"Y-you, who are you?"
Hearing Old Man's words, Hu Yang revealed himself, startling Loli. She stared at Hu Yang with extreme vigilance.
Hu Yang did not attack directly. Instead, he looked at Loli with great interest.
"And who are you? Why did you trespass into This Seat's cave dwelling?" Hu Yang countered.
"Th-this is your cave dwelling?" Loli was exceedingly innocent and looked somewhat embarrassed.
Hu Yang nodded.
Loli lowered her guard and said awkwardly, "H-hello! I... I came here to look for something."
"Looking for something? What is it?" Hu Yang raised a brow.
"I... I came to find Dragon Pearls." The innocent Loli answered frankly.
"Dragon Pearls?" Hu Yang feigned confusion.
"Yes, Dragon Pearls. I followed the aura of Dragon Pearls to this place."
"What are Dragon Pearls?" Hu Yang asked again.
The innocent Loli explained and described Dragon Pearls to him.
"Oh, but This Seat's cave dwelling does not have the Dragon Pearls you described." Hu Yang shook his head with a smile.
"Ah? Th-there aren't any?" Hearing that, Loli let out a regretful sigh.
"Since there are none, sorry for disturbing you. I'll leave now." Loli bowed slightly and turned to leave.
"Wait!" Hu Yang called out to her.
Hearing him, Loli stopped and turned back around.
"D-do you need something else?" Loli asked in confusion.
"This Seat remembers now. I once saw the Dragon Pearls you described somewhere else," Hu Yang said solemnly.
Loli was delighted. She hurried over, grabbed his hand, and asked, "R-really? Where?"
"Ahem, well..." Hu Yang glanced at the hand she was holding.
Seeing that, Loli awkwardly released him.
"Um, sorry! I... I was just too excited." Loli's face flushed red as she lowered her head.
"Are Dragon Pearls very important to you?" Hu Yang continued asking.
"Yes! They're really important
