Yang Guang knew that the cold liquid inside the snake's gallbladder was nutritional for humans when consumed.
Even though the benefits wouldn't do much for the young man, he still drank it down anyway to suppress the shock from having almost died and as an act of spite towards the snake that had almost killed him.
After downing everything, the bitter taste still lingered inside his mouth but his stomach was warm. He wiped his mouth before leaving the cave.
Stars were already out when he finally returned. Almost everyone was already back home preparing dinner and the village was filled with aromas.
There wasn't anyone out in the street. When Yang Guang almost reached home, he could hear an argument from the courtyard. Among the different voices, he recognized Sun Guoying's immediately.
Yang Guang's heart skipped a beat, unable to believe that the village chief would actually have the audacity to try and mess with him again.
