He You found a small, pitch-black snake by the Nan Ku River. It was badly wounded, its scales peeled back and blood flowing freely.
But its tail was wrapped tightly around her ankle.
He You took it back to her sect and did everything she could to treat it. She brought in every physician, pill, medicinal herb, and treasure she could find.
In return, she got a pair of golden eyes fixed on her, and a look that said it saw her as food.
He You couldn't make sense of it. Her unusual constitution often attracted all kinds of spirit beasts.
Why was this little black snake so unwilling to get close to her?
So she promised the sect leader that once its wounds healed, she would let it go.

But the little black snake's wounds just wouldn't heal.
Watching the black snake, wrapped in bandages, flirt shamelessly with her, He You frowned. She had heard that dragons and snakes were lustful. Could it be in heat?
So every few days, He You started bringing a few female snakes to keep it company. But whenever she came back, all she found was a steaming bowl of snake soup.
He You: ?
The black snake, as thick as her forearm, sprouted a pair of black dragon horns and spun its tail like a propeller.
He You suddenly understood. “You don't like snakes, huh? Should I find you a dragon next time?”
The next day, not a single female beast could be found on Sword Sect's mountain.
He You guessed the little black snake was responsible. Since its wounds had healed, she waited until it was asleep, then sent it away in the middle of the night.
After it left, she found a new snake while out on a training expedition. It looked just like the little black snake had when it was wounded.
Only this snake was even clingier.
But whenever she showed the little snake affection, a sheet of white paper would appear by her bed the next morning. The writer seemed furious. In bright red letters, it read:
Kiss that stinky snake again and I'll kill myself!!
He You: Is that supposed to scare me?
The next second, she casually tossed the paper aside.

Ever since Nan Xu had been framed and set up by his own kind, he had believed everyone in the Three Realms was a hypocrite.
His mother didn't love him, his father refused to acknowledge him, and his clan despised him.
In the end, he was picked up by the humans, rumored to be devious and treacherous. From that day on, he decided to disguise himself and lie in wait by her side, then climb over her corpse on his way back to Guixu.
In the end, he did return to exact his revenge. But all the immortals of the Tianyao Realm said the once-brilliant dragon clan prodigy had gone mad.
He was willing to live or die for one person. He either tried to hang himself from the Fusang Tree or pretended to be a snake drowning in the river.
One day, he even went berserk and stormed into the Yinshu Realm to ruin someone's match, throwing the Three Realms into chaos.
Clutching a marriage contract, he stood on the raging shore of Guixu. The contract bore the names of He You and someone else.
Nan Xu threatened, “Believe me, I'll jump in!”
He You: Can a dragon actually drown in water?
