Xuan Yuanxiao was completely bewildered. How could she suddenly have a mother? But the woman looked at her with such kindness that she couldn't bring herself to refuse.
"Xiaoxiao, I'm so glad to see you. How have you been?" Snake Shadow said, squatting down and looking at Xuan Yuanxiao at eye level, her hand unconsciously touching her cheek. "Why aren't you saying anything? Your mother has missed you so much."
"I don't know what to say." It took Xuan Yuanxiao a while to utter a sentence. This kind of care was strange. The eyes of a beautiful woman don't lie; she really liked her. "If you don't know what to say, then don't say anything. Xiao Xiao, let Mommy hug you." The more Snake Shadow looked at Xiao Xiao, the more she liked her. Xiao Xiao's appearance was indeed first-rate. She was about to reach out to hug Xuan Yuanxiao when Xuan Yuanxiao subconsciously stepped back, grabbed Long Yu's robe, and avoided his gaze.
Seeing this, Long Yu also felt a bit uneasy, after all, she had suffered a lot before. "Lord Shadow, Xiaoxiao was injured and is probably quite scared. She was locked in the arena to fight against monsters before, and only recently regained her appearance." In just a few words, Snake Shadow's expression changed drastically, instantly becoming ruthless. "Who is it? Who dares to treat my daughter like this?" Long Yu hurriedly added, "It was a Dragon Clan arena leader. He has already been skinned alive and his body has been turned into weapons."
He had barely finished speaking when a small figure ran over from the side. "Yes, Father, I've already skinned that old beast to death. How dare he bully Mother!"
Xuanyuan Ying's appearance immediately puzzled She Ying, and even Ye Linghua found it strange that this child had the bloodline of the Si Snake clan.
I hadn't really noticed it before, but now it's becoming more and more obvious. Could it really be Xiaoxiao's child? When were they born?
Snake Shadow was overjoyed. Her expression suddenly changed, and her aura suddenly rose. She had seen this child in the reflection stone she had left behind.
"Mother, Ying'er has come to see you. Did you miss Ying'er?" Xuan Yuan Ying ran over and was about to throw herself into Xuan Yuan Xiao's arms when Long Yu grabbed her by the back of her clothes and lifted her up. "Ying'er, don't cling to your mother like this. Go back to your cultivation." Long Yu didn't want Ye Ling Hua to know about Xuan Yuan Ying's situation, so she gave him a few meaningful glances. The clever Xuan Yuan Ying immediately understood. "Then I'll go back." Xuan Yuan Ying reluctantly jumped off Long Yu, glanced at Xuan Yuan Xiao a few times, and went back pitifully.
"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Night King. How about I discuss cooperating to break the third seal?" Long Yu changed the subject. Snake Shadow looked at Xuan Yuanxiao expectantly, so Long Yu led everyone into the house and they sat down to continue their discussion. During this time, Snake Shadow kept asking questions at a table in the corner, and Xiao Xiao obediently answered them, recounting her experiences over the years. Snake Shadow listened with tears in her eyes, and finally took out a set of soft armor from her body. "Xiao Xiao, you are quite weak now and easily bullied. This set of soft armor is made from the skin that your mother shed. Even spiritual power below the upper level of the Divine Realm cannot harm you. You can wear it from now on."
The snakeskin was a transparent, soft gauze garment with a faint white sheen; it was quite beautiful. Xuan Yuanxiao was somewhat apprehensive about such a valuable item. "This is far too precious," she said. The snake shadow grabbed her hand. "You are my daughter; it's only right that you take these things. You have a seal on you; once it's broken, you'll be an adult. However, your body can't yet withstand this power. You'll have to work harder, after all, you are the only hope of the Si Snake Clan."
Snake Shadow looked at Xuan Yuanxiao, memories flooding back. Finally, he firmly placed the soft armor in her palm, explaining that there was a seal on her body; once broken, she would be an adult. These words brightened Xuan Yuanxiao's eyes. "Then can I stand beside the King?" she asked, her face flushing slightly, making her even more beautiful. Snake Shadow couldn't help but laugh at her expression, then patted Xuan Yuanxiao's head. "He...he'll have to rely on you in the future." Xuan Yuanxiao's face turned completely red, her resolve strengthening; she was determined to work her hardest to stand beside him.
Ye Linghua and Long Yu's discussion ended quickly. The third seal was not easy to break. There were even larger magical beasts guarding it, and there was even another domain space. Only by entering it could the fourth seal be broken, and then the seal on the dragon race could be broken. At that time, the human race would be fully capable of fighting against the upper realm.
After the discussion, Ye Linghua left with Snake Shadow to plan a way to break the seal. Xuan Yuanxiao followed Long Yu. After a while, the door closed, and Long Yu looked tired. He looked at Xiaoxiao and then smiled. "It's good that you're still by my side."
