Sang Luo said goodbye to the steward and passed by the kitchens. Remembering how delicious the candied fruit from last time was, she went over and asked them to make another plate.
A rustling came from the flower bushes in front of the house.
After the last assassination attempt, Sang Luo was paranoid, thinking another Demon Beast had secretly snuck in. She almost launched an attack when a Little Black Snake, only as thick as her pinky finger, poked its head out of the bushes.
Sang Luo froze for a moment, then felt a mix of shock and delight. "Little Qi?"
'Isn't this the Little Black Snake she and Si Ye met at the morning market?'
Sang Luo hurried over and took a closer look to make sure she wasn't mistaken. "How did you sneak into the Marquis Mansion?"
