"Ms Liou... is there a problem with the ritual?"
Ms Liou was unsure whether to tell the truth, and just offered reassurance, "Second Miss doesn't need to worry, it will be over soon."
"Really? But... why is it taking so long..."
Ji Lingruo suddenly stiffened, as if struck by a strong force, which brought her out of her recent daze and brought about uncontrollable convulsions.
The blood in the Snake Blood Pool comes only from the Snake Ancestor, and today it welcomed the second 'Snake Ancestor', as the bright hot stream was cast by Ji Lingruo into the Snake Race's most sacred Snake Blood Pool.
Ji Lingruo looked at what she had done, her mind buzzing. A woman might usually seem dull, but in such matters, she has a keen sensitivity.
Ji Lingruo broke free from Ms Liou's hold, her almond eyes wide as she stared at the old woman:
"Is sister here?!"
Ms Liou unwittingly wiped her hand on her skirt, looking somewhat awkward as she spoke, "I believe she is."
