A dragon and a monkey flew into the clouds and mist.
"Chitter, why is the Divine Dragon Hall's most important mausoleum unguarded?"
"Of course it's unguarded. This is only the edge of the mausoleum. We're grave robbers; by custom, we ought to dig a thief's tunnel and sneak in. How could going through the front gate show off this dragon's superb tomb-raiding skills?"
"Chitter chitter, so we're sneaking in. I even saved a few candles..."
Bai Yujun filtered out the monkey chatter and slowly, carefully searched through the mist, her fingers continuing their calculations. The spell-generated fog was not natural and was difficult to control; otherwise, it would have taken only a single breath.
