"Sangsang, your child… was… eaten…" As a mother, my heart ached dully.

So was it because of this that Sangsang lost her child... And the child was a girl no less!

They had only taken half of Little Dumpling's soul as a stuntman and even made Little Dumpling wear a dress.

Sangsang laughed for a good while, "Yes! To be born as a Medicinal Snake means to be eaten; to them, my child is no different from Ginseng or Lycium chinense... But to a mother, to me, that was my life!"

"Was it because of this that you rose up in rebellion and killed the Meishan Mountain Sorcerer?" My emotions were being fiercely tugged at, yet, what played in my mind was the image of Sangsang biting my maternal grandfather.

Be it through guessing the years or through the time when the high monk suppressed Sangsang,

it was evident that it was no longer the era of the Republic of China, and that Meishan Mountain Sorcerer had long been killed by Sangsang, yet Sangsang still tried to drain my grandfather's Spiritual Power with Demonic Qi.

Somehow, I felt an inseparable bond with Sangsang, and only by seeking the truth could I find the connection between me and Sangsang.

Find the reason why Sangsang and I looked and sounded exactly alike.

As I was deeply pondering, I suddenly sensed a trace of Demonic Qi approaching.

Just in time, I grabbed Sangsang's wrist; she was holding a dagger transformed from Demonic Qi that looked like a corpse, stabbing towards my stomach.

Although it was somewhat unexpected that the Snake Lady would make a move while telling such a sorrowful story,

I had already prepared for the possibility of a sneak attack, and with a slight shift of the force in my hand, I took advantage of the fact that Sangsang's power was greatly reduced by the restrictions.

I deflected the dagger away from my abdomen and toward the side of my body.

I raised my leg and kicked Sangsang away.

To prevent the sharp blade of Demonic Qi from infecting my skin and arms with Demonic Qi.

Sangsang's body was bound, almost all of her power sealed, and she was violently smashed against the wall by this kick.

Yu Longting reacted immediately, tightening the Binding Rope on Sangsang's body and using his towering figure to shield me, his voice taut with tension, "Are you okay? Are you hurt?"

"I'm fine, I was prepared, knowing she could lash out suddenly." I reached out wanting to touch his stiff, cold face, his concern truly stirring pity and affection.

Perhaps he was being a bit too paranoid; Sangsang had been utterly countered by me, leaving her no power to retaliate, yet he was still terrified that I might get hurt.

Yu Longting's fingers tightened, and as the Binding Rope contracted,

it squeezed Sangsang's slender neck, causing her to scream in excruciating pain.

Bloodied and trembling, she crawled on the long corridor, "Kill me then, Snake Lord! If you dare, kill me, and your Lady's Blood-weeping Syndrome… will never be cured!!"

Veins bulged on Yu Longting's forehead, his eyes were terrifyingly deep, and his whole body emitted a frightening aura of murderous intent, striking fiercely at Sangsang.

But Sangsang remained uncaring, continuously sneering.

"Why would you attack me, if I died, Yu Longting wouldn't let you off, and you only targeted my stomach. You had Little Dumpling for so long and didn't harm him, why now… do you do this?" I squeezed Yu Longting's stiff wrist, silently calming his rage.

This Sangsang, she was deliberately provoking Yu Longting.

But I couldn't understand at all; we had her completely under control, and her actions brought her no benefits whatsoever.

Sangsang spat a mouthful of bloody saliva onto the ground and slowly lifted her head, "Why, why do you get to be the noble Lady of the Snake Lord, while I am so lowly, merely a Medicinal Snake possessed by demons? Your son… lively and bouncing with health, while my daughter... heh... I am from the Snake Tribe... I've had this face favored by the Snake Lord for three hundred years before you, yet the Snake Lord never cast a second glance my way, what right do you have!! What right!!"
