"A human body and a snake's tail?" Lu Mingfei's heart stirred. Almost instinctively, two figures surfaced in his mind: the majestic, massive Second Generation Dragon Naga on the river, and the Wa Master from the Orthodox, with her uniquely mysterious aura.
He blurted out, "A human body and a snake's tail means a Dead Servant? But that Wa Master from the Orthodox has a human body and a snake's tail too—I thought she seemed perfectly normal? And her status seems pretty high. She's the leader of the Orthodox, right?"
"Shh!" Finn's expression changed. He abruptly raised a finger to his lips in an exaggerated gesture for silence. He even nervously looked around, as though ears were hidden behind the walls of this ordinary room.
"My dear junior brother, keep your voice down! Don't compare the Orthodox's big boss to a Dead Servant on Chinese soil!"
He leaned close to Lu Mingfei, lowering his voice to a near whisper with a warning undertone. "They call that the Wa Empress Bloodline inheritance! It's connected to the ancient mythological ancestor who molded humans from clay and repaired the heavens with stones. It's sacred! It's one of the foundational symbols of the Zhou Family! If anyone from the Orthodox hears you say that, believe me, someone will immediately come have a little chat with you. A beating would be the least of it!"
Lu Mingfei nodded, though he still did not seem to fully understand. "Then... what exactly is so special about her?"
Finn scratched his messy hair, trying to explain in plainer terms. "That Wa Master is different. Although the concentration of Dragon Blood in her body may be terrifyingly high, her dragon side and her human side aren't tearing each other apart. Instead... well, they are infinitely close to merging into one.
