"What did you say you want to do?"
The Little Snake King raised its head from its coiled body, looking down from above at Su Shu under the peach blossom tree.
Su Shu said, "Come down."
Without caring whether it listened or not, she turned and sat down on a stone bench nearby, resting her arms on the tabletop.
The Little Snake King slithered down and then crawled onto the table, its gaze leveling with Su Shu's.
"I want to leave the city."
"Huh? Didn't you say your place was under siege? Why do you want to go out, tired of living?"
"To find someone."
"Who?"
"Shen Han."
"Is that your ex-boyfriend?"
"Mhm."
The Little Snake King, lacking interest, laid down, "If you want to leave, just leave." Anyway, it was in the space; she could go wherever she wanted, and it couldn't stop her.
Su Shu said, "I need your help."
"Help with what?" Its mana was gone, and as for the king, helpless and weak, eh ╮(╯_╰)╭
