Moreover, it only takes a few hundred years for the Dragon Ball to regain its spiritual power. At that time, she will take back the Dragon Ball and release Chu Yuwei, and then they will be even.

When Chu Hanyan was sealing Chu Yuwei, she was stopped by A Shao, which was both unexpected and reasonable.

Chu Hanyan hadn't expected that A Shao was already on par with her. Perhaps it was because of the dragon energy, or perhaps it was because of the six lightning tribulations. Chu Hanyan didn't know.

In the end, it was Mingyu who appeared and sealed Chu Yuwei away. Chu Hanyan thought that A Shao probably hated her to death now.

And that was indeed the case. Ah Shao spent three hundred years preparing, all for the purpose of having her replace Chu Yuwei, who was suffering in the stone bridge.

Chu Hanyan was well aware of A Shao's plan, but she did not resist because she knew she was about to die. The hundred lashes of the snake bone whip had severely injured her, and the power of the Soul-Locking Knot could no longer save her life. Chu Hanyan knew that this was Ming Yu's punishment for her.

Chu Hanyan could no longer distinguish what her feelings for A Shao were. If it was love at first, then now it was probably resentment and heartache. After all, love is such a fragile thing that it cannot withstand so much hurt.

After all, liking someone is something that comes from the heart, and her heart was already riddled with holes and bleeding profusely.

"What's your name? You haven't told me your name yet!"

Chu Hanyan's memories were interrupted by the little snake's persistent questions.

"I?"

Chu Hanyan asked in return. Her name was Chu Hanyan, but she didn't like it anymore. That name carried too much unbearable suffering and helplessness.

The little snake nodded, seemingly eager to know the answer to the question.

"My name is Yan Gui."

Chu Hanyan thought for a moment and said, "Hanyan has let go and returned to her original heart. Now she is Yan Gui."

"That's truly the most beautiful name I've ever heard."

The little snake praised it.

Chu Hanyan smiled, surprised that this little snake was so sweet-talking.

What other names have you heard of?

Chu Hanyan suddenly thought of something and asked.

“I’ve heard two names before. One is the name you gave me, Little Snake, and the other is your name, Yan Gui.”

The little snake said without the slightest bit of guilt.

Yan Gui was genuinely amused now. It turned out he only knew two names; no wonder he was so certain.

When Chu Hanyan chatted with the little snake, she discovered that the little snake really didn't know anything. According to him, he was disliked by his family at birth and they wanted to kill him to avoid bringing shame to the family. He overheard their conversation and quickly escaped, eventually ending up in this river.

Chu Hanyan looked at the little snake's cultivation level and thought it must be at least a hundred years old, but judging from its experience, it didn't seem like it had been a hundred years at all. It really seemed like it had just been born. However, the little snake didn't know how to calculate its age and couldn't say exactly how old it was.

Chu Hanyan had nothing to do, so she taught the little snake some magic or told him stories to broaden his horizons.

Chu Hanyan felt that this little snake could be considered her friend. She could never leave the stone bridge in her life, but the little snake could not stay here forever. She wanted it to become stronger so that it would face less danger when it went out into the world in the future.

Time flies, and a century has passed in the blink of an eye. The little snake's feelings for Chu Hanyan have become more and more obvious, and her eyes are full of love for her. It is hard for Chu Hanyan not to notice. However, having learned from Ah Shao's experience, she deliberately avoids the question every time.
