"Her jade is able to drive away snakes and ferocious beasts. I'm afraid that this jade is also artificially synthesized. Perhaps the composition inside contains some medicinal ingredients that allow it to have such an effect on those snakes."
As soon as Jenson said this, Grand Old Master Yorks slapped his thigh as if he had just woken up from a dream, saying, "Oh, right! Jens’ words reminded me of something else. She gave me a couple of massages that cured my indigestion when I was younger. Back then, I was quite sallow and skinny, but after she massaged me all over, I started to gain a bigger appetite."
Jay scrupulously said, "What about the Beast God?
