"Wait, wait!"
Hold your horses!
It was a dark, windy night, and this place was so densely populated. One careless move, and they would become the center of attention—broadcast live to everyone!
Gu Yuena was pulling Chi Xiu along when she suddenly stopped.
"Who's there?"
She stared toward a certain spot, her expression abruptly turning wary.
Chi Xiu was afraid of being watched live, and naturally, so was she. They could kill anyone who had seen them afterward, but Chi Xiu definitely would not agree to that.
"What is it?"
Chi Xiu asked.
"I heard something over there just now. It sounded like water, but I also heard a woman's voice."
Gu Yuena pointed behind a huge boulder.
Chi Xiu suddenly chickened out. "Let's go, let's go. We can do this another day. There's no rush."
"I want to make Master happy."
Gu Yuena stubbornly held her ground. Chi Xiu studied her expression and strongly suspected that at least seventy percent of her motivation was sheer desire.
"I'm already very happy right now."
"I don't believe you!"
After saying that, she grabbed Chi Xiu again. "Let's first see whether someone is hiding behind that rock. What if it's a spy from the Sun Moon Continent?"
Once she put it that way, Chi Xiu was genuinely tempted.
The two approached the area, while Chi Xiu released his spiritual power. Yet he did not sense anyone's presence.
"They probably ran away. If you hadn't shouted just now, we could have caught her."
"Let's take a look first."
The two arrived behind the boulder and indeed found no one.
Only the grass was somewhat wet, as though something had been poured over it.
"What is this?"
"Dew, maybe..."
"It isn't even dawn yet. Where would dew come from?"
Chi Xiu curled his lip
