Although they didn't understand the reason, Old Hai and the other six instinctively retreated back into the hall, while Liu Zijun and the others stood guard outside the hall.

Just as Yang Mengchen opened the courtyard door, she saw Xiao Guai running towards her at full speed. A few meters away, Xiao Jin was rearing half of its body upright, its mouth wide open, hissing with its long forked tongue in a very frightening manner, and a middle-aged man was lying on the ground not far away.

Apart from the Yang family, everyone else's faces were as pale as snow, their bodies trembling uncontrollably. Long Xuanmo's pupils, too, contracted sharply. The White Tiger was one thing, but a giant Golden Serpent like this was something they had never seen before, naturally leaving them frightened and chilled to the bone.

'Master, Xiao Jin is in trouble!'

After patting Xiao Guai on the head to signal it not to worry, Yang Mengchen led everyone to take a few steps back to allow Xiao Jin to enter the courtyard. She looked up at Xiao Jin, her voice gentle and soft as a warm breeze, "Xiao Jin, dear, you're home now, don't be afraid, no one is going to hurt you!"

The scarlet serpent eyes stared fixedly at Yang Mengchen, Xiao Jin's gaze seeming somewhat bewildered as if trying to recognize the person before it.

"I know Xiao Jin must be in a lot of pain right now. Lie down nicely, and let me see where you are uncomfortable," Yang Mengchen coaxed softly.

Xiao Jin remained upright, emitting a continuous hissing sound, clearly very irritable.

With a gentle smile, Yang Mengchen spoke softly, "Xiao Jin, don't forget, you, Xiao Guai, and Xiao Bai are all our family. We won't hurt you. Listen to me, Xiao Jin. Let me have a look, and you'll be all right in no time."

At her side, Xiao Guai and Xiao Bai howled in unison, joining in the effort to soothe and coax Xiao Jin.

After a long while, seemingly finally recognizing Yang Mengchen as its master, the redness gradually faded from Xiao Jin's serpent eyes. Slowly, it lowered its reared body and let its long forked tongue lick Yang Mengchen's hand, lying submissively on the ground without moving.

Gently stroking Xiao Jin's snake head, Yang Mengchen praised with a smile, "Our Xiao Jin has always been a good child. Now, I must see what has made our Xiao Jin suffer. I will flay the skin, strip the bones, and disperse the soul of whatever caused this pain, so that it may never attain rebirth!" As she spoke, she waved her hand at Yang Cheng'an, signaling him to go out and save the man.

Seeing the giant golden serpent actually heeding Yang Mengchen's commands and lying down obediently, everyone was already in total shock and amazement. But after hearing what Yang Mengchen said, they all wanted to laugh but couldn't, creating an exceptionally eerie atmosphere.

Yang Mengchen carefully lifted Xiao Jin's scales and saw, just as she had suspected, that there were black ticks on Xiao Jin's body, with a few spots even oozing tiny traces of blood. Thankfully, there weren't many.

"Second brother, bring me my medical kit." Yang Mengchen took out a small porcelain bottle from her bag and poured out a pill, "Xiao Jin, I'm going to clean all the bugs off your body. Eat this, and you won't feel the pain later."

With its long forked tongue, Xiao Jin curled the pill from Yang Mengchen's palm into its mouth and swallowed it, closing its eyes and quickly losing consciousness.

Yang Mengchen then took out another kind of pill and handed it to Yang Chengxuan, "Third brother, prepare warm water in a large tub at a ratio of one to one thousand."

Yang Chengxuan immediately headed to the kitchen.

Receiving the medical kit, Yang Mengchen handed out gloves and tweezers to Yang Chengning and the others, "Carefully inspect every scale, and if you see any of these black bugs, gently tweeze them out and put them in the bottle. Be careful not to break them, otherwise, they will be very difficult to get rid of."

They all nodded in understanding and began to search for and remove the ticks.

Taking the porcelain bottle from Yang Mengchen's hand and noticing her puzzled expression, Long Xuanmo said calmly, "I'll hold this for you so you can inspect more conveniently."

Yang Mengchen did not object and continued her search through each scale.

With the Prince himself lending a hand, Mo Yun and his company naturally could not remain indifferent and also stepped forward to help.
