Once he was around the corner, Wei Han let out a long, stressed sigh. He looked at a small, beautiful white-and-gold snake resting on a rock nearby.
He really didn't have the heart to just slaughter them. These were sacred beasts! If he killed them, it would be a huge waste of spiritual energy.
Then, a brilliant idea popped into his head. If he had to kill them, he might as well make sure their spiritual energy wasn't wasted.
He grabbed a junior servant by the collar.
"Listen up! The High Priest has ordered a... cleansing. Gather every snake in the Temple gardens immediately. Tell the kitchens to prepare a special banquet. Tonight, all the guests and servants will be eating snake soup and grilled snake skewers!"
The junior servant's eyes went wide. "A snake feast? But we're a temple! Aren't we supposed to be vegetarian-ish?"
"What nonsense are you saying? Our master made rules. If he said we are going to eat this, that means we are eating it." Wei Han snapped. "Go! Move!"
