Yue Yue was terrified, curled tightly into a small white ball inside the dark cloth bag.
Suddenly, she felt the bag shift violently. Before she could react, it was shaken once again, and she dropped hard onto the stone floor!
Thud!
"Ow!" Yue Yue whimpered softly. She felt like she had bumped directly into the hardest stone imaginable.
Blinding light suddenly flooded her senses. She slowly opened her eyes and found herself face-to-face with the smiling mug of an unfamiliar man.
He poked his thick, chubby finger almost directly at her tiny nose, turning to look at the old man who had kidnapped her.
"This is the little snake you were talking about?" the chubby man asked, tilting his head.
The old man who had stolen her nodded with a smirk. "Of course. She will work."
Another old man nearby stroked his thin beard, his eyes filled with doubt. "Are you really sure? What is so special about her? Aside from looking pretty, she looks quite useless."
