Xuan Long had just returned home from the Upper Domain. Armed with the Beast Queen's royal teleportation scroll, he had been in a spectacularly good mood.
But the moment he crossed the threshold into his house, he froze solid.
The room was a complete, unrecognizable mess. The thick, neatly laid rugs had been violently flipped over.

Xuan Long blinked in utter confusion, his solid, silent demeanor cracking for a fraction of a second.
"What happened?"
Before anyone could shout out an answer, Xuan Long suddenly felt a powerful, familiar pull deep within his own bloodline. His heart skipped a beat. He slowly, carefully lowered his head.
The moment his emerald eyes landed on the tiny white snake safely curled around his boot... his entire body froze. His jaw slackened, and his eyes widened in absolute, stunning disbelief.
