Chapter 82
Annabel Raven
08:00,Jan 01,1970
“I will always find you no matter where you are! There’s no escape, Alizandra.” I turned her to face me and the terror stamped on her beautiful face made me weep inside. She looked at me just like the devil I was, and that didn’t sit well with my heart, but I got so angry at that moment and so confused. Anger, pain, grief, fear, and God knew what else assaulted me at that moment. I didn’t think of anything else, but to teach her a lesson for being disobedient, for abandoning me. So I showed her the monster I was. I didn’t hide from her. I knew my eyes were glowing, and I exposed my fangs. “What are you?” she said in a whisper, then her eyes changed, and what I saw in those lavenders took me by surprise. There was compassion for a troubled soul like mine, even though she feared me. But those lavenders didn’t lie. She always had the power to see my darkened soul. The world around me ceased to exist when her fingertips roamed over my face like she was seeing the real me, like a veil had lifted from her eyes after all those endless years. I leaned on her hand, feeling the warmth of her palm, but I didn’t take my eyes from hers, not even for a second. I had to see the emotions playing on her face. “Why so lonely and tormented eyes? Who are you?” “I’m the devil who loved you for centuries.”

Rumor has it that Young Master Sheng has a hot temper and ruthless methods. The elders attempted to transform him through marriage, hoping that he would become more docile after taking a wife. When he first met Chimene Yu, Gervasio Sheng gave her three rules: not to follow him, not to publicly disclose their relationship, and not to interfere with his private matters. Later on, whenever introducing someone, Gervasio Sheng would say, "Chimene Yu, my wife." And then, someone witnessed the powerful Gervasio Sheng being scolded by Chimene Yu, pounding the table, saying, "Gervasio Sheng, if you still stay by my side, I'll hit you!"

Salome

My name is Kaiyo An. On the day of the 'Green Dragon's Marriage,' my great-grandfather killed a green and a white snake. The villagers said it was a horned snake transforming into a snake immortal.
On the night I was born, my grandfather kneeled at the snake temple all night. It was only after that my mother gave birth to me, but grandfather died at the snake temple.
Since I was young, a snake would appear in my dreams, telling me that I was his bride.
One day, my cousins suddenly encountered trouble. When we returned to the village, the jade pendant was lost, but he appeared...
