Chapter 371: Incident with the Purple Serpent Body

"Permanent freedom?" After hearing Shi Feng's words, Zi Ya also showed longing on her face, permanent freedom... Hadn't she once yearned for it so much herself? Ever since she became sensible, ever since she knew her own mission, looking at the children around her, she had envied them, thinking how wonderful it would be if she weren't burdened with this duty.

She'd also wondered why, of all people, she was the chosen one.

Following that thought, Zi Ya shook her head forcefully. "No, Brother Shi Feng, I beg you not to do this! I can't destroy the hope of our entire Snake-man Clan for my own sake. The return of the Eight Separation Snake God to the world, leading our Snake-man Race to the glory and splendor of the Ancient Period. This hope has been carried on for tens of thousands of years within our Snake-man Clan! I can't, for my selfish freedom, shatter the hope of my clan; doing so would fill me with guilt for a lifetime!"
