Handsome CEO's Darling Wife

The other three sighed in relief. Mu Lan told Pedro, "Can you contact Shin and tell him to take care of the situation? I don't want the world to know about this."

"Actually, Shin contacted me the moment snakes came to attack you. He already took care of the satellite problem if that's what you are talking about."

"Okay, that's a piece of good news." Mu Lan huffed.

"Kid, what's your plan?" Carlo asked. "How long will you use your power like that? You haven't used your power for a long time and suddenly you are using so much force at once. The snakes aren't tired at all. They are coming relentlessly. This Li woman is professional." He reached the basement and started to check if there was any leak for snakes to come inside.

Mu Lan smiled. "To tell you the truth, I'm getting tired. I have to admit this woman is definitely better than me."

"What's your plan?" Pedro asked.

Mu Lan inhaled and exhaled a couple of times before saying, "Say, if animals are removed from the earth, the world will be on the verge of extinction. However, if it's humans to be eliminated from the earth, the world will continue. In a sense, human beings are not needed in the earth but the animals."

"Are you planning to destroy the human beings?" Antonio asked.

Mu Lan gritted her teeth. She was losing focus because of the hiss hiss noise all around her. "If killing one human can save thousands of snakes, I have to give it a try."

Pedro asked, "But how will you get close to the snake woman? You will have to get out of your barrier if you want to touch her."

"I won't touch her. I don't need to." Mu Lan narrowed her eyes and tried to focus on Mrs. Li.

Carlo closed his eyes and said, "Good luck with that. Don't let yourself hypnotized by the sounds and don't look at the snakes' eyes. Let us know if you need help." He didn't want to argue with her.

"Will she be okay?" Antonio asked Carlo.

Carlo shook his head. "I cannot say that for sure. This is the first time she ever fought someone who is equal to her. She had always fought against normal human beings so she has no clue how to deal with a snake woman. I hope she will find out soon how to approach her enemy."

Pedro said, "She won't even listen to us if we tell her a way to end it. Since she wants to use her own brain to beat it, we will let her be. She needs to learn, sometimes kids need to listen to their elders." He went back to the living room.

Antonio who was still in the submarine base started to scold his comrades. "Are you guys even human? How can you let her be there all by herself? What if she gets bitten?"

He felt frustrated. He wished he could use his water power to move the snakes from this island and save the remaining snakes. He couldn't imagine how many snakes had died in just two hours.

Pedro replied nonchalantly, "Let her get bitten. I'll take care of her after she suffers a little."

"…" Antonio was speechless. His comrades were too coldblooded.

In the living room, Mu Liang already noticed the snakes outside. He was worried sick about Mu Lan but he had to stay inside to be with his sons. He closed the curtains and didn't let the boys get close to the windows. He carried them on the couch and wanted to make them fall asleep.

Rice ball number one and number four were very obedient. Though they were feeling uncomfortable, they listened to their father. However, Rice ball number two and three were throwing tantrums. Since it wasn't their nap time, they were throwing their feet. It was already lunchtime and they wanted to eat. They were hungry after playing with their parents.

The second Rice ball said, "Mommy… mommy… mommy…" Suddenly remembering his mother, the third Rice ball also started to call out as well, "Mam…ma… Mam…ma…"

Mu Liang frowned and said coldly, "No."

The third Rice ball pursed his lips and then started weeping. His transparent black eyes turned watery and were looking at Mu Liang with a pitiful gaze.

Mu Liang closed his eyes and tried to forget those puppy eyes. He didn't want to fall for it. But the way Rice ball number three wept, it sounded too heart aching. Mu Liang pinched the space between his eyebrows. He softened his expression and patted the third Rice ball's stomach. "I know, I know. But your mommy needs to protect us right now. She cannot come and play with you. When everything is over, she will play as much as you want."

The second Rice ball saw that the third one was getting all the affection. So, he began to weep as well. Mu Liang sighed helplessly.

Pedro came back from the kitchen with chicken soup. He put the bowl down and walked towards the babies. He put his arms around the kids and asked, "Are they not listening to their father? They need some punishment then."

The second and third Rice balls shut up at once. They looked at Pedro wearily. They were afraid of this doctor grandfather. If they didn't listen to him, he would force them to drink bitter medicine.

Meanwhile, Mu Lan tried to kill Mrs. Li several times but she failed. Mrs. Li somehow understood her plan and laughed loudly. "I know what you are planning to do. But you won't succeed."

Mu Lan couldn't see Mrs. Li properly. She didn't want to look at the snakes' eyes as well. The hissing sounds were terrible and they didn't let her hearing sense work properly. She changed her plan. She took some deep breaths and calmed herself. She closed her eyes to follow her sixth sense. She located Mrs. Li's position through the wind and slowly and steadily moved inches closer.
