Su Muyao gazed at the door in front of her, painted with the ancient Nine-headed Heavenly Snake, feeling as though the serpent was right before her.
So lifelike, it seemed to come alive right in front of her.
Upon closer inspection, she felt as though it was moving, almost like an illusion.
Others might feel fear or even repulsion, but not Su Muyao.
To her, there was a sense of familiarity, a kind of closeness emanating from her very bones.
She paused, then asked, "Master Witch, are you sure you want me to open this door?"
"I'm seeing this scene from across time and space. Can I touch this door?"
Su Muyao felt that the Master Witch greatly esteemed her.
But she trusted the Master Witch; he would never harm her.
Nor would he deceive her.
