Reborn As Super Heiress

Huo Sining could no longer feel her breath. Although the python’s constricting force had reached its limit, she was also on the brink of collapse because she felt she was about to suffocate.

How long can a person survive without air? It’s like holding one’s breath underwater. It’s said that scientific experiments have shown that a person can only survive for a maximum of ten minutes without breathing, and that’s only if they’ve taken a deep breath of oxygen beforehand, filling their lungs with a large amount of it.

But now, as for Huo Sining’s lungs, there wasn’t even a trace of carbon dioxide left.

Compared to her, Gu Xu, who was lying on the ground, did not have the sensation of suffocation, but the bones in his knee were broken, leaving him in no better shape than Huo Sining.

Within just a few seconds, Huo Sining clearly felt the lack of oxygen in her brain, causing dizziness and nausea, and her consciousness began to blur.

Just as Huo Sining was feeling despair, a strange scene appeared before her eyes.

She saw spiritual energy emerging from her palm, slowly moving along the body of the giant python in front of her, freezing everything the spiritual energy touched into ice.

A surge of spiritual energy flowed out, freezing the python’s waist. It immediately felt the pain and instinctively loosened its grip on the two, attempting to escape.

But by then, it was too late. The spiritual energy in Huo Sining’s hand surged out like mad, and soon the giant python was surrounded by it, unable to even struggle as it was frozen into an ice sculpture in less than half a minute.

And as a large amount of spiritual energy was lost, Huo Sining’s face turned paler and, due to the suffocation, she couldn’t hold on anymore and fainted.

The last image in her mind was of the giant python’s body freezing stiff. Huo Sining had no time to contemplate what exactly happened as her consciousness grew hazy and she sank into darkness.

Seeing such an incredible and eerie scene, Gu Xu was left stunned and at a complete loss.

A perfectly good giant python was suddenly inexplicably frozen into an ice skeleton right before his eyes, and it was truly baffling.

However, seeing the snake dead, Gu Xu couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. Although he had only clashed with the snake once, he had already determined he was no match for it.

This snake was the overlord of the area. Judging by its skin and scales, it was almost certainly becoming a spirit. Now that it’s dead, they were safe.

But at the moment, Gu Xu couldn’t care about the state of the giant python; he rushed to Huo Sining’s side immediately.

Huo Sining had fainted from suffocation, but as Gu Xu pinched her philtrum, she slowly came to.

Seeing Huo Sining’s complexion gradually improve and that she wasn’t severely injured, Gu Xu finally relaxed.

Huo Sining then realized that the python had inexplicably died, and she thought about the incantation she chanted in the emergency. Understanding dawned on her—she survived great danger, and as the saying goes, there’s a blessing in disguise, she unintentionally unlocked a special ability.

Compared to Huo Sining, Gu Xu’s injuries were actually more severe. Not only were his internal organs damaged, but his right leg was also crushed and broken by the giant python. Huo Sining used her Heavenly Eye to examine and found his knee joint had fractured into several pieces.

Tears welled up in Huo Sining’s eyes as she looked at Gu Xu’s face, and after a long time, she finally cursed, ”You’re such an idiot...”

Even though Gu Xu was injured, he was more concerned about Huo Sining’s safety than his own injuries. Now seeing Huo Sining on the verge of tears, looking so vulnerable, his heart softened, and his eyes filled with a tender emotion. He reached out and pulled Huo Sining into his embrace.

Trembling arms gently wrapped around Huo Sining’s body. She felt herself enveloped in a strong yet soft embrace, and at that moment, she moved slightly, tears she couldn’t control burst forth like a river in spate, silently soaking Gu Xu’s shoulder and chest.

In that moment, she made a resolution deep in her heart, to love once more in this life, to love the man before her who risked everything to rescue her from dire straits.

Gu Xu was severely injured, but just as the giant python was frozen, Huo Sining’s spiritual energy was completely exhausted, leaving her unable to heal Gu Xu.

After resting for over an hour, Huo Sining finally felt a portion of the spirit of the Azure Pearl recover.

At that moment, she couldn’t care less and began using spiritual energy to heal Gu Xu.

Gu Xu had experienced Huo Sining treating his gunshot wound before, and at that time, he thought Huo Sining simply had some extraordinary skill, never connecting it to the Water-Repelling Pearl she was using.

But now, he had learned that there was a Water-Repelling Pearl inside Huo Sining’s body and that she was using the spiritual energy from that Pearl to heal him, filling Gu Xu with surprise and curiosity.

Although the spirit of the Azure Pearl hadn’t fully recovered, Huo Sining gritted her teeth, repairing Gu Xu’s right leg and internal organs. After ensuring there were no issues, she collapsed to the ground, gasping for air.

”Sweetheart...”

Seeing Huo Sining in this state, Gu Xu was immediately alarmed, anxiously moving closer to check on her.

Huo Sining waved her hand at him, ”It’s fine, I just need some rest. Don’t worry about me; go check if the snake is really dead.”

With his injuries significantly improved, Gu Xu didn’t hesitate to follow Huo Sining’s instructions, quickly turning to inspect the condition of the giant python.

Instantly frozen, if it were a human or any other warm-blooded animal, it would certainly have died long ago. However, snakes are different, being cold-blooded; even if frozen, they are only temporarily in shock, and once their body warms, they might not revive.

Just to be safe, Gu Xu decided to use a dagger to decapitate the snake.

After resting for a while, Huo Sining joined Gu Xu in his efforts.

Because the snake’s skin was extremely tough—clearly valuable—Huo Sining had Gu Xu find a way to peel it, extract the snake gallbladder, with the remaining snake meat cut into segments, all stored in her storage ring.

In the tropical jungle, while there are things to eat, seeing those fruits ripened like precious gemstones, not a single person dared to pick them casually. Since no one knew which were poisonous and which were not, no one dared to take the risk.

Comparatively, the snake meat was a safer choice. Although the python’s flesh was a bit tough, it was certainly non-poisonous and edible.
