The Secret to Picking Up Girls

With a muffled thud, the snake's vitals were deeply pinned to the tree, clearly dead beyond any doubt.

Although Zhang Yuze had dealt with the snake, his hands were still rather unrestrained, holding Zheng Jie's delicate body tightly, showing no intention of letting go. The hand on her waist gradually explored downwards.

"Where is your hand going?" Zheng Jie's face flushed slightly. Only then did she realize that she was actually holding onto Zhang Yuze. However, her body keenly felt his thieving hand placed there. Even though she was usually boisterous, this was her first time having such intimate contact with a man.

Zhang Yuze sheepishly retracted his hand from the girl's shapely buttocks, but his heart still lingered on the sensation.

"Which way should we go now?" Zhang Yuze looked at the sky, feeling that it was still early and they should be able to cover some more ground. He awkwardly changed the subject.

Zheng Jie looked around and then pointed in a direction by the roadside to Zhang Yuze, saying, "Let's go that way! I heard the sound of water just now, maybe there are some houses over there! It's time for us to find a place to rest properly for a couple of days!"

Zhang Yuze didn't have any better ideas at the moment. The two walked along the bushes. Zhang Yuze found Zheng Jie's behavior just now amusing: a runner-up in a Wing Chun competition, she could be considered a martial artist, so why was she still afraid of snakes? Thinking of this, Zhang Yuze's eyes rolled mischievously, and he suddenly whispered softly in her ear, "Be careful, there are many snakes here!"

Perhaps the effect of the word "snake" was too great. As soon as Zheng Jie heard it, she leaned her soft body tightly against Zhang Yuze's side like a frightened deer. Her face was filled with panic as she asked, "Where... where? Where is the snake?"

"Uh! I just said there might be snakes, I didn't say there really was one!" Zhang Yuze said, looking speechlessly at the flustered Zheng Jie.

Suddenly, Zheng Jie saw the thing Zhang Yuze was holding in his hand, and her expression changed drastically. "This... what is this?"

Zhang Yuze looked at the dead king cobra in his hand with some confusion, then looked at Zheng Jie and said, "The snake from just now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Yuze saw Zheng Jie disappear from his sight without a trace. Her speed was so fast that Zhang Yuze was amazed.

Zhang Yuze: "..."

He looked at the king cobra in his hand with some doubt. Zhang Yuze was a little strange, and muttered: "Is this so scary?" Thinking that Zheng Jie was scared away by a dead snake, he thought maliciously in his heart: This Zheng Jie must have been bitten by a snake when she was young. Although he thought so, Zhang Yuze still threw the dead snake away. In fact, Zhang Yuze guessed correctly. Zheng Jie was indeed bitten by a snake when she was young, although it was non-venomous, she had the feeling of 'once bitten, twice shy'.

Zhang Yuze followed closely, and sure enough, there was a very clear sound of flowing water ahead.

This was a small stream, with a trickle of clear water flowing down from the upper reaches. It hit the rocks, causing a rustling sound. Zheng Jie was squatting by the stream, her long, beautiful hair let down, cascading over her shoulders.
