This was Shu Yao's boyfriend, the man about to become her husband.
'How could this be!'
Shu Yao's boyfriend was filled with the aura of the Snake Race—it was incredibly powerful. Furthermore, his expression and words from the moment he walked in the door explained everything.
So her boyfriend was the Snake Spirit, which had caused Shu Yao to become pregnant with the Snake Embryo. He was also the Awakened Snake Tu Xiao'an had been looking for all along.
'When I think about it that way, everything suddenly makes sense. It's a perfect explanation for the Snake Embryo.'
However... Tu Xiao'an stared intently at the man with his Snake Gaze, unleashing his Formless Consciousness Power upon him.
"Hmm?"
The young man showed a flicker of surprise. Then, his eyes turned cold and impassive, yet held a hint of lofty contempt. He stomped his foot.
In that instant, the air itself seemed to shatter with a loud CRACK!
Tu Xiao'an's Consciousness Power instantly dissipated.
"Who are you?"
