Fabre in Sacheon’s Tang

Cheongyu’s body began to take on a faintly translucent hue, then immediately turned slightly murky and opaque.

That was a sign that her molting skin was starting to loosen.

—Rustle.

Then came a rustling sound, and a gap appeared as the skin around her lips peeled away.

A golden light suddenly spread, brightening the surroundings.

When Cheongyu’s horns emitted that golden light, everything around her was bathed in gold.

“Th-This is...”

“Gold...”

The manifestation of that constellation had been amazing, but this was something else entirely—one of the Ten Great Venomous Beasts, the Golden-Crowned Snake King.

The whole place lit up like the inside of a flashy Gangnam club.

Snakes that don’t have hands usually rub their mouths against rocks or branches to peel off their skin.

But Cheongyu was a spiritual beast with hands.
