After hearing her gossip, all the civil and military officials went crazy.

Chapter 88 Group of Snakes
The system looked at the blue dots on the system panel and said, "[Soon.]"

No sooner had the system finished speaking than someone shouted, "The snake swarm is coming!"

Fang Lingchu quickly pulled Lin Wanrou behind her and looked around warily.

Lin Wanrou stood behind Fang Lingchu, looking up at the princess who was slightly shorter than her, and felt deeply moved.

She never expected that in such a dangerous situation, the princess would want to protect her first.

If Fang Lingchu were to look back at this moment, she would find that she seems to have gained another admirer.

Everyone stared intently at the approaching swarm of snakes, their skin crawling with goosebumps, especially those with trypophobia, who would surely have a fit at the sight.

After all, you're not afraid of seeing just one of these things, but seeing a whole group is a different story.

Fang Lingchu looked at the snakes and was trembling with fear; she was terrified of snakes.

【Aaaaaaah, Guagua, I'm terrified of snakes! Please find a way to make them disappear!】

Fang Lingchu's shrill voice rang out in everyone's ears, and everyone couldn't help but pick at their ears.

Hearing this, Lin Wanrou was deeply moved.

It turns out that the princess was also afraid of snakes, but she stood in front of him without hesitation.

Does she really deserve it?
Fang Lingchu had no idea what Lin Wanrou was thinking. She was so scared that she dared not move. She was terrified!

He just instinctively wanted to protect the female lead behind him.

Lin Wanrou looked up at Fang Lingchu, who was still holding her hand tightly despite her fear, and was about to speak.

The system then announced: "Host, be careful! A snake is already under the car."

Upon hearing the system's words, Fang Lingchu jumped away and crawled into the car, fearfully hugging Lin Wanrou.

Lin Wanrou felt a warmth in her heart when she looked at Fang Lingchu like this.

At first, she wanted her protection, because with her there, perhaps her life would be better.

But now she really likes her and hopes she's safe.

"Princess, don't be afraid, I will protect you."

Fang Lingchu didn't know what Lin Wanrou was planning, but she still took her hand and said, "Sister Lin, don't be afraid, I won't let anything happen to you."

My own palms were sweating with fear, yet I still had to comfort her.

Lin Wanrou smiled gently and patted Fang Lingchu's hand.

Then he took out a small jade flute from his clothes.

Seeing Lin Wanrou take out this instrument at this moment, Fang Lingchu said, "Sister Lin, people might not be in the mood to listen to you play music right now. Can we do it another time?"

Lin Wanrou looked at her gently and said, "Princess, I can control those snakes."

Fang Lingchu? What did she just hear?

[Guagua, what did Sister Lin just say?]

The system didn't react at first either. After a while, she excitedly said, "[That's right, host, the female lead can control an army of Gu worms. Controlling snakes is a piece of cake for her, how could you forget that?]"

Others: If you can control it, can you hurry up? They're going to be bitten to death by snakes.

The people outside, who were fighting the snake with all their might, were almost screaming.

Upon hearing the system's words, Fang Lingchu quickly said, "Then hurry up and control those snakes! The generals outside might not be able to hold on any longer."

Just as Lin Wanrou was about to leave, the system said: [Host, this is sent by Heaven to kill the Crown Prince. The female lead alone cannot do it.]

Fang Lingchu was anxious. What should she do?

What can we do then? Who else can we rely on?

The system thought for a moment and said, "Based on my data calculations, the female lead, combined with your rat's curse skill, should be able to control and kill this group of snakes, right?"

Upon hearing the system's words, Fang Lingchu fell silent.

After all, this is her last trump card.

"But I can only control 10, and aren't snakes living beings?" The system explained, "That's why I had you two work together. She's a person of great fortune; perhaps she can activate the rat's curse, and her other abilities..."

Fang Lingchu thought about it and agreed; after all, anything is possible in the face of someone with great fortune.

Fang Lingchu suppressed her fear of snakes, took Lin Wanrou's hand, and said, "I'll go with you."

Then the two girls appeared outside the carriage. The moment Lin Wanrou started playing the flute, Fang Lingchu simultaneously activated the Rat Curse skill.

(All inanimate objects, stop those snakes!)
Then you see those old, withered trees and vines instantly coil around the snakes.

At the same time, Lin Wanrou's flute playing was able to control the snakes and stop them from launching a fierce attack.

After all, she wasn't very skilled at controlling snakes yet, but she wanted to give it a try for Fang Lingchu's sake.

Unexpectedly, it succeeded.

Lin Wanrou played a leisurely tune on her flute, and the others noticed that the snakes had slowly come to a stop, and even began to attack each other.

Gu Wangyan seized the opportunity and said, "Now's the time. Take a knife and cut them in half."

As soon as Gu Wangyan issued the order, Fang Lingchu said, "Just cut off their heads."

Upon hearing Fang Lingchu's words, everyone instinctively did as she said.

Even the wounded ones took out knives and cut off their tongues.

Fang Lingchu watched as everyone dealt with the snakes in an orderly manner, and with Lin Wanrou in control, she felt that there was nothing for her to do.

[Guagua, why only have them cut off the snake's head?]

That's right, this suggestion was made by the system.

The system said: "I'd like to try the snake soup and see if it's delicious."

Fang Lingchu: ……

Others: So you left the snake to eat?

The system realized it might have said something wrong and quickly added: "Every part of a snake is valuable; whether it's the skin or the gallbladder, what you've kept will be useful."

Fang Lingchu thought about it and it seemed to be true.

The saying "every part of a snake is valuable" is absolutely true.

The maids around Fang Lingchu even used something to catch the snake's venom.

Among the maids the Empress gave him, one was skilled in medicine, though not as skilled as Gu Wangyan's Shao Gu.

However, her abilities were similar to those of the people in the Imperial Medical Academy, so she also knew what the snakes were useful for.

When others saw this, they helped to clean it up.

Some people even took sacks and filled them with a few live ones to take back with them.

The bizarre scene unfolded right now, and the arriving reinforcements expected to find the ground littered with corpses.

I expected to see my teammates exhausted, but instead I saw them struggling to kill snakes.

Seeing that people were coming, they quickly called for them to come and help.

The General Pingxi, who rushed to the rescue, was dumbfounded when he saw this scene.

However, he quickly regained his senses and went to the Crown Prince.

"Your Majesty, I am late in coming to your rescue. Please forgive me."

The crown prince waved his hand and said, "It's all over now. Deal with those things, pack them up, and head back."

Every day, the Crown Prince felt like his head was about to explode.

General Pingxi noticed their exhaustion and said nothing more.

He instructed others to take over the work of the previous staff, while he himself went to survey the surrounding environment to see if any dangers remained.
