Why Did You Come Back?

"Hahahaha, you've finally given up, haven't you? Ahahaha!!!" Lan Yin laughed so hard she bent forward and backward.

Jiang You gave her a chilling look. Perhaps Lan Yin's mockery had completely crushed her hopes.

She climbed straight into the huge, deformed heart hanging in midair inside the cavern, following the spot where she had dragged Lan Yin out before.

Lan Yin frowned. "Hey, Jiang You, what are you going in there for?"

"That's the tree heart. There's no exit!"

"Don't waste your effort. If I weren't certain you'd stay behind, I wouldn't have told you so much!"

After a while, Jiang You still hadn't come out.

A long time later, the beef hot pot on Danjuan's table had completely cooled. The beef fat had solidified, yet Jiang You still hadn't come out.

After who knew how much more time had passed, Lan Yin finally couldn't take it anymore. She gathered the bedsheet around herself and rose from the chair.

She walked beneath the huge heart and looked up into it.

There seemed to be some kind of sound.

Lan Yin frowned.

"Creak... creak..."

It sounded as though an animal were chewing on something.

Lan Yin's brows furrowed. Could Jiang You be secretly eating something delicious without her?

That was too much!

They were neighbors in the same tomb, yet she was eating alone!

Kill her. Kill them all!

Everyone deserved to die!!

Wait, no. That sound...

Lan Yin suddenly heard a muffled boom, as though something had exploded inside the tree heart.

There was something indescribably wrong with the sound.

She hurriedly climbed along the rocks to the tree heart and crawled inside through the wound that had yet to heal.

The liquid inside was so dense and viscous that she couldn't see a thing. She could only grope around.
