Nighttime, the moonlight was bright.
Su Jie slid out from her residence in the underground palace, raising her head to look at the bright moon in the sky.
Inside her heart, there was a different kind of thought.
This thought came after she met that woman.
The woman's strength was formidable. Although her own strength wasn't weak, if she were to face her, she knew very well that she didn't stand a chance.
Su Jie sighed softly. The reason she demanded the territory within thirty miles was not truly for possession, but to protect her brother, whom she and he were born from the same mother. However, she was a snake person whom everyone hated. But her brother was a normal human because she aggressively absorbed her mother's lifeforce in the womb. Consequently, her brother was born malnourished, only with a faint breath.
If it weren't for her being a snake person, her brother wouldn't be like this.
