The creature's head was quite flat, but when it fully emerged from the wound, everyone was stunned.
A flat head covered in small, glossy scales.
[Is... is that a snake?]
[I'm gonna puke...]
[Does it have to be this disgusting? I can't even.]
Su Nian saw her chance. As the snake's head fully emerged, its body following right behind, her hand moved with swift precision. With a flash of cold light, Su Nian sliced off the snake's head.
Eerily, the severed head fell to the floor and continued to flick its tongue.
She flicked a sheet of talisman paper, and the thing was essentially reduced to ash.
But the trickiest part was still the girl lying on the floor. She showed no signs of life, as if she were already completely dead.
Su Nian burned a sheet of talisman paper in a bowl. As the blackish-gray ash swirled, she added a little water.
Prying the girl's chin open, she fed the mixture to her.
