Outside the window, dark clouds gathered densely.
The once magnificent distant mountains were shrouded in leaden clouds, pressing down oppressively.
I rubbed my slightly aching head, "I’m fine, you can change back into a bracelet."
"Okay, Young Madam~" Xiao Shenshen obediently transford into a withered vine, wrapping around my wrist.
I gently stroked the bracelet, shook off my daze, and got out of bed to find water to wash up.
When Yu Longting was around before, he always took care of ticulously.
He treated completely like a child, and now that he was suddenly taken away by Dragon Dad, I almost felt incapable of taking care of myself.
I found the small towel I usually used, but had no idea where Yu Longting had put the wash basin.
"Madam, you’re awake, I’ll fetch water to serve you... ah!!" A pretty snake attendant ca in with a basin, and upon seeing , was so startled she dropped the basin on the ground.
The steaming water spilled everywhere, soaking a part of her skirt. She scread, "Who are you? Why are you wearing our Madam’s clothes? What have you done to our Madam?"
"I am your Madam, Su..." I hadn’t finished explaining when the snake attendant rushed out.
In her panic, she instantly transford into a snake, speeding up as she moved, and shouted for help, "Soone, help! Madam has been kidnapped! Quickly notify Elder Chang Hao and Second Master Yu..."
Madam... has been kidnapped??
My face twitched unnaturally. I walked to the dressing mirror and looked at myself.
Seeing the exact sa face as before, I was also stunned.
Having gotten used to that ugly face, when returning to my original appearance,
Looking in the mirror again, it was as if I had crossed worlds and felt it wasn’t my own face.
I stared into the mirror, touched my cheek, feeling sowhat dazed, "I changed back."
Yesterday Dragon Dad touched my brow, and at that mont my appearance and bones started to change drastically.
The bone pain was originally excruciating, impossible to ignore.
Later, it was soothed by the Ginseng Flower, and no matter how dramatically the bones changed, I didn’t feel much.
I... just... forgot that the face would change back...
A large group of Snake Sect disciples hurriedly gathered in the courtyard, all wearing practice uniforms and holding training locust wood swords.
This was probably called over while they were midway through their morning practice.
At this mont, the group of snakes poked their heads and looked inside, their snake eyes widening, "Oh wow, she’s too beautiful."
"Skin like coagulated fat, face like a blooming red, shoulders like jade towers."
"The one who’s kidnapped Madam is such a great beauty, too bad Snake Lord is out, otherwise he might really have been tempted."
...
Just then, a rattlesnake slithered in, disdainfully sweeping its gaze over the chattering group of snakes, and said, "Can just anyone enter the Snake Sect? Are the cheongsam and fine clothing made by our Snake Lord’s true body for just anyone to wear?"
The words were spoken with authority, and the snakes agreed in support.
Even I thought it made sense, so had this clever rattlesnake recognized I was indeed their Lady of the Snake Lord?
"There’s only one truth: The Snake Lord has had a change of heart, abandoning his old wife for a superficial beauty," the rattlesnake proudly raised its head, eyes half-closed in disdain, "Beautiful but soulless, glamorous yet disloyal, aiming to seduce!!"
The other snakes, feeling indignant, started protesting, "Though Madam isn’t pretty, she’s virtuous and gentle, incredibly strong, and uniquely gifted! She and the Snake Lord together broke a fiercely dangerous feng shui formation, saving our entire Snake Sect."
"Exactly, not to ntion Madam is carrying the Snake Lord’s child, whereas even though this woman is also pregnant, can she attract soone like Yun Hao to join our Snake Sect?"
"Anyway, Madam has done a great favor for our Snake Sect, we can’t allow the Snake Lord to discard her so easily. This woman must leave the Snake Sect, let Madam return!"
"That’s right, let Madam return!! Mistresses should scram!!"
The snakes’ anger flared, excitedly telling to scram.
I pressed my brow, let out a long breath, "Though I’m touched by how you stand up for , but... I am Su Wan~ everyone~"
