Curtis glanced at the wooden rod, thinking that there were insects upon it. But there was nothing.

Just then, Bai Qingqing ran into the house. Seeing Curtis coil his snake’s tail around An’an, she immediately reached out to support An’an’s bottom. “You’re making her feel uncomfortable this way.’

“No, she isn’t,” Curtis replied earnestly.

How could that be? Half of An’an’s body was hanging below, and the weight of her body was fully reliant on her arms and her chest. An’an only didn’t make any noise because she was obedient. If it were the leopard cubs, they would definitely kick up a fuss.

Bai Qingqing lifted An’an and stroked her soft curls. After a moment’s hesitation, she said, “Curtis, I’d like to bring An’an to Flame City.”

The harmonious atmosphere instantly turned stiff.

Curtis slammed his tail heavily upon the floor, bringing about a slight tremor to both the ground and her body.

Stroking An’an’s little head, Bai Qingqing summoned her courage and looked towards Curtis’s face. “I feel that something is really off with An’an. Also, Winston worries me. Let’s make a trip to Flame City.”

The warmth on Curtis’s face faded in its entirety. He pursed his lips tightly and stared intently at An’an. “You’ll be in danger.”

“Who could harm me with you around?” Bai Qingqing said with her chin raised, exuding a hint of arrogance.

Curtis froze. Tickled by her response, he revealed a faint involuntary smile. However, very quickly, that smile was replaced by a solemn and stern expression again.

“However strong you are, there’s always someone stronger. I’m not invincible. The desert is territory I’ve never set foot in. It’ll be too dangerous for you to go.”

As Curtis spoke, he cast a glance at An’an. “Back then when I said I was going to kill her, I truly had the intent to do so.”

It was only when he saw Snow in such great torment because of her little snake whom she was separated from for a long time, did Curtis waver in that intent.

An’an was the baby Snow gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy and after experiencing all sorts of hardships. There was no doubt that An’an, who she had been attentively taking care of for more than half a year and cherished as a treasure, would have a more significant position in Snow’s heart than one of the many snakes in a nest.
