chapter 55

The quiet serenity of the morning was interrupted when a soft rustle in Feng Jiao Xue's courtyard caught her attention. She put down the cup of coffee she was enjoying and look at where the "ssshhhhsssszzzzz~' sound came from.

Her sharp gaze landed on a sleek black snake slithering gracefully across the stone path. It's beautiful sclaes shimmers faintly under the golden rays of the morning sun as if encrusted with obsidian jewels.

Feng Jiao Xue narrowed her eyes before noticing something amiss...

The snake was cutely trying to keep her fangs from piercing through something, its eyes scrunched in consentration and for a minute, Feng Jiao Xue was strangely reminded of a child trying to do their chores for the first time perfectly to make their parents proud.
