Chapter 775: Diva?
At that moment, Yun Xiao saw an array of emotions reflected in the girl's eyes—rage, shyness, confusion, and pain—all mingling together.
Yun Xiao himself wasn't as emotionally complex; his gaze was purely one of admiration for beauty, especially since he hadn't anticipated that a woman, seemingly frail in spirit, could be so stunning. None of the tens of thousands of spirited little celestial maidens outside could match her allure.
Of course, there was one aspect of her that Yun Xiao found slightly unsettling.
Instead of legs, she had a serpent's tail.
This tail, adorned with alternating pink and white scales, coiled gracefully upon a bed of ice crystals. Visually, the delicate blend of pink and white on the shimmering icy tail was strikingly beautiful. However, from a mortal's perspective, Yun Xiao found it hard to reconcile the image of a person with that of a serpent's tail.
He was certain she was human, not a demon nor a half-demon. Her serpent tail might have been linked to some unique lineage. Despite the serpentine features, her origins were unmistakably human.
Such a woman, with the body of a human and the tail of a serpent, was indeed a marvel in the path of immortality!
At that moment, she bit her lip, her eyes brimming with tears, appearing exquisitely vulnerable and moving. Even Yun Xiao felt a surge of compassion.
"Save... save me..." It was then she spoke, her voice as soft as a dream, perhaps the most melodious Yun Xiao had ever heard.
