Phoenix Feather Crow had run away, but Xu Chunniang did not take it to heart.
She had been careless and accidentally imprisoned Phoenix Feather Crow for several hundred years. It was lively by nature and had never been able to bear loneliness; choosing to run away was perfectly normal.
By a full count, she only had a little over twenty years left in the demon realm.
If Phoenix Feather Crow failed to return to her before she entered Spirit Demon Island, they would have to part ways.
So be it. It had been born in the demon realm and raised in the demon realm.
Perhaps staying here would be the better choice for Phoenix Feather Crow.
"Scorpion Granny."
Scorpion Granny opened her eyes, delight flashing across her face. "My lady, you have finally emerged from seclusion!"
My lady had remained in seclusion for far too long this time—two full centuries!
More than once, she had even wondered whether something had gone wrong while her lady was in seclusion.
But out of her trust in Xu Chunniang, she suppressed the thought as soon as it arose.
"Don't worry. This will be the last time. While I was in seclusion, did anything major happen?"
"Over two hundred years, many major events took place. But no matter how turbulent the outside world was, Dark Night City remained standing firm."
With an excited expression, Scorpion Granny briefly recounted the major events of the past two hundred years before adding,
"My lady, while you were in seclusion, Wuzha from Dark Night City came looking for you. But I told him you were in seclusion and sent him away."
"I understand. We have stayed in Dark Night City for many years; it is time to leave. But before we go, we should bid the master farewell."
