These two!

One singing and the other harmonizing, they were like a duo performing a comic dialogue.

I naturally did not wish to see the conflict between the villagers at the foot of the mountain and the Snake Sect intensify, so I nodded considerately, "No pressure, no pressure! Lead the way, I will go and talk to the disciples of Liu Xianzhi."

I had been worried that the great masters of the Snake Sect would not approve of me or my being together with Yu Longting.

But to my surprise, everyone was very respectful and treated me as the true Lady of the Snake Lord.

How could I let them down?

So as not to frighten the Possession Immortal Disciple with my appearance, I specifically requested a White Gauze to cover my face.

Shenshen transformed into a bracelet and stayed by my side.

In the dim temple hall, the ancient wooden doors with hollowed-out carvings were tightly shut.

Liu Xianzhi and Chang Hao bent over to open the door for me, "Madam, please, we will wait outside for you. Given the current tension between the Snake Sect and the people, it's inconvenient for us to appear."

"Yes, alright." I stepped over the threshold and walked inside.

The room was extremely spacious, at least five or six hundred square meters.

At the very top there was an especially large chair covered in pure white snake skin.

Below the steps, a young man dressed in a cyan-blue robe was waiting.

Upon hearing activity, the young man turned his head, "You... you are the Lady of the Snake Lord? A human?"

"Yes, my name is Su Wan, just call me by my name." I held my waist, the problem of not being able to stand for long flared up again.

Too lazy to climb up high, I sat in the chair covered with white snake skin.

I casually found a chair opposite the young man and sat down, "You may sit, too."

Having heard he was one of the most reputable disciples from the Possession Immortal, I had imagined someone from a supernatural fantasy, perhaps an old lady with orange-peel skin; surprisingly, it was a young man with a fair complexion.

The young man seemed somewhat unaccustomed, pursed his lips, and sat down opposite me.

After a little while, he introduced himself with a slightly strained tone, "My name is Qiu Yuchuan. I am a disciple under Liu Xianzhi from the Possession Immortal. Are you . . . really human? Did the Snake Lord truly marry a human for a wife?"

"A genuine human," I replied confidently, my gaze sincere as I looked into Qiu Yuchuan's eyes.

Qiu Yuchuan and I looked at each other, seeming to believe me mostly because both of us were humans, he diminished his guard against me with a slight sense of lamentation, "Who would have thought the Snake Lord could disregard the racial bitterness. Madam must have heard about the situation down the mountain. The cause of the Snake Scales disease is unknown, and many people are affected. Many disciples of Horse Immortal have treated it, but the disease recurs, and upon recurrence, it intensifies."

"Because the growths are snake scales, everyone suspects, did the Snake Immortal do this? Even you, as a disciple of the Snake Immortal, harbour doubts?"

After I heard him, I slowly frowned and said in a low voice, "If you did not doubt, you wouldn't have come here to negotiate with the Snake Sect. In your mind, the blame has already been placed on the Snake Sect."

Qiu Yuchuan's eyes became guarded, "I came to negotiate, still hoping that there's room to maneuver. Once everyone starts desecrating the Snake Immortal Temple and the Empress Temple, disrespecting the gods, that's when things truly get out of hand. Our suspicions are not without basis, not just because of the snake scales, but also, some pregnant women... gave birth to clusters of little snakes, and some people's... tongues forked, turning into snake tongues, unable to speak anymore."

"What?" I stood up abruptly, looking into Qiu Yuchuan's suspicious eyes, he was probably half-doubtful.

Half thinking I was putting on an act, and half trusting in his loyalty to the Horse Immortal, he did not immediately blame everything on the Snake Sect.

Having understood this, I slowly sat down, "Everything has a cause, procedure, and result. Is there a possibility that we could directly verify that the source causing the illness is not the Snake Sect, but the Earth Veins contaminated by evil spirits?"
