As soon as the lights were turned on, the surroundings suddenly became bright. The lights were so bright that people could not open their eyes.

  The window of Su Wan’s room was open. The night breeze was cool, and a gust of cold air came from the window,

  For some reason, Su Wan’s right eyelid suddenly twitched twice.

  The left eye twitched for wealth, and the right eye twitched for disaster. This law was always so accurate with Su Wan.

  In an instant, Su Wan had an ominous premonition.

  Although Su Wan’s hearing was not as good as that of Jiang Xuecheng, it was definitely not bad. When she heard the faint rustling sound, a chill suddenly rose in her heart.

  She subconsciously looked towards the source of the sound and was suddenly scared to the point of breaking out in a cold sweat!

  She saw that not far away, there was a large scorpion standing upright!

  That scorpion was unusually large in size and was so ugly that it was disgusting!

  The color of its body was a very unsightly earthy yellow. Looking at it suddenly, it looked like a huge man-eating monster!

  And that terrifying venomous scorpion was currently eyeing her like a prey!

  Compared to its body, the eyes of the large scorpion were extremely small. It was different from the earthy yellow body. Its eyes were scarlet red like flames. Su Wan almost felt that the scorpion had locked onto her with a single glance!

  This scorpion was definitely venomous!

  In a split second, this thought appeared in Su Wan’s mind!

  The scorpion suddenly jumped up and pounced towards Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng!

  “Jiang Xuecheng, be careful–”


  Su Wan had never been afraid of snakes or scorpions since she was young. However, in an instant, her heart was hanging in her throat!

  She hurriedly pushed Jiang Xuecheng away and cried out subconsciously.

  Pushing away Jiang Xuecheng was a subconscious action.

  Sweat dripped down Su Wan’s face. She did not think much and pushed Jiang Xuecheng aside.

  She did not want Jiang Xuecheng to be hurt. This was probably the deepest thought in her subconscious mind, so when danger approached, this kind of awareness was the most intense.

  A trace of shock flashed in Jiang Xuecheng’s eyes. He did not expect Su Wan to push him!

  He had wanted to protect Su Wan, but he had never thought that this girl would be so strong. She was usually soft and weak, so how could she push him away?!

  And that scorpion had obviously come for Su Wan. From the beginning to the end, that pair of scarlet eyes had only locked onto Su Wan!

  Things were not looking good!

  This was Su Wan’s room to begin with. This scorpion had appeared out of thin air. It was definitely someone who wanted to deliberately harm Su Wan!

  Seeing that the scorpion was about to bite Su Wan’s throat, Jiang Xuecheng’s heart skipped a beat. He understood that this was not the time to think about the whole situation.

  Because he was too flustered, Jiang Xuecheng almost forgot to use his own abilities. By the time he reacted, he had already rushed over.

  He did not know what kind of speed he used, but Jiang Xuecheng had already blocked Su Wan’s front.

  The venomous scorpion that should have pounced on Su Wan suddenly landed on his stomach. It swung its tail fiercely and pricked him!

  He felt a heart-wrenching pain. Jiang Xuecheng took a deep breath!

  The pain was so sharp that the back of Jiang Xuecheng’s hand was already covered in a thin layer of cold sweat.

  However, it was too late. Jiang Xuecheng suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed the scorpion’s tail. He threw it toward the open window!

  There was a loud bang, followed by the sound of rolling. No one knew where the venomous scorpion fell.

  However, at this moment, Su Wan was not in the mood to check the whereabouts of the venomous scorpion!

  Her heart was completely occupied by the man in front of her!

  As long as she thought of Jiang Xuecheng being stung in the stomach by the venomous scorpion, Su Wan’s whole body turned cold!

  “Jiang Xuecheng! How could you be so stupid?!”


  Su Wan felt a burst of intense fear in her heart, and she blurted out the full name of Jiang Xuecheng.

  Jiang Xuecheng was still a little confused as to why Xuecheng had the word “Jiang” in front of it. He did not understand the meaning of the word, but he did not have the heart to think too much about it, because Su Wan had already stumbled and ran towards him.

  Su Wan was burning with anxiety. She almost immediately reached out and pulled on Jiang Xuecheng’s shirt, wanting to see how Jiang Xuecheng’s injury was.

  A wound that was neither too big nor too small was already drilled in Jiang Xuecheng’s muscular abdomen. The surface of the wound was ferocious, and blood was continuously flowing out.

  Su Wan’s eyes reddened when she saw this, and tears subconsciously came out from her eyes.

  “How can you be so stupid! How can you use your body to block it for me!”


  Jiang Xuecheng felt helpless when he saw Su Wan crying. He stared at Su Wan’s tearful face, and he was actually somewhat satisfied in his heart.

  “It’s okay, don’t be afraid.”


  Jiang Xuecheng carefully put his arm around Su Wan’s shoulder. His voice was low and full of comfort.

  Just now, he felt the pain of being stung by the venomous scorpion. However, because of the concerned look in Su Wan’s eyes, he felt that the pain was nothing, as long as Su Wan was okay.

  Moreover, Su Wan was so concerned about him.

  Su Wan’s eyes were filled with tears as she glared at him angrily.

  “You’re bleeding! How can you say that you’re fine!”


  A faint smile appeared on Jiang Xuecheng’s face. He reached out his slender hand and subconsciously stroked Su Wan’s head.

  “Don’t worry. I’m blessed with great luck and my physique is much stronger than yours. I’ll definitely be fine.”


  “How will you be fine! I’ll call the doctor!”


  As soon as she thought of the yellow scorpion’s figure, Su Wan felt extremely uneasy.

  Seeing that Su Wan was anxious like an ant on a hot pan, Jiang Xuecheng smiled faintly and began to comfort her.

  “You know I have Dragon’s Blood. Normal venom can’t hurt me.”


  Even so, Su Wan still struggled out of Jiang Xuecheng’s embrace. She immediately dialed the communication tool in the room and instructed the maid to bring the doctor over quickly.

  She was not a person without common sense. She had often seen the animal world in the past. It was said that almost all scorpions had toxins in their bodies. However, some scorpions had very mild toxins, so it was difficult for them to harm humans.

  Among the many species, the red scorpions were almost non-toxic, while the black scorpions had very little toxins. Only the yellow and white scorpions were highly toxic!

  The venomous stingers on their tails had powerful venom, which could make people feel numb and tingling. In severe cases, it would damage a person’s nervous system and cause them to die of exhaustion!

  However, these two kinds of highly toxic scorpions usually lived in desert areas and rarely moved out.

  Moreover, scorpions were not creatures that liked to take the initiative to attack. They would only take the initiative to attack when they felt hostility.

  The one that was biting Jiang Xuecheng now was earthy yellow!

  This was not the tropics, so why would such a venomous scorpion appear here?!

  And it even attacked people directly?

  Su Wan’s hands were sweating, and various answers popped up in her mind. However, the most direct one was that someone wanted to harm her.

  Since it appeared in her room, the target must be herself and not Jiang Xuecheng.

  Who could be so vicious?

  Was it Diya or the high priest?

  Or was it someone she didn’t know?!
