Watching Zhong Baiye hit himself and threaten himself, Kokomi finally let out a laugh.
Only then did Kokomi fully accept the Snake God's legacy. She now knew that Zhong Baiye had done all that to help her, but she still felt embarrassed whenever she thought back to what had happened.

"The Snake God's legacy told me that the Abyss Order helped resurrect him. In return, he had to bare his venomous fangs when the lightning dimmed."
