The Hook Snake, hidden in the shadows, heard its master calling out something and materialized into a human form.
He moved to the side of the bed, humbly kneeling on one knee, leaning in to listen to his master's whispers.
"Ah...soft…soft…"
Changyuan's blood-red eyes revealed confusion. Who was Ah Soft?
Suddenly, Xia Yunchen opened his eyes.
Bright light burst from his eyes, a dangerous and blood-thirsty glare flashing from the cold depths.
Seeing Xia Yunchen awake, Changyuan paused slightly.
Remembering that his master was afraid of snakes, he quickly retreated from his master's sight, preparing to transform back into his hidden form.
The light in Xia Yunchen's eyes hadn't fully focused yet. He squinted, observing the long-haired man kneeling by his bed.
His voice, uncertain, rose: "Changyuan?"
His tone was hoarse, filled with desolation and heaviness.
Changyuan's eyes widened, and the red of his irises deepened. "Master?!"
