"That place has now become a battlefield, West Mountain is gone, and Xijiang River too, just a scorched earth."

Wang Wu didn't know how to comfort this snake demon, whose time is near, yet loyal to the end. Although it never served any purpose all its life, precisely for this reason, he felt regret.

"Really? That's truly a pity. I almost forgot the scenes over there. Sometimes I dream about it, but it's never clear..." She Shoujiu murmured to itself, its status somewhat strange, perhaps having completely ended its lifelong mission, it felt at a loss?

Looking at it, Wang Wu actually wanted to ask whether there were other Snake Guards in Shaman Village. Moreover, he wanted to know what methods the Ancient Bear King used to make these snake demons so loyal.

Or perhaps, She Shoujiu's experience and intelligence over the past sixteen hundred years were valuable wealth, but he really found it difficult to speak up.

Call him pedantic if you will, he just felt that such a lifelong lurking Snake Guard should receive a bit of respect and some care.

Even if it seemed useless.

Wang Wu was silent, and so was She Shoujiu, for a long time, it gently hummed a very peculiar tune with a unique rhythm, although accompanied by some snake sounds, it was unexpectedly pleasant.

In the dark chamber, the candlelight flickered, and Wang Wu thought of She Dada and She Er Gou in their home in the big pit. Did they also have four children, and before sleep did they sing the same Snake Race ballad?

Just like the mischievous little White Snake hearing it in its mother's embrace one thousand seven or eight hundred years ago?

For a while, Wang Wu began to miss that original valley.

Green grass, bright flowers, dense bushes, tall trees, dazzling sunlight and sultry afternoons, the same hot wind rustling the leaves, the days once filled with anxiety now seemed quite pleasant...

"Master, please forgive me, it was my disrespect. Also, please withdraw your order. As a Snake Guard, from birth to death, I belong to the master!"

At this moment, She Shoujiu, for unknown reasons, seemed to regain its strength,

"Moreover, the Snake Guard Mark is passed down through bloodline, Master, although your heart is kind, you cannot change anything. Every year countless snakes are born, approximately every hundred thousand snakes, there will be a Snake Spirit born; the spiritual nature of our Snake Race is inherently strong, and the Snake Spirit is several times stronger."

"The Snake Spirit does not have significant advantages in cultivation or practice, but its intuition is extremely strong, its sensory ability even defies the heavens."

Speaking to this point, She Shoujiu looked up with beautiful eyes fixed on Wang Wu, resembling a burning flame,

"To be honest with you, I sensed your emotions completely clear just now, so this is the reason generation after generation of Ancient Bear Kings trained and cultivated Snake Spirits. Indeed, in the Great Wilderness, almost all Ancient Blood Demon Races will cultivate Snake Guards, you think the plight of Snake Guards is pitiful, but unfortunately, you cannot change anything."

"I heard a parable from the Human Race called the Farmer and the Snake, what difference is there between your current mindset and that of the farmer?"

"Furthermore, I have heard that all beings and races in the world are competing, either you die or I live, do you expect your mercy will make me more loyal to you?"

"Wrong! Once the Snake Guard Mark is lifted, I will only think of ways to strengthen my Snake Race, use all intelligence and information I possess to cultivate more Snake Spirits, to infiltrate other races in return..."

Stopping at this point, She Shoujiu's gaze seamlessly transformed from passionate tenderness into resentment tinged with sadness, then into innocent purity, naive cuteness, subsequently into proud mature sisterhood, icy coldness, pure desire, clean and skilled, sophisticated and open-minded...

In a short time, it demonstrated dozens of complex and delicate emotions.

Only then did it kneel again before Wang Wu.

"Master, the Demon Race of the Great Wilderness, every demon has its unique talent, surely you are aware of the famous eagle's gaze and wolf's vision, but in terms of spiritual nature, only the Fox Spirit of the Fox Race can compare to the Snake Spirit. We are born as the most clever disguisers, we are the rulers most adept at capturing emotional changes."

"Therefore, Master, please put away your benevolence, it is the sharp blade that kills you! This world is just that cruel! You will never know what happens in those dark, unseen, untouchable shadows?"

"Just like earlier, concerning everything I said to you, can you distinguish which sentence of mine is true, and which is false?"

At this moment, Wang Wu listened in shock, his hairs stood on end!

Yet She Shoujiu laughed instead, "Master, this is the first lesson I teach you as a Snake Guard. Do you really think our Snake Guards infiltrate the Human Race Cultivators to serve as furnaces for supplementing, as tools for lust? The Human Race has its scum, but actually, most Human Race Cultivators are rather clean-living and self-disciplined; what they need is a resonance from emotions, and our Snake Spirits or Fox Spirits precisely fulfill that need."

"By the same logic, Master, think about it, we can even deceive the Human Race Cultivators, so why can't we deceive you demons whose sensitivity is not as intricate as humans?"

"Isn't there the possibility that our Snake Race is controlling you, controlling this Great Wilderness, directing the self-slaughter among Human Race and Demon Race alike for our own benefit?"
