"But?" Mo Qiang questioned with a frown on her face. What did Sun Shi mean by that she had given up on letting them take care of this monster? Was she going to continue with that pointless hunt of her until either she died or the snake?
"But I think it's too selfish of me to let you two young women take care of that snake," Sun Shi answered. When she came up with the plan of sending Mo Xifeng and Mo Qiang to the end of the dimension, Sun Shi only wanted to teach Mo Qiang a lesson. She couldn't do much for her niece who refused to even meet her because of her surname that she shared with that mer.
If not for the fact that the Suns resembled the royal heritage of the Ke Jin dimension, Sun Shi would have changed her surname for her niece.
However, now that she had seen the close relationship between Mo Qiang and Mo Xifeng, she changed her mind.
"While we were fighting with the Ruby Head Snake, we were not aware of what was going on when it hid inside its cave," Sun Shi sighed. The weariness on her face escalated to another level as she relayed what happened in the past few weeks when they were travelling, "The Ruby Head Snake seemed to have gotten stronger.

Her words caused the soldiers and the servants to look at one another, they seemed a bit confused and offended as Sun Shi had never asked them to leave. They were trusted soldiers and servants who were trained to not betray their masters.
"Ah?" Sun Shi was quite surprised by Mo Qiang's request. She opened her lips and then said to her, "Niece Qiang, they are all my trusted people. You can tell me what you want to say, there is no need to hold back."
"Aunt please," it was Mo Xifeng who bowed her head and spoke, she knew what Mo Qiang was trying to do and she did not want her aunt to blow this opportunity. Even though she was not close with her aunt, Sun Shi was her only family in this world after Mo's family. She couldn't watch her die on the battlefield foolishly.
