"This..."
Seeing this, Old Ancestor Cold Flame was instantly dumbfounded. One major reason he had partnered with Xiong Shan was to rely on him to pass through the illusion array ahead.
Yet Xiong Shan had abandoned him without a second word, leaving him in an awkward predicament.
"Hehe, it seems Little Friend Xiong is unwilling to travel with us any further.

"Pancakes! Pancakes from Fifth Brother's shop! If they're not good, you don't pay!"
"Finest rouge and cosmetics! Come take a look!"
"Sir, come have some fun, sir!"
