As the maid supported Bai Huaxiu on her way to the palace, she looked up and saw the King standing to the side with a gentle smile on his face and quickly knelt to give her respects.
However, the King had no time to attend to this little maid. He smiled at his daughter and said, "My daughter, is the python this evening an old acquaintance of your worthy husband?"
Upon hearing the news from the Prime Minister's residence, the King's first thought was of Bai Huaxiu's earlier words, guessing that this python demon must be a fallback left by his demon son-in-law.
Otherwise, why would it have attacked just after he had proposed the marriage to Bai Huaxiu?
This also made the King more curious about the power behind his daughter. If there were a few more demons like this one, and if used well, he could accomplish many things he had previously wanted to do but dared not.
