Courtyard House: The Frog Boy Brings Back a Genetic Potion at the Start

"Do you think I don't want to? But right now... we really can't touch him."

Unexpectedly, Jia Dongxu grinned, revealing a chilling smile.

That smile was chilling; even Madam Jia felt a shiver run down her spine.

"Dongxu, what...what do you want to do?"

A wise child is better than his mother.

The son's expression clearly showed that he was determined to do evil.

However, her repeated setbacks made Jia Zhangshi fearful, afraid that if she caused trouble again, she would be punished by Hao Jianguo. Even the deaf old lady in the courtyard could not do anything to him, so she was really afraid.

Jia Dongxu smiled sinisterly: "Mom, don't panic."

This time, Hao Jianguo is definitely finished.

"I know an old friend who often goes up the mountain to catch snakes to exchange for money."

His methods... allow him to obtain venomous snakes.

This is something that can't be done in the open; he only dares to do it at night.

"Go tonight and tell him my name, and he will surely give it to you."

Even if he doesn't have it right away, just ask him for a definite answer; he'll get it eventually.

"This time, not only will Hao Jianguo die, but his wife and the baby in her belly... none of them will survive."

Such an eyesore doesn't deserve to remain in this world.

It must be said that Jia Dongxu's scheme was truly insidious; even his mother, Jia Zhangshi, couldn't help but shudder upon hearing it.

Madam Jia knew perfectly well that if even the slightest leak of this matter were to occur, the entire Jia family would likely face utter ruin.

However, Jia Dongxu then explained many things to her in detail. In Jia Zhangshi's view, her son's plan was not impossible to implement.

She finally nodded.

Having gone through all these years, both Jia Zhangshi and Jia Dongxu have hardened their hearts to the point of being cold as iron.

As long as they can bring down Hao Jianguo and extinguish his smug momentum, there is nothing they wouldn't dare to do.

"Alright, then I'll set off tonight."

Hao Jianguo was completely focused on Yu Li at the moment, so he had no time to pay attention to the Jia family's movements, let alone know what kind of evil scheme that family was secretly plotting.

These days, he is busy from morning till night, taking good care of his pregnant wife.

"Jianguo, don't always be so busy taking care of me. I'm not that delicate. I can do many things myself."

You're already exhausted from work during the day, and now you have to come home and do all that work for me. It breaks my heart to see you like this.

Yu Li looked at her husband with eyes full of pity.

Hao Jianguo just smiled and gently pinched the tip of her nose.

For him, as long as Yu Li smiled, no amount of fatigue mattered.

As he spoke, he turned and walked into the house, intending to continue tidying up.

Just then, a familiar melody suddenly rang in my ears.

Hao Jianguo paused, a surge of joy rising in his heart—after being out of sight for so long, the little frog had finally come home.

Looking at the frog-shaped light and shadow that appeared before him, he couldn't help but tease, "Little guy, you finally know how to come back? I thought you'd met a sweetheart out there and were having too much fun to remember home."

The frog-like shadow seemed to understand, and rolled its eyes at him in an extremely human-like manner.

[Ding-dong, Master, Frog didn't want to come back so early; the journey isn't over yet.]

But there was no other way; the frog sensed its owner was about to be in danger and had to rush back to protect them.

Danger?

Hao Jianguo was taken aback upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashing across his face.

This was the first time Frog had rushed back for such a reason.

He carefully recalled the events of the past few days, but did not notice anything unusual about his surroundings.

But he dared not be careless.

Now he is no longer alone; his wife is pregnant, and he cannot allow them, mother and child, to be threatened in the slightest.

Just as Hao Jianguo was about to ask what kind of danger it was, Frog suddenly handed him a package.

Having been away on a long journey for so long, it's a rare treat to come home, so naturally it wouldn't return empty-handed.

[Ding dong, congratulations, master, you have obtained ten catties of beef and ten catties of pork...]

Upon opening the package, the first thing that catches the eye is a large amount of food and daily necessities.

Hao Jianguo didn't look at them for long. With a thought, he put them all into his storage space.

The supplies stockpiled there were already piled up like mountains; the meat alone was enough to feed a family for several years.

[Ding dong, congratulations master, you have obtained the "Top-Tier Poison Control Technique". This technique allows you to sense and control celestial objects, and also comes with the "Rabies Curse".]

[Ding dong, congratulations to the owner for obtaining "Top-Tier Craftsmanship Mastery".]

Hearing the frog's good news, Hao Jianguo was quite satisfied.

[Ding-dong, Master! Frog is currently exploring Uncle Nine's zombie world and will bring back some unique items from there from time to time. Stay tuned!]

As soon as he finished speaking, the frog's figure faded away, and it embarked on its journey once more, heading towards that world filled with talismans and zombies.

Hao Jianguo suddenly realized—no wonder Frog had been bringing back all sorts of talismans lately; they all came from Uncle Nine.

However, Hao Jianguo couldn't help but feel a little amused and exasperated. This little frog was too impatient. It gave a hasty warning and then jumped away without even explaining what dangers it might encounter.

He frowned slightly. Since the little frog had given him a warning, the trouble this time was probably not small, and it might even cause a major upheaval.

The person behind this must be brought to justice.

However, Hao Jianguo was not flustered. With his current cultivation level, although he was still at the mortal level, his perception was exceptionally sharp.

By paying close attention to the surroundings, one should be able to detect any signs of trouble in advance.

If anyone dares to cause trouble in his home, he will make them suffer terribly.

……

Late at night.

The Jia family finally began to take action.

Around two or three in the morning, Jia Zhangshi hurriedly returned from outside, clutching a bulging snakeskin bag in her hand—containing the poisonous snakes they had prepared.

At this time, the night was deep and quiet, and everyone in the house was fast asleep. Jia Zhangshi thought that her movements were so subtle that no one would notice.

After carefully placing the venomous snake in its proper place, she immediately slipped back into her house.

Upon seeing her son, Jia Dongxu, a smug smile involuntarily appeared on her face.

"Don't worry, the stuff has already been put in. Hao Jianguo and his gang definitely won't be able to escape this time."

Jia Zhangshi and Jia Dongxu kept this secret from their children—fearing they might leak it out.

As for Qin Huairu, the mother and son are keeping it a secret from her as well.

Since the divorce and the incident with Sha Zhu, they no longer trust their daughter-in-law, fearing that she might betray them and expose all their misdeeds.

"That's good."

Jia Dongxu sat by the window, lowered his voice and sneered, "Those old deaf women, Sha Zhu, and Yi Zhonghai were all too naive."

If we succeed this time, we can get back all the humiliation we've suffered.

He pressed himself against the window crack, staring intently in the direction of Hao Jianguo's country, eager to witness the scene of Hao Jianguo's misfortune as soon as possible.

But no matter how long they waited, the room remained quiet and there was no unusual movement.

The longer Jia Dongxu waited, the more suspicious he became, and his heart began to pound.

Little did he know that Hao Jianguo had already sensed Jia Zhangshi's approach to the Hao family.

Hao Jianguo could even see the venomous snake crawling in through the window crack.

The moment Hao Jianguo realized it was a venomous snake, his expression darkened. He finally understood why the little frog had come to warn them. If it had been brought into the house during the day, and Yu Li was home alone, she would have been terrified to see a venomous snake, and the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Even in the dead of night, if they were completely unaware and had never practiced cultivation, once this poisonous creature sneaked into their bed, the three of them would likely be in grave danger.

He never expected that the Jia family would be so vicious this time, capable of doing such a heinous thing.

A surge of anger welled up in Hao Jianguo's heart.

"Jia Zhangshi, Jia Dongxu, you two are really something."

"Since you're so eager to play, I'll make sure you never dare to even entertain such a thought again in your entire lives."

With this thought in mind, Hao Jianguo immediately unleashed the [Top-Tier Poison Control Technique].

The venomous snake, which had just slithered in and hadn't yet committed its evil act, suddenly stiffened and turned to Hao Jianguo in a daze.

At this moment, Hao Jianguo clearly felt that with just a thought, the snake would obey his command.

"Go to the Jia family."

With a slight thought, the venomous snake obediently changed direction and silently slithered out of the Hao family's house. Under Hao Jianguo's invisible guidance, it quickly darted towards the Jia family's location.

……

Inside the Jia family's house.

"No, Mom,"

Unable to contain himself, Jia Dongxu lowered his voice and asked, "Is the snake you released really okay? Why haven't we heard anything about it yet?"

Madam Jia frowned involuntarily and said in a low voice, "Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case. That thing is extremely poisonous. Once it enters the Hao family's house, they definitely won't be able to escape it."

Let's wait a bit longer; maybe the snake hasn't caught wind of Hao Jianguo and the others yet.

She explained in a low voice, but Jia Dongxu spat out a curse—in his opinion, Hao Jianguo was incredibly lucky to be still safe and sound.

However, after hearing his mother's words, Jia Dongxu's previously anxious heart finally settled down.

As long as the snake is alright, what's a little longer? Even if he doesn't sleep all night, he wants to see Hao Jianguo suffer a terrible fate with his own eyes.

He had even pictured the scene in his mind: he would definitely saunter up to Hao Jianguo and say every sarcastic thing he could think of.

The mother and son were so engrossed in their daydreams that neither of them noticed that the venomous snake that Jia Zhangshi had released earlier had quietly slithered into the house and was heading towards Jia Dongxu.

By the time Jia Dongxu realized something was wrong, it was already too late.

"ah--!"

A piercing scream suddenly rang out, startling Jia Zhangshi so much that she trembled all over.

She was about to speak when she was horrified to see the venomous snake appear right in front of her son.

Before she could react, the snake darted in and slithered straight into Jia Dongxu's trouser leg.

Jia Dongxu had already lost feeling in his legs, but just seeing this scene made him feel cold all over.

What terrified him even more was that he could clearly feel the snake crawling towards his crotch.

"No...don't come any closer! Mom, help me! Ah—!"

Another scream erupted, but the venomous snake was already aimed at his groin and bit down hard.

The excruciating pain felt like a sharp blade ripping into his heart. Jia Dongxu screamed and struggled desperately. He lost his balance and fell off the wheelchair, his entire body pinned to the ground by the heavy chair.

Jia Zhangshi was already dumbfounded, frozen in place and unable to move.

"Dongxu, what's wrong?"

Qin Huairu was awakened by the noise. She put on her coat and came out of the inner room, only to see Jia Dongxu lying on the ground groaning in pain, while her mother-in-law just stared blankly at him.

A wave of disgust washed over her – there really wasn’t a single normal person in the Jia family; the son was yelling nonsense in the middle of the night, and his mother wouldn’t even lend a hand to help him up.

Qin Huairu secretly regretted what sins she had committed in her past life to marry into such a family.

But Jia Dongxu is still her husband after all. If she doesn't take care of things, her mother-in-law will inevitably find another excuse to cause trouble.

"Qin Huairu! Come quick... There's a snake in my crotch, and it bit me... It hurts so much!"

Qin Huairu was about to step forward to help him up when she heard these words and paused, her gaze unconsciously sweeping towards his crotch.

At that glance, she gasped – the crotch was bulging horribly, clearly harboring something.

Qin Huairu abruptly withdrew her outstretched hand, staggering back several steps, her face drained of color.

She was also afraid of snakes, so how could she dare to go forward at this moment?

The room fell into an impasse.

Jia Dongxu's wails grew more and more agonizing, while Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi stood stiffly on either side, their faces pale, making the scene all the more ironic.

Jia Dongxu finally understood that he could not rely on anyone at this moment.

He steeled himself, gritted his teeth, and grabbed the snake's tail tip, trying to pull it out from between his legs.

But as soon as he exerted force, a tearing pain shot straight to the top of his head, and tears almost burst out.

The snake seemed to have its eye on this piece of flesh, and no matter how much he pulled or tugged, it held on tightly and refused to let go.

Jia Dongxu dared not force it again—if he used too much force and really tore his manhood off, his life would be completely over.

"Quick... quick, call for help! Go find someone to save me!"

Jia Dongxu let out a mournful wail.

Whether it was the poison starting to spread or not, he suddenly saw stars flying before his eyes, and a dizzying sensation swept over him.

Immediately afterwards, he closed his eyes and completely lost consciousness.

Qin Huairu rushed out of the house in a panic and shouted for help in the courtyard.

The residents of the courtyard were awakened by the commotion, and they couldn't help but feel a little annoyed that their peaceful dreams had been disturbed.

Upon hearing what Qin Huairu said, everyone immediately became tense and rushed to the Jia family with her.

Upon seeing the horrifying bulge in Jia Dongxu's crotch, Yi Zhonghai and the others' faces darkened.

"Uncle Yi, please think of a way to save Dongxu! If this drags on any longer, someone might really die!"
