Shaoxin still could not help reproaching herself. Holding the Cloud-Breaking Fan, she sat on the stone steps at the entrance of the Fox Den so that as soon as Auntie returned, she could step forward and confess her guilt.
Shaoxin recalled the past. She had been a little Ba snake, never once seeing her parents from the moment she hatched from her egg. That year, a tiny Ba snake egg—whether abandoned or not, she did not know—had appeared at the foot of Mount Kunlun. Freshly hatched, she was extremely frail and lacked the protection of any clan. Relying on the dragon Qi of Kunlun Xu at the foot of the mountain to cultivate, she had labored diligently for tens of thousands of years before finally taking human form.
The Ba snake clan was a divine beast race with formidable combat power, yet because Shaoxin was young and had no one to guide her, her magic power was meager. Those monster races whose status was far inferior to the Ba snakes bullied Shaoxin precisely because, despite being a divine beast, she was exceptionally weak. They frequently beat and scolded her, seized her prey, drove her away, and squeezed her living space. At that time, Shaoxin could not even take human form yet.
