A Spiritual Body's state is linked to its master. Ye Linyuan was still alive and well, so his Spiritual Body couldn't die.
But the way the black snake was lying on the ground, it looked for all the world like it had been gone for a while.
Just as Jiang Qingli was about to pull her hand back and leave to ask Ye Linyuan what was going on, the black snake's eyes suddenly shot open.
The tip of its tail curled around Jiang Qingli's finger. It hissed, flicking its tongue out to lick her cheek. Its vertical pupils narrowed slightly, as if it were smiling.
Spiritual Bodies couldn't speak, but as she touched the little snake, Jiang Qingli could clearly sense its triumphant mood.
It was the pride of a successful prank.
'So it wasn't dying just now. This little black snake was just teasing me.'
Once she realized, Jiang Qingli grabbed its tail and shook its body.
The little black snake wobbled back and forth, but it was still smiling.
