"I need more emotions!"
Shui Chi murmured to himself.
Saying this, he tilted his head slightly, his gaze shifting abruptly as he looked up at the sky. Unbidden, memories of facing Indra's descent in the Serpent Realm resurfaced, stirring a deep wariness in his heart.
This feeling!
Trembling fear and fury, with a trace of hatred mingled in between.
The feeling was so peculiar, as if he had borne enmity toward Indra in a past life, causing his heart to race faster and faster.
He liked this feeling—the feeling of being alive!
Hiss!!!
Shui Chi narrowed his eyes slightly, taking a long, deep breath. His gaze seemed to pierce through the layers of void, reaching toward the infinite heights of the Heavenly Realm.
"Indra!"
Indra! Indra! Indra!
Shui Chi murmured, again and again.
...
Within the Serpent Realm.
Indra narrowed his eyes slightly as an inexplicable tension suddenly gripped his heart. A distinct sensation of being watched surged within him.
"Who!"
