Outside Sani's restaurant.

Sani stroked the queen's head, looking intoxicated with delight. "Isn't this beautiful? We absolutely can't let those country bumpkins see her true face. This extraordinary bearing is simply overflowing with beauty!"

Anyone who had watched the anime knew that Sani was extremely particular about pursuing beauty. Of course, that beauty was entirely according to his personal standards.

Hearing this, Natalie felt a chill. "Um, Mr. Sani, we've already seen the queen's face very clearly. She won't eat us, will she?"

At that, Sani looked at them with a foolish grin. "How would I know about something like that?"

Natalie immediately shouted in exasperation, "You actually said you don't know? She's your partner! Besides, this concerns our lives and livelihoods!"

Sani said, "Ms. Natalie, if you become my partner, then she definitely won't eat you."

Leiyin said, "Mr. Sani, are you trying to steal my partner?"

"Hehe, I was only joking. Don't take it seriously." As he spoke, Sani leaped high into the air and landed on the queen's back. "Now, since we've decided, let's get going, you two."

Seeing him jump onto the snake's back, Leiyin and Natalie stood up.

"Don't worry. With our queen taking us, we'll get there very quickly. Come on up." Sani invited them aboard.

"Thank you so much." As he spoke, Leiyin picked Natalie up and jumped onto the snake's back as well.

The scales covering the queen's body were arranged in perfect rows, and each one was as tall as a person.

When they jumped aboard, one of the scales beneath their feet folded up, forming the shape of a chair.

"Wow! That's amazing! The scale can actually curl up. How thoughtful! The queen is really gentle." Natalie couldn't help praising her.

"You two, hold on tight." Sani reminded them before
