An Yao reluctantly placed the basin filled with water on the bedside table before turning her attention to the injured half-human, half-serpent creature on the bed. She gently cradled his wounded tail section and dampened a clean, snowy white cloth with water and meticulously cleaned his wounds.
Her movements were delicate, as if she feared causing him any additional pain. Gu Di’er watched this all unfold, and a warmth began to spread throughout his entire being. His wounds were speckled with sand and dirt, requiring thorough cleaning, prompting An Yao to change the water in the basin multiple times.
"Is there anywhere else needs to be cleaned?" She inquired earnestly.
Gu Di’er lay on the bed, deep in thought, seemingly hesitant. Under her persistent prodding, he finally transformed into his full serpent form. A colossal black mamba measuring over ten meters in length; his presence seemed almost capable of crushing the bed beneath him.
