Regret was too late, this phrase now describes the Nine-Headed Serpent's mood most fittingly.
When it said its home was in Jisai Country earlier, that was just the Nine-Headed Serpent blurting out nonsense. If the Tang Monk truly intended to send it home, upon arriving at Jisai Country, where would its home even be!?
"What to do? If I don't have a home by the time we arrive, won't I be exposed!?" The Nine-Headed Serpent, feeling almost forcibly dragged towards Jisai Country by Jiang Liu, was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
"No, I must devise a plan, get away from them, and then hurry back to have my father-in-law and wife leave the Green Wave Pool and find refuge elsewhere temporarily!" The Nine-Headed Serpent was worried not just for its own safety but also for the safety of the Green Wave Pool Dragon Palace.
