Prince Murong quickly set up several protective barriers, which effectively blocked the saliva of the sharp-nosed viper.

"Wow, that's amazing! I never imagined this guy had all sorts of colorful stuff inside." Yeah, that sharp-nosed viper just now actually spewed out a bunch of colorful stuff.

While Yan'er was still immersed in the joy and excitement, Prince Murong's nerves became unusually tense. His sharp gaze pierced through the barrier and stared at the mouth and sharp teeth of the sharp-nosed viper. What he feared had come to pass, and it came even faster than expected. The sharp-nosed viper opened its bloody mouth, and its sharp teeth came knocking out.

*Pfft pfft pfft.* The restrictions were instantly broken.

Completely broken? Or broken in an instant? This was something Prince Murong hadn't anticipated. Undoubtedly, someone as seasoned as Prince Murong, who had endured countless trials in snake dens, couldn't have been unaware of the two rows of sharp teeth in the snake's mouth. He had already added sufficient thickness to the barrier, but he hadn't expected the fangs of this sharp-nosed viper to far exceed his expectations. Fortunately, Prince Murong was, after all, a seasoned general, and his emergency response capabilities were certainly present.

"Hold me tight," Prince Murong said to the person in his arms.

At this moment, Yan'er, her legs weak, was practically clinging to Prince Murong. Prince Murong wrapped his left arm around Yan'er's slender waist, and with a swift flick of his right hand, a thin rope shot out. Strangely, the rope didn't strike the viper and the toad, but instead struck the rocks opposite the waterfall. The end of the rope wrapped around an old pine tree, and the two of them floated away like fairies, a truly beautiful and fantastical sight. Before the viper and the toad could even understand what was happening, Prince Murong performed another 360-degree turn, weaving through the waterfall once more. The viper, not daring to underestimate him, carried the toad with utmost vigilance, carefully protecting the little flower in its arms, fearing Prince Murong would snatch it away. Little did it expect that Prince Murong, carrying Yan'er, would weave back and forth, left and right, up and down, through the water several more times.

"Huh? Why aren't you trying to steal the flowers? Weren't you just trying to pick them?" The sharp-nosed viper was puzzled when the silent toad on its back suddenly hopped away, abandoning the viper and flying straight towards Prince Murong and his companion.

The sharp-nosed viper grew anxious. "You toad, how can you be so dishonest? You usually just lie there on my back, completely still and refusing to budge, but now you're trying to get there first! Humph! No way!" The moment the toad shot off and began its freefall, the sharp-nosed viper lashed out with its venomous tail and plunged into the waterfall.

*Pfft.* A toad landed right on Prince Murong's lips, just as he was about to touch Yan'er's. What the hell? Prince Murong's anger flared instantly. He flicked his wrist, and the thin rope spun rapidly, its end tightly binding the two of them together. Then, he stretched out two fingers and struck the ungrateful creature with a powerful blow.

Wow, luckily I dodged it quickly, otherwise I would have been smashed to pieces. I wasn't going to fall there, but there seemed to be two very pleasant scents that strongly attracted me, making me unable to resist. Hmm, this scent would make me, no, it would make even a toad like me fall for it.

*Snap.* Just as the toad was savoring the aroma, the incredibly handsome, arrogant yet ruthless man launched another surprise attack, the force of which nearly snapped the toad's legs in two. "You stubborn fool! Don't you know I'm just a toad? Can't you show some mercy? Do you have to push me to my death?" "Fine, you've crossed me. I'm not leaving. I'll fight you to the death!" The toad steeled its resolve, leaping back onto the stone wall, then, eyes closed, recklessly hopped onto Yan'er's head. "Hold on tight! This is the taste I wanted! Compared to the faint yang energy of the viper, this is a thousand times, ten thousand times stronger! What more could one ask for in life? God, grant me eternal life!"

The toad finally smelled the swan's meat; this was the greatest happiness of its life! Even if it were to die at the swan's feet right now, it would have no regrets.

A drop of saliva dripped from the mouth of the sharp-nosed viper.

The sharp-nosed viper initially intended to protect Little Flower, after all, she was the one it was protecting. But the moment the toad leaped up without hesitation, it seemed to smell a refreshing scent that drove it mad. Yes, if it could inhale this scent for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, its power might increase several levels. Damn, who is this immortal being? And so captivatingly beautiful, not to mention the breathtakingly ethereal aura, enough to make this ten-thousand-foot waterfall pale in comparison.

It made its decision; the sharp-nosed viper was going to betray its master. Today, it would take the little flower it had been protecting and seek refuge with a new master. With a flick of its tail, the delicate little flower landed on its mottled, ugly tail. At the same time, a piercing pain shot up from the tip of its tail. The sharp-nosed viper knew this was the consequence of betrayal, but it couldn't care less; it needed a new beginning.

*Crack!* Good heavens, it forgot that its body, which had been lifted into the air, was now plummeting downwards. *Snap!* Its old back felt like it was broken; the excruciating pain of slamming into a rock was unbearable. The sharp-nosed viper was about to stretch its aching body when its tail, a beat faster than it could react, quickly snapped shut in pain. Little Flower couldn't be broken; if it was, its two new owners wouldn't want it anymore, and it would miss a once-in-a-millennium opportunity! To protect Little Flower, the poor sharp-nosed viper had no choice but to use its head and body, forming a powerful circle that held Little Flower gracefully in its embrace.

Suddenly, a sharp-edged stone came crashing down on its head. The sharp-nosed viper could have turned and entered the water to avoid it, but if it moved, the flower would break. Moreover, the sharp-nosed viper saw out of the corner of its eye that the stone was the one that the two new masters had stepped on, and that the stone should still be covered with magical energy.

*Thud!* A rock struck him right where it hurt. Oh no! The sharp-nosed viper stared, utterly dejected, at the toad above the beautiful woman's head on the cliff, then blacked out and fainted.

But when Prince Murong and Yan'er looked down, they were surprised to find that the sharp-nosed viper was looking up at them with its head held high, as if in devout worship.

Yan'er said, "Your Highness, there is a snake on the rock below, and there is a flower on its body."

Prince Murong replied, "Who cares?"

"You're courting death." Prince Murong swept his hand across Yan'er's head, and a toad was flicked away, landing right on the sharp-nosed viper and its original owner, Xiao Huahua, shattering its petals all over the ground.

"What a pity," Yan'er said regretfully.

Prince Murong reached out and pulled the thin rope, lightly touched the rocks on the cliff with his feet, and, with his princess in tow, once again traversed the cascading waterfall...
