Afu Jiala had just finished dealing with the Desolation Plague Monster and was asking Ybur where to go for fun next when the space around them started to fluctuate slightly. Then, to Afu Jiala's amazement, the fluctuations became more intense, even forming a "vortex" visible to the naked eye, and a snake-like creature emerged from it.
Afu Jiala was startled, "A Phantom Snake? How can such a creature appear here?"
She then excitedly said, "It doesn't matter! Let's just kill it together!"
Just as she was about to take action, the snake cried out, "Wow! Don't kill me! I'm just here to deliver a message!"
—That was none other than the Serpent Maid Lailei.
Afu Jiala was a bit surprised, "You can speak human language?"
