The Typhoon's Dangerous Wife

The tall lady had platinum blonde hair, and the tips of her hair were dripping with red dye. It was weird but Ming Xiuying didn\'t say anything. 

Well, it was not her place to tell the woman that she was the weirdest creature! 

And as to what she was wearing... if there was an Asian Billie Eilish, that would be this girl. However, the tall woman was half Asian and a half she didn\'t know. 

The lay moved and the dripping red dye fell on Xiuying\'s pink clothes, completely dirtying them. 

"Oh, it seems I dirtied your clothes." The girl said in accented English. 

Xiuying who had watched numerous English movies could recognize that it was neither British nor American. 

"It\'s okay." Xiuying was exasperated as it was the last clean dress she had right now, but she didn\'t want to make a scene as someone else had done. 

"No. No. It\'s not okay," the tall lady whose wet red hair tips were still dirtying Xiuying\'s clothes exclaimed. "Please, come with me. I will compensate you with another dress." 

The situation Xiuying was stuck in was insane! Who walks in public washrooms with dripping red dye? 

This lady was very strange! 

And now she was trying to compensate with another dress. Whatever! She didn\'t want it. 

Xiuying also didn\'t want her to compensate as she didn\'t share the same fashion sense like her. 

Who would want to wear bright and catchy baggy clothes? 

"Please, Miss, it\'s completely fine." Xiuying held up her hand to stop her from further insisting on her." I really don\'t want you to insist on compensating me further." 

She just wanted to leave this place with her fiance and get a good night\'s sleep in his arms. When things got hard, he was always there to comfort her! 

Remembering the sweet smile on his face, she just wanted to leave everything right here and now, and return to him. 

As Xiuying was about to leave the washroom, a hiss was heard and as she looked below at her feet, a snake was sitting proudly on its coiled body. 

The color drained from Xiuying\'s face as the snake hissed again. 

Where did it come from? 

And why was it relaxing before her? 

It looked like it was a poisonous snake. Obviously it was a poisonous snake.

"Rogor movida ak?" The question in a foreign language was uttered by the weird lady behind her. 

\'Where did it come from?\' 

"What?" Xiuying asked her. 

"Where did it come from?" the lady asked her in English. 

It seemed that the lady didn\'t know how to converse in Chinese.

"How would I know?" Xiuying wanted to snap but her aristocratic training didn\'t allow her that so she softly asked. 

"Well...you\'re right too," the woman spoke casually. 

"By the way, why are you shivering? Isn\'t it just a Vipera?" The lady asked her again. 

Xiuying had an itch to turn back and shake the lady to ask her what she was made of. 

It was a deadly snake for God\'s sake. Wasn\'t she afraid of it? 

But who she was asking! The lady was already too weird for her sanity! 

The lady yanked Xiuying beside the sink and then grabbed the snake from its head so casually that it appeared that it was a regular affair for her. Lord knew where she got the polythene from but she did and tossed the deadly snake inside and captured the snake in a flick of an eye. 

Then, she pulled out a small bottle from her pocket and dropped the contents of the bottle in her hands, and began washing her hands nonchalantly as if she hadn\'t dealt with a snake just now. 

"What?" The lady asked the astonished Xiuying. "Haven\'t seen a lady washing her precious hands with sanitizer?" 

\'Ladies don\'t use their perfect hands to catch a deadly snake.\' Xiuying wanted to ask but refrained from asking. 

Instead, she said, "Thank you for protecting my life miss. I have no words to describe my gratitude. Please tell me what I can give to repay your kindness." 

"You can give me your life when the time comes and we will call it even," came the nonchalant reply. 

Xiuying froze. 

"Ah, no need to react like this. Just change into the new set of clothes," the lady said with a smile. 

Xiuying sighed in relief. 

"Sure." 

They left the washroom, and were on the way to the lady\'s private room when Xiuying asked," Are you gonna kill it?" 

The lady frowned. "Kill who? The Vipera?" 

Xiuying nodded. "Are you going to kill the snake?"

The lady looked at her as if she was crazy. "Why would I kill it? Such a beautiful species. It\'s not every day you get to find Vipera Kaznakovi near a bathroom sink. So, I will take it as a souvenir from this memorable trip to China. I found something belonging to my home country in your exhibition." 

"What do you mean by something belonging to your home country?" Xiuying asked her in confusion. 

"Ah, it\'s Vipera Kaznakovi." The woman spoke with a gentle gaze. "It is endemic to Turkey, Georgia, and Russia. So, I was quite startled when I saw it hissing before your feet, but the surprise soon transformed into mirth as I realized which species it actually belonged to." 

"Then, how on earth did it come on this cruise ship?" Xiuying asked in shock. Her body on the verge of collapsing. 

"God! Are you really slow or pretending to be slow?" The woman asked. "Isn\'t it obvious that the Vipera was placed inside to kill you? It can\'t come to the ship on its own and none of the people who entered the washroom before you encountered it so it\'s as simple as a periodic table that it was placed specifically here for you."
