The mysterious milk group, hands on hips, is being fought over by five dads who are going crazy over

Aning curiously craned her neck to look inside, but Zhao Lincheng blocked her view.

Zhao Lincheng stood before the secret passage, his expression solemn.

"That beast is locked up here by me."

"You two be prepared, this thing is really quite frightening."

Ye Linqian closed his fan, his handsome face showing composure. He looked down at A Ning and said, "Little A Ning, if you are scared, you can cover your eyes. Daddy will lead you."

Aning shook her head. "Aning isn't afraid!"

Let's go!

The secret passage spirals downwards into the underground, long and narrow, allowing only one person to pass at a time.

Zhao Lincheng walked in front, A Ning walked in the middle, and Ye Linqian brought up the rear.

The further you go in, the more pronounced the eerie hissing sound becomes.

The tremors on the ground became increasingly intense.

Zhao Lincheng was sweating profusely, but A Ning and Ye Linqian acted as if nothing had happened.

After an unknown amount of time, the three finally reached the end.

Zhao Bingcheng turned the mechanism on the wall, and the black iron door in front of him slowly opened—

A giant python suddenly lunged forward!

Zhao Lincheng was so frightened that he fell to the ground!

Aning stood in front of the python, looking up at it with her grape-like eyes filled with curiosity.

"Ah Ning has never seen such a big snake before!"

The python flicked its tongue at her, then coiled its body parts around the ground even tighter, causing the floor to tremble.

Zhao Lincheng stood up and, seeing that even a child like her hadn't been frightened, wiped his sweat with some shame.

"This is the beast I told you about; it's a giant python."

"It has suddenly grown rapidly in the past two months, as you have seen, and the underground space can hardly contain it anymore."

"Hiss—!"

The giant python suddenly pounced on the three of them!

Zhao Bingcheng swiftly turned the mechanism on the wall, and several chains shot out from the inner wall, binding the giant python and immobilizing it!

Zhao Bingcheng pressed his throbbing temples and continued, "A few days ago, it was growing so fast that it shook the houses in the mansion, which terrified my wife so much that she almost had a premature birth."

"I just want to see if there's any way to make it smaller, or at least stop it from growing!"

"And as you've seen, this giant python has a terrible temper; it's always trying to bite people. I really..."

Ah Ning rested her chin on her hand and pondered for a moment: "Lord Zhao, do you also want to feed this snake blood like your grandfather did?"

Zhao Bingcheng nodded quickly: "Yes! It was also five years ago that a mysterious man in black brought a snake, only the length of a forearm, to our residence, saying it had to be fed with the blood of a close relative of the Zhao family!"

"But my Zhao family only has one son, I..."

He suddenly stopped mid-sentence.

Ye Linqian gently shook his folding fan and said unhurriedly, "Lord Zhao, I suppose you've realized that all these years you've been feeding him blood that isn't your own son's."

"Could this be why the giant python went berserk?"

"After all, that wolf from the Yong'an Prince's Mansion is quite good."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Lincheng's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

After a long silence, he sighed softly, "Please keep this shameful matter a secret, Lord Ye. If it becomes the talk of the town, my wife... she will not be able to bear it."

Ye Linqian: "Don't worry, Lord Zhao."

"I know!" Ah Ning pointed at the giant python that was bound by chains. "It's because it drank the wrong blood that it's so irritable and fierce."

"This snake should be as docile as the wolf cub at Grandpa's house!"

"???" Zhao Lincheng was a little confused.

Although he wasn't present when the wolf caused trouble at the Yong'an Prince's Mansion last night, and he hadn't seen the wolf go berserk, he had seen that giant wolf before.

Just the sight of them lying on the ground was incredibly oppressive and instilled fear.

This terrifying wolf was described by her as just a docile little wolf...?

Ye Linqian chuckled lightly: "Does our little Aning have a way to solve this?"

Ah Ning rested her chin on her hand, pondered for a moment, and said, "Lord Zhao, Father Ye, please step back a bit, Ah Ning is about to begin!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Lincheng and Ye Linqian quickly took several steps back.

Immediately afterwards, Ah Ning took out several talismans from the small pouch at her waist, formed hand seals, and chanted incantations.

Soon, the talismans in her hand flew out and spun around the giant python, forming a golden circle.

The giant python was bound by chains, unable to move, and could only stare helplessly at Ah Ning, hissing...

Gradually, the golden circles formed a semicircle, completely enveloping the giant python.

In the blink of an eye, the terrifying giant python disappeared!

Instead, there was a small snake on the ground, only as long as a person's forearm!

Zhao Lincheng was so surprised that his eyes almost popped out!

Before coming, he thought Ah Ning would be very capable, but he never expected her to be this capable...

She's just a four-year-old toddler...

Over here, Aning went into the inner room, reached out to stroke its smooth head, and said in a childish voice:

"Don't be afraid, little snake, Aning won't hurt you."

The little snake had lost its previous frightening aura and cowered in the corner, not even daring to let Aning touch it.

Ah Ning removed the talismans pasted around it, turned to Lord Zhao and said:

"It's been resolved. From now on, just follow what that mysterious person said and feed it blood every day. It won't hurt people or try to eat them anymore."

"But Lord Zhao, Ah Ning is very curious, why did the mysterious person want you to be fed with blood?"

Zhao Lincheng shook his head: "To be honest, I don't know either."

"One day he suddenly appeared and told me to do what he said, or my whole family would die..."

Ah Ning blinked, then started calculating with her little hands, and soon frowned.

"Lord Zhao, you must be careful in the next seven days, or you may suffer a bloody disaster."

Zhao Lincheng's pupils suddenly contracted. "You...you mean..."

Ah Ning pursed her lips. "Ah Ning doesn't know the specific reason, I can only remind you."

As she spoke, she took out a talisman from her small purse, folded it into a triangle, and handed it over.

"This talisman can avert a disaster for you in a critical moment and protect you."

"During the day, keep it close to your chest; at night, put it under your pillow. Make sure to do as Ah Ning says!"

Zhao Lincheng took the talisman with trembling hands, swallowed hard, and said, "I'll remember it. Thank you, thank you."

As if anticipating something, he gave a relieved smile: "If I'm still alive in seven days, I will definitely prepare generous gifts and go to the Prime Minister's residence to repay your kindness!"

Ye Linqian sighed, took A Ning's hand, and said softly:

"Lord Zhao is a lucky man, he will surely be safe and sound."

"Now that everything has been resolved, we won't bother you any longer. Farewell."

Zhao Lincheng gripped the talisman tightly and nodded weakly.

Ye Linqian then took A Ning's hand and returned the way they came.

Ye Linqian didn't speak until they had walked a long way and were almost at the entrance.

"Ah Ning, will Lord Zhao survive?"
