It turned out Vivian really did get hungry quickly.
Hao Ren and Lily had barely stood watch at the valley entrance before the explosions and cracking sounds from the distance gradually died down. The clouds of smoke and dust in the sky also slowly dispersed as a sudden gale swept through the heights. Lily nervously clutched Hao Ren's arm so hard that even the Rigid Shield sparked. "Hao...
