After the Iron Plate disappeared, all the Spiritual Silks became listless, especially Old Five who was overexerted by Ji You. Among the group of plump and robust 'giant pythons', it was particularly delicate, looking like an underdeveloped bean sprout.
Watching this scene, Ji You inexplicably felt guilty.
"Ahem..." Ji You cleared her throat and said, "I'm granting Old Five a leave of absence for a while. If anyone dares to bully it during this time and I catch them, they'll bear the consequences themselves."
Old Five wagged its tail and circled around Ji You, clearly very happy.
The other Strands also wagged their tails to show they understood.
Ji You was somewhat skeptical, particularly scrutinizing Fourth and Boss for a while. She found that Boss was laying around lazily like a dead silk, while Fourth was more spirited but kept turning its head around restlessly, with no clue as to what mischief it might be planning.
"Humph~"
Ji You huffed heavily.
