Chapter 94

“Please give me your wrist.”

Moa said while looking at Rin, who was sitting across from her.

The unfinished business was none other than completely healing Baeksa.

‘Phew, so busy, so busy.’

Too many things had happened today.

Sasamyeong’s memories.

Somi’s awakening.

Even Danhwi oppa’s crisis.

But promises had to be kept.

When Rin extended her wrist, Baeksa smoothly emerged from her wrist and moved onto Moa’s palm.

-Hiss.

“Hello. Today might actually be the end.”

She had a good feeling.

Moa reached out her hand to Baeksa.

With a little concentration, she could see inside Baeksa’s body transparently.

‘It’s gotten much better!’

At first, it felt like holding slippery, cold ice, but now the inside of Baeksa’s body was lukewarm, even if not hot.

Moa closed her eyes.

And to definitely receive help, she took out a medical blanket to cover Baeksa, then drew out her divine power thinly and let it flow over Baeksa’s body.

-Hissss…!

Baeksa shook her tail like a rattlesnake.

As the warm divine power finally settled into the always-cold snake’s body, warmth could be felt.

When she poured out divine power that was refined even more thinly than other days and for longer, thick beads of sweat formed on Moa’s forehead.

“Ugh…”

A small groan flowed out between Moa’s clenched teeth.

Then Rin clenched her fists tightly.

‘Hang in there, Moa. Please help Baeksa!’

And after a moment.

-Hisss!

Baeksa popped out from under the blanket.

The white scales of Baeksa that emerged were patchy.

“Huh, huh?”

She should definitely be healthier and more perfect, but seeing the patchy scales, Moa’s mouth fell open.

‘The treatment definitely finished, though?!’

Because Samyeongrok was definitely flashing in one corner of Moa’s vision, the treatment had safely ended and the mission was clearly completed.

-Hiss.

Seeing the surprised Moa, Baeksa casually flicked her tongue and vigorously shook her body.

Then the whitish scales that had risen fell to the floor with a rustle, and soon new scales that shone clearly and brilliantly sprouted.

“This! I know this!”

Moa pointed at Baeksa and shouted.

She had definitely seen it in a picture book with lizards.

That word had appeared in a scene where snakes and lizards were bathing together and shedding their skin.

“Shed… shed, shed shed!”

Moa, who couldn’t properly remember “shedding,” tilted her head and shouted loudly.

“You mean molting? So spirits molt too… This is the first time I’ve seen Baeksa molt.”

Rin murmured with emotion while looking at Baeksa’s white scales that sparkled like diamonds.

“Could it be… Baeksa is completely healed?”

“Yes! Baeksa is warm now! Are you cold right now, unnie?”

Wasn’t it synchronized with the owner?

When Moa asked worriedly, Rin shook her head.

“No… it’s really warm. How…”

Rin extended her hand to Baeksa.

As if it were a lie that they had been so cold they might freeze together, she could feel warmth.

It was no longer like a dim candlelight. It was heat that truly felt like body temperature.

“Baeksa… I’m really relieved. Moa, I really don’t know how to thank you…”

Rin hugged Baeksa and choked up.

When the small snake coiled up in Rin’s embrace, the warm sensation seemed to wrap around her body comfortably.

Rin choking up, and Baeksa narrowing her eyes happily.

Watching that scene, Moa smiled brightly.

‘That’s great!’

Moa, who smiled along as if happiness was contagious, took a moment to check Samyeongrok.

-Main Mission: Treat Baeksa’s cold-blood disease (Success)

·Reward: Obtained ‘Baeksa’s Scale’, ‘Emperor’s Snake’s Loyalty’

Somehow feeling like she should complete it while Baeksa was right in front of her, she quickly received the reward…

Flutter!

A scale from Baeksa’s tail dropped onto Moa’s palm with a plop.

Baeksa had directly plucked it out herself.

The transparently shining scale, slightly larger than a pinky nail, was truly like a jewel.

‘She plucked it out directly for me?!’

Moa, who was startled, opened her mouth, then tilted her head and examined the scale from various angles.

‘The Goseol’s tears played some good role. Could Baeksa’s scale be the same?’

While looking into the sharply shining cross-section and imagining something like ‘Actually, this is a hero’s sword!’, Somi spoke to Moa.

[Oh! This must be something important!]

Somi, who checked Baeksa’s scale with information visible in the Guardian Spirit’s vision, shouted in confusion.

[Baeksa’s Scale, surgical material with the property of emitting heat… it says!]

‘Surgical… material?!’

Moa, who was startled, instantly turned her head back and forth.

So that Moa could concentrate on treatment, her family had evacuated to another room in the Guest Hall.

Because of that, only Moa, Baeksa, and Rin were in the room now, so there was no one else in sight to worry about.

‘I guess it can fix some spirit…’

Since it was a material that produced heat, it might be able to help other spirits suffering from cold-blood disease.

Thinking that way, Moa tilted her head at a thought that flashed by.

‘But… I can just use my power by going “heeyah!” and that’s it…?’

When healing Baeksa too, she had healed without any materials, and it wouldn’t revert, so there was no reason for such materials to appear.

While tilting her head at the puzzle, something flashed through Moa’s mind.

“Snake grandma!”

“Huh? Why Sasamyeong-nim all of a sudden?”

Rin, who knew that the snake grandma Moa was talking about meant Sasamyeong, stopped being happy and asked.

Instead of answering, Moa jumped up from her seat.

“I have to go see snake grandma!”

Sasamyeong was currently basking in the sun in one corner of the Garden of the Sa Yeom Family.

It was because she had an inherently cold constitution.

“Oh my, Moa, Moa!”

Even though Rin was calling and chasing after her, Moa ran pattering to put on her shoes and rushed toward the Garden.

Even the family members who heard the commotion joined at some point, and the group became a long procession.

If Moa had noticed, she might have shouted “String of sausages!”

“뱀 할머니이이이—!”

Moa burst into the Garden Entrance, calling Sasamyeong with her jingling voice.

Hearing Moa’s voice, Sasamyeong slowly opened her eyes that had been leisurely closed.

Next to Sasamyeong stood the maids of Saryeom House who had broken free from brainwashing and regained proper self-awareness.

They were currently wiping Sasamyeong’s scales with clean silk towels.

[What’s wrong, little child?]

Sasamyeong slowly turned her head to look at Moa and asked.

“Are you very cold too, Snake Grandmother?”

Everyone surrounding Moa quietly closed their mouths.

They hadn’t expected such a question to come up.

Sasamyeong was also silent for a moment.

It was a question no one had ever asked before.

Not once in thousands of years of living.

[…Yes.]

Sasamyeong slowly answered.

[I’m a snake, after all. I’ve been cold since birth. Basking in sunlight helps a little, but that’s only temporary.]

When night came, she would become cold again, and when winter arrived, she couldn’t move and would enter the ancestral shrine.

[That’s because I’m a snake. It’s natural.]

Sasamyeong’s voice was calm.

It was as natural as the weather. A snake’s inability to regulate body temperature was the law of nature.

Then Moa fidgeted with Baeksa’s scale in her hand.

“Then, if Snake Grandmother could become warm, would you want to?”

At Moa’s question, Sasamyeong’s massive body stiffened for a moment.

She had never thought about going against the laws of nature.

[I could become warm?]

At Sasamyeong’s question, Moa nodded.

“I haven’t tried it, but maybe it’s possible…”

Moa trailed off somewhat uncertainly.

While Baeksa and Rin hugged and rejoiced, a quiet doubt was rising in Moa’s heart.

Right now, only Rin and Baeksa had escaped from the cold blood disease.

But there were many more members of the Saryeom House clan.

What would happen to their cold blood disease?

‘How cold must it be… Snake Grandmother said she pitied bad Sister Rin’s father.’

The Saryeom House clan members except for Rin were still suffering from cold blood disease.

Among them was the younger brother that Rin had tried to protect.

Should Moa use her power to somehow cure them too?

Even if she went through such tremendous effort to cure them, what about the babies born afterward?

‘They said the disease came from following Snake Grandmother’s constitution…’

Moa’s thinking was simple.

If it was a disease caused by a snake’s constitution, wouldn’t everyone be affected if Sasamyeong’s constitution changed?

[It seems worth trying.]

Somi, who read Moa’s thoughts, also agreed from inside the bracelet.

Moa’s eyes became determined as she gained confidence.

“No, I want to make Sasamyeong warm. I’ll make it happen.”

Moa said with sparkling eyes.

“Then maybe everyone can become warm together!”

As if supporting Moa’s thoughts.

Ding!

Samyeongrok responded.
