"Aren't you going to help me?" Alexia inquired with a smile.
Long Tian didn't respond verbally, but he approached her and gently said, "Give me your hand."
Without hesitation, Alexia extended her hand, which Long Tian promptly grasped, guiding her to place it on the serpent's head.
"Now close your eyes and focus. I'll assist you through the process," Long Tian instructed.
Following his guidance, Alexia shut her eyes and concentrated.
Initially, there was nothing but silence. Then, a comforting warmth enveloped her, sending pleasant shivers down her spine.
Peeking through half-closed eyelids, she noticed Long Tian's arms encircling her, emitting a subtle aura.
"You were supposed to keep your eyes closed, Mrs. Alexia," Long Tian gently reminded her.
