
