Silver Ring roared and opened her eyes angrily.

When it opened its eyes, before it could even see its surroundings clearly, it instinctively tried to wag its tail twice to express its morning grumpiness at being woken up.

But as soon as it started to flick its tail, Silver Ring immediately realized something was wrong.

...It's so heavy?

Why has my tail become so heavy that I can't even shake it?

Silver Ring's eyes worked faster than its brain. Before its mind could even process what was happening, its gaze had already fallen on its own "tail".

"Ah—" A scream, whether from surprise or joy, suddenly rang out. The sound had barely left her lips when a dark shadow enveloped her.

When Yin Huan woke up, Huo Fei noticed her before anyone else. In fact, Huo Fei had already slipped to her side the moment Yin Huan sat up.

However, Yin Huan had just woken up, her eyes were still sleepy, and her mind was still in a dream, so she was completely unaware of Huo Fei's approach.

When she was fully awake, all the demons in the living room had already surrounded her.

Huo Feijun's face was stern, but worry flashed in his eyes: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"

I finally awakened, I hope nothing else goes wrong.

Huo Fei had barely finished asking his question, and before he could even check the condition of the silver ring, he was pushed aside by Luo Mang and the green python.

Luo Mang asked with a pained expression, "Little sister, are you still in pain?"

The blue python asked respectfully, "Master, are you feeling unwell?"

Last night, Yin Huan's pained appearance was still vivid in their minds, so they couldn't help but worry.

This interruption finally allowed Yin Huan to see where she was. Not only that, she also saw her beloved older brother.

"Big brother, big brother, I've finally cultivated two legs! I'm so happy! Hahaha, I've finally become a human!"

Having regained human form and reunited with her elder brother, Yin Huan was overjoyed and danced with excitement, then happily threw herself into Luo Mang's arms.

Yin Huan was happy, but Huo Fei and Qing Mang, who heard the words, had mixed feelings.

Their expressions suddenly changed, and a look of surprise flashed across their eyes. Looking at Yin Huan, who was huddled in Luo Mang Huan like a puppy, their worry deepened.

No, something's not right.

Silver Ring (the owner) has awakened. According to the few records available, she should be aloof, reserved, and noble, and it is absolutely impossible for her to... activate this puppy mode.

Their hearts tightened as they both considered another possibility—a possibility neither of them wanted to see.

That is, perhaps, she... never awakened at all.

Thinking of this, their hearts sank.

"My little sister is naturally intelligent; it's only a matter of time before she cultivates into a human." Luo Mang caught the silver ring, feeling gratified.

The strange behavior of Yin Huan upon waking caused Huo Fei and Qing Mang to change their expressions drastically. Only Luo Mang remained unchanged, still regarding Yin Huan as the little sister who needed his careful protection.

Luo Mang was very happy, his eyes narrowed with laughter.

Back then, Yin Huan was fearless of death and stayed by his side through the tribulation. He was worried that she would lose the opportunity to cultivate into a human form because she had undergone the tribulation ahead of time. But now, his little sister has finally cultivated into a complete human form.

Yin Huan was excited and hugged her long-lost older brother tightly.

Seemingly having bumped into something, Yin Huan wrinkled her little nose: "Brother, you're bleeding! Which bastard hurt you?"

After saying that, Yin Huan looked up at Luo Mang's face. Upon seeing it, the brother-obsessed sister was immediately furious: "How dare you slap your face! Big brother, who did this? Tell me, and I'll bite him!"

When Luo Mang appeared, Yin Huan's true nature instantly reverted, becoming exactly the same arrogant person she was when she first entered prison. All the wisdom she had painstakingly cultivated during this time vanished completely.

"..." The green python, completely ignored by the silver ring, looked heartbroken.

At this moment, he had no time to care why Silver Ring remained the same after awakening. Silver Ring's harsh words had hurt him somewhat.

The blue python lowered its eyes, concealing the disappointment that welled up within them.

He shifted his body slightly away, the intimate scene between Yin Huan and Luo Mang filled him with bitterness.

He chuckled to himself, thinking to himself, "Shouldn't I have guessed this would have happened long ago?"

The Tengshe was the guardian she recognized, while he... was just a python with Tengshe's blood flowing through its veins, but who could never transform into a Tengshe.

Mentioning his injuries, Luo Mang's back suddenly stiffened, and he, with his silver ring around his neck, darted to the kitchen doorway.

Luo Mang put down the silver ring, pulled her behind him, and stared coldly at the green python that seemed to have lost its soul.

"Little sister, while I was away, did that person bully you?" Luo Mang tilted his head slightly and asked Yin Huan. At the same time, he shifted his feet and immediately went into a defensive stance.

"Who? You mean the Green Python?" Silver Ring was a little confused, but belatedly realized that something was wrong.

Silver Ring blinked twice, its little head struggling to peek out from behind Luo Mang.

"Oh dear, Green Python, how did you get injured too?" As soon as she finished speaking, Silver Ring's big eyes widened, and a troubled expression instantly appeared on her fair face.

Whew, oh dear, how could she forget? The Green Python and her elder brother weren't just brothers from the same family; they were also sworn enemies who fought their entire lives for the Teng Snake's legacy...

It's over, it's over.

What to do...

Her elder brother was very important to her, but the green python was also very important to her, and she didn't want the green python to be beaten to death by her elder brother.

...Okay, a brother is a brother, and Yin Huan never doubted Luo Mang's strength from beginning to end. In Yin Huan's eyes, her eldest brother was the most powerful, even more so than Huo Fei.

Author's Note: Dear readers, please feel free to continue reading; this story is not a tragedy.

Even if Silver Ring's strength increases, her personality will not change.
