The Fourth Lady novel Chapter 84

Hearing Fengshuang's words, Murong Jingxuan also felt he had a point. At the time, both the black and silver python were rescued from that forest when he was passing by. The nearby residents of the forest slaughtered pythons for fun, but eventually suffered from the python's retaliation. Afterwards the inhabitants gradually became sparse, and thus the forest got its name.

"Heibei*, do you think it's possible?" Murong Jingxuan glanced to Heibei, and it too looked back, flickering its tongue, as if it was agreeing to his words.

(*TN: Black-back, I suppose it's also its species name.)

However, at that moment, Fengqing suddenly appeared before them, "Master, not good, young miss has disappeared?"

When he heard those words, Murong Jingxuan stood up at once, "What did you just say? Yan'er is missing?"

Seeing Murong Jingxuan's angry appearance, Fengqing gulped, "Master, I didn't do my best to protect her."

Murong Jingxuan looked to Fengqing and asked in a low voice, "Just what happened?"

Fengqing could only explain everything that had happened to Murong Jingxuan. For some reason, he had dozed off for a while, and when he woke, he found that Su Qingyan was already gone.

"Other than that, did you discover anything else?" Murong Jingxuan still spoke coldly.

"Other than that, the white tiger and silver python that usually followed by her side were missing too. Do you think this was specifically aimed at the young miss?"

After hearing what Fengqing said, Murong Jingxuan felt rather relieved. He had kept the silver python by his side for more than ten years, towards its nature, he was more than understanding of.

Other than Su Qingyan leaving the yard herself, even with just the silver python, no one would be able to break into Su Qingyan's room. Not to mention, she also had that white tiger by her side.

"Heibei, can you sense where the silver python is at?" Murong Jingxuan glanced to the black python on the floor.

Hearing the silver python's name, Heibei got up as if it was energized all over. Heibei once again flickered its tongue, telling Murong Jingxuan to crawl on its back. Murong Jingxuan did as it said, and afterwards, the python disappeared before them.

Heibei and the silver python were actually a pair of male and female pythons. At one point, they were almost killed by the nearby villagers. Just when they were about to be beheaded, Murong Jingxuan appeared.

He saved them from the hands of the villagers, and they soon discovered that Murong Jingxuan understood the language of snakes. Thus, they'd always stayed by his side.

Murong Jingxuan treated them really well, completely unlike those villager. Over time, they willingly remained by Murong Jingxuan's side.

"Heibei, just where are you taking me?" Murong Jingxuan became increasingly confused as he watched the pitch black landscape before him pass by. Don't tell me, Su Qingyan was going to appear here in the middle of the night?

Heibei hissed its tongue replying, "There's a pack of wolves nearby, master, we need to be careful."
