Apocalypse: My Sweetie Is Tough but Cute-Chapter 122 - 121 What is the Little Snake King’s treasure?
Chapter 122: Chapter 121 What is the Little Snake King’s treasure?
The Little Snake King’s eyes glinted savagely. What kind of look is that? Can’t you see that this is a treasure? Redeem your sister’s crimes? One of its treasures could buy her ten houses full of grain, okay!
Never seen a treasure as fine as this, have you? Hurry up and thank me!
To Su Shu’s surprise, she deciphered its bizarre body language, her eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of her mouth curled up in a cold smile.
“Done something bad and won’t bow your head to admit it, still daring to talk back to me with your neck stiff, huh? Think you’re something special because you’re the Snake King? I’m going to chop you up today if I don’t, to pay back for all the grain I painstakingly carried back!”
“Swoosh swoosh swoosh—” Emma, miscalculation, better run fast!
A new round of chase began yet again…
...
In the end, Su Shu managed to lock the storeroom with a padlock and left the space.
Of course, before leaving, she didn’t forget to take the “worthless stone” with her.
Su Shu came out of the bathroom, and Xiao’ai was no longer in the living room. She looked up at the clock on the wall; it was almost 12 o’clock.
She tucked a strand of hair back behind her temple, embarrassed.
On the table, there was a drawing left by Xiao’ai, which she picked up.
In the drawing, a child stood at an open bathroom door, three question marks floating above their head ???
The bathroom was empty.
A shiver ran through Su Shu’s heart, and she couldn’t help but turn to glance at Xiao’ai’s closed bedroom door—this child…
Feeling uneasy, she went to check if Xiao’ai was asleep in her room. In the dark, with only the faint light from the living room, she saw that Xiao’ai had already crawled into bed and fallen asleep, clutching her dinosaur plushie.
After closing the door, she poured herself a cup of warm tea and sat on the sofa, the drawing Xiao’ai had made resting on the coffee table.

Although Xiao’ai was young, she was clever beyond her years, her large eyes twinkling as if she understood everything.
It seemed the little girl had already sensed something about her possibly disappearing.
It looks like I’ll have to find a good time to have a proper talk with her, when the moment is right, she thought.
But now there were more pressing matters to attend to; those could wait.
She sipped the warm tea in her hand while examining the “stone” she had brought out from the space.
She had been completely surprised that the Little Snake King would spit out a stone. During her brief scan inside, she knew the stone was no ordinary item because she had seen a faint glimmer of green on the stone the Little Snake King spat out.
Her first reaction was to recognize that the object was unusual, but she was too angry at the time to play into its hands and let it feel smug.
The grain had been devoured ferociously, and she needed to restock quickly, or else her hard work would be in vain.
She stared at the “stone” for a long time, unsure of exactly what it was. The green glint looked like it could be a gemstone; she decided to ask around the next day in the city.
…
The next day, early morning.
Su Shu prepared milk and fried eggs for breakfast, finished eating with Xiao’ai, and the two of them headed downstairs to do some strength training.
Her car had been left in the Peng Village Mountain Area, so now they had to take other transportation.
In the morning, she called Mr. Yu from the grain store to schedule a delivery to the warehouse after 3 p.m., as she had to take care of some business elsewhere in the morning.
On the other end, Mr. Yu was surprised to receive her call but then happy for her, “Miss Su, you’re feeling better! That’s great. I’ve heard about what you did back home; we owe you a lot.”
Su Shu knew he was referring to the medicine and quickly said it was nothing, and Mr. Yu inquired about her health. Learning that she was much better now, he was relieved and told her that people from their hometown often asked him about her wellbeing, which made Su Shu feel warm inside.
When Mr. Yu found out she could receive the goods now, he promptly mentioned that he had taken good care of the store for her and could deliver the goods right away. After knowing she had errands to run in the morning, they agreed on a time for the afternoon.
