Yan Jiao looked at the cherry blossom trees that were spread out in front of her. While she marveled at the beauty of the scenery, she was also a little confused.

“Why is your Snake Palace full of cherry blossom trees? ” Yan Jiao looked at Xiao Cui and asked in confusion.

“Miss, that’s because the King likes cherry blossom trees. At least half of these cherry blossom trees were personally planted by him.” Xiao Cui looked at Yan Jiao with a smile.

Yan Jiao’s expression contorted as she wondered how a man as proud as him had personally planted a large patch of white and pink cherry blossom trees. “Your Snake King is quite cute.”

Cute?

Xiao cui looked at Yan Jiao and felt that she was very special. She had never seen anyone use the word ‘cute’ to describe the King.

Although the king was the object of admiration for many people in the palace, the most common words they used to describe the King in private were vicious and terrifying.

“Oh right, the King also likes women who wear white.”

That man was actually a fan of the color white. Did he have to make people so speechless? However, why was there no one in white among the few people she had seen?

Yan Jiao’s eyes swept back and forth between the four of them after she heard the story. Her thoughts were clear at a glance.

“Miss, are you wondering why no one in the Snake Palace is wearing white clothes? In fact, there was a maidservant who deliberately wore sexy white clothes to seduce the King when she was serving him.” As if she could see the doubt in Yan Jiao’s heart, Xiao Cui started explaining.

“The king did not punish her at that time. Later, the king asked her to wear her best clothes to attend a celebration and pierced her heart with a sword. Finally, the lowest of the scavengers ate her alive while she was still conscious. So from then on, no one dared to do it again.” At this point, Xiao Cui’s body trembled and her face turned pale.

Sure enough, people who could sit firmly on the throne were mostly the same kind of people. They were fickle in their emotions and ruthless.

From this point of view, whether it was humans or other living creatures, they were all the same.

‘I should treasure my life more. After all, I haven’t lived long enough and haven’t returned home yet. Even if I have to die, I’ll die at home,’ Yan Jiao thought to herself after listening to Xiao Cui.

Just as Yan Jiao was still lost in her thoughts, the beauty called Sister Yu suddenly said in a cold voice, “Xiao Cui, do you want to die? Why did you tell an outsider something that will damage the King’s image and reputation?”

The word ‘outsider’ was emphasized. Even if Yan Jiao was a fool, she could tell that Sister Yu hated her.

When Yan Jiao was running back and forth in fear, she had been sneering and looking at Yan Jiao with a mocking gaze.

At that time, she consoled herself that the other party had never seen such behavior from a human before. In addition, her behavior was really ridiculous, which was why the other party laughed like that.

Now, however, it seemed that Sister Yu simply hated her.

Xiao Cui had implied that most of the women in the snake palace liked their King, and Yan Jiao was personally carried back by the King. It was understandable for them to hate her.

After all, she, a human, had tarnished the Supreme King in their hearts.

Yan Jiao could understand their feelings, but it did not mean that she was willing to tolerate their childish behavior of taking out their anger on her.

However, on second thought, she was just an ordinary human and did not have powerful magic like those monsters. If she could stay safe, that was more than good enough.

In any case, the other party was just mocking her and did not make any personal attacks. For the sake of her life, it was better to pretend that she did not hear anything and just think of it as Sister Yu throwing a tantrum.

Thanks to Yu Yan in the archaeology team who always mocked her when they worked together, she was almost immune to other people’s mockery.

Yan Jiao ignored Sister Yu and turned to Xiao Cui, “Haven’t we reached the dining hall yet? How much longer do we have to walk?”

Xiao Cui looked at Yan Jiao and then at Sister Yu, who was flustered and exasperated after being ignored. She did not know whether to answer Yan Jiao or comfort Sister Yu first.

However, after a moment of contemplation, she decided to pay attention to Yan Jiao first. “The dining hall is not far ahead. We’ll be there soon.”

Sister Yu was irritated by both their disregard.
