"Bet that within a year—no, within a month," the White Snake said, fearing that Huihang might refuse, and quickly amended the time. "Within a month, if no one comes to save us, we will swear an oath by our demon pearls and primal spirits. We will not only serve as the Bodhisattva's dharma protectors, but we are also willing to be your slaves, for life after life!"
This offer was incredibly tempting. Staying as a protector and being a slave were two very different things. And since they would be swearing by their demon pearls and primal spirits, there was no fear of them going back on their word.
Ding Xiang had initially wanted to interject and stop them; she could never let the White Snake and the Turtle become slaves to humans just to save her. But upon second thought, if she could get back, she would only need to find Li Muchen, and he would naturally be able to rescue them.
