The giant snake had two horns on its head, exactly the same as the one Ning Xuan had first seen breaking through the clouds and mist.
This was the true form of Ying Yaoshi's Companion Spirit.
Sensing Ning Xuan's fear, the giant snake lowered its head in her direction.
Ning Xuan discovered she could sense the giant snake's emotions—a feeling of anticipation and joy. This realization put her at ease. When she finally entered the snake's range of movement, its twin-horned head glided over, dipped down, and nudged her up onto its crown.
The rest of the process went smoothly. Ning Xuan's spirit body formed a connection with Ying Yaoshi's Spiritual Sea.
The area within Ying Yaoshi's Spiritual Sea, which had been shrouded in mist, began to change.
The gray mist gradually thinned, and myriad points of silver light began to shine from the depths of the Spiritual Sea. Like a brilliant rain of light, they continuously dripped down, flowing into Win Snake's massive body.
