However, how could the little lizard resist Chi Jiao for long? After being stroked a few more times, it felt increasingly soothed. It twisted its body and fell into Chi Jiao’s hands, exposing its little belly to let her stroke it.
Seeing that the little lizard was licking Chi Jiao’s fingers, Beitang Lie clicked his tongue in disdain. “Tsk tsk tsk, such a bootlicker.”
The little lizard understood human eyes and immediately glared at Beitang Lie. It stuck out its tongue and suddenly licked his face.
“Ahhhh!” Beitang Lie let out another ear-piercing shriek.
That was so disgusting! So disgusting!
The little lizard was very pleased with itself and wagged its tail as it looked at Beitang Lie proudly.
“You cannot scare people.” Chi Jiao warned the little lizard.
The little lizard was very obedient in front of Chi Jiao. When it heard this, it whimpered and then laid on her hand sweetly, rubbing its head against her fingers.
Chi Jiao was amused and kept stroking its little head.
“Boss, you have such weird taste!” Beitang Lie said with a grim expression.
Chi Jiao looked at him in disdain. “You’re the one who’s too cowardly. Look at how cute this little lizard is. You were actually frightened by such a small thing and even screamed. Why are you so weak?”
Beitang Lie was so ashamed that he wished he could find a hole and crawl into it. He looked away and retorted. “How can you blame me? Who knew that this lizard’s original form was so cute? If I had known that it was just a little creature, I wouldn’t have been afraid.”
“Yes, yes, yes. You’re not afraid of living creatures. You’re afraid of ghosts,” Chi Jiao said perfunctorily.
“No way! I’m not afraid of ghosts!” Beitang Lie said vehemently. Suddenly, he heard a rustling sound above his head. “What’s that?”
Before he could react, the rustling sound coming from above became even more obvious. A crisp cracking sound could also be heard.
Boom—!
Before the two of them could react, the sturdy ceiling suddenly collapsed. A huge creature fell from above and landed on Beitang Lie with a thud.
With a loud bang, the chandelier fell to the ground along with the ceiling.
After the chandelier shattered, the fragments shot out and cut the back of Chi Jiao’s hand, causing sharp pain.
The wires hidden in the ceiling also snapped. The entire building was out of power in an instant. Only cold moonlight shone down from the sky, illuminating the body of the python that had fallen from the ceiling.
It was a dark green python. Its body was thicker than Chi Jiao’s waist, and it was about 20 to 30 meters long. Most of its body was hidden in the darkness. At this moment, the python seemed to have smelled the fragrance coming from Chi Jiao’s body. It raised its head in the darkness, its scarlet eyes emitting a bloodthirsty glint as it flicked its tongue at her.
“Chirp!” The little lizard seemed to recognize this huge creature. It hissed in fright and hurriedly tugged at Chi Jiao as if wanting her to leave.
Chi Jiao placed the little lizard in her pocket and stared at the python. She asked, “Beitang Lie, are you still alive?”
“Of course I am…” Beitang Lie’s tough scales protected him. He suddenly used his powerful jumping ability to shake off the python.
