The Bride of the Serpent Prince c5

TBoSP Chapter 5 - The snake's a bully
TL: The adjectives often used to describe Su Fei Yue is bossy and quick-tempered. In Chinese, we call those easily offended as 小气 (xiao qi). We can also describe this word as narrow-minded. 霸道 (ba dao) or bossy, on the other hand, is something like demanding, like how a higher up would order around their subordinates.



A melodious voice suddenly spoke up. Mu Tang Chun looked left and right to seek the origin of that voice. Not a single silhoutte can be seen. There is only her, and the snake alone within the vicinity. The only possible conclusion is...

T-The... The snake spoke!

Heavens, is this a dream? She'd rather believe in doomsday than the truth in front of her eyes. The snake spoke! This is ridiculous!

"You... You can speak? You actually spoke!"

Mu Tang Chun is too shocked by the truth in front of her that everything going on in the outside world goes unnoticed. She is so surprised, she forgot that the very same hateful, white snake is right in front of her, staring daggers back at her.

Looking at how terrified and confused she is, Su Fei Yue laughed loudly in his heart. In spite of that, he did not realise that this is a first that a woman has changed his mood considerably. He was not going to stop there. In order to make her give up, he moved his huge body close to her, leaning towards her. He glanced at her stupefied expression and said,

"Woman, do not forget what you've just said!"

"What did I say?"

Mu Tang Chun had her hands over her chest, desperately trying to calm her beating heart down. She wore a puzzled expression.

"You promised to provide food to me, now and forever. Since you're so sincere in apologizing to me, His Highness, I decided to stay for good!"

The huge snake shook his head dramatically. He finally did what he wished for; seeing the little woman changed her expression to a defeated one.

"You... You want to stay here?"

Heavens, this is too terrifying! Staying together in the same room with a huge snake? This is a death sentence! *sobs*

"What's wrong? You wish to object?"

d.a.m.ned woman, what's with that expression of hers? I, the majestic and grand Prince of Demon World has deigned to stay with this small human. She ought to be grateful instead! More importantly, she actually forgot how disrespectful she was just now! Nevertheless, I am a big-hearted prince. Such an incident will not bother me. But how dare she tried to object to me staying?!

"I..."

Mu Tang Chun glanced furtively at the snake in front of her, with jaws large enough to swallow her whole in one chomp. She swallowed the words she was about to say back in. Does she dare to say out the words?

"That... That's...! I don't mean it like that! You are big and my room is too small. It's almost certain that you can't fit it. Besides, if others discover you, you'll be an experimental subject! That would be really bad for you!"

*sobs* Did she do it right? Her reasoning is justifiable, even a snake would think twice to stay. This is about her safety after all. Even a snake should know fear! However, it is obvious that this is no ordinary snake, but a Prince of the Demon World with strong magic powers. He too, would not easily compromise with this woman.

"You're that worried about me? In that case, there's no reason to leave after all!"

He easily understood what she is trying to do. With just one breath, he crushed her last hope. Hmph! He actually doesn't even need to stay if he wants to tease her.

However, the more he spoke to this woman, the more he realizes... Scaring this small woman till her face goes pale, he angrily refuse to admit that her frightened expression is actually really cute.

With just one sentence, he announced Mu Tang Chun's "death sentence".

This snake is not only a tyrant, but quick-tempered too. She hung her head in defeat, trying to brainstorm what other methods she can use to convince this d.a.m.ned snake to leave.

This snake can not be allowed to stay. If Daddy and Mummy saw him, they'll be shocked!

WhatdoIdo, whatdoIdo?!

Lost in confusion, she did not noticed the huge snake who all of a sudden, disappeared without a trace. A delicate, thin string about an inch long slithered slowly up her leg through her trousers...
