Chapter 358: Trait Blooming (3)
-Sii? 『This must be growth, right? It has to be, right?』
"I think so too."
-Siia. 『Will it end tonight? Or will I be able to wake up tomorrow too? It would be amazing if I could wake up tomorrow! No—every night! If I could wake up every night, it would be incredible!』
'Was Cheongyu Sojeo always this excitable?'
Cheongyu Sojeo was extremely hyped.
Before she woke from the Five Venoms Sect’s brainwashing, she had been mysterious, dangerous, and quiet. Even after awakening, though she brightened up, she still had a calm, gentle atmosphere. But now she was practically bursting with energy and excitement.
She spoke rapidly without even giving me a chance to answer.
-Siaa, Sii, Sia. 『I never imagined growth would be like this! I thought it would be like, my poison getting stronger, or my body hardening, or maybe flying around—but to be able to appear even when it's not a full moon! Now I could even get closer to Hwa-eun Sojeo...』
Cheongyu Sojeo kept talking happily, but honestly, I felt a bit disappointed.
It would have been nice if her body had toughened up, or if she had gained the ability to fly, or if her poison had grown stronger.
Especially the poison—since that’s a venomous creature’s foundation—if that had strengthened, it would’ve been perfect.
So, yes, I was a little let down.
