Monster, A Black Snake

Lan Xiue's home was relatively close to Zhao Ying's and was situated just one alley away. Both her parents were craftsmen and the family lived together under one roof. Because of this, the elders weren't too fond of Lin Jin's unannounced visit.

After all, it was too late at night.

They knew of their daughter's dream as well but they felt that she was over-reacting. It was just a dream. Who wouldn't get nightmares? How could they take it seriously?

"Sigh, our child is young and ignorant, why do you guys have to play along with her?" Lan Xiu'e's father said the moment he opened the door.

Being a shy girl, Lan Xiu'e's head lowered even more as she pinched the corners of her upper robe as if she had done something wrong. Zhao Ying was annoyed but said nothing. Instead, she began comforting Lan Xiu'e as if she was her elder sister.

Lin Jin smiled and said, "This won't take long."
