She wouldn't have known if she hadn't come to check; turns out Xiao Li was going to shed its skin today. No wonder it had no appetite.
Shed skinning is when a snake is at its weakest, it uses all its strength to break free from the constraint of its old skin.
Its snake body had returned to its former size, only its Mana had not fully recovered yet.
A snake sheds its skin three times a year, usually in spring, summer, and autumn.
However, Xiao Li did not hibernate, so the shedding that should have happened in spring actually came early.
This is the law of life for a snake demon, and Xiao Li was helpless against it.
It was extremely weak, looking at Bai Zhi'er with very tired eyes, even the flicking of its tongue had slowed down a great deal.
Bai Zhi'er rose on tiptoe and, heart aching, gently touched its forehead.
The two bulging dragon horns were hidden beneath the skin.
As long as it survived the Heavenly Tribulation, it could transform from a snake into a jiao.
