"Here." Yu Longting handed me a charm and pulled me into the mountain. "The path is a bit difficult."
After receiving the charm, several towering peaks appeared before my eyes.
It seemed that those hidden peaks were the boundaries of the Snake Sect's territory. Newest update provıded by NovelHub(.)net
"Yu Longting, there are so many snakes here, it feels so intimate." On our way, snakes of all sorts were hanging around everywhere.
These snakes, upon encountering me and Yu Longting, would crawl out from their usual resting places.
They followed behind us, silent as a group of wordless followers.
Yu Rongling came closer and interjected, "Sister-in-law, shouldn't you be afraid of snakes?"
"Love me, love my dog," Yun Hao said in a deep voice.
Caught up in his imagination, Yu Rongling mused, "We're all snakes, our sister-in-law must love each and every one of us."
Upon hearing this, Yu Longting tightened his hold on my hand.
His snake-like eyes filled with possessive desire.
As we gradually stepped into the true range of the Snake Sect, my heart grew increasingly uneasy.
My mind was full of my grandfather's warnings; the people of the Snake Sect might likely reject and not accept me.
Not just because I'm of the Human Race, but more so because my father had once harmed Yu Longting.
Upon seeing me, they would probably be as hostile as Qing Li was, filled with enmity, right?
At that thought, my heart shrank.
But I found that the temperature of Yu Longting's palm was growing warmer, enveloping my cold hands with warmth.
My mood also stretched out, and I raised my head to smile at Yu Longting.
No matter how many people oppose, I won't waver in my affection for Yu Longting!
The Snake Sect had a total of Five Great Peaks, and Yu Longting led me directly into the main peak.
The white jade stone archway at the foot of the mountain itself was as majestic as the Southern Heaven's Gate.
Walking up the mountain, the sect's towering buildings stood tall amidst the hazy clouds, a sight of extreme grandeur.
I rubbed my eyes, feeling it all somewhat surreal.
Zhang Shuying's Gu Sect was already very imposing, but within the heavenly palace-like buildings of the Snake Sect Mountain, it seemed but ants beneath a giant.
"Snake Lord, Lady of the Snake Lord~ this old man has finally waited for your arrival." In the night, a thick yellow and black striped serpent rushed excitedly towards us.
He seemed to realize something, and in the blink of an eye, transformed into an old man with white hair, "Lady of the Snake Lord, you've contracted Blood-weeping Syndrome, haven't you? No worries, you will recover gradually with proper care in our sect."
This elder somehow gave me a feeling of warmth and familiarity.
The sense of familiarity I felt towards him might be an illusion.
But the affection and love in his eyes when he looked at me were not like that of strangers meeting for the first time.
If the story of my memory loss were true, then… had I visited Yu Longting's sect before?
Lost in thought, I had forgotten to respond to the elder's words.
Suddenly, Yu Rongling rushed towards the elder like a swallow returning to its nest.
After diving into the elder's arms, he wrapped his arms around the elder's neck and planted a firm kiss on his cheek, "Grandpa Sea Snake, have you been well? Did you miss me? Am I still as adorable as before?"
"Is this… Second Master? Haven't seen you for many years, have you grown taller??" the elder fondled the head of the persistently endearing Yu Rongling, "You're a fully grown snake now; still so clingy?"
"Is it bad that I am clingy? You must have been very lonely in the sect without me here, right, Grandpa Sea Snake?" Yu Rongling was exceptionally well-behaved and attentive in front of the elder, going behind him to rub his back.
The elder's mouth twitched, "Without you causing trouble in the sect, turning everything upside down, I indeed had a lot of peace."
My wrist's Shenshen hopped to the ground and also bounded towards the elder, "Grandpa Sea Snake, do you remember me?"
"You… you are from the Dragon Emperor's side…" The elder appeared thoughtful, and upon remembering, his face showed surprise.
