The Aloof, Bad Snake Girl [GL]

After a blood-soaked talisman ritual makes an immortal break her vows, desire comes unbidden.

The vengeance she swore to take for the murder of her family gradually slips from her mind amid one feverish encounter after another.

Huazhou: "Of course. Feel how sharp this blade is? My heart is just as set on killing you."

Huazhou's eyes sparkle, their gaze brimming with delight. The knife in her hand has already been tossed far away.

"Let me touch it!"

"You promised, so no backing out!"
