Inside the spacious carriage, a small spell was sketching a strangely sensual scene.
Amid the swirling mist appeared a silver-haired, green-eyed beauty dressed in black, a few scales surfacing on his body. He held the beauty in his arms firmly captive, his possessive Snake Pupils staring straight at him as his lips curved into a smile of certain victory.
"You smiled so happily at that foreigner. You looked like you liked him very much. I'm jealous."
He had come first, so why were Xie Huizhou's eyes always on other people?
He wanted so badly for Xie Huizhou's gaze to linger on him.
The beauty in his arms was as cool as snow. Beneath the light of the luminous pearl on the carriage ceiling, his whole body seemed to give off a faint, clear glow, his white skin tinged with pale pink. Held helplessly in his grip, he resembled a white crane being strangled by a giant snake. The more he struggled, the tighter the giant snake coiled around him. Their starkly contrasting skin tones intertwined like a battle between trapped beasts.
The sight was intensely striking, charged with intimacy amid the utmost danger.
The mung bean cakes in Xie Huizhou's hand fell to one side.
Xie Huizhou immediately grew anxious. Ah, the mung bean cakes I was going to give the Imperial Preceptor! If they break, they won't be fit to give as a gift.
The Imperial Preceptor was a good man; the snake demon was a bad demon.
Perhaps because he had been staying at the National Preceptor's Residence lately, this snake demon whose true face he could never see had not pestered him for some time. He had almost forgotten he existed.
He had not expected the elusive snake demon to pester him again after all this time.
