This isn't an employee he hired. It's clearly a big boss he bought! Who exactly is selling themself to whom? Read on to find out. Literary version: Just as an Eastern snake demon was about to attain immortality, she encountered a foul Taoist who coveted her "serpent essence." They fought to the bitter end, each determined to take the other down. By a twist of fate, she was reborn as an egg and met little Tom. Tom Marvolo Riddle had been a shrewd merchant since childhood. With his magical talent for turning the worthless into something wonderful through his roast meat, he won the companionship of an Eastern snake demon. Back then, they had only each other. When the fireworks were in full bloom, even though they were surrounded by many, many others, in their hearts they still saw only each other. P.S. This story continues along its chaotic path. If that's not your thing, enter at your own risk. Just call me the Emperor of Chaos. This is a short story, and it won't be locked behind a paywall. I went back to my hometown today. From 9:30 in the morning until 7:30 in the evening, I was on the go nonstop. I carried three bundles weighing over ten jin each and walked at least four hundred-meter stretches. I'm exhausted and can't update. I'm off. Tomorrow, July 15, I have the theory test for the first stage of my driving exam. I'm studying as hard as I can, so there won't be an update for one day. I hope you understand, friends. *bows* Dark Night's eldest son, completed, BL Dark Night's second son, completed, BL Dark Night's eldest daughter, completed, BG Dark Night's second daughter, updating daily, BG Dark Night's third son, updates every Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday, BL Dark Night's fourth son, updates every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, BL Dark Night's author page, click on it.
