"You little stinker, did you see that? You must stink so much that even that great snake didn't want to eat you!" Dong Yu murmured, dropping Chu Mo to the ground, straightening her body, and then calming down her emotions.
Murmuring, "But... It was truly exciting! Who would have thought that I could actually escape from under the snake's eyelids?"
"But, it seems the snake is dead, which means there is something even more dangerous in that place. Oh my, how dangerous! My poor little heart..." Dong Yu said, gently patting her white-as-jade hand against her rising and falling chest.
At this point, Chu Mo, who had been lying there at death's doorstep, weakly said, "Can I have a drink of water?"
"Oh!" Dong Yu was startled, then widened her eyes, looking at Chu Mo in surprise, "You... you're not dead yet?"
"…" Chu Mo looked speechless at Dong Yu: "Which eye of yours...saw me dead?"
