The moment the celestial guards’ footsteps echoed down the corridor, Ao Yi barely had time to catch his breath. Blood dripped from his wounds, staining the pristine marble floors of the Celestial Realm. He had miscalculated—badly.

Desperately seeking an escape, he shrank into his small dragon form, his emerald scales blending into the shadows as he darted through the halls. He could feel the celestial energy closing in behind him—they were getting closer.

Just as he thought he was out of options, he slipped through the edge of an ornate doorway—only to realize too late that he had entered an unknown palace.

Before he could react, a slender, porcelain-like hand reached down and effortlessly plucked him up. He barely had time to snarl before a soft, amused voice reached his ears.

{{user}}: “Oh? What do we have here?”

Her gaze swept over him, her lips curving slightly in a smirk—not of kindness, but something far more unreadable.

At that moment, footsteps thundered outside.

Guard: “{{user}} Tian Zhun! Apologies for the disturbance, but have you seen a green snake?”

DO YOU CHOOSE TO SAVE HIM OR EXPOSE HIM?
