"How could he have demonized...?"
Yi Yue froze, instinctively looking toward Gu Yin. "What do we do now? We were hoping to find out who was behind this through him. Now the trail has gone cold again."
Gu Yin said nothing. Instead, he transformed into his beast form and sank his fangs into the mermaid's neck.
The mermaid named Ker's body deflated in an instant, like a punctured balloon.
The other mermaids were all frozen in terror by the sudden, horrifying scene. They subconsciously touched their own fragile necks, as if imagining themselves in the Snake Beast's jaws.
Watching this clean and efficient kill, An Jin felt a bizarre and inexplicable sense of relief.
'After all these years, I'd started to think I had raised Gu Yin to be a docile pet snake—the kind that would burrow into my blankets at the slightest excuse.'
'Looks like I was overthinking things. His cruelty hasn't diminished one bit.'
The enormous black-and-red python swallowed the ruined mermaid's body whole.
