The tone of the human-snake Bai Lian was like that of an emperor who held the winning ticket. He told Wu Tong about this matter simply to share his own creation with her. To him, a peerless work would be such a pity if no one appreciated it, and Wu Tong's role at the moment was precisely that of an appreciator.
Pride, malevolence, greed.
These traits all manifested in the human-snake Bai Lian simultaneously.
Wu Tong knew that she was once again walking a tightrope between life and death. The saying "Those who survive great disasters will enjoy great fortune afterward" did not apply to her. Instead, "Misfortunes never come singly" seemed more fitting.
