Toad oil candlelight illuminated the hall.
The various gems embedded in the head of the Ancestor Toad Statue actively directed reflections of the candlelight, casting the image of a "toad-shaped woman" in the center of the hall.
1. A spotted toad crouched on the woman's head, breathing out a cold, poisonous gas with every breath.
2. Her damp, curled hair fell in front of her face, covering more than 90% of it, revealing only a vague outline of a melon-seeded face with a hint of allure.
3. Her graceful body was wrapped in a light, translucent silk dress that fluttered and shimmered with the candlelight.
4. Her lower body was immersed in the water of the pond (the pond and its ripples were also formed through the reflection of gems).
A voice imitating human speech came from all around the Toad Palace, "Human knights who have come from afar, I salute your courage in journeying to the Toad Palace.
