Under the coils of the Venom Jade Serpent, Michelle stared in confusion at the mark her spirit energy created above her. Did it mean that the Venom Jade Serpent was Mare and something was affecting the contract?

Michelle thought that even if someone with a meaningful contract mark did exist in the lower realm, their contract mark wouldn't be so similar to hers.
