Su Qinglan held the tiny snake cub against her cheek, her heart overflowing with love.
The little one was so small, but its energy was vibrant. Xuan Long watched them, his emerald eyes soft with an affection so deep it made the surrounding air feel warm.
"He just hatched today," Xuan Long whispered, his voice still a bit shaky from the beating. "As soon as he broke the shell, I brought him straight to you."
He explained that snake eggs usually take about two weeks to incubate.
However, two weeks had already passed in Su Qinglan's domain. So he had been so desperate for the cub to meet Su Qinglan that he had traveled to a much lower domain, a place where time moved differently.
In that realm, two weeks had passed, allowing the cub to hatch and gain strength, while in the Fox Tribe's domain, only two days had gone by.
