Chapter 66
It would have been better if she had not seen it. She leaped up in shock.
Not far behind them, a cobra had lifted its body high up, constantly flicking its tongue out in an attack stance. Violet quickly reached out and grabbed Jack’s arm to stop him.
Jack whirled around spontaneously and followed her gaze. His body stiffened when he saw the snake. As a man, he instinctively stretched out his hand and pulled Violet backward, into his arms.
“What are you doing?” Violet was taken aback.
“Let me,” His tone was firm, albeit a little flustered.
Violet turned and saw his sharp eyes. “Are you going to fight a snake?”
Jack’s piercing eyes stared at the serpent. It had raised itself up high; they would not be able to run away fast enough. Furthermore, there might be a companion of the snake around.
He did not reply because he was focused on protecting Violet. This was his responsibility as a man.
Violet was touched by this, in fact. “It’s okay…” She whispered, “I’ll try to communicate with it. Let me go first.”
“Communicate? How do you communicate with a snake?” Jack felt that she had no fear of death.
He did not want to let her go. Nonetheless, Violet was insistent; she pried his hand off gently. “Believe me, it’s better than waiting to die. Are you seriously going to fight a snake?”
He frowned at her but she waved his hands away. Her eyes were focused on the snake very seriously. Then, she took a step forward carefully…
“Are you crazy?”
“Shh..”
He was fretful. “Don’t you know how dangerous this is?”
“Don’t talk,” Violet whispered before crouching down gently.
Jack was speechless! There was a piercing, cold glow in his eyes.
Violet turned and smiled at him. “It’ll be fine, believe me. Let me try this. Don’t talk,” She soothed him. After that, she shifted her eyes back to the cobra, which had not stopped flicking its tongue.
This was a fat creature! It must be at least three feet long.
Subsequently, Jack heard her make strange noises by pursing her pink lips. The snake did not look like it was about to attack. It swayed its head slowly while spitting its tongue in and out.
Violet spoke softly, as though she was communicating with the cobra. From NôvelDrama.Org.
On the other hand, Jack remained at high alert. His eyes were fixated on the snake. However, he did not do anything rash because he believed her for some inexplicable reason.
Violet and the snake engaged in a face–off with each other for about a minute. She kept her mouth in a pout, making adorable, soft noises. She observed the snake lower its head slowly to the ground, before swirling around and sliding away.
Violet maintained her crouching position and watched the snake glide further and further away…
Jack was astonished. How could such an aggressive cobra slither away so obediently?
Violet only sighed in relief the moment the snake disappeared from their sight. She stood up and dusted her hands. casually, “Done!” She turned to look at the man next to her. Jack, who had always been as steady as a mountain, was evidently stunned. His deep eyes were full of incredulity.
She waved her hand in front of him. “Hey!”
“How is it possible?” Jack stared at her. He frowned and asked solemnly. “What did you do just now? Did you communicate with the snake?”
“Yeah! I told it that we won’t hurt it or try to occupy its territory.” She met his gaze and smiled. “We’ve come here to hike and take a breather. We just want to be friends with it!”
Blinking, Jack forced himself to be as calm as he could be. He had experienced many things throughout his life but he had never seen such a peculiar scene.
He withdrew his eyes. There was an urge in him to question her. Nonetheless, he had seen what had happened with his
own eyes.

That had been a cobra, an extremely venomous snake that could bite!
Violet tugged at his arm. She was in a good mood. “What are you doing? Let’s go!” She passed by him, heading up the mountain. Had his opinion of her changed?
Jack looked at her slender figure and followed her from behind. “Can you communicate with snakes?”
“Don’t ask!” She replied with a smile, “Didn’t you see what just happened? Believe what you see.
“But it’s unscientific!” Jack looked at her while walking beside her. “How did you do it?”
